Chapter 666 Route issues

The Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee of Yan Province said it was big or small. When Qian Jinsong first left, it was not a particularly important position. But now it is different. Now, due to the proposal of the Great Capital Economic Circle, Yan Province has increased significantly. At the same time, there are too many people who are paying close attention to the vacancies in Yan Province than before. Moreover, in the eyes of senior management, Yan Province's status is also very different from before.

The situation is always changing, so those who know the current affairs are heroes. It’s not that Mr. Wu and Wu Caiyang do not know the current affairs, but they have not changed their mentality yet and have not seen clearly that with the different status of Yan Province, the weight of Yan Province has increased a lot in the eyes of the Wu family. Similarly, in the eyes of others, including the Qiu family and the Mei family, and even the few people in the highest level, all have a different taste.

Well, just watch the situation change. Xia Xiang temporarily extinguished his mind. Although he has been a little tired these days, physical fatigue is nothing. Only mental fatigue is really tired. Dealing with one different type of people after another makes him exhausted.

He took back his thoughts and his eyes fell on Lian Ruohan. He realized that she was more beautiful than Hua. Her jade face was lazy, her eyes were flowing, her charm was revealed, her jade arms were exposed, her shoulders were slanted, and she looked down along her collarbone. She was smooth, and the two fragrant mountains were inevitable. She stretched out her hand and touched her body. It turned out that she had already been waiting for him to come.

Xia Xiang turned over without hesitation and smiled: "Jasmine flowers die..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lian Ruohan with a smile: "Is it Furong good? You used it wrong twice..."

"I like Jasmine, but I don't like Furong." Xia Xiang now has Furong phobia. When Furong mentioned Furong, the image of a woman covered in flesh and frowning, which made her feel disgusted.

"Okay, okay, it's up to you, no matter what Furong or Jasmine you work hard enough, you will be a good man." Lian Ruohan hugged Xia Xiang with both hands, bit Xia Xiang's ears, and giggled.

A good woman knows the beauty of flirting and knows the right teasing. Compared to before, Lian Ruohan's boldness has an irresistible temptation, and she has indeed become a mature woman.

Xia Xiang wanted to tease her a few more times, but she couldn't help but go straight to the point...

The next day, I finally slept peacefully and said I was safe, but in fact I got up at around 8 o'clock. Because Xia Xiang was shocked in a daze, he suddenly realized a serious problem and it was time to see Lao Gu.

Perhaps it is time to see ancient jade. Because it is really unreasonable to stop seeing ancient jade again and again.

Gu Yu was very patient, so he didn't call him to urge him. He probably got angry. After breakfast, Xia Xiang told Lian Ruohan that he wanted to meet friends, so he drove out.

I only called Guyu when I got outside.

"Where can I go to see Gu Yatou?"

"You can't see you anywhere, I don't want to see you anymore." Gu Yu was indeed angry, "You have the leisure to meddle in other people's business every day. When you see this and that, you are really a very busy person. Grandpa is not as busy as you."

Lao Gu's voice rang aside: "I told Xia Xiang to come to my house, he knew where it was..."

Xia Xiang had been there last time, so he naturally knew the place, so he said to Guyu: "I really have to be busy with something, and I can't help it. Okay, I'll go there now, and I'll try your skills and have improved."

"Well, come here quickly. I'll buy two bags of soy sauce on the way, so I can cook." Gu Yu calmed down again and told Xia Xiang to do things.

Xia Xiang was speechless. When did he become a soy sauce? Soy sauce is not a good thing. When it became popular in the future, it became synonymous with no one. No one in the officialdom wanted to become the soy sauce.

When I arrived at the old ancient house, the scenery was still the same, but it was declining because of winter. Fortunately, there was still holly that could keep it green, which was a bit of vitality.

