: Mysterious

A meeting that was originally thought to be a verbal battle ended in vain, and ended with Li Han's embarrassment and helplessness, which was beyond Xia Xiang's expectations. Xia Xiang originally wanted to persuade Li Han from a political height, which was also showing his respect for the district mayor as the secretary. He did not expect that Zhuang Qingyun and Chen Tianyu had their own means, and each person and one person defeated Li Han.

After the meeting, Xia Xiang had just returned to the office and received a call from Yuan Mingliang, who made an appointment to go to the square to finish get off work in the afternoon to hold the opening ceremony of the Lantern Festival. Xia Xiang put down the phone and thought to himself that Yuan Mingliang was moving so fast that he had already arranged everything in more than a day. It seemed that he had a plan and had already made lanterns in secret, otherwise where would it take a few days to go?

Xia Xiang notified Huang Jianjun again and asked him to organize police forces to be responsible for the safety of the lantern festival and to ensure that no major accidents occur. Huang Jianjun made a guarantee that he would go out in person to maintain order.

Just after everything was arranged, Zhuang Qingyun unexpectedly came to the office.

Xia wanted to get up to greet him as a polite expression. Zhuang Qingyun nodded and said directly: "I asked you for leave in advance. The 20th day of the first lunar month is Mayor Hu's birthday, so it will take half a day to delay."

Xia Xiang squinted her eyes and smiled.

Zhuang Qingyun is not asking for leave, but there is still one week left. Where can I ask for leave so long in advance? He is hinting that he is here.

Whether Zhuang Qingyun is making his own decisions or Hu Zengzhou's signs, Xia Xiang has to go to Hu Zengzhou's birthday party. Otherwise, it would seem that he is too big. Moreover, Chen Feng is about to leave, and basically Hu Zengzhou's takeover as secretary is a foregone conclusion. He needs to repair his close relationship with Hu Zengzhou.

Political affairs are always unchanging. Hu Zengzhou served as the top leader, with a higher vision and greater power. Correspondingly, he would broaden his mind and occupy a favorable position in political struggles. He changed from his previous neutral position to vigorously promoting his own governing style. He needed to unite a group of people.

Obviously, Fu Xianfeng is not the best person he needs to unite.

Xia Xiang smiled knowingly at the right time: "Okay, okay, Mayor Hu's birthday will definitely be full of guests. If Mayor Hu doesn't dislike him, I will go and celebrate his birthday in person."

When Zhuang Qingyun saw Xia wanting to hear the string song, he knew the meaning of elegance, and he also smiled knowingly: "I think Mayor Hu will definitely be very happy."

Zhuang Qingyun's words are not casual words. His attitude is probably Hu Zengzhou's private attitude. Xia Xiang understood something, and Hu Zengzhou must have heard of Chen Feng's resignation. However, Chen Feng's resignation is not the focus of the problem. The focus is on who will take over as mayor!

Yes, who will take over as mayor is also the problem that Xia Xiang has been unable to grasp.

Yu Fanran is the executive vice mayor. It is logical that he is the first-order successor, but he has too little qualifications and has been the executive vice mayor for too short. It is almost impossible to step into the throne of mayor. Moreover, even if someone above supports him, it is difficult to convince the public.

Basically, the possibility of Yu Fanran taking over as mayor can be ruled out unless some unpredictable factors arise.

If you are promoted locally from the current Standing Committee of Yan City, Fu Xianfeng is the most suitable!

As the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and the third-ranked heavyweight in Yan City, Fu Xianfeng has been working in the municipal party committee for two years. Basically, all the work is reasonable. The most important thing is that there are people above and have a deep background. If you work hard, there will be great hope.

Fu Xianfeng took over as mayor, which was the most unfavorable to Xia Xiang's situation. As one of the people Fu Xianfeng hated the most, once Fu Xianfeng was confirmed to be the mayor, he would never be lenient when he should take Xia Xiang. Moreover, as mayor, his power is much greater than that of the deputy secretary, and his supervisor's work scope is also comprehensive. Xia Xiang really has to be careful.

After the New Year, I haven't heard anything about Fu Xianfeng, so Xia Xiang was worried. As expected, Fu Xianfeng must be secretly operating the mayor's throne.

