Chapter 932: The situation is abnormal

In three days, Xia Xiang arranged and arranged a lot of work, and everything went in an orderly manner, just when Chen Jiewen was not in Tianze, and because of her defeat on the Standing Committee, there was an endless stream of people who moved closer to Mayor Xia. Of course, Mayor Xia will not be carried away by victory, and adheres to three principles, one is not to receive guests at home, the second is that the slippery two-faced characters are not seen, and the third is that for the characters who come to get closer, he does not promise not to win over, but only depends on their future performance.

Within three days, although he also met with many people, there were few people who were really available in his eyes. It is not easy to establish his own team, and Mayor Xia is more picky in employing people, for now, the limited few people who can enter his eyes are only Yang Jian, Chen Tianyu, Peng Yunfeng, Li Xiaomin and Xu Ziqi, and there is also Liu Yijiu, who has never met, and the folk person is Zhang You.

Most of the snow on the road has melted away, because it is a high speed, basically the speed of the car is not slow, Xia Xiang looked at the gray scenery of winter outside the car window, and suddenly remembered that there was a figure who approached him before he came-Ji Fengsheng.

Unlike others, who are smiling and sycophant, when Ji Fengsheng came to report on his work - he was the director of the Information Department of the Municipal Party Committee Office, because Chen Jiewen was not in the Municipal Party Committee, Mayor Xia was temporarily in charge of the entire stall, and the Municipal Party Committee had to ask him for instructions if he had any problems, of course, the premise was a major event - his face was not very good-looking, as if he was embarrassed, and the work he reported was trivial and trivial, and at a glance he knew that he had taken the opportunity to show his loyalty to the mayor.

Ji Fengsheng is 45 years old, wearing a gray and white tunic suit, a pair of black-framed glasses, a lot of gray hair in his hair, and a little messy. The black-framed glasses look a little old, and one leg is still broken, and it looks like it will fall off when you touch it.

Xia Xiangming knew the real intention of his report work, but he didn't break it, he just simply looked at the report submitted by Ji Fengsheng, it was okay not to read it, and he was surprised when he saw it, because other people's reports were all printed, only his reports were all written word by word with a pen, and the words were written very beautifully, with the taste of a calligrapher, and the content of the report was also very literary, not a dry government-specific text.

Xia Xiang immediately glanced at Ji Fengsheng and beckoned him to sit down.

After Ji Fengsheng sat down, he first briefly introduced himself, and then said in a hesitant manner: "Secretary Xia, you will have a place for me in the future, although I say that I have no other skills, I can write a report and make a draft or something, and it is reasonable." ”

If it is reasonable for him to call Xia Xiang the position of the municipal party committee, but when he comes up, he shows his loyalty, and he says it so bluntly, it does not conform to the rules of officialdom, and it is not the performance of the city government, and if he changes to another mayor, he will definitely be flattened at once, let alone reuse him, and he will definitely be directly classified into a corner that is not useful. No one will reuse a subordinate who can't even speak official words well, because the most taboo thing in officialdom is to be open-mouthed, not only can't say what should not be said, but if you can't say a word correctly, it may ruin the future of a lifetime.

Woe comes from the mouth.

Xia Xiang is okay, the atmosphere of the bureaucracy on his body is not strong, but he is also dumbfounded, he only said a few words and sent Ji Fengsheng away, he will not have a bad impression of Ji Fengsheng, but he will not reuse him, Ji Fengsheng does not even understand the most basic rules of officialdom, he can survive in the officialdom until now, and he has also served as the director of the information department - although he is only at the section level, the 45-year-old section-level cadre has basically come to an end - it is already a miracle, the most important point is that there is no position for Ji Fengsheng in the team he planned.

When Ji Fengsheng was leaving, there was a thick look of disappointment in his eyes, and Xia Xiang didn't take it to heart, it's not that he has been used to seeing people in officialdom for a long time, but in a place like officialdom, there is no need to be soft-hearted, a person who is incapable You help him up, not to help him harm him, because he became a target as soon as he came up.

