"...Learn from my mistakes, what happened this time made me not only feel ashamed of myself, but more importantly, I feel sorry for the trust of my leader and the concern for me. After this incident, I knew that no matter what, I would not make up for my mistakes. Therefore, I do not ask the leader to forgive me, and no matter how severely and severely punish me, I will not have any objection. I hope that my mistakes will sound the alarm for other cadres! Finally, I ask the leader to give me another chance. In my future work, I will express my awakening through my actions and make positive contributions through my hard work. Please believe me..."

Bai Zhanmo burst into tears in front of all the Standing Committee members and cried in a mess.

Political figures are also human beings, and they also have seven emotions and six desires. When they see a big man crying in pain, they are also sympathetic. Especially the members of the Standing Committee who have a neutral position, they obviously cannot bear to watch it anymore.

Fu Xianfeng secretly praised Bai Zhanmo, "Okay, those who know the current affairs are heroes, and they will cry when they cry. It's not a shame. As long as they can maintain their official position and power, they won't be afraid of crying for a few more times. Liu Bei's country still cried. As long as they can succeed, they don't have to worry about the use of glorious or disgraceful means.

Chen Feng couldn't bear to watch it anymore and waved his hand: "Okay, okay, don't cry anymore, you can calm down and wait outside."

Bai Zhanmo said "yes" and bowed.

Hu Zengzhou sighed: "Comrade Zhan Mo's attitude of admitting his mistakes is very sincere. I think he will be punished with a demerit."

"A demerit is punished and another half a year's salary is deducted." Fu Xianfeng made a big move.

The cleverness of Fu Xianfeng is that when he reaches the level of the district party secretary, who would take the salary seriously? But he offered to deduct wages, which was to block others' mouths and take a high attitude first. Anyway, he wanted to seize the initiative.

"It doesn't matter whether the salary is deducted or not, just remember the punishment." Su Gongchen, secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, said slowly, "It is mainly about curing diseases and saving people, and just let Comrade Zhan Mo remember a profound lesson."

Li Dingshan and Gao Hai didn't say anything, just waiting for Chen Feng to make the final decision.

Chen Feng did not intend to dismiss Bai Zhanmo from his post because of a recording incident. The reasons were not sufficient and the mistakes were not enough to be dismissed. He accepted the punishment when he was good, and the punishment for demerit was basically achieved the effect he wanted. He nodded and said, "Okay, Comrade Zhanmo was also a first-time deal. He didn't know the power of online communication now, so he made a big mistake. This incident also gives us a warning. You must strictly demand yourself when speaking in the future. Before you speak, you must first pass the brain and consider what you are. Don't forget that you are a party member and cadre when you are impulsive. It represents the image of the majority of party members and cadres. I hope everyone can learn from it and don't make the same mistake again."

Finally, the Standing Committee unanimously formed a resolution to punish Xiama District Party Secretary Bai Zhanmo for one year.

At noon, the news reached Xiama District. As soon as I went to work in the afternoon, there were a lot more directors of various bureaus who came to Xia Xiang to report on their work than usual. Even Zheng Guanqun, the education director who has always been closest to Bai Zhanmo, also came to report on his work with a shy face. The smile on his face was like a chrysanthemum hit by frost, shriveled and yellow.

Xia Xiang didn't say anything. Zheng Guanqun reported the work and when he left, he happened to meet Shi Changle at the door. Shi Changle was happy when he saw Zheng Guanqun and smiled happily: "Old Zheng, you have also heard that Secretary Bai had memorized the punishment. OK, the reaction is very fast."

Zheng Guanqun was most afraid of Shi Changle because Shi Changle was the best at punishing people. He smiled awkwardly and didn't answer, so he wanted to escape quickly.

How could Shi Changle miss a good opportunity to mock Zheng Guanqun? He continued to smile and said, "Next time I will come to District Mayor Xia to report on his work. Remember to buy two bags of soy sauce, because I have known that you have a very good level of soy sauce... Oh, why did you go downstairs? Secretary Bai's office is upstairs. You said you don't go to see Secretary Bai if you come to the district committee for a while, isn't it reasonable?"