Moreover, Hu Zengzhou might have heard some news and strengthened his power. Because under Chen Feng's strength, he as the mayor could temporarily join forces with Fu Xianfeng. However, after Chen Feng left office and Fu Xianfeng took over as mayor, once he took office as secretary, he would become an opposition with Fu Xianfeng. Moreover, he also knew Fu Xianfeng's character, with a strong backstage and a strong wrist, and would definitely be a strong mayor. Hu Zengzhou was suppressed by Chen Feng for a long time. He definitely did not want to be the secretary of the listing party committee and be forced to be restrained by a strong mayor.

People want to be the master of their own country, and no one wants to obey others or be forced to do anything, especially those in high positions. Hu Zengzhou is preparing for the future. He secretly gathers his strength to unite on his birthday. He has been in Yan City for several years and has not yet fully established a foothold. If he takes over as secretary, he has the title of Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, and is forced by Fu Xianfeng at the level, not to mention that he will feel frustrated and uncomfortable, even the superiors will doubt his abilities. If he cannot win the respect of his subordinates, Hu Zengzhou will definitely not wait for the tragedy to happen.

But if Fu Xianfeng really serves as mayor, it will really put a huge constraint on Xia Xiang!

In this way, since Hu Zengzhou released his kindness through Zhuang Qingyun, he must hold the friendship hand that Hu Zengzhou stretched out.

As soon as Zhuang Qingyun left, Xia wanted to see the time. There was still some time before the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the Lantern Festival, so he picked up the phone and called Chen Feng.

"I knew you should call, and I must have heard some wind." Chen Feng came up and cursed, "I knew you wouldn't call and ask for help when you have nothing to do. I had to wait until you had something to do before I could sharpen my gun."

Xia Xiang naturally knew that Chen Feng was talking about a joke. He never did anything to sharpen his guns. He would be successful in everything, and if he didn't feel he was ruined. Xia Xiang would never have been able to get to where he was today if he didn't do anything one step ahead of others.

However, Chen Feng's resignation has not yet been specifically revealed. It should be said that he has been hiding it deeply. Perhaps the superiors do not want to alarm too many people in advance, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

But there are always people who will learn some inside information in advance that there is no airtight wall in the world.

"There is no airtight wall in the world. Secretary Chen, I didn't hear any wind, but someone deliberately let me know the wind." Xia Xiang was used to Chen Feng's true and false jokes, and laughed, "Just just now, Zhuang Qingyun told me that he would take leave a week in advance because Mayor Hu was about to celebrate his birthday."

"Haha." Chen Feng smiled and immediately understood something, "One birthday can remind you of many problems, you are really good... To be honest, it is true that I transferred, but the exact location has not been decided yet. Maybe it will be delayed for half a year, maybe I took a photo of the board, arranged a location for me, and left Yan City in three to five days."

"No matter where Secretary Chen goes, he is always high. I definitely want to congratulate you..." Xia Xiang said a little while, paused, and then said, "The key is..."

"The key is the candidate for mayor, right? I know that what you care about is not my stay or leave, but the situation in Yan City in the post-Chen Feng era." Chen Feng said angrily, then smiled again, "This matter is hard to say now. Now, the personnel adjustments in Yan City and Yan Province are as follows, as long as they are in key positions, there are very important people watching. I heard that not only the candidates for the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee have alarmed the General Secretary, but also the Chairman and the Prime Minister have expressed different degrees of concern for the mayor of Yan City."

The news revealed by Chen Feng is definitely not groundless, but the facts, because at Chen Feng's level, he can access some important secrets. If he goes further, he will either be the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee or the executive vice governor, and will officially move into the reserve sequence of provincial and ministerial cadres. After the expiration, he is expected to serve as the governor and become a senior member of the party.

Besides, Xia Xiang knew that Chen Feng was in the backstage of the capital and heard that he was very powerful now and had room for improvement.

The two news revealed by Chen Feng's words are very intriguing.

