After the meeting, Xia Xiang returned to the office, and when he saw Li Caiyuan's successful smile, he knocked him lightly: "Caiyuan, you must remember one thing, victory is not arrogant or discouraged, you can become a big thing, and the saddest thing is to celebrate the first battle, and get carried away with pride." ”

Li Caiyuan understood something, and immediately looked serious: "Yes, Mayor Xia, I understand, and I will correct it in the future." ”

Xia Xiang smiled again, waved his hand into the inner room, and as soon as he sat down, the phone rang, it was a call from the provincial party committee.

It is not the phone number of the provincial government, nor the phone number of the general office of the provincial party committee, but the phone number of the organization department of the provincial party committee.

"Hello, Minister Mei." Xia Xiang took the initiative to say hello very politely.

Xia Xiang, why didn't you go to visit Meiting recently? Work is important, but so is the daughter, isn't it? Mei Shengping mentioned Mei Ting when he came up, which made Xia Xiang's heart move, and sure enough, then Mei Shengping said, "Yesterday Xiaolin called me, and she cried as she spoke, she missed her daughter, and wanted me to have time to take Mei Ting to Xiangjiang City to see her, where do I have time?" ”

Xia Xiang didn't answer Mei Shengping's words, he didn't dare to take Mei Ting to Hunan Province to visit Mei Xiaolin, which was tantamount to admitting the fact that he was Mei Ting's biological father in disguise, even if Cao Shumu was not in a hurry, even Ruohan had to be in a hurry.

He knows better that Mei Shengping is calling now, but it is not for the family relationship between Mei Ting and Mei Xiaolin, there must be something else.

Sure enough, Mei Shengping smiled again: "Xia Xiang, the promotion of genetically modified technology is not a big deal, is it too big now?" ”

When the drama came, Mei Shengping still mentioned the promotion of genetically modified organisms. I have long heard that the comprehensive promotion of genetically modified organisms in China is the largest cooperation project between the Mei family and the Fu family, Xia Xiang has been worried about when Mei Shengping will be on the table, and he also knows that sooner or later Mei Shengping will take the initiative to mention it to him, with Mei Shengping's character, there is one thing to say, and he will not hide it for too long.

"It's not too big, Minister Mei, you also know the situation in Lang City, I oppose GMO because I do think that GMO technology is immature, and I can't control the promotion of GMO in other places, but in Lang City, I will resolutely oppose it. Unexpectedly, it was normal to oppose the promotion of genetically modified technology, but someone took the opportunity to pour dirty water on me, as if I was a good bully, and now it has just begun, and it is estimated that there will be a lot of things in the future......" Xia Xiangming was talking about the matter of Lang City, but in fact, he still showed his firm position to Mei Shengping, and he did not give an inch on the issue of genetically modified organisms.

Mei Shengping laughed: "Look, you don't know what to say, but you must have an opinion about me in your heart, don't you?" Yes, it is true that the Mei family and the Fu family cooperate to promote genetically modified organisms in China, and there are also foreign forces involved, but they are all within the controllable range, and you seem to have a deep prejudice against genetically modified technology...... Forget it, whether it is feasible to discuss genetically modified technology, it is estimated that we will not reach a consensus, so I will put forward a condition, for the sake of Xiaolin and Mei Ting's face, and our good relationship for many years, let us take a step forward? ”

Hanging up Mei Shengping's phone, Xia Xiang fell into a dilemma for the first time.

If Mei Shengping asked him to give up a step very strongly, the exclusion and grievances he suffered in Lang City would come to his heart, and he would definitely reject Mei Shengping in one mouthful. If Mei Shengping offered a quid pro quo, he would also find an honest reason to refuse. But Mei Shengping, with the dignity of a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Minister of Organization, lowered his posture, and also played the card of family affection and friendship, which made him really in a dilemma.

Officials are also human beings, no matter how principled and standpoint-oriented, it is inevitable that they will waver in the face of family affection and friendship, in all fairness, Mei Shengping has always been really good to him, so he can't make up his mind to say no unswervingly.

Let's take a step, how to let? Mei Shengping didn't elaborate, he didn't ask in detail, things may take a turn again, maybe there will be a stalemate, Xia Xiang is not very optimistic about the prospects, in front of interests, because the previous relationship may still have warmth, but after the previous friendship is exhausted, it is still the greatest benefit, at this time, Mei Shengping will not be polite anymore, but may use means to exert pressure.

