When he was about to get off work in the afternoon, Chu Tianqi was looking at a document when the landline phone on his desk rang.

Looking at the caller ID above, Chu Tianqi deliberately spent a while before picking up the earpiece and "hey".

A kind voice immediately came from the phone: "Mayor Tianqi, do you have time now? ”

"There is time, but it's not convenient to go to your office. Chu Tianqi said lazily: "The leader has special regulations, if there is no special matter, I can't go out of the house, even if there is, I have to say hello in advance." If it's very special, then I'll write a written report to the relevant leaders and see if the leaders approve it. ”

There was a pause in the earpiece before an embarrassed laugh came: "That's it, I'll go to you." With that, the voice stopped abruptly.

A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Chu Tianqi put down the phone receiver. Putting the papers on the table in a drawer, he lit a cigarette and smoked it.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

Chu Tianqi snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, lit a cigarette again, and then said "Come in".

As soon as the door opened, Wang Yongxin walked into the room, coughing, and waving his right hand: "It's all smoke, why don't you open the window for ventilation?"

"I don't dare to open the window, that will collude with the outside, and during the special period, I will not do anything harmful to myself and others. Chu Tianqi said jokingly, "Mayor, if you come here at this time, if you are poisoned, I will not be responsible." ”

An embarrassed look appeared on Wang Yongxin's yellow face: "Mayor Tianqi is really joking, you are not a virus, you are serious." ”

"Mayor, I'm doing this for your own good, and it's dangerous for you to casually enter the quarantine place. In the eyes of some people, I may be more powerful than a virus. Chu Tianqi still sneered, sat on the chair, and did not get up to give up his seat.

Wang Yongxin sat on the chair opposite him and sighed: "Hey, Mayor Tianqi, I can understand your feelings, in fact, we are in the same situation, and even I am not as good as you." ”

"Is it? You are also restricted from freedom? Then you came here to write a report and get it approved? You said that you are not as good as me, is someone using methods against you?" Chu Tianqi said in a shocked tone, "That's too much, after all, you are the mayor of a city, different from my dispensable deputy." ”

Seeing Chu Tianqi's sarcastic words, Wang Yongxin said simply: "If you have a grudge, then send it to me, who made me your squad leader and big brother? When are you angry enough, I will speak again, okay?"

Originally, he was going to tease the other party again, but now that the other party has directly made his words clear, Chu Tianqi is not good at saying any more sarcastic words, which would be too unqualified. So, he pinched off the cigarette butt and lit another one, spitting out clouds.

Seeing that Chu Tianqi was no longer grinding, Wang Yongxin said again: "Tianqi, you and I both understand that it is not an accidental move to hold a construction safety on-site meeting in our city this time, and we have been a hundred times more careful about this, so the process is quite smooth." But who would have thought that at this juncture, there would be a mine explosion accident. Although there was an explosion, not a single body was found, and no one was lost, which is a blessing in my heart and a joy to behold. In my opinion, the necessary punishment and education should be carried out for the mines involved, and the safety production inspections should be carried out in these mining enterprises, and at most appropriate punishment should be imposed on the relevant personnel of the management department, and the matter will be over.

However, I don't count if I say it, in this matter I am a pawn controlled by others, and I can neither decide my own fate, nor influence the development of the chess game. What's more, the time when this happened was too strange, but it was when the provincial leaders, the provincial construction management department and related enterprises were there. As a provincial leader, on such an important occasion, when you encounter such a thing, you must be very angry, and there is a reason for the instructions to strictly investigate and handle it, so you can only blame yourself for being treated like this. ”

Chu Tianqi sneered: "So you have endless suspicions and humiliation of me, until you put me under house arrest, is this the decree on which it is based?" or is it the instruction of which leader?"

"Tianqi, maybe I can't use the right words, it's really not the right time. Who asked you to be in charge of urban construction and land, and then you first got a migrant worker falling from a building, and now you are making the incident of a mine explosion?" Wang Yongxin was very patient, "Sometimes this is the case, the more you do, the more problems you have, but who made us all cadres who do practical things? Just take more responsibility." ”

Chu Tianqi sighed: "Okay! Since the mayor has said everything about this, I won't say anything if I have a grudge, so put me under house arrest." If you delay work, you can't complain about me, I'm ordered to rest. ”

Wang Yongxin smiled "haha": "Tianqi, if you think so, I'm relieved." I knew that you were a big-picture person. ”

Chu Tianqi also squeezed out a smile: "Mayor, you don't have to put a high hat on me, in fact, I don't have a complete understanding, why should I be under house arrest? It's just that you personally came to the door to persuade me, how can I give the mayor face, so I am willing to be wronged." Speaking of this, he changed the topic, "Mayor, thank you for being willing to take the risk of coming to the door at such a time, but I really can't bear to implicate you, so I won't keep you." When it's convenient, let's talk about it in detail. As he spoke, Chu Tianqi stood up, completely in a posture of sending off guests.

