really made Liu Yilin right, Xia Xiang was indeed a little surprised again! Wang Qiangrose's name, Xia Xiang already knew that she was one of the two major figures in Lang City alongside Oh Chen, but Oh Chen is famous, and Wang Qiang Rose is low-key and mysterious, only hearing her voice and not seeing her.

The owner of Mansion No. 9 turned out to be Wang Qiangrose? From this, it can be known that there must be entanglements between Oh Chen and Wang Qiangrose.

…… I have to say that since the last time I had an in-depth conversation with Liu Yilin, there has been a little more tacit understanding between Xia Xiang and Liu Yilin, although it has not yet reached the level of an alliance, but the relationship is still a little better.

In the next two days, Xia Xiang has been relatively busy, first talked to Ai Chengwen once, unexpectedly, Ai Chengwen's attitude towards him was okay, and he didn't say anything unpleasant about his meddling in the personnel issues of the Finance Bureau, but just nodded a little, and the implication was to let Xia Xiang report to him as much as possible.

Not long after the meeting with Ai Chengwen, Gu Xiangguo also talked to him once.

Compared with Ai Chengwen's obviously co-opted attitude, Gu Xiangguo is still very cold, not only cold, but also very cold, and in his speech, he intervened in the personnel issue of the Finance Bureau, and knocked a few words lightly.

And when working, there was also a big contradiction between Xia Xiang and Tu Yun, Tu Yun was very strong and demanded to implement her opinions, Xia Xiang did not insist, at the executive meeting of the government, made appropriate concessions, and fell into the eyes of others, Xia Xiang was in a completely weak position in the government team.

Xia Xiang didn't care about the momentary victory or defeat, not to mention that his eyes were not limited to the government team, but the entire municipal party committee.

Tu Yun's strength, I am afraid that there is also dissatisfaction with him serving as the executive deputy mayor, because Regan retired, the normal order should be that she became the executive vice mayor, but Xia Xiang parachuted in and blocked her way.

It's understandable, women, no matter how high-ranking officials are, they will inevitably be emotional, and why not let her let go? Xia Xiang was so busy that he didn't have time to worry about Tu Yun, and then accompanied by Tang Hualai and Li Caiyuan, he inspected the excellent residential commercial and residential community of Excellence Company, as well as the No. 9 Mansion located next to it.

800 acres of land, if in the suburbs of the wilderness, will not seem very big, but in the urban area, at a glance, only see a group of residences, indeed the scale is not small.

The Excellence Community and Mansion Nine are close to each other, and the design of Mansion Nine is quite ingenious compared to the high-rise Excellence Community.

The artificially built dirt hill with a small slope and the group of trees on the mountain, even have the taste of paradise when viewed from a distance.

Hidden among the trees, there are pieces of antique buildings with red bricks and green tiles, with cornices and corners, layered on top of each other, creating a spectacular momentum and the unique flying and brisk charm of ancient Chinese architecture.

Artificially created mountain, and there is the beauty of building by the mountain, the hill is not high, just the building complex is half covered and half hidden, and the hazy beauty of wanting to hug the pipa and half covering the face is added.

Xia Xiang secretly admired that the person who designed this place is a talent with great design talent, who can create a dirt mountain in the air, and can make full use of the advantages of the terrain to create a quiet No. 9 Mansion isolated from the surrounding environment in the plain area, which is indeed a great wisdom, and has the same effect as the forest park of Envision Group.

Even some aspects of thinking have been surpassed.

Xia wanted to say that it was an inspection, but in fact, he didn't notify Oh Chen, nor did he mobilize the people, only let Li Caiyuan and Tang Hua accompany him, three people in a car, light car and simple follow, just wanted to observe it closely.

There is nothing to see in the excellent community, Xia Xiang's original intention was to visit the No. 9 Mansion on the spot, and it really deserves its name at a glance.

There can be such a gathering place for high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Lang City, which is only an hour's drive away from Beijing and Tianjin, which is indeed very suitable for dignitaries from the two places to come and get together, which can not only be noticed locally, but also come and go freely conveniently.

Wang Qiangrose is a capable man who is well versed in psychology, and the success of Mansion Nine is not accidental, but a masterpiece after a shrewd business eye.

If it is completely from Wang Qiangrose's handwriting, she is indeed not an idle person.

