Xia Xiang's words evoked Hu Zeng Zhoude's memories again, thinking of the young man who carried the pot in front of his calligraphy, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, time is like an arrow, in the blink of an eye, the little-known young man of the year is now the secretary of the district party committee in charge of the overall work, it is really a change in the world, which makes people overwhelmed.

Propaganda Minister Hui Yongyi looked like a good man, and he also shook hands with a smile, and didn't say anything, only said: "The future is terrible, the future is terrible." Obviously, he also heard that Xia Xiang bargained with Su Gongchen as soon as he showed up just now, and he fought with Sun Aiyong with two open guns and hidden arrows, Xia Xiang dealt with it calmly, without stage fright, and killed two birds with one stone, while successfully counterattacking Sun Aiyong, he also took a step closer to Hu Shangzengzhou's relationship.

is really a young man with exquisite faces, since Hui Yongyi and Xia Xiang have not had a holiday, and they have no prejudice against Xia Xiang, he will not do the troublemaking of fasting.

Xia Xiang then shook hands with several people he knew in turn, and after greeting him, he sat down under Hu Zengzhou's arrangement. The banquet was divided into two tables, one table for the leaders of the municipal party committee and one table for the party and government cadres of various districts and counties.

Accompanied Xia Xiang to sit together and was also not the leader of the municipal party committee, only Zhuang Qingyun was alone. Xia Xiang made such an arrangement for Hu Zengzhou, and he had a plan in his heart, and when he saw Mu Yunshan and Teng Fei sitting at a table in the district and county, he knew who was far away and who was close in Hu Zengzhou's heart.

The atmosphere of the whole banquet was relaxed and easy-going, because there was the nature of a family banquet, and there were people recognized by Hu Zengzhou, and it was almost a foregone conclusion that Hu Zengzhou would take over as secretary, and everyone was proud to be invited by Mayor Hu to participate in the banquet, so they did not hesitate to praise and raise their glasses to congratulate Hu Zengzhou. Hu Zengzhou was also in a good mood, smiling and almost refusing, clinking glasses one by one.

Clinking glasses is clinking glasses, but some just touch their lips, and some only drink half a cup, how much it depends on the other party's weight in Hu Zengzhou's mind.

Sun Aiyong toasted, Hu Zeng drank it all on Monday, he was a little complacent, thinking that Mayor Hu was very face-saving, and then he glanced at Xia Xiang, thinking about what Xia Xiang could do.

Xia Xiang didn't toast, but stretched out his hand to persuade Hu Wax Zhou: "Leadership, the way of health preservation, it is not advisable to overeat, especially under great joy, it is not suitable to drink more, you drink less, your body is important."

Hu Zengzhou actually drinks a lot of alcohol, the charter city is relatively cold, the locals love wine, he has served as the mayor and secretary of the charter city for many years, and he has also practiced the amount of alcohol. But Xia Xiang's words revealed concern, which made his heart warm, and he remembered the interaction with Xia Xiang when he was in Charter City, so he grabbed Xia Xiang's hand: "Xiao Xia, listen to you today, I don't drink it, but everyone is kind and difficult, and I have to drink, so you drink it for me, how about it?" ”

Xia Xiang's feelings for Hu Zengzhou are also very complicated, saying that he doesn't hate Hu Zengzhou at all and turned away at that time, which is a lie. But from Hu Yuzhou's standpoint, in fact, he also has a helpless objective principle. Xia Xiang couldn't say that he completely forgave Hu Zengzhou, and he also knew that if it was him, he might not do better than Hu Zengzhou. When it comes to big choices, everyone prioritizes their own interests.

At this time and at that time, people cannot live in the past, live in grudges, not only do not help things, but rest on their laurels. What's more, the current Hu Zengzhou is indeed revealing his true feelings, Xia Xiang reached out and took Hu Zengzhou's wine glass: "I will block all the wine for the leader, but in case I get drunk and can't go to work in the district committee in the afternoon, the leader has to help me ask for leave." Hu Zengzhou laughed: "Asking for leave is a trivial matter, if you are drunk, you can sleep in my study."

