Chapter 907: Governance, ideas

The episode just now seemed like a trivial matter. After a while, everyone rushed to toast, and seemed to be thrown behind. In fact, they all knew in their hearts that a trivial matter that flattened the venue was gently kicked out by Xia Xiang, which tested the position of two heavyweights in the municipal government team. Yang Jian was slightly biased towards him, while Xu Fanhua was obviously more inclined to Chen Jiewen.

At least this is true at this stage.

Xia Xiang is the second largest figure in Tianze City, but he is the youngest. Standing among the leaders of the municipal party committee who are basically around 50 years old, he is really too young.

But young, after all, the level is at the level. At the beginning, the atmosphere was still warm and orderly, and no matter how lively it was, there was no chaos. When we toasted Xia Xiang in turn, whether it was the older 55-year-old secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, or the youngest 40-year-old propaganda minister of the Municipal Party Committee, Chang Heng, all showed enough respect for Xia Xiang.

This is the case in the officialdom. Even if you are only 30 years old and the other party is 60 years old, he is not as high as you, so he has to respect you, because what he respects is not your age, but the power in your hands.

However, after three rounds of drinking, many people drank a few more drinks and became a little more drunk. When they toast Xia Xiang, they became a little more casual and jokes. It may also be related to Xia Xiang's easy-goingness when they started to toast. Although Xia Xiang was the mayor, he didn't want to be too arrogant. When facing a lower-level person in his 50s toast, he could not be like a mayor in his forties or fifties, and then he would be able to hum a few words and then mix his lips.

Almost every time he toasted, he drank half a cup, and after a few rounds, he drank half a bottle. Fortunately, he had a good alcohol tolerance, and it was no problem for eight liang of white wine.

Perhaps because of the customs of various places, the leaders of the municipal party committee who attended the welcoming banquet all like to drink, but some people almost drank high. It is understandable that summer thoughts are somewhat. Like Zhangcheng City, Tianze City is long and cold in winter, so the locals are good at drinking and have a great alcohol capacity, just like people in Northeast China, with 60 to 70 degrees of white wine.

People in cold places have a good alcohol tolerance.

But even if he loves alcohol as his life, he still has to separate occasions, so he does not think that some people will drink too much at the welcoming banquet. Unexpectedly, some people will drink too much, and in his opinion, it is Lei Yida, the most stable and mature United Front Minister.

Lei Yida is 57 years old this year, two years older than the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission. He saw that he was at the age of retirement. When he first started to toast, he was still very serious. He only cried a glass with Xia Xiang and went to toast others. When it was almost over, he came again, and he was obviously drunk and his tongue was getting bigger. He pulled Xia Xiang and insisted that Xia Xiang have three drinks in a row.

"Secretary Xia, I am almost at the right time. I have worked for the Party for the rest of my life, and I have worked hard without any credit. But when I say my heart, I am about to step down, and I feel uncomfortable. I have worked for revolutionary work all my life. I have become old and old. I realize that I have missed too many opportunities. What a pity, it's a pity." He was quite a bit dependent on his old age, holding Xia Xiang's arm with one hand and holding the wine with the other. Maybe he doesn't think it, but in the eyes of others, it's a bit too big or too young, but he still doesn't know, "I've been in the party and government organs for decades. This is the first time I'm seeing a mayor as young as you. Why does it have a bright future? I won't say much. I just want to have three glasses of wine with you. How about it, do you give me the face of this old man?"

Face is not given by people, but earned by oneself. Lei Yida and his face are wrinkled, gray hair, and he is so old that he is still drunk, which is a bit unreasonable. The main reason is that the occasion is wrong. As the leader of the municipal party committee, no matter how much he loves drinking, he cannot get drunk regardless of the occasion or the time.

Xia Xiangwei was unhappy, but she couldn't refute Lei Yi's face in public. After all, she was an old comrade, so she still had to take care of her emotions. She said, "I also drank a lot of alcohol today, and my alcohol content was limited. However, since Minister Lei opened his mouth, I'll drink three more glasses."

Some people agree with Xia Xiang's generousness, some people are puzzled, and those who agree with him think he has the measure, while those who are puzzled think he is easy to bully. Even a United Front Minister can force the mayor to drink. What kind of morality is that Xia Xiang is the mayor no matter how young Xia Xiang is, and his level is higher than Lei Yi, so he cannot give in to him.

