The central government's intention to plot Lang City has been going on for a long time, but it has never succeeded, and it has not been forced later. Lang City is connected to Beijing, Tianjin and Yan Province, and its location is very important, and at the same time, it holds the throat of the Beijing-Kowloon Railway in the southeast of Beijing. In the early years, when the capital wanted Lang City, Yan Province responded that if it was transferred, even the two poorest prefecture-level cities, Charter City and Decheng City, would also be taken together, but the capital did not agree.

Not only because of the political environment of Lang City, which is very complicated, but also because of the more worrying point, the Dajing City Economic Circle is expected to officially break ground next year, and Lang City is the first batch of pilot cities!

Whether it was the hint of the prime minister, or someone else deliberately arranged for him to go to Lang City, it was all well-intentioned. And what worries Xia Xiang even more is that Ai Chengwen, the secretary of the municipal party committee of Lang City, is said to be a member of the Qiu family, and the mayor Xiang Guguo's background is unknown, but he can be sure that the background is also in the capital!

Another point that makes it difficult for Xia Xiang to guess the intention of the high-level is that the central government still takes advantage of the economic circle of the capital to re-mention the matter of transferring Lang City to the capital?

The complex political environment, the geographical location with mixed advantages and disadvantages, the uncertain positioning of the city, and the political atmosphere that is biased towards the capital and far away from Yan Province, Lang City is really a place that makes people confused. Someone asked him to go to Lang City, I'm afraid it wasn't because he wanted him to survive the transition period of two or three years, but because he wanted to profit from the chaos? Or let him light a fire or extinguish it? Only the people behind the scenes know it in their hearts.

At the beginning, Xia Xiang also imagined countless possibilities in the matter of where he was going, and finally probably guessed that he might stay away from Yan City, but he didn't go out of the general direction of Yan Province, and even prepared for the worst, and went to the two poor cities in Yan Province to stay for two years, of course, the better result was to go to Qintang City, which was easy to make political achievements, but in the end, he still didn't expect it, but he wanted him to go to Lang City.

Why is it Lang City?

Xia Xiang rarely smiled bitterly, but he had to shake his head and smile bitterly. High-level employment is really clever. He went to Lang City, whether it was lighting a fire or extinguishing a fire, he would definitely not live in peace, and he would not have a comfortable life. It is much more dangerous than in the Xiama District, because the Xiama District is in Yan City, and Yan City is the provincial capital, and under the noses of the leaders at the provincial and municipal levels, even if they toss, they will be carefully controlled within a reasonable range. Lang City is different, far away from Yan City, not to mention, but psychologically close to Beijing and Tianjin, and at the same time because of too much movement with Beijing and Tianjin, and even the status of Yan City's provincial capital has always been despised, Lang City, can not be said to be Longtan Tiger's Den, but at least it is a place of non-continuation.

What Xia Xiang didn't expect was that when he really arrived in Lang City, he found that the situation in Lang City was so complicated, there were so many rights and wrongs, it was even more amazing than he imagined!

Just heard the news of the transfer, Xia Xiang thought that it would be two days before the organization department talked, but he didn't want to move quickly, and the next day, the organization minister invited him to have tea.

When Xia Xiang came to the Municipal Party Committee, he had just entered the compound of the Municipal Party Committee, and it was Su Gongchen who came to meet him. Su Gongchen seemed to be about to walk out, but when he saw Xia Xiang, he stopped, and smiled: "Secretary Xia, what a coincidence." I heard that you are going to Lang City, congratulations, congratulations. By the way, I have a few words I want to talk to, is it convenient now? ”

Xia thought clearly, Su Gongchen didn't inadvertently walk face to face with him, but deliberately waited here, for Guo Lu's business.

In all fairness, Xia Xiangzhen didn't want to deal with Su Gongchen, but he had to deal with one or two, because Su Gongchen not only had a key vote in the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, but also he had a general relationship with Ye Shisheng.

Although Guo Lu and Li Han got closer, for some reason, Su Gongchen always looked down on Li Han, and Guo Lu and Li Han got closer, because he did not accept Guo Lu.

