The beautiful scenery of Siming Mountain is a famous tourist attraction in northern Liaoning Province, and it is only 30 kilometers away from the spring city with superior traffic conditions, which makes it the first place for many spring city residents to come for vacation and play.

Siming Mountain Scenic Area is surrounded by mountains and rivers, in addition to the general tourist attractions open to the public, the Provincial Veteran Cadres Bureau also has a sanatorium with superior conditions here.

Retiring from the position of secretary of the Chuncheng Municipal Party Committee, Xia Wang held a position as deputy director of the Provincial People's Congress.

Compared with the previous princes who were in power, Xia Wang, who was idle in the provincial people's congress, obviously felt extremely uncomfortable.

As the saying goes, if you are not in your position, you can't seek your own politics, seeing that the current high-level of Chuncheng, where she has worked for decades, is caught in an evenly matched power game, and her own opinions are not taken seriously, Xia Wang simply ignored them and turned a blind eye to all these troubles in his heart.

After occasionally coming to the sanatorium here of the old cadres of Siming Mountain, Xia Wang immediately liked the tranquility and indifference under the beautiful scenery here.

Originally, after many years of hard work, his body had some old diseases, and before the Spring Festival was over, he moved from the noisy urban area to the Simingshan Scenic Area to cultivate his self-cultivation.

Xia Wang, who retired from the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, is also a senior provincial cadre in Liaobei Province, and it is definitely unrealistic to say that there is no trace of pride in his heart. However, when I met a few old leaders of Xia Wang in the sanatorium, even if Xia Wang was already a gray-haired sixty-year-old man, he still had to smile in front of the old leader.

In a country like Huaxia that pays attention to seniority, Xia Wang quickly adapted to this psychological change, not to mention that although the old leader was not as good as he mixed later, the level of being able to live in the sanatorium of the provincial veteran cadres bureau was naturally not low.

When he met the old leaders and colleagues he worked with in the sanatorium, Xia Wang, who was somewhat depressed, seemed to be much younger and returned to the era of the passionate years in the past.

With this relaxed day of chatting, playing chess, and even climbing mountains and playing together, Xia Wang had long forgotten the things that he was worried about before in Spring City.

Pleasant and relaxed days always pass quickly, but when I was playing bridge with a few old friends in the nursing home on this day, several high-end black cars drove in silently, breaking the peaceful life here.

"Secretary Xia is good, a few old leaders are good!" Guan Peng, who looked pretty good, was holding two gift boxes in his hands, and stood in front of Xia Wang and the others with a smile.

Xia Wang looked at Jiang Shangwu who got out of the other car strangely, and chuckled, "When did you two get together?" ”

Guan Peng coughed dryly, feeling a little uncomfortable with the old leader's seemingly intentional ridicule.

Guan Peng was picked up by Xia Wang, and he was one of the representatives of the young Zhuang faction in the Dong family.

Although Jiang Shangwu is also a famous young Zhuang faction of the Dong family, the two had unhappiness with each other when they were young, even if the two of them were vigorously cultivated and grown up in the Dong family's faction later, the relationship between the two of them has always been very ordinary.

Jiang Shangwu came to Spring City from the province, which was the most important step in his career for him.

From the deputy department level of an ordinary department and bureau in Liaobei Province to a cadre at the department level in Chuncheng, especially the head of the organization department in charge of personnel, it can be said that the momentum of Jiang Shangwu's follow-up development at the age of 46 this year is worth looking forward to.

Guan Peng benefited from Xia Wang's attention and training, and was promoted to a department-level cadre two years earlier than Jiang Shangwu, especially the throne of the deputy secretary of the Chuncheng Municipal Party Committee, which had a great opportunity to directly sit on the throne of the secretary of the Chuncheng Municipal Party Committee.

The backbone of the two Dong families is of similar age and strength, so it can be said that if any one of them has an accident, it will be an unacceptable loss for the Dong family, whose strength has been seriously affected.

The relationship between Guan Peng and the two is very clear to Xia Wang, and this time he saw these two guys who were a little bit of a bad guy coming to the sanatorium together, Xia Wang's first reaction was that something big had happened.

Compared with Xia Wanglai, who had just retired and still had a lot of influence, the old people next to him were much more idle.

"Xiao Xia, you're a guest, then we'll find time to play!" A few players who had just gotten together took the initiative to leave the road for face.

Xia Wang got up apologetically and said, "The old leader walks slowly!" ”

Guan Peng and Jiang Shangwu also congratulated each other with a smile on their faces, these old cadres who are old but still cannot be underestimated.

"There's tea over there, pour it yourself!"

Xia Wang was not polite to the two little characters in front of him, sat back on the soft and comfortable sofa, lit a cigarette and said in a puff of fog: "It's rare for the two of you to visit me together, let's say, is there something that is difficult to solve?" ”

Compared with Jiang Shangwu, he was somewhat restrained, and Guan Peng was much more relaxed.

got up to make a cup of strong tea for everyone, glanced at Jiang Shangwu, who wanted to speak and stopped, Guan Peng said with a smile: "Secretary Xia, the situation in Chuncheng is a bit complicated now, I won't tell you, the following thoughts are a little confused, I discussed it with Lao Jiang and the two, and I always feel that if this matter cannot be handled well, it will greatly affect our morale." ”

"Yes, Secretary Xia, the momentum of economic development in Chuncheng is certainly gratifying, but the appearance of the upper echelons will definitely cause great internal friction if it goes on for a long time."

