After a few words of homely work, Gao Hai learned that Xia Xiang had not found a suitable house yet, so he waved his hand and said: "I still have a house idle in the municipal axe family courtyard, you go to live first, and go back to the house to get the key." It just so happens that your aunt always talks about you and goes to the house to recognize the door. ”

Gao Hai's wife, Qin Yan, works in the Municipal Veteran Cadres Bureau, and is the section chief in charge of logistics, and the Veteran Cadres Bureau itself is a light and idle unit, and she is an idle department, so the work is very easy, as long as the unit is fine, she doesn't even have to go to work. Xia Xiang had never seen Qin Yan, but he heard Li Dingshan say that she was a virtuous woman, and he also had the heart to go to Gao Hai as a guest to further harmonize the relationship, so he casually agreed, but he pushed Gao Hai's house away.

"The house doesn't bother Uncle Gao, in fact, I also found a few suitable houses, but because Shu Mu felt that it was too far away from her, she vetoed it. She attended the School of Architecture and was a member of the Faculty of Architecture...... It's still not close to her, and it is estimated that she will disagree. Xia Xiang's reason is half-true, saying that it is true, and it is true that Cao Shumu mentioned that it is best to find a house to live close to her, so that she can go over to eat at any time. said that it was false, but he didn't want to accept Gao Hai's affection, and he didn't want to owe him too much. In the future, when he works in the municipal axe, he will inevitably deal with Gao Hai every day, and if he gets too close to Gao Hai in both public and private aspects, it is easy to confuse his judgment.

The municipal axe is no better than the dam county, and the interpersonal relationships are intricate and have to be carefully engaged. And Yan City is the provincial capital, maybe the inconspicuous person of the municipal axe has the background of the province, so in the municipal axe of the provincial capital, prudence is the first priority, low-key is the best choice, you must have enough calmness and judgment to see the situation in front of you. If you get too close to Gao Hai and receive his favor, it is easy to be driven by him, and your views will affect your analysis of the entire situation.

Xia thought clearly, the greater the opportunity, the greater the risk, no matter when, you can't take it lightly.

For Gao Hai, Xia wants to trust is trust, but he can't do absolute trust. Unlike Li Dingshan and Cao Yongguo, it is a kind of trust that feels very down-to-earth.

Xia Xiang smiled embarrassedly, revealing a look of embarrassment. Gao Hai smiled understandingly: "Young man, it's understandable that you want to be closer and get together conveniently." Then there is no way, I don't have a free house for you to live in on the other side of the School of Architecture, so you can find it yourself...... Mayor Cao and Mayor Chen still get along very well, they have similar views, Mayor Cao has a lot of professional knowledge, and Mayor Chen currently values Mayor Cao very much. ”

Although it is a bit exaggerated to describe the mayor's attitude towards the deputy mayor, it is more appropriate to use appreciation. But Xia Xiang didn't think that Gao Hai deliberately belittled Cao Yongguo, in fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that Cao Yongguo was brought up by Chen Feng, after all, in fact, it was Chen Feng who used the relationship, and Cao Yongguo had a big step forward now.

Cao Yongguo has been the executive vice mayor of Yan City for four months, and after completing all the procedures, he is now a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and executive vice mayor, ranking tenth among the 13 members of the Standing Committee of Yan City. It is said that the executive vice mayor can generally be ranked within six or seven, but Cao Yongguo is not qualified enough, so he has to be ranked low in the end.

As the executive deputy mayor, Cao Yongguo is already very content. The meal has to be eaten one bite at a time, and the road has to be taken step by step, and he can break through the limitations of the provincial bureau and truly step into the core layer of power, which can be regarded as a crucial first step. There is still a long way to go, so it is not a bad thing to be ranked low in the Standing Committee, at least not to be jealous when the foundation is not stable, and if you don't know when you offend the villain, it will be troublesome to be remembered all the time.

When Cao Yongguo first arrived at Yanshi Municipal Axe, it was normal for him to have a close relationship with Chen Feng because of Chen Feng's recommendation, and it was not close that he aroused the suspicion of outsiders. Xia Xiang can also guess Cao Yongguo's current psychology, follow Chen Feng closely, work hard, do not come out in everything, take Chen Feng as the wind direction, and echo Chen Feng in the Standing Committee.

