Chapter 787 - Meet, Win and Lose
The more Xia Xiang spoke calmly, the more the old thief was at a loss.
He knows the details of others, and he doesn't know much about Xia Xiang's details, but one thing is very clear, once he has a seizure, Xia Xiang is a ruthless character, and he is also terrified.
Not to mention, Xia Xiang is really a little similar to Oh Chen.
"Xia, Mayor Xia, I don't know that the patient is your relationship, if I knew, I would definitely not dare to treat it so roughly, wouldn't I? If you have a large number of people, don't be like me, and the patient will be sent to the intensive care unit immediately, and all the expenses will be covered by me...... Do you think so? The old thief's posture was low enough, accompanied by a smiling face, bent his face, and his attitude was respectful, which surprised Pei Guodong, because he had seen the attitude of the old thief in front of Gu Xiangguo, and he didn't even bend his waist much, where is the current smile and nodding his head? Before Xia Xiang could speak, he heard a slightly hoarse but absolutely very majestic voice from upstairs: "Old thief, you are not small, when will it be your turn to call the shots for such a big matter?" The old thief's face suddenly changed greatly, Xia Xiang was also shocked, and his intuition told him that the person who came was Oh Chen! …… When the old thief apologized to Xia Xiang and begged for mercy in a low voice, not to mention that Li Caiyuan was stunned, even Tang Hualai opened his mouth wide, shocked and didn't know why! Li Caiyuan naturally knew that the old thief was the most capable man under Oh Chen, and he was trusted by Oh Chen, and he was almost the incarnation of Oh Chen, as long as he came forward, it basically represented Oh Chen.
If the old thief had a respectful and polite attitude towards Xia Xiang, he would not have surprised Li Caiyuan, but the old thief's attitude was respectful and fearful, and it was even obvious that he was still in a low tone, which made him simply not believe the living facts in front of him.
In addition to being a little polite when he saw Ai Chengwen and Gu Xiangguo in Lang City, the old thief was also polite when he met other members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, but he could see at a glance that he was pretending, but now, even a blind man could see that the old thief was really respectful and polite to Xia Xiang, without pretending at all.
Mayor Xia is so powerful, he has only been in Lang City for a few days, why did he make the old thief soften? Tang Hualai was shocked not by the old thief's respect for Xia Xiang, but by the fact that he could see at a glance that the old thief's eyes were flickering and his head was sweating, which was obviously a sign of fear of Xia Xiang.
How can it be? The old thief was afraid of Xia Xiang like this, Mayor Xia didn't have horns on his head and wings on his back, how could he be like seeing the most terrible thing in the world in the eyes of the old thief? Tang Hualai was puzzled, in his eyes, there was more and more fog on Xia Xiang's body, and he subconsciously wavered: Mayor Xia has a background and skills, maybe he can really open up a world in Lang City, or else appropriately move closer to Mayor Xia? Then he denied his idea, no, wait and see.
The crowd of onlookers outside was also surprised by the scene just now, and everyone rushed to ask who Xia Xiang was.
When they heard that it was the newly appointed executive vice mayor, they all suddenly realized, and at the same time they all whispered, thinking that there would definitely be a major conflict between Xia Xiang and Oh Chen.
…… Oh Chen's voice came from upstairs, and the old thief didn't bother to say hello to Xia Xiang, turned around and went upstairs.
After a while, a few people came down from the upper floor, the current one, tall and mighty, but the face was very white, although he was in his 50s, he was very well maintained, and at first glance it seemed that he was only 40 years old.
And he was also born with a good official appearance, a straight nose and a square mouth, and a dignified appearance.
Although Xia Xiang had never seen Oh Chen, he could conclude at a glance from his vague resemblance to Jasmine that he was the famous Oh Chen.
I didn't expect the first time I met Oh Chen, it was in the hospital! However, what Xia Xiang didn't expect was that Oh Chen didn't come down alone, there was another person next to him, with a wide face and big ears, and his appearance was quite mighty, if it was different from Oh Chen's might, his figure was thinner and a little shorter than Oh Chen, the key was that Oh Chen's eyes were cold, and his eyes were cold.
Not to mention, the two stood together, and at first glance, they really looked like brothers! Oh Chen walked in front, and when he came down the stairs, his steps were slow.
From the moment he appeared, everyone held their breath and did not say a word, and his footsteps were very soft, although light, but every step was like a thousand pounds, and it struck everyone's heart hard.