Sun Aiyong saw that Xia Xiang and Hu Zengzhou were getting closer and closer, and the satisfaction brought by Mayor Hu and him clinking glasses and drinking all the glasses just now disappeared, and his heart was depressed, so he just glared at Xia Xiang secretly and drank the stuffy wine in a big gulp. Su Gongyu Province's Sun Aiyong's performance was in full view, he smiled, drank with Sun Aiyong's magnetic cup, and whispered a few words, Sun Aiyong laughed again.

The interaction between Su Gongchen and Sun Aiyong did not hide from Zhuang Qingyun, he smiled secretly, thinking that Su Gongchen was really a wonderful person, left and right, and everyone wanted to win over.

Noon was not long enough, when the meaning came, everyone dispersed one after another, Xia Xiang stayed at the end, and when almost everyone was gone, only Zhuang Qingyun was present, and when Mu Yunshan and Teng Fei went out to give it away, Xia Xiang took out the feed ruler and gave it to Hu Zengzhou. "A small gift, not a tribute, please Mayor Hu smiled.

The ruler was carefully wrapped in gift paper, but it could be seen from the shape of the outside what it was, Hu Zengzhou smiled, and did not shy away from Zhuang Qingyun's presence, he opened the package directly, and a handful of white and excellent jade jumped in front of him.

Hu Zengzhou is not a person who knows jade, but he has been an official for many years, has seen a lot of discussions, and has received a lot of gifts, so he naturally knows that the jade in front of him is worth a lot of money, of course, for cadres of his level, the value is secondary, mainly because Xia Xiang's intentions are commendable. The beautiful jade feed ruler is used to write calligraphy, which complements the proud work of the dragon flying and the phoenix dance, and has the meaning of a perfect combination.

Xia Xiang...... With a heart, Hu Zengzhou glanced at Xia Xiang deeply, and thought that Xia Xiang was tight-lipped about his privacy as a calligrapher at any time, and he was more moved in his heart, holding the lock ruler in his hand, full of emotion.

"Xiao Xia, it's not in vain that you and I have met, this feed ruler, good, great, I accepted it, and it will always be placed in the study in the future, as a treasure in the study, as a permanent memorial." Hu Zengzhou solemnly put down the feeding ruler, and deliberately shook hands with Xia Xiang again, with a dignified face.

Xia Xiang was relieved, Hu Zengzhou realized his intentions, and the gifts he carefully prepared received the expected results. From then on, as long as Hu Zengzhou entered the study, he would think of him as soon as he saw the ruler, and he would think of the friendship and secrets between them.

Xia Xiang did not take a break in Hu Zengzhou's study 1, but drove directly back to the district committee with Zhuang Qingyun. Although Hu Zengzhou is the mayor, after all, he still has to go to work in the afternoon, and things should not be known to everyone, so it is better to deal with it in a low-key manner, according to the city, after all, it is the provincial capital city, the compound of the municipal party committee, and it is only a few kilometers away from the compound of the provincial party committee.

Back in the office, Xia Xiang was a little drunk, and planned to squint for a while, but Zhuang Qingyun knocked on the door again and came in, and brought up the old matter again: "Secretary Xia, I just asked for the promotion list and resume of the last deputy section-level cadre from Yunshan, you can take a look." ”

Xia Xiang glanced at Zhuang Qingyun, and wondered in his heart, what was Zhuang Qingyun's intention in grasping this matter? Was it just to suppress Mu Yunshan once, or did he also want to be promoted, but Mu Yunshan didn't give him face? Xia Xiang took the material and rolled his hand a few times: "Okay, I'll take a look first...... Anything else? ”

Zhuang Qingyun saw that Xia wanted to give an eviction order, so he didn't say much, nodded and smiled: "No, I won't disturb the leader's work." ”

Zhuang Qingyun is, Xia Xiangcai looked at the files of several deputy section-level cadres attentively, basically two of them are college students who have just graduated for two years, and they directly mentioned the deputy section level, saying that they should go fast, say not fast, and they will not bury anything, and the two college students are both graduates of famous universities, so they have certain advantages.