Anyway, he has been labeled as Chen Feng's family, whether he admits it or not, others think the same. And he was full of gratitude to Chen Feng from the bottom of his heart, and when it was time to express it, he naturally spared no effort.

After talking to Gao Hai for a while, when it was time to get off work, Gao Hai called Chen Feng and asked for instructions, but Chen Feng couldn't leave because of something temporary, so he asked Xia Xiang to go to him tomorrow.

Gao Hai wanted to eat with Xia Xiang at noon, but he didn't expect something to happen suddenly at noon, so he had to let Xia Xiang solve the lunch problem by himself, Gao Hai said: "Don't come in the afternoon, take a rest, and officially go to work tomorrow." ”

Gao Hai insisted on sending Xia Xiang downstairs, Xia Xiang didn't refuse, he also knew that Gao Hai was deliberately taking care of him, showing some more snobbish people, and paving the way for him. In fact, Xia Xiang wanted to come in a low-key manner, and it was not good to shirk Gao Hai's kindness, so he had to come to the municipal axe building together, and was just about to say goodbye to Gao Hai, when an unexpected scene appeared: Chen Feng happened to go downstairs, and he was about to take a car accompanied by his secretary, when he suddenly found Xia Xiang, and suddenly smiled on his face and shouted: "Xiao Xia, come here." ”

Mayor Chen's voice is loud enough, his voice is familiar to everyone in the municipal axe, I don't know whether he is intentional or unintentional, and he shouted extremely loudly, it was the peak of getting off work, and it attracted everyone's attention at once.

Xia Xiang secretly said that it was miserable, and it was difficult not to attract attention, Mayor Chen was sometimes really unexpected, and he always gave people unexpected surprises. It's a pity that you don't know whether this surprise is good or bad, and as for Mayor Chen's deeper real purpose, there is no way to know.

Xia Xiang had no choice but to face everyone's eyes with different thoughts, and came to Chen Feng with a hard head, thinking that Chen Feng was looking for something to do with him, but he didn't expect Chen Feng to just pat him on the shoulder: "It's good to come, do it well, follow me, don't suffer!" Come to my office tomorrow......"

After Chen Feng left, Xia wanted to cry and laugh, obviously, Chen Feng did it on purpose for others to see, but there was no need to be a municipal axe personnel, right? Mayor Chen is the biggest in the municipal axe, so why should he do more?

Xia Xiang smiled, shook his head, and was about to leave when an Audi car stopped silently next to him. He was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the place where he was standing was wrong, it was the door of the municipal axe building, and during off-duty hours, the big and small leaders had to go out, and the drivers naturally waited at the door one after another to pick up the leaders and get on the bus.

He didn't know the license plate number, but he knew the driver Li Jiefu, who was driving, and he couldn't help but be happy. He nodded at Li Jiefu, saying hello, but heard a familiar voice from behind: "It's better to hurry up than to be in a hurry, Xiao Xia, get in the car and go to dinner together." ”

Accompanied downstairs by the secretary-general, Mayor Chen took the initiative to say hello, spoke intimately, and finally got into the car of the new executive vice mayor Cao Yongguo, and left with Mayor Cao. Almost everyone is talking about a young man who is too young, a little handsome, with a very healthy complexion, a very honest smile, and who can make the three major people in the municipal axe - Mayor Chen, Mayor Cao and Secretary General Gao value at the same time, who is he?

What neither Xia Xiang nor Cao Yongguo knew was that in a room on the seventh floor of the Municipal Axe Building, there were two people standing in front of the window and looking down. One of them is around 50 years old, with an elegant temperament, and if he wears a pair of narrow-rimmed glasses, his scholarly image is better than Li Dingshan. A person next to him bowed slightly, average height, ordinary appearance, slightly fat, if you have to find out what characteristics he has, he has a mole on his forehead, but unfortunately he is a middle-aged man, if this mole grows on a woman's face, it is an extremely rare beauty mole.

"Mayor Tan, you said this young man's name is Xia Xiang?" The elegant man asked with interest, and he tapped the glass lightly with his hand, and his long, well-maintained fingers looked like the hands of a pianist, quite artistic.

"Yes, Secretary Cui." Mayor Tan bent down slightly, he couldn't guess Cui Xiang's true intentions, so he didn't dare to say more, so he said again, "Xia Xiang was transferred from Ba County by Mayor Chen, and he was originally Li Dingshan's secretary......"

