Chapter 659: The Wind Rises
No way, no, Xia Xiang shook his head, he originally wanted to see Gu Yu and Lao Gu today, so he had to call Gu Yu and say that he would go to see Gu Gu in the afternoon or tomorrow at the latest. (www.ะทZc๏ฝ.com)
Gu Yu seemed to be eating, muttering indistinctly, and only after he finished mumping did he suddenly realize something: "Ah, you want to come tomorrow?" I've prepared meals for grandpa and you...... Okay, okay, knowing that you are a busy man, spare you once, but grandpa said, if you don't arrive tomorrow, he will be angry. โ
Hearing the "beep" sound on the other end of the phone, Xia Xiang was stunned for a long time, smirking and shaking his head. Because all of a sudden, he smelled the breath of a period of conspiracy, and felt that Gu Yu seemed to be falsely preaching the holy decree, and there was nothing to do with Lao Gu from beginning to end, it should be Gu Yu who directed and acted by himself, and deceived him. No matter, let's talk about Mei Shengping first. Xia Xiangxin had a faint thought in his heart, that is, this year, this year, he would not only be not leisurely, but also likely to be dazzled. In the end, it turned out that his guess was not only correct, but also brought a lot of trouble to himself.
The plum house was in the west of Beijing, and he drove westward and walked for more than an hour before arriving at the plum house. Thinking of the later generations of Beijing because of traffic jams and restrictions on foreign vehicles into Beijing, because of traffic jams and let the people of Beijing spend more than 2 hours on the road every day to work, because of the traffic jam and make people angry, Xia Xiang shook his head and smiled helplessly, now the traffic jam has begun to take shape, perhaps experts and professors are not unaware of the future crisis, but are busy advocating the arrival of the automobile era.
Experts are drummers, but unfortunately, it is not the drummer of the times, but the drummer of the manufacturer, and it is often a mess, no rhythm, I think of a play is a play, no, if you have money, you will beat the drum, and if you don't have money, you will play the gong, anyway, you don't tell the truth, only the money.
So the expert slowly degenerated into a derogatory term in later generations and became a laughing stock of the public. Also, whoever thinks he is clever enough to fool the people will be abandoned by the people sooner or later.
The plum house is hidden behind a high-rise building, from a long alley in, thinking that it will be a ruined wall, but when I passed through a wall, it suddenly opened up, and a house with the taste of Jiangnan garden came into view7.
Different from the atmosphere and arrogance of Qiu Mansion, the graceful style of Mei Mansion is more obvious, and the arrangement of rockery flowers and plants is very delicate, and it is good at small and fine. In the northern part of the capital
There is also such a poetic mansion, which can be regarded as making Xia Xiang gain insight. It was Mei Xiaomu who greeted Xia Xiang at the door.
Mei Xiaomu compared with the frivolity and arrogance when he met Fu Xiang at Qiu Xufeng's wedding for the first time
It's already too strong, plus he has seen Xia Xiang's energy recently, and he has been hit hard by Yan Xiao, his temperament has converged a lot, and when he saw Xia Xiang, he greeted him enthusiastically and said with a smile: "Secretary Xia is here...... Come in, uncle, I've been waiting for you for a long time, and I'm still talking about you just now. It's not a good thing to let Mei Shengping talk about it, Xia thought clearly that Mei Shengping would definitely say bad things about him, smiled and said a few polite words to Mei Xiaomu, and walked into the main hall with Mei Xiaomu.
The plum house covers a smaller area than the Qiu house, but the layout is more ingenious, the structure is more exquisite, a three-story villa stands in front of it, has not yet reached the main entrance, as soon as he looks up, Mei Shengping stands on the steps, descending the steps to greet each other. It's enough to give Xia Xiang courtesy.
Xia Xiang was frightened on the surface, but he was not flattered in his heart, and he must have asked for something when he came to the Mei Mansion today, "He knows that although it is not appropriate to describe the Hongmen banquet when he came to the Mei Mansion today, there will definitely be accidents. The unexpected appearance is either surprise or surprise. Xia Xiang hurriedly held Mei Shengping's hand that took the initiative to stretch out: "Minister Mei, Happy New Year!" โ
"Happy New Year." Mei Shengping responded heartily, but said, "The New Year is the New Year, it doesn't matter if it's good or not." It's good to see old friends, but it's not good to see old friends but you don't see bad friends. โ
Mei Shengping had something to say, Xia Xiang pretended not to understand, didn't answer his words, and pretended to care about Mei Xiaolin: "How is Xiaolin doing?" The child can also leave, and it is time to go to work, right? โ
"There's no rush to work, she took a year off." Mei Shengping took Xia Xiang's hand and entered the house, "Xiaolin has been fine lately, and the child is also good, so I happened to come over today, so I can see him." โ
Mei Xiaolin is also here? Xia Xiang thought to himself, yes, is today's party Mei Shengping deliberately arranged a family banquet?
