Chapter 898 Ideas, Human Relations

Xia Xiang put his hand on the teacup and kept turning the teacup, but his eyes fell on a painting behind Wu Caiyang.

It is a landscape painting, which depicts an old man fishing alone in the wind and snow, a lonely boat on a cold river in a rarely visited mountain. The painting is very charming, with blurry mountains, only the image of the old man is very clear, and the snowflakes flying all over the sky set off a kind of lonely, noble, and the world is turbid and I am awake alone.

The signature is also a poem written by Liu Zongyuan, "River Snow": Birds fly in thousands of mountains, and people die in thousands of paths. The old man in a boat, the straw hat, fishes alone in the snow in the cold river.

"This picture of fishing alone in the snow and ice is good, and the artistic conception is vast. However, the old man braved the cold weather and was alone in the deep mountains and forests, in the wind and snow. He was not just for fishing, but waiting for opportunities. What he was fishing was in the mood, and it could even be said to be seeking fame." Xia Xiang did not answer Wu Caiyang's question positively, but talked about the painting on the wall.

Wu Caiyang is obviously a regular visitor. He knew what painting was behind him without looking back. He smiled: "Liu Zongyuan was exiled to Yongzhou, and he was naturally not in a good mood. He wrote this song "Jiangxue", which was actually a literati who believed he had character and integrity, but in the final analysis it was just one sentence: learn literature and martial arts and sell it to the imperial family. Then again, Yongzhou is located in Hunan now, with a subtropical monsoon climate, and there will be no such heavy wind and snow in the mountains. It is said that Liu Zongyuan's artistic fiction is good, but it also shows that he was not politically sensitive enough and was demoted because he did not stand well and no one said good things for him."

In terms of ancient times, it is still a matter of standing in line. Xia Xiang laughed: "Sometimes it is windy and sometimes it snows, but usually it is wind and rain. The wind and snow seem to be two forces, but you are me and I are inseparable."

Wu Caiyang was stunned, then shook his head and smiled: "The words make some sense, but it's still a quibble. Wind is wind and snow is snow. Even if the wind and snow are mixed, the wind has the power of wind. How can it be confused? If you are wind and snow, it's snow and snow. How can it be wind and snow?" He raised his chopsticks and signaled Xia Xiang to eat vegetables, "I heard that you and the Fu family are getting closer again?"

"It's not true, it's just that there is a little common language in one thing. In fact, the previous contradictions have not been eliminated." Xia Xiang tasted a bite of the meal, which was not very good to his taste, neither salty nor light, and tasteless. The method was a bit too sculpted and lost the proper taste.

"You do a beautiful job in painting in the United States and have a high wrist." Wu Caiyang praised Xia Xiang, which was indeed his true words. "All factions are working hard to cultivate successors. The provincial and ministerial teams have just been adjusted, and now they are all looking at the younger generation of department-level cadres. You are the most dazzling one among the younger generation of department-level cadres. The Prime Minister appreciates you very much, especially with your work in Lang City. But the old man is still better and moves you to Tianze City in advance, opening the door to the full-time department-level... "

Wu Caiyang's rare smile naturally appeared. From his smiles several times, he could see that his attitude towards Xia Xiang had greatly improved.

The trends of the senior management that Wu Caiyang just revealed touched Xia Xiang a lot.

Xia thought clearly that the purpose of Wu Caiyang meeting him today was to test his tone and let him make a clear statement, select a good team between the civilian group and the family forces, or who is more inclined between the Prime Minister and the Wu family?

The family forces are four major families represented by the Wu family. Although there are competition, conflicts and contradictions between the four families, in the confrontation with the civilian and group groups, the four families have common interests. To make things bigger, at the top, the factional division is not a simple division of teams, but a division of governance concepts and an ideological division.

In China, the dispute over governance philosophy between the left and the right has never stopped. The left prefers fairness and justice, emphasizing the rational allocation of social resources. The right focuses on efficiency and freedom, emphasizing the ability of individuals and survival of the fittest. It cannot be said which faction is more perfect, but it can only be said that each has its own advantages and disadvantages and has its own strengths. However, people who often appear extreme left and extreme right are prone to left conservatism and right radicalism.

