Chapter 900 Interaction, Abnormal
Chapter 900 Interaction, abnormal
Within a day, he encountered two things that surprised him one after another. Xia Xiang knew that a major adjustment of provincial and ministerial cadres not only changed the rankings of the four major families again, but also added new interactions and variables between the four major families.
But when I thought about it, in fact, the Mei family and the Qiu family were relatively closer. The main reason was that the rapid approach between the Fu family and the Wu family was a bit unexpected to Xia Xiang.
In Xia Xiang's opinion, the Wu family is dominant and has little contact with the other three companies, which is quite superior. Moreover, they used to cooperate with the Fu family twice, and they both set up the Fu family together. It would be strange if the Fu family did not hold a grudge. But now Wu Caihe and Wu Ruotian and his son appeared in the Fu family at the same time, and they also came out to greet him with Fu Xianfeng. The significance revealed is extraordinary, which shows that the relationship between the Wu family and the Fu family now has a solid foundation for cooperation.
Fu Xianfeng and Xia Xiang shook hands, but without introducing Wu Caihe, they just staggered the steps, making Wu Ruotian and Xia Xiang say hello. When he saw Xia Xiang coming alone, he did not bring his family, a trace of complex emotions appeared in his eyes.
Xia Xiang finally decided not to take Cao Shuyan and Xia Dong, out of caution and optimism. There was not much common language between him and the Fu family, so there was no need to get too close at once, so it would be better to have more buffers.
Xia wanted to hold Wu Caihe's hand stretched over, but did not call him the position: "Hello Uncle Wu."
Wu Caihe looked at Xia Xiang for a few times, with a kind look on his face: "Ruotian has said your kind words in front of me a lot, so I will let him learn more from you. The battle in the United States was very beautiful. I can't believe that such a young man is so experienced in his technique?"
Wu Caihe's eyes narrowed slightly. When he spoke, he always had a smile on his face, which gave people a gentle feeling. It was completely different from Wu Caiyang's strength and Wu Caijiang's roundness. He was like an elder without any airs, making people feel intimate.
But in the officialdom, sometimes you need a little bit of air and a little bit of control, otherwise others will not look down on you. Unless you reach the top position, you are approachable and care about the people without airs, but at the department level, even at the provincial level, you must maintain a kind of mystery and alienation to ensure the authority and respect you deserve.
Perhaps Wu Caihe is too easy-going and loving, so that he will not be afraid. Without fear, no one will take you seriously.
Please say a few polite words and make a noise, Xia Xiang was welcomed into it.
Mr. Fu sat upright in the middle of the living room. There was a person next to him, wearing a long skirt, long hair, with a pleasing eyebrows, calm and distant appearance, giving people a kind of solemn and quiet beauty. Xia Xiang almost recognized her, but she was Fu Xianxian.
Fu Xianxian also has such a quiet side?
Xia Xiang had had two dealings with Mr. Fu, once he was polite in masks, and once he was a direct collision. Both times were not a pleasant memory. Fortunately, everyone was a scene person and knew that one time and another. Although Mr. Fu did not get up and only nodded to Xia Xiang, there was still a warm look in his eyes.
Xia Xiang asked respectfully, very polite, very distant, and showed appropriate respect. But Fu Xianxian kept lowering her head. I don’t know what she was pretending, and didn’t dare to look at Xia Xiang more, but just nodded lightly.
Sitting down and having tea, the so-called social engagement is just a few clichés, but the feelings between people are slowly cultivated in some common things. People are emotional animals, and whoever they are close to and far away from them is the most important thing to maintain emotional relationships. Of course, as a politician, feelings are the most unreliable. On the surface, respect, who knows whether there are two sides behind them?
The reason why Xia Xiang was able to sit in front of Mr. Fu and drink tea was not because Mr. Fu had any feelings for him, but because it was completely at stake.
"The food at the Qiu family is not as delicious as the Fu family..." Mr. Fu said to eat it, "The Qiu family has a light taste, and the dishes cooked with less salt and no taste. I can't get used to it. It's either salty or sweet, neither salt nor sweet. How can I eat it?"
Xia Xiang didn't care much about what he had to eat. He could eat delicacies for a few bites and could eat steamed buns and pickles. When dealing with the old man's theory of eating, he had to smile: "I've been talking and I even forgot what the food tastes."