When he arrived in the living room, Xia Xiang thought that Mei Xiaolin was also there, but there was no one else in the living room, but there was an old man with silver hair sitting in the middle. The old man was attentive, thin and small, sitting on the sofa, although very thin, but giving people a very majestic and solemn feeling. Old man Mei, the real helmsman of the Mei family!
Xia Xiang was a little distracted for a moment, he never expected that Old Man Mei would meet him in person, because he couldn't think of any reason to meet Old Man Mei at this stage!
Seeing Xia Xiang coming in, Old Man Mei smiled slightly, didn't stand up, and asked, "You are Xia Xiang?" "There is a slight southern softness in the accent. Xia Xiang replied respectfully: "I'm Xia Xiang, hello Mei Lao."
Old Man Mei nodded slightly, and motioned to Xia Xiang to sit down: "Come, sit down, I'm old, but I like to chat with young people the most, because young people represent the future and hope, especially the best among young people, one by one, one by one, Xia Xiang didn't dare to claim to be the best, especially in front of Old Man Mei, he didn't dare to have the slightest support, and he was busy with a few humble words." "I invite you to come today, and there is nothing else to do, just to meet, have a meal, and have a talk." Old Man Mei spoke softly and softly, which made people feel particularly cordial.
Xia Xiang knew that Old Man Mei's kindness was not really cordial to people, but the condescending kindness that he had cultivated over the years, which could be said to be a performance, or a habit, and could not be taken seriously. "It's an honor." Xia Xiang expressed his flattery in time and smiled sincerely.
Old Man Mei was quite satisfied with Xia Xiang's response, at least Xia Xiang's expression was sincere, so that people couldn't see the falsehood. He recognized that he had read countless people, but he didn't see whether Xia Xiang was acting from the heart or seamlessly.
Old Man Mei's initial impression of Xia Xiang is that he is a very talented young man, with a steadiness beyond his age, and a sincerity much younger than his age, and his attitude is impeccable.
Old man Mei has always been picky about the sun, and he can always pick out more or less deficiencies in anyone he meets, and when he saw Xia Xiang today, he turned out to be the first close to perfect young man he had only seen in his life, which made him interested in Xia Xiang greatly.
Old man Mei didn't specifically want to meet Xia Xiang today, it was a coincidence, he suddenly wanted to come to see Mei Xiaolin and Mei Ting on a whim today, so he came to the Mei Mansion One by one, the old man usually doesn't live in the Mei House, he still likes a comfortable and comfortable house, the space is too big, and the space is too big "People are old, and they don't like space houses.
After the old man arrived, he heard Mei Shengping say that Xia Xiang was in the capital, and he wanted to meet Xia Xiang. Regarding Xia Xiang's name, he had heard Mei Shengping, Mei Xiaolin and Mei Xiaomu say it more than once, and he didn't care much about it at first, but when he inadvertently talked to Old Man Fu later, he also said Xia Xiang's name, and his tone was quite unkind, and he was quite scornful of Xia Xiang, so he was interested in Xia Xiang's name for the first time.
A deputy department-level cadre who is far away in Yan City can actually make Old Man Fu remember it in his heart, not only in his heart, but also very dissatisfied with him, so that Old Man Mei can't help but think, what interests did Xia Xiang pry into the Fu family to make Old Man Fu indignant?
After Mr. Mei stepped down, he basically really didn't ask about things outside the window, which can be regarded as a more thorough retreat. The Mei family's planning in Yan Province and the planning of the whole country were handed over to his eldest son Mei Shengjun to do, but Mei Shengjun did not report to him, and he did not ask.
But later, when chatting with Mr. Qiu again, I heard Mr. Qiu take the initiative to mention Xia Xiang's name, and Mr. Mei couldn't hold his breath, and he couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart anymore, and took the initiative to ask Mei Shengping about Xia Xiang's situation. It's okay not to ask, but after asking, I found out that Xia Xiang and the Mei family also have an intricate relationship!
