Regarding the visit of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Minister to Lang City, Ai Chengwen and Gu Xiangguo have different views.

Because of his close relationship with the Qiu family, Ai Chengwen has long heard of the relationship between Xia Xiang and Mei Shengping, and he also knows that although Mei Shengping is the head of the organization, he has always liked to do things unexpectedly.

However, Gu Xiangguo held a different view, thinking that Xia Xiang wanted to take advantage of the authority of the organization minister of the provincial party committee, and deliberately asked Mei Shengping to help him, and came to show off his power to Lang City.

Ai Chengwen and Gu Xiangguo exchanged views, Gu Xiangguo disagreed with Ai Chengwen's understatement, and Ai Chengwen did not agree with Gu Xiangguo's approach to going online. The two did not reach a consensus, so they did not discuss further.

After waiting for a long time today, and no one came, Gu Xiangguo became more and more angry, and when he saw Ai Chengwen's face, he knew that there was another accident, and hurriedly asked: "What's wrong, Secretary Ai?" ”

As soon as Ai Chengwen said the news he had just gotten, Gu Xiangguo immediately said with an unhappy face: "It's too much, I don't understand the rules at all, it's messy!" ”

……

Xia Xiang and Mei Shengping actually got up early, and he and Mei Shengping stayed at the Dutian Hotel - it is said that it is also the property of Oh Ni Chen - and after breakfast, he and Mei Shengping took a leisurely walk in the hotel's garden, exercising by the way.

The hotel is not far from the municipal party committee, which is a five-minute drive, not in a hurry. The main thing is to wait for the relevant personnel of Yan City to arrive, and then go to the Lang City Municipal Party Committee to go through the procedures.

Xia Xiang also knew that the news that he and Mei Shengping came to Lang City a day earlier would definitely not be able to hide from Ai Chengwen and Gu Xiangguo, but if they knew it, no one would ask each other, even if everyone knew some things, they would not say it, and pretending not to know in officialdom was also a basic skill.

As for what Ai Chengwen and Gu Xiangguo think, he can't care so much. It was a shocking thing for Mei Shengping to personally send him to take office, he came to Lang City a day in advance and lived in secret, although there were a lot of things to talk about, Xia Xiang also knew that he couldn't block the mouth of the people, so he didn't bother to think about it anymore.

The matter has come to this point, it is useless to think too much, it is better to face it calmly. Anyway, Lang City is from the municipal party committee to the head of the underground organization, and then there is the junction of the three places, which itself is a place that cannot be measured by common sense.

Xia Xiang and Mei Shengping were the entourage of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, as well as the accompanying personnel of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, and there were about two special cars. At 8 o'clock, Mei Shengping's secretary called and said that he was going to come out, but at 8:3o, he said that there was an accident and he needed to wait for someone from the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee.

As a result, it took more than half an hour to wait, and it was more than 9 o'clock before it was said to be high. Mei Shengping was not in a hurry, and told them to drive slowly, and when he put down the phone, he told Xia Xiang: "Let Ai Chengwen wait a little longer, and then you should exercise your body." ”

Xia Xiang was speechless, Mei Shengping could put on a score, but he couldn't, but it was not good to say anything, Mei Shengping was the head of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee after all!

At 11:2o, Xia Xiang's phone rang, and after answering, he only listened for a moment, and then said helplessly: "Since it's almost here, I can only express a warm welcome." ”

Xia Xiang received a call from Qiu Xufeng, and from Qiu Xufeng's call, he knew why he was delayed a lot of time on the road, because Qiu Xufeng temporarily decided to come to Lang City!

Qiu Xufeng came in the name of a business trip, which obviously had nothing to do with his appointment, but the timing was so coincidental that he deliberately accompanied him with people from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, which was very intriguing.

Mei Shengping was stunned for a moment when he heard that Qiu Xufeng was also coming, and suddenly laughed and scolded: "How can this be?" It's nonsense! ”

At 12 o'clock, the Organization Minister of the Provincial Party Committee and the Organization Minister of the Yan Municipal Party Committee and the Organization Minister of the Yan Municipal Party Committee and a group of three special cars officially arrived at the Lang Municipal Party Committee. In front of the road was the car of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, and behind the special car, there was a special car of Mei Shengping and Xia Xiang.

Originally, Xia Xiangxiang sat in the car of the entourage of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, but Mei Shengping refused to let him, which shattered Xia Xiang's dream of taking office in a low-key manner.

