Chapter 900: Interaction, Anomalous
Chapter 900 Interaction, Anomalous
Within a day, he encountered two things that surprised him one after another, and Xia Xiang knew that a major adjustment of provincial and ministerial-level cadres not only changed the ranking between the four major families, but also added new interactions and variables to the original antagonism and alliance between the four major families.
But thinking about it again, in fact, the Mei family and the Qiu family were relatively close. The main thing is the rapid approach between the Fu family and the Wu family, which is a bit unexpected by Xia Xiang.
In Xia Xiang's opinion, the Wu family is the only one, and they don't have much contact with the other three, which is quite superior, and they have cooperated with the Fu family twice before, and they have put the Fu family together both times, so it's strange that the Fu family doesn't hold grudges. But now that Wu Caihe and Wu Ruotian's father and son appeared at the Fu family at the same time, and they also came out to greet him with Fu Xianxian, the significance revealed is extraordinary, which shows that the relationship between the Wu family and the Fu family now definitely has a solid foundation for cooperation.
Fu Xianfeng shook hands with Xia Xiang, and without introducing Wu Caihe, he staggered a step, making Wu Ruotian and Xia Xiang cold. When he saw Xia Xiang coming alone, without bringing his family, there was a trace of complicated emotions in his eyes.
Xia Xiang finally decided not to take Cao Shumu and Xia Dong with him, also out of cautious optimism, there is not a lot of common language between him and the Fu family, there is no need to get too close at once, it is good to have more buffers.
Xia Xiang held Wu Caihe's outstretched hand, and did not call his position: "Uncle Wu is good." β
Wu Caihe glanced at Xia Xiang a few times, and looked kind: "If the sky doesn't say good things about you in front of me, I will let him learn more from you." The battle of Quanmei lacquer was fought very beautifully, I can't believe that such a young person, how can the method be so old-fashioned? β
Wu Caihe's eyes narrowed slightly, when he spoke, he always had a smiling expression, giving people a very gentle feeling, which was completely different from Wu Caiyang's strength and Wu Caijiang's roundness, he was like an elder without a little shelf, which made people feel cordial.
But in the officialdom, sometimes you need a little shelf, a little control, otherwise others will not look up to you. Unless you achieve the top position, you are approachable without a stand, and you are concerned about the common people, but at the department level, even at the provincial level, you must maintain a kind of mystery and alienation in order to ensure the authority and respect you deserve.
Maybe Wu Caihe is too easy-going and loving, so people can't afford to be afraid. Without fear, no one will be like you.
A few polite words, a cold noise, Xia Xiang was welcomed in.
Mr. Fu sat in the middle of the living room, and there was a person next to him, wearing a long skirt, with long hair, low eyebrows, quiet and far-reaching, giving people a kind of quiet and silent beauty. Xia Xiang almost didn't recognize it, she turned out to be Fu Xianxian.
Fu Xianxian also has such a quiet side?
Xia Xiang has dealt with Old Man Fu twice, once with a polite mask on, and once with a direct collision, anyway, both times are not pleasant memories. Fortunately, everyone is a scene person, and they all know that this time and that time, although Old Man Fu did not get up, only nodded to Xia, but there was still a warm look in his eyes.
Xia Xiang also said hello respectfully, very polite, very distant, and showed appropriate respect, but Fu Xianxian kept his head down, not knowing what she was pretending to, and didn't dare to look at Xia Xiang more, just nodded lightly.
Sitting down, serving tea, the so-called entertainment is just a few clichΓ© things, but the feelings between people are slowly cultivated in some mundane things. People are emotional animals, who are close to whom they are far away, in addition to the common interests, the maintenance of feelings is the most important. Of course, as a politician, his feelings are the most unreliable, and he is respectful and respectful on the surface, who knows if there are two sides behind him?
The reason why Xia Xiang was able to sit in front of Old Man Fu and drink tea was not because Old Man Fu had any feelings for him, but because he had a stake in him.
