He also felt strange, and he vaguely heard that it was Chen Feng's proposal. Chaodu said that Chen Feng and Cao Yongguo have no relationship, and they should not know each other, how could they suddenly propose to let him be his deputy, and he is also the executive deputy mayor. Chen Feng is Secretary Lu's descendant, if Chen Feng intends to let Cao Yongguo take the stage with him, Secretary Lu, who has always valued Chen Feng very much, will support Cao Yongguo, it will be reasonable. Li Dingshan pressed his forehead with a pensive look, "Chen Feng unexpectedly values Cao Yongguo, there must be a middleman in the middle, and I don't know who this key figure is?" ”

Xia Xiang also lowered his head and pondered, he didn't know, in fact, all these changes were all because he asked Cao Shumu to participate in the design of the LCD large-screen project, and at the same time triggered a series of chain reactions, causing Chen Feng to love the house and Wu, so he was interested in Cao Yongguoda. Therefore, he is the key figure in the middle.

Remembering that Gao Jianyuan's figure unexpectedly appeared in the LCD large-screen project, Xia Xiang had another guess in his heart, and said to Li Dingshan: "Secretary Li, when Shu Muru was designing the renderings, he vaguely heard that Gao Jianyuan, as a representative of the capital, occupied a certain share in the company. ”

Li Dingshan's surprise was unabashedly written on his face: "Gao Jianyuan? Gao Chengsong's son? Really? ”

Xia Xiang nodded heavily: "I'm also surprised, but she didn't know that Gao Jianyuan was Gao Chengsong's son, but she overheard someone say something and just wrote it down." I guess I can't go wrong. ”

Li Dingshan stood up, bypassed the desk, and sat opposite Xia Xiang: "Things are getting more and more complicated, Gao Jianyuan actually interfered in the company's affairs, even if Gao Chengsong forgot about me, the secretary of the county party committee, because Gao Jianyuan intervened in the company's operation, sooner or later he would mention me from Wen Yang's mouth, Gao Chengsong would be ......difficult not to hear my name Li Dingshan" He smiled, and said disapprerovingly, "You can't hide for a while, don't believe that Gao Chengsong is still so narrow-minded that he refuses to let me go of a small county party secretary?" ”

The situation in Yan City can really be described as turbulent, the changes are too fast, so that Xia Xiang is dizzy, and he has no time to find useful clues from it. He knew that his biggest shortcoming was that he got too little news from the top, and he didn't know if Li Dingshan had inquired about Qian Jinsong from Song Chaodu's mouth.

He asked the question to Li Dingshan, and Li Dingshan shook his head: "Chaodu didn't say it, he just said that it wasn't very clear now, and he would talk about it when he had news." However, it is said that Secretary-General Qian is a very low-key person, never takes a position on major issues, and is basically a centrist figure. ”

As a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Qian Jinsong will inevitably slowly cultivate his own power in order to gain a firm foothold in Yan Province. However, Xia Xiang always felt that Song Chaodu should know some inside information, but he did not reveal it to Li Dingshan.

At noon, Li Dingshan put down the shelf of the county party secretary and asked Xia Xiang to invite Cao Shumu to dinner together. Somehow, Mi Xuan didn't participate, only Li Dingshan, Xia Xiang and Cao Shumu. Cao Shumu's grandfather used to be the district head, and now her father is the director of the bureau, and there are usually more officials at the department and department level.

Li Dingshan looked at Xia Xiang with a smile, then at Cao Shumu, and then patted Xia Xiang on the shoulder: "Xiao Xia, it's very good, a very good female classmate, don't bully others." Then he said to Cao Shumu, "Shumu, Xia wants to bully you, tell Uncle Li, and let Uncle Li criticize him." ”

Li Dingshan's smile was rich in meaning, and Xia Xiang didn't say much: "Secretary Li, you are a little biased, and you will be biased towards Shumu as soon as you meet, I have an opinion." "Cao Shumu can call Li Dingshan his uncle, Xia Xiang has to abide by his duty and can't mess with his name.

"If you have an opinion, keep it, who let Shu Mucuna be a girl, you can't be generous?" Li Dingshan was in a very good mood, and when he looked at Cao Shumu, there was a little more love in his eyes.