The information provided by Liu Yilin is very precious, even if it is not exclusive, because Li Caiyuan and Tang Hualai don't know who the owner behind Mansion Nine is, so they think it is really Duncan.

The two of them have a surprisingly consistent evaluation of Wang Qiangrose: she is a very powerful woman and has a high reputation in Lang City, but they can't say what she does in Lang City and who she has a close relationship with.

And for Liu Yilin once mentioned that Wang Qiangrose became famous overnight in Lang City, Li Caiyuan and Tang Hualai were not clear at all, looking at the stunned expressions on their faces, as if they had never heard of such a thing - Xia wanted to understand a little, Liu Yilin did not lie, but Wang Qiangrose's overnight fame was only limited to a certain level.

With the level of Li Caiyuan and Tang Hualai, they are not qualified to know the inside story.

When it was almost noon, Xia Xiang was about to go back to the municipal party committee for dinner, when the phone rang, it was an unfamiliar number.

He thought that the boss of a certain company wanted to invite him to dinner, so he asked Li Caiyuan to answer the phone for him.

After Li Caiyuan said a few words, he covered the microphone and asked Xia Xiang for instructions: "Mayor Xia, the other party said that he was an old friend of your capital and wanted to invite you to dinner...... Zhao Xiaofeng appeared? Xia Xiang stretched out his hand to take the phone: "Mr. Zhao hasn't returned to Beijing yet?" Zhao Xiaofeng snorted: "If I don't see Mayor Xia again, where can I go back with peace of mind?" It just so happens that a friend wants to get to know you today, so if it's convenient, let's sit together at noon? Xia thought about it for a while, and felt that it was necessary to have a good talk with Zhao Xiaofeng, so he agreed: "Location? Zhao Xiaofeng saw that Xia Xiang agreed very happily, so he said happily: "I will send someone to the municipal party committee to pick you up." ”

"I'm not in the municipal party committee, you let the driver come to the excellent community."

Xia Xiang did not let Li Caiyuan and Tang Hua accompany them, and asked them to return to the municipal party committee with the driver Yang Bin.

Although Yang Bin is Xia Xiang's driver, Xia Xiang usually uses the bus when he goes out, because he didn't drive his car from Yan City, but basically avoids Yang Bin in everything, and Yang Bin also senses that Xia Xiang doesn't trust him very much.

On the way back, Yang Bin asked tentatively: "Who does Mayor Xia want to meet?" God mysterious. ”

Li Caiyuan glanced at Yang Bin lightly: "I don't know." ”

Not even a single explanation is missing.

Tang Hualai was also quite disgusted with Yang Bin, and he didn't have anything good to say: "Don't inquire about the leader's affairs."

You know, the leader won't carry you.

You shouldn't know, even if you hear and see it, you have to rot in your stomach, and if you can do it without saying it, you are a good driver. ”

Yang Bin muttered unconvinced: "I just asked, in exchange for complaining, the driver's job is really not good." ”

Li Caiyuan ignored Yang Bin and asked Tang Hualai directly: "Secretary-General, I have a relative who has just transferred from the army and has excellent driving skills. "It's not a big problem, it just depends on when the leader wants to change the driver."

Tang Hualai has been in contact with Li Caiyuan a lot recently, and he also knows more about Li Caiyuan, and he feels that he doesn't seem to be an unreliable person with life style problems.

asked and answered, obviously giving Yang Bin a good look.

Yang Bin immediately changed his appearance: "Two leaders, I just complain casually, don't let Mayor Xia replace me, I have been expelled once, and I was fired by Mayor Xia again, I can't even eat."

I'll go back and invite the two leaders to eat, drink and entertain, okay? Li Caiyuan and Tang Hualai glanced at each other and smiled.

When they arrived at the municipal party committee, Yang Bin went to park, and Li Caiyuan and Tang Hua came upstairs.

When he arrived upstairs, Tang Hualai came to Li Caiyuan's office on purpose, first sat down and said a few words of gossip, and then changed the topic: "Caiyuan, can you tell me about the life style that made a big fuss last time, what is the situation?" Tang Hualai intuitively thought that Xia Xiang was willing to reuse Li Caiyuan, and he didn't care about the punishment he had a life style problem before, it must have been Li Caiyuan who confessed to Xia Xiang, and he had never been clear about the truth of the matter, so he intended to ask for clarification.

