Chapter 868: Low-key, ready to fight

If you think about it carefully, it is almost the case.

Thinking of Lao Gu's explanation, I'm afraid that the proportion of Lao Gu's direct lineage will increase again after this military transformation. Therefore, Lao Gu supported him so confidently to continue to work vigorously in Lang City, and he might also use this to demonstrate to some people.

Political affairs always affect the whole body. Xia Xiangxiao, he can't keep a low profile now. If the cold-quality side's matter really triggers, it will definitely be a big earthquake in the officialdom of Langshi!

Not only will it cause a headache for the provincial party committee, it will also alarm the eyes of the central high-level officials and may even trigger disputes among the central high-level officials. Since Lao Gu has made him continue to be high-profile, it can be seen that Lao Gu is still very confident in controlling the situation.

Xia Xiang was very pleased.

The people around him come and go, and the relationships that can be used to change again and again, the idle days of the past.

Xia Xiang didn't say anything. He had feelings for ancient jade, but it was not a deep love. He had dependence, nor was he lingering and passionate. He did this to ancient jade, and he did this to him.

Guyu is simple and cute, and she can't hold too much sadness in her heart. Simplicity is her advantage and her shortcomings, but Xia Xiang doesn't selfishly think that the more you are attached to him, the better. Guyu also said that if one day she gets tired, she will fly away alone.

Gu Yu was not tired of him, maybe she was not tired of anything. She just wanted to live quietly alone, and Xia Xiang would not find any reason to leave her, and would give her the freedom and space to fly high.

After Guyu left, news from Wei Xin was transmitted from the United States in time. The news was not good news. Wei Xin's condition was still not confirmed, but the doctor said it was an extremely rare disease. It seemed that some mechanism of the brain lost its vitality and may slowly shrink, or there might be nothing wrong, because there was no precedent and the doctor was not sure.

The worst result is that Wei Xin may fall into a dream during a certain sleep and never wake up again because his brain cannot tell whether it is a dream or reality.

But there is another possibility, that is, Wei Xin has strong self-control ability, and will never attack, and he will live safely until his old age. The doctor's words are no different from those who say nothing, which makes Xia Xiang always have a bomb hanging in his heart.

His mood cannot be relaxed.

Wei Xin is the softest part of his heart, and it hurts as soon as he touches it. Xia Xiang is difficult to let go of the first time and it is difficult to relieve the depression in his chest.

He and Wei Xin had a long phone call.

Wei Xin did not cry or feel depressed, and her emotions were unexpectedly dull. She just told Xia Xiang that even if she only had one day to live, she would be content as long as she could be with him.

Xia Xiang held the phone from Chongyang in the deep night, and tears quietly slid down.

...

Before the paint factory started construction, many disputes arose on site selection. First, the person who had promised to provide the land suddenly repented and said that he had transferred the land to someone else. He would rather pay a large amount of liquidated damages than provide the factory site again.

At the same time, the University Town Project has had many conflicts and conflicts between workers and local villagers, and even injured people, and the University Town Project has also fallen into a stagnation.

Although the opponent's counterattack was simple and crude, it did hit the weakness of the two major projects. In history, conflicts with the local area were inevitable when foreign investment projects were implemented. Local villagers are most likely to be motivated to cause trouble, which makes people unable to guard against, and it is difficult to find the mastermind behind the scenes.

However, Xia Xiang has rich experience in similar incidents. He had already thought of a solution to deal with it and was preparing to let Xiao Wu start to implement it. Unexpectedly, Wu Ruotian suddenly came to Lang City in person.

Wu Ruotian came to Lang City and settled in a hotel before calling Xia Xiang to inform him, saying that he wanted to see him. Xia Xiang was slightly surprised and did not understand why the Wu family attached so much importance to a paint factory that could not create much economic value.

Although the paint factory has an investment of 200 million yuan, it is not as mobilized to the Wu family. Although Wu Ruotian is not of high level, he is the only man in the third generation of the Wu family. He came to Lang City in person, which represents not himself or Wu Caihe, but Wu Caiyang's recognition.

Wu Ruotian has not changed much, his face is fair and looks very young and refreshing. He can tell at a glance that he is a scheming person, so he can maintain his youthful state.

People with deep scheming often have a chaotic face and are prone to fading before they grow old. Wu Ruotian's career is not smooth, and it is also beneficial.

In the private room, Wu Ruotian smiled slightly and stood with his legs, with a very friendly posture, just waiting for Xia Xiang to take the initiative to reach out.

Xia wanted to reach out and shake hands with Wu Ruotian, and thought that he would ask for something when he was polite to others. Although Wu Ruotian's identity does not necessarily have to be arrogant or very lowly, he is so humble, if someone had not specifically explained it, he would have his own sense of responsibility and would have something to ask for.

After the chirping, each of them sat down, and Wu Ruotian smiled calmly: "Mayor Xia, I still have to thank you for the paint factory. I came here this time to express my gratitude to you in person."

