Xia Xiang smiled with understanding: "The leader is a gentleman, and I will definitely not give gifts. But there will be small gifts, but I don't respect them. I just give them. Whether or not I give them is my attitude. Whether the leader wants them is the leader's business..."

"You, you..." Hu Zengzhou laughed loudly, and the laughter was particularly loud in the quiet night, conveying a message of joy and expectation.

Xia Xiang put down the phone and looked out the window. In the dark night, there were still many people in the distance with lights, and it was obvious that there were still people who were not asleep. At night, Yan City was like a sleeping giant beast. No one knew how many joys and sorrows would happen and the world would change.

Hu Zengzhou was also interesting. Xia wanted to take back his mind, closed the window, and shook his head and smiled. Like many leaders, Hu Zengzhou had to celebrate two birthdays, one was the lunar calendar and the other was the Gregorian calendar. Due to personal resumes, there are information to check, which is considered a public birthday. The leaders who want to collect money all celebrated with great fanfare, while the low-key leaders all spent secretly. In fact, there are still many leaders who have to celebrate the lunar birthday while celebrating their birthdays in the Gregorian calendar. The lunar birthday is not made public to the public, and only a few people know that basically the people who can participate are people he recognized.

Xia Xiang was quite satisfied with being able to attend Hu Zengzhou's lunar birthday party before he took over as secretary, at least it means that in Hu Zengzhou's mind, he has not gone far away and has always had a place in Hu Zengzhou's heart.

Xia wanted to go upstairs and fell asleep peacefully.

Unlike Xia Xiangran's sleep, Hu Zengzhou felt particularly clear after answering Xia Xiang's call, and his slightly excited brain made him lose all sleepiness and could not fall asleep for a while.

He has always had a complicated and unspeakable mood for Xia Xiang.

Since the beginning of contact with Xia Xiang in Zhangcheng City, Hu Zengzhou has had an inexplicable favor with Xia Xiang, and even secretly led to his confidant in his heart. Later, he came to Yan City to take office. During the initial hesitation and adaptation period, Xia Xiang used his deep network of relationships to help him in time, allowing him to gain a foothold, and slowly opened up the situation in Yan City. It can be said that Xia Xiang has helped him so much. Although Yu Gong is a subordinate and Yu privately he is a junior, Hu Zengzhou still feels secretly grateful.

If the Wu family had not taken action to suppress Xia Xiang, the relationship between him and Xia Xiang might have been smooth. But a sudden incident broke the balance of Yan City. For his own future and long-term plans, he drew a clear line with Chen Feng in time, and at the same time, there was a crack in his relationship with Xia Xiang.

Xia Xiang, his relationship with Chen Feng is too close and unbreakable. When he goes far away from Chen Feng, he will definitely become alienated from Xia Xiang. In addition, he withdrew his firm support for Xia Xiang at the most critical moment, which led to Xia Xiang not becoming the district party secretary as he wished, which also made him feel guilty.

Yes, the superiors felt guilty about their subordinates because Hu Zengzhou knew in his heart that Xia Xiang had always helped him a lot, but he did not give Xia Xiang substantial help. In fact, he wanted to show off his skills in Yan City and to offset the pressure from Fu Xianfeng. Because of Xia Xiang's network of relationships, there were still many places that needed to use Xia Xiang.

The situation is stronger than others, Chen Feng is about to leave office, and once Xia Xiang's most determined backstage leaves Yan City, the power of Yan City will be reshuffled. At the same time, the biggest gap between Xia Xiang and him no longer exists. Because Fu Xianfeng is expected to be the mayor, Hu Zengzhou suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of urgency, and Xia Xiang's importance has once again been raised to an irreplaceable level.

Yes, it is indeed unsubstituted. Who has Xia Xiang who knows many key people in the municipal party committee? Who has Xia Xiang who has deep connections in the municipal party committee? Needless to say, Li Dingshan and Gao Hai are the secretary-general, the other is the deputy mayor of the Standing Committee, and the new organization minister Qiu Xufeng is also an old friend of Xia Xiang. The relationship between Xia Xiang is said to be very strong. Even Executive Vice Mayor Yu Fanran took the initiative to congratulate Xia Xiang's son at the full moon banquet at the beginning of his term of office, expressing his urgent desire to win over.

Basically, all important figures of the Listing Committee have more or less close relationships with Xia Xiang. Fortunately, as long as it involves major issues with Xia Xiang, no one can guarantee that the above heavyweight standing committee members will not join forces to make the same voice!

It would be fine if Hu Zengzhou didn't think deeply, but once he thought deeply, he felt even more thrilling. The key positions of the Yan Municipal Party Committee, people came and left, were replaced many times over the years, making the Municipal Party Committee Piaotianyi still tight and uninterrupted, and seemed to be affected.

Hu Zengzhou was shocked. After thinking carefully, he realized that the key point was that Xia Xiang had always looked at the future and completed a long-term layout that was far beyond ordinary people. Using far-sightedness to describe Xia Xiang may have raised him a little, but using far-sightedness to describe his political wisdom is not too much.

