The secretary general of the provincial party committee of Yan Province said that it is not big or small, and it is not a particularly important position. But now it is different, now because of the proposal of the Dajing City Economic Park, the volume of Yan Province has risen sharply, and at the same time, there are many more people who are eyeing the vacancies in Yan Province than before. And in the eyes of the high-level, the status of Yan Province is also very different from before.

The situation is always changing, so those who know the times are Junjie. It's not that Old Man Wu and Wu Caiyang don't know current affairs, it's just that they haven't changed their mentality yet, and they haven't seen clearly that with the difference in the status of Yan Province, the weight of Yan Province has increased a lot in the eyes of the Wu family, and similarly, in the eyes of others, including the Qiu family and the Mei family, and even a few people at the top level, they have a different taste.

Let's just wait and see how the situation changes. Xia Xiang temporarily extinguished his thoughts, although he was a little tired from running around these days, his physical tiredness was nothing, and his heart was really tired. Dealing with different types of people one after another made him exhausted.

He retracted his thoughts, and his eyes fell on Lian Ruohan, only to find that she was more delicate than flowers, her jade face was lazy, her eyes were flowing, her style was exposed, her jade arms were exposed, the incense fan was oblique, and then she looked down along her collarbone, a piece was smooth, two fragrant mountains, Xia Xiang couldn't help but move, and then reached out to touch it, and there was no inch on her body, it turned out that she was already waiting for him to come. Xia Xiang unceremoniously turned over and got on the horse) hehe smiled = "Jasmine died one by one by one by one" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lian Ruohan eating and laughing: "Is it Hibiscus, okay?" You use it wrong twice, one one one r" "I like jasmine, I don't like beauty ■ Rong. "Xia Xiang now has Hibiscus fear boils, and when he mentions Hibiscus, the image of a woman covered in flesh and eyebrows flashes in his mind, and he pops up." Okay, okay, whatever you want, it doesn't matter what Hibiscus or Jasmine, as long as you work hard enough, you are a good man. Lian Ruohan hugged Xia Xiang with both hands, bit Xia Xiang's ear, and giggled.

A good woman knows the beauty of flirting, knows how to flirt just right, and compared with before, Lian Ruohan's boldness has an irresistible temptation, and she really became a mature woman.

Xia Xiang wanted to tease her a few more times, but she was teased by her, and she couldn't help but go straight to the point......

The next day, I finally slept peacefully, saying that it was an straw, but in fact, I got up at \{\} o'clock, because Xia wanted to be in a daze, and suddenly realized a serious problem, it was time to see Lao Gu.

Perhaps, it's time to see Gu Yu. Because of the delay and delay, I will never see Gu Yu again, and I really can't say it.

Gu Yu was also quite patient, so he didn't call to urge him, and he was probably angry. Xia Xiang had breakfast, and said to Lian Ruohan that he was going to meet his friends, so he drove out. When I got outside, I dialed Gu Yu's phone. "Where can I go to meet the ancient girl?

"You can't see you anywhere, I don't want to see you anymore." Gu Yu was really angry, "You have idleness, nosy every day, see this and see that, you are really a busy person today, grandpa is not busy with you." Lao Gu's voice sounded on the side: "Tell Xia Xiang to come to the house, he knows where it is......"

Xia Xiang had been there last time, so he naturally knew the place, so he said to Gu Yu: "I really have something to be busy, and I can't help myself, okay, I'll go over now, just to taste your craftsmanship progress." "Well, hurry up, Lu Tu will buy two bags of soy sauce by the way, and I will use them for cooking." Gu Yu lost his anger again and told Xia Xiang to do things.

Xia Xiangyuanyu, when did he become a soy sauce player? Playing soy sauce is not a good thing, and when soy sauce became popular in the future, it became synonymous with no one. No one in the officialdom wants to be the one who plays soy sauce.

When I arrived at the old house, the scenery was still the same, but because of the winter, it was decaying. Fortunately, there is holly that can keep its green color, and it can be regarded as a little bit of life.

Gu Yu was wearing tight jeans, rolled up his sleeves, bent over, and was cleaning up a tilapia in the courtyard. She was wearing an apron, with a small waist and a warped buttocks, round and straight, slippery and shiny, which made Xia Xiang, who had experienced the taste of it, feel stunned at first glance. Then he hurriedly retracted his thoughts and watched Gu Yu live.

