Yu didn't stop King Fei from introducing himself, and when King Fei said Zong, he looked at it contemptuously and said, "Did you finish speaking?" What nonsense! He glanced at Xia Xiang lightly, "Who are you Qiu Xufeng?" ”

Xia Xiang was about to speak. In the afterglow of his eyes, he found that there was an acquaintance figure in the distance, and when he turned his head, it was actually Mei Xiaolin. Mei Xiaolin also discovered Xia Xiang and waved at him happily.

Xia Xiang stood up and said to Concubine Fei with a smile: "I lost my companion and turned to Gu Yu and said, "Actually, you are quite energetic, but you don't want to release it."

didn't wait for Gu Yu to say something, and walked away.

Gu Yu sat for a moment, and when she saw that King Fei was still looking at her, she said coldly: "I heard that you once pursued Fu Duoduo?" You don't want to think about it, how can Duoduo like you? She just likes Xia Xiang, who is a netter, and she won't take a fancy to you. ”

King Fei's face changed a few times, as if he was a little afraid of Gu Yu, but finally endured it, and said with a smile: "A man pursues a woman and doesn't work hard, how do you know it's not good?" If every man sees a woman he likes, and he is too timid to pursue it, won't all the women in the world be like you and can't get married? ”

Gu Yu was said to be in his heart, and suddenly glared at King Fei: "It is precisely because there are too many men like you in the world that many women would rather be single."

Xia Xiang came to Mei Xiaolin's side and found that there was a young man of the same age as herself sitting on her right, with a faint face, only glanced at him lightly, and then looked away, as if he didn't exist.

Mei Xiaolin asked Xia Xiang to sit on her left side. Then introduce him to the young man on the right: "Introduce a car, my younger brother Mei Xiaomu." Xiaomu, this is the Xia Xiang I often talk about

Mei Xiaomu smiled reluctantly, with a look of arrogance that rejected people thousands of miles away, he took the initiative to stretch out his hand, and immediately separated with Xia Xiang with a light shake, and said, "Wei Hui, Director Xia." ”

Xia Xiang didn't care about Mei Xiaomu's attitude of ignoring him, he didn't look down on him because he was a princeling, and he didn't hum and beg him, indifference was his attitude, and he could deal with it calmly.

He smiled and said, "Fortunately, Mr. Mei."

Mei Xiaolin saw that Mei Xiaomu was holding the shelf, so she said dissatisfiedly: "Xiaomu, Xia Xiang is my good friend, if you don't respect him, you just don't respect me." ”

"Sister, can you speak more carefully? He's him, you're you, how can you be confused? "Mei Xiaomu didn't dare to hold an attitude in front of Mei Xiaolin, but he also refused to bow his head." Your words are likely to confuse others, as if he were you! I heard that he is married, sister, please respect yourself. ”

Mei Xiaomu's last sentence was very serious, according to Xia Xiang's speculation, Mei Xiaolin should be angry. But she just smiled indifferently. said: "I'm not afraid of shadows, what are I afraid of?" You are my brother, I don't explain to you or scold you. If it were someone else, I would have to scold him if I didn't slap him

Mei Xiaomu looked at Xia Xiang again and asked, "I heard that you have a good relationship with Qiu Xufeng?" Since you and my sister are friends. should not get close to Qiu Xufeng

Xia Xiang smiled: "Mr. Mei seems to be too wide." There are some things that you can't say yet. I don't seem to have any friendship with you, do you speak to me in a commanding tone, or do you speak in a consultative manner? ”

Mei Xiaomu was furious by Xia Xiang's disapproving attitude, and wanted to get angry, but after thinking about it, he felt that he had no reason to ask Xia Xiang for anything, so he said to Mei Xiaolin dissatisfiedly: "Sister, what kind of friend is he?" came all the way from Yan City to attend Qiu Xufeng's wedding, obviously patting the Qiu family's sycophants! ”

Mei Xiaolin ignored Mei Xiaomu and said to Xia Xiang helplessly: "You also saw it?" I used to think that the Qiu family was inferior to the Mei family, but now when I compare my younger brother with Qiu Xufeng, the gap is getting bigger and bigger. Xia Xiang. Can you help me train Xiaomu, he's too proud now. ”

Mei Xiaomu scoffed at Mei Xiaolin's statement, but did not speak.

Xia Xiang shook his head: "He has a good background and a huge family power. In addition, its own conditions are not bad. It's handsome to look good, and it's normal to be a little arrogant."

Listening to Xia Xiang's words, Mei Xiaomu had a faint look of self-satisfaction.