Although Xia Xiang had been mentally prepared, maybe one day because he touched the interests of several major families in some way, his former friends might also turn against him, but he didn't expect that when things were really in front of him, he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart. People are emotional animals, and he also misses the time when he used to drink tea and chat with Mei Shengping, and he also misses Mei Shengping's many care for him. It's just that after a person reaches a certain high position, he must have his own governing philosophy and position, and all along, Xia Xiang has not changed anything, and it is not that he is stubborn today to stick to his beliefs.

It's just that there is a conflict with the Mei family now.

After thinking about it, he still made a phone call to Mei Xiaolin, and implicitly said what he did in Lang City, which conflicted with the interests of the Mei family.

Mei Xiaolin was silent for a moment before saying: "In conflict with the Mei family, you still have the Qiu family and the Wu family as the backstage, and in the conflict with the Qiu family, you also have the Wu family and the Mei family to take advantage of, unless you conflict with the three families at the same time, then you will die." But I guess you're not that stupid, and you don't have that much energy. ”

Mei Xiaolin is indeed calmer and more connotative than before, and her words are very tasteful, Xia Xiang smiled: "You said that if Minister Mei is angry with me, how will he deal with me?" ”

"He has a lot of means, if you are on the same level as him, he may not be able to win, but now that he is the head of the organization, you have no chance of winning. However, my uncle is a maverick on the surface, but in fact he is sometimes lonely and cares a lot about his friends and relatives...... Especially when he has few friends, the only few friends he was angry at the time, and he may regret it later. ”

The girl is not outgoing at all, she explained Mei Shengping's old bottom in a few words, Mei Xiaolin is mature and stable, in front of Xia Xiang, she is also a woman, and she also thinks she is Xia Xiang's woman, so she didn't hide it.

Xia wanted to put down Mei Xiaolin's phone, thought about things for a while, and was about to go out, when he heard Li Caiyuan's report: "Mayor Xia, Secretary Zhang is here." ”

There is a secretary Zhang in the entire municipal party committee, Zhang Yao, the secretary of Ai Chengwen, secretary of the municipal party committee, and the most powerful one among all the secretaries of the Lang Municipal Party Committee.

Zhang Yao is not very old, at most 26 years old. At the age of 26, he served as the secretary of the municipal party committee, which is indeed enviable. But compared with the 29-year-old executive vice mayor Xia Xiang, he is only at the section level this year, which is not worth mentioning. Because three years later, he will also be 29 years old, but at best he can go to the deputy department, and he may not be a substantive deputy department.

Xia Xiang is a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Executive Deputy Mayor, people are more than people, envy the dead, Zhang Yao has always been more complacent, but since Xia Xiang came, he has converged a lot, with Xia Xiang as an example, anyone who thinks he is young and ambitious will have envy, jealousy and hatred.

Zhang Yao was entrusted by Ai Chengwen to specially invite Xia to think of the secretary's office, because Secretary Ai had something to find Mayor Xia.

It is said that the secretary wants to find Xia Xiang to have something to do, and he works in the same building, so he can just make a phone call. But letting the secretary personally invite him was intriguing, showing full sincerity.

If you are courteous to others, you must ask for something, Xia Xiang knew it in his heart, and followed Zhang Yao to the secretary's office. From his office to Ai Chengwen's office, the road is not long, but he has to pass by many offices, and along the way, many people have seen Zhang Yao and Xia Xiang talking and laughing.

After the shocking scene just happened at the Standing Committee, Secretary Ai personally sent his secretary to invite Xia Xiang, and he also intended to let others see it, many people speculated in their hearts, could it be that Secretary Ai and Mayor Xia are going to join forces?

When he arrived at Ai Chengwen's office, Ai Chengwen personally got up to greet him and gave Xia Xiang enough courtesy, which made Xia Xiang understand a little more, I am afraid that Secretary Ai wanted to take the opportunity to move Tu Yun away.

Ai Chengwen first had a few words with Xia Xiang, concerned about Xia Xiang's life, whether there were any difficulties, whether it was a habit to eat and live, etc., and even asked with a smile when he would pick up his family, and then the topic changed and talked about Tu Yun's problem.

Ai Chengwen revealed three meanings in and out of his words, one is to imply that Xia Xiang can take the opportunity to make a big deal out of it, if he has a good relationship with Secretary Li of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, he can let the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection secretly investigate Tu Yun's problem through private channels, and at the same time, he also refuted Tu Yun's attack on Xia Xiang on the Standing Committee. The second is to implicitly ask questions, wanting to probe Xia Xiang's tone, asking Xia Xiang whether he found Yang Bin's abnormality during Yang Bin's tenure as a driver, and why Yang Bin suddenly disappeared after the Tu Yun incident - the implication is to suspect that Xia wants to know something, and even ask Xia Xiang if he is behind the scenes.

