Chapter 774: Taking office, accident
At the beginning of learning that Xia Xiang was going to Lang City to take office, Cao Shumu was inseparable, without him, just because since she and Xia Xiang knew each other and fell in love and got married, there was really not much time to separate from Xia Xiang. Especially after marriage, the two are even more together, at first glance when she heard that Xia Xiang was going to Lang City, she thought of being separated from Xia Xiangtian, and her heart was full of sorrow.
Originally, she also wanted to go to Lang City with Xia Xiang, but Xia Xiang did not agree, and persuaded her to take care of the children and take care of the company in Yan City with peace of mind, and then consider Lang City to live with him when he settles down in Lang City. Cao Shumu is not an ordinary woman, she grew up in the family of the official eunuch since she was a child, and she knows that Xia wants to go to Lang City, she has a long road ahead, she is not familiar with life, and she does not bring her family, but also to adapt to the change of role as soon as possible without burden, and at the same time, it is also necessary to observe the situation in Lang City and then make a decision on whether to settle down in Lang City.
Cao Shumu is not very clear about the specific situation of Lang City, she is not very concerned about politics, if it weren't for Xia Xiang being a person in the officialdom and only having a high-ranking father, she might not pay attention to some boring news. But since Xia Xiang decided to transfer to Lang City, she also secretly collected a lot of information about Lang City, and she also had a general understanding of Lang City's economy and politics.
However, she is a layman after all. The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway. In her eyes, Lang City has a good geographical location, it is very close to Beijing and Tianjin, the climate is mild, although the area is not large, the economy is not very developed, but the middle city is the most suitable for qualifications, and she is relieved.
Naturally, Xia Xiangcai would not tell Cao Shumu about the hidden danger of the seemingly gentle Lang City, and it is better to bear some things by yourself, and don't let your women worry about it anymore.
When it comes to women, there are really a lot of women who worry about Xia Xiang.
Needless to say, even Ruohan's political consciousness is higher than Cao Shumu's, but it is also limited, so Xia Xiang is the happiest when she thinks of Lang City, because Xia Xiang is much closer to her. She decided to let Envision Group share some of her energy, and when the time is ripe, go to Lang City to develop, firstly, to help Xia Xiang and create political achievements for Xia Xiang, and secondly, she can also use the power of Envision Group to create a love nest between her and Xia Xiang in Lang City.
Lian Ruohan likes to build a house the most, and the lotus house in Yan City has left her with too many good memories, the only pity is that the waterscape villa on the bank of the Xiama River has not been built, and Xia Xiang left the Xiama District.
Then it would be good to have a new home in Lang City, less than an hour away from the capital, which is too convenient and happy.
Lian Ruohan's happiness, Xia wants to understand.
Xiao Jia's happiness, Xia Xiang also understands. Xiao Jia gave birth to a daughter, and it was the last moment in the dismount area, when the battle was in full swing, Xia Xiang still took the time to visit Xiao Jia in the capital. The daughter's name is Xiao Xia, which is naturally meant to commemorate the two surnames.
Xiao Xia is white and beautiful, and she was praised by many nurses as soon as she was born, saying that she would be captivating when she grew up, and it was rare to see such a beautiful child when she was born...... Xia Xiang was also very happy, and Xiao Jia was even more happy to shed tears, but she had a regret that she couldn't give birth to a son, and she always felt that her son could better inherit her career. Fortunately, Xia Xiang didn't care if it was a son or a daughter, but comforted her.
With Li Han and Cong Feng'er taking care of Xiao Jia, Xia Xiang was very relieved. Cong Feng'er is quite careful, Li Qinsheng is doing things with a clear eye and will not make mistakes, and the two cooperate to complement each other. Although in Xia Xiang's opinion, in terms of taking care of people, Li Qin and Cong Feng'er together are not as good as a Wei Xin.
Xiao Jia didn't have any thoughts about Xia wanting to go to Lang City to take office, but she felt that Lang City was very close to the capital, and she was also happy. Li Han had a slight regret, because her career had just started in the dismount area, but Xia Xiang was leaving, which made her inevitably melancholy and lost. Cong Feng'er didn't have any ideas at all, she only had respect and appreciation for Xia Xiang.