Basically, with Xia Xiang's current level, he really doesn't bother to pay attention to the promotion of deputy section-level cadres, unless his interests are included, under normal circumstances, it is up to the organization department to decide. But Zhuang Qingyun mentioned this matter again and again, Xia Xiang had to think about the hidden secrets, and also take proper care of Zhuang Qingyun's emotions, after all, Mu Yunshan also had a small mistake.

"Wei Gang, call Minister Mu and ask him to come to my office." Xia thought about it for a while, and decided that it would be better to give Mu Yunshan a proper beating, no matter what Q Mu Yunshan came out of, he must be made clear that working in the dismounted area, his attitude must be correct, and his thinking must be correct. Soon, Mu Yunshan came to Xia Xiang's office, and his attitude was not bad: "Secretary Xia, are you looking for me?" ”

"Yunshan, the promotion of deputy section-level cadres is indeed within the authority of the Organization Department" But the promotion of cadres must be cautious, it doesn't matter if I don't go through the days in the future, everything must be discussed with Comrade Qingyun before making a decision." Xia Xiang nodded a few words to Mu Yunshan directly, seeing that his face was changing and his eyes were evasive, knowing that he had hit his sore spot, he hit it appropriately, "If Comrade Qingyun has a big opinion, if a small matter is also discussed by the Standing Committee, everyone will not look good." ”

Mu Yunshan blushed, it was humiliation and resentment, and he said embarrassedly: "Yes, I have written it down, and I will definitely act according to the rules in the future, and I will not let Secretary Xia worry about it." Xia Xiang nodded, and without speaking, Mu Yunshan retreated with interest.

Xia wanted to believe that his words could make Mu Yunshan clear about the serious consequences of the matter, if Zhuang Qingyun was dissatisfied with Mu Yunshan's work again, he had to submit the promotion of deputy section-level cadres to the Standing Committee for discussion, which would mean that Mu Yunshan's power as the head of the organization department would be completely deprived, and Mu Yunshan would have the right to decide, only the right to suggest, and the right to decide would be transferred to the Standing Committee.

No one wants to be the head of an organization that has been set up, and once this happens, his prestige will be minimized, and basically in the organization department, there will be no authority to say anything.

Xia Xiang's proposal was resolute and powerful, which directly left Mu Yunshan with no way back, and Mu Yunshan knew that compared with Bai Zhanmo, Xia Xiang's political skills and wisdom were indeed higher.

Walking out of Xia Xiang's office, Mu Yunshan thought about it hatefully, but still felt that his heart was depressed, so he went straight to Zhuang Qingyun's office.

Zhuang Qingyun was on the phone, and when he saw Mu Yunshan knocking on the door and coming in, he was shocked, and then he thought that Xia wanted to knock on him, so he calmed down again, motioned for Mu Yunshan to sit down, and continued to call him. After calling for a few minutes in a row, Zhuang Qingyun hung up and asked calmly, "Yunshan is looking for me something?" "Secretary Zhuang, you are very powerful now-, do you think that you have a good relationship with Secretary Xia, so you don't have to be me?" Mu Yunshan was not very polite, and said directly.

Zhuang Qingyun saw that Mu Yunshan was the master of Xing who was asking for the guilt, he smiled, leaned back, put on a very comfortable posture, and said with a smile: "Minister Mu's words are not right, it seems that you Minister Mu Da is the first not to take others seriously." You can take my opinion as a deaf ear, for the sake of Mayor Hu's face, I don't have to worry about you. But don't forget, who is the leader in charge of the overall work in the dismount district! ”

Mu Yunshan blushed and shouted thickly: "I have the right to decide what is within my authority, it is you who interfere sideways, and you have to tell right and wrong." He was so angry that he spun around on the ground a few times, and suddenly said, "Oh, I understand, it must be among the people I promoted, without your relationship, you can't see it, so you deliberately find fault, right?" Zhuang Qingyun, let's go to Mayor Hu to reason, I don't believe that Mayor Hu will allow us to fight in the nest, do you still have any political consciousness? For your own selfishness, if you don't unite with me and Minister Teng, it doesn't matter, and you deliberately let Secretary Xia beat me, Zhuang Qingyun, what are your intentions? ”

