Chapter 902 Heart-to-heart, negotiation

Xia Xiang was very unhappy.

Basically, if the case has not been reported to the provincial party committee at the preliminary trial stage, within the authority of the municipal discipline inspection commission, many intercessors will come forward and want to turn a big matter into a small one. But once they rise to the level of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, the provincial and ministerial-level cadres cherish their feathers and will easily stop pleading for mercy.

What's more, now that Gu Xiangguo's case has directly entered the judicial stage, there are still people who come forward to intercede, or even exert pressure, and want to protect Gu Xiangguo's reputation, and the unreasonable request is that Gu Xiangguo's judgment should not exceed ten years

No matter who exerts pressure, it makes Xia Xiang helpless and angry, with Gu Xiangguo's guilt, a death sentence is more than enough, not more than ten years, the implication is to be imprisoned for one year, and then strive to reduce the sentence for three years, and then find a reason to be unwell, at most two years, and the medical parole will come out.

It's a child's play.

But Xia Xiang has to admit that sometimes the situation in China is really greater than the law, and the law is fragile and vulnerable in the face of power. Not to mention the high-level speech, it is a sentence from Fan Ruiheng, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, and the president of the Provincial High Court has to be cautious. Even Song Chaodu's words, he must listen.

After Xia Xiang returned to Yan City, he wanted to rest for half a day, but after hearing the news, he immediately met with Song Chaodu.

Song Chaodu's home was full of friends, Xia Xiang, Li Dingshan and Gao Hai, and several people gathered together rarely, sitting on a slightly narrow balcony, blowing the cool autumn breeze, drinking tea and enjoying flowers.

On the balcony of Song Chaodu, a few pots of chrysanthemums were raised, the golden chrysanthemums were in full bloom, and the spikes were fragrant, Song Chaodu said with a smile while watering the chrysanthemums: "The flowers are raised by Xiaofan, and I have given me a task, watering for three minutes every day, and watching for half an hour, if you can't meet her requirements, you can't do it." You say that I am a dignified governor, and now I am being instructed by my own daughter to turn around, what kind of system has I become? ”

"Dad, if you speak ill of me behind my back, from tomorrow onwards, you will be punished for watering for five minutes a day and watching for an hour." Song Yifan sneaked out and arrested Song Chaodu.

Song Chaodu's hand shook, and the flower pot almost fell to the ground: "Stop, stop, there are outsiders here, save some face for Dad, or Dad will marry you off as soon as you graduate, don't want you to stay at home and be annoying." ”

"Hmph, if I don't get married, I'll annoy you at home every day, annoy you to death." Song Yifan pouted and retorted angrily, she wore a floral casual dress and a ponytail, young and energetic, and she was the same as Cao Shumu back then.

The weather in late autumn is slightly cool, Song Yifan's clothes are a little thin, but her youthful vitality makes her like a golden chrysanthemum jumping in the sun in autumn, graceful and graceful, soft and colorful, the girl's youthful breath is not reduced, but more full of charm.

It's like an apple that is about to be red, full and gratifying, but it is unbearable to pick.

Unlike Cao Shumu back then, Song Yifan is slightly taller than her, with a thinner waist, longer legs, and more toned, without a trace of fat on her body, and her exposed arms and calves are extraordinarily well-proportioned and charming.

Song Yifan stepped forward and grabbed Xia Xiang: "Brother Xia, go out for a run with me, don't talk boring things to their old people." ”

"Haha......" Li Dingshan and Gao Hai both smiled kindly, seeing what Xia wanted to do.

Xia Xiang also smiled: "Xiaofan, when I came, I found that there was a new cold drink shop opened in the street, it is said that it sells Häagen-Dazs, which is very authentic, how about you help me buy one?" ”

"Isn't it? You're a big man, why do you love to eat Häagen-Dazs? Song Yifan said exaggeratedly, "It's so expensive, I don't have that much money." ”

Xia Xiang rummaged through his pockets and found five hundred yuan: "Give you money." One for each of you. ”

"They eat too?" Song Yifan didn't believe it even more, "Cut, they won't eat, they're all old people, so they won't eat trendy things." ”

"Who said that? How do you know if you haven't tried? If you don't buy it, how will we have the opportunity to taste it? Xia Xiang continued to tease Song Yifan.

