Lao Xu is Xu Xiping, Chen Meilan’s husband, who is currently the director of the Municipal Finance Bureau. Xu Xiping, the director of the Municipal Finance Bureau.

The "Iron Triangle" have many things in common. They are all from the urban area of ​​Qinghe City. They come from a family of officials. They were successful at a young age and had extensive connections. They were friends with each other when they were young. After entering the political arena, they openly performed "antagonism" for their own interests. , but they are secretly allies. They use each other, support each other, coexist and prosper together, and are a special "community" of interests.

He and Xu Xiping formed a new iron triangle. Mayor Gao Yao took refuge, Xu Xiping was very close to Municipal Party Committee Secretary Liu Rujian, and Xiang Tianliang was an important chess piece in the hands of Deputy Municipal Party Committee Secretary Fang Yingde.

Chen Meilan looked at Xiang Tianliang in surprise.

She did not expect that Xiang Tianliang would have a secret connection with her husband.

Xiang Tianliang and Xu Xiping have done a good job keeping secrets. Even Chen Meilan, Xu Xiping's wife, doesn't know about this new iron triangle.

"Hello, Lao Xu." Xiang Tianliang leaned his head on Chen Meilan, crossed his legs on Yang Biqiao's shoulders, and held his mobile phone carelessly.

On the other end of the phone, Xu Xiping looked very excited, "Xiao Xiang, congratulations on your promotion."

"How about a high promotion? A poor deputy county magistrate is nothing like you, Brother Xu. I heard that you are going to the Central Party School to study. In a year, when you come back from the capital, you will at least be the deputy mayor."

"Haha, you guys are well-informed. Did Mei Lan tell you?"

"By the way, Sister Chen told me."

"Well, one year of completely closed study is a hard life."

"So, I should be the one congratulating you."

Xu Xiping smiled and said: "You are satisfied. When I was your age, I was still a small clerk in the Municipal Commerce Bureau." Do you know the work arrangements?"

"I'm not sure. If nothing else happens, Lao Yu should have been released."

Xu Xiping said: "Yes, it has been decided. He will rush to Nanhe County tomorrow to officially serve as the Secretary of the Nanhe County Party Committee and concurrently as the Director of the Standing Committee of the County People's Congress."

"Hey, aren't we now neighbors?"

"Are you happy, kid?"

Xiang Tianliang smiled and said: "Of course, our coastal road to the outside world must pass through Nanhe County, which is at least twenty kilometers away. This road will soon be converted into a cement road. I am worried that Nanhe County cannot cooperate. "We are bargaining with our Binhai County. With Lao Yu in charge of Nanhe County, the problem will be solved easily."

"Haha, just go ahead and mess with Lao Yu."

Xiang Tianliang asked: "Lao Xu, have you set a specific time for you to study at the Central Party School?"

"It's decided, we will set off on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month and report in on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month."

Xiang Tianliang said: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Isn't that right? The handover of work will be completed within a week, so busy."

Xiang Tianliang smiled and asked, "Old Xu, we won't see you for a year, can't you just leave just like that?"

"Hey, what do you mean, what do you mean?"

"Haha, you know what it means."

"Rip-off?"

Xiang Tianliang smiled and said: "Originally, I didn't want to find you, but now that you called and came to see me, how can I let you go."

"I know that you kid specializes in lining up along the pole."

Xiang Tianliang said: "Lao Xu, our division of labor has been determined. I am in charge of the agricultural work of the county. As you know, the geological conditions of our Binhai County are very harsh. Sixty percent of the land is saline-alkali land. To If you want Binhai farmers to get rid of poverty and become rich, soil transformation is the only way. This soil transformation has a long way to go. In today's commodity economy society, it is impossible to transform without money. Therefore, before you leave the post of Finance Director, you must make a major contribution to the Binhai people. contribution.”

Xu Xiping laughed endlessly, "Haha, if you want money, you just want money. Can you please don't find such a big excuse?"

"Haha, I have one more important reason that I haven't mentioned yet."

"What's the reason?"

Xiang Tianliang smiled, reached up to the peak of Chen Meilan's chest, and said to the mobile phone: "Does this need to be said? Your wife is appointed as the deputy secretary of the Binhai County Party Committee. You can't come empty-handed. If you don't have 10 million, you have to give it all." Five million, otherwise it will be hard for comrades to hear what they say."

Xu Xiping asked: "Hey, I want to pay back 15 million, how do you explain it?"

"If you don't approve some money, Sister Chen will be really embarrassed. In the words of us Binhai people, it's just an embroidered pillow."

Xu Xiping cursed: "Bah, who is the embroidered pillow? Your wife is the embroidered pillow, and your whole family is embroidered pillows."

"Haha... I don't have a wife, you can scold me no matter what you want."

"Haha, tell me, how much do you want?"

Xiang Tianliang said: "I only have two requests, one is extra-budgetary funds, and the other is special funds, which are specially used for the transformation of saline-alkali land, so as not to be intercepted by the county finance bureau. As for how much it is, the more the better."

