"That's not it, my face doesn't really reflect my mood, when I think about it, my expression will be a little more solemn, and it doesn't matter if you are by my side or not." Xia Xiang smiled, and showed a relaxed smile again, "It's time for you to be promoted, isn't it?" ”

Gu Yu's current level is at the department level, Ling is not very old, and he has little interest in politics, so he has not worried about how to go further.

"Forget it, let's do this first, the higher the level, the heavier the burden, do you think I look like a big leader? I'm still worry-free, and doing my own thing is the right thing to do. Gu Yu grinned disappreciably, and suddenly remembered something, "I heard that Mei Xiaolin may also come to Yan Jlili...... r……”

Mei Xiaolin stayed well in the Central Committee of the regiment, and she hadn't laid a good foundation yet, how could she come up with it again? Xia Xiang didn't want Mei Xiaolin to jump out of the Central Committee of the League early, there was no need to jump to Yan Province to go to troubled waters now, the so-called sharpening knives did not mistakenly chop firewood, and the experience of the Central Committee of the League was definitely beneficial to Mei Xiaolin's future growth.

Since Gu Yu knew a little bit of rumors, it was definitely not groundless, Xia Xiang decided to go back and persuade Mei Xiaolin not to rush down to the place, the center of the regiment is a good place.

He thought about things for a while, only to find that Gu Yu had no sound, and when he turned his head, Gu Yu curled up and tilted his head, his small mouth was tightly pursed, and he moved from time to time, it turned out that he was sleeping sweetly.

Gu Yu's sleeping posture is very moving, her face is quiet, her eyebrows are long, her face is as smooth as jade, delicate and lovely, the sun hits her face, and the fluff is clearly visible. Gu Yu's ears are very beautiful, and when the sun shines on them, they are almost transparent, and people can't help but want to bite into them.

Beauty is like jade, this situation is like a scene, after Xia Xiang experienced a series of events in the capital, he suddenly had a rare moment of relaxation, and there was a kind of tenderness surging in his heart.

However, when he arrived in Yan City, he still put Gu Yu down, and did not make any further progress with Gu Yu, but returned home first.

During the Chinese New Year, after a few days in the capital, Xia Xiang was physically and mentally tired, and as soon as he went home, he wanted to put down everything and sleep well, but today he had to go to the district committee to be on duty.

Cao Shumu hugged Xia Dong to greet Xia Xiang, and saw that Xia Xiang looked dusty, a little thin and a little hateful, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed. Xia Xiang hugged his wife and children in his arms, and comforted: "I finally went home, my home is still warm and comfortable, the rice in the capital is expensive, and it is not easy to live, and the price of Yan City is low, and the people are warm."

Cao Shumu felt Xia Xiang's strong love, and the uneasiness in his heart slowly disappeared, and he asked, "Sister Lian...... Are they okay? ”

Xia Xiang nodded: "It's okay, I'm always in Xifengbo these days, and the time with her is limited, let her live with Lian Xia Laiyan City for a while after a while, and you can see her often with 0"

Well. Cao Shumu nodded obediently, although she also felt that Xia Xiang should accompany Lian Ruohan's mother and son, but Xia Xiang was fine when she was by her side, as soon as she left, she thought that he couldn't do it, and she was a little apprehensive in her heart. Although she also felt that Xia Xiang was still by her side the most in a year, but women were still women after all, and it was still uncomfortable to think that Xia Xiang would be by Lian Ruohan's side for a few days in a row.

Fortunately, Xia Xiang was really careful, telling her that he had been busy outside, whether he was sincere or not, in short, he still cared about her feelings and was willing to let her feel at ease, and her heart was full of warmth, and at the same time, there was a little self-blame. In fact, Xia wants to give her and her son a lot, and it should be Lian Ruohan who should complain and be dissatisfied.

Cao Shumu also looks forward to seeing Lian Ruohan more, and sometimes being with Lian Ruohan "will make her feel a strange happiness, not only does she not feel that Lian Ruohan is the woman who robbed her man, but she will also have a feeling of returning to the good old days."

Men are used to feel distressed, Cao Shu J! I know that if a woman wants to be happy all the time, she must have a spirit of tolerance. To love someone is the process of accepting one's shortcomings. The same is true of marriage, the difficulty of marriage is that everyone is in love with each other's strengths, but they have to live with each other's shortcomings.

Xia Xiang only stayed at home for more than half an hour before he heard the car horn downstairs, "It was the driver who came on time to pick him up and take him to the district committee on duty."