Xia wanted to see Su Gongchen's smile, which revealed a few sinceritys to some extent, so he said patiently: "Secretary Su, Guo Lu's youth is an advantage, but if you think that you can be frivolous and arrogant when you are young, you just don't understand the meaning of youth, and youth has become a shortcoming that hinders progress." ”

In Xia Xiang's words, Su Gongchen's face changed slightly, and then he looked helpless, pulled Xia Xiang aside, and whispered: "I also know Guo Lu's fault, he just can't put it down, he always wants to be superior, I have criticized him many times, but he doesn't listen." That is, you tell the truth in front of me, and you really love him when you tell the truth...... Don't say nothing, Secretary Xia, if you promise me to find a trustworthy person in the Xiama District to bring Guo Lu for me, I will say a few more words for Jiang Tian at the Standing Committee. ”

Su Gongchen has an ambush? Xia Xiang saw the flickering meaning in Su Gongchen's eyes, because he knew that saying a few good words for Jiang Tian might not be able to change the fact that Li Han might succeed smoothly, but Su Gongchen was determined, did he have any other bargaining chips?

No matter what considerations Su Gongchen had for being so dedicated to Guo Lu, Xia Xiang really couldn't think of any merits of Guo Lu. It's not that he doesn't want to help Guo Lu, nor does he want to beat Guo Lu to death with a stick, but he really doesn't like Guo Lu's personality and ability.

"Guo Lu also has advantages, Secretary Xia doesn't know much about him, and he knows it when he has more contact, in fact, he also has an open-minded learning side......" Su Gongchen looked at his face and saw Xia Xiang's doubts. He knew very well that even if Li Han took over as secretary of the district party committee, Xia Xiang's team would also be in the dismount area, and with his observation, Li Han would not be able to control the dismount district.

Let Guo Lu follow Li Han, there will be no future, the main reason is that Li Han's ability is limited, relying on people to help, he is not hard, and he can't go far.

Su Gongchen admired Chen Tianyu's ability very much, and thought that Chen Tianyu would take over as the district head sooner or later, so he intended to let Guo Lu and Chen Tianyu learn more things for a while. But Chen Tianyu and Xia Xiang have an irreversible relationship, and only when Xia wants to speak, Chen Tianyu can accept Guo Lu.

"......" Xia Xiang pondered for a moment, sometimes in political matters, you must also cooperate with some people who see the wind and rudder, officialdom is a big dye vat, there are all kinds of characters, and it is the long-term way to learn to deal with all kinds of people, "Let Guo Lu get a period of time with Wu Gang, Hong Kong has rich experience in grassroots work, and it will definitely be of great help to Guo Lu's future work." When will Hong Kong say that Guo Lu is indeed down-to-earth, let Guo Lu follow Tianyu again, if he can learn something from Tianyu again, I believe that his future road will be broader......"

Su Gongchen thought for a while, nodded and smiled: "Congratulations to Secretary Jiang Tianjiang for me...... In addition, Chen Yuli, secretary of the Lang Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, is an old friend of mine, and I will introduce you when I have time. ”

Xia Xiang smiled, shook hands with Su Gongchen, and went upstairs. What he wondered in his heart was that when he heard Su Gongchen, he meant that Jiang Tian's position as secretary of the district party committee was secure, so why did Su Gongchen think that all the standing committee members would support Jiang Tian without giving face to the secretary of the provincial party committee?

When Xia wanted to go upstairs, he met acquaintances in the municipal party committee, and everyone greeted him with a smile, and he took the initiative to greet him from a distance, as if he was afraid that it would be impolite if he was a little late, which made him puzzled. He went to Lang City not to step into the main hall in one step, it can only be regarded as a flat transfer, and compared to the number one leader in the Xiama District, it is actually still inferior, why is the people of the municipal party committee treat him well, as if his transfer is promoted?

When he got upstairs, Xia Xiang suddenly realized, it turned out that although he did not step into the main hall, it was the ministers of the provincial party committee and the municipal party committee who jointly talked to him.

Even if he goes to the prefecture to serve as the secretary of the municipal party committee, there may not be the head of the provincial party committee organization who will come forward in person, and Mei Shengping is not given face by anyone. But then again, Mei Shengping has never come forward according to the routine, and personally came to the municipal party committee to talk to Xia Xiang, which not only alarmed Hu Zengzhou, but even Yu Fanran had to come forward to greet him, which made the entire municipal party committee fluctuate and have no intention of working.

Mei Shengping didn't care at all, so he ignored other people's speculations and discussions, he came when he wanted to, even if many people in the provincial party committee had opinions about him, he didn't care. Because he felt that Xia Xiang had suffered a loss by going to Lang City, he had to come to Xia Xiang to make a big move.

