"It's because once Yang Bin drove past Mayor Rui's special car, and accidentally stopped Mayor Rui's car, and as a result, Mayor Rui took a grudge and had to fire Yang Bin.

Deputy Director Wang of the National People's Congress disagreed, and Mayor Rui didn't know what method was used to make Yang Bin make a mistake himself, and he was fired as a result. ”

When Tang Hua came to speak, he observed Xia Xiang's expression slightly nervously, lest his nomination letter would not arouse Xia Xiang's interest.

Fortunately, Xia Xiang still looked quite interested: "So why do you always rearrange Yang Bin as my driver?" In fact, Xia Xiang was not very interested in Ruigan's expulsion of Yang Bin, so in order not to discourage the enthusiasm of the soup industry, he still asked one more question.

Unexpectedly, it was his more questioning that asked a deeper heart.

"Yang Bin is a distant relative of Mayor Gu."

Tang Hualai pretended to be mysterious, and stretched out a hand, "But few people know about this matter, and I also overheard others say it, in the entire Lang City, there are no more than five people who know." ”

Gu Xiangguo's relatives? Interesting, Xia Xiang's heart moved, what he felt interesting was not the fact that Yang Bin was a distant relative of Gu Xiangguo, but that since Yang Bin had a relationship with Gu Xiangguo, he was still expelled from public office by Rui Gan, just because he overtook the car once, Mayor Rui was not only domineering, but also extremely powerful and skilled, and he was able to suppress Gu Xiangguo? Could it be...... With Oh Chen's power? Tang Hualai is worthy of being the deputy secretary general, and when he looked at his face, he immediately understood what Xia Xiang was thinking, and said: "Mayor Rui actually knows the origin of Yang Bin, but Mayor Rui has always been used to saying everything in the municipal party committee, although he is not the mayor, but when he was in power, Mayor Gu basically followed his advice in everything......" Tang Hua said it quite implicitly, in fact, the meaning could not be clearer, Gu Xiangguo was set aside by Rui Gan.

Xia Xiang pondered for a moment, the matter mentioned by Tang Hualai seemed to be a trivial matter on the surface, but in fact, when he thought about it deeply, there were many intriguing things in it.

Not only did he have a better understanding of Regan's personality, but it also made him guess more about Gu Xiangguo's skills.

I remember that Mei Shengping said that Gu Xiangguo is still a reserve cadre named by the No. 1 leader, if it is true, Gu Xiangguo's political level is too disappointing to the No. 1 leader.

Of course, many local governments also have the fact that the mayor was jointly overtaken by the secretary of the municipal party committee and the executive vice mayor, but what is the relationship between Mayor Rui and Ai Chengwen? Xia Xiang ordered some soup: "Hualai, since you have something to say, you might as well say more." ”

Tang Hualai knew that Xia Xiang's statement was accepting his meaning, and he lowered his head for a moment, as if he was considering how to speak.

"Mayor Rui is quite independent in the municipal party committee, and he has a general relationship with Secretary Ai, and he has no dealings with Mayor Gu, but he has a high prestige in the municipal party committee, and many middle-level cadres listen to him very much.

Another point is that he has a very close relationship with Oh Chen, so many members of the Standing Committee of the municipal party committee obey him. ”

"Secretary Zhang, Secretary Lu, and Commander Tian, generally as long as it is Mayor Rui's proposal, they will express their support, and sometimes Minister Liu also supports Mayor Rui's position.

Therefore, there is a saying within the municipal party committee that Gu Xiangguo has no Ruixiang.

Ai Chengwen does not take root - that is, the two of them together are not worth one Regan. ”

Tang Hualai really knew more things than Li Caiyuan, and told Xia Xiang everything in one hundred and fifty ten.

There are Xia who want to hear it, and more people have not heard of it, in short, it has gained a lot.

It turned out that in the past, led by Regan, there was another faction in the municipal party committee, and it was also a faction that pressed the secretary and the mayor.

Regan is really powerful, uniting Lu Yike, Zhang Yingji, Tian Huishu and others, and even Liu Yilin has a lot of support for him, is it because of Regan's strong wrists, or is it because of Oh Chen's power? Probably both! No wonder Regan will be respected by Oh Chen as the No. 1 VIP of Tianzi, sure enough, the one with equal strength is the ally, if the strength is not equal, it is a follower, and it is impossible to be respected by Oh Chen.

"Ah, why did Mayor Rui's begonia stay?" Tang Hualai was very surprised when he found the begonias in Xia Xiang's office.