"The food of the Qiu family is not as delicious as the Fu family......" Old Man Fu said about eating, "The Qiu family has a light taste, and the dishes they cook are less salt and tasteless, so I can't get used to it." It's either salty or sweet, not salty or sweet, how to eat it? β
Xia Xiang didn't pay much attention to what he ate, he ate delicacies from the mountains and seas in two bites, and he could eat enough steamed buns and pickles, so he had to smile when dealing with the old man's eating theory: "I patronized and talked, and I even forgot what the food tasted like." β
"Haha......" Old Man Fu smiled proudly, "Today, I bought a good roast duck for you, you must taste it well, don't remember what it tastes like, it's always her heart." β
Xia Xiang confessed: "Actually, don't bother, I eat whatever I eat casually, and I'm not picky." But thank you for your kindness. β
"Don't thank her, thank her for what? We all want to thank you for saving the family. Old Man Fu said solemnly, "The previous grievances and grievances have passed, and from the moment you saved Xianxian, you are the VIP of the Fu family." β
This is not light, Xia Xiang can't afford to be the VIP of the Fu family, and was about to say a few polite words, but the old man Fu waved his hand: "The grace of saving lives is greater than the sky, and anything else is hypocrisy, come, eat, eat." β
Xia Xiang had no choice but to be respectful and obedient, and sat down to eat.
Fu Xian sat next to him first, served vegetables for him, and wrapped duck meat for him, careful, attentive, and intimate, so Xia couldn't help but want to eat more. But in front of the Fu family, he was a little uncomfortable, fortunately, Fu Xianxian's father, uncle and third uncle were not present, otherwise the pressure on his body would be even greater.
and the Fu family, after all, there was a deep holiday, and it was difficult for people to meet each other with a smile and a grudge.
Wu Caihe was okay, still smiling, as if he was blind to the intimacy between Fu Xianxian and Xia Xiang. Wu Ruotian didn't have such a deep city, his eyes flickered over several times, and fell on Xia Xiang and Fu Xianxian, his face was full of confusion and questions.
Needless to say, Wu Ruotian knows the relationship between Xia Xiang and Lian Ruohan.
A meal, eat tastefully and tastelessly. What is interesting is that what Mr. Fu said is true, the food is indeed delicious. What is tasteless is that a table of people sit together, but the common language is not much, there is a barrier, and there are strangers, although they also say some words, but most of them are related to eating, and there is no nutritious topic.
It's normal, today is just a tentative meeting, and if you want to have real interests in common with the Fu family, there is still a long way to go.
Of course, today is not without gains, at least psychologically, the relationship with the Fu family has been slightly improved, at least the old man Fu showed his loving and tolerant side in front of Xia Xiang, at least the appearance of Wu Caihe and Wu Ruotian must have been acquiesced by the old man Wu, and it also indirectly shows that the Wu family hopes that he and the Fu family will shake hands and make peace.
The hand is shaken, but when it comes to peace, Xia wants to believe that it will take time.
After returning in the evening, Cao Shumu and Xia Dong had already slept, and they went out to play around accompanied by Lian Ruohan, and they were tired. Xia Xiang didn't feel sleepy, and he didn't turn on the lights in the room, just thinking about things in the dark.
The appointment in Lang City was very sudden, and he was not given much preparation, but it was completely different from the trip to Lang City, which gave him enough buffer period and allowed him to do enough preliminary work, and it was just in time for the National Day holiday.
In Lang City's tenure for about a year, he gradually lost contact with the family forces, and at the beginning he had a short contest with the Fu family and the Mei family because of the emerging agriculture, and then there was neither a conflict of interest nor a common point of interest, and even the contradiction between him and the Fu family was diluted a lot because of the passage of time.
But before he took office in Tianze City, all of a sudden, the four families were linked, and the relationship between him and the four families warmed up rapidly, naturally there are certain objective factors, and it is difficult to guarantee that there is no behind-the-scenes driving factor, is it the Wu family? Is it the Fu family? Or who?
Xia wants to be clearer, in fact, the four families are deliberately using the momentum of enthusiastically praising him to put pressure on the prime minister, or even deliberately show the troupe members a play, the political intention is very obvious, just kidding, everyone is in the officialdom, and every move naturally has the intention behind it.
Another point, he has endured not taking the initiative to call Lao Gu, and Lao Gu has always been silent. With Lao Gu's channels and the momentum deliberately created by the four families, Lao Gu had already seen his every move in the capital, but he had nothing to say, either he was a cold bystander, or the prime minister was completely disappointed in him and had given up on him.
Or whether he was secretly observing him did not know.
