Lian Ruohan had been gone for a long time, Xia Xiang still felt a little embarrassed, Lian Ruohan actually ignored him directly and did not answer Cao Shumu's question! Fortunately, they were talking outside, and Zheng Qian and Wang Guanqing were not heard. Even so, Xia Xiang still felt a little faceless, but Cao Shumu didn't mean to make fun of him at all, and comforted him and said: "Sister Lian is cold and hot-hearted, and it takes a process to make her accept you." ”

Zheng Qian and Wang Guanqing went downstairs in different ways, and personally came downstairs to see off Xia Xiang and Cao Shumu. Wang Guanqing came out to see Zheng Qian's face, because Secretary Zheng opened his mouth, and he had no qualifications to refuse. On the one hand, Zheng Qian is grateful to Xia Xiang for relieving him, and on the other hand, he is also secretly guessing the relationship between Xia Xiang and Lian Ruohan, even if Xia Xiang and Lian Ruohan are not very familiar, but his girlfriend and Lian Ruohan seem to have the possibility of becoming good friends, this is a great opportunity not to be missed, as long as he has a good relationship with Xia Xiang, because of Cao Shumu, he doesn't have to worry that Lian Ruohan will come to the door again one day. Zheng Qian was a big headache for Lian Ruohan's perverse style, and I don't know if she really forgave Zheng Tao.

At the same time, what reassured him was that Xia Xiang didn't say that there was on-site evidence to prove Zheng Tao's innocence? It is necessary to be prepared with two hands, one is to have a good relationship with Xia Xiang, indirectly give Lian Ruohan a good impression, and prevent her from making trouble with Zheng Tao again. On the other hand, if Lian Ruohan turns his face and has Xia Xiang's evidence in hand, at least in the face of Secretary Shen's anger, he can have an excuse to put the blame on Wang Ming.

Thinking of Wang Ming, Zheng Qian glanced back at Wang Guanqing, saw that his face was gloomy and unhappy, and he thought to himself that if it wasn't for you conniving at your unsuccessful nephew to do evil, how could there be today's incident? Wang Ming was to blame, but Zheng Tao was implicated.

Although Wang Guanqing couldn't completely guess Zheng Qian's thoughts, he somewhat understood that Zheng Qian had a big opinion of him. But in order not to offend Lian Ruohan too much, in order to reassure Secretary Shen, it is not possible not to bring out Zheng Qian, after all, his position as deputy secretary is more convincing than his director of public security. He also knew what happened to Zheng Tao just now, it must have been Xia Xiang's idea, and he couldn't figure it out, when did Zheng Qian and Xia Xiang get so close? In this way, doesn't it mean that Zheng Qian is determined to fight on the same front with Li Dingshan?

What worries him even more is that the little girlfriend Xia Xiang brought looks like a college student, so simple that she can't do it, but she got closer to Lian Ruohan in just a few words. He didn't know who even Ruohan was, and he didn't care much about Cao Shumu's background, he just knew that as long as Lian Ruohan was angry, Secretary Shen would be angry. As soon as Secretary Shen gets angry, he will suffer!

Secretary Zheng insisted on sending Xia Xiang downstairs, Wang Guanqing had no choice but to follow, but in his heart he slandered Zheng Qian's self-deprecating identity, and the deputy secretary of the county party committee wanted to send it to the secretary of the county party committee.

When he arrived downstairs, Zheng Qian wanted to send a few more steps, but was stopped by Xia Xiang with a little respect, Xia wanted to know that Zheng Qian couldn't rest assured of the evidence in his hand, so he took out the bottom couplet from his body: "Secretary Zheng, when I was fighting at the scene, I happened to have a camera at hand, so I filmed the whole process." Because I was worried that the color printing technology in Ba County was not up to standard, I sent it back to a friend of Yan City, Yan Province Evening News, and asked him to help me wash out the photos. The film was sent yesterday, and I should have received it this afternoon, so I'll contact him in the afternoon and ask him to send it to me as soon as it comes out......"

Zheng Qian's face changed several times, from red to blue, his heart was mixed, he couldn't tell what it was like, frightened, worried or shocked? His gaze stayed on Xia Xiang's face that was smiling sincerely for a second, and then quickly looked away, and a trace of coolness flashed in his heart - Xia Xiang clearly wanted to capture the past, and the negative was sent back to Yan City, and only he knew what was filmed on it. After he received the photo, even if he showed it to him, it was only specially selected by him, who knows if he still has a hand hidden behind his back? And it was deliberately sent to the Yan Provincial Evening News in Yan City, is this a threat or a hint?

