Answered the call! "Hey. Sister Lian. Why haven't you been unconscious for a long time?"

"I've been really busy lately, I can't leave, I'll come to you in a few days, okay? I miss you so much, Lady Hui. How are you? Cao Shuhui turned on the hands-free, and Xia Xiang could hear it clearly on the side, but he didn't dare to speak.

"I'm fine. But Xia Xiang is a little bad. ”

"What's wrong with him? Isn't his county magistrate a good one? I heard that there is also a beautiful female secretary in Anxian County, he probably can't miss it, right? ”

Xia Xiang glared angrily, but Cao Shuhui couldn't help but smile: "Really? Why haven't I heard him say that? Did he deliberately not say it, hiding the words and not proving that there was a ghost in his heart? ”

"I guess he won't like the female secretary either, because the slave is three years older than him. According to my observations of him, he has always preferred girls younger than him, such as Hui Yatou and Wei Xin

Xia Xiangyou rushed over to turn off the phone

"Who is Wei Xin?" Cao Shuliang looked curious, she was saying something on her mobile phone, but her eyes looked straight at Xia Xiang.

Xia wanted to force her composure, but in her heart, she had already thrown Lian Ruohan on the bed, ready to ravage her0

"A college girl, two years younger than you, right?" Lian Ruohan seemed to know that Xia wanted to eavesdrop on the side. He deliberately paused for a moment before he said, "Actually, he is still a good person, Wei Xin is a very hard-working girl, Xia Xiang wanted to help her, so I introduced her to work with me,"

Lian Ruohan briefly introduced Wei Xin, she was very smart not to ask Cao Shuhui why she didn't know Wei Xin, she was also a thoughtful woman. After finishing talking about Wei Xin, he changed the topic and pretended to ask inadvertently: "Is it Xia Xiang's birthday today?" I remember him seems to have said that he had a lunar birthday.

Cao Shuhui raised his little fist at Xia Xiang, and raised his little face again, expressing his dissatisfaction to him, Xia Xiang laughed with him, pretending to be ashamed.

"Yes. Today is his birthday on the lunar calendar, do you want to come over and celebrate for him? He's right next to me, would you like to have a few words with him?.

Lian Ruohan's voice couldn't hear any changes: "Don't, I'm a little busy, I can't leave, just wish him a happy birthday for me!" ”

But now Xia Xiang, who has an in-depth understanding of Lian Ruohan, still sensitively heard a trace of her nervousness and uneasiness from the ups and downs of her voice, and he knew in his heart that Lian Ruohan should have guessed that Cao Shuhui had already seen that the relationship between her and herself was a bit beyond that of ordinary friends.

Cao Shujian hung up the phone, looked at it a few more times intentionally or unintentionally, and said: "Even my sister is really, if she really wants to wish you a happy birthday, she should call in advance, or invite us to have dinner together." How nice it should be. ”

Xia Xiang smiled and said: "I forgot about it" It's not a birthday, and it's not a big deal. ”

"I just thought. Sister Lian will not give you a surprise. Celebrate your birthday again? Bu Yatou came over, hugged Xia Xiang's arm, and took the initiative to kiss him on the face for the first time, "I'll give you a birthday gift today!" ”

Xia Xiang directly ignored Cao Shuhui's first sentence, and followed her second sentence downward: "Why don't we take advantage of the dead of night tonight to study hard?"

"Don't think about good things, Mom and Dad will come back at any time." The little girl's eyes were a little blurred, and a layer of flushing appeared on her face. A little confused, "It's always yours to be yours, you can't run."

The little girl is emotional? Xia Xiang couldn't stand the little girl's infinite shyness, so he thought a little badly, and was about to pounce on his hands when suddenly the phone rang again.

It's a text message.

Xia wanted to open it and take a look. Suddenly laughing and laughing, it turned out to be a text message from Mei Xiaolin: "I wish you a happy birthday!" Other. I know your birthday from your resume, so don't worry about it

Cao Shuhui picked up the remote control and changed the channel casually, Xia thought about it, and still confessed honestly: "It's a text message from the beautiful secretary, I wish me a happy birthday." ”

"Prove that you are very popular.

The little girl is very smart, just say one word, and don't ask more.

