Ai Chengwen held Mei Shengping's hand tightly and solemnly promised: "Please rest assured that Minister Mei and the Provincial Party Committee will do a good job in the work of the Lang Municipal People's Congress." ”

Mei Shengping and Ai Chengwen's routine conversation was to tell Ai Chengwen on behalf of the organization that to do a good job in the work of the people's congress and not to have problems in the election, otherwise the provincial party committee would be embarrassed.

If Xia Xiang loses the election, as soon as the provincial party committee is passive, some people in Lang City will be unlucky.

Ai Chengwen will bear the brunt of the political responsibility, because he is also the director of the National People's Congress! Ai Chengwen's statement was quite sincere, he thought that he would be appreciated by Mei Shengping, but Mei Shengping only nodded slightly, and seemed to be dissatisfied, so he moved in his heart, why, he was not satisfied with the Lang Municipal Party Committee or him? Mei Shengping patted Ai Chengwen on the shoulder, but his eyes looked at all the people of the Lang City Party Committee who saw him off, and said loudly: "Lang City is very close to Beijing and Tianjin, which is a good thing and a bad thing.

The good thing is that with the help of the advantages of Beijing and Tianjin, the economy of Lang City will be developed.

The bad thing is that it is easy to make people's hearts flutter and not do a good job.

In the enterprise, there is one kind of person who is the most hateful, that is, eating inside and crawling outside.

In the system, there is also a kind of person who is not liked by the superior leaders, that is, he thinks differently.

I suggest that everyone work hard and do their own work, believe me, although the provincial party committee is farther away from you than the capital, but the provincial party committee is still very aware of your every move, and the organization department understands the ability and work attitude of each of you. ”

Mei Shengping left, but his words were like a hammer, knocking on everyone's heart.

has been in the officialdom for a long time, who doesn't know the threat in Mei Shengping's words? Tell everyone very bluntly, don't think that you can do anything if you are close to the capital and have a backstage in the capital, your promotion and evaluation are still in the hands of the provincial party committee, and you can't run.

Sure enough, he is the head of the organization department of the provincial party committee with a lot of personality, but people have the capital and the confidence to speak foul language, and it is true that everyone's hats are in the hands of the organization department, even if the organization department cannot be taken off casually, but it is not difficult to dye it black or red.

Mei Shengping left, but Qiu Xufeng didn't, and Qiu Xufeng then did something that surprised the Lang Municipal Party Committee.

When Xia Xiang came to Lang City from Xiama District to take office, he did not bring a secretary to come, leaving Chao Weigang in Xiama District, and upon his recommendation, Chao Weigang served as Jiang Tian's secretary.

According to the regulations, party and government cadres at the deputy department level should not be equipped with secretaries, but the situation is that many deputy county-level leaders even have secretaries, and Xia Xiang, as a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and executive deputy mayor, cannot be said without a secretary by his side.

But since he didn't bring a secretary, he had to be appointed by the Lang Municipal Party Committee.

In terms of the arrangement of Xia Xiang's secretary, Ai Chengwen and Gu Xiangguo have not yet reached a consensus, both of them have suitable candidates, and there is no final decision on who to report to Xia Xiang to choose.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Mei Shengping left, Qiu Xufeng mentioned it very inappropriately: "Comrade Xia Xiang's secretary arrangement, has Secretary Ai implemented it?" When Ai Chengwen was promoted from the main department to the deputy hall, it was indeed because of the Qiu family's push that he successfully crossed the most critical promotion, so he has always been grateful to the Qiu family.

is in the deputy hall, which is a checkpoint that 60% of department-level cadres will be stuck, but he still has a smooth promotion without danger, which is completely promoted by the Qiu family.

But it does not mean that he must follow the instructions of the Qiu family in everything.

Although Qiu Xufeng is also at the level of the main hall and is at the same level as him, he can talk to him in a consultative tone, but he can't use an instructive tone.

Another point, Qiu Xufeng is the head of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee of Yan City, and he can't manage Lang City, so why should he meddle in the internal affairs of Lang City? Xia Xiang's secretary also asked, is it too lenient? Ai Chengwen was very unhappy in his heart, but he couldn't show it, in front of everyone, he wanted to give Qiu Xufeng a little face, so he had to smile reluctantly: "Oh, a few candidates have been provided, wait for Mayor Xia to choose." ”

Gu Xiangguo glanced at Qiu Xufeng with a puzzled expression, thinking that Mei Shengping and Qiu Xufeng spared no effort to raise Xia Xiang, it was really evil, what ability did Xia Xiang have, or what background was there that was worthy of Mei and Qiu being so keen on him? However, Gu Xiangguo also thought about it more, Mei Shengping and Qiu Xufeng were ostensibly lifting Xia Xiang, but in fact, they may have ulterior motives, and if they raised their heads too much, they were killed.

