Chapter 382: Good Things Are Coming
Wake up in the morning. Hearing the black chirping outside the window, "I feel refreshed when I breathe in the fresh autumn air, which is only suitable for aphids."
"Get up, lazy!"
Cao Shuhui knocked on the door outside. Xia wanted to get up lazily and open the door, but as soon as he opened the door, he heard Cao Shuhui exclaim: "It's so ugly!" Big rascal! ”
Then he covered his face and blushed his ears and went downstairs.
Xia Xiang looked down at a certain place, and shook his head helplessly and smiled. Then I saw the back of the little girl Ana's colorful back and light and soft waist. I couldn't help but make a ruthless statement in my heart: I'm about to get married anyway. I'll spare you for a few more days. After you get married, see how I clean you up, and see if you dare to run!
Xia Xiang finally experienced the comfort of being unofficial, and today was his third day resting at home. It's said to be a break, but it's actually busy. Busy decorating a new house, busy writing invitations, busy buying furniture, and so on.
Marriage is a major event in life, and it is a trivial matter that must be experienced in person. The parents offered to come over to help, but Xia Xiang didn't let him. The old people are old, and they are not familiar with life in Yan City, so there is no need to work them.
Uncle Cao can't come back in Bao City, it's good. Originally, the marriage of others could be handled by both parents. Xia wanted to marry Cao Shuhui, but it became a busy situation for the two of them.
Fortunately, Xia Xiang and Cao Shuhui are becoming more and more capable now, especially Cao Shuhui, who is much more capable than Xia Xiang imagined, and there is no mayor daughter at all, and now she is the secretary's daughter
She doesn't want others to help, from the layout of the new house, to the selection of furniture, to the choice of wedding dresses, she does everything herself, she doesn't complain about hardship or tiredness, and insists on cooking for Xia Xiang every day.
Xia didn't bother to care about her, she didn't want to do it, so she ate outside. If you want to do it, she will do it.
Sun Xianwei also said that he would give him a set of furniture directly, and he would go to great lengths to buy it himself. Feng Xuguang also offered to give Xia Xiang a set of good mahogany furniture, but Xia Xiang didn't ask for it. Home is a very private place, since the little girl likes to arrange it herself, let her go busy, and she has to make the hostess satisfied.
The new house is arranged in the residential building of the municipal government that Xia Xiang assigned, the room is not big, but under the careful arrangement and careful care of the girl, it is very warm and comfortable. Xia Xiang followed behind Cao Shuhui every day, and became a hands-off shopkeeper, originally he was a coolie responsible for carrying bags and things. But because of the blue socks following, Fang Ge also took the opportunity to follow inch by inch, and also took the initiative to undertake all kinds of hard work, which directly liberated Xia Xiang.
Xia Xiang was also happy, so he took the opportunity to teach Fang Ge some ways to please the girl, and Fang Ge couldn't help but be happy.
Originally, Fang Jinjiang wanted to put Fang Yi in Anxian County. Following Xia Xiang's side, he didn't expect the situation to change abruptly, Xia Xiang was transferred to the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee, and Fang Ge stayed in Yan City for the time being, and it is estimated that he will stay in the Municipal Party Committee for a while and a half. His work is also idle. After ceasing to serve as Li Dingshan's secretary, the relationship was temporarily hung in the secretariat of the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee, and no one usually arranged specific work for him. Xia wants to get married, and there are blue socks here, which gives him enough reasons to be a little follower every day.
Xia Xiang's new house is dominated by fresh and elegant colors. The furniture was also chosen in bright colors.
Fortunately, Sun Xianwei and Feng Xuguang were not allowed to send it, and in the eyes of the two of them, it is estimated that the furniture sent is a style that middle-aged and elderly people like. However, Sun Xianwei and Feng Xuguang saw that Xia wanted not to accept their gifts. was also a little depressed, so he wanted to seal a red envelope of 80,000, but Xia Xiang sternly refused.
Xia Xiang is not short of money, if he really wants to calculate it, he may be richer than the two of them combined. He also felt that everyone was a close friend, and gifts could be received, but it would be too obvious to receive money. In the end, Sun Xianwei and Feng Xuguang did not discuss, but they coincidentally gave a pair of famous watches, which means watches.
Xia Xiang saw that it was a Rolex, not to mention more than thirty or forty thousand, and he also knew the thoughts of the two, if he didn't accept it, he would definitely not be able to accept it, so he had to accept it. Fortunately, he also knows in his heart that the friendship between him and Sun Xianwei and Feng Xuguang has never been suspected of trading power and money, and has always been both commercial cooperation and heart-to-heart, and a pair of watches can be regarded as a normal exchange of courtesies between friends.
