Chapter 718: Mixed Blessings
Heng Yuan's bright heart was full of joy compared to Xia Xiang's mood was very calm, although he received a very important phone call Old man Wu personally called and told him to let him go to the capital tomorrow, Lian Ruohan mother and son were going to fly to the United States, let him come to see him off.
Even Ruohan was going to the United States to deal with company affairs, which was a few days later than originally planned, and Xia Xiang had already planned to go to the capital to see him off. But the exact date of going abroad was a call from Mr. Wu, not a call from Lian Ruohan, Xia Xiang knew that the old man had something to do with him and wanted to meet him.
The timing seems to be mysterious, in fact, it is related to the final appointment of the mayor of Yan City and the secretary general of the provincial party committee, Xia Xiang also heard the news, this morning, the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee came forward to talk to Fu Xianxian, in order to Fu Xianfeng to take over the appointment of the mayor, which is equivalent to the first step of the established procedure.
The organization department came forward to talk, that is. Fu Xianxian's appointment as mayor is a sure fact. There won't be any more changes.
At the same time, the provincial party committee also received a notice from the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee that the appointment of the secretary general of the provincial party committee had been notified to the provincial party committee, and the appointment procedure had been initiated, which would be officially announced to the public when the time was ripe.
Although Qiu Xufeng and Mei Shengping never said in person who the candidate for the secretary general of the provincial party committee was, Xia Xiang still smiled with satisfaction after receiving the news from the provincial party committee, and as he guessed, it was Wang Pengfei, the former deputy secretary of the Yan Municipal Party Committee and Wang Linjie's uncle!
The last time I met with Wang Linjie to contact the relationship, it was Xia Xiang's advance amount, in order to re-establish a relationship with Wang Pengfei, although since Wang Pengfei served as the secretary of the Shuiheng Municipal Party Committee, Xia Xiang and him have less and less contact, although there are, it is just a phone call during the New Year's holidays. The relationship is relatively distant.
is also related to the fact that the personal relationship between him and Wang Pengfei is not close enough, even with Wang Linjie as the bridge in the middle, there is a sense of distance and strangeness.
Fortunately, the last meeting with Wang Linjie was quite successful, and later Wang Linjie also called, implicitly saying that Wang Pengfei thanked Xia Xiang for taking care of him all the time, which made Xia Xiang breathe a sigh of relief and knew that the relationship between him and Wang Pengfei was repaired. A welcome first step.
Although Xia Xiang finally guessed the candidate for the secretary general of the provincial party committee after a series of events and detailed analysis and comparison, he was still surprised by Wang Pengfei's deep hiding, and at the same time had a deeper understanding of the Qiu family, so he came to a conclusion that sometimes the tentacles of the family power cannot be simply analyzed from the surface of the sphere of influence, in fact, Xu Ben and the family forces have no intersection with the figures, in the face of a major promotion, it is also possible to change positions and become a member of the family forces.
Whether Wang Pengfei joined the Qiu family temporarily, or whether he had a secret relationship with the Qiu family early on, Xia Xiang did not know, and he had no intention of finding out. It's good to know some things, you don't necessarily have to get to the bottom of it, asking too much will cause the double disgust of the Qiu family and Wang Pengfei, Xia Xiang will not do stupid things.
Fortunately, the relationship between him and Wang Pengfei was quite reasonable, and there was a good past, Wang Pengfei served as the secretary general of the provincial party committee, which was good news for him, far better than a stranger parachuted directly from the capital from the Qiu family. Because of the past, there is no need to try to get close to Wang Pengfei, and there is a direct basis for cooperation.
Not to mention the relationship between Wang Linjie, that is, the relationship between him and Qiu Xufeng, and on the issue of the selection of the secretary general of the provincial party committee, he has played a certain role in promoting, whether Wang Pengfei is standing on his own position, or because of Wang Linjie, or because of the Qiu family, he will have a natural affinity with himself.
Compared with Qian Jinsong's appointment, it will have a subtle impact on the pattern of Yan Province, and it will also indirectly bring changes to the political situation of Yan City, which will further affect the situation in Xia Ma District.
Political matters have always been related to the whole body, and there has never been an isolated incident. Xia Xiang thinks that he is quite good for Wang Pengfei's character, and in his opinion, after Wang Pengfei takes office, it is the top priority to have a good relationship with Ye Shisheng. As the secretary general, he has the most contact with the secretary of the provincial party committee in his work, and if he is not trusted by the secretary of the provincial party committee, his prestige will be greatly reduced.
