Shi Lao said unhappily: "Xiao Xia, young man, you must be energetic, just say what you should say, don't stumble." Shi Jie is my daughter, I know what kind of temper she is, I was busy with work back then, and I neglected to discipline her, so that when she grew up, she never knew how to respect others, so that she ended up today...... Don't talk about her, talk about what you think. ”

At this point, Xia Xiang also knew that Shi Lao really wanted to hear his true thoughts, so he told the truth: "I think any man, including Secretary Li, can't tolerate his wife putting on a high-minded posture every day. A person who is truly noble, even if he stands at the top of the world, looks down on others rather than despises. Looking down is the moonlight, no matter whether the moonlight is sprinkled in the splendid palace or in the stinky ditch, the moonlight is still moonlight, and it will not be noble or dirty. Contempt is snowflakes that fall on top of gold and are dyed golden. If you fall in the dirty mud, you will be turned into dirty water. ”

Xia Xiang regretted it after finishing speaking, he knew that his words were a bit heavy, and he didn't know why he, who had always been calm, suddenly felt so much emotion because of Shi Jie's contempt? In fact, with his tolerance, Shi Jie is just the child of an over-the-top official, and he can't care about her like her. Maybe he was fighting for Li Dingshan, or maybe it was because the anger he received in Lian Ruohan's body had nowhere to go, and he happened to meet Shi Jie, so he inevitably had a seizure?

Shi Lao's face changed, a trace of anger faintly flashed in his eyes, and he stared at Xia Xiang for a long time. After all, he used to be a feudal official, once his official authority attacked, it was also imposing, Xia Xiang was the first time in his life to talk face-to-face with a provincial and ministerial-level senior official, although Shi Lao has been idle at home for several years, but he has been an official all his life, has been above the officialdom for a long time, and is in a high position, and over time he has developed an oppressive momentum that makes him quite uncomfortable.

Xia Xiang didn't speak, his eyes were as clear as water, he forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart, tried to keep a calm face and looked at Shi Lao, and warned himself in his heart that if Shi Lao was the same as Shi Jie, conceited and arrogant, he would truthfully tell Li Dingshan after he went back, as for Li Dingshan's choice, he didn't even have to guess to know the result.

I don't know how long it took, the fitness ball in Shi Lao's hand made a grinding sound because of the rotation, and his momentum disappeared, and then he laughed: "The way of being an official is not to be cautious everywhere, and sometimes you have to dare to tell the truth, dare to contradict, and dare to express different opinions to leaders." At the county level, if you want to be promoted to the city level, in addition to having political achievements, you must also work hard. Once most officials are promoted to the city level, they will have the consciousness of serving as an official for the benefit of one party, because from the city level to the province and city, 80 percent of the officials will not be able to pass this hurdle, and since they cannot get through, they will have to leave a reputation. And once promoted to the provincial level, he has the ambition to look at the world, at this time, he will hope that his subordinates are not all sloppy people, he needs to have a group of doers, innovative spirit and pragmatic ability...... Xiao Xia, the road depends on yourself, but the status is different, the vision is different, and the mentality of each level of leadership is different, do you still think that I am an old man? ”

Decades of political experience, from the grassroots level step by step to the secretary of the provincial party committee, Shi Lao's experience is a huge wealth, he appeared in his personal experience, although he did not say deeply, but just a few words also benefited Xia Xiang a lot, so that he knows a lot of how to get along with the third-level leaders, so that his eyes shine, there is a feeling of seeing the clouds!

Shi Lao told him frankly, it was an affirmation of him, but also an encouragement, he was ecstatic, suddenly stood up, and bowed to Shi Laoshen: "Thank you Shi Lao for your teachings, I will keep it in my heart." ”

Shi Lao's face was full of spring breeze: "I was just talking to myself just now, what did I say?" When people are old, they tend to be forgetful......"

Xia wanted to laugh and say nothing, Shi Lao said this, in fact, he was still a little angry with him, and his words just now were a bit excessive, but he did have good intentions, if he wanted to remarry Li Dingshan, Shi Jie must restrain his temper, otherwise with his understanding of Li Dingshan, even if the two barely get back together, it will inevitably end in failure.

Xia Xiang also knew that Shi Lao valued him, and it was also because he was now Li Dingshan's most trusted person, so he hesitated, but still said: "Shi Lao, just like what you taught just now, I will say one more sentence, if it is not pleasant, you should not have heard it, but I still have to say it, because Secretary Li has been very tired and hard to live alone all these years." He is very strong, he doesn't want to be swayed, and he also has the common psychology of most men, hoping to have a virtuous helper......"

Xia wanted to point to the point, he knew that Shi Lao must know his own daughter's surname.

Shi Lao nodded slowly: "You tell Ding Shan that I treat him like my own son and treat him and Shi Jie equally." Also, when the time is not right, I will not let Shi Jie annoy him anymore, let him work with peace of mind, and seek some benefits for the local people within the scope of his ability...... Let him not be afraid of Shen Fuming, if Shen Fuming is not too excessive, everything is easy to say, if he has Gao Chengsong's support, if he has to fight, let him come......"

