Cao Shumu looked up at the roof: "If you want to marry me, it's difficult, you have to pass the ninety-nine-eighty-one level, wait, there will be many tests in the future!" ”

Xia Xiang scratched his head: "I don't know if the person who likes you will have the perseverance to complete the test?" ”

"There is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of those who have a heart. As long as he really likes me, will he still have no determination? Cao Shumu's eyes wandered, and he suddenly pushed Xia Xiang, "What kind of idleness are you having, and it has nothing to do with you?" ”

"Yes, it's your personal matter, and I really don't have the right to intervene."

"Are you itching? See how I clean you up......" Cao Shumu was annoyed, and went to fight Xia Xiang, Xia Xiang ran away, and the two accidentally bumped into each other again...... In the afternoon, Cao Shumu went to his grandparents' house for a few hours, and originally planned to stay overnight before leaving, but Xia Xiang suddenly received a call from Gao Hai, saying that Chen Feng was going to see him early tomorrow morning. Mayor Chen's summons could not be delayed, so Xia Xiang had no choice but to resign to his parents and tell the reason.

As soon as I heard that the mayor of Yan City wanted to see Xia Xiang, Xia Cheng was more anxious than Xia Xiang, so he didn't have to worry about his family, and left immediately. Xia wanted to know that his father had been cautious all his life, he had never seen a big official, and he was born with the fear of officials, so he didn't say much, so he asked Cao Shumu's opinion.

Although Cao Shumu still wanted to accompany his grandparents more, he didn't want to go back by himself, so he went back to Yan City with Xia Xiang. After the group of three had dinner, they hurried on the road again.

Fortunately, the single city is not far from Yan City, and it is a high-speed whole, and it is cooler at night, open the skylight, turn on the headlights, put on the music, and drive all the way in the summer night.

Because it was Lian Ruohan's car, Xia Xiang didn't know what kind of disc was inside, so he turned on the stereo casually, and it was a soothing violin piece. The sound of the song is like flowing water, which is troublesome and forgettable, and Cao Shumu unconsciously hums an unknown tune, the tune is light and jumpy.

The night was like water, the cool breeze was blowing, and it was flying all the way, and even Ruohan was infected, and she also hummed to the tune of Cao Shumu. Xia Xiang smiled slightly, and Lian Ruohan became cheerful at a perceptible speed, and most of it was due to Cao Shumu's surname.

Thinking of Cao Shumu's opportunity to hand over the money he deposited in her hands to his parents, he felt inexplicably relieved, this little girl is really a strange elf, but it makes people find fault with it. Needless to say, she killed three birds with one stone, one was to repay his parents for him, the second was to indirectly tell him that I am not a fan of small fortune and will not ask for your money, and the third is to announce to his parents that his money was in her hands, so that his parents know how close the relationship between them is.

Little girl, there are so many eyes.

Early the next morning, Xia Xiang took a taxi directly from the hotel to the municipal axe. This time, he went to the door of the municipal axe, and as soon as he filled in his name on the registration book, he saw the guard stretch out his hand to let him go: "Secretary General Gao ordered, let him go directly." ”

The specifications have been improved, Xia Xiang smiled, Gao Hai can even think of this detail, it seems that he is really interested in him.

Xia Xiang originally thought that Chen Feng saw him because he had moved Chen Feng with the idea he gave Gao Hai, and Mayor Chen specially wanted to meet him and learn more about it, but he didn't want Mayor Chen and Xia Xiang to meet The first sentence surprised him.

Chen Feng's office is not as luxurious as Xia Xiang imagined, a dignified deputy provincial cadre, and there is no leather sofa in the office, all wooden chairs. Although mahogany furniture is also valuable, wooden chairs are not as comfortable to sit on as sofas. Xia Xiang guessed Chen Feng's intention, which was to make the people who came to report work not sit so comfortably, so that they would not talk nonsense.

Chen Feng didn't put on the mayor's stand at all, as soon as Xia Xiang entered the door, he stood up and took the initiative to stretch out his hand - Xia Xiang took two steps and held Chen Feng's hand with both hands, showing excitement and enthusiasm on his face at the right time, and at the same time looking at the iron-fisted mayor who was rumored by the people at close range.

Chen Feng is younger than on TV, his hair is black, not dyed black, it is normal black, his hands are wide and powerful, his eyes are very sharp, when he stares at people, it seems that black eyes fill the entire eye socket, and when he looks at it, it is a little scary.