Compared to Zheng Qian, who only felt a chill, Wang Guanqing suddenly heard Xia Xiang throw such a big bomb, and was immediately blown up on the spot, like petrification, with his eyes open and his mouth open, all the confidence that he had cultivated in more than ten years as an official collapsed in an instant! Suddenly, he felt that he was so lonely and helpless, whether it was Liu Shixuan or Shen Fuming, no matter how much power they had in Ba County in Charter City, even if they could cover the sky with one hand, they would not be able to reach Yan City, let alone Yan Provincial Evening News! Xia Xiang is too smart and too vicious, he planned everything, but he didn't say anything, and now he took out the courier bottom, saying that he had photos of the scene, and he also sent them to Yan City...... Wang Guanqing seemed to have walked from midsummer to severe winter in an instant, and he was almost shivering with cold. Xia Xiang didn't understand what he meant, he sent it yesterday and said it today, just to beat the time difference and not give him the opportunity to intercept the mail. Wang Guanqing's ruthless gaze fell on Xia Xiang's body, a young man in his 20s, with deep thoughts and meticulous thoughts, no worse than his old man's security, and he made a big heel in silence!

"Oops......" Cao Shumu exclaimed, I don't know whether to remind Xia Xiang, or to add fuel to Zheng Qian and Wang Guanqing, "Xia Xiang, you have to call your friend in advance and tell him not to put the photos you sent in the newspaper, but it will smear the image of Ba County." Now the Yan Provincial Evening News is creating a brand, specifically exposing the ugly side of various places, in order to increase circulation, they are now very bold, no one will give face. My dad is also a cadre of the provincial bureau, the last time something happened to their bureau, my dad called and it didn't work, the evening newspaper had to report it, which made my dad angry for several days! ”

Zheng Qian took a step back and leaned against a big tree in front of the building before he could stand firmly. Wang Guanqing's body shook a few times, his eyes were dark, if it wasn't for Zheng Qian reaching out and pulling him, he would almost fall on his heels. The two glanced at each other, and they both saw bitterness and helplessness in each other's eyes.

Xia Xiang and Cao Shumu, the two of them together are only in their 40s, but one is smarter than the other, Cao Shumu looks like a simple college student, what he said just now sounds like he is thinking about Zheng Qian and Wang Guanqing, but in fact, he told the two unmistakably that the negative is in the evening newspaper of Yan Province One day, there is a possibility that the fight incident will be reported at any time.

The implication is obvious, it is best to cooperate with Xia Xiang's work in Ba County.

Another meaning is that she is not easy to mess with, her father is a cadre of the provincial bureau, at least what level it is, it is left to the two to fully resemble each other.

Xia Xiang scratched his head, looking honest and sincere, and said with a smile: "The Mucuna girl reminded me, see I forgot about it." I saw Secretary Li for a while and immediately reported to him, the editor-in-chief of Yan Provincial Evening News has a very good relationship with him, for the image of Ba County, he has to suppress everything he says, and smear Ba County, which is equivalent to smearing Secretary Li's face, Secretary Li will be very unhappy! ”

Xia Xiang and Cao Shumu walked for a long time, and Zheng Qian and Wang Guanqing were still standing still. A gust of wind blew and the leaves rattled, Zheng Qian seemed to wake up and said to Wang Guanqing: "Tell County Magistrate Liu that I have to consider his request again." Then he didn't care about Wang Guanqing's faux pas, and walked away on his own.

Wang Guanqing returned to the office in despair, he knew that what Zheng Qian said was referring to the fact that Beihe Trading was going to contract the barren mountain, Zheng Qian originally promised Liu Shixuan to vigorously support Beihe Trading on the Standing Committee, but now he said that he would consider it, but in fact, he clearly refused. But now he doesn't care about Liu Shixuan's affairs, he touched the cold sweat on his head, from Wang Ming to Lian Ruohan, and from Lian Ruohan to Cao Shumu, and finally figured out one thing, the key to all problems is still on Xia Xiang, he is a crucial key, can open all the locks, can help him or destroy him, of course, the premise is, see which side he wants to stand on?