In fact, the mainstream economists in China are currently influenced by the rightist thoughts.

The leftist developed to the extreme, and overemphasizing institutional fairness to distribute social resources equally is also a kind of pseudo-justice, because everyone's abilities and personalities are different. Suppressing individual personalities and using power to implement justice is the communist during the big pot.

The right-wing development has reached an extreme, overemphasizing freedom and personal abilities, and ignoring the social responsibilities that everyone should bear, becomes false freedom. Because excessive freedom will hinder the freedom of others. Just like the United States overthrows the regimes of other countries by force on the grounds of promoting so-called democracy, it is an extreme false freedom and hypocritical justice.

The extreme right system is usually manifested as powerful capitalism and oligarchy. The current situation in China is not very obvious. In a few years, Xia Xiang is very clear that domestic powerful capitalism will begin to rise, and relevant experts directly pointed out that the country has initially entered the era of powerful capitalism.

After all, the four major families are the beginning of powerful capitalism. It is no exaggeration to say that even the country is currently in a period of vigorous growth of powerful capitalism, such as the gradually forming a second-generation official and the second-generation rich. For example, the children of officials who are increasingly criticized are always officials, and the children of poor people are always poor people's institutional shortcomings. In the long run, it will eventually lead to class opposition.

Once a society forms a class and forms a hostile camp, it is not far from collapse.

Xia Xiang was born in a grassroots and knew that ordinary people wanted to climb to a high position with their own efforts, which was undoubtedly a dream. Without a backer or backer, no one appreciated him. In the domestic officialdom, no matter how capable he was, he would eventually make wedding clothes for others. From a fair starting point, his political stance was actually more inclined toward the civilians.

But family forces are not without advantages, and now they have grown to a point that affects the political situation. This only means that there is a soil for its growth in the country, and it can only cooperate and cannot be suppressed, because it has grown into a giant that no one can suppress.

Although Xia Xiang has no clear context in his heart, he has some of his own political philosophy. I am afraid that he is the only one who can maintain good relations with civilian forces and family forces at the same time. Since he has such unique conditions, he has many advantages and great dedication to do his best. He hopes that in his future political path, he can become a fulcrum between the four major families in the past and the civilian forces headed by the Prime Minister.

Today's meeting with Wu Caiyang was a landscape painting, and finally it had to be on the sidelines of real action. Xia Xiang knew that he had to give Wu Caiyang a definite answer, otherwise he might face a political stumble.

Because his meetings with the three major families today, even the interviews with Wu Caiyang tonight, would be heard by the Prime Minister. In addition, his transfer was done by the Wu family, he was unsure whether the Prime Minister's views on him changed drastically.

One thing that annoyed him was that he was just sleeping in the afternoon and didn't have time to talk to Lao Gu to find out about the Prime Minister's words.

However, Xia Xiang made up his mind in an instant. He was not a person who was swaying and undecided. Regardless of whether the Prime Minister had any opinions about him, he must now get closer to the Wu family because the time is ripe.

"I want to thank the old man in person when I have time, and thank him for his care for me all the time. He is old, and I want to visit him more in the future..." Xia Xiang gave the answer Wu Caiyang wanted.

Wu Caiyang smiled with satisfaction: "The old man has long wanted you to visit your home, but the conditions have always been not very mature. Now I think the time is right. During the National Day, I will arrange a family dinner. Don't go back to Yan City, just celebrate the festival in the capital."

Xia Xiang nodded and replied: "Okay, I have to trouble Minister Wu."

"Haha." Wu Caiyang smiled happily, "Caijiang is going to return to Beijing, and Ruotian, they all want to talk to you, and have a lively National Day this year."

If you want to take it, you must give it first. Xia Xiang is not surrendering to the family forces, but just pushing you along with the situation.

Saying goodbye to Wu Caiyang, Xia Xiang saw that it was already past 10 o'clock in the evening. After thinking about it, he did not call Lao Gu again.

