Chapter 662 The first meeting with Wu Caiyang
Chapter 662 First meeting with Wu Caiyang
"Didn't you always like girls? Just teach Xiaomu a few tricks." Mei Xiaolin said jokingly, looking at Xia Xiang with a smile.
Xia Xiang smiled and said, "I don't know that I'm going to like girls. Xiaolin, you're praised the wrong person. I always feel that in the relationship between men and women, I'm on the passive side."
Xia Xiang was originally an unintentional word, but Mei Xiaolin thought he was intentionally suggesting that he was intrigued by a night of confusion. She couldn't help but blush and hurriedly turned around and pretended to tease Mei Ting.
After lunch at Mei's house, Xia Xiang did not stop and offered to say goodbye. Mr. Mei did not try to keep him, and asked Mei Shengping to send Xia Xiang off. Xia Xiang hurriedly refused politely, saying that he did not dare to work Minister Mei to take over. Mei Shengping followed the situation and asked Mei Xiaolin to send Xia Xiang out.
Mei Xiaolin held Mei Ting and sent Xia Xiang to the yard, and then noticed that Xia Xiang was driving a brand new Volvo. She thought of something, and her nose felt sore and she almost burst into tears: "Is it her new car she gave you?"
"I can't say I'll give it to you, just lend it to me." Xia Xiang wanted to dilute the atmosphere, but he realized that he had said the wrong thing again as soon as he spoke.
Sure enough, Mei Xiaolin returned to her unpredictable temper when there was no outsider. She snorted: "Pretty, why do you lend me some help? Can you tell me who is with each other and whom? Yes, you and her are intimate, I am just a passerby of you, or someone you don't want to face again after a secret love affair."
This is a bit similar to cheating and acting cute. Xia Xiang touched her nose and smiled: "Don't be angry either. Actually, I feel very guilty too. I can't take care of my daughter's growth and I'm also cruel to her..."
"I think you are not guilty, but happy. I have gained money once and have a daughter in vain. I don't have to be responsible for one-night stands, nor have I raised my daughter to grow up. And maybe my daughter will be very close to you when she grows up." Mei Xiaolin continued to mock Xia Xiang, "Am I right?"
Of course not. Although Xia Xiang is a man, men also have self-esteem, not a weak person who allows women to bully him. However, the words turned into: " Raise your daughter well and grow up, I will leave her a generous dowry."
"Your false love is not needed!" Mei Xiaolin didn't appreciate it, "Let's go quickly, stop talking too much."
Xia wanted to get in the car, but as soon as he started the car, he saw Mei Xiaolin knocking on the window and put down the glass.
"I'm going to go to work, but I don't want to keep taking care of my children at such a young age. Do you think I'm still going to the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League?"
Of course I have to go to the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, which is a good place. Xia Xiang said: "Go, you must go. Not only do you have to go, but you also have to do it well. Maybe you will become a female governor in the future..."
Mei Xiaolin is 31 years old this year, and she is in charge. She should be mentioned as the deputy department. After working in the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League for two or three years, she will be promoted to the main department and become the mayor at once. Then she will continue to work hard, it is not impossible to become the governor.
"I am a single mother, how could I become the governor?" Mei Xiaolin rolled Xia and thought.
"When did you see a family of female senior officials exposed? Do you know how many female senior officials are single?" Xia Xiang asked bluntly, "So, have confidence in yourself. Under the current system, you are not afraid of what your private life looks like, but you are afraid that you are not capable. As long as you can climb to a high position, no problem is no longer a problem."
Mei Xiaolin nodded thoughtfully: "I'll try..."
Back at Lian Ruohan's residence, Xia Xiang didn't take a breath, the phone rang again. He smiled at Lian Ruohan apologetically, took her water, took a sip before answering the phone.
The phone number was called by Qiu Xufeng.
"I heard that you met Mei Shengping, are there any inside information?"
Well, now he has become the focus, and people are staring at every move. As soon as he came back from Mei’s house, Qiu Xufeng knew it clearly and would he still make people have privacy?