Among the people in Lang City, who have the same idea as Gu Xiangguo, there are also many people who are deeply dissatisfied with Xia Xiang's appointment with great fanfare, and at the same time they are not optimistic about Xia Xiang's prospects in Lang City.

Low-key and pragmatic people may not be able to stand alone in the complex environment of Lang City, and a person who likes to be flamboyant will probably not end well in Lang City.

Lang City is not more conservative and regular than Yan City, Lang City has the rules of Lang City, there are rules on the surface, or the rules behind the scenes.

Not only must we maintain a superficial obedient relationship with the provincial party committee, but also maintain a relationship with the capital, and we must appropriately throw flattery to Jincheng to see if we can exchange for some investment.

Oh, Chen black and white eats it all, needless to say, he also has the ability to call the wind and rain in Lang City.

And Wang Qiang Rose is a famous courtesan in Lang City, in fact, it is not only famous in Lang City, it is said that in Beijing and Tianjin, Wang Qiang Rose is so famous that it is almost to the point that no one in the circle knows it.

And there are many rumors about Wang Qiangrose, and some people say that she is the mistress of a high-ranking official, and she is snobbish.

Lang City can no longer simply use political influence to influence, nor can it be divided into factions based on economic interests, which is so complicated that people are walking on thin ice.

Many people in the Lang Municipal Party Committee have handed over major matters to the secretary and mayor for adjudication, and they can consult Oh Chen's opinion on the matter, and they can only have the final say on small matters.

Therefore, many people have the same mind, how high they hold and how hard they fall, it depends on when Xia Xiang is disgraced and will only sober up after a few falls in Langshi.

In the end, you are still young, I heard that you haven't been out of Yan City yet? It's no wonder that the flowers that grow in the greenhouse, where can they withstand the wind and rain? It's a pity that if you go to the capital to stay up for two years, even if you go to the bull market or other obedient cities, it is better to be an ordinary deputy mayor than to be the executive deputy mayor of Lailang City.

Lang City is not a place for political achievements, let alone a place for fooling around, Xia Xiang, it is good to want to gild, but it is in the wrong place.

Xia Xiang didn't know that everyone was not optimistic about his prospects in Lang City, his attention was drawn by Qiu Xufeng's question, Qiu Xufeng suddenly asked his secretary a question, which made him have a plan in his heart, and no one in the major families refused to give up their influence on Lang City, after all, Lang City was too close to the capital.

If Mei Shengping had to send him to Lang City and introduce Liu Yilin to him -- it is reasonable to say that he was the head of the organization department of the Mei Shengping Provincial Party Committee, but Qiu Xufeng, in his capacity as the head of the organization department of the municipal party committee, came to Lang City on official business, but directly mentioned his secretary without his consent, in all fairness, Xia Xiang was indeed a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Qiu Xufeng was a little in a hurry, even if Lang City's situation was special, he should have said hello to him in advance.

Qiu Xufeng didn't notice Xia Xiang's expression, and he wouldn't fail to hear the perfunctory meaning in Ai Chengwen's words, so he still smiled: "I have a candidate, I want to recommend it to Secretary Ai, with my understanding of Xia Xiang, the person I recommend should be the most suitable for his secretary." ”

Ai Chengwen was unhappy, but he still pretended to be curious and asked, "Who is it?" Let's hear it. ”

"Li Caiyuan!" Qiu Xufeng threw out his candidate, and glanced at Gu Xiangguo with interest.

Gu Xiangguo's heart was excited, how could it be Li Caiyuan? How did Qiu Xufeng know about Li Caiyuan? Li Caiyuan is a secretary of the Secretariat of the Municipal Party Committee, with the rank of deputy section.

Last year, when I was preparing to raise the department, I was reported to have a style problem, and then a woman brought her child to the municipal party committee to make trouble, although Li Caiyuan did not admit it, but it still caused a storm in the city, and the matter of mentioning the department was naturally over.