Zhuang Qingyun was also angry, and stood up with a slap on the table: "Mu Yunshan, don't spew blood!" I'm telling you, if you follow the rules, one is one and two is two, I will never have anything to do with you. You don't take the authority of my deputy secretary in your eyes first, and in turn accuse me, you have taken up all the truths in the world by yourself, there is no such good thing! Don't bring out Mayor Hu to pressure me, Mayor Hu won't support you. ”

Mu Yunshan was stunned for a moment, in his eyes, Zhuang Qingyun had always been a smiling tiger, "Either pensive or smiling, I have never seen him angry." Today, even if he saw Zhuang Qingyun's anger, his eyes were wide open, and he was furious, so he subconsciously took a step back and opened his mouth, but the words were stuck in his throat and couldn't speak.

Zhuang Qingyun was not to be outdone, staring at Mu Yunshan's eyes, he knew in his heart that the first head-to-head confrontation between him and Mu Yunshan could only win and not lose. Winning will lay the initiative in front of Mu Yunshan and Mei Fei in the future, and losing will mean that this time he has not received the predicted effect at all, and he has missed a great opportunity.

The two looked at each other for a full minute, and Mu Yunshan finally retreated, he withdrew his gaze first, turned around and left without saying a word. Although Mu Yunshan did not say anything to show weakness, Zhuang Qingyun knew that in fact, Mu Yunshan's first fight with him ended in failure.

Zhuang Qingyun's office was far away from Xia Xiang's office, and the noise inside couldn't reach Xia Xiang's ears at all, but it was very close to Fu Xiaobin's office, but Fu Xiaobin faintly heard something.

Fu Xiaobin has always reported to the leader in a timely manner when there is something moving, and he called Xia Xiang as soon as possible.

After listening to Fu Xiaobin's report, Xia Xiang smiled knowingly. Whether Zhuang Qingyun is borrowing strength, whether he wants to use his hand to establish the prestige of the deputy secretary, or has other plans, it is not the key to the problem, the key is that Xia wants to believe that he and Hu Zengzhou's approach indicates that he will have more initiative in the dismount area, as Hu Shangshuzhou's most trusted descendant, Zhuang Qingyun will always be soberly aware of what kind of position he should maintain in the dismount area that is most in line with his interests.

Skipping the contradiction between Zhuang Qingyun and Mu Yunshan, Xia Xiang concentrated on his work again, but before he could calm down, the phone rang unexpectedly again.

It was Qiu Xufeng who called, Xia Xiang's heart tightened, what happened? Hurriedly answered the phone, and Qiu Xufeng's slightly anxious voice came from inside: "Xia Xiang, do you know that Fu Xianfeng has returned to the capital?" "I heard that he should be going to operate the position of mayor of Yan City, what's wrong?" Qiu Xufeng has always been calm when encountering things, and his eagerness proves that something big must have happened.

"According to reliable sources, the Wu family and the Fu family are in contact in the capital and have reached an agreement, the Wu family will help the Fu family win the position of mayor of Yan City, and the Fu family will fully support the Wu family to win the throne of the secretary general of the provincial party committee!" After Zhi Xufeng finished speaking, he was still slightly panting, which showed that this news brought him a lot of shock. Did the Wu family really join forces with the Fu family again? When Xia Xiang heard it for the first time, he was also shocked on the spot!

Of course, what shocked was not the possibility of the Wu family and the Fu family joining forces, but how could the Fu family still believe the Wu family after suffering a loss from the Wu family? Even if the Zhong family had no choice but to cooperate with the Wu family again, could it be said that Wu Caiyang really needed to rely on the strength of the Fu family?

Among the four families, the Fu family is the weakest, but it is the most opportunistic, so its strength has risen the fastest in the past two years, and there is a faint trend of surpassing the Qiu family, and even Xia Xiang guessed that the Fu family may have surpassed the Qiu family, just to avoid making a big move, hiding some strength.