Old man Mei was more interested in Xia Xiang, and specially asked Mei Shengping to tell him about Xia Xiang for a long time, and when he heard what Xia Xiang did in Anxian County, he was finally moved by the two heavens of ice and fire in the Xiama District. What a young man who is full of enthusiasm, and what a young man who allows the prime minister to come forward to visit.
Therefore, as soon as I came to Mei Mansion today, as soon as I heard that Xia Xiang was also in the capital, and he had not yet agreed on a date to meet Mei Shengping, the old man proposed to take advantage of his presence as soon as possible, so he asked Xia Xiang to come over now, he thought he would meet this young man for a while.
Mei Shengping knew that although his father had a gentle temper, he had always been a good character, so he hurriedly called Xia Xiang.
He didn't have any opinion about the old man and Xia wanting to meet, but he was optimistic. He also believes that the old man wants to see Xia Xiang, not only out of curiosity about Xia Xiang, but also about the layout of the Mei family in Zhao Province.
On the surface, the old man no longer cares about any political affairs, but the rumors that Yan Province and the capital are going to build the Daquan City Economic Park still affect the old man's nerves.
Zhao Province is not compared to other provinces, is the only province in the country that completely surrounds the capital, although the total economic volume is not outstanding in the country, but the geographical location is very important, it can be said that the importance of the capital, geopolitically, is unique in the country. If the economic output value of the capital city is greatly improved, Yan Province will surely become the most influential province in the country on the politics of the capital.
The land of Gyeonggi, surrounded by Beijing and Tianjin, is also the province of Zhili, if in ancient times, the garrison of Yan Province is definitely the most trusted person in Beijing to serve as a general, otherwise once a mutiny, it can change the sky in a blink of an eye.
Surrounding Beijing and Tianjin, guarding the capital, Yan Province is the natural barrier of the capital, and Yan City is the last southern gate of the capital.
Politically irreplaceable geographical location, coupled with the economic prison of the capital, Yan Province and the capital will inevitably be integrated, you have me, I have you, inseparable, when the economic scale of Yan Province will leap to the forefront of the country, Yan Province will become a political and economic province.
Only by starting to prepare now can we make the most of it. Wait for Yan Province to really become a strong province before starting, and it will definitely be ruled out.
Judging from the layout in Yan Province a few days ago, the Wu family has the widest influence and the deepest layout. The Fu family is second, the Mei family is again, and the Qiu family is the weakest.
The Wu family is the most powerful, and the Mei family is not uneasy, because the Wu family is the most powerful of the four, and the old man Wu's political skills, even the old man Mei is convinced, even if Mei Shengping is not convinced, he has to admit that the Mei family is indeed not as atmospheric as the Wu family in terms of layout.
But the Mei family's power in Yan Province was not as good as the Fu family, so Mei Shengping was unconvinced.
When he went home for the Chinese New Year and discussed the issue of the economic prison in the capital with Fu Shengjun, Mei Shengping felt a sense of urgency for the first time.
Originally, I didn't think that Yan Province was important, but now a big capital economic prison immediately made everyone's eyes shine! "I can't wait to seize the highest point of Yan Province immediately, and snatch the position of the first and second leaders of Yan Province into my own hands, Yan Province, in a blink of an eye, has become a fragrant dumpling coveted by everyone.
It is really that the situation is stronger than people, and the plan cannot catch up with the changes, but it is ever-changing, and the interests are still big, and everyone has set their eyes on Yan Province, and all the plans are nothing more than long-term political and economic interests.
Politically, Yan Province may become the cradle of national leaders, and the economy is inseparable, and the Luoji of Yan Province will be inseparable from the capital in the future, as a supplement to some aspects of the capital, it can also complement the capital. The closer the complementary relationship, the greater the influence on the capital, the greater the influence, and the greater the right to speak.
How could the Mei family lag behind the Fu family in the competition that is expected to become the largest province in the country in the future? If you are lagging behind the Fu family in Yan Province, you may be able to fall behind the Fu family in the future. Mei Shengping unanimously came to the conclusion after discussing with Mei Shengjun that if he wants to open up the situation in Yan Province, he needs to find a spokesperson in Yan Province, a Yan Province person who has influence and connections in Yan Province and Yan City, and his level cannot be too high, let alone too low. If it is too high, it is difficult to control, and if it is too low, it has no value. There is only one person who is eligible in all aspects, Xia Xiang.
