Chen Feng hung up the phone with a meaningful smile on his face: "Xiao Xia, I have done my best to be benevolent and righteous, if you still don't agree, I will tie you back." Think about it, you are in the municipal axe, with my support, Gao Hai's support, and soon Mayor Cao's support, what are you afraid of? Let go of your hands and feet and do it boldly, it's yours to make political achievements, and if something goes wrong, I'll take care of it, with Gao Hai and Mayor Cao, can I still hurt you? ”

Chen Feng also felt a little guilty in his heart, Xia Xiang was talented, but the transformation of urban villages involved was too large, and it was safe to say that it was a thankless task. So when the group was just established, he originally wanted to ask Cui Xiang, secretary of the municipal party committee, to be the leader of the group, but Cui Xiang refused on the grounds that there were more things in the province. However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the group of the secretary of the municipal party committee who is not named actually shows that the municipal party committee does not support or oppose the reform group.

At present, there are two deputy directors of the urban village reconstruction team, both of whom are elites drawn by Chen Feng from various departments of the municipal government. One is Qu Yaxin, 30 years old, originally worked in the Municipal Women's Federation, Zhengke, because she worked meticulously and was very patient, she was temporarily transferred by Chen Feng to serve as the deputy director, used to persuade the old men and old ladies in the nail household and the middle-aged and elderly women.

Another person named Wu Gangde, 38 years old, was originally the head of the City Appearance Management Section of the Urban Management Bureau.

These two people can be described as one and the same, and the average nail household can't stand the two of them taking turns to fight, basically all the way smoothly, without encountering too much resistance. It wasn't until after the Ducun incident that Chen Feng realized that Qu Yaxin and Wu Gangde did work well together, but they were both generals, not handsome, and lacked a person who could lead the overall situation and have economic acumen to deal with the complex situation.

Chen Feng thought of Xia Xiang.

Chen Feng also knew in his heart that Xia Xiang was too young to shake the scene, so putting him in the position of deputy director was indeed roasting on the fire. It's hard to say whether he can do practical things, maybe just the exclusion and dumping in officialdom can ruin him. A 23-year-old young man, no matter how smart and intelligent he is, but he has no experience in the struggle in the officialdom, he hides behind the scenes and comes up with ideas, but if he really wants to show up and go to the leadership position, he may only know that he will be deliberately faulty in the end, and then check and balance everywhere, he is young and vigorous, if he does stupid things and wrong things again, he will be ruined for the rest of his life.

Therefore, Chen Feng was still a little guilty in his heart, because he also knew that his intentions were not so open. But now it is really unthinkable, the transformation of urban villages is now halfway through, and it is difficult to move forward halfway, and there are also double pressures from the province and the city, which makes him anxious.

It happened that Xia Xiang's two designs were in his eyes, and he learned that the renovation ideas of North Street and Minzu Street were also Xia Xiang's ideas, and the means of dealing with Nanfang Yijian were very old-fashioned, which made him stunned, so he moved his mind and said that he would transfer Xia Xiang to his side and let him go to the urban village reconstruction team to break through.

As for how far Xia Xiang can go and whether he can bring new ideas to the urban village transformation team, although Chen Feng is very much looking forward to it, he also has an attitude of giving it a try. Of course, he didn't think about the consequences of Xia Xiang's failure, when his political future was bleak, Xia Xiang would also be implicated, but in officialdom, every step is like gambling, if you don't gamble, how do you know if you win or lose?

Chen Feng's unwillingness made him spare no effort to get Laxia to get on the boat.

Xia wanted to know that as soon as Chen Feng's phone called, he was no longer able to return to the sky, and it was a foregone conclusion that he would return to Yan City, and there was an appointment with Uncle Cao for half a year earlier, so he suddenly made up his mind, and the surname Suo pretended to be a good person in front of Chen Feng - his body was slightly owed, and the expression on his face was respectful and excited: "Since Mayor Chen thinks so highly of me, it is hypocritical for me to disobey my fate." Thank you Mayor Chen for your appreciation and love, I will work hard to live up to your high expectations......"

He saw a satisfied smile on Chen Feng's face, and thought to himself that Chen Feng's leadership style was eclectic, as if there was no leadership art, but in fact, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that his way of acting was very clever, and it was easy for people to convince him and use him willingly. Xia Xiang thought a little wickedly, since you were coaxed and forcibly pulled onto the thief ship, and you didn't act like a mayor, if you don't make a request now, I'm sorry for your good intentions, he paused and said, "However, I still have a small request......