On the other end of the phone, Xu Xiping paused for a moment and said, "Okay, seeing as you're not having an easy time in Binhai, I'll bite the bullet and help you this time. I'll give you three million yuan. Don't think it's too little."

"Three million? 1.2 million people, with an average of 2.5 yuan per person, a drop in the bucket."

"If you think it's too little, I won't give you a penny. If you want it, just come to me within these seven days."

Xiang Tianliang said hurriedly: "I want it, but if I have money, I don't want it. You think I'm stupid."

"but."

"Hey, but what?"

Xu Xiping smiled and said: "But, I have conditions."

"Come on, something is going on. You, Mr. Xu, are someone you can't mess with. Don't forget that this country's money is not the money in your own pocket."

"Xiao Xiang, I'm not kidding."

Hearing the seriousness in Xu Xiping's words, Xiang Tianliang also became serious.

"Lao Xu, tell me, I'm listening."

Xu Xiping said: "Xiao Xiang, I have something to ask you."

"Don't worry, your old Xu's business is my business."

"Xiaoxiang, it's like this. You know what's wrong with Mayor Gao Yao. He had an idea for my Meilan. If you hadn't helped me, I'm afraid he would have succeeded. Now I'm going to the Central Party School to study for a year. I can’t rest assured.”

When Xiang Tianliang heard this, he glanced sideways at Chen Meilan and grinned happily.

"Lao Xu, what do you mean?"

"You're not here. You don't understand. It's hard for this woman to stay alone in an empty house for a year."

Xiang Tianliang asked with a smile: "You mean, Sister Chen will cheat on you?"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Meilan immediately took action and gave Xiang Tianliang a hard squeeze on his arm.

Yang Biqiao, who was sitting by the bed, covered her mouth and snickered.

The two women coincidentally put their ears next to Xiang Tianliang's cell phone.

Xu Xiping could only be heard sighing: "As a woman, it's hard to say."

"Well, Lao Xu, you are right. There are things about women that cannot be explained clearly."

Xu Xiping added: "To put it bluntly, I am afraid that Mayor Gao will resurface and take advantage of the situation."

"Yes, it's very possible."

Xu Xiping emphasized: "It is not possible, but certain."

"Why?"

"Because Mayor Gao hasn't transferred his wife so far, his intentions are obvious."

Xiang Tianliang said seriously: "Old Xu, you really need to pay attention to this matter. Mayor Gao fell in love with Sister Chen at first sight, and Sister Chen has to be alone for another year. If you are not careful, you may hit it off."

Chen Meilan glared at Xiang Tianliang and pinched his chest hard.

"So, Xiao Xiang, I entrust you, Sister Chen."

"Entrusted?" Xiang Tianliang pretended to be confused, while still smiling evilly at Chen Meilan.

"Yes, this year, you are going to keep your sister Chen in prison. I am relieved that she will stay in Binhai, but if she comes to Binhai, I will not be sure."

Xiang Tianliang hummed, "Lao Xu, don't worry, Sister Chen will be left to me. As long as I'm here, I will never let other men touch her."

"Xiao Xiang, please."

Xiang Tianliang smiled softly, "Old Xu, don't worry about me doing things."

Finally, the call ended.

Xiang Tianliang was in a daze.

Yang Biqiao took the phone and put it on the bedside table, "Hey, what are you doing?"

"I, I call myself brother-in-law with Lao Xu and sleep with Sister Chen at the same time. Isn't it too bad?" Xiang Tianliang murmured to himself.

Chen Meilan smiled coldly, "We are brothers? What do you think?"

Yang Biqiao also laughed, "Xiao Xiang, times have changed. The saying "spoil a brother's life" can be changed to "spare a brother's ribs."

"What's going on, what's going on, you two are hiding something from me?" Xiang Tianliang asked in confusion.

Chen Meilan said to Yang Biqiao: "Biqiao, tell me."

Yang Biqiao said: "Before Sister Meilan and I came to Binhai County to take office, Lao Xu took Sister Meilan and me to see Liu Rujian, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Secretary Liu told the two of us that after arriving in Binhai County, in addition to establishing ourselves, , the main task is to restrict you. Secretary Liu said that Secretary Zhang Heng and County Magistrate Chen Letian are not of concern due to their age and political achievements. Only you Xiang Tianliang is a role that cannot be underestimated. Since you can't be used by me, just He must be restrained and destroyed, and attacking Xiang Tianliang is equivalent to attacking Deputy Secretary Fang Yingde."

"Oh, what did Lao Xu say?" Xiang Tianliang asked.

Yang Biqiao continued: "Old Xu is following Secretary Liu closely. He went to the Zhongyang Party School for one year of full-time study. It was Secretary Liu who fought for him. Coming out of the Zhongyang Party School means a bright future. Old Xu, he Can you not give up?"

"But, we are an iron triangle with an appointment."

Yang Biqiao smiled and said: "It's real and fake. When the real is fake, the fake is also real. Do you understand?"

"I don't understand." He shook his head towards Tianliang.