When Xia Xiang and Mei Shengping got out of the car, Ai Chengwen and Gu Xiangguo glanced at each other, and the two of them had all kinds of feelings in their hearts, and then saw Qiu Xufeng, the head of the Organization Department of the Yan Municipal Party Committee, also get out of the car in front of them, Ai Chengwen even had a wry smile on his face - how can this be? It's nonsense!

Today is the second time he has reluctantly made such an exclamation.

The moment Gu Xiangguo saw Qiu Xufeng before Xia Xiang and Mei Shengping in front of him, his face was a little bad. When he saw Xia Xiang coming over with a smile on his face, his face sank, and a trace of intense unhappiness and loss flashed in his eyes. But it was also a flash, and then a warm smile appeared on his face.

Gu Xiangguo's yin and sunny days were all in view of Liu Yilin beside him.

After Xia Xiang got out of the car, he first said hello to Qiu Xufeng, Qiu Xufeng knew that there were many people, so he couldn't say more, so he just nodded, so he took the first step in front of Ai Chengwen, and said politely: "Secretary Ai, I'm sorry to make trouble for you, I knew that Xia wanted to come over today, so I wouldn't join in the excitement......"

Ai Chengwen's smile was very warm and warm: "Welcome, welcome Minister Qiu to Lang City to inspect the work." As soon as the words came out, I realized that it was wrong, I should welcome Minister Mei first, Minister Mei is the main master, yes, let Qiu Xufeng mess up, and actually mess up the order, it's really a big mistake.

Qiu Xufeng didn't seem to realize that the order was wrong, and he was still saying: "But since I happened to meet Xia Xiang to take up his new position, Xia Xiang and I also know each other, so I will accompany him through the procedure." After speaking, he didn't care whether others agreed or not, so he flashed to the side and waited for Mei Shengping and Xia Xiang to approach.

Mei Shengping was very dissatisfied with Qiu Xufeng's noisy behavior just now, he knew that Qiu Xufeng was not a mistake, let alone unaware of the order problem, but deliberately intervened, what was the intention He didn't want to bother to think about it, anyway, he knew what the relationship between Qiu Xufeng and Ai Chengwen was, Qiu Xufeng was not good.

It's just that now is not the time to worry about Qiu Xufeng, Mei Shengping stepped forward and took the initiative to reach out and shake hands with Ai Chengwen: "Secretary Ai has been waiting for a long time, and there is a traffic jam on the road......

"Minister Mei has worked hard." Ai Chengwen was full of smiles on his face, and his heart was very painful, traffic jams are a trivial matter, and blocking hearts is a big thing, and the organization minister of the provincial party committee and the organization minister of Yan City came at once, how to receive them is still a problem, and it seems that the organization ministers at the two levels have not reached a tacit understanding -- it was originally a normal reception procedure, but now it is indecent, and it is impossible to figure out what is going on, but it is really a good show.

Subsequently, Mei Shengping personally introduced Xia Xiang to the Lang Municipal Party Committee.

The organization minister of the provincial party committee personally introduced that there was a sense that the provincial party committee entrusted Xia Xiang to the Lang Municipal Party Committee. Ai Chengwen's mind flashed, could it be that Mei Shengping came this time, not only to make a high-profile trip for Xia, but also to secretly warn the Lang Municipal Party Committee on behalf of the Provincial Party Committee? Does I want to remind the Lang Municipal Party Committee that no matter how high the vision of Lang City is, the evaluation and promotion of cadres in Lang City are also in the hands of the Organization Minister of the Provincial Party Committee, or rather, it is still impossible to get out of the scope of Yan Province?

Qiu Xufeng's sudden killing also made Ai Chengwen puzzled. There is quite a lot of contact between him and Qiu Xufeng, but today Qiu Xufeng temporarily decided to come to Lang City without notifying him in advance!

It's just that an executive vice mayor took office, not only accompanied by the organization minister of the provincial party committee, but also accompanied by the organization minister of the municipal party committee. Thinking of the reliable news received last night, Xia Xiang and Liu Yilin had a secret meeting, Ai Chengwen felt very uncomfortable, and then looked at Xia Xiang's handsome and young face, and intuitively felt that under Xia Xiang's humble and slightly respectful smile, there was an unfathomable sense of ingenuity.

So when Xia Xiang came to him, when he shook hands with Xia Xiang cordially, he said warmly and politely: "Welcome Comrade Xia Xiang to work in Lang City, I believe that the vast world of Lang City has a stage for you to display your talents." The people of Lang City are very enthusiastic, and the team of the Lang City Party Committee is very united. ”

Xia wanted to know that the focus fell on the latter sentence -- the statement that it is very united can be interpreted in many ways, which can be understood as Lang City is united and listens to the words of the provincial party committee, and it can also be understood that the Lang City Municipal Party Committee is very united with the outside world.