As soon as he got the two pairs, Xia Xiang planned to give one of them to Xia An as their wedding gift.
Li Hongjiang also has gifts.
Li Hongjiang don't look at the fact that sometimes people are very arrogant, and his mind is very careful, and what he wants to send Xia is a piece of land in the suburbs of Yanfeng, which is not big, and it can be used to build a private villa. Xia thought about reluctance, and Li Hongjiang was anxious: "I know that others must have gifts to give, but I don't dare to give money, for fear that you will scold me for being vulgar." You don't lack anything else, you have a house and a car. Send you a woman, I'm afraid of being beaten by my younger siblings. I think about it or give a piece of land, but I really want it. If you don't accept it, it means that you don't accept my affection, and you have a long relationship with me. The land was not bought, but a distant relative of mine went to do business in other places, and it was useless to keep it, so it was transferred to me
Xia thought about it and smiled: "You gave me the land, obviously you want me to spend money to build a villa." So that everyone can come and meet in the future, right? It seems that I have taken advantage of it, but in fact, I still suffer. How much does it cost to build a villa? You've got a shrewd plan. ”
Li Hongjiang knew that Xia wanted to accept it, so he laughed hesitantly.
Xia Xiang handed over the land to Xiao Wu and asked him to be responsible for building a farmhouse without luxury. It's practical and comfortable. Xia Xiang means that it can be used as a place for friends to meet in the future. Because in the future, Yan City will prosper the farmhouse economy. A large number of farmhouses were built in the surrounding suburbs almost overnight, and became a good place for Yanshi people to gather for leisure. "The state, the second is more than the family, and the northerners are the most important in the marriage ceremony, so Xia wants to get married. Friends from all walks of life called one after another to congratulate them. If the relationship is good, he asks directly where the ceremony will be held, meaning that he will come when he arrives. Relationships are not good or qualifications are not enough. He implicitly asked if it was inconvenient to add an extra chair and let him come and make trouble. Xia wanted to make friends, and those who came did not refuse, and agreed one by one.
The wedding is still set at the Yanjing Hotel, which means that good things come in pairs, and Qi Donglai also officially announced that on the day of Xia Xiang's wedding, the Yanjing Hotel will be closed as a whole, just to hold a grand wedding banquet!
Qi Yanan volunteered to personally take charge of all matters related to Xia Xiang's wedding banquet.
Shen Lichun, Chu Zigao, Wang Linjie and others naturally have gifts to give each other, whether they are valuable or not, they are all thoughtful. But a few people were obviously not angry. Xia Xiang also remembered them all in his heart. What he didn't expect was that his marriage actually alarmed Cheng Dacai, and Cheng Dacai personally entrusted Shen Lichun to congratulate him and also gave him a gift.
Xia wanted to open the gift and look at it, and smiled dumbly, it turned out to be the project map of Dacai Group across the country. Cheng Dacai is really an all-encompassing businessman, and he gave him the map of the Dacai Group, which means to let him understand Cheng Dacai's expansion intentions, and implicitly remind him that he can make more suggestions for the Dacai Group at the right time.
Presumably, the success of the Anxian resort made Cheng Dacai look at him even higher.
Shen Lichun explained: "This map is Mr. Cheng's favorite, not only because it is Mr. Cheng's painstaking efforts and is marked by Mr. Cheng himself, but also because this map is a gold wire map, and the scrolls are made of jade, which is very valuable." ”
Xia Xiang actually saw the difference of the map, and when he heard Shen Lichun say it, he also felt Cheng Dacai's trust, so he asked Shen Lichun to convey his gratitude to Mr. Cheng.
Gao Lao and Shi Lao all have gifts to give. Gao Lao sent a set of "Zizhi Tongjian", Shi Lao sent "Twenty-four History", and the two elders coincidentally sent him history books, which shows that they all have some hope for him.
After the people in the business circles, they began to give daggers to friends in the officialdom.
To Xia Xiang's great surprise, Anxian was the first. The person who gave him a gift turned out to be Zhang Jian.
Zhang Jian gave a fountain pen and Parker's gold pen. Xia wanted to understand Zhang Jian's thoughts, and Zhang Jian, under his recommendation, quickly expressed his closeness to Mayor Hu after contacting Hu Zengzhou. Hu Zengzhou is also unavailable in Yan City at the moment, he also understands Zhang Jian's character and personality, and then Xia wants to say that he agrees with it, and after observing for a while, he feels that Zhang Jian is indeed quite reliable, so he accepts Zhang Jian.