At night, the family lived in a luxurious suite in the hotel. It was the first time Xia Dong spent the night in the hotel. He ran around excitedly and refused to sleep, which made the reliving of the dream between Xia Xiang and the girl in Nai had to postpone it until after midnight.

With a large and comfortable bed, a strange environment, and without the fatigue of housework, Cao Shuyan completely relaxed and devoted himself. After the child reaches the age of three, women will gradually mature and develop a charm. At the same time, the needs in some aspects will be stronger. As a veteran, Xia Xiang is naturally familiar with the maturity period of women's physiology and psychology, so he does his best.

The next morning, Xia Xiang had just gotten up, but unexpectedly received a call from Ai Chengwen.

"Mayor Xia, I heard that you are in Beijing and have the opportunity to meet and get together, how about you?" Ai Chengwen spoke very politely.

"..." Xia Xiang was a little uncomfortable with him becoming a popular guy. Too many social engagements were also helpless, so he had to say, "My family has come to the capital and I want to accompany them. I'm sorry Secretary Ai, wait until I have time left, and I'll ask you again."

Ai Chengwen was not angry either and laughed: "It's important to accompany his family, it doesn't matter." Then he revealed a little news to Xia Xiang, "I heard that the provincial party committee intends to arrange for An Xingyi, executive vice mayor of Tianze City, to be the mayor of An Xingyi. An Xingyi and Governor Song have a good relationship. Does Mayor Xia have anything to say about An Xingyi's character?"

It turned out that Ai Chengwen's real purpose was to call this, and Xia Xiang laughed: "I don't have much contact with Mayor An. I looked back and saw Governor Song and asked from the side."

Ai Chengwen was to understand An Xingyi's behavior in advance, and on the other hand, he was to prepare in advance and set the tone of building a team with An Xingyi.

Song Chaodu arranged his own people to Lang City, and also began to cultivate his own power. Since an executive vice mayor was transferred from Tianze City, a vacancies for a standing member will inevitably be vacant. If the executive vice mayor is promoted locally, it will basically be the deputy mayor of the Standing Committee. As a result, Tianze City will have a vacant deputy mayor of the Standing Committee.

The opportunity came. Xia Xiang talked to Ai Chengwen and immediately called Song Chaodu.

Unexpectedly, it was Song Yifan when the phone was connected. When Song Yifan heard that it was Xia Xiang, he said unhappily: "Brother Xia, you don't go back to Yan City to see me during the holidays, so I'm angry."

Xia Xiang actually didn't forget Song Yifan. It was just that there were too many things in the capital and the water was too deep. In order to avoid being flooded, he had to socialize and had to coax Song Yifan a few words. Fortunately, Xia Xiang had superb skills in coaxing girls, and Song Yifan was happy again after a few words.

"Dad went to socialize and was picked up early in the morning. It was so boring to leave me alone at home." Although she was happy, she was still a little depressed. "Why would I go to the capital to find me? I just learned how to drive and I happened to practice my skills."

Xia Xiang was startled and persuaded Song Yifan to give up his thoughts. After hanging up the phone, he thought about it and gave up his idea of ​​calling Song Chaodu's mobile phone. There is no need to hurry up. After the province settled, I believe Song Chaodu would also take the initiative to notify him. Now it is just a rumor, not the final result.

There are often many variables in political matters.

...

As Xia Xiang expected, just after 8 o'clock, Qiu Xufeng called and invited Xia Xiang to sit at home. Xia Xiang thought about it and agreed. He had known Qiu Xufeng for several years and had known each other for many years. Moreover, he now had the idea of ​​getting closer to the four major families, so he took Cao Shuqian and his son to travel.

Cao Shugui and Xia Xiang have been getting married for a long time, and Xia Xiang has never taken her to meet outsiders. The main reason is that Xia Xiang has been in Yan City before. For her, Yan City, she knows almost all the people in all aspects.

When she heard that she was going to visit the Qiu family today, she was surprised and happy, so she dressed up carefully.

