Not to mention that everyone has different minds and guesses, seeing Xia Xiang is also surprised, and it seems that he is also very surprised by Jasmine's appearance, which inevitably makes people wonder, didn't Mayor Xia join forces with Oh Chen, and he was also in the dark about today's matter? If you can't guess, you don't have to bother guessing, anyway, they just follow the fate, they don't have the power to decide, whoever is powerful can just listen to whom, the people who worry are Secretary Ai and Mayor Gu, by the way, after Mayor Gu left ahead of schedule, oh Chen just came to such a show, it seems that he also deliberately flashed the meaning of Mayor Gu.

In the future, the situation in Lang City will become more and more complicated, and we must stand in line as soon as possible.

But on second thought, today is the right time, not only free food and drink, but also gifts to get.

Everyone knows that Chen has always been generous, and the gifts he gave were not less than 2,000 yuan, and they were all high-end and practical gifts.

Earned, today is earned.

Many people were smiling.

Although Oh Chen's generous shot, many people know their own weight, and it is not worth Oh Chen's gift, and today I can get the famous Oh Chen's gift, which is really stained with the light of Mayor Xia.

Xia Xiang didn't have a trace of joy, oh Chen's move was completely to lift him high and make him the target of public criticism.

The more he is raised, the more jealousy and vigilance of other Standing Committee members will be! Oh, Chen didn't want to kill himself on purpose, or he was pushing himself into his elaborate trap step by step...... Although Xia Xiang could guess Oh Chen's intentions, he couldn't stop everyone from taking advantage of it, but he laughed secretly in his heart, Oh Chen may not really want to make friends with him, or want him to take advantage of his position to give him any convenience, maybe there are other plans and I don't know, no matter what, Oh Chen has his own Zhang Liang plan, and he also has his own ladder over the wall.

We'll see.

When others showed favor, he naturally couldn't accept it calmly, so he hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "Thank you for my kindness, Mr. Chen is so warm and polite, I now experience the hospitality of the people of Lang City, and I am more confident in working in Lang City in the future."

When I have time, I will definitely thank Mr. Chen in person, I am ashamed of it, I am ashamed of it! Xia wanted to hug his fists, with a sincere face.

Jasmine stuck out her tongue: "Mayor Xia is polite, a small gift, not a respect, Dad also said that he must make amends to you in person if he has the opportunity." ”

Make amends? Everyone was taken aback, with Oh Chen's status in Lang City, when did he say anything to make amends to people? Even Ai Chengwen doesn't have the ability to suppress Oh Chen's head and let Oh Chen say soft words! What kind of festival happened between Xia Xiang and Oh Chen, is it worth it Oh Chen is so enthusiastic and mobilizes the public, and let his baby daughter come forward and deliberately show favor in public? Ai Chengwen's eyes flashed, and he glanced at Xia Xiang coldly.

Liu Yilin also glanced at Xia Xiang meaningfully, and then her eyes fell on Jasmine's body again, with a lot of speculation.

However, Lu Yike, secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, didn't look at anyone, just lowered his head and drank, with a faint helpless smile on his face.

…… After the banquet, everyone received a gift downstairs.

As expected, the gifts are brand-name ties and shirts, with a market value of more than 2,000 yuan.

Having food, drink and gifts is a good thing, everyone left happily, and they also had a thank you for Xia Xiang.

Thanks to thanks, small interests are not enough to make people remember Xia Xiang's good, maybe forget it in a blink of an eye.

Xia Xiang didn't see Oh Ne-Chan downstairs--Of course he wouldn't, Oh-Na-Chan wouldn't have let his daughter show up—but he hadn't recognized whether Jasmine was gold or silver, and when he asked her, she smiled and shook her head.

No matter, let's talk about it later, after all, Chen has been in Lang City for a long time, he has just arrived, and if he wants to make a difference, he must first follow the customs.

In the evening, Xia Xiang stayed in the guest house of the municipal party committee.

There were two beautiful waitresses who were very enthusiastic about cleaning up for him, but he politely declined.

Lang City is full of traps, there are political pits, maybe there are peachy pits, so he won't have nothing to do with the waitress without quality.