However, Xia Xiang continued: "Everyone has self-esteem, although it is said that self-esteem is too much inferiority, but because everyone likes to be self-centered, they regard things outside their bodies as proud capital. In fact, there is no need for many heirs of big families to be arrogant, arrogance is often a sign of no confidence, just like above the officialdom, among the officials below the department level, arrogance is often the most. Once you reach the department level or above, because you have strong strength, you basically develop an approachable temper. The higher the status, the more easy-going the person will show. Easy-going is not to lower status, on the contrary, the more easy-going it is, the more it can show whether a person has cultivation, quality, and confidence

Mei Xiaomu's face was pale, and he glared angrily at Xia Xiang. I wanted to refute it, but I couldn't speak.

Mei Xiaolin was already so happy that she couldn't stand up straight with a smile. "Why are you smiling so happily?. Mei Shengping's voice suddenly sounded.

Xia Xiang looked back and saw Mei Shengping standing behind him with a wine glass, and there were two people standing next to him. A person Xia wants to know, it is Wu Caijiang. The other person was slightly taller than Wu Caijiang, Tian was many years old, and he was also a little fatter, and he had black-rimmed glasses. The gaze shining through behind the glasses can still make people feel a little stern.

Xia Xiang was slightly surprised, this person's eyes are so sharp, is it the reason why he has been working in the Commission for Discipline Inspection all the year round?

Xia Xiang really guessed correctly.

Mei Shengping saw Xia Xiang, nodded slightly, and said, "Come to Xiao Xia, introduce, Fu Yuanzhi, deputy of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection."

Then he pointed at Wu Caijiang with his hand: "He doesn't need to be introduced, right?" "I said that I didn't need to be introduced, or I said Wu Caijiang's identity," Wu Caijiang, vice minister of education. ”

Fu Yuanzhi should be a member of the Fu family, Xia Xiang smiled respectfully, and waited for Fu Yuanzhi to take the initiative to reach out. If the deputy secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection is not concurrently the secretary of the Secretariat. is a ministerial-level cadre, since Mei Shengping did not specifically point it out, Fu Yuanzhi in front of him should be equivalent to the level of the governor of Yan Province. At the level. It is one level higher than the deputy departments of Mei Shengping and Wu Caijiang.

Fu Yuanzhi slowed down, then slowly stretched out his hand and said, "Xia Xiang" I heard Cai Jiang and Shengping talk about you, saying that you are a young man with vigor and energy. Young people, it is good to be energetic and driven, but it is better to master a degree. Vitality is because of youth, and motivation requires wisdom

Fu Yuanzhi had something to say, and Xia Xiang thought to himself that it might have something to do with his approach to the Mei family and the Qiu family, and he would not have a very good impression of himself. Although the Fu family and the Wu family are not in harmony on the surface, the relationship with the Mei family is average. But he will also participate in the Qiu family's wedding, and walk with Wu Caijiang and Mei Shengping, and everyone still has to maintain an appearance of peaceful coexistence in the big picture.

The entanglement between several major families, Xia Xiang didn't want to be in it. But it often backfires, and because he is working in the provincial party committee, he gets close to Mei Shengping. And because of Lian Ruohan's relationship, it is possible to contact Wu Caijiang, as well as work and cooperation with Qiu Xufeng. Although the relationship with the Qiu family is not very good, it is not very bad, so it is normal for Fu Yuanzhi to have no good impression of him.

Xia Xiang replied respectfully: "Thank you Secretary Fu for your teachings, after I go back, I will take it as my motto and keep it in mind."

Wu Caijiang smiled behind Fu Yuanzhi and nodded secretly at Xia Xiang.

Fu Yuanzhi didn't say anything, and didn't pay attention to the meaning of Xia Xiang's words, turned around and said hello to Mei Xiao and Lin. Xia Xiang stepped forward and said to Wu Caijiang: "Hello, Minister Wu

Wu Caijiang didn't know who he intended to say it to. patted Xia Xiang's shoulder affectionately: "What is Minister Wu, it's too outward, just call Uncle Wu." By the way, Ruohan is also back, and she is at home. Would you like to go over and see her?

Even Ruohan's father is also in the capital, Xia Xiang thought about it or was exempted, I'm afraid Wu Caijiang could guess that he sent Lian Ruohan back to Beijing, what he said just now was just a deliberate talk, so he smiled: "I have to sit with Xu Feng at night, I'm afraid I don't have time, so I won't be troublesome."