Song Yifan was fooled, took the money, and walked away in a hurry, with a happy expression on his face, as if he could tease several provincial and department-level high-ranking officials for a while.

As soon as Song Yifan left, even Song Chaodu said with emotion: "Coaxing the little girl, Xia Xiang is still the best, fortunately, his character is still trustworthy, otherwise I can't let Xiaofan associate with him if I say anything." ”

Xia wanted to sweat profusely, and as soon as the governor's joke began, he almost sweated. Fortunately, he and Song Chaodu have known each other for many years, and their relationship is extraordinary, otherwise they would really have to figure out what the words of the leader for a long time meant.

Li Dingshan also smiled: "Xiaofan is good for following Xia Xiang, she didn't fall in love, she didn't delay her studies, because she has a high vision, and ordinary peers really can't get into her eyes." ”

"Yes, yes, Governor Song must be this plan." Gao Hai also echoed.

Li Dingshan is now the mayor of Shuiheng, and his work in Shuiheng is stable, without merit or fault, and it is relatively dull, and the economy of Shuiheng City is not high or low in Yan Province, so he also has the idea of keeping the success and staying up for a few years.

Gao Hai is different, he is the executive deputy mayor of Yan City, although he is also the main hall, but after all, he is not a regular position. Although Yu Fanran took over as mayor, he had a good relationship with him and recognized his work, but Gao Hai has been in Yan City for many years and has long wanted to go out to take charge of a city, but unfortunately, he has never had the opportunity.

Whether it is Li Dingshan or Gao Hai, looking at Xia Xiang now, the eager look in his eyes can't be hidden.

Thinking back then, when Li Dingshan and Gao Hai were both in the right place, Xia Xiang was not even at the department level. Later, Li Dingshan was exceptionally promoted from the main hall to the main hall, Xia Xiang was the deputy department at that time, but now, Li Dingshan has not moved in the position of the main hall for several years, standing still, although Gao Hai has taken one step at a time, he has finally entered the main hall from the deputy hall, but compared with Xia Xiang's promotion speed, it is too much worse.

However, whether it is Li Dingshan or Gao Hai, they don't have a trace of jealousy for Xia Xiang, they are all happy for Xia Xiang, and they are all happy for Xia Xiang. Xia Xiang is also in the main hall now, and he is more than ten years behind them, but he is already on an equal footing, and his future is limitless.

It is no exaggeration to say that Xia Xiang will go to a provincial and ministerial level or higher position in the future, and as Xia Xiang's leader, they will always occupy a place in Xia Xiang's heart. It is always better for oneself to go up than for others, and Li Dingshan and Gao Hai, who have been in the officialdom for more than ten years, can also distinguish between distant relatives and interests.

Today's gathering was originally a rare and relaxed meeting, but because of Gu Xiangguo's problem, the topic still added a little heaviness.

"There is a lot of pressure on the provincial party committee." Song Chaodu finished watering the flowers, wiped his hands, and sat on the chair again, "Originally, I shouldn't have asked about the progress of the case, but several members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee have received hints from the Beijing and are ready to jointly put pressure on the Provincial Procuratorate and the Provincial High Court, and the situation is not very optimistic." ”

"What is Secretary Fan's attitude?" Xia Xiang is most concerned about Fan Ruiheng's position, after all, he is the leader of the provincial party committee, if he pats the table and says that he is not allowed to handle the favor case, I believe that some standing committee members will definitely be discouraged.

"I didn't say anything." Song Chaodu smiled implicitly, "If you don't express your position, it is a tacit acquiescence, Secretary Fan is very low-key and pragmatic now." ”

In Yan Province, another meaning of low-key pragmatism is to keep up with the footsteps of the central government, in fact, no province in the country is the same as Yan Province, to every policy of the central government is obedient to the plan, never bargaining.

Many people at the top level of the central government like Yan Province, but they like it, and they use Yan Province as a positive teaching material to criticize some disobedient provinces. Therefore, in the eyes of many provinces, Yan Province is the mouthpiece of the central government, and of course there will be more ugly words in private.

Xia Xiang asked again: "Can Secretary Li withstand the pressure?" "In fact, now that the case has entered the judicial process, Li Yanhong, as the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, his influence has been minimized, and of course, there is another point, if the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection has new evidence, it can increase the weight again.

"I don't have much communication with Secretary Li, and I don't know much about his thoughts." Song Chaodu leaned on the rattan chair and looked at Xia Xiang with a meaningful smile.