Jiang Shangwu carefully organized his words, observed Xia Wang's reaction and said slowly: "Especially if we can't continue to think like this within ourselves, otherwise if we are really broken by others, the good situation that Secretary Xia has easily built up will be in vain." ”

Xia Wang's addiction to smoking is not small, smoking a cigarette in a big gulp, obviously he reacted violently to the statement of Guan Peng and the others.

Xia Wang knows the current situation in Chuncheng very well, and the scenes that happened on the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, he actually still has his own judgment in his heart.

It's just that he didn't think that it was not him who made the decision to make the joint family planning and economics in the first place, and on the basis of safeguarding the greater interests of the Dong family, there were some things that Xia Wang could only agree to against his will, even if he knew that it was inappropriate.

Xia Wang's stay in Spring City is not short, and he is very affectionate towards every grass and tree in Spring City, and he is absolutely unwilling to see such a basic plate of the Dong family given up so easily.

If he was only worried about it before, then now the form of the evolution of the power framework in Spring City is developing more and more in the direction he does not want to see.

Unlike Guan Peng and Jiang Shangwu, who had a grudge against the somewhat aggressive young mayor, Xia Wang regarded the Nan family, who was about to move, as his biggest opponent from beginning to end.

The Dong family gave up the position of the most sought-after secretary of the municipal party committee in Chuncheng to the Department of Planning and Economics, and the Nan family took advantage of the situation to take the position of executive vice mayor, which is very critical.

On the surface, the purpose of the Nan family to win the position of executive vice mayor seems to be directly aimed at the young mayor, but the old and spicy Xia Wang will not look at the problem so superficially.

The conflict between the Nan family and the young mayor was clearly seen by Xia Wang and even the Dong family.

Unlike the rest of the Dong family who think that the best way to take the moment is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, Xia Wang always believes that maintaining a good relationship with the thriving Chen family is far better than this posture of harming others and not benefiting himself.

It's a pity that in the face of the huge bait thrown by the Department of Planning and Economics that the Dong family couldn't refuse at all, even if Xia Wang was sensible, he understood that there were some things that he really had more than enough heart and not enough power.

"Shangwu, tell me what you think!"

Xia Wang looked at Jiang Shangwu who was sitting in a precarious position with burning eyes, he knew a little bit what Guan Peng thought, the key was that this stalwarts who were not in line with his own ideas within the faction, what was his idea now.

"I communicated with Secretary Guan and thought that it was a bit inappropriate for us to adopt a one-sided approach of fully supporting the Department of Planning and Economics."

Jiang Shangwu's eyelids drooped, and he said in a deep voice: "Today's Spring City is intertwined, and no one side has an absolute advantage, and in the long run, the real threat to us is actually the Nan family. ”

"Oh? So how are you going to treat Chen Youwei? Xia Wang glanced at Guan Peng and the others with deep eyes, and asked very sharply.

"Mayor Chen is young and promising, especially in the economic ability is very strong, in today's Spring City almost all of the energy is focused on economic development, can not handle the relationship with this young mayor well, that is obviously a very bad policy!" Taking a deep breath, Jiang Shangwu groaned.

Xia Wang chuckled, "This doesn't seem to be the same as what you thought before!" ”

Guan Peng said with a wry smile: "Secretary Xia, at this time and that time, at that time, we wanted to take advantage of the east wind of the system of economics, but I didn't expect that Jiang Zhenbang was really a little rotten and couldn't support the wall, so a good hand of cards made him confused." ”

"It's not too late to make amends!"

Extinguishing the cigarette butt in his hand, Xia Wang's bright and sharp eyes swept over the two small characters in front of him like the most dazzling stars, and sighed: "From the beginning, you have been a little too contemptuous of Chen Youwei's ability to excel as a young man, whether you admit it or not, maybe in your hearts you think that he is a young man at most by virtue of his courage to make some achievements." ”

Guan Peng and the others looked ashamed and nodded again and again.

"Then do you mean to choose a side again and stand on Chen Youwei's side?" Xia Wang took two sips of fragrant tea and asked quietly.

Guan Peng and Jiang Shangwu glanced at each other, and said in a firm tone: "No matter what, our foundation in Spring City is still very solid, and I and Lao Jiang think that it is better to take me as the main and use Jiang Zhenbang and Chen Youwei as the middle force to strengthen the strategy!" ”

Xia Wang squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Jiang Shangwu.

Jiang Shangwu nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yes, only by combining vertical and horizontal is the only way out for us now, and being too biased towards any side is a disadvantageous choice for us!" ”

With a soft "snap", Xia Wang patted the back of the sofa chair, his eyes were glowing with excitement, and he nodded heavily: "Being able to think of these shows that you still have some brains!" Just do what you say! ”

With the support of Xia Wang's old qualifications, Guan Jiang and the others were very excited.

"You have finally come to your senses! I am very pleased to be able to cooperate sincerely regardless of previous suspicions! ”

Xia Wang shook his head with emotion and sighed: "From this moment on, I will really let go of my heart and take care of my self-cultivation and self-cultivation!" ”