Chen Feng was also looking at Xia Xiang unabashedly, he let go of Xia Xiang's hand and pointed to the chair: "Xiao Xia, sit ...... You're a little younger than I thought you were, but there's one thing I'm overestimating you......"

Gao Hai was shocked, Chen Feng dared to say that he was famous for daring to do it, he accused Xia Xiang in person, Xia Xiang was young and vigorous, don't bump into it in front of him, in case it is unpleasant, but it is all his fault.

Xia Xiang didn't have Gao Hai's stunned or surprised worries, but asked with a smile: "Although Mayor Chen criticizes, I have both ears very tight, and I must be able to listen to my opinions." ”

Chen Feng couldn't help but laugh: "Xiao Xia is still very funny, who said that capable people are not good at talking?" I think it's a completely one-sided view. To be honest, Xiaoxia, I appreciate your humor, but I don't like your old age very much, you are still young, you must be energetic, you must be motivated, don't be afraid to make mistakes, dare to rush and dare to break through, sometimes a heel fall, maybe it will benefit you for a lifetime. ”

Chen Feng's opening remarks are really distinctive, Xia Xiang thought to himself, the officialdom is step by step, and if you are not careful, you will lose everything, and few people who fall on their heels in the officialdom learn a lesson, most of them fall down and have been slumping ever since. Officialdom is not comparable to a shopping mall, and if you fail, you can get up again. Once they lose power in the officialdom, there are very few people who can return to power.

He didn't agree with Chen Feng's point of view, but he didn't refute it face-to-face, but nodded and said: "What Mayor Chen said also makes sense, but I'm here to listen to Mayor Chen's instructions today, so I must correct my attitude first." If you really want to be specific to work, I also have a hot posture. ”

Chen Feng didn't answer, and shouted outside: "Jiang Tian, someone came to report work, go back first......"

Jiang Tian responded, came in from the outside, and wanted to pour water for Gao Hai and Xia Xiang, Xia Xiang took the kettle first, poured it for Chen Feng first, and then brought a cup to Gao Hai and himself, and said with a smile: "I am a small secretary, Secretary Jiang is a big secretary, first small and then big, I will pour it." ”

Jiang Tian smiled faintly, didn't speak, nodded and went out. He didn't think much of Xia Xiang's performance, thinking that he was a bit contrived, but he knew what to say and what not to say, so he retreated very interestingly.

Chen Feng took a sip of water: "Look, Xiao Xia, you are really used to being a secretary, and you don't let go of these little things?" If I put a burden on you all of a sudden, I'm a little worried that you won't be able to bear it. ”

Xia Xiang was shocked, Chen Feng had something to say, could it be that he had not given up on transferring him to Yan City?

Sure enough, Chen Feng directly said his original intention in the next sentence: "I want to transfer you back to Yan City to serve as the deputy director of the urban village transformation team, Xiao Xia, tell me your specific views on the transformation of urban villages, and how to proceed next?" ”

Chen Feng didn't give him a chance to refuse, perhaps thinking that he wouldn't refuse at all, but directly skipped the first question and asked him the second question, which meant to test his thinking.

Xia Xiang said with an embarrassed face: "Mayor Chen, this is too sudden, I don't have any psychological preparation, and besides, I am young and serve as the deputy director, it is too scary." I can't serve the public, and my ability is limited, so I can't take on the heavy responsibility. ”

"Don't shirk me, I'll make it clear, Xiao Xia, the transformation of North Street is your idea, the transformation of Minzu Street is also from your idea, and how to solve the problem of Du Village and Nanfang Yijian, it is also your idea, when do you want to install it?" Chen Feng spoke straightforwardly, without the subtlety and tactfulness that a mayor should have, he pointed at Gao Hai with his hand, "When Gao Hai first gave the renovation plan of North Street, I guessed that there must be someone behind him to point out. Don't think I'm the mayor and I'm blocked by my people, so I can't hear or see anything. I don't have to hear or see, and I can guess that Gao Hai, who has been working in the political axe organ, will definitely not be able to think of a plan with obvious commercial characteristics. ”

Chen Feng smiled proudly, and there was even a hint of cunning on his face. Gao Hai sat on the side with an embarrassed face, and waved his hand at Xia Xiang: "Mayor Chen is too powerful, he knows the people in the officialdom very well, and knows that the officials in Yan City and even Yan Province are conservative, and they rely on policies to promote things, and rarely consider business strategies." The renovation of North Street and Minzu Street has obvious commercial traces, and Mayor Chen guessed that it was the same person's idea. When I talk about how to solve the problem of Du Village and the southern construction behind it, Mayor Chen applauded the case at that time......"