Later, when he spoke, Peng Yunfeng inadvertently talked about Ji Fengsheng and talked about Ji Fengsheng's experience. Originally, Ji Fengsheng was mentioned as early as 33 years old, which was a small occasion at the time, but when he was later promoted to the deputy department, he was disliked by the leaders at the time by saying the wrong sentence, and he missed an excellent promotion opportunity.

It was also Ji Fengsheng who had nothing to do, and somehow figured out a sentence "The secretary does big things, and the leader does small things", because the secretary arranges the work, and after the leader attends, he signs his name and speaks even if it is done, in fact, the behind-the-scenes work and the speech draft are all done by the secretary -- as a result, the words reached the ears of the secretary of the municipal party committee at that time, and the secretary of the municipal party committee said very unhappily: "Play the piano indiscriminately"

One sentence buried Ji Fengsheng's 10-year future

Later, there were several promotions, and there were opponents who mentioned the words of the old secretary, and as a result, they were replaced again and again, and it was not until Secretary Chen took office that Ji Fengsheng had another chance.

In fact, the original intention was not to really listen to the opinions of the cadres and the masses, but to go through the form, and at the same time to generate some income, most people knew in their hearts, so they sang praises, and the result was that the discipline was honest, and they wrote out the ** phenomenon, power and money transactions and all kinds of unhealthy trends in Tianze City, and also put forward 18 suggestions for fighting corruption and advocating clean government, and solemnly signed the name, and then submitted it.

As a result, during the deliberations, Pi Buxiu first read Ji Fengsheng's article, first applauded: "good words" and then after reading the content, his face was gloomy, "Who is this?" ”

The face of the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, who among the people below doesn't understand?

The key is that Pei Yifeng was also surprised, and after reading it, he sneered: "The head is the Tao, he is a talent, and he also listed eighteen articles, I think his name is Ji Eighteen." ”

Ji Eighteen's nickname was called.

Later, when promoting a deputy secretary general of the municipal party committee, the organization department reported Ji Fengsheng to go up, Chen Jiewen was also very satisfied with Ji Fengsheng's calligraphy and literary style, and was ready to name him...... Interestingly, it is a good thing to worry about the country and the people, but it is necessary to distinguish the priority. In his eyes, leaders don't do big things, so let him do big things. ”

As soon as Chrysostom, the secretary of the municipal party committee, opened, Ji 18 became a person who couldn't distinguish between the important and the important, who would promote him again? As a result, Ji Fengsheng's Zhengke went from 33 years old to 45 years old, and stood still for 12 years

Just because of a wrong sentence back then, he was suppressed by the unspoken rules of officialdom for 12 years, Ji Fengsheng is a high-achieving student who graduated from Tsinghua University, and he also published a large number of articles in the newspaper in his early years, and was once known as a pen of the Tianze Municipal Party Committee, but unfortunately, now he has been honed by officialdom to cringe, not only has no talent, but also no courage.

Xia Xiang listened to Peng Yunfeng's experience of Ji Fengsheng, but he just laughed it off and ignored it, officialdom is a place to hone people, sympathizing with a person will not bring any help to his progress, and he still has many important things to do, so he left it behind in a blink of an eye.

What Xia Xiang didn't expect was that it was this seemingly columbic and untimely Ji Fengsheng who made an admirable feat in an incident, and became the fuse for rectifying the officialdom in Tianze City, causing an increasingly violent turmoil.

And afterwards, he was heartbroken and reflected on his thinking on employing people

……

When he arrived in the capital, Xia Xiang first went to Lian Ruohan's villa to meet Lian Ruohan's mother and son. Even Xia has grown taller, and he has his own little ideas, and he is not as dependent on Xia Xiang as before, so he only hugged him and ran to the side to read a book. Even Xia loves to read, and often sits still for half a day, and it is difficult for him to sit still at a young age.

In broad daylight, there was no way to be warm with Lian Ruohan, so the two of them talked. In winter, the room is as warm as spring, the heating is very sufficient, the room temperature is about 22 degrees, very comfortable, even Ruohan only wears tights. Because of the recent diligent exercise, the lower abdomen has become flatter, and the legs are more straight and hard, especially the tights are a fatal temptation for men, and the room temperature is too high, Xia Xiang is a little dry.

