(Continue to ask for votes and make your way to the new book list.) As long as it's on the list, brothers, plus is even more certain. ）

"Xiao Xia, stay and eat!" Cao Yongguo ate the last bite of the apple and said undoubtedly.

"That's it, stay and eat." Cao Shumu learned again, and then grinned, "Senior Xia, I still have a lot of questions that I haven't asked you, and it's not so easy to leave." ”

Xia thought that it would be hypocritical to leave again, so he had to sit down and say, "How embarrassing is this?" ”

Wang Zhifen suddenly pointed at Cao Yongguo and laughed: "Old Cao, you are the master, how can you make Xia want to peel apples for you to eat, you are really embarrassed!" ”

"Yes, Director Cao is an elder, I am a junior, and it is my honor to peel an apple for the director. It is estimated that how many people in the bureau want to peel apples for Director Cao to eat, but they can't line up. Xia Xiang said without losing any time.

Cao Yongguo laughed: "Okay, you Xiaoxia, you have also learned to pat on the back." In my place, since you call yourself a junior, why do you still call me Director Cao? Doesn't that seem right? ”

Xia wanted to hear the string song and know the meaning of elegance, and hurriedly shouted respectfully: "Uncle Cao! ”

Cao Yongguo laughed happily, Cao Shumu stretched out his fingers to make a "victory" gesture, and then rushed to the kitchen to make tea.

chatted with Cao Yongguo casually about some work matters, Xia Xiang couldn't hear anything from his tone, after all, he has been the director for many years, and he won't bring work things to his home, and he can't do what he wants to say to Xia about the things in the bureau. Xia Xiang also knew that he couldn't ask more, he was just using an excuse to test some questions.

"The boss of our company is called Li Dingshan, I don't know if Uncle Cao knows him?"

Cao Yongguo knew that Xia Xiang had been transferred out of the Sanjian Company, he had been an official in the construction circle, his limited surname was relatively large, and his communication was not very wide, so he looked at Xia Xiang with a complicated look in his eyes and said: "I have heard of this person, I have had a few relationships, and I have no contact." ”

Xia Xiang smiled and said with emotion: "I admire Mr. Li very much, he works very hard, has always relied on his own ability, and does not depend on relationships. In fact, he has a very good classmate in the provincial party committee, who seems to be called Song Chaodu, and he doesn't ask him for help......"

"Song Dynasty?" Cao Yongguo was taken aback, "Is it Song Chaodu, Secretary General of the Provincial Party Committee?" ”

Although the top leaders of provincial-level departments and bureaus are also department-level cadres, there is still a big gap between them and the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee who are in contact with the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Governor, so Cao Yongguo suddenly heard Song Chaodu's name, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and his calm expression was also slightly moved.

As a person in officialdom, Cao Yongguo knew that his biggest shortcoming was that his foundation was unstable, and there was no strong person on it to help him speak. Since Gao Chengsong, secretary of the provincial party committee, took office, he has obviously felt the pressure, and he knows very well that his position is very critical and very important, and he has been squeezed out by Gao Chengsong, and he is very sad.

In fact, the Provincial Urban Construction Bureau belongs to the Construction Committee, and the Construction Department has not yet been established at this time, and the normal level should be regarded as the deputy department, but Cao Yongguo was promoted to the main hall two years ago, so he is in the position of the director of the Urban Construction Bureau, which can be regarded as a high match and a low position. If there are people in the provincial party committee with his qualifications, he can be transferred to the director of the construction committee or to other better departments and bureaus, and he can be completely competent.

It would be nice if he could get acquainted with Song Chaodu, at least there would be one more person in the Standing Committee to speak for him. The things in officialdom are the things you help me and I help you. Of course, Cao Yongguo also knew that Song Chaodu was about to lose power, but in his opinion, Song Chaodu was still very young, and since he had achieved the position of a member of the Standing Committee at a young age, it would be normal for him to come back again. Gao Chengsong is too arrogant, can he pinch the officials of the entire Yan Province in the palm of his hand and manipulate it at will?

Even if he wanted to, the above wouldn't agree, would he? The middle level takes the mean, the upper level relies on balance, and there is no balance force in a province, so that the secretary's family is dominant, and it is not a situation that the central government is willing to see.

If Xia wanted to know Cao Yongguo's thoughts, he would definitely persuade him not to underestimate the enemy, because he was too optimistic. Gao Chengsong tossed in Yan Province for more than two years before stopping, which really made Yan Province a miasma.

Xia Xiang is also guessing, and he is also betting that Cao Yonghui will be tempted and will be interested. He also understands that he can be the leader of the provincial bureau, and in the standing committee of the provincial party committee, it is impossible not to have someone who speaks for him. The appointment of the director of the provincial bureau must be discussed at the Standing Committee. However, each Standing Committee member has its own network and circle, which is not easy to break into. But it's different now, now that the Song Dynasty is losing power, people who didn't want to accept him before, if they look for him at this time and get close to him, they will get more results with half the effort than when he was on stage.

Sending charcoal in the snow is always more memorable than icing on the cake.

"It should be, I didn't ask about the specifics, I just took a call from him, and he claimed to be from the provincial party committee." Xia Xiang didn't mean to deceive Cao Yongguo, but to give him a feeling that he had no intention of inserting willows. Another point is that he is not sure whether Cao Yongguo is willing to seize this opportunity, and whether the person behind Cao Yongguo is willing to put down his body and contact with Song Chaodu.

