Chapter 404: Bridges and Stumbling Blocks

Let Xiang's eyes flash, "I think about Xia Xiang in my heart, I really mature a lot, not only do I complain about being ugly." can also say beautiful things on the surface, whether it is out of the sincerity or not, at least on the big picture, it is impeccable. In an instant, he suddenly had an illusion, feeling that it was a mistake for him to transfer Xia Xia to the provincial party committee, and not only did he not leave him idle. On the contrary, it provided him with a broader stage.

But then he denied his idea of not being confident, although he failed in the last Qiu Xufeng incident, but in the officialdom, it is very normal for you to advance and retreat, and he also keenly seized the opportunity in front of him, that is, Vice Premier He's suggestions were all pressed on Ye Shisheng and Fan Ruiheng. Now that the two of them were tired of dealing with pressure from the top, and it was estimated that they could not be distracted from the internal rectification of the provincial party committee for a while, he took this opportunity to draw together and divide and establish his own alliance.

Any person will think that what they have done is all right, and before they completely fail, they always feel that there is still the possibility of victory, especially when they reach the level of Cui Xiang, their hands and eyes can reach the sky. With a tough backstage at the top and the guarantee of the Fu family, he was very sure that he could gain a firm foothold in the Yan Provincial Party Committee and form his own faction.

After the last Qiu Xufeng incident, he heard that Qiu Xufeng and Fu Duoduo were married, he was scared into a cold sweat, and hurriedly contacted the Fu family, and the reply he got was that marriage is marriage, politics is politics, two different things, the interests that should be fought for, regardless of marriage" Cui Xiangcai put his mind at ease and had a further understanding of the intricate relationship between the big families.

Zhang Jianguo has a good relationship with the Fu family, and is expected to echo Cui Xiang at the Standing Committee. He also suggested that Cui Xiang should cultivate his own strength in the provincial party committee as soon as possible, and at least look for two or three people in the Standing Committee who can help him speak at critical moments. When needed, the Fu family will come forward to help him.

Cui Xiang, who once again got the promise of the Fu family, swept away the frustration of the failure on the Qiu Xufeng incident, and began to look forward to the contact with Zhang Jianguo, and the situation after Fu Xianfeng took office in Yan City, it will definitely develop in the direction of his favor. At the same time, he also heard good news, that is, Lu Yuanyuan, head of the Propaganda Department, may be transferred to a certain province in the northwest to serve as head of the Organization Department, and the vacant position of the Minister of Propaganda may also be taken into the hands of the Fu family.

In this way, he will have at least two alliances in the provincial party committee by then, and he now has a good relationship with Li Bingwen, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, and there is also the possibility of establishing an alliance.

Because now the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee is working independently, and no strong factions have emerged, except for "except for Ma Wanzheng, Song Chaodu, Evil Duantai, Chen Feng, and Mei Shengping."

Ma Wanzheng and Li Chaodu have a slightly closer relationship, while Song Chaodu and Xing Duantai have a good personal relationship, Chen Feng and Ma Wanzheng can still talk, and they have no contact with Song Chaodu, Evil Duantai and Mei Shengping, and Mei Shengping basically has no personal relationship with several people, it stands to reason that there is no possibility of union with the above. But they have a common bond!

Except for Xing Duantai and Xia Xiang, who don't seem to have much contact, several other people have been cheering for Xia Xiang, although they also have their own interests, but if Xia Xiang is used properly in the middle, it is not impossible to unite, at least, they can be consistent in key matters.

Xia Xiang is a crucial bridge!

During the Chinese New Year, the trial stay activity of the nursing home. Although only a few people know about it, no one has spread it to the outside world. But Cui Xiang still had channels to learn the list of leading cadres at the provincial and municipal levels going to the sanatorium, which made him even more vigilant. Xia Xiang, although he is only a department-level cadre at the moment, has become the biggest stumbling block that can hinder his plan!

Cui Xiang knows better that he also voted for Xia Xiang on the issue of Ji Chengsong back then. Although it was forced by the situation, there was also the idea that he was willing to fight Gao Chengsong in order to support Xia. Cui Xiang also thought from this that Xia Xiang could find a fulcrum, find the common interests of everyone to deal with Gao Chengsong, and also unite with Ma Wanzheng, Song Chaodu and others to unite against him.