"Tianqi, you're too anxious, I haven't finished yet. Wang Yongxin sat still, "There is one more thing, I need to communicate with you, I need to ask for your opinion." ”

Chu Tianqi let out an "oh" and sat down: "Is there anything else?" Mayor, you don't have to worry about my business all the time, I think right and wrong have their own justice, and sooner or later they will give me justice." ”

The other party always screwed up with his own intentions, so Wang Yongxin said directly: "Tianqi, you see that this incident has also happened, and after all, it is within the scope of your responsibility, and the provincial leaders also attach great importance to it, and the Provincial Safety Supervision Bureau is still continuing to investigate." As a city in our city, we can't do without a little attitude, but also have a positive attitude, right?"

Now the public security, land, safety supervision, health and other departments of Chengkang City have been cooperating, and it has been more than 30 hours now, and many people may not even have their eyes for a while. If I hadn't been under house arrest, I would have been on the scene right now. This gesture is not positive enough?" Chu Tianqi looked very puzzled.

"Tianqi, you understand it right, the provincial leaders attach great importance to such a big matter, and the relevant departments are also staring at it, someone in the city has to take the initiative to take some responsibility. Wang Yongxin said, "Of course, the meaning of the organization, which is also an attitude, allows the provincial leaders and these departments in the province to have a step down." ”

Chu Tianqi let out an "oh", nodded, and then took two breaths in a row: "Mayor, I don't think it's necessary, anyway, no one died, not even injured people, the province can investigate how it should be investigated, why should the mayor take the initiative to take responsibility? This responsibility is not taken casually, maybe some departments are preparing to find trouble, I think you should dispel this idea." ”

"I ...... I didn't say that I wanted to take responsibility, I wanted you to ......," Wang Yongxin paused, "The meaning of the city is to let you take the initiative to take some responsibilities and give an explanation to the province." ”

"Me?" Chu Tianqi pointed to himself, "Who means?" Mayor, this is your idea?"

Wang Yongxin waved his hand again and again: "No, no, no, in fact, I don't approve of doing this, but, hey...... Both of us belong to the government system, and it is inevitable that there will be melons and plums, and I really can't say anything for you. Of course, I also spoke for you, but my energy alone is limited. ”

Chu Tianqi waved his hand violently: "Mayor, needless to say, you don't have to be embarrassed, whoever wants to let whoever comes." Why should I take the initiative to take responsibility for anything that happens? I am in charge of the land, but there was not even a single casualty in this explosion accident, so why should I take the initiative to take responsibility? Some people want to get rid of their responsibilities and want to show their merits to the leaders, so they can't take me as a victim, right? I am young and lack experience in officialdom, but I am not stupid, is this responsibility taken casually? Why should I defile myself? According to the relevant procedures, even if the person responsible is dealt with, it will certainly not reach me, the deputy mayor. If we insist on expanding it, then there are more officials in the city who are bigger than me, and these officials in charge of me can also have something to do with this matter, so why don't these officials take the initiative to take responsibility? Isn't this bullying my youth?"

Wang Yongxin coughed twice again: "Tianqi, don't go online!"

"Mayor, am I on the line? Someone wants to use the excuse to rectify the person, and someone forces you to be difficult to be a person among them. Chu Tianqi's tone was very impulsive, "Mayor, you go back and tell these people that if anyone thinks that I should be held responsible, then ask him to come and count my crimes in person." I, Chu Tianqi, am also a reasonable person, as long as what he says can convince me, then I won't say a word, I will take whatever I have to do. But if you fool a stupid boy like this, I'll be forgiven for my fate. In addition, don't deceive people too much, no one lives alone in this world, there will always be fair people, and there will always be a place to reason. If anyone wants to bully me specifically, I won't accept this, so be careful to shoot yourself in the foot. ”

Wang Yongxin's face was ugly: "Mayor Tianqi, this party spirit ......"

"It is precisely because I want to stress party spirit that I cannot tolerate this kind of persecution under the guise of an organization. Chu Tianqi spoke, slamming his palm on the table, "I am responsible for the party spirit." ”

After a "pop", the room fell silent.

The expression on Wang Yongxin's face changed several times.

Chu Tianqi's face sank like water, and he watched coldly.

Gathering his mind, Wang Yongxin stood up and said, "I'm just acting on orders." ”

"Thank you, Mayor Wang, I understand. Chu Tianqi squeezed out a smile, "I won't embarrass you, and please don't embarrass me." ”

Glancing at the other party, Wang Yongxin stopped talking, turned around and walked out of the room quickly.

With a "bang", the door closed, and Chu Tianqi showed a knowing smile.