"That's right, I broke a cup at the time." Chen Feng is not a quiet leader at all, his joy and anger are written on his face, "The officials in Yan City are very left-minded, they would rather seek no success, but seek no fault, so that they will not come up with a roundabout way to solve the problem, and those who can use the power of the political axe will definitely not negotiate." Those who can enforce it will never open their mouths to persuade them. I know them too well, and although Gao Hai is still the most intelligent among these bureaucrats, he can't think of using the means of division and co-optation to disintegrate the first construction of the south, because this hand is too beautiful, too commercial and too insidious! ”

Chen Feng said that he was excited, and waved his right hand vigorously, almost touching the floor lamp next to him. Xia Xiang was almost amused by Chen Feng's exaggerated posture, no wonder there are a lot of rumors about Chen Feng among the people, it seems that sometimes the rumors are not groundless, Chen Feng is not only strong, dare to speak and dare to do, but also a mayor with a real surname!

If his current movements and expressions were put on TV, they would definitely shock all the people of Yan City so much that they couldn't find the north!

Officials are also human beings, and they are two-faced people, and their usual anger, shock, and surname expression will never be seen.

However, being praised by Chen Feng as insidious, Xia Xiang is still a little embarrassed no matter how thick-skinned he is.

Gao Hai's face was not good-looking, after all, Chen Feng spoke too straight, although he didn't beat him to death with a stick, he didn't leave much mercy. Fortunately, when Chen Feng learned that his clever plans were all from Xia Xiang's idea, he didn't blame him at all, but praised him for his insight and found a cadre for him.

Gao Hai can't tell the truth if he doesn't want to, he knows Chen Feng, if he lets Chen Feng find out who came up with the idea, he will be immediately ignored by Chen Feng, as long as Chen Feng is in power for one day, he can't talk about promotion, maybe he won't even be able to sit firmly in the position of secretary general.

The most intolerable thing for Chen Feng is the deception of people he trusts!

Gao Hai told the truth, Chen Feng didn't mean to blame at all, it was just a whim, and he couldn't wait to see Xia Xiang. It happened that Xia Xiang was also in Yan City, and under Gao Hai's arrangement, he facilitated the first informal meeting between Chen Feng and Xia Xiang.

"I like insidious tricks......" followed by Chen Feng's words, almost made Xia Xiang think that there was something wrong with his ears, as the mayor of a sub-provincial provincial capital city, Chen Feng spoke too much like a politician, he was simply a hot-blooded young man, he was very satisfied with Xia Xiang's surprise, "Because I like to think about problems straight, and I don't know how to go around the corner, Xiao Xia, your method of overcoming rigidity with softness makes the opponent bitter and unspeakable, and you have to be convinced, to be honest, I don't believe that you are really only 23 years old?" How about it, Xiao Xia, I'm honest with you, you should also show me something, hehe, isn't it? ”

At this point, Xia Xiang has to admire Chen Feng, his cleverness lies in his generous statement just now, which makes you feel that he is the expression of his true surname, makes you think that he is familiar with you at first sight, and makes you believe that you are the person he admires the most, as for whether the speech just now is a true portrayal of him, or maybe it is just his natural acting talent, the basic quality of a politician, only he knows it in his own heart.

If anyone is immediately confused by what he did just now, and can't help but become a confidant and die, whether he jumped into the game set up by Chen Feng in advance, there is no way to know, maybe Chen Feng himself doesn't understand how much truth his passionate speech is!

Politicians are actually born actors, and they are also masters of first-class acting.

Xia Xiangcheng stood up in fear, beads of sweat oozing from his face: "Mayor Chen is really awarded, I am just the secretary of a small county party secretary, I usually love to think nonsense, and sometimes I love to talk nonsense when I drink a little wine, so that Secretary General Gao hears it, and it reaches your ears, as if I have a lot of ability." Mayor Chen, I have the ability to talk loudly, but if I really want to be the deputy director of the urban village reconstruction team, I am afraid I will not be competent! ”

I have to say that Xia Xiang's acting skills are also reasonable, but what he said about incompetence is not modesty, and he knows in his heart that the leader of the urban village transformation team is concurrently served by Chen Feng himself, although the municipal axe does not clarify the level of the urban village transformation team, but the group headed by the mayor is the deputy director, and he is a deputy section level to serve as the deputy director, isn't it clear that others will pay attention to him?