The dignified deputy secretary of the provincial party committee regards a department-level cadre as a strong opponent, and some people will definitely not believe it or even treat it as a joke when he says it, but Cui Xiang takes this matter very seriously. Xia Xiang usually does not show mountains and water. When something happens to him, the people who stand up for him will spare no effort to support him!

It used to be Chen Feng, but now there are more Song Dynasty degrees and Ma Wanzheng, and even Mei Shengping, how can Xia Xiang be appreciated by so many people, what is he relying on?

Cui Xiang even thought that he could deal with Ye Shisheng openly and secretly, and he could use his wrist to win over Fan Ruiheng. But for Xia Xiang, there is always a feeling that there is nowhere to be used, because Xia Xiang acts steadily, speaks without leakage, and usually seems to be at the mercy of others and is greatly wronged, but he can always take advantage of the situation and leverage the strength, and others come forward to solve the problem, which is completely the effect of four or two thousand dollars.

A person who can't catch the fault, even if he is the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, it is impossible to find trouble, what to do with him. Especially when Cui Xiang's knowledge of Xia wanted to go to the capital to attend Qiu Xufeng's wedding. and Fu Xianfeng met unexpectedly at the wedding, and the Wu family and the Mei family seemed to have a good relationship with him, which surprised him, and raised his vigilance against Xia Xiang. But Cui Xiang also learned one thing from Xia Xiang, that is, the county wants to be just a small department-level cadre, and he can establish a good relationship with several major families. You can definitely get a huge harvest outside the scope of Xia Ji's "sigh".

Since Xia Xiang has a wide range of contacts, as the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, he is more able to combine vertically and horizontally, and use his advantages between major families with ease, and get the support and everything he wants.

Suddenly, Cui Xiang was more determined that he was more correct in transferring Xia Xiang to the provincial party committee, at least he could let Xia Xiang come to report to work at any time with a phone call, and he could also observe his movements at close range, and he could ask him some questions on the side, not believing that he didn't say anything.

And from Xia Xiang, Cui Xiang firmly believes that he can also do the same as Xia Xiang, get the appreciation of the major families, maneuver between various forces with ease, and finally achieve the purpose of being used by me.

"The idea of wanting to stay and work in the provincial party committee is good, and I support you." Cui Xiang smiled lovely, and patted Xia Xiang's shoulder affectionately without seeing anything at all, "I will report more work in the future, don't think that I am the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and it is difficult to approach, when I was in Yan City, even if we met, it can be said that you are also something I have grown up a little by." Don't be inhibited, just say what you think. Within a reasonable range, I will try my best to help you solve the difficulties of work and life. ”

"Thank you, Secretary Cui, thank you." Xia Xiang looked grateful and bent down slightly, "Thank you very much Secretary Cui for your care for me, I will definitely keep it in mind." As for the matter of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation's letter of negotiation, everything is decided by the leaders, and my personal wish is to stay with you. ”

Xia Xiang's attitude was extremely respectful, revealing a flattered expression. "It's not impossible to directly reject the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, but they seem to be very interested in you, and they have sent two letters of negotiation in a row, if you don't give them a convincing statement, I'm afraid it's not good. After all, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation still has to take care of its face, otherwise you should write an ideological report after you go back, and put into words your feelings about working in the provincial party committee and your eagerness to stay in the provincial party committee, and then report it to me for review, and I will send it to the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, so that they can die of their hearts. Cui Xiang unexpectedly made an unnecessary suggestion, he looked at Xia Xiang with a smile on his face, seemingly amiable, but his eyes revealed unquestionable firmness.

Xia Xiang figured it out, Cui Xiang knew very well that it was the Wu family behind the scenes, and also knew that the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation issued a letter of transfer again, not so simply to transfer him to Beijing, but to remind Yan Province that the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, with the support of Vice Premier He, had a very firm attitude, and perhaps wanted to faintly tell Ye Shisheng through this move that the controversy over industrial restructuring was not over yet.

The matter of transferring him to Beijing has changed from a real transfer to a political signal now. Xia Xiang was helpless, although the business investigation letter was not binding, it could not be sent again and again, and it was not the same thing. It seems that Yi Xiangshi is also an interesting person. He reminded Ye Shisheng repeatedly. Is it a sincere reminder, or is it an ulterior motive?