"Li Dingshan? The people of the Song Dynasty? Cui Xiang smiled implicitly, his smile also had a reserve and indifference, returned to his seat and sat down, thought for a moment, and then said, "It can be said that Xia Xiang is the bridge between Li Dingshan, Gao Hai and Cao Yongguo, but I didn't expect that he is inconspicuous, a young deputy section-level cadre, and his relationship network is intertwined, and it can even be said that he may become a bridge between Secretary Lu, Minister Lu and Song Chaodu in the future, it is not simple!" If this situation was caused by his own hands, then I would like to give him a sincere compliment, he really did it to the point of lifting weight. ”

"What is the relationship between Mayor Chen and him?" Mayor Tan asked cautiously, he didn't have much contact with Cui Xiang, and he couldn't figure out Cui Xiang's preferences, let alone whether he asked Xia Xiang whether it was positive or negative, so he had to say tentatively.

"Mayor Chen is not simple, of course he also saw Xia Xiang's important surname, otherwise, why did he have to show me a play below? Hehe......" Cui Xiang smiled, and shook his head disappreciatively, "The pattern of Yan City has not yet opened, and the new Cao Yongguo will not make much waves, whose interests does Mayor Chen want to use Xia Xiang to leverage?" ”

Mayor Tan didn't dare to answer, he just couldn't figure it out, what kind of ability did Xia Xiang have, so he had to let Mayor Chen transfer him from the far away Ba County? Since it was transferred, why not just reuse it and arrange it to a dispensable urban village reconstruction team?

Of course, Xia Xiang didn't know that he had been deliberately praised by Chen Feng, and not only became the focus of the municipal axe, but even Cui Xiang, secretary of the municipal party committee, and Tan Long, deputy mayor, showed great interest in him.

Xia Xiang just honestly accompanied Cao Yongguo to a meal, briefly said some common words, and did not mention anything at work.

There was nothing to do in the afternoon, and he decided to go to Xiao Jia.

It's been two or three days since he returned to Yan City, and Xia Xiang has only seen Cao Shumu once, and he hasn't had time to see Xiao Jia yet, because he has taken the time to go home before.

Younger brother Xia An has already gotten his wish to work in the Shancheng City Committee, although he is only a small clerk, but he also makes his parents very happy, and Xu Ning's parents have a high eye on Xia An, and they have repeatedly said that once Xia Xiang comes back, he must say to them, and let them thank Xia Xiang in person - where are Xu Ning's parents to thank Xia Xiang, and besides, Xia wants to help Xia An is not because of them, they just want to climb the high branches of Xia Xiang.

After Xia Xiang returned home, his parents were very happy, especially his father, who took out the wine that he had treasured for many years and had to take a few sips. I don't know where the rumor came out, saying that Xia Xiang has a lot to do with the secretary of the Shancheng Municipal Party Committee, Xia Cheng has been a worker in Shancheng Yijian for many years, and suddenly he was promoted to become the deputy section chief!

Xia An was also happy about Xia Xiang's return, and kept circling around Xia Xiang, and kept asking about Cao Shumu and Lian Ruohan. Cao Yongguo became the executive deputy mayor of Yan City, and the family also heard from Cao Yongguo's younger brother Cao Yongwang that Xia Cheng also bought a firecracker to set off, and he took Cao Yongguo as a matter of course.

Cao Shumu has nothing to say, the little girl is a sophomore, and after the summer vacation, she will be a junior, although she is a year older, but she is still the same as before, a child's surname. When it comes to Lian Ruohan, Xia Xiang always has a trace of bitterness and helplessness in his heart, since the last winter in Ba County, he inadvertently took her away, Lian Ruohan seemed to disappear from the sky, never appeared again, the phone was always turned off, and even Cao Shumu didn't know where she went, she disappeared very completely, as if she had never appeared.

Sometimes thinking of Lian Ruohan, Xia Xiang felt a little regretful in his heart, and he wanted to say sorry to her in person. She risked her life and drove from the capital along the mountain road all the way to Ba County, not to mention anything else, this affection alone was enough for him to solemnly thank her, not to mention that he used her identity many times openly and secretly, completed many borrowings, and achieved a lot of things.