Cao Shuyan was originally very beautiful, but now he has more mature charm and no longer pure, but his clean beauty and delicate face are still an absolute beauty. Xia Xiang saw her dress up a little and shine, and couldn't help but praise: "After all, it's my wife, I can take it."

Cao Shuyan was extremely shy. Before he could speak, Xia Dong squeezed between the two. He wore a suit and tied. He also had a suit and tie at a young age. He looked both formal and fun. He raised his face and asked, "Dad, can I show off my hands?"

"Yes!" Xia thought of picking up her son, "In my father's mind, the most handsome one is the son."

"Better than mom?"

"Such handsome, much more handsome."

Cao Shuyan gave Xia a blank look: "Now I start buying my son. Have you forgotten that I have brought him up with great difficulty?"

Xia Xiang laughed.

Xiao Wu was driving, Feng Meimei was sitting in the passenger seat, and Xia Xiang's family was sitting behind the car. Feng Meimei came to the capital to accompany Xiao Wu - originally Xia wanted Xiao Wu to return to Yan City, but Xiao Wu refused to say anything. The troubles about Jiangshan Real Estate were also handed over to Zhu Hu for treatment. He is now Xia Xiang's full-time driver and bodyguard.

On the way, I received another call from Fu Xianfeng.

Xia Xiang was a little surprised that it was not Fu Xianxian who called him, but Fu Xianfeng came forward in person. Fu Xianfeng also invited him to sit in the Fu family, and emphasized that Mr. Fu would like to thank him in person. He also said that Fu Xianxian went to Quanjude to buy him roast duck...

Who said Fu Xianxian is a heartless little witch? It has been more than two years since she ate his roast duck when she first met her. She still remembers it in her heart, which made Xia Xiang sigh.

Xia Xiangxiang refused Fu Xianfeng's invitation, but felt it was not appropriate. The Fu family's reasons were very legitimate and humane. If he didn't go, it would be a big deal, and the other would definitely hurt Fu Xiansheng's heart.

I had to hesitate for a moment: "I can't leave at noon, so I have to be with Xufeng, so I can only be at night."

Fu Xianfeng agreed happily: "Okay, I'll wait for the big trip tonight. By the way, bring my family with me."

Taking the family to a banquet is unusual. There is nothing to do when you go to the Qiu family, but it seems a bit too enthusiastic when you go to the Fu family. But then you think about it, Xia Xiang decided to take the family with you and also to see it for Fu family, so that they can not suspect what happened between him and Fu Xianxian.

When she arrived at the Qiu family, she came out to greet Qiu Xudie. Qiu Xudie was a little fat. When she saw Xia Xiang, she would first say hello to Xia Xiang - hugged Xia Xiang. Then she saw Cao Shugui and Xia Dong behind her. She didn't think there was anything wrong with her actions just now. She grabbed Cao Shugui's hand and said, "Tsk tsk, you are such a great beauty. No wonder Xia Xiang was not dazzled at all when she saw a beautiful woman outside. It turned out that you had to keep his eyes tricked."

Cao Shuyan rarely appears in public in recent years because of her birth to Xia Dong. But you should know that she was born in a real family of officials and was much better than Xia Xiang. Although she is not as good as Qiu Xudie, she is also the mayor's daughter. She is now the mayor's daughter and the mayor's wife - the mayor's wife who is less than 30 years old, and she is as beautiful as a flower, and there are not many people in the country.

So, she is also very good at speaking: "My sister is also very beautiful, her skin is so good, oh, her eyelashes are long and curly, so beautiful."

Men can never understand the topics between women. Xia Xiang doesn't think there is anything in his ears, but Qiu Xudie was overjoyed and immediately had a common language with Cao Shuyan. The two walked together and chattered non-stop.

Xia Xiang shook his head and smiled, and held hands with his son. The father and son took square steps. As soon as they reached the door, they saw that the door opened and several people came out. One person was Qiu Xufeng and the other person behind was Mei Xiaomu!

How could Mei Xiaomu be in the Qiu family? If Mei Xiaomu only surprised Xia Xiang slightly, the person who flashed from behind Mei Xiaomu almost made him scream - Mei Xiaolin!