The key is, what is Cui Xiang's intentions? He asked himself to write a report on his experience, saying that it was used to reject the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, but I am afraid that the real purpose is to test himself, is it to take this opportunity to let himself express his loyalty to him in the form of an ideological report?

Xia wanted to be unsure of Cui Xiang's true purpose, but Secretary Cui had to obey it, so he immediately agreed: "I will write it as soon as I go back, and I will report to you as soon as I write it." ”

"Okay, so let's do it first?" Cui Xiang issued an eviction order.

Cui Xiang's real purpose is to report through Xia Xiang's thoughts. Keep him in the provincial party committee. He was also worried that if things changed, Ye Shisheng suddenly changed his hexagram and agreed to let Xia want to leave, he would be very passive. In case this happens, he takes out Xia Xiang's thought book to delay time. Cui Xiang now feels that keeping Xia Xiang by his side is the best choice, first, he can keep an eye on him, and secondly, he can learn from him how to maneuver between the big families.

Xia Xiang nodded and said, "Cui Qi has said goodbye." Then he turned and walked out, and the net came to the door. Suddenly stood again, only to remember what Ye Shisheng wanted him to pass on, and patted his head in annoyance. He also said, "Oh, I met Secretary Ye at the door when I came, and he said let me tell you." It was said that an extraordinary meeting would be convened urgently. But as soon as I reported to you, I forgot about it. ”

Cui Xiang's face changed slightly: "When?" ”

"When I met Secretary Ye, he said an hour later."

Cui Xiang raised his hand and looked at his watch, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, because exactly an hour had passed since Xia Xiang came to the office. was about to get angry, and remembered that he had actually dried Xia Xiang for almost half an hour, and knew that Xia Xiang couldn't be completely blamed, so he waved his hand and asked Xia Xiang to leave without saying anything more.

Xia Xiang could see the anger in his heart from his unkind face, and he said in his heart that there was no way, it was you who wasted your time, and it was not me. He also knew that Cui Xiang would not explain to Ye Shisheng that he was late because of his own reasons, and such a statement of shirking responsibility was not the demeanor that a deputy secretary of the provincial party committee should have. Cui Xiang can only suffer a dumb loss, don't explain anything, and only apologize to everyone is the best thing to do.

After Xia Xiang returned to the office, he finished writing his thought report in a short time. After writing it, he also guessed Cui Xiang's intentions to some extent, and knew that Cui Xiang was still afraid that he would leave the provincial party committee, so he couldn't help but feel funny. Now he wants to stay in the provincial party committee more strongly than ever, not to compete with Cui Xiangyi, but to wait for an opportunity, waiting for Vice Premier He to inspect Yan Province, to see how Ye Shisheng and Fan Ruiheng will choose, and the future of Yan Province. What kind of situation is it?

From the perspective of his own heart, Xia Xiang wanted to look at Yan Province to carry out structural adjustment, because Yan Province only passed through the backward provinces, although it was adjusted, it would inevitably touch the interests of many people, and it would also cause many entanglements of interests, and it might even fail. However, reform and development are all groping forward in the throes of pains, and without the courage to try and the determination to move forward, how can there be any hope for success?

Even if you hit your head and break the bloodstream, you can learn from experience and learn from it, and then break through again, there is always the possibility of success. It's just that he's not in power. There is no influence that can change the decisions of the upper echelons, and at the level of provincial party secretaries and governors, most people will seek stability rather than reform, and would rather have no political achievements during their tenure than change the status quo and cause trouble. Maybe it will end up in disgrace. In the early days of reform, there was no shortage of precedents of failure during the term of office, and the promising prospects that had been expected to go further ended at the provincial level.

And the people of Yan Province have come out of the famous conservative. The competitiveness of enterprises in Yan Province is poor, and there are few high-precision enterprises. Including Yan City, after the pain of the bankruptcy of the cotton imitation factory, no cotton imitation factory came out of the crisis, created ideas, and transformed into a new type of bedding manufacturer, but let the cotton spinning factory from the first to the tenth factory, almost the factory closed.

Yan Province is a famous cotton-producing province, and as a result, cotton flows into Qi Province and the south as a result of the collapse of cotton mills. Subsequently, cotton fabrics from Qi Province and several southern provinces slowly opened up the market and sold well all over the country.

There are countless painful teachings.