When he was about to fall asleep, Liu Yilin called and said that he had something to talk to him.

Xia Xiang refused without hesitation on the grounds that it was too late and inconvenient, Liu Yilin was too shrewd, especially a scene in the Standing Committee that made him unacceptable, and it was better to keep a little distance appropriately.

Two days later, the Lang Municipal People's Congress held a meeting and elected and approved the appointment of Xia Xiang's deputy mayor, and Ai Chengwen, director of the People's Congress, personally issued a letter of appointment to Xia Xiang, which can be regarded as determining Xia Xiang's position as vice mayor in legal procedures.

In the afternoon of the same day, the municipal government held an executive meeting to readjust the division of labor among the government groups, and the meeting decided that Comrade Xia Xiang would be the executive vice mayor, and the division of labor was as follows: responsible for the standing work of the municipal government, in charge of finance, taxation, agriculture and rural areas, agricultural machinery, civil affairs, streets, townships, human resources and social security, reemployment, water conservancy, population and family planning, forestry, poverty alleviation and development, supply and marketing cooperatives, the elderly, the Disabled Persons' Federation, meteorology, earthquake, administrative education, and so on.

Although Xia Xiang is in charge of the most important finance and taxation, Tu Yun is in charge of development and reform, science and technology, major projects, intellectual property rights, high-tech industrial parks, high-tech industrial belts, entrepreneurship of international students, and telecommunications operations, etc., and is also in charge, some of which are also very important, should be under the jurisdiction of the executive vice mayor, such as major projects and high-tech industrial parks, as well as urban construction.

The work on urban construction is not under Tu Yun, but is in charge of another deputy mayor, Shao Ding.

Shao Ding's personality is a bit similar to Wu Gangde, it is said that he has also worked as a chengguan before, of course, he looks five big and three thick, very powerful, and it is not Wu Gangde's thinness can be compared.

As soon as the National People's Congress meeting opened and the executive meeting of the government was implemented, Xia Xiang's position as executive vice mayor was considered to have completed all the procedures, and Xia Xiang officially became the deputy mayor of Lang City in the legal sense! At the same time, because of the hustle and bustle brought by Xia Xiang's assumption of office, it also quietly subsided, and Lang City re-entered the track and restored the original peace and order.

Xia wanted to start devoting himself to work, and he was immediately busy, after all, it involved handover and familiarization, and a lot of things were pressed on his head at once, which was really overwhelming.

Fortunately, Xia Xiang was in the prime of life, and the advantages of being young were fully displayed, and he finally completed the handover and familiarized himself with the basic situation within three days.

It is said that before Reagan stepped down, he should hold on until the last minute and wait for Xia to take office before stepping down.

Regan stepped down a few days early on the grounds of poor health, and when he handed over the work, he only came to the municipal party committee once, and he only met Xia Xiang for less than half an hour, so he couldn't wait to leave, as if he was naturally staying in the municipal party committee for one more minute.

However, although it was only half an hour of contact, Xia Xiang also had a preliminary impression of Regan.

The 60-year-old Regan is in excellent spirits, with a red face and a haircut that is combed to the fullest, and he knows that he usually pays attention to maintenance.

He is tall, swaggering when walking, walking fast like flying, just looking at the posture of walking, I thought he was a person with a fiery personality, but in fact it was not necessarily, Xia Xiang experienced his careful and steady side when handing over the work, and all aspects of things were considered very thoughtfully, almost nothing was missed.

And he has an amazing memory, many previous big and small things, people who handled them, and even data can be remembered clearly.

Even Xia Xiang secretly admired Regan's memory and meticulous work attitude, and expressed his gratitude to him for the begonias he gifted, Reagan laughed and waved his hand again and again: "Don't thank me, don't thank me, I'm just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, begonias were given to me by Comrade Chen A, and I don't know how to raise flowers, and it grows vigorously in the office, so it's better to let it stay." ”

Xia Xiang expressed his gratitude to Regan for actively cooperating with the work, and invited him to come to the municipal party committee often when he was free, Regan readily agreed, and also asked Xia Xiang to have time to be a guest at his home: "I heard that Mayor Xia is alone in Lang City and didn't bring his family over?" If you have time, come to the house to sit, my wife is still quite good at cooking, to ensure that you are satisfied. ”

It can be said that Xia Xiang and Regan's first meeting can even be described as a very happy conversation, but Xia Xiang understands that Reagan also has an unfathomable heart under the thick branches and boldness on the surface.