Li Caiyuan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's not that I don't want to say it, it's Mayor Xia who said it, the time is not right, and when the time is ripe, I will definitely give you the end, okay?" Tang Hualai was not reluctant, and waved his hand: "Little things, I just asked casually, but I didn't mean to inquire about your **."

I just think that with your personality and style of doing things, it doesn't look like a person who has a front hand but no back hand.

And according to my observation, even if you make other people's bellies bigger, there must be a way to prevent women from making trouble......" Li Caiyuan smiled and changed the topic in time: "Yang Bin, this person, still hasn't grown, leaving him by Mayor Xia's side is a trouble after all, or let Mayor Xia replace him?" "The executive deputy mayor wants to change the driver, but it's just a matter of words.

Tang Hualai waved his hand: "Mayor Xia's intention is to keep Yang Bin by his side, maybe it will come in handy at some point." ”

While the two were talking, Yang Bin also took advantage of the time when they went to eat at noon, and quietly went upstairs, and looked around, lest others find him.

He went upstairs, but instead of going to Gu Xiangguo's office, he knocked lightly on the door of Tu Yun's office.

Tu Yun was startled when he opened the door and saw that it was Yang Bin: "Didn't you say that you wouldn't come to my office, what the hell is going on with you?" Yang Bin squeezed in through the crack in the door: "I have a situation to report, Tu ...... City...... Long. ”

He deliberately lengthened his voice.

Tu Yun's face changed: "Yang Bin, you ......" Yang Bin was not afraid of Tu Yun's change of face at all: "Didn't you ask me to monitor Xia Xiang's whereabouts?" He went to Mansion No. 9 today, watched outside for a long time, and then answered a phone call, as if someone invited him to dinner, I didn't hear who it was............ Yang Bin went to Tu Yun's office, Li Caiyuan and Tang Hualai were talking, but they didn't find that the municipal party committee building was empty, the dinner was gone, and the entertainment was gone, and no one found out, but coincidentally, after Lu Yike, who was coming down from upstairs, came down, he strode towards Xia Xiang's office, and when he happened to pass by Tu Yun's office, he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, his pace seemed to slow down, and then a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he came to Xia Xiang's office.

As soon as Lu saw that Xia Xiang was not there, he casually said a few words to Li Caiyuan and Tang Hualai, and then turned around and left.

…… Xia Xiang naturally didn't know what happened in the municipal party committee, he waited in place for a while, and the special car sent by Zhao Xiaofeng arrived, it was an elongated Lincoln car, and the license plate was a Beijing license plate.

More than half of the cars in Lang City have Beijing license plates, so it is impossible to tell where the cars are from the license plates.

Xia didn't bother to guess, sat in the back, and let the driver drive him to the agreed place - he didn't ask where to go.

I felt that the car drove smoothly for less than ten minutes, and after a circle around the excellent community, I felt that the terrain was significantly elevated, and it seemed to be crawling uphill.

After another five minutes, the car stopped, and Xia Xiang couldn't help but smile dumbly when he got out of the car, it turned out that he was already standing at the back door of Mansion No. 9.

The main entrance of Mansion Nine can drive into the car, but the back door does not allow the car to enter, after the driver drove the car away, the closed antique iron door opened, and Zhao Xiaofeng greeted him from the inside with a smile on his face.

Behind Zhao Xiaofeng, a quiet woman walked up.

The woman was dressed in plain clothes, not gray or white, and her face was facing the sky, her face was extremely clean, although she was in her 30s, but just looking at her face, the years did not leave any traces on her face.

She can't tell how beautiful she is, and with a slightly hooked nose and face shape, you can still conclude that she is a half-race.

But she is absolutely very attractive, not an ordinary beauty, nor can it be simply described as a second-sight beauty, in short, she is like a different rose, with the beauty of falling into the dust, but also has the meaning of drifting in the dust.

Xia Xiang only glanced at it and sighed in his heart, what a strange woman.

Needless to say, she is the real owner of Mansion No. 9 and the famous courtesan king Rose in Lang City.

Zhao Xiaofeng shook hands with Xia Xiang first, and after a few simple cold words, he introduced Wang Qiangrose to Xia Xiang: "Ms. Wang Meiru admires you very much, she has always wanted to know you but she can't find a way, just talking to me inadvertently, I will introduce you on my own initiative, Mayor Xia, won't you lose face?" To be honest, Zhao Xiaofeng was really nervous in his heart, for fear that Xia Xiang would really not give him face.