Chen Feng waved his hand happily: "If there is a request, I will try to solve it as soon as possible." ”

What Xia wanted was Chen Feng's generosity and high profile, and he smiled embarrassedly: "I want to ask Mayor Chen to give me half a year to handle the affairs of Ba County." Do things from beginning to end, Ba County has my friend's investment, and there are one or two projects to be launched, I have participated in the whole process, and now if I throw it down immediately, it is irresponsible for the work and irresponsible for myself...... I hope Mayor Chen can understand my plight. ”

Chen Feng took a sip of water, gently put his stainless steel water cup back on the table, looked at Xia Xiang for a while, and suddenly slapped the table: "Okay, it's decided." After you go back, you tell Secretary Li and say that I, Chen Feng, thank him. ”

Gao Hai personally sent Xia Xiang downstairs, and Xia wanted to know that he had something to say, so he was not polite. When he arrived downstairs, Gao Hai pointed to the high walls around the municipal axe with his hand: "Mayor Chen is going to tear down these walls so that the people can see the municipal axe building at a glance...... Mayor Chen is charismatic and courageous, and if you follow him, you will have a great future. After you go back, tell Ding Shan that Mayor Chen is also an emotional person, and if Ding Shan has anything in the future, he will help him speak. ”

Gao Hai seemed to have something to say, but he shook his head again: "Go back to Ba County and give me a call." ”

I went back to the hotel, had a good night's sleep at noon, and slept until 3 p.m., when I was woken up by a phone call. picked it up and looked at it, and sure enough, it was Li Dingshan's phone.

Li Dingshan's tone couldn't tell what the attitude was, of course he didn't want to let Xia go back to Yan City, but the situation was stronger than people, so he had to let go, because Song Chaodu personally called him to state the stakes.

"Xiao Xia, Chaodu asked you to come over, he wants to see you. You go directly to his house to find him, the No. 2 Courtyard of the Provincial Party Committee ......"

Song Chaodu wants to see him?

Xia Xiang was stunned and stayed for a long time before he woke up from the trance of his nap. He has always been looking forward to when he will have the opportunity to meet with the Hou Feng Yi official and leave a good impression on him, which is also the key to his always valued Li Dingshan. Song Chaodu is a person who will eventually soar to the sky, knowing him at his latent stage and gaining his favor is much more effective with half the effort than when he is flying in the future.

It's just that Li Dingshan has never arranged for him to meet with Song Chaodu, and it is absolutely impossible for him to take the initiative, and there is no reason. Now the opportunity has come, and the suddenness makes him a little unbelievable - he really wants to meet with Song Chaodu, and he still goes directly to his house to meet?

Going to meet at home is much different from Chen Feng's meeting in the office. When meeting in the office, no matter how close the two are, there is always a taste of business. When you go to meet at home, it will be mixed with personal feelings. Xia Xiang naturally knew that he was stained with Li Dingshan's light, but at the same time, he also explained that Song Chaodu did not treat him as an outsider.

At the very least, it's a pretty good start.

The No. 2 Courtyard of the Provincial Party Committee is located at the top of Hongjun Street, which is a dead end, about 1,000 meters long, and is full of residential areas, inhabited by family members of the Provincial Party Committee, retired senior cadres and high-ranking figures in the army. In the past, the city also tried to open up the Red Army Street, but it was unanimously opposed by the province and the army, so it had to give up. Xia Xiang came to Hongjun Street and walked on the quiet street, which can be regarded as realizing the benefits of preferring to a dead end rather than a smooth avenue.

It's quiet, it's too quiet, the trees on both sides are towering, it's cool, there are almost no vehicles on the road, and it's only when you are in it that you can experience the wonder of being quiet in the middle of noisy. It is also right not to open up, once it is opened, unless the traffic is restricted, many vehicles will pass through the Red Army Street, and there will be a lot of noise.