Zhang Jian was grateful to Xia Xiang for this.
Qiu Xufeng and Mei Xiaolin both said. Qiu Xufeng's shot is also a set of wire-bound books, which is "Siku Quanshu", which is antique and can be seen to be very precious. Mei Xiaolin's gift is a bit weird, it's the latest mobile phone. It is a Unicom mobile phone with a machine number, and the mobile phone is there, and the mobile phone number is there.
Xia Xiang laughed, which meant not to cut off contact. As long as the phone is not thrown away, as long as she pays the mobile phone fee, there will always be a smooth contact between her and Xia Xiang.
Other people more or less also said that to Xia Xiang's slight surprise, Fang Yuhui also gave a gift, and the gift was also valuable, and he gave him a crystal town platform with ingenuity.
It is a natural titanium crystal, very beautiful, and when placed on the desk, there is a shocking beauty. Xia thought about it, did Fang Yuhui send the crystal to him to show his innocence?
Subsequently, Li Dingshan, Gao Hai, Fang Jinjiang, and Qin Tuofu also had gifts, and then Chen Feng and Wang Pengfei's gifts were also delivered in turn. Chen Feng's gift was a screen on which were painted portraits of officials from all dynasties. The implications are far-reaching. Wang Pengfei is the most casual. What was sent was a rattan chair, Xia Xiang could see at a glance that it was a good rattan chair native to the south, which could never be bought in Yan City, and Secretary Wang was also hearted.
Mayor Hu's gift was the least unexpected for Xia Xiang. It is a pair of words, which reads: "Harmony of the piano." But what surprised him slightly was that Hu Zengzhou's was generously inscribed on the place.
Mayor Hu was finally willing to sign, and Xia Xiang was overjoyed. I thought that this gift was an unexpected gain, and it also proved Mayor Hu's true thoughts that he no longer avoided outsiders. In the end, Gao Jin Zhou, Song Dynasty and Ma Wanzheng also had gifts to send them, of course, the gift was either a book or a brush, the gift was light and affectionate, as a provincial leader, the mind was on the line. Even if they just made a phone call and came, Xia Xiang was just as grateful.
Ma Wanzheng sent a box of good tea, and Song Chaodu sent a set of four treasures of the study.
Drinking tea and cultivating oneself, the four games in the study room can nourish oneself, and the two provincial leaders are reminding themselves that when they go to the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee in the future, they must calm down, don't be impetuous, and cultivate themselves well?
Xia Xiang still solemnly expressed his gratitude to the two leaders.
The date of the wedding is set on the New Year's Day of the 2nd year, the 10,000th day of the month. Parents and Xia An came from Shancheng to help, and Xia Xiang also arranged for them to live in Donglong Community. For Xia Xiang to get married, Xia Cheng and his wife were so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths together, and they had been looking forward to Jixiang being able to start a family, and finally their wish was fulfilled.
Xia Xiang in the previous life did not get married when he died. It did not satisfy the willingness of parents to hold their grandchildren. It broke their hearts. In this life, he wants to make his parents feel at ease, secondly, to give Cao Shuhui a marriage guarantee, and thirdly, he also wants to become a family with the little girl, so that he can settle him
love
And as a person in the officialdom, if he has never started a family, it will affect his career to some extent, although it is not absolute.
Xia An was also very happy and relieved that Cao Shuji was finally able to become a member of the Xia family. Xu Ning is happy because Xia Xiang wants that once she gets married, she and Xia An can enter the palace of marriage at any time. In fact, she waited a little anxiously. can't wait to marry Cheyenne as soon as possible, and become Cheyenne's daughter-in-law. Xu Ning was very satisfied that she could marry into the Xia family. I didn't think it before, but now I admire her vision more and more, and I took a fancy to Cheyenne early. Who would have thought that Cheyenne, who has nothing extraordinary, has an outstanding brother. Now Xia An is very popular in the Shancheng City Committee, and I don't know how many female colleagues are openly and secretly courteous.
Xu Ning has a sense of crisis, don't talk about falling in love with Xia An for a few years, recently the bride has become someone else, and she has become the most miserable person in the world. As a result, Xu Ning's sense of urgency to get married was very strong.
It can be said that when the news of Xia wanting to get married came, not only Xia Cheng and his wife were very happy, but even Xu Ning's family was as happy as a holiday. In the past, they felt that they were much more imposing in front of Xia Cheng and his wife, but now they are unconsciously a little shorter. The rising momentum of the Xia family is too powerful, and who doesn't know that Mayor Shan is about to take over as secretary of the Shan City Party Committee, and Xia An is Shan Fengchang's former celebrity, and he will definitely follow the tide.
