Xia Xiang didn't notice Cao Shumu's abnormality, and went downstairs to greet Cao Yongguo. Cao Yongguo's face was not very good, and there was a hint of worry between his eyebrows. Xia Xiang was stunned for a moment, could it be that Gao Chengsong began to move Cao Yongguo?

Xia Xiang did guess correctly. As soon as Cao Yongguo went to work today, he heard rumors that he was going to be transferred to the head of the Surveying and Mapping Bureau. Although I had heard a little rumor from Minister Lu earlier, it was still only known to a few high-level people, and now there are people openly discussing it in the unit, which shows that someone deliberately released the news, and there is no wind and no waves.

Although he already knew that the transfer to the Bureau of Surveying and Mapping was irreversible, Minister Lu also said that he could not do anything, and Cao Yongguo gave up his mind, after all, with his energy, he could not influence the decision of the provincial Standing Committee, not to mention the Standing Committee of the Standing Committee, there were few people willing to speak for him. And what is even more discouraging is that it is said that he was asked to move his position to make way for Gao Chengsong's people.

Gao Chengsong said everything in Yan Province, no one dared to resist his will, if he obeyed to give way, it would be fine, if he showed impatience and opposition, he was angry, and it was possible to directly transfer him to the Construction Committee to manage logistics.

Bureau of Surveying and Mapping? Cao Yongguo smiled helplessly, speaking of the same level as the Urban Construction Bureau, but the Urban Construction Bureau has jurisdiction over more than 100 large and small construction enterprises in the province, and the real power is in hand, and the Surveying and Mapping Bureau has only one provincial bureau, there are no legs below, and there are no corresponding institutions in various cities, he is almost a bare-bones director.

Originally, before Gao Chengsong's future, Minister Lu also did the work of several other Standing Committee members, and was about to promote him as the director of the Construction Committee, but now, he was sent to the Surveying and Mapping Bureau, and Cao Yongguo's frustration can be imagined.

Going to the Surveying and Mapping Bureau is not as good as the Urban Construction Bureau, Cao Yongguo decided not to take anyone to his post and went alone. However, he was used to Li Jiefu, so he implicitly asked for his opinion, and Li Jiefu happily agreed, willing to take the Surveying and Mapping Bureau with him. Cao Yongguo was comforted by Li Jiefu's nostalgia and decided to help him solve the housing problem as soon as he arrived at the Surveying and Mapping Bureau. He had heard that the Bureau of Surveying and Mapping had nothing else, but there were quite a few vacant houses. If nothing else, he will retire in the Surveying and Mapping Bureau, not seeking no merit but no fault, and using the power in his hands to get a few houses is not a big deal.

As soon as he went home and saw Xia Xiang, a thought suddenly flashed in Cao Yongguo's heart, remembering Li Dingshan behind Xia Xiang, Song Chaodu behind Li Dingshan, and somehow, a somewhat unrealistic idea flashed in his mind. It is said that with his current age and experience, as well as many years of experience as an official, he has long passed the stage of impulsiveness and adventure, so why would he still have unconventional thoughts?

Cao Yongguo turned around and entered the study and said, "Xia wants you to come in." ”

Cao Yongguo's study does not have many books, mostly architectural and planning books, and the layout is also very simple, with a large desk, a sofa chair, and a row of leather sofas. He sat down on the sofa chair, lit a cigarette, and threw the cigarette case forward: "Smoke and take it yourself." ”

Xia wants to wave his hand, he doesn't have a big addiction to smoking, but he doesn't smoke when he doesn't smoke. It was the first time that Cao Yongguo asked him to enter the study, and he had a serious face and a long talk, although he had been looking forward to such a day, he was still a little nervous, and waited silently for Cao Yongguo to speak.

"Xia Xiang, you are on the right path, stronger than my original choice, go directly to the grassroots with Li Dingshan, start from the grassroots step by step, have a good foundation, have a high vision, and slowly cultivate the overall situation, and one day there will be an opportunity for the ruling party. Unlike me, I have been in the industry, my vision is too limited, and I usually come into contact with most of the leaders in the industry, and it is not easy to make progress......"

Cao Yongguo is telling the truth, in the early years, Minister Lu also wanted to help him transfer to the local government as a mayor, even if it was a remote poor city, he tried several times, but still did not succeed, the crux is that he has no experience in local government, of course, it is also related to the lack of strong support in the province, Minister Lu strongly supported Cao Yongguo, but it was difficult to speak alone, and finally had to give up.

