Chapter 1868 Truth

I don't know when and where the melodious violin music sounded, far and near, which is fascinating. The ancient song "High Mountain and Flowing Water" played by the violin has a unique flavor, but although it is melodious, it lacks the rant and sonorous sound that the zith of the guzheng should have, which is a little less artistic conception of towering mountains and flowing water.

Xia Xiang and Ji Rulan sat face to face. The table was not big, and four or five dishes were full. He and Ji Rulan were more than one meter away, just like eating with his family, but it was far less relaxed and casual when eating with his family.

When Ji Rulan first came out to greet her, she wore a cheongsam, and now she changed into a casual dress. Her hair was tied up with a hairpin, and then her sleeves were rolled up, revealing her arms as white as a lotus root. If it weren't for her modern clothes, if it hadn't been for the music of " Playing the violin made Xia want to suspect that he is now in ancient times, and Ji Rulan, an official eunuch from a famous family, is meeting him by the lake.

But it is also because of the real contrast in the illusion that Xia Xiang has always kept a clear mind, and he has also seen countless beautiful women. He can't say that he is completely immune to beautiful women, and he will not be confused by the confused atmosphere deliberately created by people.

Ji Rulan is still as light as Lan. She filled a bowl of soup for Xia Xiang and sent it to Xia Xiang lightly with both hands: "Secretary Xia, please try the fresh bamboo shoot soup." Ghost Weiwuxia wants to pick up the soup in his hand: "Thank you." Then I tasted it. It was really delicious and praised, "It's good, Rulan's good craftsmanship."

"Thank you, Secretary Xia, for your praise." Ji Rulan smiled again, but after laughing, her smile slowly cooled down, and her voice became much colder. "I treat Secretary Xia sincerely, but why does Secretary Xia push me step by step?"

Xia Xiang said that there was still the delicious taste of bamboo shoot soup, but there was a direct and sharp question in his ear. In contrast, ordinary people would be stunned and at a loss for a moment.

Xia thought was also inevitably stunned, but then he calmed down. As if nothing had happened, he finished the bamboo shoot soup and said, "Northern people eat, eat vegetables first and then drink soup, Lingnan people eat, drink soup first, which habit is good? In fact, it's all the same. It doesn't matter whether it's good or bad. As long as you think it's suitable, as long as you have a good appetite and good health, it's the best way to eat. You don't have to draw a circle and put yourself in it. For example, nowadays, some young people compare their personality and fate with their horoscopes, which is completely deprioritable. Thousands of people and thousands of faces, can a few fabricated words determine the direction of life?

Ji Rulan was stunned. She didn't expect that Xia Xiang's answer was so rounded and meaningful. She wanted to suddenly hit Xia to be caught off guard, so that Xia Xiang lost in momentum. She didn't expect that Xia Xiang seemed to be unable to splash water.

Xia wanted to take another sip of tea slowly and asked, "Rulan, I can't figure it out. I can't make sense. I just came to Lingnan not long ago, and it's the first time I met you. How can I force you step by step?"

The Ren Chang incident doesn't count, because Ren Chang is not the Lingdong department, but the Kuodi department. In addition, even if Ren Chang is the Ji family, his fall of the horse is also in the hands of Chen Haotian, which can't be counted on him. Xia thought is very puzzled by Ji Rulan's discoloration.

Incomprehension, Xia thought was not surprised. If Ji Rulan was just as quiet as she seems, she would not be able to take charge of the Ji family's family affairs in her 30s. Although Xia Xiang doesn't know how deep and wide the Ji family is, he thinks of the deep roots of the Wu family. Compared with the Wu family, the Ji family, which has a longer history and has been in Lingnan. It has been working hard to run Lingnan for decades. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. I believe that the distribution of the Ji

So at the beginning, Xia thought that he did not despise Ji Rulan at all, nor was he be confused by her beauty and quietness, and always regarded her as an even opponent.

Ji Rulan was asked by Xia. Suddenly, she put her hair close again and smiled with bright eyes: "Let's make a joke with Secretary Xia. Please don't mind. There are a lot of Secretary Xia. I'm sure he won't be angry with me?"

Women often regard beauty as the most lethal weapon in front of men, and they often try again and again. The so-called lust is not charming. Most men have poor self-control in front of women. Xiaxiang was also hit by Ji Rulan's bright eyes with a smile and felt that his mind was excited.

Fortunately, he immediately calmed down and knew that Ji Rulan knew men's psychology well and would secretly use women's unique charm killers in the past with men.

"Of course not. It doesn't matter when people deliberately say something wrong." Xia said he couldn't, but he stressed whether he deliberately said something wrong or secretly gave a blow.

Ji Rulan's face remained unchanged and turned a deaf ear, but she casually talked about the weather and life with Xia.

"Secretary Xia, I've been single now. Maybe my vision is too high, maybe I'm too picky, and I always feel that men nowadays are unreliable. Can you analyze it for me from the perspective of a man? Is my psychology normal?"