"I'll stay in the capital for one more day tomorrow, I have something to discuss with you Wu Caijiang deliberately in front of Fu Yuanzhi and Mei Shengping, to show that the relationship between him and Xia Xiang is very close. Of course, Xia Xiang also knew that Wu Caijiang was not trying to lift him, but used him as a fulcrum, deliberately to pry the relationship between him and the Mei family and the Qiu family.

How could Mei Shengping not understand Wu Caijiang's thoughts? He smiled and said to Mei Xiaolin: "Xiaolin, last time Xia wanted to send you back to Beijing, you didn't say anything and let him go back to Yan City, this time he came to the capital again, as a native of Beijing, you have to do your best to be a landlord, isn't it?" Tomorrow, take time to accompany Xiao Xia, so you can also have a colleague, and the cooperation is quite pleasant. ”

Xia Xiang was a little helpless, the open and secret struggle between the families was a bit unbearable to talk about him, and he was about to open his mouth to decline the invitation of the two families, when he heard a slightly old voice behind him: "Caijiang, Shengping, you seem to have forgotten one of the most important things, that is, Xia Xiang is a guest of our Qiu family today, a guest of Xu Feng, he should arrange everything by the Qiu family, how can he go with you?" Isn't it a joke that our Qiu family is stingy? .

Yes, the big names all appeared on the stage, Xia Xiang hurriedly looked back and saw a person standing behind him. Tall, slightly chubby, with a red face, at first glance, he looks a little similar to Qiu Xufeng. He can guess without introduction, it must be Qiu Xufeng's father.

Xia Xiang called out respectfully: "Uncle."

Although Wu Caijiang wanted to win over Xia Xiang on the surface, he would not lose his politeness, so he introduced the two: "Minister Qiu, this is Xia Xiang, director of the Information Department of the General Office of the Yan Provincial Party Committee. Xia Xiang. This is Minister of State Security Qiu Renli. ”

The last time Xia Xiang told him from Qiu Xufeng that someone from the Yan Provincial National Security Department was following him, he guessed that there was someone in the Qiu family in the National Security Department, but he didn't expect it. Qiu Xufeng's father was the Minister of State Security, which surprised him. In fact, the list of leaders of major ministries. He also knew a little about it, and thought that Di Renli was Qiu Xufeng's uncle or uncle, but it turned out to be his father.

The Ministry of State Security is a special department and cannot be judged on an ordinary level. Xia Xiang shook hands with Qiu Renli very respectfully and said, "The cooperation between me and Xu Feng has always been good, and Xu Feng is calm and mature. Prudence in handling affairs turned out to be due to Minister Qiu's teachings. ”

Just now I called Uncle because I was not sure who the other party was, and I didn't know who the other party's position was, but now I call Minister Qiu an honorific title.

Qiu Renli had a kind attitude and said with a smile: "Why is it called Minister Qiu again?" Isn't it out? I had already heard Xu Feng say about you, so I deliberately asked him to invite you to his wedding, so that he could take the opportunity to move around more. Xu Feng said, you are now one of his best friends, and I am very interested. Because Xu Feng has a loose personality, it is not easy to make friends. In Anxian County for a few years, I haven't heard him say that he has any friends. Now I always talk about you, so I am very curious about what kind of person Xiao Xia is, and let Xu Feng always talk about his goodness? Since you are here today, there is a family banquet in the evening, don't go anywhere, Xu Feng hasn't sat down with you yet, he will be disappointed if you leave. ”

Xia Xiang originally came specifically to attend Qiu Xufeng's wedding, but if he was really pulled away by the Mei family or the Wu family, the Qiu family would lose face. The state will not be angry with him. will also blame him for not being able to do things. Xia Xiang replied to the demon and said, "I have promised Xu Feng to stay at night." Please rest assured, uncle. ”

Qiu Renli smiled, and said to Wu Caijiang and Mei Shengping: "Caijiang and Shengping will also be here at night, and the young people will have a table." We also have a table, none of which are outsiders. If you don't come, you'll see the outside. ”

Mei Shengping and Wu Caijiang looked at each other and smiled, and said, "It must arrive." ”

After an episode, Xia wanted to sit down again, and Mei Xiaomu asked with a dissatisfied face: "You are just a director, why does everyone look up to you?" ”

Xia Xiang shook his head: "In the world, the position is very important, but it is not a decisive role. If you feel that the other party is not as good as you, and the level is not as high as you, and you despise the other party, you will never be able to make friends who really help you. ”

Mei Xiaomu said disapprerovingly: "Fallacy! ”

Xia Xiang smiled calmly: "You took the initiative to ask me, and I didn't take the initiative to ignore you, and it doesn't matter if it's a fallacy." As a member of the Mei family, why did you pay Secretary Fu and Minister Qiu just now. Didn't even talk to you? ”

