The indifferent expressions of the people in the car did not change at all, and they glanced at Cao Shumu coldly: "If you can't ride a horse, don't ride, especially don't ride with that little hairy child." He is only a little older, and he must not be reliable at the critical moment. ”

Although it was still as cold as ever, his voice was much softer, and he said a few more words. As soon as she finished speaking, she started the car, closed the window, and jumped out with her big foot on the accelerator.

Cao Shumu made a grimace at Xia Xiang, and Xia Xiang smiled: "The beauty plan didn't succeed, it's a pity." ”

"Ignore her, look at her invincible appearance, don't bump into my hands later, or she has to be good-looking." Mi Xuan was indignant and disapprehensive of Cao Shumu's actions just now.

The car drove forward for a few hundred meters and braked urgently, and then there was a piercing reversing sound, and in a moment Land Rover was like a tiger, quickly reversed, the window opened, and the people in the car threw out a stack of money from it and handed it to Cao Shumu: "Give you a shock!" If you don't want it, just throw it away! ”

It wasn't until the car went away again that Cao Shumu saw the thick stack of money in his hand, which was enough for 5,000 yuan. She handed the money into Xia Xiang's hand, patted the soil on her body and said, "What a strange person, you can't be so generous if you have money, really think that money is blown by the wind?" Xia Xiang, you help me keep it first, if I can meet her again, I will return it to her, if I can't meet her, then I can only thank Bumin. ”

Xia Xiang was not polite, put the money away: "Mucuna is really my lucky star, she helped me earn 5,000 yuan when she first came to Ba County, if you help me earn so much every day, it will be difficult to get rich." ”

"Stinky beauty, you, I'm my own lucky star, it has nothing to do with you, don't mess around!" Cao Shumu glared at Xia Xiang playfully, but thought in his heart, not only did he make you money, but he also made you a lot of cheap along the way, and he couldn't say it, he was angry.

When he went back, Cao Shumu was still the same as when he came, sitting sideways in front of Xia Xiang. But this time everything was calm, Xia Xiang didn't have a chance to hug her again, she also sat still honestly, and became bolder, and hummed a cheerful song from time to time, occasionally glanced at Xia Xiang, and saw that he always had a thoughtful look, so she secretly laughed at his small heart, and couldn't let go of what had just happened.

In fact, Xia Xiang had already put the unhappiness just now behind him, he was thinking that because of his appearance, many of the original processes had unpredictable deviations, but in any case, it should not affect the capital and the development of the Three Mountains Resort. It is self-evident that the development of the Three Mountains Resort has brought great benefits, although even if there is no mountain road directly from Ba County to the capital, it can build a food factory, but only one food factory can not bring a huge boost to the economy of Ba County, at best it can only solve the food and clothing of a small number of people.

In order to bring the overall economy of Ba County to a new level, there must be a road out of the mountains, even if it is a mountain road, which will shorten the distance between Ba County and the capital by hundreds of kilometers and days. But if there is no Three Mountains Resort, it is tantamount to a fantasy to build a mountain road with the strength of Ba County.

Ba County is limited by the geographical environment and the surname is too large, even if there are good tourism resources, the road is not passable, it is impossible to attract tourists. If you really have to wait until after 2003, a large number of private cars into the family to drive the prosperity of self-driving tours, Ba County's tourism has developed, there are still 5 years from now, 5 years, how many children who can't afford to read can return to class, how many people can drink with iron nails, can have a plate of side dishes!

Before returning to the county seat, he received a call from Li Dingshan as soon as there was a signal on his mobile phone on the way, and Li Dingshan told him a good news and a bad news. The good news is that news has come from the capital that it can be confirmed that the development of the Three Mountains Resort Mountain is true and that construction will start soon. The bad news is that Beihe Trading Company officially applied to the county government axe to contract Rolling Dragon Ditch!

Beihe Trading?

You don't need to think about Xia Xiang to know that it is a synthesis of the names of Yang Bei and Liu He, if he is not mistaken, the legal person of Beihe Trading must be Yang Bei.

Unexpectedly, he and Yang Bei inevitably stood on opposite sides, and it was an irreconcilable contradiction, and they had to distinguish the winner before they could stop. Xia Xiang frowned, and couldn't help but think of it.