In the last night talk, Cao Yongguo pretended to inadvertently mention Song Chaodu, and Minister Lu didn't ask much, but simply said some about Song Chaodu's situation. Song Chaodu is also a native of Yan Province, before the age of 30 has been Yan City audit department as a section chief, his unexpected turning point was at the age of 30, directly promoted from the section chief to the county party secretary of the suburb of Yan City, not only two promotions, but also directly released as the secretary of the county party committee, the span is large, the intensity is fierce, so that everyone is dumbfounded!

Since then, Song Chaodu has been prosperous all the way, from the secretary of the county party committee to the mayor, from the mayor to the secretary of the municipal party committee, and finally to the standing committee of the provincial party committee and the secretary general of the provincial party committee.

Minister Lu also heard the news, saying that Song Chaodu was about to lose power, lose the title of Standing Committee, and be reappointed as Minister of Agriculture and Industry of the Provincial Party Committee. He also vaguely heard that Song Chaodu had someone in the capital, but as for who it was, he didn't know it, either Song Chaodu hid it too deeply, or the identity of the person behind him was too mysterious, in short, there were only rumors, and he also had a general relationship with Song Chaodu, and he didn't have a deep relationship, so it was normal to not know much about Song Chaodu's affairs.

Afterwards, Cao Yongguo also speculated that since there were people in the capital, why couldn't Song Chaodu keep the title of Standing Committee? After thinking about it, he estimated that either Song Chaodu's background was not as tough as Gao Chengsong, or Song Chaodu was advancing with retreat and had other plans.

Cao Yongguo said a lot about the situation of the Song Dynasty that Xia Xiang did not know before. Xia Xiang is not sure about the real inside story of Song Chaodu's retreat, but in later generations, he heard folk rumors that he was squeezed out by Gao Chengsong, and perhaps the truth of the matter is far more tortuous and impossible to guess than what has been circulated in the outside world.

Cao Yongguo finished smoking a cigarette, got up and opened the window, staring out the window. Outside the window, there are several large trees that are lush and green, just sheltering the scenery in the distance, but also in exchange for a rare quiet and elegant. At this time, the twilight is four, the breeze blows, and the leaves rustle, which has a unique mood.

"The relationship between Li Dingshan and Song Chaodu...... What do you think? Cao Yongguo's face was drowned in the night outside the window, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

Xia Xiang was slightly stunned and said, "I haven't seen Song Chaodu all the time, but I often receive calls from him to Li Dingshan. He was classmates with Li Dingshan and Gao Hai, but when Li Dingshan and Gao Hai had dinner together, they never mentioned Song Chaodu......"

Cao Yongguo naturally understood the meaning of Xia Xiang's words, but he still asked uncertainly: "Gao Hai?" Gao Hai, Secretary General of the Municipal Axe? ”

After getting Xia Xiang's affirmative answer, Cao Yongguo affirmed his judgment even more, Song Chaodu admired Li Dingshan more, and kept a certain distance from Gao Hai. To say that after the Song Dynasty lost power, Gao Hai had an advantage over Li Dingshan, why did he choose Li Dingshan, who had no political experience, just because Li Dingshan had experience working in a state-level newspaper?

Could it be that Li Dingshan still has an unknown background?

Unconsciously, Cao Yongguo consciously or unconsciously thought that he already had a bridge that could get to know Li Dingshan and then contact Song Chaodu, and this key bridge was Xia Xiang sitting in front of him. And just not long ago, Xia Xiang was just a college student who had just entered the society in his eyes, still young and shy, and even a little inferior, compared to him now, it can be said that there is a world of difference. The current Xia Xiang is not only mature and steady, but also has clear thinking, and is very calm in dealing with people, not only taking the line of Li Dingshan, but also listening to his tone, and also has contacts with Gao Hai.

Cao Yongguo still didn't believe in everything Xia Xiang had done, especially when Cao Shumu went home last night and told him that Xia Xiang had earned 30,000 yuan in design fees from Chu Zi's master, he was even more shocked. Although Xia Xiang is a student of the School of Architecture, he did not engage in the construction industry after graduation, how could a restaurant owner pay a high price of 30,000 yuan and hire a person who is neither an expert nor a professional to design the renderings of the leisure square? And listening to the meaning of Cao Shumu's words, Chu Zigao obviously had the meaning of pleasing Xia Xiang.

What does Xia want to do?