Xia Xiang was not angry, but was funny. When it was concerned about his own interests, the big family also had times when they were indignant. It can be seen that Yan Sheng has indeed become a hot commodity now. He has become a hot commodity because of this. It is really a pie that could not have been expected to fall from the sky.
"When will you hold a banquet at the Beijing Hotel and treat me well?" Xia Xiang joked.
Qiu Xufeng immediately heard the implication and said happily: "Is Mei Shengping willing to help?"
"To be precise, Mr. Mei will help clear the work in the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee. But I think you still need to work hard in Yan Province." Xia Xiang gave Qiu Xufeng a reassurance.
Qiu Xufeng was even more overjoyed: "Okay, okay, so good, thank you so much. Xia Xiang, the Beijing Hotel will definitely invite you to dinner, and you can wait for my news."
Xia Xiang was about to say that he was just a joke. He was not that interested in eating and so on. He still had a lot of things to be busy with, so he probably didn't have time. Before he could speak, Qiu Xufeng hung up the phone.
Xia Xiang shook his head helplessly, forget it, let him go.
At noon, Xia wanted to take a nap with Lian Ruohan. After only a while of sleep, he was woken up by the phone again. He was confused and did not see the call clearly, so he answered the phone directly: "Hey, who?"
"I am Wu Caiyang!" A majestic and cold voice sounded, like pouring a basin of cold water on the twelfth day of the tenth winter months. Xia Xiang was completely awakened and sat up from the bed.
He never expected that Wu Caiyang would call him directly!
Lian Ruohan slept next to Xia Xiang. Xia Xiang suddenly sat up and she was awakened. Without thinking too much, she asked, "Whose phone number?"
Lian Ruohan's voice was not loud, but the room was particularly quiet. Wu Caiyang could hear it clearly at the other end of the phone. Although he had been mentally prepared and knew that Lian Ruohan would definitely want to be together in Xia, he still felt extremely uncomfortable and couldn't help but cough.
Xia Xiang heard impatientness from Wu Caiyang's cough, and hurriedly said respectfully and politely: "Hello, Minister Wu!" Then he stopped talking and waited for Wu Caiyang to speak.
Lian Ruohan immediately realized who the phone number was. She was not afraid of Wu Caiyang and said dissatisfiedly: "Lower the voice, don't wake up the child." There was also a little impatient in her tone, obviously she had said that Wu Caiyang had heard it on purpose.
Xia Xiang shook his head, ran to the front of the window, and said, "Minister Wu has any instructions, please give me instructions."
Wu Caiyang pondered for a moment, and said with difficulty: "Yan Hong and Jin Zhou are both here. They propose to get together with you. When will you come?"
Wu Caiyang did not ask whether he agreed or not, but asked when he would come over. Obviously, he was talking to him in a condescending tone.
Xia Xiang hesitated slightly and was a little confused.
Perhaps in Wu Caiyang's opinion, it was already a huge shame for him to directly surrender Zou Yugui to call him. With two heavyweight officials from Yan Province, he would definitely have to rush over.
Yes, no one can wait to go there if it is changed. One is the Minister of Publicity of the Central Committee, the honorable member of the Politburo, and two members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, both of whom are senior officials at the provincial level. Even the provincial party secretary dare not neglect this lineup. Not to mention a small deputy department-level official, it is a huge surprise.
But Xia Xiang didn't have any joy in her heart. On the contrary, she had a slight worry.
Wu Caiyang called him, but it did not mean that he had forgiven him. Moreover, Xia Xiang had already heard from his stiff and arrogant tone that Wu Caiyang still had a lot of objection to him.
At the same time, Xia Xiang knew better that Wu Caiyang set up a stance to invite him to go, and there might be no good things. In other words, what Wu Caiyang thought was good things went against his principles. When he went, he went to the Hongmen Banquet, but was equivalent to going to the meeting alone.
Go or not?
"The location is Zangzhuozhuang." Wu Caiyang seemed to have no patience to wait for Xia Xiang to answer, so he directly reported the location, and then hung up the phone.
Even Ruohan guessed something and asked, "Did your father want to meet you?"