Mei Xiaolin had already gone to Xiangjiang Province to take office, and she also called Xia Xiang before leaving. After Xia Xiang heard the news of going to Lang City, she also congratulated Xia Xiang for the first time: "Lang City is expected to become the first stop in the Dajing City Economic Circle, your luck is here." As soon as you go to the ancient country, you will be the mayor. ”
Mei Xiaolin's vision has improved a lot compared to before, and she can see the potential advantages of Lang City, but she predicted that Xiang Guguo would leave, but Xia Xiang was not optimistic, Xiang Guguo had only served as the mayor of Lang City for more than a year, and it was when she was ready to show her strength, how could she leave? Besides, if you don't want to go to the ancient country, you still want to replace Ai Chengwen and be promoted to the top of Lang City on the spot.
Xia Xiang didn't talk to Mei Xiaolin about the future questions, but just explained a few words to her to take care, and asked about Mei Ting's situation before hanging up the phone.
Mei Ting stayed in the capital, and Mei Xiaolin also wanted to wait for her to gain a firm foothold in Xiang City before considering taking Mei Ting over. So she called Xia Xiang, and she also hoped that Xia Xiang would take time to visit Meiting in the capital more.
Compared with several other people who are reluctant or nostalgic or regretful, only Gu Yu is the most heartless, she heard that Xia wanted to go to Lang City, so she only had one reaction: "Okay, if you go to Lang City to play in the future, you will have a place to eat and live for free." ”
Eat and live? Because she could figure it out, Xia Xiang simply had nothing to say. However, it is Gu Yu's simplicity that does not make people feel tired, but loves her more.
The relationship between Yan Xiao and Xia Xiang has not been too relaxed. Xia wanted to leave the dismount area, but she didn't react much, just made a phone call and lightly congratulated her.
Compared with Yan Xiao's indifference, Wei Xin seemed to be a little too enthusiastic, and the first thing she said when she called was: "Hey, I studied the economy of Lang City, and I think it is better to invest in the printing industry in Lang City, can you wait for you to help me pay more attention to the current situation of the printing industry?" ”
Lang City is known as the hometown of printing, the city has a total of 1,600 printing enterprises of all kinds, fixed asset investment, output value, profits and taxes grow at a rate of more than 15 per year, the comprehensive strength of Lang City printing industry ranks first in the province. The Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government have listed the printing industry as one of the eight pillar industries in the city.
Xia wanted to understand Wei Xin's psychology of balancing public and private interests, but he still politely rejected her: "Now is not the time, when the opportunity is right, let's talk about it." ”
Wei Xin also heard Xia Xiang's perfunctory meaning, but he was not annoyed, and smiled: "Don't worry, I'm patient." ”
Xia Xiang was speechless, but what he knew was that he was more patient.
……
Xia Xiang wanted to have a good rest on the 14th and accompany his wife and children, but he was unexpectedly told by Mei Shengping to leave early, and he was stunned, and then he also figured out a little, it is also a good thing to leave early, and it is also troublesome to save the scene of greeting and sending. It's okay to leave quietly, anyway, with the organization minister of the provincial party committee as an accompaniment, just say that it is Mei Shengping's arrangement, and you can also block the mouth of the people.
Xia Xiang confessed to Cao Shumu, and Cao Shumu also understood Xia Xiang's distress, didn't say anything, and nodded in agreement.
It stands to reason that if Xia wants to say goodbye, there should be a grand farewell ceremony in Xiama District, and important people from the municipal party committee should come forward to see him off. However, the municipal party committee has already announced the decision to transfer to the city at the plenary meeting of the Xiama District, and whether there is anyone to see him off is just a formality. Xia thought about it for a while, and still notified Hu Zengzhou by phone.
Hu Zengzhou smiled: "Since it is Minister Mei's arrangement, just listen to his arrangement, and as for the municipal party committee, I can explain it." Everyone knows Minister Mei's personality......"
With Hu Peizhou's understanding, Xia Xiang didn't have too many ideas, and after packing up his things, he embarked on the journey with Mei Shengping.
What Xia Xiang didn't expect was that he thought that he would leave quietly and no one would see him off, and he didn't want to and didn't know who leaked the news, when Mei Shengping's special car passed by the Xiamahe Bridge, he saw many people pouring out of the district committee, and many workers and citizens lined up on both sides of the road, as if they had long known that the special car was going to pass by here.
Everyone was looking forward to it, their expressions were focused, and their expressions were reluctant.