Fu Xiaobin is really a careful and thoughtful director of the district party committee office, and even thought of letting the driver come to pick him up on time, Xia Xiang smiled secretly, as the big housekeeper of the district committee, Fu Xiaobin is not only competent but also does everything thoroughly, and he will be a promising person in the future.

When he arrived at the district committee, what Xia Xiang didn't expect was that not only Fu Xiaobin was there, but Jin Hongxin was also there, the two of them should not be on duty today, and the two of them came over, it seems that they are not just here to join in the fun.

Sure enough, Fu Xiaobin immediately greeted Xia Xiang as soon as he saw him: "Leader, Happy New Year, Happy New Year!" I didn't have anything to do today, but I suddenly remembered that there was still a job that had not been completed a year ago, so I came over today in advance to take a look and enter the state in advance. ”

Jin Hongxin also smiled respectfully: "Happy New Year, leader." I came over to see where there was still work to be done, I had to go to work tomorrow, I had to check and inspect in advance, and I couldn't be in a hurry to clean up or something when the leaders came tomorrow, which was my dereliction of duty. ”

Seeing that the two housekeepers of the district party committee and district government could do their duty, Xia Xiang was very pleased, so he snatched a few words from the two of them, and then went upstairs.

It is said to be on duty, but in fact there is nothing to do. Accompanied by Fu Xiaobin and Jin Hongxin, Xia Xiang walked around the building of the district party committee and district government, arranged for people to clean up, clean up the venue, and make comprehensive preparations for the official start of work tomorrow. What Xia Xiang didn't expect was that when it was almost 11 o'clock, Li Han also arrived. As soon as Li Han saw that Fu Xiaobin and Jin Hongxin were accompanying Xia Xiang, he greeted Xia Xiang when he came over, exchanged a few words, and said with a smile: "Secretary Xia, how about having a light meal together at noon?" I would like to report to you on the programme of work by the way. ”

Since Xia Xiang is on duty, Chao Weigang must also be on duty. However, Chao Weigang was busy sorting out documents in the office and drafting speeches for tomorrow's meeting, and did not follow Xia Xiang. Xia wanted to see Li Han sincerely invited, anyway, there was nothing to do at noon, so he wanted to agree casually, but he didn't open his mouth, and saw Chao Weigang trotting all the way over. "Leader, I received a bright call from Changji Business Yuan, he invited you to have dinner together at noon, Ao means one-one-one"

Yuan Mingliang made an appearance? Xia Xiangwei was stunned, thinking that the New Year was almost over, and the timing of Yuan Mingming's appearance was really good, he was really a caring person. Thinking of the scene when Yuan Mingliang was talking and laughing with Zhao Quanxin at the venue in the capital, Xia Xiang had an idea in his heart, turned around and smiled at Li Han: "District Chief Li, do you want to sit together at noon?" ”

Li Han was stunned for a moment when he heard that Wu Mingliang was going to invite Xia Xiang to dinner, and then heard that Xia wanted to invite him to go with him, so he naturally knew that it was a polite remark, so he would not be uninterested in having to come up, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I won't go and join in the fun......" He turned his head and glanced at Fu Xiaobin and Jin Hongxin again, "Do Xiaobin and Hongxin have time at noon?" ”

The district chief opened his mouth to invite, and face must be given, and Fu Xiaobin and Jin Hongxin both agreed. Although the two also knew that Xia Xiang would not care that they and Li Han were sitting together for dinner, they still quietly asked Xia Xiang's opinion with their eyes.

Xia Xiang didn't want Li Han to be too embarrassed, as if he was so arbitrary, so he pretended not to see Fu Xiaobin and Jin Hongxin's eyes, smiled, and didn't be too polite, so he turned around and left with Chao Weigang. When he arrived at the office, Xia Xiang took Yuan Mingming's phone: "Hello, I'm Xia Xiang." ”

"Secretary Xia, I'm Changji Commerce and Trade Yuan Mingming!" There is no bright voice, full of energy, and there is a little joy "Happy New Year!" I heard that Secretary Xia is on duty today, and I specially called to invite you to dinner, I wonder if Secretary Xia is willing to appreciate the light? ”

As far as the public is concerned, Yuan Mingming, as a big investor in the Xiama District, must give his face, otherwise it will seem that he is not enthusiastic enough about investors, and it is not his job to spread the word. At the same time, Xia Xiang's deep-seated idea is that he should also get in touch with Yuan Mingliang again, and the main work after the year is the economic construction of Xiama District, and the second is the trick between Yuan Mingliang, which is even more intensive. It's good to meet in advance, you can't test the other party's reality, at least you can know it in your heart.