"It's not about thinking, it's an order." Xia Xiang smiled, "and also carried out Secretary Li and Governor Gao, and put forward a very big formation."
Even Ruohan realized something and asked in surprise: "What did you do that made him look for you so much? Don't think about it, there is no good thing. I know my father too well. He wants Li Yanhong and Gao Jinzhou to suppress you because he can't directly care about you, but Li Yanhong and Gao Jinzhou can. Since there is no good thing, I don't have to go. Let me explain to him in the future."
"No, I really have to go there. I know there is a tiger in the mountain, so I tend to go to Tiger Mountain." Xia Xiang suddenly made up his mind and knew that there were some things that could not be avoided, but in order not to worry Lian Ruohan, he smiled again, "Aside from that, he is my father-in-law, I must give him face, right?"
"Where is your father-in-law? Go, don't talk to me. I don't want to call him dad. Don't scream with shame. He is very stubborn. If you are careful to provoke him, he will show you his face." Lian Ruohan said half-smilingly.
"I won't make him angry. I like to make others happy the most. During the Chinese New Year, I just meet and gather together, talk and contact you. Moreover, Secretary Li and Governor Gao are there, so it's not good to see me if I don't go. Besides, I once promised Secretary Li that I would come to the capital to see him during the Chinese New Year. Now he knows that I am here, and if I don't go to see you, it seems that I am untrustworthy." Xia Xiang has many reasons and is sufficient. He also knows that he must meet Wu Caiyang and explain some things in person.
"Okay, you'll be too lazy to care about you after you go." Lian Ruohan stretched out, revealing her tight white waist. She wore a autumn suit, wrapped her tight autumn suit around her body, and her curves were revealed, and Xia Xiang couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"Do you want me to take off my clothes and look at me?" Lian Ruohan teased Xia Xiang again.
Xia Xiang was defeated: "Not now, let me see enough in the evening. Now I have to set off quickly. Speaking of which, what about the hidden manor... how to get there?"
Xia Xiang traveled south all the way to a forest. After passing through the forest, there was a house with open doors in front of him. The house was simple and elegant, with green bricks and green tiles, and the walls were exposed and not decorated. At first glance, it seemed very rough. Only after taking a few more glances, you will find that there are unique craftsmanship everywhere, and there is a state of cleverness as if it is clumsy.
The person who hides his crux and incompetent means hiding his cleverness and being generous and restrained, is a master of designing this place.
Xia Xiang drove into the gate, parked the car, and led by the waiter, walked through the courtyard like a courtyard, and came to a place called Tingyuxuan.
It’s a pity that the capital is in the middle of winter now, and there is still snow on the shady side of the roadside. If you want to listen to the rain, you will have to wait until at least three months later.
The biggest disadvantage of the capital is that the winter is too long and dry, and it is very cold and strong. Yan City is less than 300 kilometers south of the capital, but it feels that the winter in Yan City is much warmer than that in Beijing.
The capital is too susceptible to the cold currents coming from the north. When it gets cold, it can be cold to the core of people.
Xia Xiang entered the door of Tingyuxuan and found that there was another world inside, just like the houses of ancient wealthy families, the so-called seven in and seven out, one layer after another. The structure inside and outside Tingyuxuan is similar to that outside, similar to a smaller courtyard.
Xia Xiang entered the door, and the waiter left.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a small courtyard facing the courtyard. It was an old house. The old house was a wooden house with glass windows. Through the window, you could see a few people sitting inside, and several people were talking around the red charcoal fire.
In an instant, Xia Xiang felt as if he had entered the ancient times, as if a group of idle old men and young men were talking around the fire. Unexpectedly, Wu Caiyang was quite romantic and asked him to come to such an antique place.
However, after pushing the door in, heat came to my face. Xia Xiang realized that the charcoal fire placed in the middle was just a decoration. In fact, there was still heating inside, which was as warm as spring. As a result, if you really had to stomp your feet and roast the fire on a cold day, it would be a cold that you could not stand for if you were used to heating.
As soon as he looked up, Xia Xiang saw Wu Caiyang sitting in the middle at a glance.
