However, in recent times, with the sincere cooperation between the two parties, Zhou Daoqian has a new understanding and positioning of Xue Xiang's character and abilities.
It goes without saying that people have thousands of faces. If you look at them from different angles, you will naturally see different faces. A murderer, in the eyes of his relatives, is not a filial son and a loving father?
In the past, the two sides were enemies, so Zhou Daoqian naturally saw Xue Laosan's cunning, insidiousness and arrogance.
Now that Zhou Daoqian and Xue Laosan were cooperating, they couldn't help but change their perspective. What they saw was Xue Laosan's wise and calm attitude as a leader. Once this view changed, his original idea also changed.
The reason why Zhou Daoqian suddenly wanted to stay in Shu was simple. Although staying in Shu was dangerous, the benefits were amazing.
Once he, Zhou, places a heavy bet on Xue Xiang, that is, if Xue Xiang finally wins the battle with that person, his future harvest will be extremely astonishing.
The reason for making this choice is that as a veteran politician, Zhou Daoqian has amazing political sensitivity. How could he not see that this person has reached the end of his strength?
Not to mention anything else, just look at that person who is uncharacteristically acting now. He is acting more and more without regulations, completely abandoning political integrity, and using his power unscrupulously to carry out all-round attacks on Xue Xiang, a political underachiever who is several levels below.
If you hit him, you will know that the person is desperate.
Of course, it won’t last long!
After all, that person is the leader of the province, and the power in his hands comes from the organization. However, the organization cannot allow anyone to misuse the power.
The more serious the line is crossed, the more serious the backlash will be in the future.
Nowadays, Cai Xingtian's attack on Xue Xiang is swift and fierce, but it is destined not to last long, because many lines have been crossed, and the political backlash of this abuse of power will surely follow.
As long as Xue Xiang survives these three axes, all that awaits him will be a sad ending.
And once Xue Xiang survives, Zhou's future harvest will be very considerable. He is very clear about the energy of Xue Yan in front of him in the province. After all, if no one in the province maintains the situation for him, Xue Xiang.
It was Xue Ya Nei who had a background in Tongtian. He was also killed by Cai Xingtian using procedural justice.
And once that person falls, Lieutenant General Shu will leave a huge power vacuum. If someone else in the province is willing to operate, wouldn't he, Zhou, be the best candidate to fill this power vacuum in the hands of Xue Yanei?
In addition, there was another important reason why Zhou Daoqian changed his mind and stayed in Shuzhong, or this reason was the main factor that led him to stay. That was his emotional investment in Xue Xiang.
Due to the long-standing hostile relationship between the two, although the two sides have been cooperating for some time, the conflicts and bad blood that have remained cannot be eliminated quickly.
But now, he, Zhou, has given up his land elsewhere and settled in Shu. This is a way of showing his attitude, a way of living and dying with him, Xue Yanei, and fighting the wind and rain together.
With this attitude, and Xue Yanei finally coming through, Zhou Daoqian belongs to the group of Gen Zheng and Miao Hong.
Just like the Red Army members who experienced the Long March, they later became representatives of political correctness. Even in those ten years, cadres with the Long March experience received special care even if they were punished.
Now, this is what Zhou Daoqian has in mind. In his opinion, once the emotional points are earned, he, Zhou, will quickly undergo a gorgeous transformation in Xue Yameni's camp.
It was with this consideration that Zhou Daoqian decided to stay in Shuzhong and endure the unbearable darkness before dawn.
Of course, since he has to place a bet, a shrewd politician like Zhou Daoqian cannot forget the other core of the whole bet, which is how does Xue Xiang treat him, Zhou Daoqian?
If Xue Xiang still has a deep grudge against Zhou, even if he wins the bet in the end, it will be all in vain.
After all, his cooperation with Xue Xiang was short-lived. Although his impression of Xue Xiang changed drastically during the cooperation, he also learned from other channels that he had excellent evaluations of Xue Xiang.
But what other people heard from others was just hearsay, and there was no direct experience.
Therefore, when he returned home this time, he announced that he was behind closed doors. In fact, he was just waiting to see how Xue Xiang would act.
When I returned home, although my face was calm, my heart became increasingly worried, so that I stood by the window for a long time, watching the floating clouds and gray dogs, worrying about gains and losses.
When he thought about it, if Xue Laosan came within today, it would prove that he, Zhou, was at a loss for his inference that Xue Yanei valued affection and righteousness.
If this Xue Yanei really treats Mr. Zhou as a rag, throws it away after using it, and does not come to see him at all. He just stays out of town to find a place to send Mr. Zhou away.
Then such a person is not worthy of Zhou Daoqian's heavy investment.
However, Xue Laosan did not let Zhou Daoqian wait for a whole day. Before noon, he arrived late with a bottle of wine.
At this point, Zhou Daoqian was completely relieved and resolutely tied his official career and even his fortune and life to Xue Laosan's chariot.
But he said that Xue Laosan was not surprised at all by Zhou Daoqian's "going back on his word."
What Zhou Daoqian could see, he, Xue Laosan, had already thought of.