Xia Xiang doesn't like to eat fish, if you have to eat two bites, eat a little tilapia, because tilapia has less meat and fresh meat.

Seeing that Xia wanted to come in, Gu Yu's little face was first red, and then cold: "Do you still know to come?" Don't take my words to heart at all, proving that you don't have me in your heart. ”

"Who said it didn't have you?" Xia Xiang smiled, stretched out his hand and put a bag in front of Gu Yu, "Oh, you said let me buy two bags of soy sauce, I bought you ten bags at once, how about it, you want a leaf, I'll give you a forest." "Oh, I only need two bags of fish for fish, and I don't usually cook, so I only do it when you come. You buy so much, how can you use it up? Gu Yu exclaimed in surprise. That's your problem, it's none of my business. Xia wanted to wave his hand and was about to enter the house, when he suddenly remembered something, turned back again, and asked in a low voice, "What is the matter with Lao Gu looking for me?" ”

"Grandpa won't let me tell you......" Gu Yu grinned, made a grimace again, looked around the room a few times, and found that Lao Gu didn't notice the movement outside, so he whispered again, "It seems that there is a problem with the secretary general of the provincial party committee, I listened to what he said when he inadvertently called, and I didn't pay attention...... Don't say I told you, or I want you to look good. ”

Xia Xiang smiled and waved his hand, turned around and entered the house, but he thought in his heart that the transfer of a deputy provincial cadre in Yan Province in the past was also involved

Too many people's eyes, now it's good, it's become a cloud in all directions, even Lao Gu is also on the heart, to the house, only to feel that the spring is full of joy, not only the room is warm like spring, the main thing is that Lao Gu is very leisurely sitting on the sofa, listening to the opera played in the old-fashioned record player, and humming non-stop with the beat.

Seeing Lao Gu's posture, Xia Xiang finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the atmosphere of today's conversation would be more relaxed and pleasant, and there would be no more coldness and indifference when he met Wu Caiyang.

To be honest, Xia Xiang has known Lao Gu for a while, but he still doesn't dare to say that he knows Lao Gu's character and personality very well. Lao Gu doesn't seem to have a temper, but he has been fighting all his life and can sit in a high position, and no one will believe it if he doesn't have a wrist. However, Lao Gu has always seemed to have no intentions for him, so he always can't help but speculate, is it really out of friendship that Lao Gu is close to him? Just for the number - to make him a friend who has forgotten his years?

If it's Gao Lao, it's easy to say, after all, Gao Lao is not a real officialdom, and he doesn't have any desire for power, at the same time, Gao Lao is also relatively loose, and people who are obsessed with design will naturally be much less anxious in other aspects, Xia Xiang thinks that he knows Gao Lao well, but he has always felt half familiar and half strange to Lao Gu.

As soon as he entered the door today, he saw Lao Gu's leisurely posture, especially, the way he hummed opera made him first startled, and then there was an inexplicable sense of strangeness.

Lao Gu Chongxia wanted to nod, motioned for Xia Xiang to sit casually, and then still sang opera with a beat. Xia Xiang didn't have much research on opera, but he could also hear Lao Gu singing "Shajiabang". It can't be said that the words are correct and round, but it can be regarded as having a board and an eye, and the singing skills are really good.

It is estimated that Gu Yu did not falsely pass on the holy decree, and it seems that Lao Gu did have something to find him. But Lao Gu is not in a hurry, is there nothing urgent? Xia Xiang sat on the side, not in a hurry, and quietly savored the subtleties in Peking Opera.

After singing for nearly ten minutes, Lao Gu stopped his voice and smiled: "Xiao Xia, this year, this year, you have a very lively time, aren't you?" ”

"Yes, it's not just lively, it's also disturbing." Since even Gu Yu said that Lao Gu was concerned about the selection of the secretary general of the provincial party committee, it means that his whereabouts Lao Gu must also know it, needless to say that he met with Qiu and Cheng, and the contact with Wu Caiyang and the unhappy parting, it is estimated that Lao Gu is also clear, and Xia Xiang will no longer hide anything, "It's not as good as your old man, free and easy, and you have the leisure to sing." ”

"Singing is singing, and idleness is idleness, but it's not the same thing." Lao Gu smiled, and pointed to the peanuts and melon seeds on the table with his hand, "Come, eat something casually, and this will be the New Year." When I was a child, I looked forward to the Chinese New Year, as soon as I had new clothes to wear, and there were delicious food during the New Year, at that time, even melon seeds and peanuts were rare......"

