Chapter 932: The situation is abnormal

Within three days, Xia Xiang arranged a lot of work and everything was going well. Chen Jiewen was not in Tianze, and because of her defeat at the Standing Committee, there were endless people who approached Mayor Xia. Of course, Mayor Xia would not be stunned by victory and adhered to three principles: one is not to receive guests at home, the second is to see any two-faced figures, and the third is to not promise to win over the people coming to the next level, but to look at their future performance.

Although he met many people within three days, there were not many people who were truly available in his eyes. It was not easy to build his own team, and Mayor Xia was more picky in employed people. As of now, the limited number of people who could catch his eyes were Yang Jian, Chen Tianyu, Peng Yunfeng, Li Xiaomin and Xu Ziqi, as well as Liu Yijiu whom he had never met, and the folks were Zhang You.

Most of the snow on the road had melted. Because it was a highway, the speed was basically not slow. Xia Xiang looked at the gray scenery of winter outside the car window, and suddenly remembered a person who had moved closer to him before coming - Ji Fengsheng.

Unlike others who are smiling and flattering, when Ji Fengsheng came to report his work - he was the director of the Information Department of the Municipal Party Committee Office. Because Chen Jiewen was not in the Municipal Party Committee, Mayor Xia was temporarily in charge of the entire stall. The Municipal Party Committee would ask him for instructions if there were any problems. Of course, the premise was a big matter - his face was not very good-looking, and it seemed very embarrassing. Moreover, the work he reported was trivial, and he knew at a glance that he was taking the opportunity to express his loyalty to the mayor.

Ji Fengsheng is 45 years old, wearing a gray-white Zhongshan suit and a pair of black-framed glasses. His hair is quite white and a little messy. The black-framed glasses are a bit old when they look, and one of their legs is broken and they are stuck with tape, which seems to fall off as soon as they touch it.

Xia Xiang knew his true intention of reporting the work, but he did not point it out. He simply looked at the report submitted by Ji Fengsheng. It would be fine if he didn't read it, but he was very surprised when he saw it because other people's reports were printed, only his reports were written word by word, and the words were written very beautifully, with the taste of a calligrapher. At the same time, the content of the report was also very literary, not dry government-specific text.

Xia Xiang immediately glanced at Ji Fengsheng and asked him to sit down.

After Ji Fengsheng sat down, he first introduced himself a few words, and then hesitated: "Secretary Xia, you will have something to use for me in the future. Although I have no other skills, I can write a report and draft or something, which is reasonable."

If it is reasonable to say that he calls Xia Xiang the position of the municipal party committee, but he shows loyalty when he comes up and speaks it so bluntly, it does not conform to the rules of the officialdom, and it is not a cunning performance. If another mayor has changed, he will definitely be looked down upon immediately. Not to mention using him, he will definitely be directly classified as a corner that is useless. No one will reuse a subordinate who cannot even speak official words, because the most taboo in the officialdom is to speak without restraint. Not only can he not say what he should not say, but if one sentence is wrong, it may ruin a lifelong future.

Misfortune comes from the mouth.

Xia Xiang was fine, but he was not strong in bureaucratic aura, but he laughed silently. He said a few words and sent Ji Fengsheng away. He would not have a bad impression of Ji Fengsheng, but he would not use him seriously. Ji Fengsheng didn't even understand the most basic rules of the officialdom. He could survive in the officialdom until now, and he also served as the director of the Information Department - although he was only at the section level, a 45-year-old section-level cadre, who had basically reached the end - was already a miracle. The most important thing was that there was no Ji Fengsheng's position in the team he planned.

When Ji Fengsheng was about to leave, there was a strong look of disappointment in his eyes, and Xia Xiang didn't take it seriously. It was not that he had been used to being in the officialdom for a long time, but that in the officialdom, there was no need to be soft-hearted. If you help someone who is incompetent, you should not help him or harm him, because he became a target as soon as he came up.

