Chapter 816 Confidence, Continue to Strike

Ai Chengwen looked suspicious, but when Xia Xiang looked confident, he smiled: "Xiangguo's meeting will be held for two more days, and many things will happen within two days. But don't blame me for not reminding you. I heard that Tu Yun seemed to be preparing to go back to work in the municipal party committee. She mentioned it to me and I suggested that she rest for a while. Her attitude was very firm, so I would not be able to stop it again."

Tu Yun was anxious? She was not afraid of going to work even with a basin of dirty water. It was probably because her actions in all aspects touched her interests and made her restless. Compared to being exposed by others, facial problems are indeed a small problem.

Ai Chengwen did not stop Ai Chengwen at all? Xia Xiang couldn't say what he felt and was disappointed with Ai Chengwen's approach? One thing, helpless, and one thing. Ai Chengwen wanted to move Tu Yun's attitude away from him at first, but without success, he returned to the previous position of standing by and watching, and wanted to enjoy the fruits of victory. He could not let Ai Chengwen enjoy the fruits of victory without paying at all. Xia Xiang reported to him about the thorough investigation of the accounts today, and finally emphasized: "My principle is that the municipal government cannot bear 30 million bad loans. It must be found out where the funds are going and the municipal government's fair and credible position can better make the Vision Group no longer doubt the credibility of the government."

Ai Chengwen was careless: "I can't interfere directly with government affairs. Please discuss with Xiang Guo what to do. I have no objection."

It would be impossible not to express his opinion. Xia Xiang just wanted to force Ai Chengwen to express his opinion. Otherwise, Ai Chengwen would not give him enough support at the critical moment. He was under tremendous pressure alone, which was not fair: "Secretary Ai, there is another thing that I have to report to you. Mayor Tu personally ordered Li Li, the president of the Dong'an Branch of the China Construction Bank to lend. Li Li did not agree. Mayor Tu put pressure several times and Governor Li had no choice but to issue loans illegally."

Ai Chengwen finally changed his face: "Is this really the case?"

"It's true that President Li personally revealed this to me, and he also retained relevant evidence. The problem now is not whether Mayor Tu has put pressure on President Li to lend illegally, but whether Mayor Tu has gained any benefits from a 30 million illegal loan?" Xia Xiang and Ai Chengwen were in the same car. The two sat in the back seat, without any words or actions to avoid the driver and secretary in the front seat.

The driver concentrated on driving, while the secretary Zhang Yao listened carefully and did not look back.

Xia Xiang did not avoid the intention of the two of them. It was obvious that the matter could be put on the surface, rather than private, and released goodwill, and the suggestion of limited cooperation was also a hint.

Ai Chengwen was silent. He put his hand behind his head and touched his head for a long time: "So, is it necessary to dig deeper?"

"If Secretary Ai supports it, he can just go through the name of investment and kill two birds with one stone. Finally, he found out where the loan is going and can also attract investment. Of course, if you think it is unnecessary, I won't force it. Anyway, at the municipal government meeting, I would not agree to make a flat loan. If I don't agree to flatten it, the investment of Vision Group will not fall into the university town project." Xia Xiang directly stated the interests. Anyway, he was determined to investigate it to the end. Regardless of whether there is Ai Chengwen's support, he will use the leverage of funds to create momentum. Moreover, he has sufficient evidence in his hand, and sooner or later the truth will be revealed.

Ai Chengwen understood what Xia Xiang meant. If he supported Xia Xiang, he would also get the rewards from Xia Xiang in the future. If he did not express his opinion now, he would still stand by and watch. With the evidence and funds in Xia Xiang's hands, he could really leverage all aspects of the benefits, and perhaps he could achieve his goal in the end, even if there were more difficulties and resistances encountered.

But in this way, he has no benefits to gain. Not only did he lose a ally of Xia Xiang, he may also be unable to divide the benefits and political achievements in huge investments. In short, there is reward when there is effort, and there is no effort. I'm sorry, it is even unknown whether the university town project can be resurrected.

Xia Xiang, Xia Xiang, really saw through him. Ai Chengwen looked at Xia Xiang meaningfully for a while, and then took the initiative to stretch out his right hand: "Comrade Xia Xiang has been in Lang City for a long time. I seem to have never expressed my welcome in my personal name. Today I happened to sit together, so I will say a word from my heart - welcome Comrade Xia Xiang to work in Lang City. Your arrival has injected new vitality into Lang City and brought me a new feeling personally."