Suddenly, a warm little hand reached out to his forehead, as if to smooth out wrinkles, and Cao Shumu's dissatisfied voice came: "Don't frown, it's easy to wrinkle." You see, when you think about things, you look like a little old man. ”

Mi Xuan was driving in front, and Cao Shumu originally wanted to sit in the front, but in the end he sat in the back, side by side with Xia Xiang. When she saw that Xia was fascinated by his thoughts, she naughtily reached out to touch his forehead.

Xia Xiang smiled and took her little hand away: "Don't make trouble, adults think about things, children don't make trouble." By the way, does Director Cao know that you are coming to Ba County? ”

Cao Shumu shook his head and nodded again: "I shouldn't know, I didn't tell him, but he probably can guess." Anyway, no one said anything, so they pretended it didn't happen. ”

Mi Xuan smiled in front: "Aren't you afraid that I will tell you?" ”

Cao Shumu stretched out his small fist at her as if demonstrating: "You dare? Be careful that I expose your shortcomings! ”

Mi Xuan didn't look back, and raised her hand behind her, indicating that she would admit defeat.

Back in the county seat, Xia wanted the two to rest first, and he went to the county party committee to see Li Dingshan. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Li Dingshan pouring water by himself, he hurriedly stepped forward to take the kettle, and said: "Secretary Li, my secretary is not very competent, and he can't serve the leader in time." ”

Li Dingshan scolded with a smile: "Don't come with me like this, I'm not a bureaucrat who pays attention to everything, and besides, you are going to do the right thing, and you are not doing the right thing, and only those who have no ability do the little things that sweep the floor every day." ”

If picking up girls is also a serious matter, Xia Xiang is almost ashamed, but thinking about it can be regarded as laying a good foundation for the future, whether it is for him or Li Dingshan, it is very necessary to get closer to Cao Yongguo. Moreover, Mi Xuan is Wang Quanyou's daughter.

Li Dingshan received a call from the capital, and it has been ascertained that the Sanshan Resort is indeed officially established, and a powerful company is responsible for the development, and the specific construction date is not clear, but it should be in the near future, rushing into the mountain before the snow freezes. It can be said that the matter of the Three Mountains Resort is already a certainty, and there will be no more accidents.

"However, Beihe Trading suddenly proposed to contract the barren mountains in the area of Rolling Dragon Valley, and the timing is very sensitive, could they also know what rumors?" Li Dingshan's worries were not unreasonable, originally he thought that the development of the Three Mountains Resort was absolutely secret, and only he and Xia wanted to know, he could take advantage of this to take the lead in many things and catch his opponent off guard. But if Liu Shixuan also knew about this, then the Tongtian Mountain Road, which could be used as a means of surprise, would lose all its meaning.

Xia Xiang said that he got the news from Huang Hai's mouth today, and Li Dingshan was relieved: "So that's the case, Liu Shixuan is also quite smart, and he made a decision immediately, it seems that Rolling Dragon Gou is really his weakness." Li Dingshan also knew the meaning of Beihe Commerce, and secretly glanced at Xia Xiang, and saw that he had no special reaction, so his heart calmed down a lot, and he was afraid that Xia Xiang would not be able to stand the stimulation for a while, and would overreact.

Xia Xiang's calmness made Li Dingshan sigh, thinking that when he was so old, he was definitely not so calm. If he had the stability and maturity of Xia Xiang, and the support of his father-in-law, Song Chaodu would have pulled him early, and it should not be a problem to go to the deputy hall now.

But then again, although it is the right place now, with Xia Xiang by his side, it will not be too difficult to get promoted in the future.

"What does Secretary Li think?" Xia wanted to know that contracting the history of barren mountains in Ba County was a major event, and it had to be discussed by the Standing Committee.

Liu Shixuan was very smart and did not come forward directly, but asked the people of Beihe Commerce and Trade to come forward and apply to the county magistrate Shi. When County Magistrate Shi reported to me, he did not express his position, but only said that the political axe side would study it first, come up with a specific plan, and then submit it to the Standing Committee for discussion. Li Dingshan also knew that Shi Fortress must know the background of Beihe Commerce, and he could take the initiative to report to Li Dingshan in advance, instead of waiting for the plan to come out and then report, which had already made a neutral position.