Later, when he spoke, Peng Yunfeng accidentally talked about Ji Fengsheng and talked about Ji Fengsheng's experience. Originally, Ji Fengsheng mentioned Zhengshi as early as 33 years old. It was a small glorious time at that time, but when he was referring to the deputy director later, he said a wrong sentence and was disliked by the leaders at that time, so he missed an excellent opportunity to promote.

Ji Fengsheng was idle and somehow thought of the words "Secretary does big things, and the leader does small things." Because it was all the secretaries who arranged the work, after the leaders attended, they signed a name and said a word. In fact, the secretary was doing the behind-the-scenes work and speeches. As a result, the words reached the ears of the municipal party secretary at that time, and the municipal party secretary said unhappily: "Play the piano randomly!"

A word ruined Ji Fengsheng’s 10-year future!

Later, there were several promotions, and some opponents mentioned the old secretary's words, but they were replaced again and again. It was not until Secretary Chen took office that Ji Fengsheng had another chance.

The Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Political and Legal Affairs Committee held an anti-corruption and integrity essay contest. In fact, the original intention was not to really listen to the opinions of cadres and the masses, but to go through the form and generate income at the same time. Most people knew it and sang praises. As a result, Ji Feng was honest and wrote down the corruption phenomenon, power and money transactions and various unhealthy trends in Tianze City in a realistic manner. He also put forward 18 suggestions for anti-corruption and integrity, solemnly signed it as a daimyo, and then submitted it to it.

As a result, when deliberating, Pi Buxiu read Ji Fengsheng's article first, and first made an applause: "Good words!" Then after reading the content, he looked gloomy, "Who is this?"

Who doesn’t understand the face of the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission?

The key point is that Pei Yifeng was also very surprised. After seeing it, he laughed: "He is a very good person, he is a talent, and he has listed eighteen points. I think he is called Ji Shiba and forget it."

Ji Shiba's nickname started to scream.

Later, when he was promoting a deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee, the Organization Department reported to Ji Fengsheng. Chen Jiewen was very satisfied with Ji Fengsheng's calligraphy and literary talent, so she prepared to click on his name. After hearing about it, Pi Buxiu and Pei Yifeng, he dug out the article of that year and handed it to Chen Jiewen, and mentioned the famous quotes of that year. After Chen Jiewen learned about it, she also smiled: "Ji Shiba... It's interesting. It's a good thing to worry about the country and the people, but you have to distinguish the importance. In his eyes, the leader does not do big things, so let him do big things."

As soon as the municipal party secretary Jinkou opened, Ji Shiba became a person who couldn't tell the difference. Who would promote him again? As a result, Ji Fengsheng's Zhengke went from 33 to 45, and stayed there for 12 years!

Just because of a wrong statement back then, he was suppressed by the unspoken rules of the officialdom for 12 years. Ji Fengsheng is a top student who graduated from Tsinghua University. He also published a large number of articles in newspapers in his early years. He was once known as a pen for the Tianze Municipal Party Committee. Unfortunately, he has been tempered by the officialdom and has been timid. Not only has he lost his talent, but he also has the courage.

Xia Xiang heard the experience of Ji Fengsheng told by Peng Yunfeng, and just laughed it off and ignored it. The officialdom is a place to temper people. Psychology with a person will not bring any help to his progress. Moreover, he still has many important things to be busy with, so he threw it behind his mind in a blink of an eye.

What Xia Xiang didn't expect was that it was Ji Fengsheng, who seemed cowardly and inappropriate, who performed an admirable feat in an incident and became the fuse for the rectification of the official atmosphere in Tianze City, causing an increasingly intense storm.

And afterwards, he felt heartbroken and reflected on his ideas on hiring people!

...

When he arrived in the capital, Xia Xiang first went to Lian Ruohan's villa to meet Lian Ruohan and his son. Even Xia grew taller and had her own little idea. She was no longer dependent on Xia Xiang as before. She just hugged him and ran to the side to read. Even Xia loves reading books, and often sits for a long time without moving, which makes it difficult for him to sit still at a young age.