Cao Shumu pulled out a chair and asked Li Dingshan to sit down: "Xia wants to be careful, do you have an opinion about Uncle Li's bias towards me?" Hmph, I'll talk to Uncle Li alone later, ignore you, see what you do? ”

Li Dingshan sat down calmly, Xia Xiang was on the left, Cao Shumu was on the right, sat down separately, and he ordered a few dishes at random: "I'm here, you young people must not be thinking about eating, just eat a little casually, don't be picky." What do you want to eat, and let Xia Xiang accompany you well when you have time in the future. Uncle met with you today, just to ask you to bring a good picture for me to your father, although I am not familiar with Director Cao, but with the relationship between you and Xia Xiang, and Director Cao is very knowledgeable, and he is a scholar-type leader I admire, so I still have to ask him for advice in person if I have the opportunity. ”

Li Dingshan could see Cao Shumu's dependence on Xia Xiang, a look and a movement between the two of them were very tacit, as a person who came over, of course he knew Cao Shumu's affection for Xia Xiang, otherwise she would not have come thousands of miles to visit Xia Xiang, and he would no longer have many scruples. Since Cao Shumu did not call him Secretary Li, but directly called Uncle Li, it can be seen that she is also a very smart little girl, a child born in a high-ranking official's family, knows the rules, knows what to call when to call him, and calls him uncle, indicating an attitude, he also gave Cao Shumu enough face, and directly said the idea of wanting to get to know Cao Yongguo.

Division-level cadres want to get acquainted with department-level cadres, which can be regarded as a high climb, not a loss of position, Li Dingshan said very calmly. Cao Shumu handed the menu to the waiter and asked her to arrange the serving, she personally helped Li Dingshan set up the tableware, and then said to Xia Xiang: "You set it yourself, I don't care about you." ”

Xia wanted to know that his role as a bridge was completed, and now he could be a spectator on the sidelines, so he giggled.

"Actually, my dad usually likes to dance and ink, but the level is limited, and he often complains that he has no cells, this time I can go back and sell him well, and introduce him to a big reporter, he will definitely praise me, maybe there will be a reward!" Cao Shumu poured water for Li Dingshan very obediently, and pretended to be reluctant to pour a cup for Xia Xiang, and finally poured it for himself, and then sat down, "Uncle Li, we can say okay, if we have time to go back to Yan City, we must let Xia Xiang take you to our house, I think you and my dad will definitely be able to talk." ”

Li Dingshan drank tea, the more he looked at Cao Shumu, the more he loved it, he had also seen many daughters of high-ranking officials, some were as arrogant as princesses, some were so arrogant that they were difficult to touch, and few were as cute as Cao Shumu and did not deliberately manipulate their identity, their words and demeanors were very natural, and they made him full of joy in a few words.

not only gave him face, but also praised him for his talent, and said as if she was asking him to get to know Director Cao, she quietly lifted him, she was really a smart girl.

Li Dingshan cast an approving glance at Xia Xiang, thinking that Xia Xiang was really his lucky general, not only giving him advice, but also secretly finding a director's daughter as a girlfriend, no, maybe he will soon be the mayor's daughter, this young man may not have any surprises hidden in him, and he is also a rare talent.

Li Dingshan was relieved.

Xia Xiang just smiled implicitly, the conversation between Li Dingshan and Cao Shumu made him very pleased, he had already learned Cao Shumu's wit, and he saw it again today, and secretly praised her for her cleverness. He also knew that after this incident, he would be a little heavier in Li Dingshan's mind.

Li Dingshan was happy, so he gave Xia Xiang a vacation and asked him to accompany Cao Shumu as a job to complete it seriously. Li Dingshan is right, Cao Shumu is a girl, Xia wants to accompany her as if she is not doing the right thing, in fact, as a leading secretary, accompanying the director of the bureau is also a political task, not to mention, in case Cao Yongguo really wants to become the executive vice mayor of Yan City, compared to the director of the urban construction bureau, the power is much greater, and with the title of the Standing Committee, it is actually a big step. Cao Shumu was the mayor's daughter at the time, and it was also an important bridge for Li Dingshan to make friends with Cao Yongguo.