"Haha..." Mr. Fu smiled proudly, "Today I bought you a good roast duck first. You must taste it carefully. Don't remember what it tastes. She is always her wish."
Xia Xiangchengqing: "Actually, there is no need to worry about it. I eat whatever I want and am not picky. But I also have to thank you for your kindness first."
"Don't thank her, why do you thank her? Our Fu family all want to thank you for saving Xiansheng." Mr. Fu said solemnly, "The previous grievances and grievances have passed. From the moment you saved Xiansheng, you are the VIP guest of the Fu family."
This is a big deal. Xia Xiangke couldn't afford to be the VIP guest of the Fu family. Just as he was about to make a few polite words, Mr. Fu waved his hand: "The grace of saving lives is greater than that of heaven. Besides, everything else is hypocrisy. Come, eat, eat."
Xia Xiang had no choice but to obey his orders and sit down for dinner.
Fu Xianxian sat next to him, picked up food for him, and packed duck meat for him. He was careful, attentive and caring, so Xia couldn't help but eat more. But in front of the Fu family, he was a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, Fu Xianfeng's father, uncle and third uncle were not present, otherwise the pressure would be greater.
After all, there was a deep holiday between us and the Fu family, and it was difficult for people to meet each other and forget their grudges with a smile.
Wu Caihe was fine, still smiling, as if he turned a blind eye to the intimacy between Shixian and Xia Xiang. Wu Ruotian was not as cunning as that. His eyes floated over several times, falling on Xia Xiang and Fu Xianxian, with confusion and doubt on his face.
Needless to say, Wu Ruotian knew the relationship between Xia Xiang and Lian Ruohan.
The meal was delicious and tasteless. What was delicious was that Mr. Fu said was true, and the food was delicious. What was delicious was that the table was sitting together, but there were not many common languages, there were barriers, and unfamiliarity. Although he also said some words, most of them were related to eating and did not involve nutritional topics.
It's normal. Today is just a tentative meeting. If you want to have real interests with the Fu family, there is still a long way to go in the future.
Of course, today there is not a loss. At least my psychological relationship with the Fu family has reached a little. At least Mr. Fu showed a loving and tolerant side in front of Xia Xiang. At least the appearance of Wu Caihe and Wu Ruotian must have received Mr. Wu's tacit approval, and indirectly stated that the Wu family hopes that he and the Fu family will shake hands and make peace.
The hand was shaking, but when it comes to harmony, Xia Xiang believed that it would take time.
After going back tonight, Cao Shuyan and Xia Dong had already fallen asleep. They went out for a walk with Lian Ruohan and were tired. Xia Xiang was not sleepy, and one of them was not on the light in the room, and they were thinking about things in the dark.
It was a sudden time to take office in Lang City and did not give him much preparation. However, what was completely different from his trip to Lang City was that taking office in Tianze City gave him enough buffer period and allowed him to do his preliminary work. And it happened to be during the National Day holiday. This trip to the capital has become a footnote to the upcoming job in Tianze City.
During his tenure in Langshi for about one year, he gradually had fewer contacts with his family. At the beginning, he had a brief contest with the Fu family and Mei family because of emerging agriculture. Then he had neither conflicts of interest nor common interests. Even the conflicts with the Fu family were reduced a lot as time went by.
But before Tianze City took office, the four companies suddenly collaborated, which made the relationship between him and the four companies quickly heat up. Naturally, there are certain objective factors, and it is difficult to guarantee that there is no behind-the-scenes factor. Is it the Wu family, the Fu family, or who?
Xia Xiang was more clear. In fact, the four families were deliberately trying to use the trend of applauding him, putting pressure on the Prime Minister, or even watching the show for the troupe. The political intention was very obvious. Just kidding, everyone is a person in the officialdom, and every move naturally has the intention behind it.
Another point was that he had been holding back and not taking the initiative to call Lao Gu, and Lao Gu was always silent. With Lao Gu's channels and the deliberate momentum of four companies, Lao Gu had long seen his every move in the capital, but he had nothing to say, either watching coldly or the Prime Minister was completely disappointed with him and had given up on him.
Or it is unknown whether he is observing him in secret.