The candidate for the provincial party committee secretary alarmed the General Secretary, which was equivalent to confirming Xia Xiang's speculation. He did not dare to draw a rash conclusion whether the General Secretary was a supporter of the family power. The key is that the candidate for the Provincial Party Committee secretary must be discussed by the Politburo, but it may not necessarily pay attention to the candidate for the Provincial Party Committee secretary. But now that the General Secretary has alarmed the General Secretary, it means that the struggle has risen to the highest level, and it also means that the Wu family has encountered many obstacles. Otherwise, according to Wu Caiyang's conceit and speculation, the question of candidates should have been settled long ago. It is still stalemate, and the situation is obviously not good for the Wu family.

The second interesting thing is that the candidate for the mayor of Yan City has attracted the attention of the chairman and the prime minister, which further proves that Yan City's position in the minds of the senior central officials is increasing day by day. Although the mayor of Yan City is also a deputy provincial cadre, the decision-making power is still in Yan Province. After the provincial party committee's nomination was finally passed, it only needs to file with the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee. But now the chairman and the prime minister have expressed different degrees of attention, which is meaningful, because I don't know what the purpose of the chairman and the prime minister to actively express their concern?

When you reach the level of the chairman and the prime minister, you don’t just pay attention to one thing. Once you pay attention, it will either be a major event that is related to the national economy and people’s livelihood, or a very influential political event. Otherwise, it will never rise to the level of attention.

In other words, Chen Feng has not yet left office, and the game has begun to start a game, and the level is still very high. Obviously, if Xia Xiang expected it is good, the Fu family has already taken action.

The Fu family probably knows that the throne of the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee is one step too late, so they have little hope. They can do their best to win the throne of the mayor of Yan City. Moreover, Fu Xianfeng is now the best candidate to take over as mayor.

Once the political struggle reaches the highest level, Xia Xiang can only stand by, but he also knows in his heart that no matter how high-level struggle politics is, it is nothing more than interests and balance. Interests first, then balance, or balance first, then interests, all depend on their different political positions.

Xia Xiang smiled and skipped the question of the mayor's candidate: "Do you have any ideas about your next arrangement?"

Xia Xiang couldn't care about Chen Feng's whereabouts.

"It's hard to say for the time being. The biggest possibility is to go to the capital ministries and commissions. I won't stay in Yan Province anyway." Chen Feng's voice was a little nostalgic. He had been in Yan Province for many years, and the most critical position in his life was spent in Yan Province. He still had a lot of feelings for Yan Province.

Xia Xiang was speechless after hanging up Chen Feng's phone. Although he knew that Chen Feng would leave sooner or later, he was still a little heavy when things came to an end. It was not because Chen Feng left and he lost his backer in the municipal party committee, but in the years he had met Chen Feng, he had a good relationship with Chen Feng, and he was also deeply cared for and cared for by Chen Feng.

At around 6 pm, Changji Commercial sent a car to the Municipal Party Committee Courtyard to pick up Xia Xiang and Li Han to cut the ribbon for the opening ceremony of the Lantern Festival.

The Lantern Festival starts from the 14th day of the first lunar month and lasts for three days until it ends in the early morning of the 17th day of the first lunar month. The main venue is located on Long Vision Avenue and Long March Avenue. Because Xiama District is a new district, the streets are wide and the layout is reasonable, Changji Trading has only been arranged for a day and a night.

Xia Xiang and Li Han got into Changji Trading car with them. Both of them were in the car behind. Xia Xiang sat with Li Han, so he had something to say.

"District Mayor Li, after the 15th day of the first lunar month, most of the workers who returned home will come back to work, and the various construction projects in Xiama District will usher in a new climax. It is necessary for the district party committee and government to visit the construction site to appease the workers and boost morale. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen safety awareness among all construction sites to avoid major safety accidents."

Li Han nodded: "Secretary Xia is right. I have arranged for Comrade Yuanqing to be responsible for this matter in detail, and he has also made detailed arrangements."

Xie Yuanqing and Li Han approached? Xia Xiang's eyes flashed. He didn't care much about who Xie Yuanqing's position was, but believed that Xie Yuanqing's personality and way of doing things were not suitable for comforting and comforting workers, and Wu Gangde was the most suitable for Wu Gangde. However, Xia Xiang was not good at pointing out the internal affairs of the government, so he just said implicitly: "Gangde used to stay at the grassroots level for a long time..."