Wang Guanqing, who has lived for dozens of years, has never been so difficult as today, he has calculated in his heart, compared Li Dingshan and Liu Shixuan back and forth dozens of times, and finally made up his mind.

When he returned to the county party committee compound, it was close to noon, Xia Xiang was slightly squinted by the sun, secretly glanced at Cao Shumu a few more times, and secretly surprised that she was really a girl who was both smart and knew how to speak and measure, and her performance just now almost surprised him.

There are a lot of beautiful girls, but there are not many girls who are both beautiful and smart, and at the same time they are beautiful and smart, they can grasp the proportions, not arrogant or impatient, talk decently, do not make people feel arrogant, and can implicitly point out the meaning they want to express, such a girl can meet, it is a great luck. Xia Xiang stretched out his hand and touched Cao Shu's head, and said with a smile: "Mucuna girl, she is so smart and unexpected." ”

Cao Shumu shook his head and dodged Xia Xiang's magic hand: "Don't move your hands and feet, just say anything clearly, and you will definitely let me do bad things for you." ”

"What's the bad thing? Definitely a good thing! Xia Xiangxiang pretended to scratch his head, and saw Cao Shumu staring at his hand and didn't let go, so he had to put it down curtly, "Actually, it's for you to go to Lian Ruohan, chat with her, and drink tea - if there is no teahouse in Ba County, let's have a meal together, anyway, it's a beautiful woman to see a beautiful woman, and cherish each other, there is no harm in being close and close, right?" ”

"Still don't know your mind? Send me to be a spy and infiltrate the enemy, don't you? Cao Shumu was able to penetrate it at one point, she put her hands behind her back, and turned around in place a few times in a fake way, "This problem is very serious, I have to think about it, because I suspect that your real purpose for letting me get close to Sister Lian is that you are fascinated by her and are ready to chase her, right?" ”

Xia Xiang rubbed his hands: "I want to, but I don't think there's a chance, you didn't see Lian Ruohan treat me like a passerby......"

Cao Shumu stood on tiptoe and went to compare his height with Xia Xiang: "Even my sister won't take a fancy to you, the boy she likes is taller than you, more mature than you, and whiter than you......"

Xia Xiang was hit: "The limited shortcomings in my body have been infinitely magnified by you, what's the use of growing to one meter eight?" If you don't play basketball, you will waste your shoes and put too much pressure on your heart. I seem to have 1.78 meters, just right. The skin is neither white nor black, just right. Although he is not very old, he is also very mature and stable, and he is just right......"

"Go, brag about yourself, don't bother to pay attention to you!" Cao Shumu gave Xia Xiang a roll of his eyes, and suddenly said with a smile, "My silver lock is a love object given to me by others, do you want to know who it is?" ”

"Yes!"

"What do you think? Think beautifully! Cao Shumu wanted to wave his hand at Xia, turned around and ran away briskly, like a bird shuttling in the sun, far away, she could still hear her laughter, "Think about it yourself, I want to kill you, I'm angry with you!" ”

Fooled? Xia wanted to stay where he was, smirked for a while, and then went upstairs to find Li Dingshan.

After reporting today's events to Li Dingshan in detail, Li Dingshan pondered for a moment, picked up the phone and called Ding Guobing, the editor-in-chief of the Yan Provincial Evening News: "Guobing, I am Ding Shan, I have something to ask for your opinion...... It is Ba County that is preparing to launch a tourism project for a period of time, do you see if you can organize a group of tourism experts to visit Ba County in the name of the newspaper? At that time, the county party committee and county government axe will come forward to receive them, of course, let them create momentum afterwards and enhance the image of Ba County...... Okay, that's it, you contact first, I'm ready to contact you at any time. There is one more thing, you arrange a trustworthy person to receive an express mail, the sender is the Ba County Party Committee, there is film in it, the photo is developed and then call me, well, good, good ......"

Xia Xiang can operate it concretely, but if it is really to be implemented and needs to use all aspects of power, Li Dingshan must come forward. The huge network behind Li Dingshan is the accumulation of his contacts for more than ten years, which cannot be done by playing smart and using his brain, the accumulation of contacts takes time, luck, and more importantly, he needs to have enough capital.

Xia wanted to know that he still had a long way to go before he got to this point.