"What do you say about begonias?" Xia Xiang smiled.

"I don't know about this, anyway, I remember that Mayor Rui and Oh Chen didn't have a close relationship at the beginning, and then after Oh Na Chen sent a begonia, the two of them got closer and closer.

At that time, Mayor Rui couldn't put down begonias and watered and pruned them every day. ”

Tang Hualai, as the deputy secretary general of the corresponding Regan, has a much more detailed understanding of Reagan than Li Caiyuan.

…… After Tang Hua came and left, Xia Xiang first pondered for a while, and then also picked up the kettle to water the begonia, and after watering it around, he remembered something, took out a tool to loosen the soil for the begonia, and found that everything was normal, there was nothing suspicious, and he was relieved.

In the next step, he already knows how to go, with Tang Hualai's surrender, he currently has two credible people in the municipal party committee, although the strength is still very weak, but he has peeled off the cocoon and gradually come into contact with some of the truths hidden behind the matter.

Winning over several members of the Standing Committee as allies is the first step.

And oh Chen is the second step.

Finding out the murderer behind Shen Lexue's car accident is the third step.

Building your own team is the fourth step...... In the long run, there is no need to think about it, in the process of taking a look, there may be many unexpected accidents, everything should be more thoughtful.

Xia thought about it, and suddenly smiled, from beginning to end he didn't think of who he wanted to rely on, I have to say that he has only been in Lang City for more than ten days, and he is indeed more mature and assertive than before.

Xia Xiang sat in the office, looking at the bleak winter scenery outside the window, and his mind was a little heomy.

Lang City is not much different from Yan City in terms of climate, both are dry and cold northern cities, of course, the indoor heating is very hot, but the outside is bone-chilling.

The two heavens of cold and hot are just like his current situation, his heart is hot, but the reality is cold and pressing.

Fortunately, Xia Xiang has always been a character who faces difficulties, and he still has a somewhat jealous temper in his bones, of course, he also has the side of judging the situation, knowing how to advance and retreat, and taking flexibility as the top in everything, and will not be reckless.

Compared with the previous in Ba County and Anxian County, there may be more roundabout and accommodating means, and he knows how to retreat as advance and scheming, and there is less blood and leakage, but there is no way, growth always has to pay the corresponding price, and with the improvement of his status, he has entered the sequence of senior officials at the deputy department level, and it is impossible to be the same as when he was at the department level and section level before, he can be angry at the crown and can be enthusiastic.

Moreover, with the improvement of the level, after the corresponding broadening of the horizon, the level of the opponents faced has also improved, the previous petty power tricks and small means are no longer effective, once the political struggle reaches a certain level, it may not be a rhetorical sword, but it is even more frightening, and even more worrying about life.

Shen Lexue's experience is a living example.

From Shen Lexue, Xia Xiang thought of Li Caiyuan again.

Because of Li Caiyuan, he was able to use the nomination of the executive deputy director of the Finance Bureau to find out the respective positions of the Standing Committee.

Or because of Li Caiyuan, he met Oh Chen for the first time in the People's Hospital, and at the same time, he accidentally met Zhao Xiaofeng, and it seems that there may be further contact.

Letting Li Caiyuan serve as his secretary is really a wonderful move, although it is said that the wonderful chess was first proposed by Qiu Xufeng, and Qiu Xufeng did not explain clearly how he knew what happened to Li Caiyuan.

Xia thought about it, he had to go back to Yan City when he had time, and he would find Qiu Xufeng and Mei Shengping and said.

Qiu Xuxu introduced Li Caiyuan, and Mei Shengping introduced Liu Yilin, in contrast, Liu Yilin's attitude was ambiguous, which made Xia Xiang have a lot of guesses about Mei Shengping's intentions.

Thinking of the provincial party committee, whether it is Fan Ruiheng or Song Chaodu, or even Gao Jinzhou and Wang Pengfei, they did not introduce him to their relationship in Lang City, which is also very meaningful.

Several people are members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, and they are all in power, and it is impossible to have nothing to do with them in Lang City, but suddenly there was collective silence, and Xia Xiang understood that maybe someone was secretly speaking, just to create problems for himself.

Whether it was a test or a deliberate attempt to open up the situation by himself in an unfamiliar environment, anyway, Xia Xiang had already understood one thing, and the leaders of the provincial party committee, who had always taken good care of him, collectively lost their voices, not ignoring him, but intentionally.