I don't know why, a good life started to sigh, maybe people are old, they like to remember the bittersweet and sweet: "Now it's different, there is no such state of mind, the New Year is not social, or visiting relatives and friends, there is nothing missing, but I always feel that something is missing." The taste of the New Year is light, and I feel that the New Year is no different from usual......"

Not to mention Lao Gu when he was a child, even Xia Xiang was looking forward to the New Year when he was a child. He lived in the countryside when he was a child, and his neighbor's family was a butcher who killed pigs as soon as the Chinese New Year. At that time, he liked to go to watch the pig killing with a group of children, because there were pigs' trotters to play with after killing the pigs.

It is to take off the black skin of a pig's trotters, fill it with a little lard, and then make a cotton rope, which can be used as a small oil lamp. At that time, a small lamp was a piece of warmth, and a few children with pig's trotter lamps in their hands laughed on the street until late at night, which was the most touching scene in the countryside during the New Year.

When I grew up, there were street lights in the village, and the Chinese New Year became a place to eat, drink and have fun. Later, life became a little richer, and the Chinese New Year became gambling. In addition to eating and drinking, people rarely talk about homely things, and when they speak, they compare, earn, and eat and wear. Or just sit in front of the TV and spend time.

Lao Gu's emotion triggered Xia Xiang's emotion, and he shook his head and smiled: "The human touch is light, and the New Year's flavor is light." In the past, the Chinese New Year was a happy gathering with a full house of friends, but now the New Year is about eating, drinking, and having fun, and socializing. The taste of the year has not changed, what has changed is the hearts of the people. ”

Lao Gu slapped his thigh with a "thick" voice: "Well said!" It's rare that you have such insight at a young age, and when I was so young as you, I was hot-headed every day, and where would I have any profound thoughts. Xiao Xia, you are really not simple. ”

"Where, don't praise me, I just felt it for a while, and it was a lot shallow compared to the eventful years of your old life." Xia Xiang couldn't avoid a few words of modesty, and he could also see that Lao Gu was really praising him, although he was a human being in two lives, he was actually not as good as Lao Gu's turbulent life experience, "Call me today, what do you command?" Xia Xiang cut to the chase.

"There's one thing, you have to help me get an idea." Lao Gu stretched out his hand and took out a piece of material and handed it to Xia Xiang, "Hang Chengyuan is the director of the Ministry of Finance, he has the qualifications and ability, and someone entrusted me with the relationship and wanted him to serve as the secretary general of the provincial party committee in Yan Province." ”

Xia Xiang's heart tightened, it was really unfortunate that Gu Yu was hit, Lao Gu actually started the idea of the secretary general of the provincial party committee, and asked him for advice, and he had already thrown the olive branch to the Qiu family, although he tried to persuade the Mei family, but he also offended the Wu family, and now it is good, with Lao Gu's sideways hand, the situation is really getting more and more complicated. Xia Xiang took the information, but only glanced at it a few times, but didn't look at it carefully, because he knew that since someone had found Lao Gu, and Lao Gu had mentioned it to him in person, it could be seen that this person's face was not small, and Lao Gu was not easy to refute. Since this is the case, there will be no problem with Hang Chengyuan's qualifications, it will be the same whether he looks at it or not. Lao Gu asked him to take ideas, and he really didn't have any good ideas to take.

Xia Xiang glanced at Lao Gu, and saw that Lao Gu's face was calm, his eyes were firm, and he also had an expression of ambition, so he couldn't help but shake his head secretly. He didn't know how amazing Lao Gu's true strength was, "But he also knows that Lao Gu will not make a move easily, if he really makes up his mind to make a move, the Qiu family will face the opposition of the Wu family and the competition of Lao Gu, I am afraid that he will lose Mai Cheng." This year, it's been really ups and downs.

Xia Xiang put the information back on the table, thought about it for a while, and still told the truth: "The Qiu family has begun to work on the issue of the selection of the secretary general of the provincial party committee.

Lao Gu nodded: "I know."

"The Mei family will also help the Qiu family.

"I know that too."

"Secretary-General Qian met with Minister Qiu yesterday, and we should have had a good conversation.

