Xiang Cheng had already heard the smell of gunpowder that began to spread from the conversation between Zhang Yang and Gong Huanshan. He smiled and said, "Who doesn't know that you are brave, let alone let you be the mayor, even if you let you do my position, you will still take it."

Official Zhang laughed and said, "Sincere, Secretary Xiang, you are sarcastic about me."

Xiang Cheng smiled and said, "It's not that you are sarcastic, but to be honest, sooner or later, you young people are the leader." Xiang Cheng felt very calm when he said this. He realized that he was expounding a fact, a fact that he had already recognized. He was old, and in less than a year, he would gradually withdraw from the political stage. The light on his body was given by the position of Secretary of the Beigang Municipal Party Committee. When he took off his bright coat, the light on his body would dim day by day and eventually return to silence. People would have such a day. Even Mr. Xue, who was once a powerful man, has now left the political arena, let alone the secretary of the municipal party committee of a prefecture-level city?

When Xiang Cheng said these words, he did not consider Gong Huanshan's feelings. Gong Huanshan is no longer young. Although Gong Huanshan is still working tirelessly for the position of the municipal party secretary, with Gong Qiwei's arrival, Gong Huanshan's hopes in his heart become increasingly slim. He even felt that Xiang Cheng was not doing his best to him as before. This time he followed Xiang Cheng to pay his birthday to Mr. Xue, which was somewhat of a vain. But Gong Huanshan is not without self-esteem. He just was not dead until the Yellow River. He was looking forward to a miracle in his heart. Perhaps this trip to the capital would completely shatter his fantasy.

Perhaps it was because of the tiring and the pressure in his heart was too great recently, Gong Huanshan soon became a little drunk. For people like his position, drinking is not a good thing. He was worried that he would say too much after drinking, and that too much would lead to mistakes, so he stood up in time to say goodbye.

Zhang Yang originally wanted to take the opportunity to leave, but he didn't expect that Xiang Cheng had a strong conversation tonight. He actually invited Zhang Yang to his room for tea.

Zhang Yang and Xiang Cheng have never had a good relationship. Although there was a retardation period because of Mr. Xue, Xiang Cheng's attitude towards him has never been merciless when he should step on him. It was also after the fact that the bonded area was a fait accompliment. Xiang Cheng found that he had stepped on this guy countless times, but every time the result was that he hit his feet. The old arms and legs could not withstand this tossing, so Xiang Cheng began to turn a blind eye to Zhang Yang. Everyone should not interfere with the rivers. Just be fine. But with the arrival of Gong Qiwei, Xiang Cheng understood that in the final analysis, the province would not let him be peaceful.

Zhang Yang accompanied Xiang Cheng to his room. Huo Yunzhu did not follow him, but Hong Shijiao came, she knew some tea art. She temporarily acted as the tea art artist for the two of them and made a pot of Phoenix Dantong for them.

Zhang Yang first drank this kind of tea and gave it to Qiu Fengxian. Xiang Cheng was used to drinking the tea. The first time he drank this kind of tea, he took a sip and said, "Oolong tea?"

Hong Shijiao smiled and said, "Secretary Xiang is so amazing."

Zhang Daguanren's lips showed a secret smile. There was only one most common thing for women to praise men for being powerful. When Hong Shijiao saw Zhang Yang's smile, her pretty face turned red and she whispered: "It's oolong tea. Did Secretary Zhang drink it?"

Zhang Yang said: "I have drunk several times. To be precise, it should be a kind of phoenix Danzhu, an oolong tea. It is named after it grows in Phoenix Mountain in Lingnan. Most tea trees grow in mountainous areas above altitude of 1,000 meters. The clouds and mist are hidden all year round, and the air is humid. The temperature difference is large. There are about 3,000 existing single-come tea trees, all of which are more than a hundred years old."

Hong Shijiao's beautiful eyes were wide open, revealing a light of surprise. The real thing was Zhang Yang. Unexpectedly, he was quite knowledgeable about tea ceremony.

Xiang Cheng said: "It seems that the real thing is Zhang Yang. I just drank oolong tea. But he can drink it from the place of origin."

Zhang Daguanren smiled and said, "It's not that I'm better than you, but because my eyesight is better than you. I saw the instructions on the tea box."

Hearing him say this, Xiang Cheng and Hong Shijiao both laughed, and Xiang Cheng said, "Precautions, I was almost fooled by you."

Hong Shijiao said: "Although there are four words "Phoenix Dantong" on it, the introduction is not so detailed. Secretary Zhang must have studied this kind of tea."

Zhang Yang said: "I have heard people too, but I am used to turning other people's knowledge into my own knowledge. Now I may have infringed on whose intellectual property rights."

Hong Shijiao laughed and said softly: "Secretary Zhang, I have arranged a room for you next door, and the room card is here."

Zhang Yang took the room card, Hong Shijiao stood up and said goodbye. Her task was to make tea, not to chat with the two leaders. God knows what confidential things do they have to say?

Xiang Cheng picked up the teacup and drank it, closed his eyes and savored it for a while, and said, "Good tea!"