Gu Yu was wearing a tight denim, rolled up her sleeves, bent over, and packed a tilapia in the yard. She was wearing an apron, with a thin waist, a squint, round and straight, and shiny, which made Xia Xiang, who had experienced the taste of it, couldn't help but stagnate at first glance. Then she hurriedly took back her mind and watched the ancient jade work.

Xia Xiang doesn’t like to eat fish. If you have to eat a few bites, just eat some rofia, because rofia is less meaty.

Seeing Xia wanted to come in, Gu Yu's little face turned red first, and then cold again: "Do you still know how to come? You don't care about my words at all, it proves that you don't have me in your heart."

"Who said you weren't there?" Xia Xiang laughed and reached out and put a bag in front of the ancient jade. "Here, you said you asked me to buy two bags of soy sauce. I bought you ten bags at once. How about it, you have to sit on the sofa freely, listen to the opera played on the old record player, and humming with the beat.

Seeing Lao Gu's attitude, Xia Xiang finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the atmosphere of today's conversation would be more relaxed and pleasant, and there would be no longer the cold and indifference when meeting Wu Caiyang.

To be honest, Xia Xiang had known Lao Gu for a while, but he didn't dare to say that he knew Lao Gu's character and character very well. Lao Gu seemed to have no temper, but he was able to sit in a high position throughout his life. If he had no skills, no one would believe it. However, Lao Gu had no intention of him, so he always guessed that Lao Gu was close to him, was it really out of friendship?

Just to make him a friend who has been making for years?

It would be easy to say if he was Mr. Gao. After all, Mr. Gao is not a real official and has no desire for power. At the same time, Mr. Gao is also relatively casual. People who are obsessed with design will naturally become much less concerned in other aspects. Xia Xiang believes that he still understands Mr. Gao, but he always feels half familiar with Mr. Gao.

As soon as I entered the door today, I saw Lao Gu's leisurely posture, especially his humming opera, which surprised him first, and then felt an inexplicable sense of strangeness.

Lao Gu nodded at Xia Xiang, signaling Xia Xiang to sit casually, and then sing opera on the beat. Xia Xiang has no research on opera, but it can be heard that Lao Gu is singing "Shajia Bang". It cannot be said that the words are straight and round, but it is also considered to be rigid and eye-catching, and his singing skills are really good.

It is estimated that Guyu did not fake the imperial edict, and it seems that Lao Gu did have something to look for him. But Lao Gu was not in a hurry. Is there anything urgent? Xia Xiang just sat aside, and didn’t rush, and quietly savored the essence of Peking Opera.

After singing for nearly ten minutes, Lao Gu stopped and smiled: "Xiao Xia, you have a very lively year this year, right?"

"Yes, it's not only lively, but also upset." Since even Gu Yu said that Lao Gu was concerned about the candidate for the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, it means that Lao Gu must have a clear understanding of his whereabouts. Needless to say, meeting the Qiu and Mei families, the contact with Wu Caiyang and the disbandment in a bad mood, Lao Gu probably knew it clearly, and Xia Xiang would no longer hide anything, "It's not as good as your old man, you have free and leisurely singing."

"Singing opera is to sing opera, leisure is leisure, it is not a matter of the same thing." Lao Gu smiled and pointed his hand at the peanuts and melon seeds on the table, "Come on, eat something casually, and enjoy this during the New Year. When I was a child, I looked forward to the New Year. I would wear new clothes for the New Year and have delicious food as soon as the New Year. At that time, even melon seeds and peanuts were rare..."

For some reason, Lao Gu felt very happy and sighed. Maybe when people get old, they like to remember the bitterness and sweetness: "It's different now. I don't have that state of mind. During the New Year, it's either socializing or visiting relatives or friends. I don't lack anything, but I feel that there is always something missing. The New Year atmosphere is weak, and I feel that the New Year is no different from usual..."

Not to mention when Lao Gu was a child, even when Xia Xiang was a child, he also looked forward to the New Year. He lived in the countryside when he was a child. His neighbor was a butcher and killed pigs as soon as the New Year was over. At that time, he liked to go to see pigs with a group of children because after killing pigs, he had pig trotters to play with.