Hmm......" Xia Xiang groaned slightly, didn't take it too seriously, and said, "It's a big New Year, it's rare for Mr. Yuan to stay in the north for the New Year, okay, I'll accompany you for a year's tail." You say earth I; i)i…… r……”

Xia Xiang didn't say that Wu Ming was celebrating the New Year in Yan City, but said that he was celebrating the New Year in the north, which naturally meant something.

Although the northern part of the country is wide, everyone knows in their hearts that it is actually nothing more than Yan Province and Peking Opera'0

This is a special reference to the capital.

Yuan Mingliang didn't know if he heard Xia Xiang's words, anyway, he smiled: "Okay, Secretary Xia is cheerful, I like it." I have long heard that Secretary Xia has good taste and high style, and a new floating restaurant has opened in Xiama District, so I invited Secretary Xia to a floating restaurant for a gathering, how about it? ”

After getting off work, Xia Xiang almost stepped on the time agreed with Yuan Mingliang and came to the bank of the Xiama River. At this time, the Xiama River is freezing cold, and a thin layer of ice has formed on the surface of the river, but above the river, there is a newly completed restaurant that is full of friends and lively.

The name of the hotel is Xiamaju, which obviously refers to the proximity to the Xiama River. In fact, according to Xia Xiang's thoughts, now in winter, the hotel is by the river, the air conditioning is pressing, and the business should be deserted.

I vaguely remember that only a few years ago, when it came to the New Year, the restaurants and shopping malls were all closed for the holidays. In recent years, the Chinese New Year is not much different from the New Year, it is still full of traffic on the streets, and the restaurants are overcrowded. Everything is too commercial, even the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner has to be eaten in a restaurant, and the original taste of the New Year has been lost. Yuan Mingliang was already waiting for Xia Xiang at the door of the hotel.

As soon as he saw Xia Xiang appear, and he was still a person, without a secretary or a driver, he squinted his eyes and smiled slightly, thinking that Xia Xiang was indeed an interesting person, it was rare to see him pay attention to style, and he never hugged him when he went out, and people who didn't know thought he was just an ordinary young man. In fact, Xia Xiang is a decisive, smart, and skilled 2Q-year-old district party secretary. Yuan Mingliang remembered the scene in the middle of the capital, and there was a trace of complicated and indescribable emotions in his heart.

At that time, the conflict between Xia Xiang and the Fu family, as well as the maintenance of Xia Xiang by the Qiu and Mei families, and even Wu Caiyang's coldness and taking advantage of the situation later, as well as Xia Xiang's last whispered conversation with the chairman and the prime minister, Yuan Mingliang and Fu Xianfeng were hiding in the dark at that time, and they could see it clearly.

Xia Xiang's calm coping in the field, and his unhurried composure, left a deep impression on Yuan Mingming. Although Xia Xiang is a person in the officialdom, it is not like he is a businessman, it stands to reason that the more officials he is, the more afraid of big officials, when a deputy department-level cadre faces two vice premiers, among a hundred people, there is no one who is not sincere at all, I am afraid that there is no one. just let him see a person, that is, Xia Xiang.

If Xia Xiang was able to keep his face unchanged in front of the two vice premiers because he believed that he had the Qiu and Mei families to rely on, then the appropriate humility he showed when talking to the chairman and the prime minister made Yuan Mingliang secretly shout hello to Xia Xiang.

Because when Yuan Mingliang saw Zhao Quanxin, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, his palms were sweaty, and he almost couldn't even speak, after all, the other party was a dignified vice premier, one of the dozens of top figures in China, in ancient times, he was the deputy prime minister. No matter how strong he prides himself on his strength, he is also proud to meet and interview the deputy prime minister.

Xia Xiang is the secretary of the district party committee, and the people in the officialdom are the most afraid of their superiors, everyone is flattered and tries their best to pat the horses when they see their superiors, Xia Xiang can keep quiet in front of the two vice premiers, no, and the head of the Central Propaganda Department, even if he just tries to pretend, it is a rare stubble.

Yuan Mingliang has a more understanding of Xia Xiang, thinking that Xia Xiang is far more mature than his age, and there is also a side that makes people more inscrutable. Originally, he planned to meet Xia Xiang after going to work, but after returning to Yan City, he changed his mind, thinking that it would be better to meet immediately, and the housing prices in Xiama District would definitely rise after the year.