Xia Xiang even drank three cups, and many people applauded in unison when they saw Xia Xiang so happy.

Unexpectedly, Lei Yida took advantage of the wine to enhance his courage. He didn't know whether he was encouraged or looked at Xia Xiang, so he reached out to take the wine bottle: "Secretary Xia, I'll give you three more cups. It's not okay to do revolutionary work without alcohol. There is a saying that you can drink half a pound of 80 taels. Such cadres can be trained..."

Chen Jiewen's face darkened. It was what her superiors said to her subordinates. It would be too rude to say this to her subordinates.

Shi Wei wanted to hold the wine and clink glasses with others. Seeing Lei Yi's cowardly look, he put the glass on: "It's big or small. When you're old, why are you even more ignorant?"

Many people stopped and looked here. For a moment, the room was so quiet that it seemed to see how Xia Xiang stepped down.

Xia Xiang's face gradually became dark. He slowly placed the wine glass in his hand on the table and reached out to help Lei: "Minister Lei, drinking is for the sake of enjoyment, not for getting drunk, nor for getting others drunk! Today's wine is over, Secretary Chen, I think it will be gone."

He directly asked to end the show. As the second person, as soon as Xia Xiang spoke, everyone knew that today's banquet was over.

Chen Jiewen naturally would not refute Xia Xiang's face. She waved her hand and said unhappily: "Lao Lei, can you change your problem of getting drunk as soon as you touch the wine? It's getting more and more distorted."

Anyone thought that things would end here. Lei Yida would give Chen Jiewen face no matter what. He was drunk because he was drunk, but he was not drunk yet and couldn't tell the priority.

Unexpectedly, a shocking scene appeared. Lei Yida picked up the wine glass on Xia Xiang's table again without hesitation, holding his hands in front of Xia Xiang: "Secretary Xia, I was wrong just now. Now I admit my mistake to you. If you don't drink it, you just don't accept my apology."

Many people understand something. Lei Yida usually loves alcohol and often gets drunk, but today he is not drunk, he just goes crazy by drinking alcohol, and there must be someone instructing him behind him.

What you want is either to make Xia Xiang unable to get out of office, or to test Xia Xiang's scheming and patience, or simply give Xia Xiang a warning. Anyway, Lei Yida has retired in two or three years, and it is an unimportant united front department. I am not afraid of Xia Xiang's stumbling neck, nor am I worried about how Xia Xiang wears him with small shoes.

Yes, let alone Xia Xiang is the mayor, even the secretary of the municipal party committee, he can't do anything about Lei Yida. He just relies on his seniority to be old. Anyway, he can't be promoted anymore. You don't have the power to dismiss him on the spot. It's better for him to contradict the mayor, and maybe he dares to contradict the provincial leaders. There is never a shortage of stubborn heads in the officialdom, and Xia Xiang has never seen him.

"You are right, there is no need to apologize to me. I don't drink enough, so I won't drink it. Next time, I'll talk about it next time." Xia Xiang's face was calm, and she didn't accept the big glass of thunder. Although there was no anger on her face, she still showed a faint power.

After all, I am the mayor, and my level is at my authority.

Lei Yida raised the cup awkwardly, and it was neither right to put it or not, and suddenly another sentence came out: "Mayor Xia doesn't give face, but he just refuses to forgive me. Okay, I will punish myself for a bottle."

As he said that, he reached out to grab a bottle of white wine, opened the lid, and was about to blow directly into the bottle.

Yang Jian flashed over in time, reached out to grab the bottle, and then grabbed the wine glass in Lei Yida's hand, and drank it dry: "I'll drink your wine, okay, Lao Lei, you are old, you will always be drunk and crazy, and it makes people laugh when you tell it."

"Just? What are you laughing at me? I am not greedy, not holding, not being stuck, I will love to drink wine all my life, and others laugh at me, that is, I will laugh at the poor but not the prostitute?" He opened his eyes wide and snatched Yang Jian's wine back, "Yang Jian, why do you drink my wine? You just said bad things about Secretary Xia, don't think I didn't hear it."

Yang Jian was annoyed: "If you don't speak, no one will think you are mute."

"You said that Secretary Xia is a noble man who travels to bring trouble. I am afraid that what I want to say is that Secretary Xia is likely to cause trouble everywhere he goes, right?"