Chen Feng's move not only labeled him as Chen Feng's family, but also meant to roast him on the fire. A young deputy section-level cadre, who serves as the deputy director of the urban village reconstruction team under the direct leadership of the mayor, has all the achievements of the mayor and all the faults of the mayor, and can also attract everyone's attention, divert attention, and ease the pressure from the province.

And he is the pawn who crossed the river without retreating!

Xia Xiang has not yet realized that he has been a pawn of the river for the time being, and he also thinks that now is not the time to charge for Chen Feng. Now Gao Chengsong is like Zhongtian, no one can stop him, and Chen Fengshang of later generations will be defeated in front of Gao Chengsong, as a pawn, once there is a conflict, he will definitely be the first to be eaten by Gao Chengsong.

Even if the problem of the first construction in the south can be solved smoothly as he wishes, the transformation of urban villages is complicated, involving the interests of too many people, and maybe when he will have a hard time with Gao Cheng. Xia Xiang is not saying that he is not ambitious, but he is still a stable person in essence, after all, he has more experience, less enthusiasm, and thoughtful considerations, so he would rather hide in the poor and remote Ba County with Li Dingshan, and spend the Gao Chengsong period safely, and when Gao Chengsong falls, it is not too late to show the water.

Chen Feng looked unhappy: "What's the matter, I don't think I'm sincere enough, or do you think the official is too small?" I heard that you just mentioned the deputy department, so let's come to the urban village reconstruction team for half a year, and after half a year, I will solve the main department for you. ”

"That's not it, it's true that I think I'm still too young and have no experience at all, and besides, the urban village reconstruction team is very important, and I have no experience working in a leadership position, so I'm afraid of delaying Mayor Chen's big event." What Xia wanted to say was also the truth.

Gao Hai watched anxiously from the sidelines, thinking to himself, why didn't Xia Xiang know how to lift? The dignified mayor put down his shelf and personally discussed the work arrangement with a deputy section level, but the deputy section level kept saying that he wanted to refuse, and he felt that he had been an official for more than ten years, only to find that anything could happen in the officialdom, and he could not speculate with common sense.

Officials are all human beings, and all people have different temperaments and surnames, so naturally there are all kinds of examples.

Gao Hai was also not easy to interject, so he had to look at Xia Xiang.

Xia wanted to know Gao Hai's kindness, and smiled at him and nodded, meaning that he knew it in his heart. Gao Hai naturally didn't know what Xia wanted to worry about, and wanted to scold him a few words.

Chen Feng looked at Xia Xiang thoughtfully for a while, and suddenly nodded with a smile: "I understand, blame me for being anxious for a while and forgetting a very important thing......"

He didn't explain what the important thing was, he turned around and took the phone from the table and dialed it: "Secretary Lu, hello, I'm Chen Feng." There is one thing I would like you to explain to Minister Song, because it is about Li Dingshan, and I am not familiar with Minister Song, so I have to ask Minister Song for someone...... His name is Xia Xiang, and he is from Li Dingshan...... Yes, yes, of course I don't need to come forward at the deputy section level, and I don't need to work hard for your big driver, but Xia Xiang is a talent, and he is also very nostalgic, and he refuses to go back to Yan City, so of course he can be forcibly transferred back, but I want him to come back to show his skills, not to deal with errands, so I must let him be willing......"

Xia Xiang glanced at Gao Hai with a wry smile, thinking that the matter was a big deal, just his trivial matter, a small deputy section level, actually alarmed the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, not to mention, he had to use Song Chaodu's relationship again, and then put pressure on Li Dingshan. Chen Feng really thought of doing it, and he didn't hesitate to make a big move in order to get himself back, and he was a little moved in his heart. In fact, Chen Feng didn't know that Gao Chengsong was going to have a conflict with him, and arranged himself to the urban village group, even if he had the intention of using him, it was estimated that he had no intention of letting him charge for him.

Whether it is to say that Mayor Chen is sick and rushed to the doctor, or that he dares to boldly raise talents, anyway, Xia Xiang is very grateful to Chen Feng for his attention, if he hadn't been able to maintain a trace of calm after more than ten years of experience, he would have almost expressed his loyalty on the spot.