Xia Xiang proposed to go to the grassland in the afternoon, Cao Shumu naturally had no opinion, and Mi Xuan also appeared in time and wanted to go with them. Xia Xiang guessed that Mi Xuan was actually deliberately avoiding Li Dingshan, and was unwilling to contact Li Dingshan as Wang Quan's daughter to avoid unnecessary trouble. Xia Xiang can understand Mi Xuan's mentality, so he pretends not to know.

Xia Xiang proposed to go to Huahaiyuan for a trip to Cao Shumu and Mi Xuan's unanimous approval, Mi Xuan acted in a hurry, as soon as he said that he was going to drive, he left, and when he arrived in Jiazhai Township, Xia wanted to find the Yellow Sea, and after the Yellow Sea led the horse out, he realized that he was facing an embarrassing problem, Cao Shumu and Mi Xuan were wearing skirts and couldn't ride a horse.

Seeing Cao Shumu's embarrassed face, Mi Xuan smiled happily, she got into the car, and when she came out after a while, she changed into jeans, it turned out that she had already prepared.

Cao Shumu's brows furrowed slightly: "If I don't go, even if Sister Xuan lends me a pair of pants, I won't be able to ride a horse." ”

"My horses are very obedient, not fierce at all, very honest, little girl, don't be afraid, I can help you lead the horse, it must be fine." Huang Hai was afraid that the business would be yellow, so he hurriedly said flatteringly.

Cao Shumu timidly looked at the horse that was not much shorter than her, glanced at Xia Xiang, and shook his head.

"Mucuna girl, I have a way to ......" Mi Xuan smiled evilly, grabbed the reins and turned over very neatly, "You don't have to change your pants, and I didn't bring any extra ones." You just sit sideways on the horse, sit in front of Xia Xiang, let him guard you, romantic, and safe, how about it, okay? Thank you not yet. ”

Although Cao Shumu was shy, she still couldn't help but think about fun, and finally sat in front of Xia Xiang with a red face, her left shoulder tightly pressed against his chest, her ass next to his right leg, and she felt a wave of elasticity and heat invade, making her panic for no reason, and she didn't dare to look at Xia Xiang. Xia wanted to be afraid that she would fall, holding the reins with his left hand, holding her small waist with his right hand, and blowing in her ear: "Don't be ashamed, just treat me as your brother." It's only right for an older brother to protect his sister, isn't it? ”

Cao Shumu's body swayed back and forth with the horse's movement, and he was so frightened that he grabbed Xia Xiang's arm tightly with both hands: "Don't get bad, don't throw me down, okay?" "The witty little girl is gone, and she is completely like a little sheep to be slaughtered.

Xia Xiang couldn't help but be amused: "What did the Mucuna girl say, how could I throw you down?" Am I that bad? ”

"You have it, you have it." Cao Shumu deliberately spoke loudly, as if the louder the voice, the more she could alleviate her fear, "Besides, I'm so white, you're so dark, who wants you to be a brother?" I'm afraid you'll blacken me. ”

Huang Hai rode a horse to open the way in front, Mi Xuan followed, Xia Xiang and Cao Shumu rode together, because she was timid, she didn't dare to go fast, so she believed in the reins of the horse and moved forward slowly, already a lot behind the two people in front. Anyone who can ride a horse knows that the horse actually runs smoothly, and when he walks slowly, he shakes so badly that Cao Shumu's body hits Xia Xiang's chest again and again, allowing him to fully understand what it means to be like a deer.

Cao Shumu is not low, and she sits with Xia Xiang, almost to his eyes, just enough for him to see the fine fluff on her neck, her ears that are almost transparent when the sun shines, and her collarbones with an extremely strong sense of surname. Many women have beautiful necks, but their collarbones are often timid, which will spoil the scenery, but Cao Shumu is not, her shoulders are thin, and her collarbones are deeply sunken, which is very attractive.