"I know it all." Lao Gu's expression was as unmoved as a mountain, without a trace of a smile, "I just asked if you support Hang Chengyuan." ”

"Whether I support it or not, it doesn't seem to matter......" Xia Xiang smiled.

"It's not important to be important, it's your attitude." The expression on Lao Gu's face was unprecedentedly solemn, "I just want you to give me a clear answer." ”

"What is Hang Chengyuan's background?" Xia Xiang was very curious why Lao Gu supported Hang Chengyuan, just now he simply scanned Hang Chengyuan's resume, and didn't find too many highlights and intriguing places, could it be that he was an ordinary grassroots official?

really let Xia Xiang guess correctly, Lao Gu answered Xia Xiang's question: "There is no background, no background, no background, just an ordinary person with no roots and no bottom, and he climbed to the position of director step by step." He has a good relationship with one of my old comrades-in-arms, and the old comrades-in-arms said that Hang Chengyuan is an upright person with good comprehensive ability, and is suitable for balancing the situation in Yan Province......"

There are no highlights in the previous words, and the last sentence makes Xia Xiang's eyes light up, and the situation in Yan Province is balanced one by one, this sentence is not something that ordinary people can say, and it cannot be a person from the military. People in the military do not pay much attention to the local situation, and even if they care about the local political situation, no matter how high the position of a soldier is, he will not interfere in the local situation. I'm afraid that the old comrades-in-arms mentioned by Lao Gu are not comrades-in-arms in the real sense.

"Hang Chengyuan's qualifications are a bit insufficient, and it is very difficult for him to leapfrog from the main hall to the Standing Committee and the Secretary-General in one step." Xia Xiang hesitated for a moment, and then said his opinion, "The reason why I support the Qiu family in arranging people to Yan Province and not support the Mei family and the Wu family is also out of the consideration of balancing the situation. The old man made a stern face: "So, you don't support Hang Chengyuan?" ”

Xia Xiang said honestly: "I have already made my attitude clear to the Qiu family, and I have done a lot of work, so it is impossible to go back on my word." Besides, it doesn't matter if I support it or not, it's already a game between the upper echelons. ”

Xia wanted to tell the truth, but Lao Gu didn't appreciate it: "What I want is just an attitude from you, not the final result." So, you're still firmly on the family line? ”

Family route? Xia Xiang had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly realized something, and then thought of the rootless candidate proposed by Lao Gu, even he felt that the possibility of passing was extremely small, not like a real nominated candidate, but like a deliberate temptation towards him, and then from Lao Gu's personality and his purpose of approaching himself, he finally understood something, and smiled knowingly.

"What did Gu Yu do today?" Xia Xiang suddenly diverted the topic and asked. "The Tao is different, and I didn't cook your meal today." Lao Gu got angry, stood up, and shook his hand, "I'll go to the yard for a walk, are you staying, please." Lao Gu said that he would go, leave Xia Xiang behind, and walk away.

Xia Xiang shook his head helplessly, this year he had a bad year, first he was snubbed by Old Man Mei for a long time, and then reprimanded by Wu Caiyang, now it's okay, and he was hung up by Lao Gu again, yes, in front of interests, everyone showed their true side.

However, for Lao Gu's temper of turning his face like a child, Xia Xiang only felt funny, and he was not angry at all, so he paced in the living room with ■ on his back.

After walking a few steps, he found that the carving of the praying mantis cicada that Lao Gu gave him last time was placed in a corner of the living room.

Xia Xiang smiled dumbly, the so-called national treasure, when he wants to make trouble with it, he will make a fuss about the tiger skin, it is a national treasure. If it's useless for the time being, it will be put aside, and it will be ordinary jade. It can be seen that right and wrong are all in the hearts of the people, and sometimes, out of political needs, reversing black and white is also an indispensable means. Just like Lao Gu's temptation of him just now, it is also a kind of means.

Xia Xiang basically mastered Lao Gu's position, and Lao Gu was one of the opponents of the family forces. Therefore, he was very dissatisfied with his efforts to help the Qiu family run the election of the secretary general of the provincial party committee, and because he helped the Qiu family unite the Mei family, Lao Gu finally decided that he was the family power line after judging from his acquaintance.

Even if he is like a torch like an old man, he can't see his true intentions, Xia Xiang doesn't know whether to congratulate himself on his lofty intentions, or to feel that he is not understood by the world.

Fortunately, after he took a few turns, he had already figured out what to do.
