Office of the Deputy Director.

Qu Gang sat behind his desk, smiling, and smoking a cigarette leisurely.

On the chair opposite, sat Deputy Director Zhang Tianbiao. Zhang Tianbiao was also smiling, even more brilliant than Qu Gang.

Extinguishing the cigarette butt in the ashtray, Zhang Tianbiao said, "Brother Qu, it looks like you're in a good mood!"

"Aren't you too?" Qu Gang said with a puff of smoke rings, "but it's true, it's been a long time since I've been in such a good mood." ”

Zhang Tianbiao smiled: "Brother Qu, to be honest, I have never seen Lao Baimao so gray-faced." It's just that I don't understand, and I wonder why that old boy didn't fight back, and he was still accused by others of that?"

The reason is very simple, because people stand on the moral high ground, what can he say? And people have already put a big hat on him, saying that it is precisely because of his obstruction that the bureau did not take immediate action, and it also indirectly led to a large number of people falling ill due to counterfeit medicines. Even if he knows that others are playing on the topic, he can only endure it, and if he says more, the more it confirms that he is 'obstructing in every way'. Even in this sensitive period, individual county leaders did not dare to support him. Qu Gang spoke like a mentor.

"It's an old slippery head. By the way, there's that little old slippery head. Zhang Tianbiao continued, "Brother Qu, I always feel that we are being used. 'No hair on the mouth' has not been arranged, instead of waiting, I think he is waiting for our attitude, waiting for me to take the initiative to come to the door, and then with the help of our strength, he is so happy to hit an old white hair. ”

"Tianbiao, don't say anything 'no hair on your mouth' in the future, you are not a few years older than others. I don't even dare to underestimate people now, why do you always wear colored glasses?" Qu Gang reprimanded the other party.

"Brother Qu, isn't it just the two of us? Zhang Tianbiao smiled, "Don't worry, even if I don't understand Brother Qu's approach sometimes, I will definitely listen to what you say." Didn't I listen to you this time and go to the door to talk to others?"

Qu Gang said unhappily: "Tianbiao, listening to your tone, have you suffered a loss?" Let me tell you, if you don't come to the door in time to express your stance this time, today's artillery fire will be for you, and it will not be just a matter of a few words for you. I guess your deputy director can't keep it, at least you won't have any rights. You can snuck your laugh now. ”

Zhang Tianbiao smiled "hehe": "Yes, secretly laughing, secretly laughing." Thank you Brother Qu for giving me guidance, if there is no Brother Qu, how can I be where I am today. ”

Qu Gang listened to it very much, and he was secretly happy in his heart, but his face was calm, and then he said seriously: "Tianbiao, you are my brother, I will definitely not ignore you." Some time ago, you sneered at me, you didn't listen to what I said, I was very sad, but I still couldn't give up on you. You have many advantages as a person, but the disadvantages are also obvious, that is, you are not convinced. I'm telling you, you really can't disagree with the current leader, otherwise he will clean you up and leave you with nothing to say.

There are many reasons why you can keep the position of deputy director now, but if he hadn't given me face, I might not have been able to keep you. Let's not talk about yourself, just do what you did to your two nephews, and people want to clean you up, that's a good reason. Qiao Xiaoming, a small traffic policeman, dared to punish a third time for illegal parking, it is really a strange thing, if he is poked out by a reporter, it will be a big joke.

Qiao Xiaoguang can't say anything about those bad things. He was a gangster back then, and you got him in and gave him a big boost. With your relationship, I will turn a blind eye. turned out to be such an unsuccessful thing, not only eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, but also embezzling and accepting bribes. has no IQ at all, and has to play with women, and finally let a gangster be a gun. Don't you don't like to listen to it, it's just this kind of thing, sooner or later, something will happen.

Your relatives, who are in charge of your department, turned out to be like this. You said, if people want you to move your position, what do you have to say? What's more, you are against others everywhere, and you have repeatedly provoked people in public, including Ke Xiaoming, who is also that virtue. You see that people are sometimes quite strong, but in fact, the cultivation is good enough.

Also, don't think that no one is available. In my opinion, that Qiu Zhikang is the one who takes your place. Don't be unconvinced, Qiu Zhikang won the first place in the big competition and won you, this is strength. In the case of He Xifa being beaten, Qiu Zhikang participated in the investigation and interrogation, which is to be reused. Qiu Zhikang is really unambiguous, the tasks are completed very well, and he has made meritorious contributions. And what were you doing at that time? You were sick, you were in a mood, you were slacking off.

I've realized that if you go on like that, he's definitely not going to give me face again. So, I asked you to come to the door and admit your mistake and take the initiative to take the case. You must know that your visit this time is not a 'person under a low eaves', but an important opportunity for you. Now that things are big, you have won the initiative all of a sudden, and this treasure is the right bet. ”

"It's still Brother Qu's clever and clever means, so I'll thank Brother Qu. Zhang Tianbiao gave a thumbs up.

