Everyone has their own intentions

"Old Hu, what time is it, and I'm not asleep?" My wife's complaining voice came from the bedroom.

Hu Zeng looked at the quartz clock in the living room on Monday and laughed silently. Xia Xiang was so excited that he had a call for a long time, but before he knew it, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening.

The next day at noon, after get off work, Xia Xiang had just walked downstairs and was about to drive to Hu Zengzhou's house by himself, and happened to meet Zhuang Qingyun. Zhuang Qingyun smiled, rubbed his hands and said, "Secretary Xia, I'll get a car, can you?"

It’s not a car, but a relationship. Xia Xiang nodded and smiled: “It’s okay to get a car. Next time you have to treat me to a meal and pay me back the gas.”

Zhuang Qingyun laughed: "Okay, no problem, please invite Secretary Xia to dinner. How many people can't even invite him? The leader takes the initiative to ask me to invite him. It is my honor."

As soon as the joke was opened, I felt that the distance between the two was much closer. Xia Xiang also knew that Zhuang Qingyun was not passing by by accident. He had no car and never came to the parking lot. Today he was waiting for him.

Sure enough, as soon as he got on the road, Zhuang Qingyun said with a serious expression: "Secretary Xia, I found a noteworthy issue that must be reported to you."

Xia Xiang saw Zhuang Qingyun and reported his work in a timely manner. He didn't know what he was calling, did he want to make someone else's report, or did he want to take the opportunity to get closer? He asked: "What's so serious?"

"Minister Mu has some violations of discipline in the promotion and appointment of cadres." Zhuang Qingyun's expression was very serious, obviously not a joke.

Xia Xiang was surprised. He knew the relationship between Zhuang Qingyun and Hu Zengzhou, and also understood the fact that Mu Yunshan and Teng Fei were also Hu Zengzhou's direct descendants. Therefore, Zhuang Qingyun, Mu Yunshan and Teng Fei had a natural intimacy. However, according to his secret observation, after Zhuang Qingyun took office, he had been with Mu Yunshan and Teng Fei for little contact. He also thought that Zhuang Qingyun was deliberately stunning the two of them for outsiders to see. Now Zhuang Qingyun suddenly hit Mu Yunshan's report, which made Xia Xiang secretly think about Zhuang Qingyun's real intention.

Zhuang Qingyun also saw Xia Xiang's guess, but did not explain, and continued to talk about Mu Yunshan's problem: "At the New Year, there was a group of deputy section-level cadres promoted. Minister Mu reported to me as usual. After reading it, I found that two of them did not meet the promotion conditions, so I asked him to take a look. In order to take care of his emotions, I approved the materials in the materials, but emphasized that he would submit them to Secretary Xia for approval... I thought he would report them to you for review, but I didn't expect that yesterday I found that the Organization Department had issued a document and approved the appointment."

The District Party Committee Organization Department approves the promotion of deputy section-level cadres within its authority. As the secretary, Xia Xiang has no energy to read them one by one. Mu Yunshan's approach was originally a normal move and there is no reproach. However, when Zhuang Qingyun specifically proposed to him to give it to him for his review, Mu Yunshan did not send a newspaper to him for approval. There were no procedural mistakes in doing so. But from Zhuang Qingyun's standpoint, Mu Yunshan obviously had two things to be picky about in this move.

First, Mu Yunshan despises Zhuang Qingyun's authority. Zhuang Qingyun is the deputy secretary, in charge of personnel affairs and in charge of the organization department. Mu Yunshan must be cautious in taking care of Zhuang Qingyun's opinions. Regardless of whether Mu Yunshan has a personal relationship with Zhuang Qingyun, official affairs are official affairs, and no one allows others to challenge authority within the authority.

Second, Mu Yunshan ignored Xia Xiang. Deputy Secretary clearly reminded Mu Yunshan to submit it to Xia Xiang for review, but Mu Yunshan ignored it. Not only did he not ask Xia Xiang for review, he also made his own decision to pass the appointment. Obviously, he did not take the secretary's power to take overall work seriously.

Of course, this matter is big or small. If Xia Xiang asks, Mu Yunshan will have a lot of reasons, and even can use his authority to suppress him. Yes, the secretary is in charge of comprehensive work, but he cannot be involved in everything. Even the promotion of deputy section-level cadres must be decided, and what is the use of the organization department? Is the provincial party secretary who has to review the promotion of department-level cadres in the province one by one, then don’t do anything, and you can exhaust yourself by reading materials every day!

In other words, there is no problem with this matter in terms of procedurally. What is wrong is Mu Yunshan's attitude. Did he do it on purpose or neglect it unintentionally? It is definitely not negligence. People in the officialdom can neglect their wives and children, their lovers and mistresses, and the people, but they must not neglect their superiors. Whoever neglects his superiors will have no future and will be neglected by their superiors.

