: Do it intentionally

Li Dingshan was stunned for a moment, then his voice was a little excited: "If you really can do it, I will thank you whatever you say. Xiaoxia, you are really my lucky star!"

Can you be unhappy? Li Dingshan also planned to serve as deputy secretary, and after one term, he would be exiled to serve as mayor and slowly rise up. Unexpectedly, when the times come, there would be hope for the rule of the party at once, which was a complete surprise.

Of course, it was also the result of the competition between various forces in Yan City. Perhaps in the eyes of Ye Shisheng and Fan Ruiheng, the candidates for the deputy secretary of Yan City and the secretary-general of the municipal party committee were much more important than those of Mayor Shuiheng, but for Li Dingshan himself, being able to jump out of Yan City and rule in Shuiheng City was a big step in his political career.

Xia Xiang could understand Li Dingshan's excitement. He always maintained enough respect in front of Li Dingshan. As his leader in the officialdom, Li Dingshan's huge impact on his life will always be remembered in his heart: "Secretary-General, you are so polite. I am very happy to be able to do something for you within your ability."

Li Dingshan said with emotion: "I have known countless people in my life. Xiao Xia, you are the most humble, the most low-key and the most reliable person among the people I know."

Xia Xiang was also relieved by the highest recognition from Li Dingshan. His relationship with Li Dingshan is both a teacher and a friend. Li Dingshan is the most complicated and purest person with all his friends, and he has almost no idea of ​​using the other party.

I hope to maintain a friendship between men in the officialdom where interests are preferred, which is also a spiritual comfort.

Because he went to Beijing the next day, Xia Xiang called Fu Xiaobin and Chen Tianyu before getting off work, and explained some necessary matters, because he might not be able to return to Yan City tomorrow. Then he explained a few words to Jin Hongxin and Chao Weigang before he got home from get off work.

In the evening, he called Chen Feng and Hu Zengzhou again, one by one, one to explain his future to the capital tomorrow, and the other to exchange views on Li Dingshan's journey to Shuiheng City as mayor. Chen Feng no longer cared about the matter in Yan City, so he simply said a few words without further explanation.

Hu Zengzhou expressed his regret for Li Dingshan's departure, and expressed concern for the candidates for the deputy secretary and secretary-general. If Li Dingshan serves as deputy secretary, it would be better to say something. After all, Li Dingshan must have a prospect of cooperation with him because of Xia Xiang. Moreover, even if the new secretary-general after Li Dingshan is someone else's person, there will only be a new face. Now, as soon as Li Dingshan leaves, the municipal party committee will have two new faces, a deputy secretary and a secretary-general of the municipal party committee, and both have their own positions, the situation of the municipal party committee will be even more complicated.

Hu Zengzhou was worried.

Xia Xiang also understood Hu Zengzhou's concerns. He was about to take office as secretary of the municipal party committee, but suddenly there were important personnel changes. If it were not for the deliberate targeting him, he would not believe it. A deputy secretary and a secretary general are all extremely important positions for the secretary. If all of them were replaced by newcomers, it would at least make him feel as if he was in a harsh manner for a long time.

There is a strange deputy secretary on the left, who is nominated by Secretary Cui. There is a strange secretary on the right, who is nominated by Governor Fan. It feels really bad that there are strangers on the left and right.

Hu Zengzhou, while Zhu Xia Xiang was having a good journey, emphasized that after Xia Xiang came back from the capital, he would come to the municipal party committee to interview him as soon as possible.

Xia Xiang agreed immediately. He heard Hu Zengzhou's worries and could also guess where Hu Zengzhou's worries were. Now, with the stability of the situation in the province and the city's personnel adjustments came to an end, a series of influences will be revealed. No matter from any aspect, the Fu family has increased its offensive against Ye Shisheng. At the same time, Fan Ruiheng has also begun to consciously cultivate his own strength, laying a solid foundation for him to take over as the provincial party secretary in two years.