Even Ruohan saw Xia Xiang's needs, so he laughed at him: "You are really useless, you spent so much effort last time, and there was no movement at all." She stroked her lower abdomen as she spoke, because she was curled up on the sofa and her posture was very moving.

Xia Xiang took her hand - as before, it was smooth and immaculate, like a beautiful jade - and couldn't help but think of the years in Ba County, so he said: "If you want to build a flower villa in Lang City, it is better to build one in Tianze City, there is a natural grassland." ”

"Also, I have this idea for a long time, but I am afraid that you will dislike our mother and son in the past and prevent you from finding a new love." Lian Ruohan said half-truthfully, and glanced at Xia Xiang, "In your eyes, I am already old, and a young and handsome mayor like you, I don't know how many women want to take the initiative to send them to the door." ”

Xia Xiang suddenly looked indignant: "Shi can be killed, but not humiliated, although I am not Liu Xia Hui, but I am definitely not a disciple." Lian Ruohan, I solemnly warn you not to destroy my innocence again. ”

Lian Ruohan giggled: "Pretend, you pretend hard." The more you pretend, the more I think you are weak-hearted. ”

Xia Xiang couldn't help it: "Okay, I admit that I can arrange a young and beautiful nanny for each municipal party committee leader, but I don't use ......"

Lian Ruohan smiled even more happily: "Okay, I don't doubt you anything, so I won't explain it in such detail." Xia Xiang let out a sigh of relief, thinking that she had finally passed the test, but she said one more sentence, "I knew from the time I met you in Ba County, you have a woman in your life, and there must be no shortage of women around you, but I also accepted my fate, who made you my nemesis." A woman will always meet her nemesis in her life, and then she will have to love and hate for a lifetime. ”

Xia Xiang smiled: "The old man has been in good health recently?" ”

"It's not bad, but he seems to have been on his mind lately, and I suspect he's thinking about you." Lian Ruohan's beautiful eyes turned around on Xia Xiang's face, "I think he and you are always playing dumb riddles, either you perfunctory him, or he calculates you, they are all a family, what can't you say?" ”

The family is true, but they are all political figures, especially the old man has spent his whole life thinking and calculating, so he can't speak clearly. And to be honest, Xia Xiang also thinks that there is indeed a gap between himself and the old man, not only in terms of political concepts, but also in terms of how he behaves in the world.

The old man summoned him to Beijing and asked him to visit Lian Ruohan on the one hand, on the other hand, he definitely wanted to mention his face and beat him. It should be that the old man has seen the clues and knows that his position is not firmly on the side of the family forces.

It's a headache, the old man is not easy to deal with, and now it's just an old man showing up, when Wu Caiyang is dissatisfied with him again, the situation will be serious.

After having lunch with Lian Ruohan, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Xia Xiang and Lian Ruohan came to Wu's house.

Basically, the Wu family has acquiesced to the fact that Xia Xiang is the son-in-law of the Wu family who cannot be disclosed, when Xia Xiang and Lian Ruohan walked into the Wu family's compound together, they suddenly had an absurd idea, the matter between him and Lian Ruohan should have been a secret or not, Cao Shumu had already accepted the facts, but Cao Yongguo didn't mention it as if he had never heard a little rumor.

In fact, Xia Xiang could also guess that it was impossible not to know the truth at the level of his father-in-law, and he didn't ask or mention it, which was actually equivalent to acquiescing to the facts. No matter how much my father-in-law is, he is also a politician, and he has seen too much filth in the officialdom, and it is estimated that even if he has opinions about himself, most of them still recognize his own personality.

Wu Caiyang is not there, Wu Caihe is not there, only the old man is at home, and Xia Xiang is secretly relieved. He is not afraid of Wu Caiyang, but he is unwilling to face his cold face.