Xia Xiang was very smart and kept silent, and did not ask the above people for help.

If he can't do anything as soon as he leaves Yan City, he is the flower of the greenhouse, and he will come to the conclusion that it is useless in everyone's minds.

Lang City is the most critical step in his growth, and if he takes it, he can set the tone for his real ruling side.

If you can't get out, you may be at the level of the deputy hall.

Even if he is barely promoted to the main hall, it is estimated that there is no chance to take charge of a city.

Lang City is a minefield, a cliff, a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, he must grit his teeth and break through, otherwise, it will not only disappoint many people, but also make his future stop at the level of the main department, and in the future, if he wants to be vice governor, provincial or even higher, if he can't step through the hurdle of Lang City, he doesn't have to think about it.

Fortunately, after a period of exploration and temptation, Xia Xiang, who is calm and confident, is finally back! Seeing that it was time to get off work in the afternoon, Xia Xiang was about to pack up his things and was about to go out, when he heard Li Caiyuan outside: "Mayor Xia, Minister Liu is here." ”

Liu Yilin is ranked behind Xia Xiang in the municipal party committee, because Xia Xiang has the experience of being the leader of the district party committee, and he is still ranked high in the Standing Committee.

Therefore, unless the relationship is familiar to a certain extent, the general Standing Committee members come over, and Xia Xiang does not have to go outside to greet him.

Xia Xiang just stood up behind his desk as a gesture of politeness.

Liu Yilin's face was not very good-looking, and as soon as she came in, she said, "Mayor Xia, you nominated Luo Qing, why didn't you say hello to me in advance?" I was not prepared and had a fight with Secretary Ai. ”

Dare to be affectionate is that Xingshi is here to ask the guilt, Xia Xiang smiled: "Minister Liu, you misunderstood, I didn't nominate Luo Qing, I reported to the Municipal Party Committee from the Finance Bureau, and it has nothing to do with me." ”

Xia Xiang sloppied his eyes.

Liu Yilin first glared angrily, and suddenly laughed again after a long time: "You have to invite me to dinner today, so go to the No. 1 room of Tianzi in Jingxian Residence, and I will also see and understand." ”

It's okay not to mention the No. 1 room of Tianzi, but as soon as he mentions it, Xia Xiang has an opinion: "Minister Liu, the No. 1 room of Tianzi, you should have been invited by Mayor Rui before, and you probably have been there many times, right?" Liu Yilin was stunned, and after a while, she said unexpectedly: "So, you refuse to invite me to dinner?" It's stingy! "It's not a matter of being stingy, it's that Xia Xiang has always been uneasy about Liu Yilin, Mei Shengping didn't explicitly say that Liu Yilin can be trusted and cooperated, and he didn't say Liu Yilin's background and origin, but he clearly introduced Liu Yilin and Xia Xiang to know each other, which is equivalent to just igniting and firing guns.

With Xia Xiang's understanding of Mei Shengping, he can also know that Mei Shengping's general intention is that he only needs to introduce it anyway, as for whether Liu Yilin can cooperate or not, it has nothing to do with him, it is Xia Xiang's own business.

After several contacts with Liu Yilin, Xia Xiang also has a general understanding of Liu Yilin's personality, and has to admit that Liu Yilin is the most scheming and difficult to figure out among the female senior officials he knows, although in fact, there are not many female senior officials he has contacted.

In contrast, Tu Yun is much easier to deal with, don't look at Tu Yun's self-esteem, but her shortcomings are obviously exposed, for Xia Xiang, Tu Yun and Liu Yilin's political wisdom is not at the same level.

It's a pity that Liu Yilin's political wisdom can be of great use if he is in a place where everything pays attention to rules, but in Lang City, not only the political situation is complicated, but also the underworld forces are deep-rooted, and there is the uneasy factor of being in Yan Province and looking at the capital, Liu Yilin's Tai Chi massage methods are difficult to use in Lang City.

Xia Xiang has already come to the conclusion that in Lang City, if he wants to open up the situation and make a difference, he not only needs Regan-style domineering, Liu Yilin-style scheming, but also needs his own bold development.

As soon as you step into the land of right and wrong, you need to push open the door of life and death with both hands.

Xia Xiang was not annoyed by Liu Yilin's evasive answer, even if she didn't want to cooperate, he didn't necessarily have to force Liu Yilin to change his position.

Presumably, Liu Yilin is too much in Lang City, and he doesn't want to make a big difference, unlike him, he is in Lang City, and he needs to lay the foundation for rising.