Then it is safe to say that Mu Yunshan’s actions are obviously targeted.

It is worth intriguing whether it is targeting Zhuang Qingyun's instructions to deliberately not take Zhuang Qingyun's instructions seriously, or is targeting him as the top leader and ignoring the authority of his secretary.

Xia Xiang turned his head and looked at Zhuang Qingyun. Seeing that Zhuang Qingyun had returned to his calm face, he thought to himself whether Zhuang Qingyun's move was sow discord or to show his loyalty to him? Or both? Thinking of Zhuang Qingyun's serious face just now, he was calm now, Xia Xiang understood that Zhuang Qingyun wanted to use this matter to win his favor and let him take the opportunity to hit Mu Yunshan appropriately.

Mu Yunshan did a bit too much. Let’s not talk about whether the two deputy section-level cadres in question are worth the attention of the district party secretary, but at least they have to show their attitude, and it is necessary to act like this. How many things in the officialdom are not deliberately done? If you don’t act like this, how can you show your respect for your superiors? Sometimes you have to do something that is necessary to do something extra. If you have it, maybe the leader will blame you for being troubled. If you don’t, the leader will blame you for being ignorant.

Between the two conclusions of "eventful" and "ignorant", many people would rather choose "eventful" than choose "ignorant".

The implication of being ignorant is that it cannot be reused.

I'm afraid it's related to the similarly close and far relationship between Zhuang Qingyun and Mu Yunshan. After all, Mu Yunshan is still demonstrating to Zhuang Qingyun, which is a small provocation against Zhuang Qingyun.

It should be related to Zhuang Qingyun's dislike of Mu Yunshan. Xia Xiang did not want to intervene in the fight between Zhuang Qingyun and Mu Yunshan, but Mu Yunshan did lose points in this move, so he gave Zhuang Qingyun a pretty positive answer: "I will talk to Comrade Yunshan and I must eliminate the free and casual thoughts at work."

Seeing that Xia Xiang just responded without any pain, Zhuang Qingyun nodded and smiled, stopped talking, and changed the subject.

When he arrived at Hu Zengzhou's home, Hu Zengzhou lived in the Standing Committee Building behind the Municipal Party Committee Courtyard, very close to the Municipal Party Committee Courtyard. Xia Xiang parked the car. While pulling the hand brake, Zhuang Qingyun had already gotten out of the car one step ahead and helped Xia Xiang open the car door.

Zhuang Qingyun is the deputy secretary. In theory, he is the respected deputy secretary. There is no need to open the door diligently for Xia Xiang. However, when Xia Xiang saw Hu Zengzhou, Mu Yunshan and Teng Fei standing at the door, he had a deeper understanding of Zhuang Qingyun's actions.

Zhuang Qingyun is for people to see, Hu Zengzhou, and Mu Yunshan and Teng Fei.

Xia Xiang understood a little about the reason why Zhuang Qingyun and Mu Yunshan and Teng Fei were close and separated. Although the three of them were Hu Zengzhou's direct descendants and had the basis and possibility of joining forces, they might not necessarily have the inevitability of joining forces. People vary greatly. Zhuang Qingyun's personality is complex and calm. Mu Yunshan is calm, has a changeable personality, and has a side of playing with power. It is probably because Zhuang Qingyun doesn't like Mu Yunshan's personality very much.

It's interesting. Hu Zengzhou finally installed three direct descendants in the Xiama area, but the three of them were not in harmony. I believe Hu Zengzhou was also very depressed.

However, seeing Hu Zengzhou descending to welcome him, giving him enough face, Xia Xiang quickly walked forward, holding Hu Zengzhou Yuanyuan's hand stretched over, and smiled: "Chenyang is like spring warmth, and the words express my wishes in my heart. Wen Tao draws a blueprint, and his ambition should be high-minded - Mayor Hu, I wish you a smooth journey every year and a smooth horse every year!"

Xia Xiang's carefully prepared congratulations were both elegant and lofty. Hu Zengzhou was originally a literati, secretly prided himself as a calligrapher, and Xia Xiang celebrated his birthday with poems, which was deeply loved by him. Thinking of Xia Xiang, the only person who knew that he was a calligrapher, kept it secret for him for several years and never revealed any of them, made him look more at Xia Xiang's character.

Hu Zengzhou held Xia Xiang's hand tightly, and his face was full of spring breeze: "It turns out that Xiao Xia has the talent for writing poetry, which is admirable. Haha. When I have time to have free time, let's drink tea and talk about poetry together. Having a half-day leisure time in life is also a great joy in life..."

Hu Zengzhou's intimacy and enthusiasm fell in Mu Yunshan and Teng Fei's eyes, which made him feel a different meaning. Mu Yunshan and Teng Fei looked at each other and saw a hint of worry in each other's eyes.