Lian Ruohan led Lian Xia upstairs to play very interestingly, and Xia Xiang talked to the old man in the study. He saw that the teapot was steaming, so he took the pot and poured water: "The capital is still a little warmer than Tianze City, Tianze City is too cold." ”

"I don't think you're cold, and you're still over-energetic." The old man said with a smile, "The beginning is not bad, steady and orderly, small steps forward, much better than in Lang City." But after only a few slow steps, you want to run forward? ”

Xia Xiang sent the tea to the old man: "The tea should be hot before it tastes, and then drink it when the tea is cold, first, it has no taste, and second, it is easy to have diarrhea." ”

"I have no objection to you drinking hot tea, but don't brew the wrong tea, I give you a big red robe, you don't drink it, you have to drink green tea, it's cold in winter, and drinking green tea is not good for your health." The old man took the tea and took a sip, still with a smile on his face.

Xia thought clearly, the old man still used tea as a metaphor to imply that his ideological tendencies were deviated.

"The current situation in Tianze City is not optimistic, and great efforts must be made to break the deadlock and promote economic development." Xia Xiang led the topic to Tianze, "Supporting private enterprises is also an attempt, not to mention whether it is successful or not, at least we must work hard." ”

"Tianze City is not a city suitable for innovation, you stay in peace for two years, how good is the transition, take care of it, straighten out your future thinking, and don't rush forward." The old man said while pushing open the window and letting in the cold air, "The cold air in winter makes people sober up, Tianze City has a long winter, there is a good saying - spring planting and summer are long, spring harvest and winter hiding, just want you to hide the front, your practice of supporting private enterprises is not considered." ”

The old man sometimes speaks very subtlely, sometimes very directly, all in the different contexts, mainly between him and Xia Xiang, some things have been clarified, there is no need to avoid it anymore.

"If the deadlock is not broken, I will keep my light and cultivate obscurity every day, and the light will converge, and maybe the bad luck will also be cultivated." Xia Xiang made a joke, "Old man, do you think that with my current age, do you want to make a big career?" When you were my age, you must have been more ambitious than I was. ”

"The times are different, when I was in the world, what I wanted was a hard work, and if I fought it, it became a battle, and if I couldn't fight it, I left it to fate. You're different now, you don't have to gamble, wouldn't it be nice to stay in peace for two years? The old man patted Xia Xiang's shoulder affectionately, "Anyway, if you take a step upward, it will be a bit cost-effective to take risks, and you must pay attention to the risk index when doing things." ”

Speaking of which, I still advise Xia Xiang to be more cautious and not to do thankless things.

"Tianze City's industrial foundation is thin, the foundation is poor, and state-owned enterprises can't support it, so they can only rely on private enterprises to open up the situation." Xia wanted to know that it was necessary to explain his philosophy to the old man, it was too deep to reveal, but some superficial thoughts could still be exchanged, "The old man is the same as me, in fact, he was also born in the common people, step by step to today, although there is a difference between heaven and earth with the level of ordinary people, but there is a good saying - the high level of the temple is worried about the people, for the officials, not for the benefit of the people, inactive, corpse vegetarian meal, it is really not as good as a dung digger can create value for the society." My ideals are not ambitious, at least within the scope of my ability, I want to bring benefits and benefits to the people under my rule, and it is not in vain that the people call me mayor."

Xia Xiang's words were very simple and emotional, and the old man was slightly moved when he heard it.

But then the old man still shook his head: "Tianze City is decades behind, it can't be changed overnight, and it can't be done with your own strength, the four have interests in Tianze City, and your policies will indirectly damage the interests of the four, even if the Wu family turns a blind eye, the others will not let you toss all the time." What do you want to do if someone catches someone and stabs Da Louzi, and even I can't protect you? I'm afraid I lost my hat. ”

The old man used the interests of the other three families to talk about things, in fact, he was still testing his position between the civilian forces and the family forces, Xia wanted to know, although the old man's tone was gentle, but there had been no deep communication between the two of them, most of them were superficial, all in plain sight, and they were all put on the bright side today, proving that the old man looked at this matter very carefully.

"There is one more thing...... the old man turned his back to Xia Xiang, and suddenly turned around, with a serious face, "With the support of the Wu family, Xiao Xia, keep your distance from the Song Dynasty as much as possible in the future, because ...... I don't like him a lot, and there's a good chance he's going to move. ”

What the? Xia Xiang was surprised.