Xia Xiang waved his hand: "Director Wu is so polite. It is beneficial to Lang City's economic development. Of course, I need to strongly support it."

Wu Ruotian thought that there were more investments that were conducive to economic construction, but many of them were unable to be implemented due to political reasons. Although he had no experience in governing locally, he also knew the tricks in local areas. Although everything is centered on economic construction, there are still a large number of human projects and projects in actual operations. Under the guidance of political factors, there are many unreasonable investments and duplicate construction.

What's more, the paint factory project itself also has extremely important political significance!

Wu Ruotian first conveyed the greetings of Mr. Wu and Wu Caihe to Xia Xiang. After a change of topic, he said: "Although the paint factory project cannot make a lot of money, I also hope to make money. Don't lose money, otherwise I can't explain it. But in terms of business, I don't know much about it. I hope Mayor Xia can help you find a suitable candidate to manage the paint factory."

Xia Xiang did not answer, but was silent.

Xia Yao understood Wu Ruotian's thoughts. Wu Ruotian wanted to use this matter to show his ability and prove to the family that he has the ability to do business, or has other ideas. However, the above is not the focus of Xia Yao's consideration. Xia Yao's starting point is that if he helped the Wu family arrange management personnel after he came forward to implement the paint factory project for the Wu family, and every move fell into the eyes of those who were interested, it would become a manifestation of his close relationship with the Wu family.

It even caused some key figures to misunderstand, thinking that he and the Wu family were approaching quickly, and perhaps they would suspect that his political stance had changed!

Lang City is too close to the capital, especially since his current actions must be closely followed, and he must be cautious and cautious. Besides, Lao Gu also said that some senior central officials were very dissatisfied with him. He has now become a controversial figure. If he moves closer to the Wu family, the controversy will be even greater.

Wu Ruotian saw Xia Xiang's hesitation, and he smiled with a determined expression: "It is normal for some controversy among the top leaders, and there are always arguments. Grandpa said, you don't have to worry too much about some people's dissatisfaction with you. It is a good thing for someone to be dissatisfied with you, proving that you have the ability to touch their interests, so that they will value you and criticize you. Grandpa also said, don't be afraid, with the Wu family as the backstage, at least you can guarantee that you can go to the provincial and ministerial level..."

If Wu Ruotian moved with emotion, Xia Xiang might be slightly moved, but Wu Ruotian came up and promised it for profit, which made him feel unhappy. He is not a person who seeks profit, otherwise he would not stick to principles and not waver. Wu Ruotian didn't blame him for his career, and he didn't blame others for his own words or things. He was all because he was not good at grasping his own position.

Although Wu Ruotian did not have the arrogance and momentum that the children of a large family were used to, he still involuntarily showed a superior attitude as he spoke. He did not do as much as Qiu Xufeng and Mei Shengping in restraint.

Xia Xiang straightened his body and waved his hand lightly: "I am not convenient for arranging the problem of the paint factory manager, otherwise it will seem that I have intervened too much. Besides, I have no experience in how to manage and other issues, so I won't express my opinions. As for the old man, I would like to thank him for his teachings for me..."

Wu Ruotian's face changed drastically.

Xia Xiang told him clearly that not only completely rejected his kindness, but also did not take the Wu family's kindness expression seriously, which was equivalent to not giving him any face.

Wu Ruotian was a little embarrassed, so he put the chopsticks in his hand: "Mayor Xia, let alone the close relationship between you and the Wu family, even if the Wu family takes good care of you, it would be fine if you don't know how to repay your kindness, but you rejected the Wu family's kindness. Are you a little too arrogant?"

Xia Xiang laughed: "Director Wu, I am promoting the launch of the paint factory in Lang City, not because the paint factory is the Wu family, nor because the paint factory is the project you dominate, but because the paint factory is conducive to the healthy development of Lang City's economy. My starting point is to stand at the foot of Lang City, and there are no other concerns. Please understand this."

Wu Ruotian was stunned for a while before sighing helplessly: "It seems that we are in a bad agreement today?"

Xia Xiang didn't accept his words, but just smiled slightly, but felt sorry for the Wu family. Mr. Wu was extremely smart all his life, had a very high view of the overall situation, and had no omissions in his life. Although Wu Caiyang was a little stubborn, he was also very political, otherwise he would not have broken through the thorns in his official career. With his own strength, he reached a high position at the provincial and ministerial level. Among the second generation of the Wu family, although Wu Caihe was not talented, there was another Wu Caijiang who was also a provincial member, but there was no talent among the three generations!

Unfortunately, Wu Ruotian was too incompetent. The gentleman's greed was killed for five generations. The Wu family passed down for only three generations and was unable to follow up. After thinking about it carefully, there was only one Mei Xiaolin among the three generations of the Mei family. Fortunately, there was one Qiu Xufeng among the three generations of the Qiu family. Among the three generations of the Fu family, although Fu Xianfeng was not very good, at least he had political skills and had a thick face and a dark heart. Maybe he could achieve something in the future.