Moreover, he was originally the secretary of the deputy mayor, and after this incident, the deputy mayor was afraid that the impact would not be good, so he replaced him.

Now, although Li Caiyuan also comes to work at the municipal party committee every day, he has basically become a transparent person, ignoring him, and no leader uses him to draft documents.

For such a character that no one cares about at all, how could Qiu Xufeng propose to let him serve as Xia Xiang's secretary? He's got a good brain, right? Of course, Qiu Xufeng's brain was fine, still smiling, looking at Ai Chengwen, waiting for him to answer.

Ai Chengwen thought about it for a while, but he couldn't figure out what the purpose of Qiu Xufeng's proposal was? Is it deliberately burying Xia Xiang, or is it really idle and deliberately adding to the chaos? Of course, neither of the previous two should have been Qiu Xufeng's original intention, but he really couldn't think of any great use for Li Caiyuan, so he said: "Wait a minute, I'll ask someone to bring Li Caiyuan's information, ask Comrade Xia Xiang to take a look, and let him decide." ”

It's strange that Xia wants to use Li Caiyuan! After everyone here heard Li Caiyuan's name, some snickered, some were shocked, and some gloated.

Didn't you say that Qiu Xufeng and Xia Xiang had a good relationship? Then what was his idea to propose Li Caiyuan to be Xia Xiang's secretary? What everyone didn't expect was that after Qiu Xufeng finished proposing, no matter what the result was, he was accompanied by Liu Yilin to exchange work experience, and he didn't seem to care about Xia Xiang at all whether he agreed or not.

Xia Xiang also moved into his new office in Lang City under the arrangement of Chang Shuxin, secretary general of the municipal government.

The Lang Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government work in a compound, and they are in the same building, Xia Xiang's office is on the 5th floor, and his executive vice mayor's office is not badly furnished, which is much more luxurious than his office of the district party secretary in Xiama District.

Xia Xiang found that the office conditions of the Lang Municipal Party Committee are really first-class, not only the decoration is luxurious, the furniture is new, and it is all famous brands, which reflects the noble side everywhere, of course, from another point of view, it is luxury and waste.

His office is not small, more than 50 square meters, and it is also divided into two rooms, the outer room is obviously reserved for the secretary.

The interior has a large sofa and a bed, as well as potted plants and a thriving begonia.

Xia Xiangqi said: "The begonias were left by Mayor Rui? Chang Shuxin is about 40 years old, slightly fat, not tall, walking bent over, the smile on his face seems to take root, and it has never disappeared.

In the end, he is the big housekeeper of the city government, and the level of receiving people and things is not low, although Xia Xiang will not have a good impression of him as soon as they meet, but it will definitely not make you feel bored.

"It was Mayor Rui who left it.

Mayor Rui said that Begonia has been with him for many years, and when he has feelings, he wanted to move away, but when he thought that the tree would die and the person would live, it would be better to stay, in case he killed it because he loved it, it would be a sin. ”

Regan is also interesting, Xia Xiang glanced at Chang Shuxin a few more times, and had an idea in his heart: "Old Chang, Mayor Rui left me a begonia, which means noble, I have to thank him...... Or can you thank me for it? Chang Shuxin still smiled: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, Mayor Rui lives in the east of Lang City, and I'll call you to convey your meaning when I turn around." ”

Come and don't be rude, whether Regan intentionally or unintentionally left a begonia, Xia Xiang wants to start from Regan to see if he can understand Chen's personality and background from the side, begonias, just use it as an introduction.

Chang Shuxin was quite careful, and after arranging the office, he sent Li Caiyuan's information.

After Xia Xiang glanced at it a few times, he immediately made a decision: "Please tell Secretary Ai and Mayor Gu, if there is no problem, let Li Caiyuan be my secretary!" "Huh?" Rao is Chang Shuxin has been in officialdom for many years, and he was also surprised by Xia Xiang's courage to reuse a secretary with a style of life! Originally, he had worked hard to convince himself that Xia Xiang was no longer shocked that he was the executive deputy mayor at such a young age, but he didn't expect that Xia Xiang still dared to be the first, and even Li Caiyuan dared to reuse? Chang Shuxin originally thought that after he brought Li Caiyuan's information, Mayor Xia would throw it aside after a few glances, but he never expected that Mayor Xia would use Li Caiyuan on the spot...... His ears have always been good, and he certainly heard it right! Chang Shuxin will not be stupid enough to ask again, when his subordinates, it is the biggest taboo to let the leader repeat the order, he hurriedly answered, turned around and left, just walked to the door, and turned back with a slap on the head: "Look at my memory, Mayor Xia, someone sent an invitation just now, and I forgot to ......give it to you" After Chang Shuxin left, Xia Xiang held the invitation signed by Chen himself in his hand, with a shallow smile on his face.