Xia Xiang's arm was grabbed by Cao Shumu, and he knew that she was really afraid of riding a horse, so he thought of diverting her attention: "Horses are docile animals, they are good friends of humans, they won't hurt people, don't be afraid." Besides, you don't have to be so nervous, the last time you were upstairs in Jiajia Supermarket, when you hugged me, I didn't see you a little nervous, let alone blush, why is it so abnormal today? ”

"Who hugged you? It's all nonsense. Cao Shumu stopped, turned his face, and pretended to be fierce and said, "Obviously you hugged me, I sacrificed my life to save me, you are good, you don't remember my goodness, but blame good people, what an ungrateful puppy." ”

"No, I remember that you took the initiative to give you a hug at the time, why did it become me to hug you again? Besides, even if I took the initiative to hug you, but then I was hugged tightly by you, and I almost didn't strangle me, I didn't expect you to have a lot of strength, I guess I can't beat you in a fight......" Xia Xiang continued to mess around.

"You still say?" Cao Shumu's little face turned red, as if all the red flowers around him flew to his face, "Don't say it again, or I'll push you down, drop your ass, and cry you!" Stinky Xia thought, dead villain, thick-skinned people who speak ill of people! ”

“……”

Xia wanted to laugh, and when he saw that Cao Shumu was slowly relaxing and no longer so afraid of riding, he stopped teasing her, and led the topic to Cao Yongguo's recent movements.

Hearing the amazing news that Xia Xiang got, Cao Shumu was also extremely surprised: "Dad didn't reveal that he was going to be the deputy mayor at all, where did you hear about it, don't it be fake news spread by people with ulterior motives, right?" ”

Xia Xiang shook his head and denied Cao Shumu's speculation: "No, it's the news I got directly from the provincial party committee." The key is not the truth of the news, but I heard that Mayor Chen Feng took the initiative to make your father the deputy mayor of Yan City, and there is no contact between Mayor Chen and your father, right? ”

"My dad doesn't know Mayor Chen, and I've never heard him say that he has anything to do with Mayor Chen, so it's really strange why Mayor Chen took the initiative to name my dad to be his deputy." Cao Shumu looked ahead thoughtfully, stunned for a moment, and suddenly said, "Oops, I forgot to tell you that I saw Mayor Chen in the railway station square. ”

From Cao Shumu's words, Xia Xiang guessed the approximate situation, and suddenly understood that the important reason why Chen Feng first inspected from the leisure square to the railway station square was that he encountered huge resistance in the transformation of the urban village.

The contradiction between Chen Feng and Gao Chengsong is inevitable, even if Chen Feng will take a few steps back, but Xia wants to know that Nanfang Yijian's appetite is too great, and he wants to annex the entire Yan City and even the construction market of Yan Province.

If Cao Yongguo can become a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Executive Deputy Mayor of Yan City, it will be regarded as a crucial step in his political life. If you go well, it will be possible to step into the ranks of provincial and ministerial-level senior officials in the future, but judging from Chen Feng's intentions, after Cao Yongguo serves as deputy mayor, he will definitely be in charge of Chengjiankou, and he will inevitably meet Gao Chengsong head-on. Cao Yongguo is also a straightforward person, otherwise he would not have been squeezed out of the Surveying and Mapping Bureau by Gao Chengsong in later generations. Now that his fate has changed, as the deputy mayor, there is a conflict between Nanfang Yijian and Gao Chengsong, I am afraid that in the end, he and Chen Feng will end up in the same fate, which is not optimistic.

However, as long as the province reaches a compromise, once the appointment is issued, it cannot be changed by manpower, and for Cao Yongguo, this is also a very rare opportunity, and it must not be missed. Xia Xiang thought worriedly, he had been waiting for Gao Jianyuan to surface, waiting for an opportunity to contact Gao Jianyuan, and wanted to use Gao Jianyuan to secretly influence Gao Chengsong to realize his plan, at the moment, it seems that Cao Yongguo is really going to become the deputy mayor of Yan City, and his fate will be tied to Chen Feng, that is to say, in case there is a contradiction between Cao Yongguo and Gao Chengsong, he will definitely not be able to stand idly by.

Although Cao Yongguo's fate changed because of Chen Feng, in the final analysis, it was because of his appearance, which indirectly led to Chen Feng's attention to Cao Yongguo, Xia Xiang looked at Cao Shumu who was close at hand, and remembered that Cao Yongguo put down the respect of the director and asked him about staying in Yan City, and secretly made up his mind, whether it was for Director Cao's career or Cao Shumu's happiness, he would definitely find a way to deal with Gao Chengsong to the end.

It's just that his original plan had to be changed slightly.