On the contrary, the Wu family, the most powerful of the four families, has no successor after three generations, which has to be said to be a very embarrassing but serious problem that must be faced!

As soon as Xia Xiang figured it out, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind. He remembered the care and earnest advice of Mr. Wu, and also the accidental attack on Langshi, insisted on investing in a paint factory in Langshi, and used the paint factory to re-establish the close relationship between him and the Wu family. Wu Ruotian personally took action to convince him. All the signs showed that the Wu family's intention was very interesting.

Among the three generations of the Wu family, only one Lian Ruohan has achieved great success in business. As Lian Ruohan's favorite person - actually equivalent to the son-in-law who cannot be disclosed by the Wu family - could the Wu family have reached an agreement behind the scenes and have the idea of ​​cultivating him to become a successor?

Seeing Wu Ruotian's face was angry and wanted to ask him clearly, Xia Xiang shook his head. Wu Ruotian had been polishing in the officialdom for so long, but he still couldn't achieve restraint and implicitness. His future career can basically be concluded that he would not go too long.

He waved his hand: "Thank you, Director Wu, for treating me to dinner. I will definitely invite you back next time."

Wu Ruotian understood something and wanted to say something else. After thinking about it, he still couldn't say it.

What Xia Xiang didn't expect was that three days later, when he went to the university town project to resolve the dispute on the construction site, there was another news from somewhere, saying that he might be transferred to the Beijing Ministry to appoint the director, which was equivalent to a step further.

Unlike the last time that the news came suddenly and was very popular, and it was also very popular. It was said that after Xia Xiang came to Lang City, he did a very good job and was highly appreciated by his superiors. It happened that a ministry and commission in Beijing had a vacant position as a director. Some people in Beijing took advantage of Xia Xiang's ability and wanted to transfer him to Beijing.

It is rumored that the ministry that Xia wanted to go to was an unimportant ministry, and the rumored director was also a very leisurely department director, which is equivalent to being marginalized, that is, the rise is rising openly and the decline is falling secretly.

No matter where the rumors come from or who intentionally spread them, Xia Xiang knew one thing in his heart, which was to bring negative effects on him and create the illusion that he would be moved away at any time.

After all, Ma Xiao took control of the Organization Department. In the past, Mei Shengping could calm the news with just one phone call. Now the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department does not speak out, neither refuting nor clarifying the facts. As a result, it makes people who don’t know the truth more suspicious. Is it true that Xia wants to be transferred?

Xia Xiang was on the construction site, while asking someone to coordinate disputes first, while directly calling Song Chaodu.

"The rumor stops at the wise." Although Song Chaodu's current situation in the provincial party committee is better than expected, he still feels restrained in personnel matters, so he can only comfort Xia Xiang, "There is no suggestion in the province to mobilize you. Besides, even if someone wants to move you, you have to pass my level first, so you can work with peace of mind. Some people in the province want to use the opportunity to leverage you to test me. If you have the opportunity, I will also give them a good surprise."

After hearing this, Song Chaodu felt a little angry.

Song Chaodu's anger came from two aspects. One is that he was obviously under pressure from the joint efforts of Fan Ruiheng and Ma Xiao in the province, and it was almost difficult to intervene in personnel matters. Mei Shengping was still neutral on the surface, but in fact he was still leaning towards Fan Ruiheng's position, which made him very troubled. The other is that someone deliberately made a sound twice to move Xia Xiang away. Xia Xiang is his direct descendant, so who doesn't know?

It is no different from slapping him in the face. It’s not the same as slapping him in person once, but there are two more times. He understood that some people don’t want to calm down, and probably really want to kick Xia Xiang away from Langshi. At the same time, it is also to further attack his prestige!

Song Chaodu decided to adopt a countermeasure strategy.

Xia Xiang also decided to start fighting back.

Political affairs are originally conflicts of interest, especially at this stage. On the surface, it seems that he and Gu Xiangguo have temporarily reached a balance, but in fact, the contradictions have temporarily accumulated and will erupt while waiting for a critical point.

After all, there are deep resentment between him and Gu Xiangguo and Lu Hongzhan, and there are too many conflicts of interest. Whether it is from top to bottom or in differences in political concepts, there is basically no possibility of reconciliation.

Li Fei was secretly investigating the cold-stained party case. Gu Xiangguo would not be unclear, and Lu Hongzhan knew it very well. The two of them seemed to have no counterattack on the surface, but they were actually preparing for war in secret and regaining their positions bit by bit. Of course, there are also Chen and Sato, who are also waiting for an opportunity to take action.

Speaking of which, although Xia Xiang has allies in Lang City, he is almost arguing that he has made enemies from all sides. He must take the first step so that he will not be found by his opponents who have been keeping a close eye on him.

The dispute over the university town project was not difficult to deal with. Xia Xiang quickly satisfied both parties. Then it was just after get off work, so he did not return to the municipal party committee and went home directly. When he got downstairs, he accidentally found someone.
