Xia Xiang is the descendant of the Wu family, Xia Xiang is still Cao Yongguo's son-in-law, and Yi Xiangshi is about to team up with Cao Yongguo. I also want to learn about Cao Yongguo's personality from Xia Xiang's mouth, and take the opportunity to release kindness to Cao Yongguo.

Yi Xiangshi's character is relatively modest, honest, and pays attention to harmony in everything, and can be regarded as a moderate among the Wu family's forces.

Xia wanted to meet with Yi Xiangshi, and the conversation was not long. When Yi Xiangshi knocked on the side and asked Cao Yongguo about his personality, he replied with a smile: "I have known my father-in-law for so long. He never criticized me, nor did he ever scold anyone. ”

Yi Xiangshi understood, and said with a smile: "I don't have a daughter, if I have a daughter, I will also educate her, so that when she is looking for a partner, she will be on par with you." ”

When you finally shake hands and say goodbye. Xia Xiang said casually: "Minister Yi. Director Ye happens to be in charge of the Ministry of Commerce.... …”

Ye Shisheng is now a state councilor, a member of the party group of the State Council, and director of the Office of the Central Leading Group for Foreign Affairs, so Xia wants to call him Director Ye. Ye Shisheng and Yi Xiangshi were classmates, and they had discords and conflicts before. So Xia didn't want to mention it much. Only a little bit.

Yi Xiangshi nodded: "After Director Ye came to the capital, he was more low-key and pragmatic than before, I just invited him to a meal a few days ago, and I laughed when I talked about the arguments between my former classmates. said that he was young and vigorous back then, and he was still fighting for national affairs, which is ridiculous when he thinks about it. ”

Xia thought about it, although Yi Xiangshi and Ye Shisheng did not meet each other and laughed at each other, but it was not as good as before, too, although Ye Shisheng served as a state councilor. But after one term, he will definitely retire, and there is no need to worry about any differences in governing philosophy, after all, he is not a feudal official.

After people reach a certain level, they will see the reality clearly, and they will have a lot less obsession.

"What, you want to meet Director Ye?" Yi Xiangshi guessed Xia Xiang's intentions as soon as he guessed.

"Isn't it convenient?" Xia Xiang didn't hide it, he had a good impression of Yi Xiangshi. I also know that Yi Xiangshi is a trustworthy leader and elder.

Yi Xiangshi raised his hand and looked at his watch: "I'll ask Director Ye if he has time. It's noon, so it's best to have a meal together. ”

Accompanied by Yi Xiangshi, the effect will be much better. Yi Xiangshi said to eat together, obviously to give Xia Xiang a face. Xia Xiang was secretly grateful to Master Yi Xiang. However, he also knew that just by virtue of his friendship with the Wu family. It is not enough to let Yi Xiangshi come forward to accompany him personally, and he also has to thank his father-in-law for his face.

Anyway. Father-in-law will become the governor of a province, and the country is capable of cutting many provincial-level administrative regions, and he has already entered the top political figure sequence in the country, with his current age. After serving as a provincial governor. Taking over as secretary of the provincial party committee is not a big problem. If there is another opportunity, it is even possible to enter the ranks of national leaders.

The western province is also a large resource province in the traditional sense. The prime minister made his father-in-law the governor of the province, with far-reaching intentions.

A moment later, Yi Xiangshi finished the call. With a smile on his face: "Xia Xiang, you have a lot of face, as soon as Director Ye heard that you were coming, he immediately turned down the entertainment, and said that he would invite you to dinner......"

Xia Xiang smiled humbly: "Director Ye misses the old. It is my old leader, and I also miss Secretary Ye's days in Yan Province. ”

At noon, Xia Xiang got on Yi Xiangshi's special car and went to the Great Wall Hotel. I thought that I would arrive one step earlier and wait for Director Ye, but I didn't expect Ye Shisheng to arrive in advance, waiting for Xia Xiang and Yi Xiangshi with the dignity of a dignified state councilor, not to mention Xia Xiang, even Yi Xiangshi was a little flattered.

In the officialdom, he pays attention to some details and etiquette, and Yi Xiangshi also knows that with his face, he will not let Ye Shisheng wait in person, Ye Shisheng's move is to exalt Xia Xiang, so he can't help but look at Xia Xiang a few more times, and he is puzzled, it seems that Ye Shisheng and Xia Xiang don't have much contact with each other when they are in Yan Province. Why do you value Xia Xiang so much?

Yi Xiangshi's incomprehension was not unreasonable, and Xia Xiang was also very surprised by Ye Shisheng's enthusiasm. After thinking about it again, I understood something, Ye Shisheng was indeed a person with a temperament, nostalgic for the old, and he had several cooperation with him when he was in Yan Province. With gratitude.

Ye Shisheng's move also made Xia Xiang sigh slightly. In the officialdom, how many people can still retain a nostalgic heart after reaching the level of secretary of the provincial party committee? The official god bar is provided by the city.

Ye Shisheng is slightly older than when he was in Yan Province, but his mental state is not bad, if he does not serve as the secretary of the provincial party committee, there are not so many things to worry about, and his mood will naturally stretch a lot.

Ye Shisheng took the initiative to shake hands with Xia Xiang, and complained: "Xiao Xia, I have to criticize you a few words, from Yanshi to Tianze, you have to pass by the capital every time, you remember to go to Xiangshi, but you don't come to me, do you have an opinion on me?" It's okay to have an opinion, meet and mention it in person. ”

Xia Xiang smiled respectfully: "Director Ye's criticism is right, I accept your criticism." The main thing is that I have seen the outside, and I always feel that you are now the leader of the country, and I am afraid that I will not be able to climb high. ”

Ye Shisheng patted Xia Xiang's shoulder: "Young man, it's good to be young." He looked infinitely emotional, but shook his head with a smile. Eat, eat, and the people take food as their day. ”

When he arrived at the sub-private room, after sitting down separately, he said a few words of gossip, because Yi Xiangshi was present, and after a few words, he deliberately spoke to Xia Xiang, and mentioned Tianze's traffic dilemma.