"You..." Yang Jian's face turned red, "The wind and rain I mentioned are the weather. You understand that it is because you have a psychological problem. I will tell you that you are not rational!" After that, he shook his sleeves and left.

Xia Xiang seemed not angry at all, and even looked at Chen Jiewen with interest. Chen Jiewen couldn't hold her face anymore. It was obvious that everyone was here today to be a concrete manifestation of her controlling the overall situation, and it also allowed Minister Shi to see the stable and united political situation in Tianze City, and to send it back to the provincial party committee through his mouth. If Xia Xiang comes and Tianze City is no longer united, it will be Xia Xiang's personal problem.

Unexpectedly, Lei Yida went crazy by drinking and made a good show, which made her lose face. Those who knew it knew that Lei Yida had this temper. It was hard to say whether anyone behind the scenes encouraged him. He had had a joke once or twice before. Those who didn't know thought that she secretly instructed Xia Xiang to be unable to leave the stage. If she was misunderstood by the provincial party committee leaders, she would have lost a lot of points.

And looking at Xia Xiang's expression, did she doubt that she wouldn't say it for now, at least her face looked like a smile was a mockery, and she became angry: "Old Lei is drunk, Yang Jian, find a few people to carry him away, don't let him embarrass him in front of Minister Shi and Secretary Xia."

Shi Wei said, "No need, let's get here today. I've been taking the bus for a day and I'm tired. I'm going to have a break early."

Xia Xiang also said: "Thank you for your kindness, let's part first, there will be opportunities in the future."

A pun, is there a chance to get a party or a chance to get it back? Let everyone guess.

During a reception banquet, Yang Jian expressed his kindness to Xia Xiang, and Xu Fanhua expressed his position of getting close to Chen Jiewen. Lei Yida took advantage of the situation and made trouble, disrupting the good situation. He also had a fight with Yang Jian. A colorful and chaotic drama made Xia Xiang see some unknown things hidden behind the Tianze Municipal Party Committee on a harmonious surface.

The next morning, the Standing Committee of the Third Tianze Municipal People's Congress held its 22nd meeting and decided to Ren Xia Xiang as the deputy mayor of Tianze Municipal People's Government and acting mayor.

As soon as the meeting ended, Shi Wei left Tianze City. Before leaving, he held Xia Xiang's hand earnestly: "Comrade Xia Xiang, carry out work in Tianze City well. The provincial party committee has high hopes for you."

In the afternoon, Xia Xiang presided over the government executive meeting. The participants included Deputy Mayor An Xingyi, Deputy Mayor Xu Fanhua, Deputy Mayor Li Xiaomin, Deputy Mayor Zhang Yujia, Deputy Mayor Jing Yuancheng, Deputy Mayor Guo Jingming, Deputy Mayor Zhou Haitao, etc.

Before the provincial party committee's appointment to adjust An Xingyi's position in Lang City was issued, An Xingyi had to sit honestly at Xia Xiang's lower head and be Xia Xiang's deputy, although he was actually the mayor who was sure.

An Xingyi also attended the welcoming banquet last night, but he didn't say much, and he didn't even say a few words to Xia Xiang alone. An Xingyi, 43 years old this year, has a fat body, big face, and is probably 1.8 meters tall. He is a tall figure rare among officials. However, disproportionately with the height of his body, his voice is very small, and sometimes he can't hear what he says without listening carefully.

I don’t know if it is intentional to speak in a low voice that makes people have to concentrate on listening to his speech, or if it is born like this.

Xia Xiang was not sure why Song Chaodu promoted An Xingyi and what his relationship was with An Xingyi. If he didn't say anything about his leader, he couldn't ask. Even if he had a close relationship with Song Chaodu, he had to grasp one. No matter how approachable the Song Dynasty was, he was also the head of a province.

Xia Xiang also felt that An Xingyi was very indifferent to him and seemed to have no intention of contacting him, so he naturally would not take the initiative to express anything.

The meeting was very successful. Xia Xiang first came to Tianze City and did not understand the current situation of Tianze City enough, so An Xingyi presided over the meeting and gave him a work report.

Tianze, known as Here in the past, is located in the northeast of Yan Province. It is one of the first 24 national historical and cultural cities, one of the top ten scenic spots in China, one of the top 40 tourist attractions, and one of the national key scenic spots. It is a national Class A open city. In 1994, the Xia Villa in Tianze and its surrounding temples were approved by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage Site, thus allowing Tianze to enter the ranks of world cultural cities.