After all, he and Xia Xiang are not even friends, and they are still in the preliminary testing stage, so they boldly introduced Wang Qiangrose to Xia Xiang, and I don't know if Xia Xiang is willing to know her? Because of the last Changji business incident, Zhao Xiaofeng, who has always been high-minded, and Zhao Xiaofeng, who has always thought that Gao Xia wants to be first-class, unconsciously lowered his posture in front of Xia Xiang and interacted with Xia Xiang on an equal footing.

Moreover, when he came to Lang City this time, after some overt and covert investigation, he came to the conclusion that if he wanted to open up the situation in Lang City, cooperating with Xia Xiang was the best choice.

Xia Xiang took a step forward, and waited for Wang Qiangrose to stretch out her hand before gently shaking her hand - Wang Qiangrose's hand was soft, petite, and a little, frighteningly cold.

Wang Qiangrose spoke first, she smiled, her eyes narrowed together, but she couldn't say the joy: "Mayor Xia, hello, I have heard your name for a long time, and it is my honor to know you."

I had great admiration for you back when you were still in the dismount area.

I didn't expect you to come to Lang City to take office, I thought, if I missed such a good opportunity to get to know Mayor Xia, it would be too much of a failure.

So I was terrified, I don't know if the little girl has no talent and no virtue, can she get into the eyes of Mayor Xia? "Wang Qiangrose's Mandarin is correct and round, I remember Liu Yilin said that she came to Langshi from Jincheng earlier, and her accent does not have a little Jincheng dialect, Xia Xiang knows that there are not many people in Jincheng who can speak such standard Mandarin, which proves that Wang Qiangrose is not from Jincheng.

Wang Qiangrose spoke softly, which was very pleasant to the ear, which made people listen to it very useful.

Xia Xiang thought to himself, if a woman wants to become a courtesan who can be like a fish in water in the upper class, she does not have to be beautiful to work, she also needs to have excellent communication skills, and she must have extraordinary skills.

In addition, there must be a basic condition that the voice may not be as beautiful as the announcer, but it must be crisp and pleasant, otherwise a person who speaks very unpleasantly will not leave a good impression for the first time.

And many times, the opportunity is often only once.

Wang Qiangrose's success is also inseparable from her innate advantages.

Although Xia Xiang would not stare at Wang Qiangrose rudely, but when they met for the first time, coupled with the fact that he was really curious, he couldn't help but look at Wang Qiangrose a few more times.

Wang Qiangrose did not avoid Xia Xiang's gaze, and also boldly looked at Xia Xiang, her eyes were surprised, scrutinized, and curious.

Although she had heard of Xia Xiang for a long time, when she really met, she was still surprised by Xia Xiang's youth and handsomeness.

As a courtesan who circles between high-ranking officials and magnates, I have seen a lot of pot-bellied and fat-headed and big-eared people, and I also know that at the deputy department level, there are still mostly people around 40 years old, and all of them are middle-aged greedy men, handsome and young like Xia Xiang, and there is no dirty deputy department-level official, and she is also the executive deputy director of the powerful department, she is still the first time in her life.

With just one face, Wang Qiangrose rose with a strong conquest in her heart.

Women, like men, have a desire to conquer things that are difficult but not particularly difficult, especially those who are too high and have capital, and often take pleasure in climbing one mountain after another.

Xia Xiang is within Wang Qiangrose's line of sight, a brand new mountain.

Xia Xiang smiled: "In Lang City, there are two people who must be acquainted, one is Oh Chen, and the other is Wang Qiangrose.

I am also very happy to meet Mr. Wang today.

It is a deep honor to let Mr. Wang greet him personally. ”

Xia wanted to deliberately mention Chen's name, just to see Wang Qiangrose's reaction.

Wang Qiangrose just smiled slightly: "I can't compare with Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen is magnificent, I'm just a little talented little woman." ”

Talent? Xia Xiang was stunned for a moment, and faintly guessed Wang Qiangrose's hint, could it be that the design of Mansion No. 9 came from her handwriting? If this is the case, Wang Qiangrose is not only talented, but simply talented.

Xia Xiang wanted to continue the topic of who designed Mansion No. 9, but Wang Qiangrose changed the topic again: "Mayor Xia, you must want to know how I grabbed hundreds of acres ......of land from Oh Chen's hands, and then built Mansion No. 9" Xia Xiang didn't expect that as soon as Wang Qiangrose met, she would be so straightforward!