Wu Caiyang sat on the main seat, facing north and south, with a cold face, as if he was about to get angry. His hair was slightly gray and his earlobes were extremely large. According to physiognomy, it was definitely a blessing. His nose was straight and his mouth was square, and he had the majesty of being arrogant without anger, especially his eyes, even if he squinted his eyes slightly, his eyes were very strict.
Wu Caiyang has a standard national face. At first glance, there are not many similarities to Lian Ruohan. Even if Lian Ruohan stands with him, outsiders will definitely not think that they are father and daughter.
Xia thought about it, it seems that Lian Ruohan still has more places like her mother, no wonder she has the surname Lian.
As soon as Xia Xiang entered the door, there was a sensation of air conditioning. Wu Caiyang's slightly narrowed eyes suddenly opened and looked at Xia Xiang, but nodded expressionlessly.
When Li Yanhong hesitated whether to stand up or not, Gao Jinzhou had already stood up, came to Xia Xiang with a smile, and took the initiative to shake hands and say hello: "The weather this year is really cold. As soon as I returned to the capital from Yan City, I felt that the capital was much colder than Yan City. Is it Xiaoxia? How about it? Is it suitable for the climate of the capital?"
Xia Xiang smiled: "The climate is easy to adapt, but the atmosphere is not easy to adapt. The climate is natural, and people must adapt, but they cannot survive if they do not adapt. The atmosphere is artificial, and people must learn to adapt."
Li Yanhong had never seen the energy of Xia Xiang in the Yan Provincial Party Committee that disrupted a pool of muddy water. During the period when he arrived in Yan Province, no major incident happened. Unlike Gao Jinzhou who witnessed with his own eyes that several members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee jointly made the same voice because of Xia Xiang's incident. Therefore, it was almost a subconscious approach that he had stood up to greet him. He did not even think that he was a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and a vice governor.
Li Yanhong was hesitating for a moment because of his identity. When he saw Gao Jinzhou's initiative and enthusiasm, he put on airs and stood up to greet him: "Come on, sit here. No one is outsider, and there is no bad atmosphere. Xiaoxia doesn't have to adapt deliberately, haha."
Having said that, Wu Caiyang still couldn't sit upright in the first place, just nodding at Xia Xiang, which was considered to be a greeting.
Xia Xiang didn't care about Wu Caiyang's attitude. In terms of position, Wu Caiyang is a member of the Politburo and has entered the ranks of national leaders. In terms of personal terms, Wu Caiyang is Lian Ruohan's father and his father-in-law whom he cannot disclose. He also knew that until now, Wu Caiyang has not completely forgiven him for his affairs about Lian Ruohan. I am afraid that it is because of the great world that is great, and it is not as great as interests. Face is important, and it is also as important as interests.
In the final analysis, even if people live in the world, even if they become supreme figures, they will never escape the interests and greed. If they truly reach the state of no desires and no desires, they will escape from the world. So it is basically certain that anyone who pursues fame and fortune in the world is definitely not a master, nor a god. In the words of the ancients, gods and immortals will never like A Duwu.
Who has ever seen a god who pretended to be a ghost but made a lot of money? In later generations, there was a pseudo-god who claimed that he could hold his breath underwater for 2 hours, claiming that he could prolong his life for everyone. As a result, there were many believers, including Niu Duo, the founder of Baotao.com, who was called an alien. After the incident of the pseudo-god, Niu Duo, who paid several thousand yuan in tuition, argued that he followed the pseudo-god to prolong his life, but was experiencing a different life.
Unfortunately, one truth that everyone knows is that the reason why the pseudo-gods are famous is because they boast that they can prolong life. His believers, including big-name singers, well-known entrepreneurs, etc., are all outstanding people in their respective fields. It can be seen that IQ is not necessarily proportional to identity.
Or after a deeper analysis, you will conclude that no matter how high a person reaches, he will be greedy, desire, unrealistic ideas, and will do stupid things that may not even be an ordinary person.
Chinese people, especially grassroots people, always think of officials as mysterious, wise and correct. In fact, they are all human beings, all have joys, anger, sorrows, and times when they make mistakes.