As soon as the car got on the bridge, suddenly the crowd rushed up, surrounding Mei Shengping's special car. Mei Shengping and Xia Xiang sat side by side in the back seat, and he patted Xia Xiang on the shoulder: "My dignified head of the Provincial Party Committee Organization, I was compared to you today without face, you have to find a way to return it in the future, you know?" Okay, get out of the car and say goodbye, don't delay too long, rush to Lang City early, there are still things to do. ”
Xia Xiang knew that Mei Shengping set off a day earlier, and there must be something else to hide from him. No matter what, just let him arrange it, who made him the head of the organization of the provincial party committee?
I don't know who revealed the news? Xia Xiang shook his head helplessly and got out of the car. As soon as he got out of the car, a burst of cheers erupted in the crowd: "Secretary Xia is good!" ”
"Secretary Xia!"
"Is it really Secretary Xia? Secretary Xia, the dismounted area needs you, can't you go if you don't go? ”
"Secretary Xia, you can't go, all of us don't want you to leave the dismount area."
Countless shouts and expectant gazes were intertwined, making Xia Xiang's eyes moist.
For the sake of the official, for the benefit of one party, how many officials in their minds, there will be a hunting for the country and the people of the banner fluttering, but after many people enter the big dye vat of officialdom, they gradually lose their nature, gradually lose themselves, indulge in power and struggle, immersed in the desire for money and power, once ideals and ambitions, are shattered by reality, or in desperation are abandoned to unknown corners.
To put it bluntly, officialdom is vanity fair, right and wrong, who can adhere to ethics in the intricacies of officialdom? Who can still change his enthusiasm and ideals of serving the country and the people five or ten years after entering the officialdom? I'm afraid that few people can really do it, after all, many times it is not that they don't want to serve the people, but when they are with the light and dust, they are dyed with mixed colors, and they can no longer find the original pure colors.
Xia Xiang waved at everyone: "Comrades, fellow villagers, and worker brothers, whether I am still working in the Xiama District or not, I am still me, and I will not change." Maybe one day I will come back to visit you, and I hope to see you build a better area and your life will be happier! ”
The crowd was excited, and many people stepped forward to shake hands with Xia Xiang. Xia Xiang didn't want to disappoint everyone, so he shook hands with every enthusiastic hand stretched out one by one, and he lost a lot of time.
Mei Shengping impatiently asked the driver to urge Xia Xiang in the car, it's too childlike, just leave, what kind of hand do you hold? It was also because Xia Xiang's prestige in the dismounted area was too high and his reputation was too loud, so he had to leave early.
Mei Shengping didn't know whether to be happy or sorry for Xia Xiang, he didn't like any grand farewell and welcome scenes, and as soon as Xia Xiang got in the car, he smiled: "In officialdom, the last thing you need is to mingle with the people, it's better to be the number one, and if you serve as a deputy, it will make others suspicious and suspect your motives." ”
Xia Xiang also knew Mei Shengping's reminder, so he smiled: "People are in officialdom, and they can't help themselves." In the same way, people are involuntary among the people. ”
Mei Shengping saw that Xia Xiang didn't listen to his persuasion, so he didn't say anything more, and told the driver to hurry as soon as possible, and strive to rush to Lang City before noon.
Get on the highway and head north. After more than 100 kilometers, turn east. After moving forward for a while, I suddenly encountered a temporary repair of the high-speed and closed the road section, so I had to get off the highway and go around to Cangshi to take the national highway.
Along the way, Mei Shengping didn't talk much, as if he was pondering something, Xia Xiang didn't bother him, thinking about things in his heart, and looked out the window. In November in Yan Province, most of the province has entered winter, the fields are desolate, except for the distant villages, there is really no scenery to see outside the window.
Mei Shengping didn't say why he wanted to go to Lang City a day earlier, whether he wanted to pay a private visit to Weifu, or did he want to have other plans? He didn't know what to say, and Xia didn't want to ask. It was deliberately arranged by the superior leaders, anyway, when Mei Shengping wanted to say it, he would inevitably take the initiative to reveal it.
I thought I could rush to Lang City at noon, but I didn't want to go to the national highway at high speed, and the speed dropped immediately, and it was estimated that I would definitely not be able to catch up at noon. Mei Shengping proposed to have dinner in Cangshi at noon and then hurry after the meal.
Xia Xiang had no objection.