Qu Gang shook his head: "You, you don't need to wear a high hat for me, you are also quite capable, you can make up a dream for no reason." ”

Zhang Tianbiao smiled slightly embarrassed and not without self-satisfaction: "People are busy and unwise, and they are in a hurry." Then the topic changed, "Brother Qu, why do you say that he used the topic to play today, and trained Lao Baimao like a third grandson? Compared with the embarrassment that you and I once gave him, according to Lao Baimao's practice that day, it shouldn't be today." ”

"I can't say exactly, but I think it's because of that. As he spoke, Qu Gang gestured with his hand, "Face." This time is different from the past, this time it was his fellow countryman, good buddy, and good friend entrusted to him, but he was obstructed, and he couldn't afford to lose this face, so he ......"

……

Just when Qu and Zhang were talking about today's matter, Chu Tianqi was also thinking about the meeting.

At the meeting before the holiday, although Lei Peng was not present later, Zhao Boxiang's resolute and fierce opposition still made Chu Tianqi feel very faceless.

It has been nearly ten days since Xia Xue came to coordinate last time, and there has been no response from the various functional departments in the county, which makes Chu Tianqi very annoyed.

In the past few days, Lei Peng has urged three times in a row, and Xia Xue also called to ask. But there is no progress on his side, and he has to tell lies, he feels sorry for his good buddies and good friends, and he feels even more angry.

Just because of the delay and delay, the incident of hundreds of people taking medicine and discomfort broke out, Chu Tianqi's fire is very big, there is fire for others, and there is fire for himself.

Therefore, if he doesn't give Zhao Boxiang face today, Chu Tianqi does have the factor of recovering face, and he also has the intention of venting his anger. But this is by no means the main reason, but Chu Tianqi wants to use this superficial phenomenon to try this Zhao Boxiang's reaction, and also wants to observe the reactions of others. Therefore, Chu Tianqi's use of the topic to play and get angry is definitely not just a matter of face.

In the past, Chu Tianqi had always respected Zhao Boxiang for three points, and sometimes even deliberately elevated the other party. Zhao Boxiang has also been acting decently, although he occasionally takes care of it, but the overall attitude is cooperation. Chu Tianqi also thought that this Zhao Boxiang couldn't make trouble with the big demon.

But just when Chu Tianqi thought that he understood Zhao Boxiang, he never thought that the other party suddenly gave him a moment, and he came coldly. What made Chu Tianqi even more puzzled was that it was not a big deal, and it could be said that it had nothing to do with Zhao Boxiang, but why did Zhao Boxiang oppose it so fiercely?

In fact, these days, he thinks about this question from time to time, and also puts forward several hypotheses, but there is no definite answer. However, his opinion of Zhao Boxiang has changed a lot, and he knows that this old man is thoughtful, and he is afraid that it is not as simple as it seems. From Zhao Boxiang, he thought of other people again, but after thinking about it for a while, it seemed that he couldn't understand it. So, he decided to take advantage of today's opportunity to play a good game and get angry.

The anger was released, Zhao Boxiang was disgraced, and the lost face seemed to have been overrecovered. But Chu Tianqi did not have the joy of victory, on the contrary, he felt very lost.

In the face of his upper line, Zhao Boxiang did not refute, explained, or admit his mistakes, as if he didn't say him. Not only that, but if nothing happened, you should drink tea and drink tea, and the record should be recorded. Chu Tianqi felt as if he had hit cotton.

Zhao Boxiang's performance today, I don't know if he has seen through his tricks, or his psychological quality is super good, or he is disdainful of himself. Anyway, it made Chu Tianqi feel very powerless. What force can a fist hit the air?

Chu Tianqi couldn't help but wonder, wondering if he was thinking about things too complicated. Maybe Zhao Boxiang is just talking about things, and the events of that day were not intentional at all, so naturally he will not connect his words today with that day.

Is it that what he thinks is too complicated? Chu Tianqi fell into deep thought again.

……

In one room, all the lights were extinguished, the heavy curtains were drawn tightly, and there was no sound in the room, which was completely the feeling of people going to the empty building. But in the darkness, a bright light the size of a little finger flickered and flickered, and it was the light of a cigarette butt, indicating that someone was in the house.

The light of the cigarette butt came on again, and there was also the sound of a long inhalation, this time the fireworks were lit for a longer time, and they shone on the white hair on the smoker's sideburns.

There was a sudden burning pain in his hand, and he took a sharp breath of cool air, only to realize that the cigarette butt had burned his hand. Gritting his teeth, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground. Then, he took out another cigarette and put it in his mouth, and hit the lighter with a "pop".

Under the light of the lighter, the ashtray on the table was full of cigarette butts, and even there were many cigarette butts lying on the ground.

The sound of "buzzing" was heard, one after another, and it never stopped.

He flipped through his phone and pressed the answer button.

A voice immediately came from the mobile phone: "Leader, are you okay......?

"It's not a matter of face. I can't die. With that, he dropped his phone.