Ai Chengwen agreed, and Xia Xiang was happy. Ai Chengwen was quite visionary and took a firm step at the critical moment. Having a leader as a backing of the municipal party committee was a prerequisite for him to carry out various tasks drastically.

It can be said that after more than a month after coming to Lang City, Xia Xiang finally had enough trump card to bargain with Ai Chengwen. Ai Chengwen's recognition of him was equivalent to recognizing his status as a force in the Lang City Municipal Party Committee, and he had the confidence and strength to challenge Gu Xiangguo.

It's not easy, it's not easy, and Xia Xiang sighed secretly.

Ai Chengwen admitted Xia Xiang's status as an emerging force, and also sighed in his heart, it was too fast, too fast. As the youngest member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, Xia Xiang was just a newcomer. Not only did he open up the situation in just one month, but he also united several members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and touched Tu Yun's life gate in one fell swoop. It was amazing and the younger generation was terrifying.

While Ai Chengwen sighed, he suddenly remembered Tu Yun’s urgent need to go to work, and said, “Mayor Tu is anxious to go back to work in the municipal party committee, but he still doesn’t want to be too far from the power center… It’s not appropriate not to let her come. After coming, it’s trouble again.”

Xia Xiang laughed and had a deeper understanding of Ai Chengwen's cunning. Ai Chengwen started by not wanting Tu Yun to return to the municipal party committee. Now that he heard that the pit had been dug, he wanted to see Tu Yun jump down with his own eyes, so he followed his words and said: "Secretary Ai doesn't have to make things difficult. Mayor Tu is also devoted to the revolutionary work. We cannot suppress the work of comrades."

All Ai Chengwen wanted was Xia Xiang's words, and he laughed: "It's done, that's it. After Comrade Tu Yun came, I will talk to her and ask her to pay more attention to the rules she should do, so that she can't just talk and sit in other people's seats." Then the topic changed and fell on Lu Hongzhan, "What wonderful scenes will be there for the old road?"

Xia Xiang deliberately kept a secret: "Not to say it now, you can see clearly when the show is on."

Ai Chengwen laughed: "No wonder Xu Feng said that Xia Xiang can be a terrible enemy, but also an interesting friend. I really understood it today."

Back to the municipal party committee, Xia Xiang held another meeting of the municipal government to conduct research on the issue of unknown capital flow and debt rights of the university town project, and emphasized that Vision Group does not accept loans with unknown destinations of 30 million yuan. At the same time, it emphasized that the municipal government should not pay for the bad loans of foreign-enterprise investment companies in Beijing. It should thoroughly investigate the whereabouts of the loans and provide a fair atmosphere for the university town project, indicating the fair position of the municipal government.

As soon as Xia Xiang finished speaking, Shao Ding couldn't wait to speak: "Mayor Gu is not here, and Mayor Tu is also recuperating at home. I'd better wait for them to come back before making a decision. After all, the matter is serious."

It seems that Shao Ding also received instructions to stop Xia Xiang from doing whatever he wants in the city government, because Xia Xiang's series of actions really touched the other party's bottom line, and the other party also realized what Xia Xiang's real sword tip pointed.

It was a good thing that Shao Ding came forward to stop him, at least it made Xia understand. First, Tu Yun was eager to come back to work with shame, but Shao Ding couldn't help but object and proved that his direction of action was correct. Not only did it hurt Gu Xiangguo, but it also made Tu Yun panic.

"Mayor Tu will not say it for now..." Xia Xiang kicked Tu Yun away without giving face, meaning that Tu Yun was not as good as him. Now there is another lifestyle problem that has not been explained yet. She has no say anymore. Then he waved his hand, "Originally, the university town project was under the jurisdiction of Mayor Shao, but it was unfinished, so it was stuffed into my hands. I worked hard and finally found an investment. Mayor Shao not only disliked, but also said he had to wait for Mayor Gu and Mayor Tu. Mayor Gu and Mayor Tu had time, but developers didn't have time!"

Xia Xiang suddenly slapped the table: "If Mayor Shao thinks that the university town project can be dragged down indefinitely, then drag it down. Anyway, with my ability, I can only attract investment from the Vision Group and see hope. If Mayor Shao believes that he has the ability to bring the university town project back to life, you can take it back, so I am too lazy to care about a mess!"