Xia thought about something, and smiled: "I have indeed gotten closer to the Wu family recently, but the relationship with Secretary Li is still not far from the same as before." Song Chaodu also intends to woo Li Yanhong, but he is really helpless now, Li Yanhong is very independent and has a personality, and he and Li Yanhong do not seem to have established a good personal relationship.

The relationship with Gao Jinzhou and Yu Fanran is okay.

People also pay attention to whether they are eye-to-eye, even if he is valued by the Wu family, Li Yanhong is not very interested in him, and he has no choice. Besides, he doesn't think he has a very good temper with Li Yanhong.

Another thing Xia Xiang also knows is that Song Chaodu took the opportunity to mention Li Yanhong to go deep into the topic and have other ideas.

Song Chaodu's political stance is more inclined to the civilian line, he is in the background of the capital, and he is also one of the representatives of the civilian family, and has a good relationship with the prime minister, at least in public, the political positions of the two are similar.

Therefore, Song Chaodu had frequent contact with him and the four major families in the capital, saying that his prejudices must be serious, and it must be normal to say that he has ideas.

Li Dingshan's level has not reached the level of the Song Dynasty, so he doesn't have so many scruples when he speaks, so he asked Xia Xiang directly: "Originally, the prime minister instructed you to promote you to Lang City, and now it is the Wu family who transferred you to Tianze City, Xiao Xia, you are also from the grassroots, why is your political position consistent with your family forces?" ”

Xia Xiang is not easy to explain anything, sometimes the more silent some things are, the better, the clearer the explanation, others may not believe it, he also believes that with the political wisdom and understanding of Song Dynasty, he will not suspect that he is moving closer to the family power for opportunism and wants to climb the tree.

"There are some objective reasons for this, as well as my subjective factors, and when I get close to a few companies, there must be considerations in terms of political positions, but not entirely because of political factors, there are other reasons." Xia Xiang explained a few words vaguely, "Let's put aside my political position, the purpose of my politics is to serve the country and the people, that is, to do practical things and do good things, and do my best to prevent people from doing bad things." In fact, my position is not biased towards anyone, and I have always adhered to my own principles. If I am in the same dust as the light or even in the same stream, it is better to be more comfortable as a businessman. ”

If someone else said such a thing, Song Chaodu would treat him as a lie, and Li Dingshan and Gao Hai would say big things and brag when he said it, but from Xia Xiang's mouth, whether it was Song Chaodu as the governor, Li Dingshan as the mayor, and Gao Hai as the executive vice mayor, they were all convinced, and then carefully thought about Xia Xiang's current net worth and what he did in each term, and even had a solemn thought.

Xia Xiang's Jiangshan real estate makes hundreds of millions of dollars a year, and Lian Ruohan behind him has tens of billions of dollars, if he doesn't enter politics, and then with his business acumen, it is not a problem to build a huge business empire, which is definitely more successful than the current Cheng Dacai.

Cheng Dacai is much more comfortable than Xia Xiang, he has a huge amount of money, he is the God of Wealth wherever he goes, he is warmly welcomed by the local government, and he is all smiling and hoping to get his investment. But Xia Xiang is above the officialdom, not only has to bend his will, but also faces the pouring of many political opponents, needless to say his previous experience, Lang City alone, has faced several life and death tests, why did he bother?

He is not greedy or greedy, he does not seek wealth when he is an official, he does not take the opportunity to ask for benefits when he fights with political opponents, and he does not take credit after defeating political opponents.

People have a motive and a heart to do everything, Xia Xiang has overturned a lot of people along the way, maybe in the eyes of some people he is a thorn, but if there is no thorn like Xia Xiang, can the Xia Ma District have today's prosperity? Can Lang City have the current good weather? Gu Xiangguo will not fall, oh Chen will not fall, there will be a stable and united political situation in Lang City?

It's all the work of Xia Xiang

Of course, Xia Xiang is not a saint, he can't have no political appeals, he is in politics, for the country and the people is on the one hand, on the other hand, he will also use the power in his hands to make his relatives live better, so that friends can develop and grow, but from a high level of looking at the problem, the growth of Jiangshan real estate, the root of Envision Group in Yan City, are in line with the growth and development of the premise of the law of the market, to promote a good market order, played an exemplary role.