I believe that with Wang Pengfei's political wisdom, he and Ye Shisheng should have a good start. Thinking of the good relationship between Wang Pengfei and Cheng Dacai back then, Cheng Dacai and Ye Shisheng were also close contacts, maybe Wang Pengfei and Ye Shisheng had already cooperated.
The current situation is that the candidates for the secretary general of the provincial party committee and the mayor of Yan City have been finalized, and on the surface, Yan Province and Yan City are not alarmed, but in fact, they secretly do not know how many people's nerves have been affected. Even if Xia Xiang knew the candidate for a long time, when he really entered the appointment stage, he still felt a touch in his heart.
On the surface, the provincial and municipal leaders seemed a little far away from him. In fact, it is still his vital interests, and he has to pay attention to it at all times.
If the appointment of the secretary general of the provincial party committee and the mayor of Yan City is completely settled today, then the timing of Mr. Wu's choice of calling is quite intriguing. It stands to reason that even Ruohan went abroad, and he couldn't afford to call his old man to ask him to see him off, but the old man's actions actually told him unmistakably that he should go to the capital, ostensibly to see him off, but secretly he may still have something to talk to him about.
Xia Xiang didn't want to talk to the old man a little. Because he could almost guess the purpose of the old man's search for him, it was nothing more than to pull him into the Buxi camp, and he couldn't give him the answer he wanted.
What makes Xia Xiang the most fortunate is that Wu Caiyang doesn't care how cold he is, Lian Ruohan has never asked him for anything because of the Wu family's affairs, and has never proposed to let him join the core system of the Wu family, it is precisely because of this that Xia Xiang is very grateful to Lian Ruohan for his deep understanding of righteousness, because if Lian Ruohan opens his mouth to persuade him, it will really make him in a dilemma.
The words of the most important woman in his life were lethal and influential enough for him, even if they violated his principles, he had to make some concessions to Lian Ruohan. Fortunately, Lian Ruohan never spoke.
Let Xia Xiang secretly thank Lian Ruohan, Lian Ruohan is really the most treasured treasure in his life.
He didn't want to meet with Old Man Wu, but he had to meet again, because he had to go to see Lian Ruohan off. But what can you say when you meet the old man? Xia Xiang couldn't help but feel a little worried, he also had some feelings for the old man, if it weren't for Wu Caiyang who had always been cold to him, with the relationship between him and the old man now, and the friendship between him and Wu Caijiang, the Wu family would have almost reached an understanding with him now.
It's just that "Wu Caiyang is in the middle." sealed the way for peaceful exchanges between him and the Wu family.
Let's talk about it then" Xia Xiang made up his mind, in his imagination, the ideal state between him and the Wu family is that he can talk to the old man, he can talk to Wu Caijiang, and he can talk about work with Wu Caiyang, and other aspects. There is no more extravagance.
Seeing that it was not early, it was time to get off work, Xia Xiang packed up his things, and was about to leave when Jin Hongxin knocked on the door and came in. "Leader, Minister Mu and District Mayor Li have been in a lot of contacts recently, they meet almost every day, and they talk for a long time behind closed doors, and many directors who used to have close contacts with Secretary Bai now report to District Mayor Li every day. The movement is not small, Jin Hongxin has a worried face, since the news that Fu Xianfeng is going to serve as mayor, there have been a lot of changes in Xiama District, and today the news from the municipal party committee has officially arrived, and the rumors of Fu Xianfeng serving as mayor have been implemented, and the changes are even more obvious.
Of course, all the changes are developing in a way that is not conducive to Xia Xiang, so Jin Hongxin is particularly worried, worried that there will be a confrontation between the district chief faction headed by Li Han and the secretary faction led by Xia Xiang in Xiama District again.
Xia Xiang knows very well that the wind and grass in the dismount area are changing, people's hearts are changeable, they can't be controlled, and there is no need to worry too much, people's hearts come and go, and small people are also ever-changing, but what remains unchanged is eternal interests. He also knew that it was impossible for him to win everyone's favor, Bai Zhanmo's original forces were wary of him, and some of them he didn't look down on, and it was reasonable that they all reunited under Li Han's door in the end.