The night in the capital is noisy and beautiful, in fact, there is not much difference between being in the capital and in Yan City, at least in the feeling of Xia Xiang, they are both horizontal and vertical northern cities, they are all the same accents, the same crowd, except for the faces of more foreigners in the buildings and more cars in the capital, and the difference between Yan City and Yan City is really not so obvious.
Beijing is an ancient city, Yan City is a new city, the domestic city is the same planning, without characteristic expansion, which has led to the similarity of the face of the city, I have to say that it is a kind of sadness. So there has never been a market for domestic tourism, urban tourism.
Tianze City is also a tourist city, although there are China's top ten scenic spots, but in fact the tourism resources are not rich, in addition to a prestigious royal garden, other scenery has no scale and no characteristics, and due to the climate reasons, characteristic tourism has not been developed, other aspects can be worth mentioning is also very little, industry is mediocre, agriculture is general, mineral is poor, it can be said that in the past few decades, has been competing with the charter city for the title of the first poor city in Yan Province.
β¦β¦
The next day, Xia Xiang accompanied Cao Shumu and Xia Dong to visit the Great Wall, Xiao Wu and Feng Meimei also climbed the Great Wall for the first time, and the two families had a good time, until the afternoon, after receiving a call from Lian Ruohan, Xia Xiang returned to the hotel, until he was so tired that his legs were sore, his waist was weak, and he didn't want to move for half a minute while lying on the bed.
If you don't want to move, you have to move, Wu Caiyang sent out an invitation and invited him to Wu's house for a banquet.
It's better to go to Wu's house without Cao Shumu, and even Ruohan specially explained that she would come over to accompany Cao Shumu's mother and son, and she wanted to buy clothes. If Xia wants to kill and doesn't buy any clothes, he is tired to death after climbing the Great Wall for a day, where is the spiritual head? But a woman is a woman, even if she is Cao Shumu, who has a very light temperament, she is more interested in clothes than her legs are sore.
Xia Xiang handed over the bank card that Lian Ruohan had given him before: "Use it casually, buy whatever you like, I can't accompany you, you spend money hard, I heard that women are happy when they spend money." β
Cao Shumu took the card and put it in his bag: "It seems that I haven't spent your money, what is your monthly salary?" Is it enough for me to buy a pair of underwear? She had a narrow smile on her face, obviously deliberately teasing Xia Xiang.
Xia wants to sweat a lot, his salary is only two or three thousand yuan a month, in terms of making money, not to mention that there is a world of difference between him and Lian Ruohan, even Cao Shumu can earn five or six million yuan a year, he really can't compare.
It was also Xia Xiang who looked down on money, but Feng Meimei relieved him: "Jiangshan Real Estate made a profit of hundreds of millions ...... last year"
Xia Xiang is the largest hidden shareholder of Jiangshan Real Estate, and as soon as Feng Meimei reminded him, he suddenly realized that he was also a rich man.
In the evening, Xia Xiang drove to Wu's house by himself, and asked Xiao Wu to accompany Feng Meimei, Lian Ruohan and Cao Shumu, both as a driver and as a bodyguard.
When he arrived at Wu's house, he came out to greet Wu Caijiang and didn't surprise Xia Xiang, Mei Shengping, who followed Wu Caijiang's side closely, made Xia Xiang stand on the spot for a moment, almost unable to believe his eyes. It wasn't until Mei Shengping came to him with a smile on his face, ignoring the dignity of the dignified deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, and lightly punched him in the shoulder, that he came to his senses and smiled embarrassedly.
After laughing, he understood that in fact, the relationship between the four major families was still more complicated than he imagined, not that the Mei family and the Qiu family had a good relationship, and if they wanted to join forces to deal with the Fu family, the Mei family would not be able to have dealings with the Wu family. It is not that the Wu family and the Fu family get close quickly, so they must draw a clear line with the Mei family and the Qiu family.
Among the four, competition is competition, cooperation is cooperation, and the overall trend is to seek common ground while reserving differences.
However, the recent unprecedented interaction between the four families, as well as the mutual integration and pairing between them, made Xia Xiang understand a grim fact, that is, in this major adjustment of provincial and ministerial-level cadres, on the surface, the Qiu family lost and the Fu family gained power, but if it was not as he expected, it must be that the overall strength of the four major families has declined, the strength of the regimental line has risen, and the civilian family may also attack the city and seize the land, and only the family power has suffered heavy losses.