In addition, the large economic circles of Yan Province and Beijing are expected to be officially put on the agenda at the end of this year or early next year. It can be foreseeable that new turmoil may come this summer. In addition to the showdown between him and Yuan Mingliang in the Xiama District, a battle to win over the provincial party secretary will also begin to take place quietly.

There is also a tough battle between Hu Zengzhou and Fu Xianfeng in the Yan Municipal Party Committee. Fu Xianfeng has the momentum to take office with the new mayor. In addition, if the newly appointed deputy secretary also works with him, his voice in the municipal party committee will increase greatly. If he is superb, if he can take the opportunity to win over several heavyweight standing committee members, he will have the prestige that is close to Hu Zengzhou.

If the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee is unclear, Hu Zengzhou has few allies in the Municipal Party Committee, especially no one with weight. The only one, Su Gongchen, is still a double-faced personality.

It was indeed a fog ahead. After thinking about it carefully, Xia Xiang simply stopped thinking about it and handled the matter at hand first.

The next morning, he drove onto the highway alone. After getting on the highway, he first spoke to Lian Ruohan. Lian Ruohan told Xia to go directly to the airport and there was no need to pick her up at home. Xia Xiang agreed.

When the car arrived at the service area in the middle, Xia wanted to refuel, so he received a call from Fu Xianxian.

Fu Xianxian came up and said angrily: "Ha, I really don't want to know what deal there is between Yuan Mingliang and Zhao Xiaofeng, right? I haven't called me for such a long time, you really have personality."

Xia Xiang really doesn’t have the heart to deal with Fu Xiansheng now, so he had to say: “I haven’t been busy lately and don’t have time. I’ll be no longer busy after a few days. I’ll call you when I return to Yan City.”

Unexpectedly, Fu Xianxian was clever and immediately heard what Xia Xiang said: "You are not in Yan City? Are you in the capital?"

"..." After thinking about it, Xia Xiang still said truthfully, "Go to the capital at noon."

"It's great. I happened to be in Beijing. I called you in the afternoon and agreed that I would not arrange anything else. Goodbye." Fu Xianxian hung up the phone without waiting for Xia Xiang to agree.

Xia Xiang shook his head. It was not that he was not concerned about the deal between Yuan Mingliang and Zhao Xiaofeng, but that he had no intention. It was important to send Lian Ruohan away and then meet Mr. Wu.

When we arrived at the airport, Xia Xiang saw Wei Xin first.

Wei Xin's face became much thinner, and her eyes were quite energetic. She wore a windbreaker and long skirt, which was very calm and elegant. When she saw him, she just nodded slightly and smiled reluctantly, but didn't say anything.

Xia Xiang went up and hugged her son first, and then took advantage of the opportunity to hug Lian Ruohan, and asked in her ear: "Did you have something to do with me?"

Lian Ruohan also lowered his voice and responded: "It should be, I didn't ask, and you know that I have never cared about political matters. My position is that I support you no matter what you do."

Xia Xiang patted Lian Ruohan’s back hard: “Come back early, don’t let me think too long.”

Lian Ruohan smiled sweetly: "I know that we are good men who miss us, and we will be at least one month, two months at most, and we will definitely come back before summer. I will also build my water-view villa by the Xiama River."

An hour later, Xia Xiang and Wei Xin stood side by side, watching the plane rising into the air gradually disappearing from the horizon. Both of them looked a little confused and nostalgic.

I don’t know how long it took, but Wei Xin suddenly said: “I found that I am very stubborn and some habits are really hard to change…”

Xia Xiang thought Wei Xin was talking about emotional matters again. When she was hesitating how to answer her words, she pointed to Xia Xiang's car: "I didn't drive, can I ride the car?"

Wei Xin had a car long ago and came to take Lian Ruohan to take away the car. I don’t know if it was done on purpose, but Xia Xiang asked her to get on the car. After getting on the car, Wei Xin then answered another sentence: "Take today's matter as an example, I always feel uneasy if I don’t send the boss to the plane myself, so even though Lian didn’t let me see her off, I still came from Yan City just to have peace of mind."