Zhuang Qingyun stood behind Xia Xiang with a calm face, about half of his body, with a smile in his eyes. His attitude was so honest and his attitude was very respectful, which really made people unable to find any faults, but in Mu Yunshan's eyes, the more he looked at Zhuang Qingyun, the more he looked at him, the more he disliked him.

The so-called traitor is like a loyal person. It doesn’t matter whether Zhuang Qingyun is loyal or a traitor. What’s important is that he is loyal to whom he is loyal to. It is naturally a good thing to be loyal to Hu Zeng and Zhou Zhong, but if he is loyal to Xia Xiang, it will be a big trouble. Now the more Mu Yunshan looks at Zhuang Qingyun, the more he feels that he is pretending, and every move reveals uncomfortable hypocrisy.

Zhuang Qingyun knew that he and Teng Fei would come too, but he just took the same car with Xia Xiang. What is his purpose? Could it be that he deliberately showed Mayor Hu that his relationship with Xia Xiang is extraordinary, and that he has enough influence on Xia Xiang, thereby increasing his weight in Mayor Hu's mind?

Yes, Mayor Hu’s next step is Secretary Hu, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Yan Municipal Party Committee, who holds great power. Who wouldn’t want to increase the proportion of the top leader in the mind and let the top leader look up? But the problem is that the top leader is also a human being, and his position in his mind is limited. With Zhuang Qingyun, he may be gone.

Mu Yunshan's eyes were filled with dissatisfaction and stared at Zhuang Qingyun for a long time.

Zhuang Qingyun had long noticed the dissatisfaction in Mu Yunshan's gaze. He pretended not to see it, and still stood aside with a smile. Waiting for Hu Zengzhou to say hello to him, but he did not take the initiative to move forward to Mu Yunshan and Teng Fei said hello.

The atmosphere was very subtle and there was a hint of embarrassment that was not easy to detect. Hu Zengzhou didn't know if he really didn't notice it or pretended. Anyway, after he shook hands with Xia Xiang, he shook hands with Zhuang Qingyun briefly and then led everyone into the house.

Hu Zengzhou's lunar birthday was not announced to the public. Those who came today were not outsiders, but the ones he recognized, trusted and closely related. There were not many people in the house, only a few members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, Su Gongchen, Secretary of the Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission, Minister of Propaganda Hui Yongyi, Secretary of the Shibei District Party Committee Sun Aiyong, and several first- and second-in-commendations from other districts and counties. Most of Xia Xiang didn't know him.

At first glance, Xia Xiang understood in his heart that the people in front of him were basically Hu Zengzhou's full power in Yan City, and he was indeed weak and had no heavyweights. There was a secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, Su Gongchen, who was also a typical political speculator, who was good at getting along with others and making profits in chaos.

Xia Xiang had originally walked behind Hu Zengzhou, Zhuang Qingyun and others, and when he got into the house, he slowed down and walked at the end. When everyone saw Hu Zengzhou, Zhuang Qingyun, Mu Yunshan, and Teng Fei come in, they nodded and smiled. It was a ritual that had come. When a few people flashed, they revealed Xia Xiang who was falling on the back.

As soon as Xia Xiang appeared, the originally noisy atmosphere suddenly became silent, and the atmosphere suddenly became stagnant. Everyone's eyes fell on Xia Xiang, with questions, surprise, confusion, panic and dodging.

Xia Xiang? Why is it him? Why is he here? What is he here? What is he here to do?

The eyes of countless doubts flashed, everyone's thoughts were different, and in an instant, the whole room was so quiet that it was scary.

Mu Yunshan's eyes kept flashing. Xia Xiang was just a district party secretary. In front of everyone present, he was not of high level and had little qualifications. His influence was too amazing. When he appeared, he was even more shocking than Chen Feng's appearance.

After a moment of cold break, Su Gongchen laughed and stood up: "Xia Xiang is here, why don't you say it in advance? I can go out to pick you up, haha." While speaking, he left his seat eagerly, came to Xia Xiang a few steps, reached out to shake hands with Xia Xiang, "I haven't seen you for a while, and I have time to sit together. I have something to talk to you."

Everyone opened their mouths in surprise. Su Gongchen, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, stood up to welcome Xia Xiang, the secretary of the Xia District Party Committee. Xia Xiang was too proud. What was he relying on?

Everyone knows that Su Gongchen's character is a kind person on the surface, but in fact he is the most snobbish and often speaks nicely, but if you are useless to him or are in a downturn, he will definitely speak human words and not do personnel affairs.

Take the usual etiquette as an example. Su Gongchen is the person who attaches the most importance to etiquette in the officialdom. One is one, two is two, and it is absolutely unambiguous. If you neglect him a little, he will show dissatisfaction. The Discipline Inspection Commission system has considerable independence and great power. Basically, people in the listed committee are polite to Su Gongchen and are very polite.
