Xiang Cheng did not get angry or rejected the application. To everyone's expectations, he agreed so easily to allocate Lin Jiajiao to Binhai. Xiang Cheng ended the Standing Committee peacefully, although he was not peaceful in his heart.

Many people are as uneasy as Xiang Cheng. If they choose the most uneasy one, it must be Gong Huanshan. Gong Huanshan was angry because of Zhang Yang's application, nervous because of Jiang Honggang's speech, and panic because of Xiang Cheng's attitude. He began to realize that his future was not a smooth road, and the steps he was about to step forward seemed to have changed.

Xiang Cheng knew that Gong Huanshan would come to find him. After returning to his office, he ordered his secretary to make tea and wait for Gong Huanshan to arrive.

Nearly an hour after the meeting, Gong Huanshan came slowly, which was later than Xiang Cheng expected. This was not that Gong Huanshan was calm enough, but that he had to spend some time digesting the content of the meeting. He needed to think clearly what to do? He needed to guess Jiang Honggang's intentions carefully and come up with solutions.

Xiang Cheng smiled and said, "Return to the Mountain!" He has always been very good to Gong Huanshan, and he never hides his idea of ​​supporting Gong Huanshan. It is normal for Xiang Cheng to have such an idea. Any leader hopes that an obedient subordinate will take over his rank.

This one hour is enough for Gong Huanshan to calm down his inner emotions. If he had been full of confidence in his successor to the Secretary of the Beigang Municipal Party Committee, then his confidence has been greatly reduced. Although Xiang Cheng is the Secretary of the Beigang Municipal Party Committee, his power is not enough to be appointed to a successor. Of course, if Xiang Cheng is willing to persuade Mr. Xue to come forward for himself, that would be another matter. However, after this series of incidents, Gong Huanshan found that Xiang Cheng's influence was constantly weakening, not only within the leadership of the Beigang, but also on Mr. Xue's side. At least he knew that Mr. Xue was not worse than Mr. Xiang Cheng's treatment of Zhang Yang.

Gong Huanshan nodded with a smile, and Xiang Cheng pointed to the lounge next door. Gong Huanshan and Xiang Cheng walked in together. The two of them came to the chicken-weed wood tea sea placed by the window in the lounge. This set of tea sea was given to Xiang Cheng as a gift.

Xiang Cheng said: "Sit!"

The two sat down opposite each other. Gong Huanshan skillfully picked up the teapot and filled the tea cup in front of Xiang Cheng. Xiang Cheng picked up the tea cup and took a sip of the tea. After waiting for too long, the tea was soaked a little thicker. Xiang Cheng frowned slightly.

Gong Huanshan drank the strong tea in the teacup in one sip. He whispered: "It's a bit bitter!"

Xiang Cheng smiled and said meaningfully: "Do you mean tea or mood?"

Gong Huanshan also laughed, and Xiang Cheng, who knew others. The tacit understanding formed by the two in their long-term cooperation was not comparable to others. Gong Huanshan never doubted Xiang Cheng's support for him, but he still did not understand Xiang Cheng's performance at the Standing Committee today. Faced with Jiang Honggang's attack and Huang Bucheng and Chen Gang's fanning flames, Xiang Cheng did not make any resistance. What was the abacus in Secretary Xiang's mind? Gong Huanshan said: "This tea is quite in line with my current mood."

Xiang Cheng said: "It's changed!"

Gong Huanshan shook his head, drank another glass, and whispered: "I really want to allocate the 200 million yuan?"

Xiang Cheng said: "Do you really don't understand? Why do I agree to Zhang Yang's application?"

Gong Huanshan said: "Actually, the 200 million will be allocated to Binhai sooner or later. As for the land in Linjiajiao, it is not the same who will develop it. Although the bonded area is built in Binhai, Binhai is also an integral part of Beigang, and my vision is not that narrow-minded."

Xiang Cheng smiled and said, "Then why are you feeling bitter?"

Gong Huanshan knew that Xiang Cheng asked knowingly. Compared to Zhang Yang's application, Jiang Honggang's attitude was a big problem. Gong Huanshan was worried that Jiang Honggang had endangered his future. Now Jiang Honggang suddenly became high-profile. And he formed cliques and established himself as a leader within the leadership of Beigang. He was very prepared to challenge Xiang Cheng. Xiang Cheng could not see it. Gong Huanshan said: "I suddenly felt that Mi Wang was getting stronger and I don't know where the future of Beigang should go?"

Xiang Cheng said: "The future of Beigang depends on how you do it. I still have a year left, after the time comes. I plan to retreat completely."

Gong Huanshan said: "Secretary Xiang, how could you have such an idea? You still have to make use of your remaining energy for our party's cause."

Xiang Cheng smiled and said, "Everyone will turn around when the earth leaves. When I saw Secretary Gu a few days ago, I had this idea. How old is Secretary Gu's cadre? He said he would just retreat. This is how able to take it and let it go. If it is time to reach the point and continue to stay here and take a place, then what else should our country's retirement system do? Do young people still have a chance?"

Gong Huanshan said: "The experience of the old comrade is a valuable asset."