The origin of the name Tianze is said to be a gift from an ancient emperor. At that time, the emperor was so happy to see the beautiful mountains and rivers here. The emperor was so hungry that the emperor was so thirsty that he was in the sky, and he was so unbearable that he was in the sky. When he was unbearable, heavy rain suddenly fell from the sky, which not only quenched his thirst, but also quenched the heat. The emperor was so happy: "It is really a place where the blessings came from heaven." From then on, this place was called Tianze.

Tianze City has an area of ​​about 40,000 square kilometers and a population of about 4 million. Its economic structure is not very reasonable. It relies too much on tourism. It has no heavy and light industries that can be found, nor does it have a brand strategy. Its mineral resources are relatively poor. In addition to the slightly higher gold stock, it is more abundant in vanadium titanium magnetite.

The rare and precious metal alloy products industry, mainly based on vanadium titanium, is Tianze's most advantageous industry. In addition, there are some green food processing that have certain advantages. For example, Tianze's only famous brand product, Ginkgo Almond Dew, is the pride of Tianze.

The most famous thing in Tianze City is the Xia Villa. As a must-visit place for the Qing Dynasty to govern the government every year, Tianze was once prosperous. Later, due to historical reasons, the once prosperous now only had a huge royal garden. Perhaps at that time, the Xia Villa was a place to escape the summer vacation and was full of lakes and mountains, but now there are gardens everywhere in the country. Xia Villa, apart from being the emperor's palace, does not have many characteristics worth showing off.

Xia Xiang has also been to Xia Xia Villa. To be honest, it is just a bigger park, and it cannot even compare to the newly built forest park in Yan City, let alone the meticulous waterscape park on the banks of Xiamahe.

The royal aura of Jinling was depressed, not to mention that Tianze City, which had no royal aura, relied on the repeated hype of the old capital of a royal garden, and resources would always be exhausted.

In other words, the most proud tourism resources in Tianze City are actually very weak.

Then again, the grassland tourism in Tianze City has just emerged and is in full swing now. It is also a major characteristic tourism. It is rivaled by the Circular City and is working hard to expand the market and compete for the source of tourists in the capital. In contrast, the grasslands in Tianze City are better and flatter than the grasslands in Zhangcheng City. In recent years, many tourists who are interested in traveling to the Circular City grasslands have been competed for.

After An Xingyi's report was completed, several other deputy mayors also rush to speak, saying that they would discuss the current situation and future development of Tianze City, and offer suggestions. Of course, there are also people who take the opportunity to express their intention to get closer to Xia Xiang.

Compared with Lang City, the main leaders of the Tianze Municipal Party Committee are obviously older and their thinking is more conservative. There is no woman among the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. In the government team, there is a deputy mayor Zhang Yujia. Zhang Yujia is about 40 years old. From the dressing, you can see that she is a conservative and professional woman, with a round face, a slightly fat man, and loves to smile.

Xia Xiang has also read the resumes of several other deputy mayors, and probably knows it well. Of course, he is very familiar with everyone's political tendencies, so he is not in a hurry. He has to start from scratch even if he has to work. He has just started a small job and has a long time.

After the meeting, as soon as Xia Xiang returned to the office, the government office director Peng Yunfeng knocked in with a smile: "Mayor Xia, I have selected several secretary candidates for you, please check it out."

Peng Yunfeng is 35 years old, very energetic and speaks very well. He is considered a relatively young person in the Tianze Municipal Party Committee. Among the Tianze Municipal Party Committee, not only are the main party and government leaders older, but some staff members are also quite old, which makes Xia Xiang feel as if he has walked into a very old agency. Looking around, he feels dead.

We have to find a way to change the status quo. Without vitality, how can we do our work better? Tianze City should not sleep with the past history. To move forward and develop, we must open up new ideas and be energetic.

Xia Xiang pointed to the sofa with her hand: "Sit."

Peng Yunfeng did not sit, but stood in front of Xia Xiang: "I won't sit. After you call me, I will arrange the staff in place. It will not be delayed, you have too many things to do."

Xia Xiang didn't force himself, but looked down at the information. He didn't take his secretary several times, and there were various reasons. Therefore, this time he decided to take a good secretary as his future team training.
Chapter completed!