Xia Xiang wanted to explain again, but suddenly the text message came again, it was Mei Xiaolin: "I didn't want to explain too much, but when I think that you must be with your girlfriend now, I will say one more word, and explain it to your girlfriend for me, just say that we are just a working relationship." ”

Xia wanted to be happy. couldn't help laughing, this Mei Xiaolin is really interesting, isn't there no silver three hundred taels here? But fortunately, he understood the little girl's temper, so he handed the phone to the little girl. The little girl glanced at it a few times and smiled: "This female secretary is really interesting, and her temperament is really straight." Her temper is a bit similar to that of the blue socks, and there is one thing to say. ”

Xia Xiang took the opportunity to hug her and whispered, "You don't care much? ”

The little girl gave him a blank look: "What kind of heart?" I'm not going to sit idly by, and I'm not going to be cranky. Men can't control it, if you really like someone, you will be good to him wholeheartedly, and be so good to him that he is embarrassed to have other ideas, right? ”

Xia Xiang nodded hurriedly: "Yes, that's right, Hui girl is so smart, you will write a book in the future, the book is called "How to Keep a Man's Heart", which is definitely a bestseller." ”

"Forget it. I don't have that level. I just hope that I have the ability to keep the heart of the person I like, and then teach others? Where is that time! She smiled mischievously, "I'll keep me busy just by taking care of you." ”

Xia Xiang Khan: "I'm so bad? It's so uneasy that you are always on guard? ”

The little girl giggles! "Where do you want to go, I mean, I have to take care of you, care for you, look at you every day? It's your own weak heart, right? ”

Xia Xiang nodded: "Understand, understand, I misunderstood the leader's intentions, and now I sincerely accept the leader's criticism."

"Come less. The little girl smiled and punched Xia Xiang in the chest, but was grabbed by the county and couldn't break free, so Xia Xiang began to look for her little mouth, waiting for an opportunity to do another stamping exercise. Unexpectedly, the lips were just glued together, and the text message rang again. Xia didn't want to see it, but the girl took the opportunity to push him away.

Take a look at whose text message it is, don't miss someone's blessing she giggled and ran to the side. Make a silent gesture with your hands, "I hear my parents going up the stairs, stop making trouble."

Xia Xiang shook her head The little girl was a weird elf, and it was really hard to take it, so she had to pick up her phone and look at it. It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, I was shocked when I saw it, it turned out to be Xiao Jia's text message.

Xiao Jia's text message was a little strange: "Are you happy?" I'm happy! The meaning is a little profound, and the association is a bit rich, but Xia Xiang understands in her heart that she is actually still wishing him a happy birthday, because her subtext is: You are happy, so I am happy.

The little girl's ears were really smart, and sure enough, there was a knock on the door, Xia Xiang took advantage of her opening the door and quickly replied to Xiao Jia with a text message, the content of the text message was: "You are happy, so I am happy." Then he deleted the text message with lightning speed. I secretly told myself in my heart that when I had my birthday next year, I had to make arrangements in advance. Who to be with a day earlier and who to be with a day later. Who you are with that day must be clearly distinguished. There can be no mistakes.

Otherwise, it will be doomed.

Cao Yongguo and Yu Yufen came back together.

Cao Yongguo was slightly drunk, and when he saw Xia Xiang, he said happily: Xiao Xia is here, let Wang Yufen cut the cake for you and celebrate your birthday. Meddlesome. Another year of maturity

Wang Yufen slapped Cao Yongguo on the arm: "Don't let you drink so much, do you want to drink?" What an old person, without a little self-control. Or the deputy mayor, drunk, what does it look like? ”

Cao Yongguo ignored Wang Yufen's complaints, sat on the sofa by himself, and said with a smile: "Xiao Xia, do you know who I am drinking with?" It's Mayor Chen and Secretary Lu! ”

Wang Yufen brought the cake, Cao Shuhui put a candle on it, and Xia Xiang was at Cao Shuhui's request. I blew out the candles in one go, then cut the cake and distributed it to everyone.

Cao Yongguo waved his hand, indicating that he would not eat the cake. Wang Yufen disagreed, and forcibly stuffed a piece in his hand: "This is Xia Xiang's birthday cake, you can eat it if you don't eat it." If you don't eat, you don't give your daughter face. ”

Cao Yongguo pointed at Wang Yufen with his hand: "Look, this is my experience, you can't get used to your wife too much in the future, otherwise she will take care of you every day." Let you do this, let you do that, it's annoying

Xia Xiang laughed and didn't dare to comment.