The nights in the capital are noisy and beautiful. In fact, there is not much difference between being in the capital and being in Yan City, at least in Xia Xiang’s feeling. They are both vertical and vertical northern cities, with the same accent and the same crowd. In addition to the taller buildings in the capital, the cars are more congested on the streets and more foreign faces, the difference between them and Yan City is not so obvious.
The capital city is an ancient city and Yan City is a new city. The domestic cities have the same planning and expansion without distinctive places, which leads to similarities in the face of the city, which has to be said to be a kind of sadness. Therefore, domestic tourism and urban tourism have never had a market.
Tianze City is also a tourist city. Although it is known as the top ten scenic spots in China, its tourism resources are not rich in reality. Apart from a long-standing royal garden, other scenery is not large or distinctive. Moreover, due to climate, characteristic tourism has not been developed. There are very few other aspects worth mentioning, including mediocre industry, average agriculture, and poor minerals. It can be said that for decades, we have been competing with the City of Yan Province to be the title of the No. 1 poor city in Yan Province.
...
The next day, Xia Xiang accompanied Cao Shugui and Xia Dong visited the Great Wall. It was Xiao Wu and Feng Meimei who climbed the Great Wall for the first time. The two families had a good time. It was not until the afternoon when they received a call from Lian Ruohan, Xia Xiang returned to the hotel. She was so tired that her legs were sore and her waist was weak. She lay on the bed and didn't want to move at all.
Even if he didn't want to move, Wu Caiyang sent an invitation to his Wu family for a banquet.
It would be better not to take Cao Shuyan to the Wu family. Even Ruohan specifically told her that she would come to accompany Cao Shuyan and his son to buy clothes. If Xia wanted to kill him, she would not buy any clothes. After climbing the Great Wall for a day, she was so tired that she could not take any energy. But women are women. Even if she is Cao Shuyan, she is interested in clothes more than her legs are sore.
Xia Xiang handed over the bank card that Lian Ruohan gave him to Cao Shugui: "If you use it casually, buy whatever you like. I can't accompany you, so you spend money hard. I heard that women will be happy as soon as they spend money."
Cao Shuni received the card and put it in his bag: "It seems that I have never spent your money. How much is your monthly salary? Is it enough for me to buy a piece of underwear?" She smiled with a cramped smile, obviously intentionally joking about Xia Xiang.
Xia Xiang Dahan, his monthly salary is only two or three thousand yuan. When it comes to making money, not to mention that it is very different from Lian Ruohan, even Cao Shuyan can earn five or six million yuan a year, which is really incomparable.
It was also Xia Xiang who was indifferent to money, but Feng Meimei helped him out: "Jiangshan Real Estate made a profit of several hundred million last year..."
Xia Xiang is the largest hidden shareholder of Jiangshan Real Estate. When Feng Meimei reminded him, he suddenly realized that he was also a rich man.
In the evening, Xia Xiang drove to the Wu family by himself and asked Xiao Wu to accompany Feng Meimei, Lian Ruohan and Cao Shuyan to act as both a driver and a bodyguard. Although it is said that no one dares to provoke Lian Ruohan in the capital, with Xiao Wu here, several stunning beauties can avoid harassment from the perverts without eyes.
When he arrived at the Wu family, he came out to greet Wu Caijiang and did not surprise Xia Xiang. Mei Shengping, who was following Wu Caijiang, made Xia Xiang stand on the spot for a moment, almost unable to believe his eyes. It was not until Mei Shengping came to him with a smile on his face, regardless of the dignified deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, and punched him gently on his shoulder that he woke up and smiled embarrassedly.
After laughing, I realized that the relationship between the four major families was actually more complicated than he imagined. It was not that the Mei family and the Qiu family had a good relationship. If they wanted to join forces to deal with the Fu family, the Mei family could not have contact with the Wu family. It was not that the Wu family and the Fu family quickly approached, so they had to draw a clear line with the Mei family and the Qiu family.
Among the four companies, competition is competition, cooperation is cooperation, and overall it is a trend of seeking common ground while reserving differences.
However, the unprecedented interactions of the four families, as well as their mutual integration and pairing, made Xia understand a serious fact, that in this major adjustment of provincial and ministerial cadres, the Qiu family was defeated and the Fu family gained power, but if it was not as expected, the overall strength of the four major families must have declined, the strength of the regiment system has increased, and the civilian system may also conquer cities and land, and only the family forces have suffered heavy losses.