"Secretary Xia, I'm the flower god, and you are the official god. It is said that the two strong men meet and the brave win. What do you think will happen when the two gods meet?"

"Secretary Xia, have you ever been to the Plum Blossom Market? In the depths of the mountains, Meihua City is a good place with beautiful mountains and rivers. If you have a chance, you must go there. How about I will be a tour guide for you?

Most of the time, Ji Rulan is talking, and Xia wants to listen. Ji Rulan's slightly soft Mandarin is mixed in the fragrant air, which makes people sleepy and soft.

I ate a meal for more than an hour.

It was getting late, so Xia wanted to get up and said goodbye: "Thank you for Rulan's kindness and delicious food. I had a good night today."

"Me too." Ji Rulan didn't keep her and got up to see him off. "Secretary Xia is young and handsome, and he talks funny. He must be the dream lover of many women. I hope I don't dream of Secretary Xia tonight."

Ji Rulan did not drink, but her cheeks were red and she seemed to be drunk.

Xia thought that he didn't answer her words. He gently shook her soft and warm hand and came to the outside of the villa.

Tension has stood aside respectfully and opened the door.

......

There seemed to be no harvest at this meeting. In fact, Xia thought clearly that his contact with the Ji family had initially opened a door.

On the way back, the tension was no longer as excited as when it came. On the contrary, it was not in a low mood and very low, as if it had been hit by something. Xia thought he didn't ask much, because he was not very satisfied with the arrangement of tension today.

It's not that he blames tension, but that tension, as a key figure, did not play a key role, which made him slightly disappointed with tension. Moreover, the performance of tension after seeing Ji Rulan was very poor, which also changed his perception of tension slightly.

Xia Xiang went back to the provincial party committee first. After shaking hands with Zhang Li and saying goodbye, he returned to the office. He first called Mi Jihuo to briefly inform him about the meeting with Ji Rulan. There must be etiquette.

Mi Jihuo doesn't seem to be very interested in Xiaxiang's contact with the Ji family: "It's good to see each other, everything must have a beginning. It is said that everything is difficult at the beginning. In fact, it is easy to start, and the latter is the difficulty."

Xia thought about it and asked, "Give Governor Mi, is Zhang Li the secretary directly recommended by the provincial party committee, or did someone spread the message?"

"..." Mi Jihuo was silent for a moment before saying, "Before I came to Lingnan, Qiu Shi said that maybe the provincial committee would arrange a secretary for me to observe for a while before deciding whether to stay or not. Zhang Li was directly recommended by the provincial party committee, but I didn't know before it was recommended by the provincial party committee.

Putting down the phone, Xiaxiang's heart is much clearer. Zhang Li has not been in the provincial party committee for many years. It's not that he has no strength, but waiting for an opportunity. It is impossible to stand out from the countless secretaries waiting for opportunities and be recommended as the secretary of the governor. There is no power to operate behind it.

As soon as Xia thought about the things behind the things, the phone rang. When she saw that it was Gu Yu's call, she quickly answered the phone.

"Xiaoxia, I heard from the jade girl that you are looking for me? I just thought that there must be nothing good for you to come to me. Come on, my old bone can still have a little weight. It's the voice of the old man.

"Lao Gu..." Xia wanted to restore the closest name before, "Don't you always say that the Ji family wants to meet me? I just met Ji Rulan.

"Ji Rulan?" Lao Gu asked in surprise, "What did you meet her? Who introduced it?"

Xia wanted to be stunned and listened to Lao Gu's tone. Obviously, the Ji family that Lao Gu wanted to introduce to him was not Ji Rulan.

"Tension."

"Tension?" Lao Gu seemed to think for a moment, "Oh, I remember, Mi Jihuo's secretary, he is..."

Halfway through the words, Lao Gu took it back: "Forget it, it's useless to tell you now. You will naturally know when you should know. By the way, there is another thing I can tell you. In fact, as early as when Chen Haotian wanted to transfer you to Lingnan, someone intended to arrange Zhang Li to be your secretary, but he was wrong, and he didn't know which link had a problem, and finally became Mi Jihuo's secretary.

The news revealed by Lao Gu really surprised Xia.

So, not only Chen Haotian valued him at the beginning, but before he was sure to go to Lingnan, someone in Lingnan had begun to calculate him? It's not good to be famous. The enemy is so dark that we should always beware of people behind us.

The next day, the provincial party committee basically returned to normal weather. Although it was still a day before it was still a day's official work, basically all the personnel of all departments had arrived.

Chen Haotian also came back, and presided over a small-scale meeting, finalized the future work arrangements, and decided to convene a standing committee as soon as he officially went to work tomorrow to discuss relevant personnel appointments and inform an important decision of the central government.

Everyone's attention fell on the important decision of the central government. They did not take personnel appointment seriously, but there was a major accident in the personnel appointment, and the Lingnan Provincial Department encountered the first positive sniper.

PS: Alas, there are so many brothers who watch the official god, most of whom are too lazy to vote for a few recommendation votes. Today, it's just two updates.