Cangshi is located between Lang City and Yan City, with a larger area than Lang City, and a medium economy, which is neither outstanding nor backward. The biggest feature of Cangshi is that the whole people are good at martial arts, and it has the title of the hometown of martial arts.
When I was about to arrive in Cangshi, I suddenly encountered a car accident.
Due to its proximity to the Bohai Sea, there are farms on both sides of the road that have been introduced into the seawater. The size of the farms varies, and the smallest ones are thousands of square meters. It's winter, and although it's not freezing, it's cold and wet because of the high moisture on both sides of the road.
The accident occurred at a farm where a van somehow overturned into the farm, and the water was so deep that the van was slowly sinking. There were four or five people in the car, four of whom had been rescued, and a 3-year-old child who had not been saved, was held in the arms of a heroic young man who had rescued people, standing in the van that was about to sink, and was urgently waiting for help.
Mei Shengping hurriedly asked the driver to stop, and after he and Xia Xiang got out of the car, they listened to the gossip of passers-by and learned some information. The young man who rescued people was a taxi driver, and the family of the car accident did not know each other, after finding out about the car accident, he jumped into the icy sea water desperately, rescued two people, and the other two were also rescued by the passing crowd, in short, all strangers reached out to help, united as one, and saved four adults in a short time.
But in the end, after the young man rescued the child from the car, the van was about to sink completely into the water, and was washed by the water, getting farther and farther away from the shore, there was already a distance of dozens of meters, and then he ran out of strength, and held the child in his arms, if he swam in the water, he might not be able to swim to the shore, and at a distance of tens of meters, the child soaked in the water, he might freeze to death.
Now the child has frozen so much that he has no sound at all, and he is in danger.
Mei Shengping saw that the surrounding crowd was pointing fingers, but no one went into the water to save people, so he couldn't help but be angry: "What are you just looking at, why don't you save people quickly?" ”
Mei Shengping is the head of the organization of the provincial party committee, but in the eyes of ordinary people, no one knows him. As soon as the crowd was scolded by him, they couldn't help but retort angrily: "You said it lightly, now the wind is not small, the water is icy, the van is more than 30 meters away from the shore, and people will be bored if they swim by, let alone save people, and if you go, you will die." ”
"That's it, you have the ability to jump in and try it. This water is cold, who of us who often goes into the water does not know? After 3 minutes, the leg cramped, and as soon as the cramp occurred, it sank to the bottom, and whoever went into the water was dead. ”
Xia Xiang is calmer than Mei Shengping, he is from a construction background, and he has much more experience than Mei Shengping in many unexpected situations, and at a glance he saw a crane coming from the highway, and immediately waved his hand at the crowd: "Quickly stop the crane and let the crane save people." ”
Xia Xiang's words immediately reminded many people. Someone got on the road and reached out to stop the crane. As soon as the crane driver heard that he was rescued, he drove the crane over without saying a word, and after the crowd got out of the way, Xia Xiang jumped next to the crane driver and said a few words to him.
The crane driver gave a thumbs up to Xia Xiang, and then operated the crane's hook to slowly extend towards the underwater van. 10 meters, 5 meters, finally before the van sank, the hook hooked the youth and lifted the two safely!
The crowd erupted in cheers!
Many people gave Xia Xiang a thumbs up, at a critical moment, a good idea can save someone's life, this young man is not simple, he is cool-headed and open-minded.
After the young man was rescued, his lips were purple from the cold, and he could not say a word, and the baby in his arms was also blue from the cold, and his eyes were closed, as if he had passed out. Everyone was handy, some handed clothes, some sent hot water, and they all gave a love.
Mei Shengping saw it in his eyes and smiled: "Yes, yes, the customs of Cangcheng are simple, and the fine tradition of helping people to enjoy is presumably not far from Cangshi, and Lang City, which is not far from Cangshi, is also good." ”
Xia wanted to smile, but before he could speak, he felt someone behind him pat him on the shoulder, and a crisp voice sounded: "You, and you, don't be stunned, help someone and help send someone to the hospital." ”
Xia Xiang looked back when he heard the sound, and couldn't help but be stunned, there were two people behind him carrying an old man who had fallen into the water. Xia Xiang was surprised not by the enthusiasm and kindness of the two of them to save people, but that both of them were beautiful women.
are all beauties, Xia Xiang will be surprised at most, and he will not be stunned, the reason why he is stunned is for another reason......