"No matter how good the experience is, it only belongs to the past, but it is just a summary of past achievements to a certain extent. Thousands of sails pass by the sunken boat, and the future is full of unknowns. It is impossible to judge how the future will develop based on experience alone. The future belongs to you, and it belongs to the young and strong generation, and I am already old."

Xiang Cheng's words made Gong Huanshan feel frustrated. If Xiang Cheng loses his fighting spirit, he will suffer the greatest loss. Gong Huanshan's confidence is being consumed bit by bit. Because of this, he feels the increasing pressure from Jiang Honggang. If this continues, one will rise and fall, and he really has no chance of winning in the competition with Jiang Honggang.

Xiang Cheng changed the subject: "We state cadres must first remember that we should put the word public first in everything. When doing business, we should not put personal grudges in our hearts. If the selfish thoughts in our hearts take the initiative, then their behavior will involuntarily deviate."

Gong Huanshan didn't understand what Xiang Cheng said for a moment, and looked at Xiang Cheng with some confusion. He didn't know whether Xiang Cheng's words were educating himself or talking about others.

Xiang Cheng said: "People are prone to lose themselves in the face of power, becoming high-profile in low-key and arrogant in forbearance. For power, many people will take advantage of it at any cost, but everything in this world has a price. Before making a decision, the consequences must be considered. Similarly, everyone must keep their own bottom line. If others violate this bottom line, you don't need to tolerate it. If others do not think that your cultivation is good enough, it will only encourage his arrogance. What he needs to do next is to be more aggressive."

Gong Huanshan's eyes lit up. Xiang Cheng's direction was quite clear. These words were also very domineering. But thinking about his performance at the Standing Committee today, Gong Huanshan was a little confused. Which words did Secretary Xiang come from the heart? Gong Huanshan dared not answer easily. Before he could figure out Xiang Cheng's true intention, it was not convenient for him to speak rashly.

Xiang Cheng said: "Returning to the mountain, you are humble and have a good mass base."

Gong Huanshan said modestly: "I remember Secretary Xiang said that we are from ordinary people, and we cannot forget our duties just because we have an official position."

Gong Huanshan's words of pleasing did not resonate with Xiang Cheng. Xiang Cheng seemed to have not heard his words, and continued according to his own ideas: "The mass base is certainly an important factor, but it is by no means the whole of the political base. If you want to take a step forward in the officialdom, you must gain the recognition of leaders and colleagues. A humble and low-key cadre may give people the impression of being close to the people, but if you don't grasp the degree well, it will leave people with the impression of cowardice and incompetence. Therefore, you must know how to look at the weather as an official."

Xiang Cheng paused for a moment, took a sip of tea, looked out the window sideways and said, "When will the sky be clear, when will the clouds be covered, when will the rain be pouring, when will the drizzle be drizzled, when will the thunder be thunder, when will the snow be snowed, in fact, people's faces are much richer and more colorful than the weather."

Gong Huanshan listened respectfully to every word from Xiang Cheng. Although he understood these principles, he was self-aware that his political cultivation was not enough. Xiang Cheng had to be much more experienced than him. These tips from Xiang Cheng were extremely precious wealth for him. Gong Huanshan wanted to ask in his heart, when should the sky be clear? When should the thunderstorm be mixed? The recent situation has been confusing, which made him hesitate a little.

Xiang Cheng had long seen Gong Huanshan's hesitation. He put the empty tea cups on the sea of ​​tea. Gong Huanshan hurriedly filled him with new tea. In front of Xiangcheng, Gong Huanshan was obviously holding the etiquette of his disciples.

Xiang Cheng enjoyed Gong Huanshan's respect for himself very much. Although he knew that as his status changes, his mentality would change, he was still willing to choose the former by putting Gong Huanshan and Jiang Honggang together. Xiang Cheng said: "There is an old saying that goes back to the mountain. Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. Comrade Hong Gang is in a good position recently." Xiang Cheng has made the words clear.

Hearing this, Gong Huanshan's heart felt as painful as a needle. Jiang Honggang now felt like a thorn in his throat. He didn't vomit. He not only wanted to spit out this foreign object, but also stepped on a hateful step and crushed it. Gong Huanshan said, "Secretary Xiang, I didn't want to hurt the harmony."

Xiang Cheng said: "Only harmony brings wealth, there is no reason to be harmonious and promoted!"

Gong Huanshan nodded and said, "I know what to do."

Xiang Cheng took a sip of tea and felt that the taste of the tea became much weaker. He noticed that there were many hatred factors floating in Gong Huanshan's eyes. He knew that Gong Huanshan was definitely not targeting him. Now Gong Huanshan is already unable to bear it anymore to Jiang Honggang. Xiang Cheng's eyes turned out the window again. Sunrise and sunset are like this every day. The glory of life can only be once. It is impossible to repeat like sunrise and sunset. The sun will still rise above Beigang, but the person standing at the highest point to enjoy the sunshine will definitely not be himself. Judging from the current situation, Gong Huanshan may not be Jiang Honggang's opponent. Who will win in the end depends on who will be more cruel and who will be more decisive!