Of course, it is also understandable that people who have been mixed in the officialdom all their lives will not have a little thought? Just kidding, how can a person without a level be like a fish in water in officialdom, and besides, he was once listed as the number one character in the sky.

After finally being busy with the first wave of work, Xia Xiang finally had a little free time, so he thought about things while watering the flowers, oh, the begonias that Chen specially gave to Regan, it should be said that it is a testimony of the close relationship between the two, why didn't Reagan move away? Is there anything wrong with it? After watering the flowers, Xia Xiang sat on the chair, reached out to pour water to drink, and only after two sips of water did he realize that something was wrong, he had been in Lang City for a few days, and he also designated Li Caiyuan as his secretary, until today, Li Caiyuan didn't even show his face! It was a little too much, and Xia Xiang couldn't help but get angry.

Recently, I forgot about the secretary's affairs, and I did everything myself, no wonder I always felt that something was missing, I was too tired to do it, and I was really not used to it without a secretary.

He picked up the phone and called Chang Shuxin.

As a result, Chang Shuxin said that Li Caiyuan took sick leave and had not gone to work for three or four days.

Xia Xiang groaned slightly, didn't say anything, and hung up the phone.

Xia wants to be in charge of a mess of work, and there are a lot of things, so he really needs a helper.

The eight pillar industries of Lang City, leading industries such as large electronic information, exhibition and tourism, automobile and motorcycle parts industry, agricultural and livestock products and processing, wood processing and furniture manufacturing, printing and packaging, new building materials, real estate, etc., although he is not in charge of much, but also agricultural and livestock products and processing, wood processing and furniture manufacturing, is also in charge of the stall.

The economic structure of Lang City is quite balanced, and there are not too many unreasonable places.

Of course, it is also related to the slow economic development of Lang City and the small scale of the economy.

Both heavy industry and light industry are not very developed, Lang City was established late, the city is young, the burden of the industrial structure is light, and it is relatively easy to adjust.

Compared with other old industrial bases, the economic pressure is much less, and it can move forward lightly.

The layout of Langshi's economy has basically formed a pyramid-shaped modern industrial system with the two iconic industries of electronic information and leisure business as the "spire", advanced manufacturing, modern service industry and new agriculture as the "tower body", and traditional advantageous industries as the "tower base".

There is no shortage of talents anywhere, the economic structure of Lang City is reasonable and has a long-term vision, if it is from Ai Chengwen, Ai Chengwen is indeed not simple.

Xia Xiang is more clear that any local government has the idea of selling land to develop real estate in the era of rapidly rising high housing prices, because the rise in housing prices drives the growth of GDP is the most effective, the most direct, and the most worry-free, and you can enjoy the results without risk and effort, which is one of the main reasons why local governments condone high housing prices.

Lang City, sooner or later, will also be plagued by high housing prices.

Now the expansion of the capital and the soaring housing prices, has made many people in the capital set their sights on the house in Yan Province, as the closest to the capital of Lang City naturally bear the brunt, and as Lang City under the jurisdiction of the nearest to the capital Wutang City, is the first choice of Beijing people to buy houses outside the capital.

In later generations, the housing prices of Wutang City also once exploded to more than 10,000 yuan per square meter, and although Wutang City is adjacent to the capital, the income is much worse.

At this stage, the housing prices in Wutang City have been a grade higher than that of Lang City, and much higher than that of Yan City.

…… Xia Xiang sorted out his thoughts and sorted out the focus of the next step, and it was already dark.

He was about to get off work when someone knocked on the door, and Liu Yilin walked in with a light smile.

"Mayor Xia, where are you going to eat at night? It just so happens that I'm alone, so it's better to go eat something together, and have a companion. ”

Liu Yilin's family situation Xia Xiang knows a little bit about it, she is married, but her husband is not around, and she is far away in Qing City, Qi Province.