Needless to say, Li Dingshan has always been firm in his relationship with Xia Xiang. Gao Hai was not promoted to Standing Committee Member for a long time, and he took over He Jianghua's position. On the surface, He Jianghua took the initiative to resign at that time, and Hu Zengzhou also knew in his heart that it was Xia Xiang who cooperated with Chen Feng to act. It is true that Gao Hai is Chen Feng's person, but the friendship between Gao Hai and Xia Xiang is deeper. As soon as Chen Feng left, Gao Hai's importance became more prominent.

In addition, Qiu Xufeng's position as the director of the organization was also a masterpiece. Hu Zengzhou also heard a little about Qiu Xufeng's thrilling process in the process of taking over the organization minister of the Municipal Party Committee, and also heard some news about the role Xia Xiang played. At that time, he didn't think Xia Xiang's approach was so clever, and he thought he was just to deliberately make things difficult for the Fu family. It seems that this is not necessarily the case now, because even if the Fu family does not want to take over the position of the organization minister of the Municipal Party Committee, Xia Xiang might persuade the Qiu family to take action.

The position of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Minister, whether it is Fu's or anyone else's position, is not as beneficial to Xia Xiang as Qiu Xufeng. Hu Zengzhou now understood something, and it turned out that Xia Xiang had already begun to make arrangements for the post-Chen Feng era.

As for Yu Fanran and Xia Xiang approaching, Hu Zengzhou couldn't guess the inside story, but he could also know a rough idea. It was because Yu Fanran wanted to make his own voice at the Standing Committee. If Xia wanted to help him sincerely, if Yu Fanran could win over Li Dingshan and Gao Hai, and even Qiu Xufeng, an executive vice mayor, a member of the Standing Committee, and a minister of organization and secretary-general, he would be a big headache if he was the mayor now, even if he became the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.

Moreover, Sun Dingguo, the head of the Public Security Bureau, also had an extraordinary relationship with Xia Xiang!

What's more, once Fu Xianfeng becomes mayor, with Fu Xianfeng's character and strength, he will inevitably have more conflicts of interest with him. He is weak in the Standing Committee, and even the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee may not be able to defeat Fu Xianfeng, who has a family background.

If the secretary of the municipal party committee is still suppressed by the mayor, he will be extremely depressed, even the superiors and subordinates will look down on him and no longer have a good future. Therefore, the most urgent task is to win over and unite a large number of intermediate forces before Fu Xianfeng becomes mayor and establish a solid alliance.

Xia Xiang has once again become the focus.

As long as Xia Xiang wins over, it is equivalent to directly winning over Li Dingshan, Gao Hai and Qiu Xufeng. At the same time, it is equivalent to indirectly interfering with Yu Fanran and Sun Dingguo. The importance of Xia Xiang is, not to mention the entire Yan City, but looking at the entire Yan Province, it is also a unique person.

Hu Zengzhou asked Zhuang Qingyun to tactfully release his kindness to Xia Xiang. He was worried that Xia Xiang would not accept his kindness. Although he knew that Xia Xiang could not get along with Fu Xianfeng, if Xia Xiang held a grudge against him for not supporting his actions at a critical moment, he would have to take a neutral position in the factional struggle of the municipal party committee.

Xia Xiang is neutral. It is hard to say whether Yu Fanran and Sun Ding Congress support him or Fu Xianfeng on major issues, but Li Dingshan, Gao Hai and Qiu Xufeng will definitely take care of Xia Xiang's emotions. If Xia Xiang has a position on some major issues, their position will probably be consistent with Xia Xiang. And Xia Xiang, if he is sincere in opposing him, he can really take advantage of the situation and take him when he confronts Fu Xianfeng!

Fortunately, Xia Xiang accepted Zhuang Qingyun's hint, so he let Hu Zengzhou sigh, and his heart was put into practice.

If Hu Zengzhou was just a little relieved when he heard that Xia Xiang would come to his birthday party, the call he called in the middle of the night made him feel completely relieved and understood that Xia Xiang was not a vengeful young man. He had the courage, insight, and ambition.

Because Xia Xiang's phone call tonight was a test and a show of kindness, the reason why he chose to call so late was to see if he was relaxed and casual. And he also deliberately called his private phone, which also made a hint to repair his personal relationship. Xia Xiang meant that he wanted to be a subordinate who could call him to report his work at any time in the middle of the night, rather than having to meet in the office during office hours.

Xia Xiang's phone call has been called for half an hour, and Hu Zengzhou was not sleepy yet. He was on the lights in the living room and kept smoking. He estimated the positions of various members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, the less sleepy he felt.

Fu Xianfeng returned to the capital. He knew in his heart that in recent times, Fu Xianfeng had very little time in Yan City, and ran to the capital every few days. No wonder many forces in the capital are willing to plant forces in Yan City. Yes, Yan City is the closest provincial capital to the capital. If you have anything, you can go back in two hours and have an interview. It is so convenient.

Officials pay attention to level and power, not to look good on the surface. Yan City is the best springboard, and now it has become a place that all forces must compete for. The more this happens, the stronger the desire to guard his own acre of three-point land.