In broad daylight, they couldn't keep warm with Lian Ruohan, so the two of them just talked. In winter, the room was as warm as spring, with enough heating, and the room temperature was at least 22 degrees, which was very comfortable. Lian Ruohan only wore tights. Because of her frequent exercise recently, her lower abdomen became flatter and her legs were straighter and her legs were more straight and she used her strength. Especially tights were a fatal temptation for men. In addition, the room temperature was too high, Xia Xiang felt a little dry.

Lian Ruohan saw Xia Xiang’s demand and laughed at him: “You are useless. You took so much effort last time and there was no movement at all.” She said while stroking her lower abdomen, because she curled up on the sofa, her posture was very moving.

Xia Xiang held her hand—just as before, it was smooth and flawless, like beautiful jade—and I couldn't help but think of my years in Ba County and said: "If you want to build a flower sea villa in Lang City and haven't been built, it's better to build a Tianze City with a natural grassland."

"Yes, I have thought about this for a long time, just because I am afraid that you will dislike us mother and son and will prevent you from finding a new love." Lian Ruohan said half-truely and half-falsely, and thought about Xia, "In your eyes, I am already old and yellow. I don't know how many women want to take the initiative to deliver it to you."

Xia Xiang suddenly looked indignant: "Soldiers can be killed but not humiliated. Although I am not Liu Xiahui, I am definitely not a disciple. Lian Ruohan, I solemnly warn you not to destroy my innocence again."

Lian Ruohan giggled: "Pretending, just pretending. The more you pretend, the more guilty you feel."

Xia Xiang had no choice: "Okay, I admit that I can arrange a young and beautiful nanny for each city party leader, but I'm useless..."

Lian Ruohan smiled even happier: "Okay, I didn't doubt you, so I didn't explain it so much." Xia Xiang let out a long sigh, thinking that he had finally passed, but she said something more, "When I met you in Ba County, I knew that you have a feminine relationship in your life, and there must be no shortage of women around you, but I also accepted my fate. Who made you my destiny nemesis? Women will always meet her nemesis in their lives, and then they will have to love and hate for the rest of their lives."

Xia Xiang smiled and said, "My old man is in good health recently?"

"It's not bad, but I seem to have some worries recently. I suspect he is thinking about you." Lian Ruohan's beautiful eyes were circling around Xia Xiang's face, "I think he is like you, both old and young, always playing puzzles. Either you perfunctorily or he plots against you, they are all family members, what can you say to the point of being clear?"

It is true that the family is a family, but they are all politicians, especially the old man spent his whole life thinking about others and plotting on others, so he could not speak clearly. And to be honest, Xia Xiang also believed that there was indeed a gap between him and the old man, not only the difference in political ideas, but also the gap in dealing with people and people.

The old man summoned him to Beijing and asked him to visit Lian Ruohan on the one hand, but on the other hand, he must still want to tell him the truth and beat him up. It should be that the old man had seen the clues and knew that his position was not firmly standing on the side of the family forces.

It's a headache. The old man is not easy to deal with, and now he is just an old man. When Wu Caiyang is dissatisfied with him again, the situation will be serious.

After lunch with Lian Ruohan, Xia Xiang came to Wu's house with Lian Ruohan at 3 pm.

Basically, the Wu family has already acknowledged that Xia Xiang is the son-in-law who the Wu family cannot disclose. When Xia Xiang and Lian Ruohan walked into the Wu family compound together, they suddenly had an absurd idea. Whether the matter between him and Lian Ruohan should be a secret secret. Cao Shuyan had already accepted the facts, but Cao Yongguo seemed to have never heard any news and never mentioned this.

In fact, Xia Xiang could also guess that it is impossible for him to know the truth at his father-in-law's level. He did not ask or mentioned it, which was actually equivalent to acquiescent facts. No matter how bad my father-in-law was, he was a politician. After seeing the filth of people in the officialdom, he probably even if he had any objections to him, he would still recognize his character.

Wu Caiyang was not there, and Wu Caihe was not there. Only the old man was at home, so Xia Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. He was not afraid of Wu Caiyang, but he was unwilling to face his cold face.

Lian Ruohan took Lian Xia upstairs to play tactfully. Xia Xiang talked to the old man in the study. When he saw the teapot being steamed, he picked up the pot and poured water: "The capital is still a little warmer than Tianze City, and Tianze City is too cold."