It is to take off the black skin of a pig's trotter, put a little lard in it, and then make a cotton rope, and it can be used as a small oil lamp. At that time, a small lamp was a piece of warmth and hope - a few children were holding pig's trotter lamps in their hands and laughing on the street until late at night, which was the most moving scene during the New Year in the countryside.

When I grew up, there were street lights in the village, and the New Year became food, drink and fun. Later, life became a little richer, and the New Year became gambling. Apart from eating, drinking, people rarely talk about homework. When they talk, they compare, make money, eat, wear and drink, or they just sit in front of the TV and spend time.

Lao Gu's feelings aroused Xia Xiang's feelings. He shook his head and smiled: "The taste of human feelings fades, and the flavor of the New Year fades. In the past, the New Year was a gathering and the guests were full of guests. Now, the New Year was about eating, drinking, having fun, socializing and comparing. The flavor of the New Year has not changed, but the hearts of the people have changed."

Lao Gu slapped his thigh with a "pop": "It's rare that you have such insights at a young age. When I was so young like you, I was so angry every day, so I wouldn't have any profound thoughts. Xiaoxia, you are really not simple."

"Where, don't praise me, I just felt it's like a moment of emotion. It's much shallower than the glorious years of your old life." Xia Xiang couldn't do without a few humble words, and he also saw that Lao Gu was truly praising him. Although he was a human being for two lives, he was actually not as good as Lao Gu's turbulent life experience. "I'll ask me to come today, what are you going to give me?"

Xia Xiang got to the point.

"There is one thing you have to help me make a decision." Lao Gu reached out and took out a piece of material and handed it to Xia Xiang. "Hang Chengyuan is the director of the Ministry of Finance. He has experienced his qualifications and has the ability. Someone asked me to contact me and wanted him to serve as the secretary-general of the provincial party committee in Yan Province."

Xia Xiang felt nervous. Unfortunately, he was hit by Gu Yu's words. Lao Gu actually had the idea of ​​the secretary-general of the provincial party committee and asked him for advice. He had long since thrown the olive branch to the Qiu family. Although he tried hard to convince the Mei family, he offended the Wu family because of this. Now, Lao Gu has been in a stubborn way, and the situation is getting more and more complicated.

Xia Xiang took the information and only glanced a few times without looking closely, because he knew that since someone had found Lao Gu and Lao Gu even raised it to him in person, it was obvious that this person was quite worthy of face and Lao Gu was not easy to refute. Since this is the case, there would be no problem with Hang Chengyuan's qualifications, and it would be the same whether he could look at it or not.

Lao Gu asked him to make an idea, but he really had no good idea.

Xia Xiang looked at Lao Gu, and saw Lao Gu's face was calm, his eyes were firm, and he was determined to win, so he couldn't help but shake his head secretly. He didn't know how amazing Lao Gu's true strength was, but he also knew that Lao Gu would not take action easily. If he really made up his mind to take action, the Qiu family would face the opposition of the Wu family and the competition between Lao Gu, he might be defeated by Maicheng.

This year has been really ups and downs.

Xia Xiang put the information back on the table, thought for a moment, and told the truth: "The Qiu family has begun to operate the candidate for the provincial party committee secretary-general."

Lao Gu nodded: "I know."

"The Mei family will also help the Qiu family."

"I know, too."

"Secretary-General Qian met with Minister Qiu yesterday, and the talks should have been good."

"I know everything." Lao Gu's expression was as motionless as a mountain, without a trace of smile, "I just asked if you support Hang Chengyuan."

"It doesn't seem to matter whether I support it or not..." Xia Xiang smiled.

"It's not the key to whether it's important or not, it's your attitude." The expression on Lao Gu's face was unprecedentedly solemn, "I just want you to give me a clear answer."