Shi Changle's voice was loud enough, and the sound was loud enough, and echoes were everywhere in the corridor. Zheng Guanqun, who had already taken a few steps down the stairs, thought something was wrong, and Shi Changle shouted that Secretary Bai must have heard it upstairs. If he didn't go up, he would seem too ignorant of being a human being. He had to go back hatefully, glared at Shi Changle, and went upstairs again.

Shi Changle laughed: "Be careful, don't be scolded."

Shi Changle was right. Bai Zhanmo was in trouble. When he heard Shi Changle's shouting downstairs, Zheng Guanqun really came up. When he thought of Zheng Guanqun shook his head and tail at Xia Xiang first, he looked at him. He was so angry that he scolded him. As soon as he saw Zheng Guanqun, he scolded him in a slight manner, and scolded Zheng Guanqun so hard that he could not find the east, west, and finally ran away in shame.

Since then, Zheng Guanqun hated Shi Changle and wanted to take revenge.

When he got off work in the afternoon, Xia Xiang unexpectedly received a call from Yu Fanran. Yu Fanran suggested to sit in the forest. Xia Xiang hesitated and agreed.

Yu Fanran proposed the invitation at this time, probably with deep meaning. Sure enough, when Xia wanted to arrive at Forest Residence, he didn't expect that Yu Fanran had already arrived one step ahead.

Yu Fanran is the executive vice mayor, a level older than Xia Xiang. In the officialdom, he has always been a subordinate and superior, and there is no reason for superiors to subordinates. Yu Fanran's attitude of waiting for Xia Xiang is obviously not just a pretending gesture.

Xia Xiang was so polite that he went upstairs with Yu Fanran.

It was said that it was indeed not a time since I met Chu Zigao. When Chu Zigao heard that Xia Xiang was coming, he hurried back from the suburbs and came to the forest residence to wait for Xia Xiang.

Chu Zigao's business has been doing well recently and is expanding into suburban counties and is busy. He also heard about Xia Xiang's injury incident, and wanted to visit Xia Xiang. He also called Xia Xiang, but Xia Xiang refused. Chu Zigao now feels that he is getting farther and farther away from Xia Xiang. He knows that Xia Xiang's core circle is full of important people. Although he is also the number one person, it is still far behind those around Xia Xiang who often has hundreds of millions of dollars. His total assets are only 100 million.

Chu Zigao knew that his ability was limited, so he no longer thought about it. As long as Xia Xiang gave instructions, he could do as he could. Anyway, he would just follow Dingxia Xiang.

Therefore, Xia Xiang came to the forest residence again, but Chu Zigao was overjoyed from the heart and rushed back from the suburbs not far away hundreds of kilometers. Just to meet Xia Xiang, he expressed his feelings in person.

Xia Xiang and Yu Fanran sat in the elegant room and introduced Chu Zigao to Yu Fanran. Yu Fanran shook hands with Chu Zigao politely and said, "I have heard of you, Mr. Chu. I heard that it was your Chu Fenglou that brought good luck to Xia Xiang? Haha."

It was his honor for the Executive Vice Mayor to be clear about the past between him and Xia Xiang. Chu Zigao looked at Xia Xiang and saw Xia Xiang smiling, so he dared to say with courage: "The leisure square designed by District Mayor Xia is next to Chu Fenglou. Secretary Chen happened to inspect and admired the design of the leisure square very much, so he remembered the name of District Mayor Xia. It should be said that District Mayor Xia brought me good luck to Chu Fenglou."

After a few words, Chu Zigao made a general comment about Fanran: he could speak, do things, and was very steady.

Xia Xiang patted Chu Zigao on the shoulder and smiled and said, "Old Chu, I haven't seen you for a long time. I've gained a little weight recently? Haha. I'm in Xiama District now. It's inconvenient to come to your hotel. It's a bit far away. You can't open a branch in Xiama District, or something, so that I can't go there and eat freely?"