"Song Dynasty...... I know him. After Cao Yongguo said a word, there was no follow-up.

Cao Shumu came up to make tea, and Xia wanted to get up and set up the teacup and pour tea for Cao Yongguo. Cao Yongguo took a sip of the teacup, and then motioned to Xia Xiang to taste it too: "It's not too good tea, but it's reasonable, it's Tieguanyin." ”

The tea is golden, clear and bright, with a strong aroma, Xia Xiang took a sip, and the entrance was mellow and thick, fresh and sweet. Take another sip and let the tea soup roll back and forth in your mouth, and you can feel the unique fragrance of Tieguanyin echoing in your mouth. In later generations, he was also a tea lover, and he had drunk a lot of good tea, but he had never tasted such a strong taste of Tieguanyin, this tea should be the best Tieguanyin, with a market price of between 2,000 and 5,000 yuan.

Xia Xiang couldn't help but praise: "Whether it is color, aroma or taste, it is the best in Tieguanyin." Good tea is hard to find, and today it is said that it is stained with Uncle Cao's light, and a cup of fragrant tea can be worth ten cups of spirits. ”

Cao Yongguo nodded again and again: "I didn't expect that Xiao Xia is not only mature and stable, well-informed, but also has research on drinking tea." You are so young and have this surname, but it is not simple, compared to my Mucuna and Xiaojun, I don't know how much stronger. ”

Cao Yongguo now looks at Xia Xiang more and more like it, the young man in front of him is not slow, he knows the general situation, and he has a good sense of humor, the key is that he can talk to him very well, and there is a relationship between his younger brother and colleague's son, which makes him feel close involuntarily.

Cao Yongguo was very concerned about what his family thought of him, so when he heard that it was the son of his brother's colleague, he agreed to help without much thought. Later, after the matter was completed, Xia Xiang came to the house twice, at that time he didn't talk much, a little shy and a little young, Cao Yongguo didn't have much impression of him, anyway, helping Xia Xiang find a job was just a gesture for him, as long as he let his younger brother fall into favor.

But he didn't expect Xia Xiang to come to the door for the third time, and after a little more contact, he showed his witty and funny side, and talked decently, not too restrained, but also without losing etiquette, which made him feel good at the same time, so he talked a lot and talked more gossip. Unexpectedly, after some gossip, he actually learned an important news from Xia Xiang's mouth, and Xia Xiang may also become an intermediary, allowing him to make friends with Song Chaodu.

Cao Yongguo couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, could it be that this young man would bring him good luck?

"Dad, it's okay for you to praise others, but you can't belittle me, no!" A lazy voice came, and out of the room came a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, dressed in shorts, barebacked, yawning, his eyes squinted, and his eyes were full of disdain and arrogance when he looked at Xia Xiang.

Cao Yongguo looked angry: "Xiaojun, how can you speak?" When the guests come, they don't know how to say hello, what do you look like? This is Xia Xiang, a person from his hometown. ”

Cao Shujun squinted at Xia Xiang and said contemptuously: "What hometown people? There are always people coming to my hometown, why don't you let people stop a little? Annoying. You too, really my dad is omnipotent, begging for this and that, I can't wait for my dad to help you arrange a lifelong future. ”

Cao Yongguo was furious: "Get out of the way!" If you talk any more nonsense, I'll clean you up. ”

Cao Shujun closed his mouth, but after walking away from Xia Xiang with an arrogant expression, his eyes were full of contempt, and he did not hide his domineering. Xia Xiang smiled, he would not engage in a meaningless battle of words with Cao Shujun, which not only fell behind, but also made Cao Shujun get carried away. In his opinion, Cao Shujun is just a little child, relying on the status of his parents, he is naturally pretentious.

The discipline of the next generation by high-ranking officials is indeed a problem, no wonder there are so sloppy children in society, Xia Xiang couldn't help but shake his head secretly. After thinking about it, I was relieved, compared to Cao Shujun, Cao Shumu did not have the arrogance of the director's daughter at all, people are different from each other, and they cannot be generalized.

Cao Shumu, who was helping in the kitchen, heard the movement, came out of it, unceremoniously twisted Cao Shujun's ear forward, and said viciously: "I count to three, and immediately apologize to Xia Xiang, otherwise I want you to look good!" ”

Cao Shujun was like a mouse caught by a cat, his arrogance disappeared, and he begged for mercy in a low voice: "Good sister, spare me, let me go, I will definitely give you the work of dogs and horses." ”

Cao Shumu didn't agree: "Apologize, I didn't discuss." ”

Xia Xiang didn't want to make a fuss, so he accepted it when he saw it, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, what are you sorry for?" It is also normal for men to have some disputes. Besides, I was also young, and I think it was even more difficult to speak than Xiaojun back then. Forget about the Mucun, let Xiaojun go, when you are young and impulsive. ”

Cao Shumu let go of his hand at this time, and laughed as soon as he turned around: "Xia Xiang you are so powerful, why are you so good at talking?" ”

Cao Shujun didn't appreciate it, and snorted a few times and said, "I don't admit your affection, don't buy me with a few words." ”