Mei Shengping came, Qiu Xufeng was under the greatest pressure, but he had to greet him with a smile. Generally at the level of Xia Xiang, at most one general deputy minister of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee will come forward, which is not a lot of face, and the appearance of the executive deputy minister is a big face, but now that the organization minister comes forward in person, he doesn't know what to say.

It's not that I'm jealous of how good the relationship between Xia Xiang and Mei Shengping is, but that he can't do things well, in fact, Xia Xiang's transfer is still under the jurisdiction of the Municipal Party Committee, and the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee just coordinated it and went through the motions, Mei Shengping was good, and he came in person, which made him cry and laugh.

What made Qiu Xufeng even more embarrassed was that before waiting for Xia Xiang to come out, Mei Shengping sat in his office, without saying a word, as if he didn't want to talk to him, so he didn't let him sit or stand, and he didn't dare to pretend to read the documents - reading documents is a special method for leaders to hang their subordinates, and now he is a subordinate, and Mei Shengping is the leader.

Fortunately, Xia Xiang came in time.

As soon as Xia Xiang entered the door, the expressions of the two people who were embarrassed in the room immediately became vivid.

After shaking hands separately, Mei Shengping patted Xia Xiang's shoulder, and the expression on his face was a little complicated: "Xia Xiang, go to Lang City to serve as a deputy, do you have any grievances?" ”

Generally, the head of the organization will talk to someone, and he will tell you the result directly, and then listen to you show your loyalty, saying that it is okay to obey the organizational arrangement. Xia Xiang was also accustomed to Mei Shengping's surprise, and smiled: "I obey the organizational arrangements safely." ”

"Okay, there are no outsiders here, Qiu Xufeng is half an outsider to me, and to you, he is not an outsider." Mei Shengping waved his hand, ignoring Qiu Xufeng's embarrassment, and said, "Executive Deputy Mayor of Lang City, fortunately, it's better than the deputy mayor of the Standing Committee, some people have a heart to take care of you, but they don't fully do it." I really want you to do a big job, and directly move Gu Xiangguo away, how good it would be for you to be the mayor. ”

This is not what the organization minister of the provincial party committee should say, Qiu Xufeng really didn't hold back, and coughed a few times.

Xia Xiang also guessed that he must have been transferred to the past, because the secretary and mayor of Lang City have not been in office for a long time, and the situation is very stable, at least on the surface, and neither of them has the qualifications to rise to the next level, so in the past, it is possible that he is either a deputy mayor of the Standing Committee, or an executive deputy mayor, or a deputy secretary, but it is unlikely.

Of course, he also thought about the possibility of the general deputy mayor, but after thinking about it, he still thought that the person who wanted him to go to light a fire or extinguish the fire would not even let him in the Standing Committee, which would be too stingy. An ordinary deputy mayor, in Lang City, whose eyes are higher than the provincial party committee's focus only on the capital, is only at the bottom, and he has no right to speak or execute.

Executive Vice Mayor ...... Fortunately, fortunately, it is not high, it is not low, it is not up or down, it is a position that can be advanced and retreated, and it also confirms someone's hard work. Whether it is a tempering for him or a test for him, anyway, he is sandwiched between the secretary of the municipal party committee, the deputy secretary and the mayor, which is a key point that can get closer to the secretary and can also be with the mayor.

It can not only become the vanguard of the mayor to tightly control the government team, but also become the pawn of the secretary of the municipal party committee to resolve the authority of the mayor. Where to go, how to stand in line, no one pointed out, it was all up to his own eyes to discern the direction.

It is said that it is safe to obey the organizational arrangement, but in fact, who does not have a little complaint and idea? But even if there is, it can't be shown, even if Mei Shengping and Qiu Xufeng don't care about him out of personal relationships, he has to be cautious, after all, the two people in front of him now represent the two-level organization department.

Fortunately, Qiu Xufeng broke the siege in time: "It's okay to go to Lang City, Secretary Ai's side, so I can talk." ”

It's okay not to mention Ai Chengwen, but as soon as Ai Chengwen is mentioned, Mei Sheng calms down and doesn't fight anywhere: "You don't know what Ai Chengwen is like, it's strange that he can get along with Xia Xiang......."