Putting down the phone, Li Dingshan said: "Just now the county magistrate Shi came to urge the contracting of the barren mountain again, it seems that Liu Shixuan is very anxious, but he forgot, he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, since he is in such a hurry, as soon as Feng Xuguang arrives, we will bring him a plate of raw tofu to taste, and see how he eats?" ”

Xia Xiang calculated, Shi Fortress must vote in favor of Feng Xuguang's company, Wang Quanyou has one vote, Yang Fan has one vote, Du Shuanglin has one vote, Zheng Qian's vote should also be nine out of ten, plus Li Dingshan's vote, among the eleven Standing Committee members, there are six votes that are sure, just over half, it seems that Liu Shixuan also feels that the situation is not good, and he is anxious to mention the vote on the Standing Committee, and wants to take the rolling dragon ditch in his hands before the situation changes greatly - unfortunately, he doesn't know that it is too late.

Li Dingshan took out a list from the drawer and handed it to Xia Xiang: "I made a list of all the deputy section-level and section-level cadres in Ba County, focusing on checking their academic qualifications. It's so shameful, the ancients were officials with real talent and real learning, and only by taking the entrance examination can they rise to the top, and the society has developed to this day, in order to be promoted, someone actually came up with a fake resume to put gold on their faces, which is really a big joke in the world! ”

Li Dingshan was so angry that he slammed the table: "Check, check to the end." All party and government cadres involved will be strictly investigated! ”

Xia Xiang is very much in favor of Li Dingshan's approach, the cadres who falsify their resumes even deceive themselves, what real achievements can you expect them to make in leadership positions? Just like the donated officials at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the officials were bought with money, and after taking office, you let him serve the country and the people, is he willing? In their eyes, there is no country and no people at the top, and their eyes are full of flying money, although there are few such cadres, and it is impossible to completely eliminate them, but since Li Dingshan and he have met, it is necessary to clean up the cadre team.

"I have already asked An Tao to secretly start to investigate this matter." Li Dingshan regained his composure and smiled self-deprecatingly, "I'm in my 40s, and I'm still easy to be impulsive." If you are not impulsive, you can't do it, the pillar of a country, the dependence and backer in the eyes of the people, if it is all tofu scum full of holes, you are from an architectural background, Xia Xiang, tell me, can the country's building stand tall? ”

Li Dingshan's metaphor is simple and profound, and everyone understands the truth, but once the facts are put in front of them, few people are often able to do it. Li Dingshan and Liu Shixuan fight, if there is a selfish desire to control the overall situation, it is beyond reproach, after all, he is the leader of the county party committee. At present, it is necessary to check the cadre team, it is completely out of a selfless heart, he is a literati, and the literati still have the will, but in this matter, Xia Xiang still stands firmly with him.

"Secretary Li, you must let An Tao keep it a secret, I'm afraid this matter will cause a lot of shock." Not to mention that it is not small, it is definitely a huge shock, in case there is a problem in any link and the news is leaked, if it is unfortunate to be reported by an iron-faced newspaper, Huang Pengfei will not say that he can sit firmly on the throne of the head of the Organization Department, and it would be good to retire safely. Xia Xiang glanced at Li Dingshan, and saw that his eyes were sparkling, revealing an indomitable expression, and his heart was somewhat touched. Officials are also human beings, and they also have selfish thoughts, and it is absolutely impossible to want officials to be as clean as water, but on the premise of ensuring the general direction, under the public heart of seeking benefits for the people, it is completely understandable that they occasionally take the opportunity to suppress the selfishness of their opponents. However, looking at Li Dingshan's appearance now, it seems that he has not yet thought of the idea of taking the opportunity to take several key departments into his own hands.

Xia Xiang didn't hide it, so he said that he had a slightly dark idea, this matter can be big or small, and to put it mildly, it is the problem of the person who forged his resume. Generally speaking, it is the people who have appointed them who have not taken a rigorous and serious attitude toward the appointment of cadres, but have done things in a perfunctory manner and have not strictly checked the gates.

Li Dingshan looked serious, quietly waited for Xia Xiang to finish, and suddenly laughed: "I just thought, if Xiao Xia can't find opportunities in it, it will be difficult to grow into a qualified politician in the future, so I deliberately didn't say it, but fortunately, you still didn't disappoint me......"