Zhang Yang also took a sip and said, "Tea is good, but unfortunately the skill of making tea is still not good. Kung Fu tea must be done enough to taste."

Xiang Cheng smiled and said, "How to solve it?"

Zhang Yang said: "If you don't say anything else, the process alone is already dazzling. Kung Fu tea needs to appreciate fragrant tea, Meng Chen Lin Lin, Oolong enters the palace, hanging pots high and rushing, spring breeze blows on the face, smokes the fairy face, Ruochen comes out of the bath, jade liquid returns to the pot, travels around the mountains and rivers, Guan Gong patrols the city, Han Xin orders troops, presents fragrant tea, tastes fragrance and reviews the rhyme, jade liquid returns to the pot, high and low sieve, Ruochen bathes again, recognizes mellow rhyme, three pours of flowing clouds, what I mentioned above are the basic eighteen processes, if it is done by a tea artist, it may be more complicated."

Xiang Cheng opened his eyes when he heard this, and he felt that the tea in his mouth was not as exciting as Zhang Yang's words. He whispered: "No wonder that I must be my teacher when I walk."

Zhang Yang said: "Secretary Xiang, I don't agree with you. At your level, I must have my master in three people! One of them must be your master."

Xiang Cheng laughed loudly, Zhang Yang's words were very applicable. In Xiang Cheng's memory, he rarely had such a pleasant conversation with Zhang Yang, and he also discovered one thing in common between them, that is, they are all people that Mr. Xue liked and trusted very much, and this time they were all guests of Mr. Xue's birthday.

Zhang Yang remembered something, and he deliberately said: "Secretary Xiang, I know you will definitely come to pay my birthday to Mr. Xue this time, but I don't know that Mayor Gong is coming too."

Xiang Cheng smiled faintly. He knew what Zhang Yang wanted to say. Gong Huanshan and Mr. Xue did not have much friendship. In Xiang Cheng's eyes, the reason why he insisted on following him and was prepared to make a last-minute attempt. Xiang Cheng was able to understand Gong Huanshan's current mood. Gong Huanshan lost confidence not only reflected in himself, but also in his attitude towards him, the current secretary of the municipal party committee and the eldest brother. Xiang Cheng said: "Mayor Gong and Mr. Xue have known each other for many years." He didn't say much, and there was no meaning to explain too much. Although Zhang Yang was young, he was a wise man and could see the mystery clearly.

Zhang Yang said: "Mr. Xue is afraid he didn't invite him here."

Xiang Cheng couldn't help laughing. The young man still couldn't hold back his anger after all. Zhang Yang was really straightforward. If Gong Huanshan was here, he would be angry by him when he heard him speak like this. Xiang Cheng did not directly answer Zhang Yang's question, but said, "Zhang Yang, are you angry about Mayor Gong's joke just now?"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Does Secretary Xiang think I am so small? Mayor Gong is just a joke, but he doesn't take it seriously. Even if he takes it seriously, he doesn't keep his word at the moment. You are the top leader. You didn't ask me to come to Beijing to get exile. Why is he anxious?" Zhang Daguanren smiled on his face, but when he talked about Gong Huanshan, he was full of disdain.

Xiang Cheng sighed and said, "Zhang Yang, I have to say goodbye to you. We should respect our leaders. What are the top leaders and second leaders? Everyone is working for the country. How can there be any high or low?"

Zhang Yang said: "I'm just talking about the facts. Secretary Xiang must not be serious with me."

Xiang Cheng said: "Zhang Yang, the reason why I keep you for tea is that I have something to talk to you."

Zhang Yang said: "Secretary Xiang, I can see that I am drinking your soft mouth now. Today you invited me to drink and tea again. Thinking about it, I often made you unhappy in the past, I regret it in my heart."

Xiang Cheng said: "You don't have to regret it. You are allowed to keep your personal opinions at work. I won't keep the disputes arising from work. Although I am not a high-ranking official, I still have this vision. If I can't even distinguish between public and private, then my municipal party secretary for so many years will be in vain."

Zhang Yang said: "Secretary Xiang, I think we have a little generation gap. I admit that we are a little radical."

Xiang Cheng smiled and said, "Then you are forcing me to admit that I am a little more conservative in my work?"

Zhang Yang said: "Secretary Xiang, if you say so, it means that you will never admit that you are conservative. In fact, don't rush to refuse. I don't think you are conservative either. It may be because we have a different understanding of development."

Xiang Cheng said: "Zhang Yang, whether I admit it or not, I am old. When I am old, my thinking will inevitably fail to keep up with the times. Otherwise, we would not have a retirement system."

Zhang Yang said: "In fact, experience is also a valuable asset."

Xiang Cheng said: "Today's era is an era of change. It is far from enough to do things based on experience alone. Many things have happened recently, and some of them have touched me a lot. I began to look back and rethink the problem. I found that I had errors in the judgment of the development of some things."

Zhang Daren didn't believe his ears. Xiang Cheng was able to actively admit that he had made a work mistake in front of him. This matter was a bit like the sun coming out of the west. When the leader criticized himself, Zhang Yang was certainly not suitable to add fuel to the fire. He blinked his eyes and looked confused and had to pretend to be confused when he was modifying it.