When Ye Shisheng heard this, his face sank, but he didn't answer, but looked at Xia Xiang.

Xia wanted to know that Ye Shisheng was a little unhappy, and he didn't expect Yi Xiangshi to cut to the chase, which made Ye Shisheng feel like he was being used. Yi Xiangshi still doesn't know Ye Shisheng very well. Ye Shisheng remembered the old days, he hoped that others would come to see him based on human feelings, not because he had to come because of something, so he was very smart and diverted the topic: "The Xiama River is rippling now. There are many villas on the riverbank, and Director Ye wants to go on vacation or recuperate, so he can go over at any time. The people of the dismount district. Thinking of your goodness, they said that you are the most effective secretary of Yan Province, and you have done many practical and good things for the people. ”

Ye Shisheng showed a smile again: "I have long wanted to go back to the dismount area to have a look, but unfortunately I am too busy and have no time. Ha ha. After I stepped down, I went to the dismount area to retire. ”

Speaking of the dismount area. And then to the Xiama River. Ye Shisheng's interest rose again.

Yi Xiangshi watched from the sidelines. secretly admired, and only then did he understand why Ye Shisheng valued Xia Xiang so much, because Xia Xiang's words could always reach his heart.

When the dinner was about to end, Ye Shisheng just remembered the same thing and asked: "I heard that the highway and high-speed rail in Tianze City. Having trouble? ”

Xia Xiang nodded and said honestly: "The third phase of the high-speed project has not been completed. High-speed rail is only mentioned once, and there is no follow-up. The traffic problem is currently the biggest problem plaguing the development of Tianze City, as the old leader of Yan Province, Director Ye is also very clear about the root knot of Tianze, now Tianze has absorbed 3 billion funds, if the traffic problem is solved, the introduction of 10 billion investment is not a big problem. ”

"Tianze and the charter are the two stubborn diseases in Yan Province, and the province has always had a headache. It's not easy for you to get an investment of more than 3 billion yuan as soon as you go over. Ye Shisheng's face showed a slightly contemplative expression, "Li Hanning happens to be in charge of the highway...... I'll come forward and talk to him to see if I can tilt it a little bit. I have feelings for Yan Province ......"

"Yan Province has more feelings for Secretary Ye." Xia Xiang sent it in time, and also changed his name to Secretary Ye, which made Ye Shisheng even more emotional.

"If you have time, you must go back to Yan City to see, Yan City is a good place, the people are simple, don't look at the income is not very high, but the happiness index of the masses is high."

Ye Shisheng is really right, a few years later, an institution did a survey, and the happiness index of the people of Yan City ranked first in the country.

After the meal, Xia Xiang did not stop in the capital, and immediately returned to Tianze.

Before Xia Xiang came back, the news that the meeting on the integration of steel was not ideal had already reached Tianze, which immediately caused a lot of discussion in Tianze.

Chen Jiewen's office.

Zhan Jinpeng sat at the bottom and reported to Chen Jiewen the basic situation of Fu Xianxian's investment in the traditional Chinese medicine base. After the investment was temporarily put on hold, Fu Xianxian left Tianyi first, and there was no follow-up. Mayor Xia didn't ask about it, it seemed that the thunder was heavy and the rain was small, could it be that the Fu family let it go?

The deadlock in traffic has not been broken, Zhan Jinpeng is a little frustrated, Chen Jiewen objected and persuaded him not to rush, to take his time, the local work is that everything has many obstacles, and ten things can be done five things are considered a great success.

Chen Jiewen's tone is kind and encouraging, which is not only from the position of the leader to guide the work ideas. As an elder, he also expressed concern and condolences to Zhan Jinpeng's life, which made Zhan Jinpeng's heart warm, and he narrowed the distance between him and Secretary Chen.

What Chen Jiewen wants is to win over Zhan Jinpeng and subdue him. Seeing that the time had come, he said again: "The relationship between the President of the State and the Minister of Communications and Communications is not bad, I think it is convenient to ask the President to say hello......

President Guo naturally refers to Guo Hanqing, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, vice chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and deputy secretary of the leading party group.

Zong Jieying, Minister of Communications and Communications, also knew Zhan Jinpeng. Knowing is knowing, and you can't speak. He couldn't ask his dad to come forward to say hello, and it seemed that he was too unskilled.

The key is still. Dad and Zong Jieying don't seem to have any friendship.

It would be great if Secretary Chen could ask Dong Guohanqing to come forward, and if Minister Zong nodded, it would definitely be easy to say. Although it is said that the high-speed rail project belongs to the Ministry of Railways, the Ministry of Communications and Communications and the Ministry of Railways are not separated, and the Minister of Zong has spoken, which is also influential.

Zhan Jinpeng was not only grateful to Chen Jiewen, but also moved. He also knew that Chen Jiewen was trying to win him over, but Chen Jiewen was the secretary and had no conflict of interest with him, who did he not follow in the footsteps of Secretary Chen?

It's just that what Chen Jiewen and Zhan Jinpeng didn't expect was that Xia Xiang also invited Ye Shisheng in the capital to come forward and invite Li Hanning, deputy minister of the Ministry of Communications and Communications. In fact, Chen Jiewen and Xia Xiang are based on the same mind, and at the same time breaking the game for Tianze. Win over Zhan Jinpeng!

Who's going to have the last laugh?

The situation suddenly became very delicate.