In life, many people want to seek peace of mind but cannot be obtained. Wei Xin is also a careful woman. Careful care can make people feel that it is not airtight, and Xia Xiang can fully understand what she said just now.

"Wei Xin, you always care too much about your inner feelings. In fact, sometimes you think about it from the perspective of others or think about it with your own eyes. Some people and things are far less beautiful than you imagined, so you have to let go of some burdens and forget some things so that you can live happier." Xia Xiang deliberately enlightened Wei Xin.

Wei Xinda glanced at Xia Xiang with a deep sense and suddenly laughed: "Thank you Secretary Xia for your guidance, I am now at ease."

Xia Xiang saw Wei Xin laughing happily, so she didn't understand why she felt at ease. She couldn't ask more questions, so she had to change the topic: "Where will I send you?"

"No need, my car is parked next to me, I'll drive back to Yan City." Wei Xin opened the car door lightly, got out, then walked a few meters away, drove his own green beetle, and then drove away.

Xia Xiang smiled, but didn't notice that the Beetle next to him turned out to be a license plate in Yan City, and was fooled by Wei Xin. It was so depressed.

After thinking about it for a while, Xia Xiang decided to call the old man. Although the old man did not explicitly ask him to send him off, Lian Ruohan wanted to reply to him, he had to be ignorant and could not deliberately avoid him, so he called the old man.

This is the first time Xia Xiang takes the initiative to call Mr. Wu.

"Hello, old man, I just saw Ruohan away and is still at the airport." Xia Xiang said respectfully.

"I just received a batch of good tea here. I heard you love tea too?" The old man's voice was dull, without ups and downs, without invitation, but it already had the intention of invitation.

Xia Want to hear the string song and know the meaning of elegance: "Love is love, it means limited knowledge and cannot be drunk. If you can give me a few tips, you should make great progress in tea art."

"The villa Ruohan and Lian Xia live in is good, quiet and elegant." Mr. Wu directly pointed out the location.

When Xia wanted to drive to Lian Ruohan's villa, it was only 10 o'clock in the morning. The weather was good today, and the sun was shining. Although it was still cold, there was already a faint breath of spring in the air. After getting off the car, the sun shone on his face and there was a slight warmth.

Mr. Wu stood alone in the yard with his hands behind his back, standing next to the chair where he and Xia Xiang were talking last time, with their backs facing Xia Xiang. Although his background was still tall and he tried to stand straight, his gray hair and slightly bent waist were clearly presented to Xia Xiang, making Xia Xiang truly feel that no matter how powerful or high his status is, a person will never be able to resist the invasion of time and will eventually age. The hero's old age and the beauty's white hair are the most helpless vicissitudes in the world.

Xia Xiang came to a place three meters behind the old man and stood there respectfully: "Old man."

Mr. Wu slowly turned around. Compared to the last time he met, he was much better. He was at peace and was healthy, which may be the reason for his relaxation.

He pointed his hand at the chair: "Sit."

Xia Xiang sat down. Today there was no wind and it was suitable for sunbathing, so he sat on the side of the sun. Mr. Wu also noticed this detail, was slightly stunned, and nodded secretly. He was really a careful young man.

The two sat on the bench, bathed in the sun, and didn't say anything for about a minute. Xia Xiang narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the rising sun, felt the warmth of his body, and his mood relaxed inexplicably.

What you should face will eventually have to face.

He mustered up the courage - it was funny. When he faced Wu Caiyang's aggressive momentum, he was not at all stage frightened, but in front of the gentle old man, he always felt powerless, either fear, or timidity, or a kind of inexplicable panic. Perhaps the panic was not because of the power the old man once had and the huge family empire he established, nor his unfathomable political wisdom, but what he gave Xia Xiang always gave Xia Xiang a sense of vicissitudes of life in his twilight years, and Xia Xiang always couldn't bear to let him feel a little disappointed.