The No. 2 Courtyard of the Provincial Party Committee is located next to the Military Region's Cadres Rest House and consists of more than a dozen five-story buildings. The small building looks small and stocky from the outside, and it belongs to the kind of residential buildings that are not outstanding in appearance, but the construction quality is absolutely first-class, and the design area is very large. Xia Xiang went upstairs, visually measured the thickness of the exterior wall, and thought to himself that the residential buildings in Yan City generally require seven levels of earthquake resistance, and there is no problem with this building being nine levels of resistance. Looking at the pattern again, we know that this kind of one-ladder two-family house, each household is at least 200 square meters, and there are more than 30 households at the top of a building. However, if it is developed into a commercial building for sale, it must be designed to be at least 60 households.

Song Chaodu's family lives on the third floor, 301, Xia wanted to knock on the door, the door opened a crack, and a little girl of thirteen or fourteen poked her head out, she was a little thin, she looked very pure, her eyes were big and bright, she had short hair, she was wearing a vest and shorts, revealing her slender arms and legs. There was a scrutinizing look in her eyes, staring at Xia Xiang: "Who are you?" Who are you looking for? ”

Xia Xiang smiled honestly: "My name is Xia Xiang, and I'm looking for Minister Song...... Well, it's an appointment. ”

Xia Xiang's signature honest smile was really lethal, and the little girl really immediately relaxed her vigilance, turned around and shouted: "Dad, Xia wants to find you, can you let him in?" ”

"Let him in." Song Chaodu's voice came from inside, thick, nasal, and a hint of the local dialect.

The little girl opened the door and asked Xia Xiang to come in: "Remember to change your shoes...... The biggest pair you wear, yes, the fattest pair. She didn't leave Xia Xiang's left and right, instructed him to change his shoes, and led him to his study, and kept monitoring his every move like an overseer.

The house is not small, the living room is more than 30 square meters, the furniture in the living room is all solid wood furniture, the brand is not clear, but it is definitely not ordinary. The room is not luxuriously furnished, but it reveals a strong bookish atmosphere, compared with the dark decoration style of the Shi family, the color of the Song Dynasty's home is lighter, and more warm colors are used, which can be seen from the owner's mentality.

The Song Dynasty looks young, with an authentic national face, thick eyebrows, small eyes, but very divine, big ears and ear wheels, not to mention anything else, just the appearance can be said to be very blessed. If he was born in the Tang Dynasty, the country-shaped face was his favorite face shape when the officials were elected, square and majestic, and he would definitely be able to achieve a high position.

Seeing that Xia wanted to come in, Song Chaodu got up from behind the desk and reached out to shake hands with him. The first time he met the legendary character, even though it was home, Xia Xiang's heart was pounding. Others said that even in the face of Chen Feng, he didn't feel nervous, and he didn't know if it was because he knew that Chen Feng was unjustly imprisoned in later generations, or because of Chen Feng's surname, he felt that Chen Feng had no official authority, and his surname was straightforward.

Song Chaodu is different, whether he is sitting or standing, he is very official, giving people a feeling of immobility like a mountain, calm and powerful, although he also has a smile on his face, but the smile also reveals a majesty and seriousness, so that Xia Xiang experienced the huge pressure brought by majesty for the first time!

Chen Feng, Cao Yongguo and Li Dingshan, although they also have a majestic side, they are still not much different from the Song Dynasty. It's not that a person with official authority will necessarily be in a high position in the future, but Song Chaodu gave Xia Xiang the feeling that this person is very deep and not easy to approach.

Song Chaodu didn't shudder either, and went straight to the point: "Xia Xiang, it's the first time we've met, and we've talked on the phone once before, right?" Although his tone was elevated, Xia wanted to know that this kind of affirmative question did not need him to answer, and sure enough, Song Chaodu did not give him a chance to answer, and said, "Secretary Lu called me and said that Mayor Chen was going to transfer you back to Yan City, but I didn't expect this little thing to alarm Secretary Lu and surprise me, it seems that Mayor Chen is really willing to work you!" ”

Xia Xiang bent over and smiled, but did not speak, he also knew that Song Chaodu did not need him to answer at all.

"Ding Shan doesn't want you to go back to Yan City, in fact, in my opinion, I think it's better for you to come back. It's not that it's bad to follow Ding Shan, but there are more opportunities in Yan City, what do you say? In this way, after you go back, stay in Ba County for half a year, handle the work at hand, and officially come to Yan City to work next year, I also promised Ding Shan to take care of you, you can come to me directly if you have anything, you also know the address at home, my phone number you want to Ding Shan, in a word, whether it is in Ba County or Yan City, don't forget, Ding Shan and I are always your strong backing. ”

Song Chaodu didn't speak quickly, but he spoke clearly word by word, and after he finished speaking in one breath, his face was still calm, and from his expression, he couldn't see his true thoughts.