Last time, the Wu family took advantage of the Fu family's eagerness to win the head of the Municipal Party Committee's organization, and successfully put the Fu family together, but the Fu family suffered heavy losses, and finally made wedding clothes for the Wu family with empty hands. Gangyun planted a heel, the Fu family still doesn't learn from the pain, and dare to coexist with wolves again?

Unless the Fu family is really dizzy and has no way out, they are willing to die as a horse doctor, and they have to cooperate with the Wu family again. Joining forces with the Wu family is actually undoubtedly the same as the tiger.

But since it is the news revealed by Qiu Xufeng, there will definitely be no fake. Even if there is a fake, someone deliberately released the wind to disturb the line, so the Buda Formation. Xia Xiang asked: "As far as you know, where is the question of the selection of the secretary general and the mayor of Yan City now?" ”

"The candidate for the secretary general, the prime minister and the general secretary did not nod, only said to put it aside for the time being. Mayor of Yan City...... I don't know where exactly it's stuck in 7.,Anyway, there's everything to say now.,It's just that there's no quasi-letter.,The old man may know a little bit of the inside story.,But don't tell me.,I'm afraid I'll talk nonsense and the impact will not be good.,It's really a mess now.。 Qiu Xufeng said helplessly, "It's really unprofitable, I can't afford to be early, just now there was a little rumor of the big capital economic prison, so I will strive to be like this" After the big capital city economic park is really launched, there will be economies of scale, and then there will be a change, it is estimated that it will have to fight."

Domestic politics is no better than some pseudo-democratic women, districts, but in the so-called parliament staged an all-out military act, even if the country really fights, it will not be under the public's nose, in fact, the fight on the surface loses people, and the fight that cannot be seen loses life. The battle without seeing the sun is the most thrilling life-and-death.

Qiu Xufeng's answer is basically in line with Xia Xiang's speculation, and now the contest on the issue of candidates has alarmed the highest level, since even the top level has expressed concern, with the political wisdom of the highest level, it will definitely suppress many doubting voices, do not explain and do not answer, silence is the best reason, anyway, let you guess, and when everyone's patience is exhausted, it is the best time to make a final decision.

At present, the issue of a secretary general of the provincial party committee and a mayor of the provincial party committee, two candidates who should not be taken to heart by the top level, has become the fuse of a political incident, the inducement for the four major families to divide into two camps for confrontation, and a game between the top echelons supporting the family forces and opposing the family forces.

"It's useless to be anxious now, so I can only wait patiently." Xia Xiang comforted Qiu Xufeng and said, "The candidate for the secretary general of the provincial party committee, even if the Wu family has the support of the Fu family, it will not be easy to get it, the longer the matter drags on, the less hope the Wu family has." ”

If what Qiu Xufeng said is true, the Wu family has reached the point where they are in a hurry to go to the doctor, and they want to unite with the Fu family, which proves that the Wu family has encountered unprecedented huge resistance, and Wu Caiyang is anxious.

Wu Caiyang was not worried not only because the throne of the secretary general of the provincial party committee was won by others, "but because he also realized that this matter has risen to another level." He knew in his heart that the opposition to the family forces at the top of the central government was also very strong, and if he could successfully block the Wu family's attempt to win down the secretary general of the provincial party committee this time, it would indicate that several people in the top echelons of the central government who opposed the family forces had joined forces and began to contain the growth of the family forces.

Wu Caiyang estimated that he had regarded the issue of the secretary general of the provincial party committee as a major political struggle and a confrontation between the family forces and the opponents of the family forces. At the same time, he has not been the head of the Central Propaganda Department for a long time, and it is possible that he also wants to take this opportunity to establish his authority in the Politburo.

The struggle has risen to the highest level, whether it is Xia Xiang or Qiu Xufeng, they can only stand by and watch. Qiu Xufeng is a fan of the authorities, and coupled with his urgent mood, he will inevitably be anxious. Xia Xiang actually didn't have too many interests entangled, so he was naturally much calmer than Qiu Xufeng.

"I'll find out the situation from the side, don't worry, I'll inform you in time if there is news." Xia Xiang also knew the original intention of Qiu Xufeng's call, which was to ask him to find out some news from the Wu family. Qiu Xufeng knew that he could only do so: "You say, how long will it be delayed?" Caring is chaotic, Qiu Xufeng asked a question that Xia Xiang couldn't answer.