"I think you are not cold and have too much energy." The old man said with a smile, "The beginning is pretty good, steady and orderly, and small steps are much better than in Langshi. But after just a few steps slow, I want to run and move forward?"

Xia wanted to deliver the tea to the old man: "The tea should be hot before it tastes good. When the tea is cold, it will have no taste, and it will easily cause diarrhea."

"I don't object to drinking hot tea, but don't make the wrong tea. I'll give you Dahongpao and you don't drink it. You have to drink green tea. It's cold in winter, and drinking green tea is not good for your health." The old man took the tea and took a sip, but there was still a smile on his face.

Xia thought clearly that the old man still used tea to describe things to imply that his ideological tendencies were deviated.

"The current situation in Tianze City is not optimistic. We must make great efforts to break the deadlock and promote economic development." Xia Xiang brought the topic to Tianze. "Supporting private enterprises is also an attempt. Let's not talk about whether it is successful or not, at least we must work hard."

"Tianze City is not a city suitable for innovation. You can stay safe for two years. It would be great to make a transition. Retain your mind and straighten your future ideas. Don't make a quick move." The old man said, while opening the window and putting in the cold wind. "The air conditioner in winter makes people clear-headed. Tianze City is long in winter. There is a saying that goes - spring planting and summer growing, spring harvesting and winter hiding, which is to let you hide your edges and restrain your aura. You have no considerations in supporting private enterprises."

The old man's words are sometimes very subtle and sometimes very direct, all in the different contexts, mainly because of the fact that some things have been made clear, so there is no need to avoid them anymore.

"If the deadlock is not broken, I will keep my low profile every day, and the light will be restrained, and maybe bad luck will be formed." Xia Xiang joked, "Old man, with my current age, how can you not want to do a big career? When you were as old as me, you must have a greater ambition than me."

"The times are different. Back then, I was trying to make a big move. If I fight, it will be done. If I can't fight, it will be up to fate. You are different now. You don't have to bet. Isn't it good to stay safe for two years?" The old man patted Xia Xiang's shoulder intimately, "Anyway, it's a bit unprofitable to take steps upwards. If you do things, you have to pay attention to a risk index."

After all, I would like to advise Xia Xiang to be more cautious and not to do thankless things.

"Tianze City has a weak industrial foundation and poor foundation. State-owned enterprises cannot support it. It can only be relied on private enterprises to open up the situation." Xia Xiang knows that it is necessary to explain his ideas to the old man. It is too deep to reveal it, but some superficial ideas can still be exchanged. "The old man, like me, is actually from ordinary people, and has come to this day step by step. Although it is different from the level of ordinary people, there is a saying that goes well - if you live in a high temple, you will worry about the people. If you are an official, you will not benefit the people, do nothing, and have a simple meal. It is really not as good as a manure-cutting worker who can create value for society. My ideal is not great. At least within my ability, you can bring benefits to the people under your rule, and it is not in vain that the people call me mayor!"

Xia Xiang's words were very simple and touching, and the old man was slightly moved when he heard this.

However, the old man shook his head and said, "Tianze City is decades behind, and it cannot be changed overnight, nor can it be achieved by relying on the strength of you alone. The four companies have interests in Tianze City. Your policies will indirectly harm the interests of the four companies. Even if the Wu family turns a blind eye, the others will not let you keep it. If there is a handle that is caught and a big deal, and even I can't save you, what else do you want to do? I'm afraid I'll lose my hat."

The old man used the interests of the other three families to talk about his position and tendency between civilian forces and family forces. Xia Xiang knows that although the old man's tone was gentle, the two had not had a deep communication with each other. Most of them were just a simple taste, and they were all indifferent. Today, they were all on the surface, proving that the old man looked at this matter very carefully.

"There is one more thing..." The old man turned his back to Xia Xiang, and suddenly turned his body with a serious look on his face. "With the support of the Wu family, Xiao Xia will try his best to keep a distance from Song Chaodu in the future, because... I don't like him very much! And he is very likely to move."