Xia Xiang smiled: "It is my honor to work under the leadership of Secretary Ai. If there are any deficiencies in the work in the future, Secretary Ai will correct and criticize them. ”

This year's 43-year-old Ai Chengwen is very rich, not tall, but his weight is 9o kilograms, although it is not a fat image, but it is also the fattest one among the officials Xia Xiang has ever seen.

Standing behind Ai Chengwen is Gu Xiangguo, the 41-year-old Gu Xiangguo can even be described as Yushu Linfeng compared with Ai Chengwen.

Gu Xiangguo is young, his face is angular, and he has the style of a famous actor, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a killer. However, perhaps because he has been an official for many years, when he looks at people with a pair of eyes, he often squints, intentionally or unintentionally, as if he wants to focus on the other party, which is actually an expression of intense psychological activity.

Xia Xiang didn't take a psychology class, but it happened that when he was following Zou Lao's class, he heard Zou Lao talk about some psychology knowledge.

Compared with Ai Chengwen's first impression of Xia Xiang's slick and bureaucratic nature, Gu Xiangguo's first impression of Xia Xiang was that he was scheming and changeable.

Gu Xiangguo shook hands with Xia Xiang, and said in a slightly condescending tone: "Welcome Comrade Xia Xiang, Lang City needs a young and promising cadre like you, and you can enrich the government team and share a lot of pressure for me...... It can also bring new vitality to Lang City. You led the Xiama District out of a broad road and came to Lang City, don't do your best for Lang City. ”

Gu Xiangguo's words didn't have much novelty, but the "young and promising" he deliberately emphasized had another meaning in Xia Xiang's ears. Yes, if he doesn't come, after the Lang Municipal Party Committee, the youngest department-level cadre is still Gu Xiangguo. After he came, he replaced Gu Xiangguo as the youngest department-level cadre in Lang City, although he was only at the deputy department level, but at least he was only one step away from Gu Xiangguo.

He is one level lower than Gu Xiangguo, but he is 12 years younger, and according to the normal promotion level, he will be able to enter the threshold of the main hall in two years. Two years later, he was only 31 years old, and if he made such a comparison, Gu Xiangguo felt lost in his heart, which is understandable.

After meeting the main party and government leaders of Lang City in turn, Mei Shengping, Qiu Xufeng, and Xia Xiang were welcomed into the meeting room of the municipal party committee. Subsequently, Mei Shengping announced the appointment of the provincial party committee: "Comrade Xia Xiang is appointed as a member of the Lang Municipal Party Committee and a member of the Standing Committee, and a candidate for deputy mayor...... Comrade Xia Xiang has outstanding work ability, high political quality, is in the prime of life, full of energy, and has a high degree of recognition among the masses. The provincial party committee held that the decision to Comrade Xia Xiang to come to work in Lang City was in line with the political needs of Lang City. ”

Soon after the completion of the compound of the Lang Municipal Party Committee, it was re-expanded on the old site after Ai Chengwen took office, which not only increased the area a lot, but also added a lot of modern facilities, which was still much more beautiful than the Yan Municipal Party Committee.

The equipment in the conference room is also very advanced, which is better than the dismount area. Xiama District is a newly established district, and because of the transfer of land, it is relatively wealthy, but when it comes to purchasing office facilities, Xia Xiang does not have the luxury of the Lang Municipal Party Committee.

Xia Xiang is a person who knows the goods, whether it is office furniture, or supporting audio, and even projectors, LCD screens, all of which are well-known brands, which are worth a lot of money, and the decoration style is also quite high-end, which is significantly higher than Yan City.

He knew in his heart that Lang City not only kept an eye on the capital, but also kept up with the pace of the capital, so as to show the difference between the level of Yan Province.

I am afraid that in the hearts of Ai Chengwen and Gu Xiangguo, I hope that after the Greater Beijing Economic Circle is put on the agenda, the capital will again mention the matter of being assigned to Lang City. At that time, if Lang City can become a new area of the capital as it wishes, not only Lang City can obtain a large amount of investment and resources from the capital, but also as the frontier of the junction of the capital and Yan Province, with many unique convenient conditions, Lang City can be backed by the big trees of the capital, circling between Yan Province and Jincheng, left and right.