Wang Yufen glared at Cao Yongguo and wanted to say something. was pulled aside by Cao Shuhui. Cao Shuhui persuaded: "Mom, Dad has something to say to Xia Xiang, you go watch TV." ”

Cao Yongguo really has something to say, Shi Xia wants to say.

He went to visit Secretary Lu with Chen Feng today, perhaps because he was about to retire, or because he was looking at Chen Feng's face, Secretary Lu was quite polite to Cao Yongguo, and the three of them went to a quiet leisure manor for dinner together.

Secretary Lu will retire this year because of his age, and Cui Xiang will take over his position as secretary. In addition, Zuo Anping, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Minister of Organization. It is possible to be transferred to the Western Province as deputy secretary, and the vacated position of organization minister will be allocated on the spot in Yan Province. It is still airborne from the capital, and the province and the capital have not yet reached a consensus. Gao Chengsong resolutely opposed the idea of parachuting in the capital, and clearly pointed out that there were too many airborne cadres in the capital, which was not conducive to the economic development and political stability of Yan Province.

There is no unanimous opinion in the capital, and it is currently in a stalemate.

"An organization minister naturally attracts the attention of all parties, whether it is Jicheng or Yan Province. There are too many people staring at this position, and there will definitely be a compromise in the end. Secretary Lu said with emotion.

"Legend has it that Secretary Gao has a close relationship with that person. Is it true? Chen Feng asked, there are many rumors about Secretary Gao, such as that he has a secret relationship with that person, such as he has received a personal promise from that person, and so on, it is precisely because of this that he is so fearless, and no one dares to challenge his authority in Yan Province.

Secretary Lu raised a finger: "There is nothing groundless in the world, since it is a rumor, there are naturally traces to be found." However, one thing must be remembered in officialdom is that there are some things that can only be known in the heart, but cannot be said from the mouth. ”

Chen Feng hurriedly replied respectfully: "Yes, I will remember, Lu Shu is evil"

Secretary Lu glanced at Cao Yongguo a few more times, and said meaningfully: "I know that Yongguo and Chen Feng have similar tempers and are both pragmatic and good cadres, but in the next step, Chen Feng will become the secretary of the Yanshi Municipal Party Committee, and Yongguo wants to be the mayor, which is unlikely."

Cao Yongguo also knew that according to the principle of balance, the province would not allow the party and government leaders of a sub-provincial city to cooperate too much, which was very detrimental to the control of the province. And there is another point, Cao Yongguo's experience is too shallow, and now he is further becoming the mayor of Yan City, which is equivalent to stepping into the ranks of deputy provincial cadres, and the progress is a bit too fast, and it is difficult to convince the public.

Cao Yongguo did not hide his true thoughts in front of Secretary Lu: "It would be a lie to say that I don't want to, of course, I also know that the province has always had some opinions on sub-provincial cities." I have a good relationship with Mayor Chen, and I am close, and it is the "grievance" of Zhouzhou. Don't please the right now, there is just a crying machine, and it is inevitable that there will be fish rope four today."

Secretary Lu smiled hehehe: "Yongguo is very honest, I like this kind of character." Let's put it this way, Yongguo, when I retired, I also put forward a condition, that is, to let Chen Feng take the position. So I can't make any new ones. I can't help you with your progress. ”

Although Cao Yongguo didn't hope that Secretary Lu would help him much, he was still a little disappointed when he heard Secretary Lu's words with his own ears, he nodded and said, "I actually came to thank Secretary Lu, without your words." I can't sit in the position of executive vice mayor, how dare I ask you to help again? Thank you very much

Secretary Lu shook his head: "Yongguo, I will definitely help you if I can help you, you and Chen Feng have a temper, which is equivalent to a temper with me." When I help you, I help myself. "There was a pause. He suddenly said with a happy face, "By the way, the secretary of the municipal party committee of Bao City is also old, and the mayor of Bao City is not qualified enough to take over as secretary. ”

Although the secretary of the municipal party committee of Bao City is at the same level as the executive vice mayor of Yan City, and Cao Yongguo used to be considered a flat adjustment, the secretary of the municipal party committee is after all a big member of one party, and he is in charge of one party and is not controlled by others, so that his personal governing philosophy can be better implemented, and it is the best stage to give full play to his personal ability. Compared with the heads of the province in Yan City, and the various constraints of the municipal party committee, the autonomy is much greater.

Cao Yongguo couldn't help but be moved.