Although Yuan Mingliang had already learned what Xia Xiang had done from Fu Xianxian, he knew that Xia Xiang was an extremely difficult person to deal with. But most of the relays of others are with personal prejudice, and it is not that Wu Mingliang does not believe Fu Xianxian, but that he stands on his own position, and needs to judge Xia Xiang's character and way of acting more accurately, and does not want to be affected by Fu Xianxian. Fu Xianfeng is a politician who starts from the standpoint of political struggle in everything. He is a businessman, and everything must be done in business, as long as he can make ruthenium, the issue of principle can be discussed again.

He needs to accurately judge Xia Xiang's governing style and bias, because Bai Zhanmo has gone, and the overall situation of the Xiama District is now completely in the hands of Xia Xiang, and although Li Han is a pawn buried by Fu Xianxian, he is only the district chief in the end. When Xia Xiang was still the district head, he was able to make Bai Zhanmo feel a big headache and tie his hands, now Xia Xiang has become a secretary, a strong secretary, Li Han is the second-in-command, can he still fight Xia Xiang?

Yuan Mingliang also knew that Fu Xianxian's intention was not to let Li Han and Xia Xiang fight against each other, or to fight with Xia Xiang for power in the Xiama District, but to let Li Han divert Xia Xiang's attention and let Li Han hide in the shadows to help Changji trade operate, instead of fighting with Xia Xiang in the open like Bai Zhanmo.

The open gun is easy to dodge, but the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent, Xia Xiang may not have thought that Li Han would be the person who pays the vanguard, and he may not be able to guard against Li Han's completely tilted towards Changji Commerce and Trade in terms of governing ideas, and if he wants to get out of his unexpected effect, what he wants is to keep Xia Xiang in the dark.

However, Xia Xiang is now the secretary of the district party committee after all, and he is the number one, no matter from which point of view, Yuan Mingliang should personally come forward to invite the parents and officials of the Xiama District to sit down, at least to be able to contact the feelings on the surface, and also show his due respect for the secretary of the district party committee.

Yuan Mingliang came forward in time and expressed his welcome and gratitude to Xia Mingming, Xia Xiang saw that Wu Mingliang had a sincere face, and his smile was also very eager, thinking that in fact, if Yuan Mingliang entered politics, he would also be a great political figure, at least he had the talent to perform, and he was very good at picking the opportunity.

Xia Xiang took the initiative to drive with Wu Mingming: "Yan City is cold, as a southerner, Mr. Wu is doing well in the winter in the north?" ”

Yuan Mingliang held Xia Xiang's hand tightly: "Thank you Secretary Xia for your care, in fact, the winter in the north is better than in the south, although it is dry and cold outside, but the room is as warm as spring, I like the winter in the north a little, haha." In the future, if possible, I hope I can spend a warm winter in the north every year. ”

Xia Xiang smiled: "The construction of Xiama District has just begun, if Mr. Yuan's investment in Xiama District has a long-term plan, it is indispensable to spend the winter in Yan City." I also know a lot of friends from the south who also like to spend the winter in the north......

The previous sentence of Xia Xiang's words was the point, Wu Mingliang smiled slightly when he heard it, but his heart moved, did Xia Xiang's words allude to it, or did he just say it casually? As the secretary of Xia Xiang's district party committee, it is also the proper meaning of the question to hope that every investor will have long-term prospects in Xiama District.

Yuan Mingliang stretched out his hand and pointed to a small boat by the river: "The hotel is full, and they have just launched a boat seat service, a table of banquets like a tour, which is very distinctive." Xia Xiang just said: "It's a little interesting, go, get on the boat." ”

Yuan Mingliang and Xia Xiang boarded the boat under the leadership of the waiter. The so-called boat seat is a small boat, decorated in the style of a private room, and there is a charcoal fire and heating inside, which is unique and has a great atmosphere.

The boat is swaying and swaying, although there is not much space, but it is also very meaningful. Xia Xiang and Yuan Mingliang sat opposite each other, asked for hot pot and side dishes, and after the waiter put the dishes together, he told the two of them to drive the boat to the river to eat, and the waiter could be left on the boat, or not. The two of them left no one behind, so they left the river bank in a small boat and came to the middle of the river.

There was a thin layer of ice on the Xiama River, which was so thin that when the boat started, the ice broke and creaked. Xia Xiang smiled: "Now we are on the same line, but be careful, we can't capsize." It is not easy for the speaker to say it unintentionally, but the listener is intentional.