Even the crowd watching the excitement outside was silent, and even a child was so frightened that he cried out loud, and his parents covered his mouth - oh, Chen Zhiwei, majestic! Xia Xiang didn't know the person behind him, but as soon as the person behind him saw Xia Xiang, he immediately narrowed his eyes, faintly revealing a look of anger and uneasiness.
He deliberately slowed down his pace and landed behind Oh Chen, but his eyes were fixed on Xia Xiang, and the expression on his face changed a few times, not knowing what to think.
If Natsu wanted to know who he was, he would be surprised! Oh, Chen walked with steady steps, went straight to Xia Xiang, with a straight face, and looked at Xia Xiang for half a minute, without saying a word.
Oh Chen didn't speak, Xia Xiang didn't speak, just a smile on his face, and he stared straight at Oh Chen.
The two faced each other, but they were only two meters away.
The two of them didn't speak, and the crowd around them was frighteningly quiet, so quiet that they could hear a pin.
It's just a few tens of seconds, and in many people's feelings, it's as long as a day.
Because Xia Xiang and Oh Chen were relatively speechless, but they brought huge coercion to the people around them.
Finally, I just listened to Oh Chen Haha smiled, and opened his mouth first: "I have long heard my baby daughter say that Mayor Xia is handsome and chic, not only has the talent of Song Yu, but also the appearance of Pan An, I still don't believe it, I always think that the little girl has no vision, I saw it with my own eyes today, and sure enough, it is really a talent."
Mayor Xia, contemptible Chen, nicknamed Oh Chen. ”
Oh, although Chen spoke first, as if he had lost a move first, he finished introducing himself and stretched out his hand to Xia Xiang with a smile on his face - generally speaking, at Xia Xiang's level, unless he meets with a superior leader, he must wait for the leader to reach out first, and the CEOs of various enterprises in this city, no matter how strong their assets are, they must wait for him to take the initiative to reach out before they dare to shake hands.
The rule in officialdom is that people with a higher level of official status take the initiative to reach out first.
And right now, oh Chen, deliberately reached out first, obviously because he was proud of his identity, Gao Xia wanted to wait! It is obviously a blatant provocation! Li Caiyuan was stunned, and Tang Hualai was also stunned.
Both of them clearly remembered that Oh Chen once used the method of reaching out to shake hands first, and tested several members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, regardless of whether several people shook hands with him at that time, and finally reluctantly accepted the fact that they met him passively shook hands in the future.
Now, Oh Ne's old tricks are repeated, and he also wants to challenge Xia Xiang's bottom line.
Everyone's eyes widened, looking at what Xia wanted to do, shaking hands? Or don't grip? A handshake is equivalent to losing a move in momentum.
If you don't hold it, it is equivalent to rejecting Oh Chen's olive branch in person, and maybe it will make Oh Chen angry.
What a dilemma.
Xia Xiang was stunned for a moment, of course he knew Oh Chen's intentions, first opened his mouth as if he was taking a step back, and then took the initiative to stretch out his hand to him, and put on a high posture, virtual and real, the first to look at the face, and in front of the public, he had to admit, Oh Chen, this person, scheming is deep and unfathomable.
However, Xia Xiang only hesitated for a moment, and even in the eyes of outsiders, he didn't seem to hesitate, his right hand stretched out, and he held it tightly with Oh Chen's right hand: "It turned out to be Mr. Chen, hehe, I've heard Mr. Chen's name for a long time, but I didn't expect to meet in the hospital...... Fortunately, fortunately! "Xia wants to accept the fact that Chen is strong? Not only Li Caiyuan turned his head suddenly, but even Tang Hualai shook his head secretly, another member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee who was about to be dragged into the water or assimilated by Oh Chen, and thought that Mayor Xia had a lot of personality and ability, but he didn't expect that in the end, he was still intimidated by Oh Chen's strength.
Oh Chen haha, very satisfied and cheerfully smiled: "It is indeed a lucky meeting, a rare lucky meeting!" And I just heard that there was a little misunderstanding? Who provoked Mayor Xia just now? Tell me, I'm good at criticizing them. ”
Xia Xiang is not the one who takes the opportunity to sue, and he will not be as knowledgeable as the little minions under Oh Chen, so he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, since it was a misunderstanding, the matter is over." ”
Xia Xiang was slightly stunned when he was talking to Oh Chen, because he noticed that the person who followed Oh Chen downstairs did not go down to the hall, but stood in the middle of the stairs and refused to come down.