It was also the unusual interaction during this National Day.
Wu Caijiang's complexion was fine, he saw Xia Xiang, shook his hand, patted Xia Xiang's shoulder again, didn't say anything, and pulled Xia Xiang into the house. Mei Shengping estimated that he drank a lot of wine at noon, and the smell of alcohol, the smile on his face was meaningful, and he didn't know what he was laughing at.
When I arrived at the house, I found that the Wu family was all there, except for Lian Ruohan, all of them were there
Old man Wu sat in the middle, Wu Caihe on the left, Wu Caiyang on the right, Wu Ruotian behind him, and a young man in his early 20s, who should be Wu Caijiang's son Wu Ruojiu.
In addition, Wu Caijiang, who came in with him, was all the family members of the Wu family, the first family of the dynasty
The Wu family's family banquet was so grand, and all of them went out, it was not just as simple as wooing Xia Xiang, but the deeper meaning was that Old Man Wu accepted Xia Xiang's existence as a member of the Wu family in his heart
Because Xia Xiang is the son-in-law of the Wu family who can't be made public, but he is the de facto son-in-law.
Mei Shengping's eyes were complicated, and he had mixed feelings in his heart, and the fact that the Wu family had completely accepted Xia Xiang was a mixed blessing for him.
Xia Xiang, as a dazzling political star among department-level cadres, is rising, not only the prime minister appreciates him very much, and intends to include him in the sphere of influence of the civilian family, I heard that even the regimental department has people inquired about Xia Xiang's political stance and tried to win Xia Xiang to join the regimental system -- although Xia Xiang has no experience in the regimental organization, it does not prevent the high-level of the regimental department from having a good impression and interest in him, but I heard that the regimental department temporarily dismissed the idea of contacting him after learning that Xia Xiang's political stance was swinging between civilians and families.
I heard that the prime minister intended to let Xia Xiang temper in Lang City for another two years, but unexpectedly, Old Man Wu suddenly made a move and transferred Xia Xiang to Tianze City, thus keeping Xia Xiang away from the right and wrong place of Lang City.
Mei Shengping knew the intentions of the Wu family, Tianze City has traditionally been the scope of the family's influence, so Xia Xiang could smoothly transition to the main hall under the protection of the family's forces, and then polish the position of the main hall for a few years, laying a solid foundation for him to smoothly enter the deputy department.
In the past, the high-level personnel were selected from the position of the main hall to enter the provincial and ministerial-level cadre reserves, but now even the deputy departments are being targeted, and it is also because the differences in the governing concepts have intensified, and among the high-level people, contradictions have become prominent on how to govern the country and how to further deepen reform and opening up.
The political concepts of the secretaries and governors of the provinces have matured, and it is impossible to change them, and the department-level cadres are the backbone, especially the substantive cadres of the main department who are the secretaries of the municipal party committee and the mayor, and their governing ideas are not completely set whether they are to the left or to the right, and they are the reserve army of provincial and ministerial-level cadres, especially the outstanding ones, which are even more eye-catching, and they cannot enter the sight of the high-level.
Not to mention that Xia Xiang is not only appreciated by the civilian forces, but also has an unruly entanglement relationship with the family forces, who he leans towards in his political position can not only bring a force to be reckoned with for one faction, but also have great symbolic significance, and the blow to the other faction is also of far-reaching significance.
Therefore, Xia Xiang's **** is not without deep objectivity, but also a kind of conventional thinking under the bidding model, which leads to the fact that the more the civilian forces want Xia Xiang, the more the family forces do not let go, and the more important Xia Xiang is.
Fortunately, what made Mei Shengping very relieved was that Xia Xiang did not get carried away because of this, and was still very calm in the face of the colorful and chaotic situation, which also made him secretly sigh, there is indeed the style of a general, and sure enough, the vision of all forces is the same, Xia Xiang can be favored by all parties, and it is not unrelated to his own excellent quality.
Knowing that the Wu family would accept Xia Xiang sooner or later, but seeing the whole family mobilization of Old Man Wu's family banquet, Mei Shengping thought of Mei Xiaolin again, and still sighed in his heart for no reason.
He came today to have an appointment with Wu Caijiang, and he also intended to convey a message to the outside world, but now he regrets coming a little bit today, and he should stagger the day...... But then something happened that made him glad he had come to the right place today