Xia Cheng said first, Xia wanted not to get married. Cheyenne hustle and bustle, must wait. Now that Xia wants to get married, Xu Ning can marry into the Xia family at any time. How not to let them be ecstatic?
Xia Xiang didn't know about his marriage, and it also affected the thoughts of Xu Ning's family who were far away in Shancheng.
Although Cao Yongguo is the secretary of the Bao Municipal Fu Committee. But my daughter's marriage is a big deal, and I came back two days early.
The daughter of the secretary of the municipal party committee got married, and many people in Bao City inquired about the wedding venue, preparing to prepare a generous gift when the time comes, so as to take the opportunity to curry favor with the secretary of the municipal party committee. Everyone in the compound of the Baoshi Municipal Party Committee knows that although Secretary Cao is usually approachable, he can ask him to do things, as long as he complies with the rules and is slightly unqualified, he will also relax his standards. But there is one thing, he never takes gifts. Many peers or subordinates who admired Secretary Cao very much were ready to go to Yan City to congratulate him.
Cao Yongguo also knew that the exchange of favors in the officialdom was inevitable, and he couldn't stand everyone's enthusiasm, so he said the wedding location, but there was one point, no gift money was accepted. Anyone who prepares gift money will not be allowed to enter the door.
That being said, everyone had different thoughts. Many people think that Secretary Cao must be just putting on a show, which. Is there no gift money for an official's daughter to marry or for his son to marry? If you really don't accept gift money, can you still return the money if you take it?
On the 10,000th day, the Cao family and the Xia family sat together to discuss the details of the wedding. After almost discussing it, Xia Xiang followed Cao Yongguo into the study.
Xia Xiang thought that Uncle Cao would teach a few words earnestly, but Uncle Cao just smiled, and said helplessly: "There must be many people who give gifts, and they don't accept them well, and they are suspected of giving gifts in disguise." It's not good not to accept it, in the same officialdom, you can't refute everyone's face Xiao Xia in person, what should you do? ”
Xia Xiang smiled: "Uncle Cao, don't worry. I had already thought of a countermeasure and promised not to accept any gift money. And don't embarrass everyone. ”
For Uncle Cao's practice of not wanting to accept gift money. Xia Xiang is still very much in favor. Those who are officials can't see it, although it is said that they can make a small profit by receiving gift money. Not to mention anything else, it is Xia Xiang's friends in the business world, if he doesn't refuse. It is possible to receive hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of gift money.
Even if everyone agrees with this gray income. But Xia Xiang didn't want to accept it. For money. He doesn't have much desire, also because he is never short of money now. If you want money, you can make money from the mall, and now Cao Shuhui's design company has a rough estimate. It's not a problem to earn 100,000 a year.
If Xia wants to make money by himself and put on the name of a designer, he dares to guarantee that it will be easy to get one million yuan a year. But now that others are in officialdom, they have to avoid telling the truth.
Therefore, Xia Xiang thought of a key point for Uncle Cao, and the performance of not accepting gift money also looked up to him. Uncle Cao can't be said to be a clean official who is as clean as water, but judging from the utensils in the Cao family's house and his understanding of the Cao family in recent years, that is, the ordinary family, the Kang family is more than enough, that is to say, Uncle Cao is not a greedy person.
"Oh?" Uncle Cao was very interested, "Let's hear it." ”
Xia Xiang sold it: "You don't have to worry about Uncle Cao, you will know it at a glance." ”
Cao Yongxian smiled lovingly: "Still playing hide and seek with me? Okay, I don't care. ”
After sitting down, the two talked about the situation in the province and how to deal with it. Regarding Xia Xiang's sudden transfer to the Information Department of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee, Cao Yongguo was also angry, and he also complained to Lu Yuanyuan. Lu Yuanyuan was also helpless and told Cao Yongguo. Two secretaries, a provincial governor, and a head of the organization minister, who would object to it? Besides, objections are also invalid. There is also the fact that Xia thought of the provincial party committee, which is not a one-person provincial party committee, and it is close to everyone, maybe it is still a good thing.
Cao Yongguo thought about it too, and felt that he was still concerned about it, and he didn't think deeply about the future of the whole incident.
Defense: Make a wish" 100 monthly passes, don't worry about the three today, there will be a chapter in a while. Ask for a monthly pass, show sincerity first.