Chu Zigao was beaten by Xia Xiang's intimate behavior, and when he said something, he almost burst into tears. The leader is now promoted, and he is surrounded by big bosses of a large group, but he has not forgotten him as a little person, which makes him feel moved.

If it weren't for Yu Fanran's presence, he might have really squeezed out a few tears.

Holding back tears, Chu Zigao smiled all over his face: "Okay, leader, one word, Old Chu immediately."

Yu Fanran watched coldly and sighed in his heart that Xia Xiang was really a young man who could win over the hearts of the people. He was deeply trusted and supported by the superiors. He was deeply respected and loved by the subordinates. As Wu Caijiang said, he was a natural official.

Chu Zigao stayed for a while, then took the initiative to say goodbye and leave.

Yu Fanran did not get to the point first, but talked about the environment of the forest park: "Forest Park is indeed unique ingenuity. It has achieved good results in both social and economic benefits. I heard that you also participated in the design work at that time? Forest Park was the first successful project of Vision Group to enter Yan City. On the basis of the success of the forest park, the current collection garden and treasure house were successful..."

The existing houses of Diancangyuan and Treasure House have been sold out. Xia Xiang has also bought two units, which have been decorated in it, but has not moved in yet. He plans to move in again next spring. Yan Xiao, Guyu, Sun Xianwei and others also have one or two houses in Diancangyuan.

Xiao Wu also bought a house, not far from Xia Xiang’s new house, and planned to get married.

The great success of the two communities brought huge profits to Vision Group. The second and third phases of the property started construction almost at the same time. Now the second phase of the property has been sold out, and the third phase of the property has also been pre-saled 60% of the property. The funds of the two communities have been recovered quickly, which has shocked all developers in Yan City.

But no matter how smacking the tongue, everyone knows that the success of the two communities is based on the success of the forest park and is irreplicable. Because when the forest park started construction, many people were not optimistic about it and believed that it must be a failed investment. Even if it does not fail, funds cannot be recovered in a short period of time. No matter from any angle, it is not a cost-effective business.

As a result, the Forest Park was unexpectedly successful.

So although the Gallery Garden and Treasure House are extremely successful, the profit is amazing, the key is the rapid return and amazing. However, other developers have never thought of replicating the success of Vision Group except for envy. There is no way, some success cannot be copied. Yan City is just a forest park, and there is a steel factory and a pharmaceutical factory next to the forest park. In the future, I want to find such business opportunities in the city, unless Yan City will make another comprehensive plan in a few decades later.

It is precisely because of the far-sighted vision of Vision Group that has won the great success of Forest Park and two communities. Now it has sufficient cash flow and a perfect capital chain. Whether it is to build Xiamahe or to invest in the development of new properties in Xiama District, it is no problem.

Yu Fanran started with the Forest Park, and Xia Xiang understood that he was playing the friendship card.

Sure enough, the topic changed, and Yu Fanran said again: "My relationship with Jin and Zhou is pretty good. He often mentioned you when he returned to Beijing. But it seems that Mr. Gao admires you even more. Mr. Gao often said that Xiaoxia is a talent, a genius in design..."

He raised the Gao family's father and son again, and the meaning of getting close to him was even more obvious. Xia Xiang smiled modestly: "Where is Mr. Gao's award? Mr. Gao likes to praise others, especially young people who have a good relationship with him. He always likes to praise them endlessly. Haha, you also know that he is respected and likes to promote the poor. If Mr. Gao is a professor, he must be a professor who is deeply loved by students."

"Haha, it must be. I respect Mr. Gao very much." Yu Fanran smiled and changed the topic in time, "Governor Wu just called me and complained to you a little, saying that you don't call him. Isn't that bad?"

Xia Xiang has really not had much contact with Wu Caijiang recently. He is mainly too busy and has no time to care about it. At the same time, he also feels that there is no need to disturb Wu Caijiang. Now Wu Caijiang is the governor and has a lot of troubles every day. Could he call him, just ask him hello and ask about his health?