"What is the background of Hang Chengyuan?" Xia Xiang was very curious about why Lao Gu wanted to support Hang Chengyuan. He just briefly scanned Hang Chengyuan's resume and did not find many highlights and intriguing things. Could it be that he is an ordinary grassroots official?

Xia Xiang really guessed correctly. Lao Gu answered Xia Xiang's question: "I have no background or origin. I am just an ordinary person with no roots and no bottoms. I climbed to the position of director step by step. He has a good relationship with one of my old comrades-in-arms. The old comrade said that Hang Chengyuan is upright and has good comprehensive abilities, and is suitable for balancing the situation in Yan Province..."

There was no highlight in the previous words. The last sentence made Xia Xiang’s eyes lit up - balancing the situation in Yan Province - this sentence is not something that ordinary people can say, and it cannot be a military person. Military people are not very concerned about the local situation. Even if they care about the local political situation, no matter how high a soldier is, he will not interfere in the local situation.

I'm afraid the old comrades-in-arms mentioned by Lao Gu are not the real comrades-in-arms.

"Hang Chengyuan's qualifications are a bit insufficient. It is very difficult for him to step from the official department to the Standing Committee and the Secretary-General." Xia Xiang hesitated for a moment, and then expressed his opinion, "The reason why I support the Qiu family to arrange people to Yan Province is not to support the Mei family and Wu family because of the consideration of balancing the situation."

Lao Gu had a stern face: "So, do you no longer support Hang Chengyuan?"

Xia Xiang told the truth: "I have expressed my attitude to the Qiu family and have done a lot of work. It is impossible to go back on my word. Besides, it doesn't matter whether I support it or not. Now it is a game between the upper classes."

Xia wanted to tell the truth, but Lao Gu didn't appreciate it: "What I want is your attitude, not the final result. So, are you still firmly going to take the family route?"

Family route? Xia Xiang flashed his mind and suddenly realized something. He thought of the candidate proposed by Lao Gu. Even he felt that the possibility of passing was extremely small. It was not like a real nomination candidate, but like a intentional test for him, and then connected from Lao Gu's personality and his purpose of getting closer to him. He finally understood something and smiled knowingly.

"What delicious food did ancient jade make today?" Xia Xiang suddenly changed the subject and asked.

"I don't plan to do it. I didn't make your meal today." Lao Gu got angry, stood up and shook his hand, "I'll go for a walk in the yard. Are you going to stay or stay? Please give me some advice."

Lao Gu left as soon as he said that, leaving Xia Xiang, and leaving.

Xia Xiang shook his head helplessly. This year, he was not good for the passing of time. He was neglected by Mr. Mei for a while, and then scolded by Wu Caiyang. Now, he was fine, and was hung up by Lao Gu. So, everyone showed their true side in front of interests.

However, Xia Xiang was amused and not angry at all for Lao Gu's temper, so he walked in the living room with his hands behind his back. After walking a few steps, he found the carving of the mantis stalking cicadas that Lao Gu sent him last time in a corner of the living room.

Xia Xiangran laughed silently. The so-called national treasure, when he wants to make trouble, he will make a fuss about it. It is a national treasure. If it is useless for the time being, it will be put aside, which is an ordinary jade. It can be seen that right and wrong are all in the hearts of the people. Sometimes, out of political needs, it is an indispensable means to reverse black and white.

Just like Lao Gu's temptation to him just now, it is also a kind of means.

Xia Xiang basically guessed Lao Gu's position, which was one of the opponents of the family forces. Therefore, he was very dissatisfied with the choice of the candidate for the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee for helping the Qiu family to operate. Because he helped the Qiu family unite the Mei family, Lao Gu finally decided that he was going to follow the family forces route after his judgment since he met him.

Even if he had a gaze like a torch like Lao Gu, he could not see his true intentions clearly. Xia Xiang didn't know whether he should be glad that he was lofty or sigh that he was not understood by the world.