Who would have the heart to refuse the earnest worries of an old man who was about to die? Although Xia Xiang actually knew that Mr. Wu had been in the officialdom throughout his life. Even if he was old, he would not have too many children's love. Whether his vicissitudes or his twilight years were half true or half a performance, he could not be taken seriously.

But he was still involuntarily infected by the old man and always wanted to agree to all his requests.

After all, he was one of the top figures in the past, with a strong aura and almost no resistance.

Xia Xiang took a few deep breaths before he mustered up the courage again and asked: "I always feel that when it comes to the selection of Secretary-General of the Yan Provincial Party Committee, you know in your heart that the Wu family may not be able to take it, but deliberately took a blind eye, which is definitely of great significance."

Mr. Wu also closed his eyes slightly, as if he was enjoying the sunshine, and seemed to be immersed in the rare silence. Xia Xiang asked, and he opened his eyes and looked at Xia Xiang carefully for a few seconds. It seemed that he had known Xia Xiang. He was silent for about half a minute before laughing: "Cai Jiang said, you are very useful, extremely smart, and have a different perspective on the problem. Cai Yang said, you are stubborn, self-righteous, and have a low eye. Ruohan said, you are delicate, considerate and able to rely on others. I think the three of them are wrong..."

It seems that the old man is going to give him a conclusion. Xia Xiang smiled and listened quietly.

"I was 30 years old at your age... I was in the main hall." The old man did not directly tell the conclusion, but instead talked about something else.

Xia Xiang was shocked. The old man became a main department at the age of 30, which was not simple. When the old man was 30, the domestic system was not sound. Not to mention the main department, it was possible that even the deputy provincial government could be, so I felt relieved.

"I hit a fairly reasonable family force with bare hands, but when I face you, I suddenly felt that when I was as big as you, I was actually not as good as you. If I had the same vision as you, I should have hope of becoming the number one person in China. However, things have passed and nothing is useful! My opinion of you is that you have a long-term vision, a firm position, and a bright future."

The old man's evaluation is very high, maybe it's because he is sincere, or maybe it's because he deliberately raised him up and made him look glamorous. Xia Xiang is not a person who easily loses his composure. He smiled humbly: "You are too rewarding. I know my weight. In front of you, my little achievements are not worth mentioning at all."

The old man waved his hand: "The past cannot be pursued. It is meaningless to tell you about the past, but the times are indeed different. Nowadays are harder than ours and harder to climb up. Although you can achieve today's achievements, you must continue to maintain a modest and cautious style, but you don't have to underestimate yourself, because you have a very accurate perspective on the issue. On the issue of Secretary-General of the Yan Provincial Party Committee, I just ignore it because I just want to see how much tolerance Cai Yang will have after encountering the first twists and turns after he returned to Beijing!"

When Xia Xiang met with Mei Shengping and Qiu Xufeng last time, after learning that the three old men of Qiu, Mei and Fu were dispatched at the same time, Mr. Wu still held his troops without any intention of taking action. In the end, not only did he not take action, but after Wu Caiyang was defeated, he still had no expression. Xia Xiang had guessed something in his heart.

Mr. Wu did it intentionally!

Thinking of the holidays between Wu Caiyang and the old man for more than ten years, and the difference between Wu Caiyang and his father in terms of methods of acting and behavior, the old man's move has a profound meaning - he was definitely intentionally watching coldly, just to see if Wu Caiyang can wake up after hitting a wall.

Mr. Wu's eyes were like a rookie. If he had no extraordinary eyes and no far-sighted strategy, he would not have won the Wu family's great power, and the Wu family was firmly ranked first among the four major families. Although he has retreated now, although Wu Caijiang is far away from the political center and is in a peaceful province, and although the power of the Wu family has basically been handed over to Wu Caiyang's hands, in fact, Mr. Wu still has a very slight remark on Wu Caiyang's behavior. He did not say it, but he must have a lot of opinions in his heart, but it is not easy to show it too much, so as not to let others see the discord within the Wu family. Therefore, he helped Wu Caiyang on the surface at the beginning of the matter, but when the matter was at a critical moment, he was out of the matter and watched it.