Xia Xiang noticed that Fu Yuanzhi and Qiu Renli had a brief conversation with Mei Xiaolin just now, but they didn't ignore Mei Xiaomu. Mei Xiaomu was suddenly angry. Suddenly, he stood up: "Xia Xiang, you, you shut up." ”

Mei Xiaolin finally got angry and reached out to pull Mei Xiaomu back to her seat. scolded and said: "If you can't control your arrogant temper, please leave the wedding scene now, no one will keep you, and you will save the face of the Mei family." ”

Mei Navel glared at Mei Xiaolin angrily. Eventually, he relented, stopped talking, and turned his head to the side.

Mei Xiaolin said to Xia Xiang helplessly: "I've been used to it since I was a child, I really can't do anything about him." Since I was a child, my family has been looking forward to having a boy, but as a result, my husband fell for me, and after being disappointed that I was a girl, he gave birth to Xiaomu, and naturally he was not able to love him well, resulting in his current unbeatable virtue. I didn't bother to pay attention to him, I felt that he was incorrigible. ”

Xia Xiang was also reluctant to express more opinions on Mei Xiaolin's family affairs. As long as Mei Xiaomu doesn't take the initiative to stir up trouble. He won't pay attention to him, there is no need to be as knowledgeable as Mei Xiaomu. Thinking of what Qiu Xufeng said before, Xia Xiang smiled secretly, presumably Qiu Xufeng had been as arrogant and arrogant as Mei Xiaomu before, but after he was sent to the grassroots level, he encountered many obstacles in his work, and only knew that arrogance and prejudice ultimately harmed only his own interests.

You are arrogant to others, prejudiced against others, and in turn, others will do the same to you. You use the strength of one person against everyone, and in the end you can't think of any other possibility than a fiasco.

Unfortunately, many people don't understand this truth, as if he is not arrogant or arrogant, he cannot show that he is different. There are two kinds of differences, one is to be in a high position but approachable to be different, and to have the ability to have no temper. One is that the position is not high but the temper is very different, and it is that there is no ability to have a temper. Think about it, everyone wants to be respected by others, even if there is no respect, equal treatment will make people feel good. But if you meet someone who is arrogant and awe-inspiring, even if you are afraid of his authority, you will have a superficial respect. In fact, deep down, there will be resistance to him.

Only by being with light and dust can it have an impact on the people around you. In order to make others accept you, tolerate you, and trust you further. If you always put on an attitude of superiority, you will distance yourself from others, and then gradually drift away from a person who cannot blend in with the crowd, whether it is an official or a businessman, pay attention to the end of failure.

Because if you don't blend in with the crowd, you can't understand everyone's thoughts.

Xia wanted to look at Mei Xiaomu again and felt that he was really a little pitiful, he was not very old, he had to put on a high posture, if he continued like this, he didn't know that he was destined to be a sad end. There are a lot of princelings. In the end, there are very few who can stand in a high position at the provincial level, and even fewer who can reach the center. Why? Because the dog part was eliminated at the grassroots level.

No matter how powerful the family is, it can only be limited to one place or one industry, below, even if you are a princeling, but the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the unspoken rules of officialdom must be observed. And any level of leadership. Nor will they reuse a person who is incompatible with other leading cadres. In a way. Qiu Xufeng can have today, and it is also after he has gone through the most difficult mental journey that he has taken a gratifying step.

It is also a crucial step.

This is reminiscent of Mei Shengping's absurdity back then, it is not easy for him to have today, and he also belongs to a person with great perseverance, otherwise he would not have reached the position of head of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee in the officialdom.

Of course, there is also Wu Caijiang, although some people say that he is hot for three minutes to do things, and some people say that he is not stable enough, etc., but it is not easy for him to be at the deputy ministerial level in the capital. There are people on the top to support it, and if the self-bow is muddy and can't support the wall, it won't work to support it. If it is true that there are only people above who can rise to a high position, then there will not be so many people from the grassroots. Climbed to the provincial level, the center.

Among the huge princeling strata. There are quite a few people who enter the military field, but in the end they stand on their feet, but there are very few.

Fang: Brothers, would it be good to have a few more monthly passes? The support of your monthly pass is less. My lack of motivation makes me write less every day, and it's absolutely accurate. You can see how much influence you have had on me. Then please give full play to the positive influence of your dear brothers, and let Lao He work hard to strive for the top! In addition, our rankings will drop again and again, and if we have ten votes and eight votes, we will be able to rise to several places, and we will have a few tickets, give me strength.