Seeing that Shi Lao narrowed his eyes, it seemed that he was sleepy while talking. When people are old, they feel a lot and are easy to get sleepy, Xia Xiang treated him as an ordinary old man, bowed to him, and quietly pushed the door out. As soon as he went out, Shi Lao opened his eyes again and smiled proudly, like a child who had deceived others.

A little old child, when he is old, may become the same as a child, and his surname is changeable.

Not long after Xia Xiang left, Shi Jie came back from outside, and complained as soon as she entered the door: "Dad, why do you have to talk so much to a little follower, just let him pass the word, what is there to talk to him?" ”

Shi Lao's face was cold: "Shut up!" After so many years, you don't know how to restrain your temper, do you know that your divorce from Ding Shan is all because of your self-righteous surname. Xia Xiang is now Ding Shan's secretary, but you don't see how much Ding Shan values him and trusts him? Don't talk about you now, I'm afraid my words are not as good as his words, and they will work in front of Ding Shan! ”

"How so? Dad, you're too uplifting to think about Xia, right? ”

"If you had vision and sensibility, you wouldn't have divorced Ding Shan, and you wouldn't be at the level of a department today! I'll just say one thing, when do you feel that you are not the daughter of the secretary of the provincial party committee, and you no longer ask everyone to greet you with a smile, and you can calmly accept the fact that you are just an ordinary person, you look for me again, and we will mention the matter of reuniting with Ding Shan! Shi Lao waved his hand to prevent Shi Jie from arguing again, "I'll go to the yard to plant flowers ......"

Out of the No. 1 Courtyard of the Provincial Party Committee, Xia Xiang was in a much more comfortable mood, feeling that although the No. 1 Courtyard was pleasant, it always gave people a depressing and gloomy feeling, perhaps because the people inside had been immersed in the power circle for too long, and they couldn't let go of their surnames, plus the people inside were either family members or retired high-ranking officials, and it was difficult to let go of the past scenery, and the more nostalgic the more dull they became.

Xia Xiang smiled, leaving the No. 1 Courtyard of the Provincial Party Committee behind, and seeing that it was still early, he hesitated whether to meet Xiao Jia. He first made a phone call to Li Dingshan and told him about meeting Shi Jie and Shi Lao, and Li Dingshan just said lightly: "I know." He didn't say a word more about this matter, just told him to walk around more in Yan City, and he could go back to his hometown when he had time, and now that everything is calm in Ba County, he doesn't have to rush back.

Li Dingshan's words reminded Xia Xiang that Yan City is not far from his hometown of Shancheng, a distance of more than 200 kilometers, if there is a car, it would be good, and the whole high-speed is about two hours.

As soon as Xiao Jia's phone was connected, Xia Xiang was about to ask her if she missed him, but Xiao Jia exclaimed: "Xia Xiang, I was about to call you to report the good news, my Xiao Xia Vegetable Wholesale Company was officially established with a registered capital of 1 million, and it became a business just after its establishment, guess how much you earned?" ”

Xiao Jia's voice was a little distorted with excitement, and Xia Xiang couldn't bear to hit her positive surname, so she had to follow her words and say, "Thirty thousand or fifty thousand?" The profit of vegetable wholesale is not high, and it mainly depends on the volume. ”

"One hundred thousand!" Xiao Jia's voice raised an octave, which shook his ears and buzzed, "It took me a lot of effort to talk about it, and I didn't expect to make 100,000 yuan in the first business, which is great, I will open the market in the future, and I won't worry about underdevelopment." It's a pity you're not with me, or we can celebrate. ”

"Who says I'm not with you?" Xia Xiang felt that Xiao Jia must be enthusiastic now, he was a normal man, and for the only woman who had a relationship at the moment, it was definitely a lie to say that he didn't want to, "I'm in Yan City, where are you, I'll go find you!" ”

"Yike......... Don't lie, are you really in Yan City? Xiao Jia's voice had a faint hint of surprise and expectation, making Xia Xiang find a little more balance, he even felt that Xiao Jia didn't care about him just now, although she gave him the first time, she didn't seem to treat him as her man, whether it was a meeting or a phone call with him, it was always her business, but the next sentence made Xia Xiang cry and laugh, "I'm on a business trip in Lu City, Qi Province, and I won't be able to go back for a while, what should I do?" ”

Lu City, Qi Province is a famous vegetable wholesale base.

Xia Xiang was unhappy: "Xiao Jia, can you talk to me about something else, as if I am just your business partner, do you only regard me as your staff and backstage?" ”

Xiao Jia was stunned for a moment, and suddenly her voice became soft, like a layer of ripples rippling in Xia Xiang's heart: "No, I know your thoughts, in fact, I miss you too, that is, that is, I don't dare to say to you, I'm afraid that you will have other bad thoughts and think of other bad things......"

Xiao Jia talks about business with the taste of a strong woman, once she is gentle, she is also tender like water, and her voice seems to melt people, Xia Xiang is a little dry: "I think something bad is wrong to me?" Besides, that's not a bad thing, do you regret what happened last time? ”

"I just regret it, what's wrong?" Xiao Jia said angrily, "I thought it was so good, but I didn't expect it to hurt so much that I couldn't walk normally for several days." When I think of you so bad, I don't want to be with you, stay away from you, save me and want to hurt me. ”