Yes, only Xia Xiang meets the conditions of the Mei family. He is young, capable, well-connected, influential enough, and at the same time, he is neither high nor low. But there is one point, Xia Xiang meets the conditions of the Mei family, and the same meets the conditions of the Wu family, and likewise, he also meets the conditions of the Qiu family. Except for the Fu family, who was completely at odds with Xia Xiang, three of the four families had good reasons to draw Xia Xiang over to the past. Moreover, the Wu family also has Lian Ruohan and Xiao Lianxia as the biggest favorable conditions, which is the only one that makes it possible for Xia Xiang to fully fall to the Wu family.
Mei Shengping didn't want Xia Xiang to completely fall to the Wu family, although he knew better that it was even more impossible for Xia Xiang to fall to the Mei family, but Xia Xiang's maintenance of the middle position at this stage was in the best interests of the Mei family, and he also believed that it was also the best in the interests of the Qiu family. If the Qiu family is smart enough, they will also let Xia Xiang try his best to maintain his current position in the middle.
But the problem is that Xia Xiang can't really be impartial among several families. Xia Xiang is a human being, not a god, he also has seven emotions and six desires, and he also has distant relatives, whoever moves around with him a lot, he will definitely help someone more. Last time, in order to prevent Fu Xianfeng from taking the throne of the head of the Municipal Party Committee's Organization Department, he helped Qiu Xufeng.
And judging from the current situation, the Qiu family's strength in Yan Province is the weakest, and the Qiu family's desire to open up the situation in Yan Province is more urgent than the Mei family, and at the same time, Mei Shengping also heard the news that Xia Xiang has met with Qiu Renli, and he understands a little more in his heart, he is not sure what Xia Xiang is thinking, but it is certain that the Qiu family has stepped up the pace of entering Yan Province and winning over Xia Xiang.
Mei Shengping realized that with the finalization of the Dajing City Economic Park, with the Wu family's move and the Qiu family's urgency, Xia Xiang's importance rose again, and once again became the object of competition among all forces.
But because of this, Xia Xiang will become a thorn in the side of the Fu family, because the more important Xia Xiang is, the more he will obstruct the plans of the Fu family One by one, Xia Xiang will not cooperate with the Fu family no matter which one he cooperates with, on the contrary, he will create obstacles for the Fu family everywhere.
Moreover, the stronger the Wu family, the Mei family, and the Qiu family, the more they suppressed the Fu family's living space.
What is the attitude and reaction of the Fu family, Mei Shengping doesn't care, what Mei Shengping wants to do most now is to ask Xia Xiang, which one he wants to help with his heart, or which one he prefers the most in his heart.
Mei Shengping thought that the relationship between himself and Xia Xiang was also a teacher and a friend, and he asked half-truthfully, Xia Xiang would not think much about it.
Now Xia Xiang is sitting in front of him, and he is still the same Xia Xiang with a respectful attitude, a sincere tone, and a polite and funny speech, which is no different from before, but in Mei Shengping's heart, he still feels different.
Before, he didn't think Xia Xiang was smart and wise, but now he found out that he still underestimated Xia Xiang. Unconsciously, Xia Xiang has become a key fulcrum, whether he is in the middle or in the middle, with his skills and ability, he will basically be invincible.
Generally speaking, most of the characters on the wall grass type in the officialdom do not end well and will not be reused, and most of the people who want to be left and right are out of tune, and none of them will directly accept him. But Xia Xiang is different, Xia Xiang is exquisite and deeply appreciated by all parties, because Xia Xiang is very clever to do one by one, he maneuvers between all parties, not trying to seek greater benefits for himself, but to help all parties level the relationship and obtain long-term benefits.
The wisest people never put their interests in front of them, they only do what they don't say, they only help others to get benefits on the surface, but in fact, while helping others, all those who have received his favor will keep his help in their hearts.
Letting others remember you is the greatest success of being a person, and it is far better than letting others remember how energetic and important you are. People are emotional creatures, and accepting a person emotionally will remember it for a long time.
Mei Shengping looked at Xia Xiang a few more times as if he didn't know Xia Xiang, thinking that it had only been a year, but he hadn't seen him for a few days, and he felt that Xia Xiang was different again.