First..., which is also a point that Xia Xiang didn't expect, Ai Chengwen suddenly talked about Wang Qiangrose's interesting story, that is, the interesting story of Wang Qiangrose's overnight fame that has been circulating among some people in Lang City.

"I can't remember exactly when it was, anyway, Wang Qiangrose just came to Lang City not long ago, at that time, Oh Chen held a cocktail party, invited many party and government leaders and business people in Lang City to participate, halfway through the cocktail party, someone performed on the stage, it was a song and dance program, there was a person singing, many people danced next to it. In the middle of the song, a masked girl rushed to the stage and pushed the singer away, saying that she sang so badly that it was better to let her sing it. At that time, many people were drunk, so they coaxed her to sing, but she was really shocked, and her singing voice was very moving, no less than a popular singer. ”

Xia Xiang had to admit that Ai Chengwen had been an official for too long, and he had more time to talk about official clichés, and his level of storytelling had dropped significantly.

Then there was an even more astonishing scene, when the masked girl who was singing began to take off her clothes one by one, and threw one at the audience, causing everyone to cheer continuously. At that time, they were all a little drunk, regardless of the image, and finally the masked girl took off only a piece of underwear, and loudly announced on the stage that her name was Wang Meiru, nicknamed Wang Qiangrose, and she was ready to come to Lang City to invest, hoping to be taken care of by the leaders and friends in the business community......

Xia Xiang is still the first time to see Ai Chengwen's eyebrows, although his storytelling level is average, but when it comes to Wang Qiangrose's extraordinary move, he is still fascinated, obviously, the shock brought to him at that time has always made him unforgettable.

I didn't expect Wang Qiangrose, who has an elegant temperament and aristocratic temperament, to have such a wild time, no wonder Liu Yilin has never told him about Wang Qiangrose's overnight fame, it turns out that there are allusions to stripping and singing, presumably she is embarrassed to speak. Wang Qiangrose is really smart, anyway, wearing a mask, no one can recognize who she is, she just needs to be famous. It is also when the celebrities in Lang City gather, and they are almost naked ** and everyone knows each other, and then they open their mouths on the grounds of care, and the hints in their words will make many men's hearts moved.

Especially if Wang Qiangrose has a proud figure......

Xia Xiang remembered a joke that if a man suddenly broke into the women's bathroom, the women who were taking a bath, where should they cover in a panic? Some people answer that it is the chest, and some people answer that it is below, but in fact, it is not right, and you should cover your face. Because women's bodies are the same, covering their faces, it's useless for men to see ** and not remember their appearance.

Wang Qiangrose is well versed in the three flavors, and with a masked but half-naked appearance, it brought enough shock, not only became famous in one fell swoop, but also left countless men with room for imagination, yes, indeed.

Xia Xiang even maliciously guessed that it was unknown whether the woman who called herself Wang Qiangrose in the audience at that time was herself, and maybe she was also a naked substitute, but the idea of Wang Qiangrose's fame was successful, and the purpose was achieved, she was the premier courtesan in Lang City.

After Ai Chengwen finished telling the story of Wang Qiangrose, seeing that Xia Xiang was also listening to it with relish, he couldn't help but joke: "Mayor Xia was not at the scene at the time, if you are also there, feel the atmosphere at that time, it is indeed memorable." ”

It's rare that Ai Chengwen is also funny, Xia Xiang laughed with him, and then said: "Mayor Tu's matter, you still need to investigate it carefully, after all, the matter is quite big, and you have to give everyone an explanation." Although it is inconvenient to report to the provincial party committee first, judging from the current situation, Mayor Tu is not suitable to work again for the time being, and he can take sick leave to rest for a period of time. ”

In fact, the things in the style of life can be big or small, you can suppress it if you want to, it depends on whether there are many opponents around you and whether you have the strength, Xia Xiang never thought that Tu Yun could be taken down with just one Yang Bin, creating panic, and taking advantage of the chaos is his original intention. However, Yuan Lili made a fuss, and there was no problem in achieving the goal of at least letting Tu Yun stop for a while, and as soon as Tu Yun stopped, the pioneer of genetically modified promotion was gone, and Gu Xiangguo's strength was greatly damaged.