Regarding the current situation of Lang City, Xia Xiang also has some thoughts in his heart, standing in the position of Lang City, after being assigned to the capital, the interests are indeed much greater than now. Now Lang City is a little estranged in the minds of the Provincial Party Committee, and has been worried that one day it will not be able to withstand the pressure and be asked to leave by the capital, so many major investment projects will not fall on the head of Lang City.

And the capital is also out of the same scruples, there are many good projects to get Lang City, including Jincheng There are also many projects that can be invested in Lang City, but the capital is afraid of causing a rebound in Yan Province, and it is easy not to invest.

Jincheng is even more worried that the positioning of Lang City is not clear, if Lang City is Lang City of Yan Province, it is good to say, there are advantages in land prices and cheap labor, in case it is assigned to the capital, the land will definitely soar, and the labor force will be implemented according to the minimum standard of the Beijing's policy, which is a lot higher than that of Yan Province.

To put it bluntly, although Lang City is dedicated to the capital, in addition to the political response, the capital really does not take much care of the economy. Then Jincheng did not dare to invest, Yan Province and selectively ignored, although Lang City is strategically located, but basically became a three-regardless zone.

The benefits of Lang City being assigned to the capital, Xia Xiang was reluctant to think deeply, he knew very well that when he was reborn, Lang City was still Lang City in Yan Province, and according to the situation at that time, the possibility of Lang City being transferred to the capital was getting smaller and smaller. Although there is also a bus from Lang City to the capital, with a total length of more than 8o kilometers and a fare of 11 yuan, Lang City has laid the role of a bridgehead in Yan Province, and the proposal to be assigned to the capital has never been mentioned.

But at this stage, if it is incorporated into the capital, it will at least double the land and housing prices in Lang City! In this way, Ai Chengwen and Gu Xiangguo can get a political achievement at their fingertips, and the appreciation of land and housing prices can increase GDP by at least a few percentage points.

Of course, there are more political benefits, not to mention, but if Yan Province does not let go of Lang City, Lang City is destined to not be able to get out of the control of the Provincial Party Committee. Therefore, the most realistic idea of Xia Xiang is that the exhibition in Lang City should be down-to-earth.

As for how to be better down-to-earth and no longer ambitious, it is estimated that there will be huge differences between him, Ai Chengwen and Gu Xiangguo.

The process of the meeting was lackluster, but every step of the process had to be followed. After the meeting, the Langshi Municipal Party Committee held a welcome banquet as usual, and invited Mei Shengping and Qiu Xufeng, which could be regarded as Xia Xiang's welcome banquet.

As the incoming member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Executive Deputy Mayor, Xia Xiang ranks relatively high among the Municipal Party Committee, and he is also one of the figures who hold real power, which should not be underestimated.

Of course, Mei Shengping's face is the greatest, as the head of the provincial party committee organization who has the right to directly assess and evaluate the first and second leaders in various cities, even if Ai Chengwen and Gu Xiangguo rely on the backstage of the capital, they must give Mei Shengping enough face. Otherwise, Mei Shengping would be unhappy, and if they had to be stuck in Yan Province, they would only bow their heads.

I have also heard that Mei Shengping sometimes does not even sell the face of the provincial party secretary, Ai Chengwen and Gu Xiangguo, know very well that with Mei Shengping's strength, even if they can't do anything with them, it is not a problem to get them stuck in Yan Province during their term of office.

The welcome banquet was lively and warm, and it achieved the effect that everyone expected. The officialdom was originally carried by everyone, and no one would lose face on the scene. If you give face to others, others will give you face.

However, Xia Xiang had the biggest face at the banquet, and many people took turns to toast Xia Xiang, after all, he was the number two person in the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the government team, and he was in power, so it was a good thing to get to know him first. If there is someone who can alarm the organization minister of the provincial party committee and the organization minister of the municipal party committee, if he has no background and no background, no one will believe him if he is killed.

However, many people are still surprised by Xia Xiang's youth, it is clear that he is still a young man who doesn't even have a long beard, how can he be the executive deputy mayor? Many members of the Standing Committee who have been mixed up all their lives to get into the deputy hall, compared to Xia's age of less than 3o years old, only to know that they had really lived in vain before.

In the afternoon, Mei Shengping and Ai Chengwen had a routine conversation before leaving Lang City. Before leaving, Ai Chengwen, Gu Xiangguo and a member of the Standing Committee of Lang City all came out to see them off. I thought that things were finally completed smoothly, but when I didn't want to see them off, there was a little accident!