The implication is of course that Wugangde is most suitable for getting along with the workers.

Li Han was slightly stunned, smiled, and said nothing.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony was not good and there was nothing new. Xia Xiang and Li Han went on stage together, cut the red balls, then there was a thunderous applause, and then Changji Trade hosted a banquet for a staff member of the Xiama District Committee and District Government. After the meal, the Lantern Festival officially opened.

It has to be said that the lantern festival carefully arranged by Yuan Mingliang is indeed worthy. At first glance, the various lantern exhibitions compete for beauty and each has its own advantages. It really has the spirit of "the east wind blooms at night, and thousands of flowers bloom and falls, and the stars are like rain. The road is full of BMW carvings, the sound of phoenixes and the sound of pots turns, and the fish and dragons dance overnight", and the light of "fire trees and silver flowers are combined, and the light trees are shining thousands of lights". There are people coming and going, and it is very lively. In the midst of laughter, there is indeed a prosperous scene.

As a parent in the Xiama District, Xia Xiang was also very comforted to see this scene.

Finally, the party and government leaders in Xiama District, led by Xia Xiang, praised the Lantern Festival held by Changji Trading. It is estimated that there will be 50,000 tourists on the first night. With the popularity of the news tonight, the number of people will double tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

After Chunchun gave some advice, Xia Xiang repeatedly told him to pay attention to safety matters, and then left the scene. Lian Ruohan was waiting for him in Lianju tonight.

Xia wanted the driver and Chao Weigang to go home alone, so he drove to Lianju by himself. He received a call from Qu Yaxin halfway.

"Leader, I want to report to you about the Siniu Group. In principle, Mr. Yang agreed to build the farm in the Xiama area, but there is a condition..."

"What conditions?" Xia Xiang didn't expect that things were going very quickly, much smoother than he thought, and it also made him look at Qu Yaxin's work ability.

"Mr. Yang fell in love with a wasteland at the junction of Xiama District and Changshan County, and said it was more suitable for building a breeding farm. She wanted to designate the land in Chengxi Village to Zhongda Group!" Qu Yaxin didn't quite understand what Yang Guoying's purpose was, why did Siniu Group and Zhongda Group have another intersection? Why did the land be transferred to Zhongda Group? She couldn't figure it out.

Xia Xiang was driving the car very fast, but when he heard this, he was shocked and hurriedly pulled over to digest the amazing news brought by Qu Yaxin.

Xia Xiang's first reaction was the same as Qu Yaxin's reaction when she heard Yang Guoying's words. She was shocked and puzzled. She was also very puzzled that there was no business dealings between Siniu Group and Zhongda Group. Why did Yang Guoying stand up for Zheng Yi? Could it be that Yang Guoying secretly took Zheng Yi for any benefit, or for political reasons?

Yang Guoying is not only the chairman of Siniu Group, but also a politician. She is a cadre of a state-owned enterprise. It is normal for her to have a political stance and political orientation. However, she and Zheng Yi had contacts and proposed to transfer the land to Zhongda Group, which made Xia Xiang feel confused and a little more vigilant. Unexpectedly, his unintentional action only wanted to kill the stone milk powder, but also implicated Yang Guoying and Zheng Yi, or Fu Xianfeng, which was a surprising unexpected gain.

If Yang Guoying had either had contact with Zheng Yi or Zhongda Group or had a friendship with Fu Xianfeng, she would not have made a request that seemed unreasonable but actually had hidden interests... Xia Xiang thought for a moment and said to Qu Yaxin: "Let me think about it and I will reply to you later."

Xia Xiang would not rashly agree to any request before she understood Yang Guoying's original intention. Although the location that Yang Guoying took the initiative to propose was very remote, almost wasteland, far away from the city, the name was the jurisdiction of Xiama District, but in fact it was a three-discipline area that neither Xiama District nor Changshan County wanted. However, although it was remote and desolate, it was also at the foot of the mountain. It was also a good place to build a breeding farm. Moreover, it would not have any adverse impact on Xiama District.

But the problem is that Yang Guoying must have another idea, otherwise he would not put a good place without a use and hand over it to others. Whether it is a politician or a business person, there has never been a good person or a good thing, nor a saying that he has promoted his style.