"If you really want to go to the Standing Committee, I'm afraid the situation is not good...... "There are a total of 11 members of the Standing Committee of the county party committee in Ba County, including Li Dingshan, and there will be 13 people in some counties, but Ba County is poor, and basically the party committee secretaries of the townships and towns below are not high-ranking standing committee members, and 11 people is a reasonable number. Xia Xiang calculated, Li Dingshan has not yet controlled more than half of the influence of the Standing Committee, "Liu Shixuan has one vote, Huang Pengfei has one vote, and a few people in the centrists, I estimate that they will compromise with Liu Shixuan on this matter, because there is no conflict with their interests, Deputy Secretary Zheng Qian, Minister of Armed Forces Guo Liang, and then Deputy County Magistrate Zhao Jiansu and Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection have unclear attitudes, and Liu Shixuan's surname may be very big when he passed the Standing Committee." ”

He deliberately left the stone fortress not to say anything, just to let Li Dingshan analyze it and leave it for him to make a final key opinion.

"Yes, the most intriguing thing is the opinion of the county magistrate Shi, if the county magistrate Shi clearly expresses his support for Beihe Commerce, it will almost certainly be approved." As soon as the words came out, Li Dingshan suddenly realized that he couldn't see it at ordinary times, and the stone fortress, which had been low-key at the critical moment, was the most critical person to grasp the balance of Ba County. As long as he favors whoever he prefers, he will have the possibility of controlling the Standing Committee.

Xia Xiang also thought of this, and suddenly realized that if the stone fortress was a smart person, he would not make it clear which side he was favoring, he only needed to do his part, as long as he stayed in the middle, he could obtain greater benefits.

However, there is no good thing in the world that is not earned for nothing, and he has a way to make the stone fortress unable to sit still, not let him sit firmly on the Diaoyu Tai, and reap the benefits.

After thinking about it, Xia Xiang smiled: "Secretary Li's side, Wu Yingjie counts one vote, Minister Du counts one vote, and Secretary Wang can also count one vote, as for County Magistrate Shi, unless he doesn't want to be motivated, he will stand on our side sooner or later." ”

Li Dingshan was surprised: "Secretary Wang? Wang Quanyou? How so? ”

Xia Xiang talked about the relationship between Cao Shumu and Mi Xuan, and pointed out the relationship between Mi Xuan and Wang Quanyou, of course, he and Wang Quanyou's chance encounter also said.

Li Dingshan was overjoyed: "Xiao Xia, it's amazing, you always surprise me, it seems that you are really my lucky general." By the way, it should be said that Cao Shumu is also your lucky star, but you must take advantage of the opportunity! If Director Cao enters Yan City as the executive vice mayor next, his political future is bright, he is only 50 years old this year, right? After being the deputy mayor of the previous term, if you are promoted one more level, you will be able to reach the vice province. ”

He remembered what Xia Xiang had said just now, so he asked, "Why does County Magistrate Shi want to move closer to us?" ”

"Secretary Li is a fan of the authorities, and County Magistrate Shi is the leader of the political axe, if there is a political achievement that can write a strong stroke on his resume, who will he choose to cooperate with? Of course, it is the person who can bring him great benefits, this person is Secretary Li, who not only has major decision-making power in terms of personnel, but also has a lot of important information and is one step ahead of others everywhere! Xia Xiang knew in his heart that no matter how trusted and respected by Li Dingshan was, he could not surpass the role of a secretary, and it was okay to give advice, but the decision must be returned to Li Dingshan, and he could not be suspicious of himself.

No one wants to accept the fact that their subordinates are smarter than themselves, and no matter how generous they are, they will inevitably have some ideas.

Li Dingshan understood what Xia Xiang meant, and showed a displeased look on his face, but he still felt very comfortable in his heart, and said: "What do you say in front of me in the future, don't always say half of it, you have to let me make a conclusion, where is there so much attention?" Halfway through the words, he smiled again, "You mean the mountain road that leads to the capital, right?" It is also said that knowing in advance that the mountain road is going to be opened, and starting to prepare for the development of tourism in Ba County in advance, such a big good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, I will take it out and hand it over to the county magistrate Shi to do, what will his attitude be? ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a knock on the door outside: "Is Secretary Li there?" I'm Stone Fortress, I have something to report to you? ”

Li Dingshan and Xia Xiang glanced at each other, it was better to come early than to come at a good time!