What a quick invitation, oh Chen is not in a hurry, it is the second wave of temptation.

To go, or not to go? Natsu wanted to close the invitation gently and set it aside, his movements already indicating his decision.

Now is not the time to get in touch with Oh Chen, and Oh Chen may not really want to contact him, but just want to see how he behaves.

It's better to be still than to be still, and wait and see.

Xia Xiang spent two hours to familiarize himself with the office environment and the flow of various affairs.

Although the government has its own set of prescribed procedures, the regulations are dead, people are alive, and how to implement them and whether they follow the process in strict accordance with them all depends on the preferences of the top leaders.

In the final analysis, the work style of the government team brings a lot of personal subjectivity, that is, it is greatly influenced by Gu Xiangguo's character.

Of course, as far as the style of the entire municipal party committee is concerned, it is still more influenced by Ai Chengwen.

Xia Xiang didn't know much about the personalities of Ai Chengwen and Gu Xiangguo, but he only understood a little bit, anyway, he was not in a hurry, and he would be in a long future.

However, I heard that Qiu Xufeng had not left Lang City yet, as if his work exchange would take a day or two, so Xia Xiang couldn't help but speculate in his heart that Qiu Xufeng was going to do some activities in Lang City, what was his real intention? At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the Langshi Municipal Party Committee held another meeting of the Standing Committee, which was not very formal, almost an internal welcome meeting, and it was also a meeting.

At the meeting, Xia Xiang officially met all the Standing Committee members of the Lang Municipal Party Committee, that is, the real core power layer of Lang City.

Ai Chengwen, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Gu Xiangguo, Mayor of the Municipal Party Committee, Liu Yilin, Minister of Organization of the Municipal Party Committee, the above three Xia Xiang had a preliminary impression, and the others still shook hands in a casual manner.

The No. 3 person in Lang City, Zhang Ying, deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, is 45 years old, with a thin face, slender eyes, and always looks listless when he is in a meeting, as if he has an opinion on Xia Xiang, when he met Xia Xiang, he just nodded slightly, and only said: "Welcome!" "I won't say a word.

Lu Yike, secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, is a scholar-type official, who at first glance looks like a university professor, with thick spectacles and a very elegant appearance.

If it weren't for his 48-year-old age, his image would be no worse than any actor in China, and he would even have a poetic temperament.

Xia Xiang thought that he had experienced a lot of leadership groups, and the Standing Committee of the Lang Municipal Party Committee was the best collective image he had ever seen.

Lu Yike nodded slightly at Xia Xiang, and said slowly but very clearly: "Comrade Xia Xiang is really young, and when he came to the young Lang City, he could just show his skills and feet.

However, the geographical location of Lang City is special, it should be noted that sometimes if you accidentally throw a brick, you may throw it into the capital or Jincheng......" Lu Yike had something to say, Xia Xiang could naturally hear it, which meant that whoever he provoked, the other party had a deep background.

However, Lu Yike pointed it out in public, and he didn't know what he meant? Xia Xiang smiled: "Secretary Lu is the most amiable secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection I have ever seen, which makes people feel like a spring breeze at first sight." ”

"The spring breeze doesn't have to be warm."

Lu Yike continued, "There is a good saying-the spring is cold." ”

As soon as Lu Yike's words were finished, Lu Hongzhan frowned imperceptibly.

Lu Hongzhan is the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and the director of the Public Security Bureau, and he is also a very powerful figure in the Standing Committee.

Could it be that there is any holiday between Lu Hongzhan and Lu Yike? Xia Xiang noticed the details of Lu Hongzhan's impatient face, and his heart moved.

Xia Xiang thought that Lu Hongzhan would speak next, but unexpectedly, Liu Yilin took the lead, she smiled lightly, and said something that surprised Xia Xiang: "Actually, last night, Comrade Xia Xiang and I have already met in private......" Liu Yilin met with him in private, although Xia Xiangqing couldn't hide it from Ai Chengwen and Gu Xiangguo, but even if he couldn't hide it, he didn't have to say it in public, what was Liu Yilin's intention? !