Xia Xiang shook his head and smiled: "Governor Wu is right in criticism, I accept criticism. It is because there are too many things recently, one after another. You also know that, first, Deputy Secretary Kang Shaoye died of illness, and now Secretary Bai is in a state of anxiety by the recording incident. The dismount area is now in chaos... When the situation calms down, I will definitely report to Governor Wu for work."

Xia wanted to report to Wu Caijiang or call him, but Yu Fanran didn't really care. What he really cares about was the situation in the dismount area: "Bai Zhanmo took a punishment and his life would be difficult in the future. However, he is still the top leader after all, and the matter on the scene should be settled. We cannot let others talk about it."

Yu Fanran's meaning Xia thought clearly. He was worried that he would be arrogant and do something that would make people criticized. Not only did he become accustomed, but he was also prone to being attacked. Xia Xiang nodded and said, "Thank you, Mayor Yu, for reminding me, I will pay attention."

Yu Fanran reminded Xia Xiang that it was not the purpose. His real purpose was to take the opportunity to cover Xia Xiang's words: "The recording event has a very good grasp of the timing and the methods are superb. Who would have operated everything behind the scenes?"

Xia Xiang refused to comment on Yu Fanran's temptation: "It's very simple, it must be Chen Jinming. His Fire Tree Building was stopped by Bai Zhanmo for no reason. He probably wasn't convinced, so he secretly recorded the sound and posted it online... It was also a helpless act. If there was no way out, who would be willing to go against the government, right?"

Seeing that Xia wanted to avoid the important things, Yu Fanran refused to admit his role in it, and did not force him. He continued: "You said that there should be no one except Chen Jinming, but this matter can only be speculation. It is not easy to blame Chen Jinming if there is no evidence. I heard that the Fire Tree Building has resumed work? OK, that should be like this." After a pause, he glanced at Xia Xiang meaningfully, "The people's congress in Xiama District is about to be held. Do you have any ideas?"

Xia Xiang felt inexplicably moved. Yu Fanran had something in his words, as if he was reminding something, and asked: "According to normal procedures, Bai Zhanmo will be elected as the director of the National People's Congress, and I will be elected as the district mayor... Will there be any other accidents?"

"Fu Xianfeng has a conspiracy and a means of conspiracy." Yu Fanran raised his glass to signal to Xia Xiang, and said, "Although there are few examples of the only candidate for district mayors being lost in domestic politics, it is not absolute. There are precedents for mayors being lost, but no media dares to report it. If you lose in district mayor election, even if you are nominated by the municipal party committee, re-elected and elected again, even if you pass, it will be a big blow to your prestige, and your district mayor's authority will be ruined. And maybe there will be a second failure..."

Xia Xiang was shocked. When he thought about it, he felt that Yu Fanran's reminder was not an unfair concern. There were many precedents in China that the deputy mayor was not elected, and there were even incidents where the vice governor was not elected. Of course, it is not ruled out that the candidates who were not elected have serious problems themselves, but who dares to say that someone had not manipulated the election?

Let’s not talk about the drawbacks of domestic elections or the advantages of foreign elections. Any kind of election may be manipulated by humans, even if it is a referendum. It is good that public opinion cannot be violated, but public opinion can also be manipulated. Ordinary people, influenced by the news media, listen, read, and come into contact with, are all screened news, and how much truth can they really know? When the truth of the matter is hidden behind the words, the truth that the people think is just a shadow reflected under a halo.

Since the truth is far away, the truth cannot be touched, and the so-called public opinion is actually fooled.

All democracy is relative and has very serious limitations. The United States holds high the banner of democracy and tries to conquer some so-called undemocratic countries with the slogan of democracy and independence, which has indeed overthrew Saddam, but what can it do? Iraq today is still a riddled country, and the people live under the pressure of local bureaucrats and the US military. The democracy and freedom promised by the United States is just a joke.

The United States does not care about the freedom of the Iraqi people, all they need is oil and geopolitics.

To put it simply, looking at the domestic market, there are few local election surprises, but not absolute. If all voters really do not support the only candidate, the candidate will have to lose the election in the end. Even if they move to another place and re-engage, at least the political future will be ruined in the local area where they are not elected.