Sincerely, in the matter of the confrontation between Liu Shixuan and Li Dingshan, Shi Fortress had selfish intentions.

Li Dingshan's airborne landing shattered his dream of being the secretary of the county party committee, and it was impossible to have no mustard in his heart. He is 48 years old this year, and he has worked in the position of deputy county magistrate and county magistrate for too long, and he missed this opportunity to rise, and may not be able to become a secretary until he retires. He has always believed in a famous saying that a county magistrate who does not want to be a secretary is not a good county magistrate. Therefore, as soon as Li Dingshan came, he held an attitude, did not confront or cooperate, kept his distance, insisted on neutrality, and appropriately leaned towards Liu Shixuan.

It's not that Shi Fortress doesn't want to fight against Li Dingshan, and unites Liu Shixuan and others to set up Li Dingshan. However, he does not have Liu Shixuan's deep-rooted influence in the local area, and he does not have the background of Li Dingshan parachuting from the provincial capital. In addition, he thought that compared with Liu Shixuan's domineering and insidious, Li Dingshan's literati temperament made him feel more credible, so after some careful consideration, he finally decided to adopt the strategy of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, waiting for Li Dingshan and Liu Shixuan to clash, and then he appeared in time as a firefighter, no matter which side he preferred, he would definitely be able to obtain the greatest benefits.

Li Dingshan wants to make a difference in Ba County, wants to open up the situation, he must make a fuss about personnel and economy, Shi Fortress has self-knowledge, he has no foundation in Ba County, and there are only two or three people in the Standing Committee who support him, and no one listens to him in the heads of the bureaus below, and he has no personnel power in his hands.

Moreover, Liu Shixuan not only sat on the side of the political axe, but even Huang Pengfei, the head of the organization department, also obeyed him. After the previous old secretary took office, he wanted to move Liu Shixuan's interests, but he angered Liu Shixuan, and made several attacks on the Standing Committee, so that the old secretary's proposal could not be passed, whether it was a change in personnel or the promotion of policies, without exception, it was vetoed in the Standing Committee, so that the old secretary was constrained everywhere, and even did not hesitate to use the secretary's veto power, but in the end he was seriously ill and retired early.

A secretary who cannot grasp the Standing Committee will lose the authority of the number one leader.

At this point, the stone fortress still admires Li Dingshan's stability. It has been a month since he came to Ba County, and Li Dingshan has not yet submitted a major issue to the Standing Committee for a vote, because once the proposal of the number one leader cannot be passed, his authority as the number one leader will be greatly reduced, and the aura of the secretary will be weakened a lot. If you do not have the confidence to rush to the Standing Committee to discuss the resolution, it is a sign of political immaturity. At this point, Li Dingshan's approach made the stone fortress very much agreed. Before Li Dingshan came, the people of the county party committee and county government unanimously believed that he had no political experience and would definitely make childish moves. Now it seems that they all underestimated Li Dingshan's political wisdom.

It is precisely because of Li Dingshan's forbearance and steady style that the stone fortress is somewhat shaken, and he wants to join forces with Li Dingshan to suppress Liu Shixuan? Shi Baobao knew in his heart that compared with Li Dingshan, Liu Shixuan was at most a politician, a political speculator, far from being a politician, and since Li Dingshan was parachuted into Laiba County, there must be people in the province, even if it was not for political achievements, it may be a formality, but no matter what, he must have political ambitions, even if it is only for political achievements, he also has the motivation to contribute to the economic development of Ba County, unlike Liu Shixuan, who occupies the position of executive deputy county magistrate purely for his own selfishness.

Liu Shixuan is the person of Shen Fuming, the secretary of the municipal party committee, and Shi Fortress knows this, so he also knows that even if he joins forces with Li Dingshan, he can only put Liu Shixuan in the air, and there is no way to drive him away.

The stone fortress is already 48 years old, and it would be self-deception to say that it does not want to go further. He calculated, Li Dingshan may leave after the last term, three years later, he will be 51 years old, and he will still have time to serve as a secretary for another term, if he has made political achievements during his term of office, when he finally retires, he will not be promoted to the actual deputy department, and it is also an honor to compensate for a deputy department-level treatment, and it is also an honor to retire as a deputy department-level cadre, which is much better than dying at the department level. Therefore, it is not that he has not tried to test Li Dingshan's mind and wants to cooperate with him.