Xia Xiang only stayed at home for one night and then returned to Yan City, there were too many things, and he couldn't live steadily. His parents were also overjoyed that he had arrived at the Yanshi Municipal Axe work, and asked him to work hard, don't forget to report to Li Dingshan often, after all, it was Secretary Li who brought him into the officialdom, and he couldn't forget his roots, etc., he nodded a little.

Xiao Jia bought a one-bedroom house in Lixiangyuan Community, although it is only 40 square meters, it is very warm. Hearing that Xia wanted to come, Xiao Jia turned down all her business and waited at home, first carefully cleaned the room, put on some makeup, put on home clothes, bought some good wine and food, and waited for Xia Xiang to come to the door with a fast heartbeat and some anticipation.

It can be said that the two have not been alone since the last time they broke through the final limit. There are men and women who have been together for the first time, and they are at home again, and the ambiguity and hints can be imagined. Xiao Jia was both a little expectant and a little flustered, looking forward to sleeping with Xia Xiang, but also a little flustered about the possible pain. While he was thinking, the doorbell rang.

Sure enough, it was Xia Xiang, he came...... Xiao Jia looked at Xia Xiang in a daze, darkened, thinner, as if he had grown a little taller, what remained unchanged was his honest smile, clear eyes, and chest that could give people warmth and dependence. Xiao Jia couldn't hold back any longer, and suddenly threw herself into Xia Xiang's arms: "Villain, you're finally here, I want to kill you!" ”

Hearing Xiao Jia's tender and sweet words for the first time, Xia Xiang was still a little uncomfortable, scratching his head: "Did I hear it wrong, or did you say it wrong?" ”

As soon as the words fell, he received a solid punch in the chest: "Don't speak, don't spoil the atmosphere, I want a quiet atmosphere." ”

Xia Xiang gently patted Xiao Jia's back and stroked her hair, and a trace of pity rose in his heart. Compared with Cao Shumu, compared to Lian Ruohan, and even compared to Zhang Xinying, Xiao Jia is much more bitter and tired, she works hard to support everything alone, and has experienced everything, no one to tell, no one to accompany her, what a strong woman she should be! She laughed in front of others, but she was lonely behind, she must be tired and tired, and she longed for his support and hug.

I don't know how long it took, Xiao Jia lay motionless in his arms, and fell asleep.

Xia Xiang was a little distressed, she could fall asleep standing up, she was really tired, and she was too eager for a harbor to rely on, so she fell asleep in his arms. He bent down and picked her up gently, especially gently and carefully, for fear of waking her sweet dreams, went into the bedroom, laid her lightly on the bed, and lay down beside her side, intently observing her beautiful face.

The most beautiful thing about Xiao Jia is not the shape of her face, nor the perfect match of her facial features, but her invisibly exuding a charming atmosphere. Even though she closed her eyes tightly, her eyelashes were still trembling slightly, her expression was serene and serene, not as lively and vivid as she was awake, but she still burst out from her face and body with a charming temperament, reminding you all the time that she is a woman, a beautiful and extreme woman with a sense of surname.

Her charming and charming demeanor involuntarily reminds people of an idiom: charming bones!

Xiao Jia is not intentionally charming, but men like her naturally feminine atmosphere. The so-called red face and troubled water, in fact, it is no wonder that women are born beautiful, only that men are too greedy. A woman who has captivated the country and the city, her own beauty has caused nothing, but a man who is fascinated by her beauty has caused trouble in the world because of her.

After a while, Xia Xiang noticed that Xiao Jia was only wearing a front-row buttoned home clothes. The beauty is lying, and he is not a person who is not close to women, and he has had a skin-to-skin relationship with Xiao Jia, so he can't help but move, like a naughty boy, gently, carefully, unbuttoning Xiao Jia's clothes one by one. After the button was unbuttoned, it was empty, vacuum-packed, revealing icy skin and jade skin. The two dots of red on the top and a puff of grass on the bottom are evocative. The thin waist and wide hips, smooth thighs, and amazing curves like undulating mountains make people suddenly feel a flame in their hearts, and they can't help but want to immediately pick up their guns and get on the horse, crisscrossing the battlefield!

Xia wanted to see Xiao Jia sleeping like a baby, although her whole body was hot, but she still forcibly restrained the ** in her heart and didn't wake her up. But then I couldn't help it, so I took off my clothes in two clicks, hugged Xiao Jia in my arms, and fell asleep in a daze.