Qiu Xufeng shook his head helplessly: "Don't mention it, don't mention it, with Xia Xiang's ability, when you arrive in Lang City, you will definitely be able to open up the situation smoothly and show your skills in Lang City." ”

"It's useless to talk about the current situation of Lang City, we can't see it clearly from a distance, but we also know a little bit of rumors...... Ai Chengwen and Gu Xiangguo are both overly high, and there are 12 members of the Standing Committee, all of whom have backgrounds in the capital, so it is not a good place to be calm. Mei Shengping waved his hand and refuted Qiu Xufeng very unceremoniously, "I'll just say it bluntly, someone sent Xia Xiang to Lang City, but in fact, he was asked to stir up the situation, of course, they themselves have a nice saying, which is polishing." If the jade is not cut, it will not be made. But he didn't make any promises to Xia, it was too uninteresting. ”

For Mei Shengping's grievances for him, Xia Xiang just laughed at it, he couldn't say that he didn't have any complaints in his heart, but he also knew that sometimes he couldn't appreciate the beauty of the willows and flowers until the mountains and rivers were exhausted. Moreover, political wrestling, sometimes in the open, sometimes in the dark, before he becomes a big man in charge, proper training is also very beneficial.

Throughout the resumes of many of the audience's Xinjiang officials, there are times when they fight alone to turn the tide.

And it is good to regard it as a real tempering for yourself, as an official, sometimes you have to be ruthless, if you are not ruthless to yourself, it is difficult to be ruthless to your opponent. If you are not cruel to your opponent, you are irresponsible to yourself. Because, the real competition in officialdom is not always a gentle drizzle, Fu Xianfeng still has a civilized side, maybe some opponents are naked rudeness and threats, but he can still mix in a high position in the officialdom, what can you do with him?

Countering violence with violence,-for-tat for tat, or as a last resort.

Langshi is not a tiger's den in Longtan, but it is definitely a place of right and wrong. A prefecture-level city in Yan Province, every day to focus on the capital, often to the provincial party committee's instructions to disobey the yin, but always cross the provincial party committee to the capital, can be a beautiful place to be strange!

Subsequently, Mei Shengping and Qiu Xufeng went through the motions as usual, and the conversation was over.

After the cutscene, Mei Shengping remembered something, and asked with an expression that had never been serious: "Xia Xiang, let me ask you something, you are honest with me - is there any hands and feet behind the incident of the Siniu Group?" ”

This question is really difficult to answer, but Xia Xiang also knows that he has touched the root of the interests of the Fu family, and has also touched the most taboo place of the family forces, whether it is Mei Shengping or Qiu Xufeng, they will inevitably be wary of him.

However, even if he had a good relationship with the two, he would definitely not tell the truth, so he shook his head and smiled: "I am the secretary of the Xiama District Party Committee, and I am not far from Yan City, I often linger on both sides of the Xiama River, 108,000 miles away from the United States, my hands are not so long, and I don't have so much leisure." ”

The explanation was decent, but Qiu Xufeng and Mei Shengping glanced at each other, and both of them had doubts in their eyes.

Mei Shengping still expressed the worry in his heart: "There are some thunder pools that can't be crossed, Xia Xiang, you have to know in your heart." No matter how good the friendship is, it is not as good as the great interests. ”

Mei Shengping's words are very realistic and realistic, Xia Xiang's heart moved, knowing that what Mei Shengping said represented both the position of the Mei family and the position of the Qiu family, a reminder, and a wake-up call, warning him not to cross the line, otherwise, no matter how good the relationship is, there will be times when it turns around.

The world is big, and the interests are the greatest, Xia Xiang also knows very well in his heart that he has a good relationship with Mei Shengping and Qiu Xufeng, and he has always gotten along well, just because there is no fundamental interest involved, as long as there is a conflict of interest, no matter how big or small, there will be no more scenes of talking and laughing now.

The fundamental interests of the family cannot be touched, and if he moves, he may be jointly suppressed by the four major families, and at that time, his situation will be really dangerous. If the four join forces, with his current foundation, he will basically be destroyed in one round.

However, Mei Shengping also stopped at the point, and did not say more, and then, he said some gossip, and when he left, Mei Shengping said something that surprised Xia Xiang: "When you go to Lang City to take office, I will send you there." ”

Xia Xiang opened his mouth wide in surprise, and wanted to say something, but was blocked by Mei Shengping: "It doesn't matter what you say, you have to obey the decision of your superiors." Besides, I didn't send you off, but I was passing by, visiting an old friend in the Lang Municipal Party Committee, and then going back to the capital to see you off, but it was just a piggybacking thing. ”

Even so, when a deputy department-level cadre takes office and is personally accompanied by the head of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, not to mention the shock of the entire Lang City Municipal Committee, the Yan Provincial Party Committee will also cause a sensation, and even Ye Shisheng will come forward to stop it on the grounds of not complying with the rules!