It was equivalent to a slap in the face and hit Shao Ding directly on the face. Shao Ding's face turned red and his neck was thick, and he stood up, and became angry and angry: "Mayor Xia, I can't accept your criticism, it's too arbitrary."

Xia wanted to know that if he wanted to establish his authority within the municipal government team and make his executive vice mayor's reputation and power deserve it, he would dare to suppress the momentum of Shao Ding, who was pretending to be powerful, because although the other deputy mayors also obeyed Gu Xiangguo's words, they were not loyal. Shao Ding was one of Gu Xiangguo's confidants. If Tu Yun was the vanguard of Gu Xiangguo at the Standing Committee, Shao Ding was a nail in Gu Xiangguo's government team, staring at the movements of several deputy mayors.

Shao Ding's arrogance must be completely wiped out and his prestige in front of several deputy mayors. Only in this way can Xia Xiang establish his own authority.

"Arbitrary?" Xia Xiang laughed instead and waved his hand. "Sit down and talk, not because of your voice, not because of your strength, not because of your height. If you have a loud voice, just be justified? If you stand up, you can be high? Besides, I just stated the facts and did not criticize me. What are you anxious about? This kind of impatient style is unbearable at work."

Shao Ding was half-joking and half-serious, and was neither standing nor sitting. Finally, seeing several deputy mayors looking at him gloatingly, she had to sit down again: "My opinion remains unchanged, I must wait until Mayor Gu and Mayor Tu come before reaching a conclusion."

Xia Xianghu stood up: "Okay, the university town project is yours. Since you insist, you can take it back. How long do you like to delay it!"

After saying that, Xia Xiang left and left several deputy mayors, looking at each other, wondering why Mayor Xia was so angry. However, when their eyes fell on Shao Ding, whose face was ashen and whose veins were exposed, they suddenly realized that Mayor Xia wanted to attack Shao Ding's majesty.

Who made Shao Ding the pawn of Gu Xiangguo?

In the afternoon, Tu Yun returned to Lang City from the capital, first had a conversation with Ai Chengwen, and then met Xia Xiang. Tu Yun looked haggard and his momentum was greatly reduced. He didn't say anything to Xia Xiang, but just nodded, touched his head and turned around and left.

In the evening, Xia Xiang received a call from Gu Zeng. The reporter incident was still in a stalemate. Gu Zeng hoped that Xia would come forward to solve it. Xia Xiang neither agreed nor refused, but answered ambiguously: "President Gu, in fact, things should be viewed from two aspects. Being arrested by the reporter is a bad thing, and on the other hand, it may be a good thing. I believe that the matter is being resolved, so don't worry. Reporter Luo can't suffer any losses in the municipal bureau. If you have a good food, drink and treat it, just take a vacation."

Gu Zeng heard Xia Xiang’s hints inside and outside, and smiled: “This is the first time I have seen the Public Security Bureau Director who dares to withhold the reporter of Huaxin News Agency. I will write when I have time. I don’t know where Comrade Lu Hongzhan got the confidence.”

"Secretary Lu has risen to the theoretical level when dealing with journalists." Xia Xiang gently kicked the ball. "I heard that Secretary Lu wants to report his theoretical experience to Director Ma of the Provincial Department. President Gu can pay attention in time, and maybe he can learn a lot of fresh nouns and theories from it."

Gu Zeng understood something and laughed: "Okay, I will definitely study hard."

Xia Xiang laughed, but Gu Zeng took action, and he couldn't help but disturb the senior management.

As the night became darker, Xia Xiang called his parents again. When his parents learned that he was in Lang City, they had nothing to give him advice, just to let him pay attention to his health. It has been more than a month since he came to Lang City, and Xia Xiang really didn't have much contact with his parents.

After reporting his safety to his parents, he felt relieved when he learned that the old man was in good health. He also felt relieved when he heard that Xia An’s work was becoming more and more stable. Xia An was expected to mention the deputy office next year and stay for another two years. When Wang Xiaomin leaves office, he will definitely be released. It is estimated that at least he will be a member of the Standing Committee and deputy county magistrate.

After finishing the phone call with his parents, he then called Niu Yatou.

