It is rare that Liang Jian stayed in Diao Yimin's office for more than 40 minutes. During the period, Secretary Ma came in to remind the time, and the meeting was at 10:10 o'clock, and Diao Yimin was delayed. When Secretary Ma left, he glanced at Liang Jian in surprise.

came out of Diao Yimin's office, passed by Secretary Ma's office, and suddenly heard him shouting inside: "Secretary Liang, please stay." ”

Liang Jian stopped, Secretary Ma walked out of it quickly, stood in front of Liang Jian, and said, "Sister Ni asked me to tell you, you will wait for her downstairs later, she has something for you." ”

Liang Jian was stunned, and after coming back to his senses, he hurriedly said, "Okay." Thank you, Secretary Ma. ”

Secretary Ma smiled back, and Liang Jian was stunned again. This secretary Ma has also been in contact with him a few times, but today is the first time he has shown him a smile. After savoring it again, it seems that after coming out of Diao Yimin's office just now, Secretary Ma's attitude towards him was a little different. Liang Jian, who knew the taste well, sighed in his heart the reality of Secretary Ma, and said goodbye to Secretary Ma. As soon as I entered the elevator, my mobile phone shook, and Ni Xiuyun's text message came.

Liang Jian called her back directly: "Sister, Secretary Ma said you have something to give me?" ”

Ni Xiuyun replied: "Well, don't you like to drink tea?" Just now the farm gave me some cloud tea, I think you seem to like drinking this, share half of it. ”

Liang Jian was not polite, so he asked, "Then where am I waiting for you?" ”

"Are you in the elevator now? Go straight to the underground parking lot, I'll be waiting for you there. After agreeing on the location, I hung up the phone. When Liang Jian got out of the elevator, Ni Xiuyun was already waiting. Maybe it's because it's working hours, and it's quiet in the underground parking lot.

Ni Xiuyun handed over a cowhide bag, and Liang Jian took it while saying with a smile: "Thank you, Sister Ni, for thinking so much about me." ”

Ni Xiuyun laughed, her eyes narrowed slightly, and her eyes were gentle: "You scream at your sister all day long, can I not think about you!" What do you think? ”

Naturally, she asked about Liang Jian's search for Diao Yimin. Liang Jian recalled the words Diao Yimin said in his mind, and replied: "The attitude is not clear!" ”

Ni Xiuyun's expression was relaxed, and she said, "Secretary Diao has always been very cautious in what he says and does. Since there is no explicit refusal, this shows that there is still a lot of room for this matter. You might as well go for it again. ”

Liang Jian nodded: "Well, I'll think of another way." ”

Ni Xiuyun raised her hand to look at the time and said, "Okay, you can go back." Stay safe on the road. ”

Leaving the provincial government building, Liang Jian sat in the passenger seat of the car, looking at the people and things flying outside the window, but his thoughts were always on Diao Yimin's words.

Liang Jian sat in Diao Yimin's office for about forty minutes, which was enough for Secretary Ma, who didn't know the whole process, to change his attitude towards Liang Jian. But Liang Jian, who was in it, knew that to some extent, this length of time represented nothing and could not represent anything.

For more than half of the forty minutes, Diao Yimin was looking at the plan. The remaining half of the time, and half of it was silence. Liang Jian couldn't guess what he was thinking. The rest of the time, more than half of it was Liang Jian's speech, and the remaining less than five minutes was the time for Diao Yimin to speak. In five minutes, Diao Yimin said a total of twelve sentences. Liang Jian remembered every word he said.

At that time, after Diao Yimin asked Liang Jian if Professor Shen was the same Professor Shen, he didn't speak for nearly twenty minutes for the next twenty minutes, until he put down the plan, and then said in a flat tone: "Professor Shen's ability is still good, except for some details, this plan may not be enough to fit the actual situation of the entire Xiling Province, but the whole is okay." However, this matter is a matter for you, the secretary of the municipal party committee, how to do it, what to decide, you don't have to show it to me. ”

Diao Yimin's sentence is actually a bit ...... How to say it, it is a little too much to use hypocrisy, and it is better to use official language, and some are not appropriate. Liang Jian didn't know how to describe it. However, he knew that Diao Yimin didn't care about this plan as much as he said, otherwise he could completely ignore this plan, let alone look at it so carefully. These 20 minutes are enough to prove that Diao Yimin is very concerned about the transformation and rectification plan of Taihe City.

If you care, it's easy to do. Liang Jian has more confidence in the conversation that followed. immediately picked up the words: "I have just arrived in Taihe City for less than half a year, although I have some understanding of the overall situation of Taihe City, I dare not say that I understand it very thoroughly. This transformation and rectification plan will involve the coal mining industry. The coal mining industry in Taihe City has a great impact not only on Taihe City, but also on the entire Xiling Province. Therefore, I don't dare to make an opinion, and I want to listen to Secretary Diao's opinion. ”

Liang Jian looked at Diao Yimin, waiting for his answer. He drank tea, unhurried, and his expression was also unwavering, and he couldn't see any clues.