At the same time, he also saw that Ai Chengwen was also very disgusted with Tu Yun, otherwise he wouldn't have been eager to fall into the well and want to move Tu Yun away. But simply moving away from Tu Yun is not in line with Xia Xiang's strategy of casting a long line to catch big fish, he didn't deal with Tu Yun in order to cooperate with Ai Chengwen, he had his own plan.

Therefore, he listened to Ai Chengwen's proposal and did not answer.

"It's okay, it's still in line with the principle of curing diseases and saving people, let Mayor Tu rest for a while first." Ai Chengwen saw that he said for a long time, Xia Xiang was unmoved, unhappy, knowing that Xia Xiang had his own ideas that were not easy to impress, so he was no longer reluctant.

Anyway, there will be opportunities in the future, and after Xia wants to understand that he is the real helmsman of Lang City, if he doesn't get closer to him, don't think about showing his hands and feet in Lang City.

"By the way, there is just one thing I want to report to Secretary Ai." Xia Xiang also knew that if Ai Chengwen didn't gain anything, it would seem that he wouldn't be able to do things, "The Public Security Bureau has a financial allocation, and I feel that it is a bit extravagant and wasteful, so I didn't approve it, so I pressed it down first." ”

"It's the money for a batch of off-road vehicles, right?" Ai Chengwen nodded and smiled, "Lang City is all plains, there is no need for off-road, an off-road vehicle is more than 500,000 yuan, and 3 cars can be purchased at a time, which is too luxurious, and it is indeed worth pressing." ”

Seeing that the two had reached a consensus, Xia Xiang got up with a smile and said goodbye. Ai Chengwen just owes a debt, and unlike the courtesy when he came, he just showed a little politeness and didn't get up to say goodbye again.

Xia Xiang didn't care, returned to the office, picked up the phone and called Yingcheng.

After contacting Shen Lichun and Sun Dingguo last time, Xia Xiang then contacted Yingcheng. At first, Yingcheng didn't quite accept Xia Xiang, but after Xia Xiang personally mentioned a bottle of mud pit to his home, he said Sun Dingguo's entrustment, Yingcheng carried the mud pit wine, and was full of emotion, recalling to Xia Xiang the eventful years of him and Sun Dingguo.

Yingcheng's family has countless good wines, and he loves to sing about the mud pit of more than ten yuan, and Xia Xiang will accompany him to drink. Halfway through the wine, Ying Chengcheng received a call from his son again, saying that he had been taken care of by Vice President Shen in Dacai Group, and not only promoted him, but also entrusted him with important responsibilities.

Yingcheng is a smart person, and immediately knew that it was Xia Xiang's face, so he put the wine down: "Mayor Xia didn't say anything to me, and I won't say polite words, if there is anything I need to help with, even if I say that I am about to retire in the city bureau anyway, I will give full play to the last residual heat." ”

Yingcheng is the deputy director in charge of criminal investigation in the city bureau, and hitting and escaping can be classified as a criminal case, Xia Xiang mentioned the car accident a year ago. Yingcheng pondered for a long time before expressing his worries, behind the car accident, there were many people involved, and it was okay to investigate, but Xia wanted to be prepared for a strong backlash.

Xia Xiang laughed: "Between me and Oh Chen, the contradiction has been superficialized, Yingju, I have no way out." ”

Yingcheng and Xia Xiang touched a cup: "Tell Lao Sun that if I can't retire well, I will go to Yan City to live in his house." ”

Xia wanted to know that Yingcheng had made up his mind, and he also said categorically: "Please rest assured that we will definitely win." ”

…… Xia Xiang's phone was connected as soon as he called, and Yingcheng's voice came from inside: "Mayor Xia, I heard about the Standing Committee, okay, hot-blooded man." ”

Xia Xiang smiled: "Let the British Bureau laugh...... When the conditions are ripe, if you are asked to be in charge of trying Yang Bin, can you withstand the pressure of Lu Hongzhan? ”

"No problem, it's absolutely no problem to hand it over to me, it's not so easy for Lao Lu to press me." Yingcheng is full of confidence, he is an old qualification in the Public Security Bureau, and all the directors and deputy directors, including Lu Hongzhan, let him score three points. Because he has solved many big and important cases before, he is an expert in solving cases.

When he got off work, Xia Xiang unexpectedly received a call from Li Li. Li Li has not been in contact with Xia Xiang since the last time they met at the tea tasting party, and he suddenly appeared today, it should be something. Xia Xiang had a good impression of Li Li, and he heard that Li Li asked him to dinner very sincerely, and his tone was very urgent, and he agreed to something big, but there was a trace of doubt in his heart, Li Li is the president, and if he has something, it will usually be out of the loan, is it ......