If he doesn't come down, he doesn't have the idea of knowing what kind of person he is, but the strange thing is that this person stares at him closely, his eyes and posture, as if he knows him.
I don't know this person...... Oh, Chen obviously didn't mean to introduce this person, he also noticed Xia Xiang's gaze drifting to the companions behind him, pretending not to see it, and not to say anything, but to say, "This patient is Mayor Xia's relationship?" Xia Xiang nodded slightly: "I took care of President Pei and was admitted to the People's Hospital, but unfortunately he was kicked out." ”
Oh, Chen feigned anger and said, "Old thief, what are you going to do? Why don't you ask whose relationship it is before driving people away? Mayor Xia's people dare to be driven out, do you have a long brain? Remember, in the future, as long as it is Mayor Xia's business, he will give way, do you hear? "The old thief has followed Chen for many years, oh, Chen is really angry or acting, can he not know? hurriedly ran over with a smile on his face: "Yes, yes, Mr. Chen, I have apologized to Mayor Xia just now, and I also said that the medical expenses are all ......" "No!" Oh, Chen Yi waved his hand and interrupted the old thief's words, "Not only will the medical expenses be paid, but someone will also be sent to take care of the patient."
Also, Dean Pei, patients should be treated with the best expert consultation, the best imported medicine, don't be afraid to spend money, the cost is all counted in the account of the excellent company, that is, the strength of the whole hospital is used, and the patient must be saved! Pei Guodong had no choice but to nod, the situation in front of him did not allow him to say anything.
He could also see that it was Xia Xiang and Oh Chen who were making a move, as long as they didn't hurt the pond fish, whatever they said was anything.
Oh, after Commander Chen finished his order, he almost became the center of the audience, completely covering up Xia Xiang's light, and he was still very proud in his heart, what he wanted was the effect of letting Xia Xiang be overpowered by him.
Then he asked Xia Xiang very lightly: "Mayor Xia, this arrangement,...... Are you satisfied? Fortunately, he also gave Xia Xiang some face and used honorifics.
Everyone thinks that Chen Qian is condescending, earning enough face, and giving Xia Xiang enough steps, how can Xia Xiang not laugh at it? Unexpectedly, Xia Xiang smiled and waved his hand lightly: "Thank you Mr. Chen for your kindness, in fact, Comrade Caiyuan and I came over just to pick up the patient and transfer him to the hospital." ”
Don't give face or do you really want to transfer to the hospital? Oh, Chen was stunned for a moment, and asked in disbelief: "Don't believe in the medical level of Lang City?" Want to transfer to Tsubame? It's not that I'm boasting, Mayor Xia, the medical level of Lang City is not much worse than Yan City.
If you want to transfer to another hospital, it is better to transfer to a hospital in Beijing, just right, I have a friend from Beijing, he can help you contact the major hospitals in Beijing, you can choose. ”
As he spoke, everything was in control of the momentum at a glance.
The person who walked with Oh Chen is from the capital? Xia Xiang glanced at the people behind him again, and the doubts in his heart intensified.
But it's still important to deal with it in front of him, he smiled and waved his hand: "It's still not bothering Mr. Chen, the patient is going to be transferred to the hospital in the capital, but I have already contacted the hospital." ”
Oh, Chen's face was not very good-looking, he thought that Xia Xiang's passive handshake just now was a sign of accepting his strength, but he didn't expect that Xia Xiang had a follow-up move, so his desire to further completely gain the upper hand was frustrated, and he couldn't help but feel unhappy, but he still asked calmly: "I don't know which hospital Mayor Xia wants to arrange for the patient to go to?" The capital is not all good hospitals. ”
"General Politics."
Xia Xiang just replied simply, deliberately dialed the phone in front of Oh Chen, and motioned to Oh Chen, "Please wait a minute, Mr. Chen, I will talk to the capital." ”
Oh Chen smiled and nodded, but he was very unhappy in his heart, Xia Xiang obviously rejected his kindness first, and then deliberately snubbed him.
In the end, I still despised him, thinking that he was young and easy to bully, but I didn't expect him to have a lot of means, and he was still advancing in a hurry, and he was really an extremely difficult young man to deal with.