However, he still gave enough affirmation to Jin Hongxin's meticulousness and enthusiasm: "Hongxin's observation is very meticulous, and the work is also in place, and I will use my main energy on work in the future." Other things, when encountered, keep them in mind, and don't have to do them deliberately
Jin Hongxin heard the meaning of Xia Xiang's words, knowing that Xia Xiang was not very worried about the redivision of forces in the dismount area, and Xia Xiang's composure and confidence gave him great comfort, he nodded and said: "I know what to do, I will closely follow the footsteps of the leader and contribute my greatest strength." ”
Before Jin Hongxin left, Xia Xiang's phone rang again, it was Mei Shengping calling.
Mei Shengping directly gave Xia Xiang a piece of news that was not too good: "Xiao Xia, Li Dingshan's matter of taking over as deputy secretary is a bit troublesome. ”
Mei Shengping rarely talked about trouble, his tone today was very formal, and he didn't mean to joke at all, which surprised Xia Xiang: "What's the problem, Minister Mei?"
Cui Xiang nominated the candidate for deputy secretary, Secretary Ye nodded, even if Li Dingshan passed my nomination, he would not be able to pass the secretary's office meeting. Assuming that Governor Fan and I both support Li Dingshan, there are two of them. Maybe, one was vetoed by Secretary Ye on the spot at the secretary's office meeting, and the other was that he barely went to the Standing Committee, but was vetoed by the Standing Committee. Rather than nominating to be a foil, it is better not to nominate well. Mei Shengping is still quite concerned about Xia Xiang's affairs, and also gave pertinent opinions.
Sure enough, Ye Shisheng's attitude is getting tougher and tougher, and his position is becoming more and more inclined to Cui Xiang, which is not a good sign, Xia Xiangwei sighed: "I'll discuss it with Secretary-General Li and Governor Song again, thank you Minister Mei for your intentions." ”
Mei Jingping smiled: "It's not enough to get a mouthful, take some action, I still have one." Good advice can be used for your reference
Talking about conditions again? Xia Xiang also smiled: "What does Minister Mei want to see me do?"
"This" Mei Shengping suddenly hesitated, paused for a while, and then said, "It's not easy to speak."
Xia couldn't help but be surprised, Mei Shengping still had a bad time to speak? He has always talked to himself, and he has never been embarrassed, but as soon as he hesitated today, he immediately understood something, and it was probably related to Mei Xiaolin.
Xia Xiang took the initiative to ask: "Is it Xiaolin's matter?" ”
"Look, I knew you could guess, forget it, I'll just say it directly, if you promise to be Meiting's godfather, I'll do Li Dingshan a favor, show him a clear way, and help him get around
Xia Xiang was embarrassed, a dignified member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Minister of Organization, and even put forward a ridiculous quid pro quo in a rogue tone, so that outsiders could listen to it, "He Kehui laughed off and covered up Shengping is Mei Shengping, he didn't care about the other four, he thought of doing it."
In all fairness, Xia Xiang doesn't care whether he has feelings for Mei Xiaolin or not, he always has a trace of guilt and guilt for Mei Ting, although it is really not his fault that Mei Ting's birth is born, but she is his biological daughter after all. Blood is thicker than water, and he now has two sons, which makes his father's love overflowing, and he feels that Mei Ting is much more pitiful than Lian Xia and Xia Xiang, and being her godfather can be regarded as giving her spiritual comfort.
Besides, since Mei Shengping said that he wanted to help Li Dingshan for a ride, he must not be a mouthful, he must have a suitable position and an exact certainty. Regardless of whether Mei Shengping deliberately pinched him, or pushed the boat down the river to let him be Mei Ting's godfather, he has no way back now, because it is equal to Li Dingshan's future. Indirectly in his hands.
If he doesn't agree, Mei Shengping may really not help Li Dingshan.
Xia Xiang smiled helplessly: "Minister Mei, as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and a dignified provincial leader, how can you take the trivial matter of recognizing your godfather and link it to the future of a department-level cadre, it's too child's play."
"In my eyes, Meiting has a godfather who makes her happy, which is much more important than Li Dingshan's future, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know who Li Dingshan was, and would I care about his future? . It's not good, but it's the truth, it's the truth.