I don't know if Ye Shisheng and Fan Ruiheng still have the courage to make a last stand? Xia Xiang is not optimistic about this. But either way. He was sure in his heart that he almost had a way to deal with it.

At lunchtime. Xia Xiang originally went to the canteen with Yang Tianke to eat, and walked to the canteen. unexpectedly met Qian Jinsong at the door of the canteen.

Generally speaking, provincial leaders also come to the canteen to eat occasionally, but rarely, because they have a special small canteen. Unless a leader has a whim, wants to sympathize with the people's feelings, and goes to the masses. Establish a people-friendly image, and then you will come to the canteen to show your face.

Qian Jinsong walked to the door of the cafeteria. Respond kindly to everyone's greetings and be patient. Yang Tianke hesitated, but still greeted Qian Jinsong in front of Xia Xiang.

Xia Xiang didn't care about Yang Tianke's rude move. waited for him to say hello before he said hello to Qian Jinsong. Qian Jinsong only nodded slightly to Yang Tianke. But he smiled at Xia Xiang and asked, "Xiao Xia, is it so coincidental?" I just have something to ask you. Got time or not? ”

If the leader has something, he must have time if he doesn't have time. Xia Xiang hurriedly said: "If you have time, please ask Secretary-General Qian for instructions." ”

Qian Jinsong glanced at the inside of the cafeteria and said, "There are too many people, it's inconvenient to talk, go sit outside?" ”

Xia Xiang stretched out his hand and handed the lunch box to Yang Tianke: "Please ask Director Yang to take it back to the office for me." ”

Yang Tianke hurriedly agreed, looking at Xia Xiang and Qian Jinsong with envy and jealousy, thinking that Xia Xiang didn't know what shit luck he had paid, why did Secretary General Qian have something to find him? Looks like. It's definitely a good thing.

Xia Xiang didn't think that Qian Jinsong had a good thing to find him, so he calmly followed Qian Jinsong to the outside of the provincial party committee compound, until he came to the Lantian Hotel, Qian Jinsong said: "It's noon, how about having a meal together?" ”

The restaurant of Lantian Hotel is the designated restaurant of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, and the usual banquets or gatherings are held in Lantian Hotel. At Qian Jinsong's level, you can sign a bill. Xia Xiang was respectful and obedient: "The leader has the final say." ”

Xia wanted to enter with Qian Jinsong, and the staff saw that Secretary General Qian was coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. Qian Jinsong waved his head slightly and said, "Old place, old rules." ”

The staff has a slightly pointed face and leads the way with their heads in front of them. Xia Xiang thought to himself, it is estimated that the staff remembers every one, the preferences and special rooms of the leaders of the provincial party committee, not only Qian Jinsong, who is at the level of the Standing Committee of the provincial party committee, but also the general vice governor and other cadres at or above the vice provincial level, all have the right to be exempted from orders in the Blue Sky Hotel.

Xia wanted to follow Qian Jinsong through a long road. Listening to the sound of running water on both sides, I came to a very elegant room. The staff opened the door, bent down to invite the two of them in, and left.

After the guest and host sat down, Qian Jinsong first looked at Xia Xiang a few times and smiled: "Young, really young." When I was as old as you, I was still the deputy county magistrate of Wanxian County, and I was also full of ambition. When I think about it now, I still feel the same as yesterday. Everyone is nostalgic for being young, but everyone yearns for higher power, but rarely thinks that higher power will be. It means that the older you are. ”

Xia Xiang also felt the same way about Qian Jinsong's sudden emotion: "You are right, for a person, the most precious things often do not know to cherish, such as time. Time is fair for everyone, but not entirely fair. Some people seize the day, and some people waste their time. ”

Qian Jinsong changed the topic: Long live Xiaoxia this year? ”

"Yes." Xia wanted to answer honestly. Although he knew that Qian Jinsong must have something to do with him, he didn't bother to guess what was going on, so if he couldn't guess, it was better to wait for him to take the initiative to say it.

"The department-level cadres who are not old are also very dazzling in the whole country, and they will continue to do so. Xiao Xia, do you think you will be promoted to the main hall before the blade year? Qian Jinsong asked coldly. PS: That "brothers, let's give a few more monthly passes, it's too little today, so let's pass the old one, okay?" I also want to persuade votes today. I don't know if there is hope? Give some strength. Give some hope, in two days, it will erupt.