Xia Xiang's phone was connected as soon as he called, his voice was not loud, but it was enough for Oh Chen to hear clearly: "Old Gu, I'm Xia Xiang, did I send someone to escort the patient over, or did you send someone to answer it?" In fact, Xia Xiang did not say in advance that he would send Shen Lexue to the capital for medical treatment, but decided to transfer Shen Lexue to the capital and let Lao Gu take care of one or two, which is safe and secure, and the medical conditions are much better than those in Lang City.
Li Caiyuan couldn't say a word, holding his unconscious wife's hand tightly, tears filled with tears.
Although Lao Gu didn't get Xia Xiang's hint in advance, Xia Xiang suddenly called him brainlessly to ask him to pick up someone, and he didn't have to think about it to know that Xia Xiang had the intention of borrowing him, so he said: "I'll send someone to pick it up, which hospital is in Lang City?" Helicopter or military vehicle? "Municipal People's Hospital...... It is enough to pick up by military vehicles, the capital is not far from Lang City, and the helicopter is not much faster. ”
Xia wanted to see Lao Gu Ting cooperating with his acting, and he was relieved, but there was truth in the false, but it was not just talking, "It's okay to arrange a high-level cadre ward, right?" The patient's situation is a bit peculiar. ”
Lao Gu heard that it was true, so he said: "No problem, within an hour, go to the People's Hospital on time." ”
Putting down the phone, Xia Xiang smiled apologetically at Oh Chen: "I'm sorry Mr. Chen, the capital will send someone to pick it up in a while, and I will take it for Caiyuan for your kindness." ”
Oh, Chen's eyes flashed, how could he not understand that Xia Xiang was directly sending the patient to the capital, showing him the fact that Xia Xiang also had enough connections in the capital, even if he was calling for wind and rain in Lang City, he couldn't help Xia Xiang send people to the capital.
Oh, Chen is unwilling, today is a rare good opportunity to test Xia Xiang, the first move is very important, it is related to the major confrontation between him and Xia Xiang, who can have the upper hand and the initiative.
"Since Mayor Xia has already made arrangements, I won't be reluctant."
Oh, Chen waved his hand casually, with a nonchalant attitude, "Then there is no misunderstanding between us now, but there is still an account that has not been calculated before, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, it is rare to meet today, I am the east, and I invite Mayor Xia to appreciate the light." ”
Xia wanted to see Oh Chen chased after him, thinking that it was time to sit with him, so he agreed: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, it's my honor for Mr. Chen to open his mouth to invite."
However, my secretary Li Caiyuan and Deputy Secretary-General Tang are also going together, so Mr. Chen doesn't mind adding two more pairs of chopsticks, right? "Welcome."
Oh, Chen Ting gave face, he didn't hesitate at all, he changed his usual, with the level of Li Caiyuan and Tang Hualai, it was not in his eyes, and he had no chance to be on an equal footing with him at all.
Xia Xiang pretended to think about it, and pointed at Shen Lexue with his hand: "By the way, Mr. Chen should know her, right?" If you don't know her, her husband Li Caiyuan, you should have heard of it too? Oh, Chen's face remained unchanged, his eyes were as calm as water, he glanced at Shen Lexue, his eyes stayed on Li Caiyuan's body for a few seconds, and then shook his head: "I really don't know the two." ”
Xia Xiang didn't ask anything more, listening to Chen's expression didn't look like pretending, of course he wasn't sure if he was pretending or not, maybe it was possible that Chen Zhen didn't know Shen Lexue, but if he said that he didn't know Li Caiyuan at all, Xia thought clearly, he lied.
A farce ended peacefully, which relieved the frightened onlookers outside.
In the crowd, there was one person who not only did not take a breath, but poured a breath of cool air, it was none other than Ling Hubai, who came after Xia Xiang.
Linghu Baijian Xia wanted to fight with Oh Chen, each with a victory or defeat, but in the end, there were signs of shaking hands and making peace, and he was worried.
didn't dare to show up, but turned around and got into the car and went straight to the municipal party committee.
The news that Xia Xiang and Oh Chen are going to sit down for dinner together is too shocking, and he wants to tell Ai Chengwen as soon as possible.
Xia Xiang didn't know that Ling Hu Bai was also mixed in the crowd, he followed Oh Chen to the Caesar Hotel, and after arriving at the most luxurious private room, he remembered that he hadn't seen the person who had just gone downstairs with Oh Chen, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this person had a lot to do with him.
Just as he was wondering, Oh Chen came in from outside, followed by that person.
Oh, Chen smiled as soon as he entered the room: "Mayor Xia, I want to introduce you to an old friend ......"