"It's not that I don't invite Minister Liu to dinner, it's really a lonely man and a widow together, which is easy to provoke criticism.

After all, the name is not right...... "Xia Xiang nodded a little implicitly, on the grounds that it is easy to provoke criticism, in fact, it means that the relationship between him and Liu Yilin is not an alliance.

Liu Yilin blinked: "It's really hypocritical, don't men all yearn for sexual encounters?" If you ask you to eat, you won't refuse, will you? "Not necessarily, some women are pretty, but they are beautiful tigers."

Liu Yilin smiled: "If you invite me to dinner, I'll tell you about Chen's background, how about it?" Xia wanted to see that Liu Yilin's appearance was not like a joke, and he was tempted: "Last time Minister Liu helped me out of the siege, I haven't expressed my gratitude yet, I just happened to be free today, so I invited Minister Liu to dinner, I don't know if Minister Liu is willing to appreciate his face?" Liu Yilin nodded: "In the end, it is a man, interests come first, okay, I agreed." ”

She turned around and left, walked to the door and turned around and said, "I'll go change my clothes first, and then you will pick me up in the back Standing Committee Building."

Remember, drive yourself, don't use a driver. ”

Liu Yilin deliberately hinted that Xia Xiangxin had made up her mind, and after two tricks, Liu Yilin seemed to be really going to confess.

At the very least, she reminded him that he didn't need Yang Bin to drive, which was a kind start.

When Xia Xiang went to pick up the car by himself, Yang Bin heard that Xia Xiang drove by himself, so he didn't ask too much, so he handed the car to Xia Xiang.

Yang Bin is not polite at all, his hands and feet are very thick, and he has a lot of beard on his face, as if there is mud in his fingernails, a little sloppy, after Xia Xiang drove into the car, he opened the window and said: "Yang Bin, pay attention to personal image and hygiene in the future." ”

Yang Bin was stunned for a moment, Xia Xiang's car had already gone away, he looked at the tail lights of the car, and suddenly spat out: "Lao Tzu is this virtue, how old are you, do you want to take care of Lao Tzu?" you, Lang City doesn't have your share yet! Xia wanted to pick up Liu Yilin, but did not go to the Amazing Immortal Residence, it would be too ostentatious to go to the Amazing Immortal Residence, but randomly found a stylish restaurant called Lingyan Pavilion.

After the two of them arrived at the room and sat down, Xia Xiang noticed that Liu Yilin had changed her dress, with light makeup on her face, and wore a dark gray wool skirt.

Xia Xiang smiled: "Minister Liu is the highest-ranking and most beautiful female cadre I have ever seen. ”

"It turns out that you also boast about people, and I thought you would reject people."

Liu Yilin retorted, but a flush flashed on her face.

From the age of 9 to the age of 99, a woman likes to have men praise her for being beautiful, which is her nature, no matter how high the level is.

Xia Xiang smiled: "That's right, a man will praise a woman."

Men who don't praise women are all singles. ”

"Huh."

One sentence amused Liu Yilin, she smiled, twisted her waist, and because the wool skirt was very fitting, the curves were exposed, and in the warm but ambiguously lit private room, it was extraordinarily amorous, and it was easy to provoke reverie.

It is rare for a very dignified and elegant woman to sit in the position of the deputy hall, and she is also in charge of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, which is not simple.

Xia Xiang is not a hairy young man, he loses his temper when he sees a woman's delicate figure, Liu Yilin is beautiful, but in his eyes he is a flower that can be viewed from a distance and is unapproachable.

He just regarded Liu Yilin as an extremely difficult political friend to deal with, and if possible, he might become a limited alliance with interests greater than differences.

asked for food, didn't ask for wine, the two of them were not thinking about eating and drinking, they just ate a little, Liu Yilin looked directly into Xia Xiang's eyes with interest, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Mayor Xia to be quite patient, I thought you would have taken the initiative to come to me to ask about something, but I didn't expect to endure it all the time, it's really admirable." ”

Xia Xiang waved his hand: "You can't force everything, goodwill is based on the sincerity of both parties." ”

"You mean I'm not sincere enough?" Liu Yilin didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, she stretched her waist, and her chest seemed full and full, but Xia Xiang pretended not to see it, just smiled and said nothing.

Liu Yilin saw that he couldn't handle Xia Xiang, so he had to shake his head and smile: "Okay, I'll tell you about Chen's background, he is a legendary character......