Xia Xiang thought about it slightly, from the lunar calendar, it is not yet the first month, and from the Gregorian calendar, it is not yet March, but it is also fast, and there will be personnel changes in the month every year, and the dust will settle then.

Xia Xiang also knew that his speculation might not be accurate, but he still said it and comforted Qiu Xufeng a few words before hanging up the phone.

After thinking about it, he was just about to take out the phone and call Wu Caijiang Although Wu Caijiang was far away in Ning Province, he was also a member of the Wu family after all, and he must know something inside the story, but the phone rang in time, it was Mei Shengping calling. First Qiu Xufeng, then Mei Shengping, it seems that it is indeed lively.

"Xiao Xia, Wu Caiyang has made a lot of promises, and he still wants to cooperate with the old Fu family, what do you say he is planning, is it a bit of a big game?" Mei Shengping's voice was light and tasteless, but it was still a typical Mei style, revealing an indescribable taste of cheating.

Xia Xiang smiled: "I really don't know what Minister Wu's plans are, but in my opinion, it doesn't necessarily mean that if you become big, you will definitely succeed." ”

"What do you think?" Mei Shengping "muttered", and asked casually, "Qiu Xufeng should be angry with you, it is their Qiu family who is really anxious, not our Mei family." But to be honest, if I really want the Wu family to take the position of secretary general of the provincial party committee, I really feel uncomfortable. "What are the plans of Mei Zhanchang?"

"I was thinking that if I had to choose between the secretary general of the Wu family's provincial party committee and the mayor of Yan City of the Fu family, it would be a difficult problem. After weighing it carefully, it is better to let the Fu family succeed "Fu Xianfeng was promoted from deputy secretary to mayor, but it is a small step forward, and the Fu family is in Yan City, and their strength is still limited. But if the Wu family is allowed to succeed and there is an additional secretary general in the provincial party committee, it will be a big trouble, and the Wu family will become a big climate in Fu Province......"

Mei Shengping's attitude was expected by Xia Xiang, he actually had a calculation in his heart, if he had to choose one of the two, he would rather let Fu Xianfeng succeed, and it would indeed be much better than the Wu family having one more heavyweight in Yan Province. If the Wu family really wins the throne of the secretary general of the provincial party committee, the balance of the province will be broken, and there may be an unpredictable battle.

At that time, whether it is the Mei family, the Qiu family, or the Fu family, seeing that the Wu family is dominant in Yan Province, they will try their best to install people in Yan Province, in order to seize territory and obtain benefits as much as possible. Because of the strife between several families, it will be difficult for Yan Province to maintain a stable and united political situation.

Xia Xiang didn't want to see such a result, and the central high-level wouldn't want to see it, and they would also stretch out their hands to stop it. But after all, several forces are huge, and it is not so easy to completely veto them. "I feel the same way." Xia Xiang agreed with Mei Shengping's proposal: "Minister Mei, what should I do next?" ”

"I want to talk to Qiu Xufeng about it......" Mei Shengping paused for a moment and laughed again, "It's up to you to tell Qiu Xufeng and ask him to come to the provincial party committee to find me." ”

Mei Shengping wanted to talk to Qiu Xufeng, obviously to ask the Qiu family to come forward and make contact with the Fu family, and put forward some quid pro quo to impress the Fu family, so that the Fu family would give up cooperating with the Wu family. What the Fu family wants is nothing more than the position of mayor of Lang City, if the Qiu family and the Mei family both support the Fu family to win the mayor of Yan City, in exchange for the Fu family's position of not supporting the Wu family, it should not be a big problem.

Everything is just an exchange of interests, the Fu family is wary of the Wu family, coupled with the relationship between Qiu Xufeng and the Fu family, I believe that Fu Xianfeng is still more willing to believe in Qiu Xufeng in his heart, and in the long run, the Wu family has won the throne of the secretary general of the provincial party committee, which is also a great disadvantage to the Fu family.