Xia Xiang nodded and said, "Thank you Minister Song for your teaching, I will keep it in mind." Mayor Chen's appreciation of me was also a great surprise to me, but you can rest assured that no matter where I am, Secretary Li and Minister Song are my most trusted leaders. He knew that Song Chaodu had said a lot of things, and the last sentence was the point, which was to remind him that he could work with Chen Feng, but he had to understand which team to stand on.

Not to mention that Xia Xiang is not a nostalgic person, he does have some feelings for Li Dingshan, the first step to officialdom is because of Li Dingshan's relationship, even if he does not mention the emotional factor, he will not firmly get too close to Chen Feng, history will still stubbornly move towards the established process, who dares to guarantee that the case of Gao Chengsong framing Chen Feng will not be repeated?

Compared with Chen Feng's uncertain future, Song Chaodu is the one who will soar into the sky one day!

Song Chaodu saw that Xia Xiang was very smart, and he was able to see it through, so he nodded slightly, and was about to open his mouth to send off the guests, when he suddenly saw his daughter Song Yifan come in with a glass of water and put it in front of Xia Xiang: "Drink water!" ”

Song Chaodu was surprised, he knew that his baby daughter had always been very lazy, and she always took the initiative to call her to do some work, she might not be willing to, but today she came uninvited and took the initiative to pour water for Xia Xiang to drink, which made him very interested, and asked with a smile: "Xiaofan, why are you so sensible today, you know how to pour water for guests?" ”

Song Yifan smiled sweetly, with two cute little dimples on her face, she looked at Xia Xiang generously and said: "This guest is very well-behaved and obedient, he will wear whatever shoes I ask him to change, and his smile makes people feel very kind." I thought, such a well-behaved big brother must be thirsty when he comes in from outside, so I will pour him a glass of water. ”

Facing his daughter, the expression on Song Chaodu's face was much more relaxed: "Okay Xiaofan, the water has also been poured, it's time to do your homework, Dad still has business." ”

Song Yifan answered, nodded and went out, and glanced at Xia Xiang before leaving, with a hint of a little girl's cunning and naughtiness in his smile. Xia Xiang smiled when he saw the newspaper, and felt that she was quite cute and not arrogant.

Because of Song Yifan's unexpected appearance, Song Chaodu suddenly changed his mind again, chatted casually with Xia Xiang, said a few words about the situation at home, and asked him some thoughts about the transformation of urban villages, and he suddenly asked: "What do you think about the prospects of urban village transformation?" ”

Xia Xiang didn't know if Song Chaodu just asked casually, or if he really cared about the development of urban villages, he thought about it for a while and replied: "The transformation of urban villages is a good thing, Yan City, as the provincial capital, has fallen behind a lot in the country at present, and urban villages are not conducive to the further development of Yan City." However, the transformation of urban villages involves the interests of all aspects, whether it is in the process of transformation or future development and reconstruction, it is related to the livelihood of thousands of families, so there are many difficulties, and it is estimated that there will be many unimaginable problems. ”

Song Chaodu nodded: "Fortunately, your worries are right, and the province is also cautious about the transformation of urban villages." Originally, Secretary Gao intended to stop, but he didn't expect Mayor Chen to push it very hard, and it was out of control, and now half of the urban villages have been demolished...... It is an opportunity for you to go to the urban village reconstruction team, but it is also a huge challenge, so you must be mentally prepared. ”

After chatting a few more words, Song Chaodu suddenly asked: "You have a good relationship with Cao Yongguo?" ”

"When I graduated from college, I wanted to stay in Yan City, so I entrusted Uncle Cao's relationship. I've been moving around since then, and now the relationship is pretty good. Xia Xiang thought to himself that the power circle was big and big, and it was small and small, and there were some things that Song Chaodu wanted to know, and it was not very difficult. It's just that he couldn't guess Song Chaodu's intentions, so he didn't say much.

Song Chaodu smiled: "Listen to Ding Shan, you and Cao Yongguo's daughter are making friends?" It's a good thing, take advantage of every opportunity......" he stood up, "I still have something to do, so I won't leave you alone." ”