Xia Xiang actually wanted to take Guai's girl and her son to Lang City. If Lang City did not have Chen, no matter how dangerous the political struggle was, no matter how stressed it was, it would not be a big problem. But because Chen's criminal forces were too arrogant, just in case, they would not consider letting Guai's girl and her son come to Lang City for the time being. Besides, Xia Xiang also considered the issue of his son going to kindergarten, and still thought it was better in Yan City.

The girl from Nai didn't know the dangerous situation Xia Xiang was in Lang City, but just knew a little from Lian Ruohan, and always had concerns in her heart: "Why don't you think of a way to transfer to Beijing? Director Chen's Development and Reform Commission and Minister Yi's Ministry of Commerce can't arrange for you? The place in Lang City is too complicated. If you do it well, you may not be able to make a contribution. If you don't do it well, you will definitely take the blame."

Xia Xiang smiled and when the girl was also concerned about politics, it was all for him. He comforted her: "Where is a talented person who gave up after more than a month of taking office? Besides, it is impossible for a person to always be smooth sailing. If he is too smooth, he will lose his far-sighted gaze."

"Men's minds are always fighting, so they can't do things well? I can't figure it out." Seeing that they couldn't persuade Xia Xiang, the girl didn't force her. She was always more obedient and was tolerant and accommodating to Xia Xiang. "Okay, you just have time to go home a few more times. Your son always talks about you, how old is, and his father is, every day, as if he is so close to you. I don't know why you are so blessed that your son likes you so much."

Not to mention, Xia Xiang is really lucky. Several children are particularly close to him, allowing him to experience his father's happiness and responsibility.

I haven't had much contact with ancient jade recently. I heard that ancient jade went to Myanmar to pick jade some time ago. Before leaving, I went to Xia Xiang by phone, but there was no news later. I guess I was also gambled on jade. Yan Xiao didn't contact him much, and the prospects for the building materials factory are still broad, and the supply of new building materials is in short supply. It can be said that Yan Xiao's profits have risen sharply.

As for the fact that there is no progress between her and Mei Xiaomu, Xia Xiang is too lazy to worry about it.

When I was about to fall asleep, I was suddenly woken up by the phone again. Xia Xiang saw that it was the number of Beijing. It was very strange. He was wondering who called the rude phone call in the middle of the night. After hesitating for a moment, he answered it. A clear female voice came from inside: "Mayor Xia, Brother Xia, didn't disturb you from rest, right? But even if I disturb you, it doesn't matter. Anyway, you were awakened, right? I want to go to Lang City recently. Is Huan welcome? But it's okay if you welcome it or not. Anyway, I'm going to go."

Xia thought about being awakened by her tongue twister-like quick words, and a lively, weird and carefree girl suddenly appeared in her mind - Fu Xianxian.

"Fu Xianxian, why are you?" Xia Xiang's mobile phone changed his number after he arrived in Lang City. Not many people knew about the new number. Fu Xianxian could call his mobile phone directly. He had to admire her ability to inquire, "Do you come to Lang City to travel or do you have any serious business?"

"For me, the main business is sightseeing, and the main business is sightseeing." Fu Xianxian still hasn't changed at all, and he speaks quickly and casually. "I only ask you, are you welcome? Anyway, I don't know anyone in Langshi, so I only look for you, you have to take care of food and accommodation."

If you can control food, you can avoid it... Xia Xiang was about to say something, but Fu Xianxian hung up the phone: "No, I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep, I'm going to be happy."

Xia Xiangran laughed silently. He couldn't call again tomorrow without any serious business. He insisted on calling now, which made him not sleep well.

As soon as he went to work the next day, at Tu Yun's suggestion, he held another government work meeting to study the investment issues of the university town project. After a night of rest, Tu Yun recovered his energy, his face improved a lot, and he was full of momentum. As soon as he started, he firmly opposed Xia Xiang's self-decision to thoroughly investigate the university town project problems.

"Mayor Xia, the University Town Project is an investment brought by Mayor Gu himself. It was handed by Mayor Shao and I. There were countless links and twists and turns in between, involving more than 500 million yuan, of which the loan of 30 million is unknown. It is also normal in the project. Why do you have to pursue it? The municipal government just needs to be put into a balance sheet with the bank. It has to delay 1 billion yuan of investment due to the 30 million yuan loan. Which one is more important? Mayor Xia, don't make a big deal?" Tu Yun was aggressive again, challenging Xia Xiang's authority.