He didn't speak, and Liang Jian was not in a hurry, waiting patiently. In the twenty minutes just now, Liang Jian could basically determine that Diao Yimin must have attached importance to this matter. One sentence in Diao Yimin's words before was okay, and it can be seen that Diao Yimin is satisfied with this plan. Attaching importance to and satisfying is enough to make Liang Jian feel at ease. Diao Yimin will definitely say something.

Sure enough, Diao Yimin still spoke.

"Coal mines are a good thing. However, good things also depend on how to use them! Now we are talking about ecological and environmental protection, and we in Xiling Province cannot drag the whole country back. ”

Although Diao Yimin's words are a little vague, the meaning is clear enough. Liang Jian was overjoyed, and immediately walked up the vine, saying: "But at present, most of the people in the Taihe City team do not support the reform of the coal mining industry, and they mainly consider the impact that the reform will bring." But I believe that this impact is short-term, and as long as the pace of reform is carried out well, this impact can be controlled to a certain extent. ”

Diao Yimin glanced at Liang Jian and said, "Since you have thought it through, what are you hesitating about?" ”

Liang Jian was finally about to throw out the point, Diao Yimin seemed to be able to see through Liang Jian's thoughts, and when he was about to open his mouth, he was suddenly interrupted by Diao Yimin: "If you want to intercede for Chen Jie, then you don't have to speak." There is no room for this. ”

Liang Jian was shocked for a moment, and looked at Diao Yimin's gaze, and couldn't help but be a little surprised. After calming down a little, Liang Jian spoke: "I don't want to intercede for Chen Jie, I want to ask Secretary Diao to do me a favor in the face of this plan and the selection of the secretary general of the municipal party committee." I have only been here for about three months, and my foundation in the Taihe City team is too thin, and if the position of secretary general falls into the hands of some well-intentioned people, I am afraid that this plan will be more likely to die by me alone. ”

After listening to Liang Jian's words, Diao Yimin looked at Liang Jian's eyes meaningfully, and after staring at him for a few seconds, he suddenly smiled and said, "Liang Jian, you are very smart." ”

Liang Jian was about to feel a trace of pride and joy in his heart, when he suddenly heard him say after what he said just now: "However, I haven't learned the word clumsiness yet." ”

Diao Yimin said with a smile, and the smugness and joy in Liang Jian's heart quietly shattered, but at the same time, he was also relieved. It seems that Diao Yimin agreed.

Liang Jian had achieved his goal, so he got up and took his leave. When he was about to leave, Diao Yimin suddenly stopped him, the smile on his face was gone, and he looked very serious: "Since you know that there are people in this province, then you should also know that some things may not be as good as you want." ”

Liang Jian nodded: "I understand, Secretary Diao." ”

"It's good to understand." Diao Yimin looked at him: "Bring the door when you go out." ”

That's the whole process. The last sentence is satisfactory, telling Liang Jian that if he can't do anything in Diao, then he will give up fighting for this position. This is also telling Liang Jian not to be happy too early and to prepare for the worst. Therefore, when Ni Xiuyun asked, Liang Jian replied to her with an unclear attitude.

In fact, it was Liang Jian who was a little more demanding. It's actually quite good for a leader to be able to say such things. Liang Jian actually understands this truth, but maybe he hopes that this reform can be successful, but the current situation in Taihe City makes him feel faintly powerless, and he needs a backing to support him. This backing doesn't need to be very strong, it just needs to be able to help when he needs it. And in Xiling Province, the people who can be his backing, at present, except for Diao Yimin, there is no one else. Therefore, subconsciously, Liang Jian's requirements for Diao Yimin are higher.

And, on Diao Yimin's side, he also has high requirements for Liang Jian.

In fact, if there is an outsider looking at Liang Jian and Diao Yimin, you will find that the situation of the two of them is very similar. Diao Yimin is the provincial secretary of Xiling Province, and he has not been in office for a long time. Governor Huo Jiaju has been in power for three years, and more than half of his term of office has passed. In the past three years, because of the relationship between Vice Governor Luo Guanzhong, his power has been hollowed out, and the feeling of powerlessness has been entangled with him as the governor's hat. He was unwilling to leave Xiling Province in discouragement, but he couldn't do anything about Luo Guanzhong. After Diao Yimin took office, he has been trying to contact Diao Yimin, and after contact again and again, the two of them have found their own reasons for cooperation, and they have gradually moved closer to each other, and there is a tendency to stand in a line. But even if the two of them stand on the front line, it is wishful thinking to shake Luo Guanzhong's strength for a while. Luo Guanzhong has been in Xiling Province for many years, and the implantation of power can be said to be deep-rooted, and there are very few people who can use it under the two of them, so he has always been cautious and can only figure it out slowly. In such a situation, Liang Jian's appearance was a surprise for Diao Yimin and Huo Jiaju. Perhaps, this is a stroke of genius, and it is the key to their breakthrough from the current predicament.

But Diao Yimin and Huo Jiaju are used to being cautious, and when they don't have a certain understanding and control of Liang Jian's ability and character, they don't dare to blatantly reuse it with great fanfare, so the previous contact between Diao Yimin and Liang Jian was partly to throw an olive branch, and partly to be a temptation.