This is why there was an abnormal interaction during the National Day.
Wu Caijiang looked good. When he saw Xia Xiang, he shook his hand, patted Xia Xiang on the shoulder, and said nothing, and pulled Xia Xiang into the house. Mei Shengping probably drank a lot of wine at noon, and there was also a smell of alcohol. The smile on his face was meaningful, and he didn't know what he was smiling.
When I got into the house, I found that the Wu family was there, except Lian Ruohan, all of them were there!
Mr. Wu sat in the middle, Wu Caihe on the left, Wu Caiyang on the right, Wu Ruotian behind him, and a young man in his early 20s, probably Wu Caijiang's son Wu Ruojiu.
In addition, Wu Caijiang, who came in with him, was all the family members of the Wu family, the first family of the dynasty!
The Wu family’s family banquet is so grand that everyone is dispatched, which is not just about winning over Xia Xiang. The deeper meaning is that Mr. Wu accepted Xia Xiang’s existence as a member of the Wu family in his heart!
Because Xia Xiang is the son-in-law who cannot be disclosed by the Wu family, but he is the de facto son-in-law.
Mei Shengping's eyes were complicated and his heart was mixed. The Wu family completely accepted the fact that Xia Xiang was mixed for him.
As a dazzling political star among the department-level cadres, Xia Xiang is rising. Not only is the Prime Minister very much appreciated him, but he intends to include him in the sphere of influence of the civilians. I heard that even the regiment department has inquired about Xia Xiang's political stance and tried to win Xia Xiang over to join the regiment department. Although Xia Xiang has not had any experience in the regiment organization, it did not hinder the senior management of the regiment department's favor and interest in him. However, after I heard that the regiment department temporarily gave up the idea of contacting him after learning that Xia Xiang's political stance was swaying between civilians and families.
It was mainly because Mr. Wu took the opportunity to take action. I heard that the Prime Minister intended to make Xia Xiang practice in Lang City for another two years, but Mr. Wu suddenly took action and transferred Xia Xiang to Tianze City, thus making Xia Xiang stay away from the right and wrong place in Lang City.
Mei Shengping knew the Wu family’s intentions. Tianze City has traditionally been the scope of family forces, allowing Xia Xiang to transition to the main hall safely under the protection of the family forces, and then polish the position of the main hall for a few years, laying a solid foundation for his smooth entry into the deputy department.
Now the vision is long-term. In the past, the senior management recruited talents from the position of the main department to enter the reserve of provincial and ministerial cadres. Now even the deputy department has targeted it. It is also because the differences in the ruling philosophy have intensified. Among the senior management, the contradictions on how to govern the country and how to further deepen reform and opening up are prominent.
The political concepts of secretaries and governors in various provinces are already mature, and it is no longer possible to change them. Department-level cadres are the backbone, especially the actual cadres of the department who are the secretary of the municipal party committee and mayor. Whether their governance philosophy is left or right has not been completely finalized. They are the reserve force of provincial and ministerial cadres, especially the best among them, which is even more eye-catching and cannot be seen by the senior management.
Not to mention that like Xia Xiang, he is appreciated by civilian forces and has an undisciplined entanglement relationship with family forces. Who he tends to in political stance can not only bring a force that cannot be ignored to one faction, but also has great symbolic significance and a far-reaching blow to another faction.
Therefore, Xia Xiang’s popularity is not without deep objectivity, but also a conventional thinking under the bidding model. The more civilian forces want Xia Xiang, the more reluctant the family forces will let go, the more the importance of Xia Xiang will be.
Fortunately, what made Mei Shengping very pleased was that Xia Xiang was not so unforgettable, and he was still calmly facing the colorful and chaotic situation, which also made him sigh secretly that there was indeed a general. As expected, the vision of all forces has the same points. Xia Xiang was attracted to by all parties, which was also related to his own strong qualities.
Knowing that the Wu family would accept Xia Xiang sooner or later, but seeing Mr. Wu’s family mobilization with his own eyes, Mei Shengping sighed in his heart for no reason when he thought of Mei Xiaolin.