Liu Yilin didn't know whether she was in a hurry, or the office heating was overheating, her chest was undulating, her cheeks were ruddy, and the mature charm of a woman in her 30s was revealed.

Fortunately, Xia Xiang is not an ordinary man.

Xia Xiang politely declined Liu Yilin's kindness: "I made an appointment at night, I'm sorry Minister Liu, I'll invite you next time." ”

Liu Yilin obviously didn't expect Xia Xiang to refuse, so she lost her mind slightly, and then tried to calm down, nodded and smiled: "It's okay, since Mayor Xia still has something to do, I won't bother." ”

Xia wanted to send Liu Yilin to the door, but suddenly remembered something and asked, "Do you know where Li Caiyuan lives?" Xia Xiang really asked the right person, Liu Yilin, as the head of the organization, also checked Li Caiyuan's personal information and knew his home address during the last promotion turmoil.

…… Xia Xiang did not go directly to Li Caiyuan's house, but walked alone with unhurried steps, going to eat, planning to go again after the meal.

He didn't make an appointment, he just didn't want to eat with Liu Yilin, not because he was afraid of causing trouble, but because he deliberately distanced himself from her.

Liu Yilin was too thoughtful, and several times he deliberately tested him, or used his strength to provoke trouble, which made him unhappy.

At this stage, it is better to keep a certain distance.

And in fact, he is not familiar with the place in Langshi, and there is no one to date.

Of course, it is not that no one invited him to dinner, at least in the city government team, there are many people who are interested in getting closer to him, and within the scope of his work, there are also many enterprises and bosses who want to invite him to dinner, but he politely refuses.

He won't even go to Oh Chen's banquet, and he doesn't want to show up for the time being when other people invite him to dinner.

The situation in Lang City is too complicated, and it is indeed much more dangerous than he imagined, he has only been here, and he has not even figured out the positions of Ai Chengwen and Gu Xiangguo, as well as the intricate relationship between the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, so he will not take a rash step.

Xia Xiang came to a dumpling restaurant with a lot of characteristics, the name is Kaizhuo Dumplings, asked for half a catty, sat in a window position, and ate it with relish.

Halfway through the meal, the phone rang, and when he saw that it was Lian Ruohan calling, he smiled, and said after answering: "I was eating, you called, are you cooking, and suddenly remembered that I was alone, so you called to comfort me?" "Ah, you're so godly, you can guess it."

Lian Ruohan smiled happily, "Do you want me to go over and accompany you now?" It's an hour away. ”

Lian Ruohan's voice was tempting at night, especially when she deliberately spoke with a sharp voice, which reminded Xia Xiang of many drunken nights when she was with her.

"Don't, it's not safe to drive at night, besides, I've just settled down, I'll talk about it in two days."

Xia Xiang also wanted Lian Ruohan, but at the moment, there would be people secretly paying attention to his every move in Lang City, so he would keep a low profile for a while, "The situation in Lang City is very complicated, I am new to the city, it is better to be an honest person first." ”

"It's strange if you have to be honest, wherever you go, it's going to be a mess."

Lian Ruohan didn't care about Xia Xiang's situation, maybe in her eyes, there was no difficulty that Xia Xiang couldn't solve, "By the way, today Grandpa and Dad also mentioned your ......" "What are you talking about me?" Xia Xiang pretended to ask casually, in fact, he still listened carefully, now that Old Man Wu and Wu Caiyang mentioned him, it would not be a casual mention, it should be related to his coming to Lang City to take office.

"Grandpa said, your path is very dangerous."

Lian Ruohan's voice didn't fluctuate, obviously she didn't agree with Old Man Wu's words, "Dad said that the road is taken by himself, and it is dangerous, but it may not be without gain." ”

Wu Caiyang still has an adventurous personality in his bones, it seems that he came to Lang City, in Wu Caiyang's eyes, even if he is a chestnut in the fire, as long as he succeeds, no matter how dangerous it is, it is worth it.

But the question is, who are the chestnuts in the fire in Lang City? Xia Xiang has not fully figured out where the key thread in Lang City is until now, is it Oh Chen, is it Ai Chengwen, or Gu Xiangguo? Or neither?