Song Chaodu, Li Dingshan and Gao Hai figured out many questions at the same time, they have known Xia Xiang for a few years, and they have seen Xia Xiang grow up step by step, but until today, when they know what Xia Xiang really thinks, the eyes of the three of them are full of admiration.

Because they all understand one thing, they use the power in their hands to seek more benefits for themselves than Xia Xiang, and Xia Xiang dare not say that he is 100% selfless, at least his hands and feet are clean, and he is the only one among the high-ranking officials they have ever seen.

It is true that it is also related to Xia Xiang's huge wealth, but it is also inseparable from his personal qualities, Song Chaodu stood up and raised the teacup: "Come, replace wine with tea, and toast Xia Xiang with a cup"

Li Dingshan and Gao Hai also stood up and raised their teacups as well.

Xia Xiang was a little excited and flattered, not to mention the level of the three, they were all his elders in terms of personal feelings, he couldn't afford it, so he hurriedly and solemnly replied to the three: "Uncle Song, Uncle Li, Uncle Gao, you respect me to kill me, you just don't want to pull me to help me in the future......"

As soon as Xia wanted to play tricks, the three of them laughed.

Song Chaodu was the first to say: "Okay, okay, we respect you as a person, not your age and position, come, drink this cup of tea, and we will always be friends."

Li Dingshan has nothing, there is already a good friendship between him and Song Chaodu, but Gao Hai was inexplicably excited when he heard it, which means that Song Chaodu completely accepted him, he has been trying hard to really integrate into Song Chaodu's inner circle, and now he finally got his wish, of course he was very happy.

The four of them had a cup of tea together. This heart-to-heart conversation had a far-reaching impact, not only making Song Chaodu rank Xia Xiang first in his heart, but also having a decisive impact on Gao Hai's future fate, and it is no exaggeration to say that it has had a permanent impact on the future future of the four people.

Later, he talked about how to deal with the pressure from the top.

Several people expressed their opinions, and finally came to the conclusion that Song Chaodu came forward to persuade Fan Ruiheng and let Fan Ruiheng speak, as long as Fan Ruiheng spoke, the Provincial High Court would definitely be able to withstand the pressure and enforce the law impartially.

Xia Xiang asked An Xingyi again.

"I have this idea, Ma Xiao hasn't spit out yet, Mei Shengping can't say it, the difficulty is there, but it's not without a chance." Song Chaodu said truthfully, "Secretary Fan is okay to say, and the nomination of the Organization Department is not a big problem, the difficulty is whether Mei Shengping nods." ”

Li Dingshan and Gao Hai both looked at Xia Xiang.

Xia Xiang had no choice but to wave his hand: "I'll try, I'll try, Secretary Mei is not as good as before, he used to be able to do whatever he wanted, but now he has more problems to consider, and it is not as good as before." ”

Li Dingshan and Gao Hai just laughed and didn't speak, even Song Chaodu looked at him with a smile on his face, Xia Xiang knew that he couldn't pass today's level, so he took out his mobile phone: "I'll ask, I'll ask." ”

The phone was answered as soon as it was called, Xia Xiang first said hello, and then said what he meant.

Mei Shengping snorted: "I have also thought about this matter, for the sake of you visiting Xiaolin and Mei Ting, I will give you a thorough ......"

Xia wanted to sweat greatly, Mei Shengping's words spread outside, and others would say that he didn't have the art of speaking as a provincial high-ranking official, how could private affairs and official affairs be mixed? Even if it's mixed, it can't be said on the surface.

In the few days in the capital, he took time to accompany Mei Xiaolin and Mei Ting for a long time, and when he saw that Mei Ting was getting more and more cute and beautiful, and he called his father very kindly, he didn't feel good in his heart......

"I have no objection to An Xingyi going to Lang City, after he leaves, I think it is more appropriate for Comrade Yang Jian to take over the position of executive vice mayor of Tianze."

There is a premise that Mei Shengping does not object, that is, Song Chaodu wants to support Yang Jian to take over the post of executive vice mayor of Tianze City.

"Yang Jian?" Song Chaodu frowned slightly, and there was a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes, "Mei Shengping's wishful thinking is too shrewd. ”

Why, Xia Xiang was stunned for a moment, didn't Yang Jian like Song Chaodu?

PS: It's the last two days of the double monthly pass, and I am in a hurry to ask for a monthly pass