Chen Feng was a little reluctant to let Cao Yongguo leave Yan City, because if Cao Yongguo did not leave, he would definitely be able to sit firmly on the throne of the executive vice mayor, so that his influence on the government would not weaken. If Cao Yongguo leaves, and a new mayor is transferred, let's not talk about whether he is compatible with him, Tan Long is the one who can take over the position of executive vice mayor of Cao Yongguo, and if Tan Long and the new mayor form an alliance at that time, the situation will not be optimistic.

But from the perspective of being happy to let Cao Yongguo go further, Chen Feng had no reason to persuade Cao Yongguo

Under.

Cao Yongguo could also guess Chen Feng's thoughts, but he didn't say anything. Above officialdom, it is not uncommon for the sake of friends to give up opportunities, but they are too few. If there is really an opportunity to take office in Baoshi, he does not want to miss it. After all, the vacancy of the secretary of the municipal party committee is a scarce resource, and we must seize the opportunity.

Cao Yongguo boldly proposed: "If Minister Lu raises this matter in the Standing Committee, it would be great if Secretary Lu could say a few kind words."

Secretary Lu glanced at Chen Feng inadvertently, and Chen Feng had no choice but to say: "I still support Yongguo's idea, he can govern one side." It will be of great benefit to his future development. It is also a great good that Secretary Lu can speak for Yongguo before he retires. ”

After Cao Yongguo got Chen Feng's support and Secretary Lu's promise, he was in a good mood and couldn't help but drink a few more glasses

Xia Xiang listened to Cao Yongguo's words, held a piece of cake in his hand, and was speechless for a long time.

Bao City is north of Tsubame City. Located between Yan City and the capital, it is an ancient city, the economy is not up or down, there is an industrial base, and agriculture is also developed, and it ranks in the middle of more than a dozen cities in Yan Province. If Uncle Cao can become the secretary of the municipal party committee of Shangbao City, it is also a good thing. However, if Uncle Cao goes to Bao City to take office, Cao Shuhui and Cao Shujun will naturally not be able to go together, and the two of them will go to college, and Aunt Wang will definitely accompany them. And it can be said that as soon as Uncle Cao left, he lost a lot of help in Yan City.

After all, the secretary of the municipal party committee of Bao City can't manage the affairs of Yan City, in short, it has a slightly bad impact on himself, but thinking that Gao Chengsong's fall is imminent, Uncle Beast is far away from Yan City and avoids political storms.

According to the normal historical process of the fall of the Gao family, there should be less than a year to go. What exactly happened that triggered the fuse, Xia Xiang can't remember very clearly, but the time is not too much, and it will be the first half of next year at the latest.

It stands to reason that if Uncle Cao goes to Bao City, if he hints to Gao Jianyuan, Gao Chengsong and Uncle Cao have no conflict of interest now, as long as Gao Jianyuan speaks, he will definitely speak.

As long as Gao Chengsong spoke. Uncle Cao's going to Bao City is an ironclad thing. But now it's too late for Xia to stay away from Gao Jianyuan, and he definitely won't ask him for help. If Gao Chengsong can speak for Uncle Cao, after he falls, I am afraid that Uncle Cao will be branded with Gao Chengsong, even if he is not too implicated, his future career will be greatly affected.

Xia Xiang felt a little headache The situation in Yan Province was really turbulent, and he saw that there was an earthquake coming. Yan City wants a new mayor, Yan Province wants to have a new secretary, and there is also an organization minister, Song Chaodu also wants to be among the ranks of vice governors, and Li Dingshan also wants to operate in the district as the district head, and in the long run, once Gao Chengsong falls, not only will he vacate the position of secretary of the provincial party committee, but it is estimated that his followers will also fall a lot.

After the chaos, there will be great governance, and it is precisely because of the chaos that there are more opportunities for choice, so that many people can have the opportunities they dreamed of at their fingertips.

Without waiting for him to propose how to arrange Uncle Cao's family after he went to Bao City, Uncle Cao took the initiative to raise this question: "If I really go to Yan City, Xiaoxia, Shuhui and Shujun will depend on you to take care of them." You are in Yan City for me. How about picking up this home? ”

Uncle Cao's words were heavy. It was very weighty, Xia Xiang felt a responsibility on his shoulders, and nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Cao, I will definitely take care of Shuhui and Shujun."

Defense: It's hot, you want to be cool, you know