Because the situation has developed to this point, it has reached the final critical period. Both sides are already about to see the red with bayonets and decide the winner. It is within this thought.
From the perspective of others who are not familiar with the inside story, it would be easy for Xue Laosan from the province to deal with him, and there would be no doubt about the outcome of both parties.
Only those who know the inside story know that the current situation is not that the one from the province has the upper hand, but that Xue Laosan has saved the situation bit by bit.
The desperate efforts there have caused too much resentment inside and outside the province. He, Xue Laosan, only needs to survive these three axes to end things perfectly.
At this moment, if Zhou Daoqian still doesn't know what to choose and wants to back down, then maybe Xue Laosan will really look down on this person.
However, after Zhou Daoqian's words, Xue Laosan said: "Since Secretary Daoqian has made up his mind, I won't say anything more. I can only wish the old secretary a long journey and great achievements. The old secretary is Dejiang.
My meritorious minister, you are leaving. Naturally, you cannot leave without some news. On behalf of the Municipal Party Committee, I will come forward to organize a celebration party for Secretary Dao Qian. Our Municipal Party Committee and Government also represent the four million people of Dejiang to send us a good gift.
Old secretary."
Xue Laosan has always been a good person. If people respect him, he will return the same.
"How do you say this? There is no need, there is no need. I am still in Sichuan and I haven't gone far. What can I give you as a gift? Save some money and help the people in need. It's serious. Don't make these false gifts!"
As he said this, the lines on Secretary Zhou's face that were about to break when he smiled really betrayed his mood at this time.
A true man does not only seek fame and fortune, but as an official, who does not desire a good reputation? Xue Xiang is clearly giving him a big gift.
Xue Laosan kept his word, and sure enough, a few days later, he held a grand and grand farewell party for Zhou Daoqian.
Except for a few people from the Municipal Party Committee who did not attend, the four teams of Dejiang, various mass organizations, trade unions, and the Women's Federation all came out to the No. 1 auditorium, with colorful lights hung high and flowers spread out to send Zhou Daoqian a farewell.
Such a grand occasion almost made Zhou Daoqian cry with excitement. During his final speech, he choked up several times, obviously he was moved by his true feelings.
Indeed, no matter who was responsible for Dejiang's leap, Dejiang completed a magnificent turn during his reign as Zhou Daoqian, and no one can erase this fact.
At the meeting, Zhou Daoqian looked back on the years he had been in charge of Dejiang and talked about Dejiang's past decline to its current prosperity. An indescribable sense of accomplishment and joy arose in his heart.
Of course, Zhou Daoqian did not forget who brought all this today. At the end of Zhou Daoqian's speech that day, he almost used all kinds of beautiful words to praise Xue Xiang.
At the final farewell banquet, in front of everyone, Zhou Daoqian toasted Xue Xiang with three large cups.
Undoubtedly, Zhou Daoqian's final confession helped Xue Xiang raise his prestige to a higher level.
At the same time, it also sent a political signal to Dejiang, that is, Mayor Xue is broad-minded and does not care about past grudges.
Thinking back on how incompatible Secretary Zhou and Mayor Xue were at first, but today, the two of them have turned their hostility into friendship.
It can be said that this political signal is extremely useful and has helped many people resolve their doubts and worries about Xue Laosan.
Xue Laosan used his bare hands to create a world in Dejiang. During this period, he offended many people.
But now that he has become a leader, others dare not confront him openly, but they keep a distance from him secretly, engage in conspiracy, and do all kinds of inaction.
Undoubtedly, it also increased Dejiang's political internal friction.
The positive signal Zhou Daoqian showed to Xue Xiang at the final farewell banquet and spread a positive signal perfectly offset this political internal friction.
Anyone would think that if someone like Secretary Zhou, who once wanted to eat the flesh of living bandits and sleep on their skin, could be forgiven by living bandits, what would he have to worry about?
Of course, the positive significance of Zhou Daoqian's unintentional actions was beyond Xue Laosan's expectation.
However, Xue Laosan also had another deep meaning in organizing this farewell party, or it was to offer a generous gift to Zhou Daoqian.
In addition to rewarding Zhou Daoqian for leading Dejiang over the years, the bigger factor was to create a political reputation for Zhou Daoqian. After all, if Zhou Daoqian decided to stay in Sichuan, he would inevitably encounter political strangulation in the future.
And Xue Laosan's deliberate efforts to build political prestige for Zhou Daoqian was to make him have more concerns before committing a crime, and to think clearly about attacking a meritorious veteran with outstanding merits and recognition in Dejiang's political circles.
What kind of political consequences and public opinion storm will it bear?
Sure enough, Xue Laosan's casual chess move had a great effect.
Soon, Zhou Daoqian was appointed as deputy director of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress and director of the Department of Water Resources.
This is a very interesting appointment.
The deputy director of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress clarified Zhou Daoqian's deputy ministerial level. In other words, Zhou Daoqian's official level jumped from the main hall to the deputy province, which is a great progress in his official career. (To be continued...)