Mei Shengping really doesn't care who Li Dingshan is, and he won't take the initiative to care about Li Dingshan's future, in his eyes. Mei Xiaolin is bigger than the sky, Mei Ting is bigger than the sky, "Mei Ting is older now, and she always asks Xiaolin who her father is, Xiaolin lied to her and said that her father is far away in the sky, so she is not happy, so she has to find her father." Come to think of it, you're the best fit to be her godfather. You and Xiaolin know each other and are familiar with each other
Xia Xiang was afraid that Mei Shengping would say anything superfluous. Hurriedly responded: "Okay, I promise, I promise, tomorrow I will go to the capital, I will stop by to see Xiaolin, and then recognize my goddaughter." ”
"Hehe, good, being neat is the true character of a man, and you have to dare to be bold to be courageous." Mei Shengping's words were heard in Xia Xiang's ears, and there was always a feeling of changing taste, as if he was always hinting at something, Xia Xiang had to pretend not to understand and not answer.
Mei Shengping saw that Xia didn't want to be fooled, so he smiled and said his arrangement: "Wang Pengfei has been promoted to the secretary general of the provincial party committee, and Mayor Shui Heng has taken over as secretary, and the mayor's position is vacant." I made concessions, through Cui Xiang's nomination of deputy secretary, and then through Fan Ruiheng's nomination of the secretary general of the municipal party committee, they also had to make concessions accordingly, through my nomination of Shuiheng mayor
Politics is a game of you retreating and giving in, Mei Shengping is a well-known stubble in the provincial party committee, if he speaks very well once, others will have to give face accordingly. Moreover, Li Dingzhi. As soon as he left, Yan City was tantamount to giving up one more candidate for the secretary general of the municipal party committee, and under the exchange of interests, it was still possible to take what they needed, and it was very likely to pass.
However, listening to what Mei Shengping said, the candidates for the secretary general of the municipal party committee are all available, it can be seen that Li Dingshan's position is bound to move, Mei Shengping is just pushing the boat down the river and selling a favor along the water, but he took the opportunity to coerce him to be Mei Ting's godfather, is it really unreasonable? Xia Xiang smiled dumbly. can be regarded as seeing Mei Shengping's tricky side again. Fan Ruiheng even implemented the candidate for the secretary general of the municipal party committee, and Mei Shengping also used it to talk about it, Xia Xiang smiled: "Minister Mei, your favor is also a little too expensive."
That being said, Xia Xiang also knew that if Mei Shengping couldn't pass the level, it would also be a troublesome thing. Even if Fan Ruiheng wants Li Dingshan to give way and let his people take the position of secretary general of the municipal party committee, Mei Shengping does not propose to let Li Dingshan serve as the mayor of Shuiheng in exchange, and he may arrange a bad position for Li Dingshan. Of course, it is better for the provincial party committee to have Song Chaodu in it, and without Song Chaodu, it is not impossible to directly throw Li Dingshan to a certain provincial department as the director.
Li Dingshan's departure from Yan City was a mixed blessing for Xia Xiang. Happily, Li Dingshan finally took a gratifying step and became the mayor of the ruling party. Although Shuiheng City is a small city, it is not important that the city is big or small, the important thing is that Li Dingshan has the experience of mayor, and if he serves as the secretary of the municipal party committee for another term, he may enter the threshold of the sub-provincial level.
The worry is that Li Dingshan left Yan City, Xia Xiang's relationship network opened a gap in Yan City, a very critical gap, plus Fu Xianfeng served as the mayor, which is equivalent to greatly weakening his connections in Yan City!
But it is a great good thing for Li Dingshan's personal future, Xia Xiang can't secretly obstruct Li Dingshan's progress out of his own selfishness, on the contrary, he must fully support Li Dingshan in line with his principles of life.
Mei Shengping saw that Xia Xiang heard the loophole in his words, and laughed: "When Shunshui favors are also worth a thousand gold," Okay, see Xiaolin tomorrow and tell her for me, let her work hard, and one day she will become a rare female high-ranking official in China."
After completing a transaction with Mei Shengping, Xia Xiang sat alone in the office, was silly for a while, and then called Song Chaodu.
Song Chaodu was also surprised by the sudden change, and after calming down, he also had a favorable attitude towards Li Dingshan going to Shuiheng City to serve as mayor. Subsequently, Xia Xiang called Li Dingshan again and told him the good news.
