"Why did you come here in person, just say hello and I'll pass over there!" Fang Jianshe was a little surprised and couldn't believe it when he saw Qi Tianxiang enter the door, but he hurriedly walked out from behind the desk, stretched out his hand to Qi Tianxiang, and smiled to hide his panic, "This sudden entry into the door is like checking the post, so I am not prepared at all." [Ran^Text^Library] []”

"Prepare what? How do you plan to prepare, burn incense and bathe three days in advance, or start fasting a week ago, stay away from meat **, and abstain from all entertainment activities? Can you do it, old man? Qi Tianxiang glanced at Fang Jianshe angrily, and slowly walked towards the sofa under his instructions, and said slowly as he walked: "I don't dare to say Chagang, it's always okay to come and visit!" It's been a few months, and it's the first time I've visited your old man's office! ”

As he spoke, Qi Tianxiang stopped in front of a green plant, and looked at it seriously, which dark green straight and wide leaves, evenly distributed clear veins, round and plump shape, and the purple-red stamens that will not open, seemed to deeply attract Qi Tianxiang's attention, and after carefully counting the leaves, he asked in surprise: "This is the legendary purple Tiankui, twelve leaves, that is, the six-year growth period, it is the best period for flower color, leaves, and plant type, which is really rare." ”

"I don't know much about what Tiankui is, what plant type, I just put it here to meet the situation." Fang Jianjian's face was a little unnatural, and he said with a smile: "You old Qi understands this." ”

"This is what I have seen in the information, I have heard of it, but I have not seen it. A few years ago, there was a crazy Junzi Orchid craze in the Northeast, this plant was enshrined as a divine product, in order to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages, according to the flower color, leaves, plant type, and growth time, set up the 'Kui Xing Guancan, Fang Ya Jinsong' eight grades, all with the prefix of the word Tianzi, this purple flower system is originally rare, plus the leaves are round, wide, the leaf tendons are clear and straight, the plant type is broad and heavy, it is regarded as the best, ranking the first of the eight Yan. It's a pity that the world is unpredictable, and the prosperity is no longer there, otherwise this pot of Junzi Orchid, the people who admire it are not Wuyang Wuyang, you can't go away. Qi Tianxiang smiled with a little regret and said modestly: "Although these are all jokes and cannot be counted, the orchid quality of 'not competing with pine and bamboo, smiling at autumn chrysanthemum is better than plum fragrance' is still commendable." In fact, I also know a little about flowers and green plants, Comrade Fang Xiang is a master, not only understand, but also fine, can be called an expert. ”

Hearing Qi Tianxiang suddenly mention Fang Xiang, executive deputy director of the Central Organization Department, Fang Jianshe immediately became vigilant, knowing that Fang Xiang was the deputy secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection before, and he appreciated Qi Tianxiang very much, and he had a close relationship with Zheng Ming, vice president of the Central Party School, and had a good personal relationship. Zheng Ming and Qi Tianxiang have a teacher-student friendship, they have the same heart and similar interests, this is an open secret of Hehai officialdom, and they once had a relationship between superiors and subordinates, and they cared for Qi Tianxiang, and even never concealed their views and attitudes. It is said that when investigating the corruption case of Hezhou Heavy Machinery Group, he encountered great resistance, and Zheng Ming even did not hesitate to invite Fang Xiang to Hezhou to suppress the battle, and finally obtained a happy ending, and also achieved a brilliant career of Qi Tianxiang's officialdom.

Now hearing Qi Tianxiang mention Fang Xiang, Fang Jianshe is not only alert, but also a little unhappy, it seems that Qi Tianxiang intends to elevate himself in order to prove his knowledge and relationship, but looking at Qi Tianxiang's calm and indifferent expression, it is difficult to make an accurate judgment, so he has to laugh and say: "Haha, you still don't understand this, what will it look like if you understand, I really can't figure it out." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and motioned for Qi Tianxiang to sit on the sofa, and after Qi Tianxiang slowly sat down, he gently pushed the teacup brought by the secretary Xiao Li Gang in front of Qi Tianxiang, and then handed over a cigarette, and after lighting it with Qi Tianxiang, he also lit it himself, took a puff slowly, and said slowly: "No matter how good the flowers are in my place, they are all decorations, there is no time to do business, there is no time to appreciate, and every day the top is like a spinning top, just say that this office, big or small, when you can sit here quietly, how much time can you have every day?" ”

Qi Tianxiang looked at Fang Jianjian's complaints, thinking about the elements of justification and self-deprecation, which was bigger, and it seemed that the elements of justification were bigger. After all, the same office, Qi Tianxiang and other rooms each have one, the furnishings and layout are basically similar, all of them are planted in the middle, and the two areas are separated, so that the office and meetings do not interfere. Qi Tianxiang thought that the office was too big and let it out, and the construction of his room was still working in it, which seemed so out of place both psychologically and emotionally. Now, after Qi Tianxiang came to the door, it was invisibly a gesture, even if there was no meaning of questioning, it also had a contrasting effect.

Perhaps Fang Jianjian's first thought was this floor, Qi Tianxiang didn't want to explain too much, but slowly picked up the teacup in front of him, took a small sip, couldn't help frowning, and said dissatisfiedly: "You old guy is not interesting enough!" Just take this tea to entertain guests, isn't this fooling people? How can you also get some sharp buds and the like, this big leaf is also called green tea? ”

"Be content! It's not bad to have this big leaf to drink, I can't compare to where you are clean, you don't see that my office is like a vegetable market, every day Wuyang Wuyang people, and the countryside to catch up with the big market, where can I afford good tea! Fang Jianshe seemed to have finally found an opportunity to fight back, so he glanced at Qi Tianxiang with a good smile, and complained: "Just these big leaves, I don't know how much to consume every day, and I am also a rough person, what good tea and tea, as long as there is a tea flavor, I can't taste any fragrance." ”

"That's not right! You're not going to watch people put food on the plate, are you! Qi Tianxiang smiled slightly to ease the atmosphere, looked at the cigarette in his hand and said slowly: "This Wuyang Wuyang people only drink tea, don't smoke?" Why don't I believe it! ”

"I really can't hide your Secretary Qi's sharp eyes, I'm not interested in tea, I don't make do with cigarettes, I'm used to smoking this brand of cigarettes, and I really don't want to change it." Fang Jianshe seemed to be in Qi Tianxiang's mind, and said with a smile: "It can be regarded as a soft spot!" It seems that I should really prepare some good tea here in the future, and always be ready to entertain elegant people like you, Secretary Qi. ”

"Hehe, okay, I'll wait for your good tea." Qi Tianxiang said with a smile, stretched his waist as if he had completed the greeting procedure, looked around everything in the office, and suddenly seemed to be attracted by something, stood up and walked to the wall, and said slowly: "You can really hold an exhibition of calligraphy works here." ”

As he spoke, Qi Tianxiang browsed the dazzling calligraphy on the wall, between the banners, banners, and the middle hall, he quickly locked a cursive work, carefully looked at the inscription and the inscription, looked at it for a long time, and stood a little farther away, and then looked at it for a long time before he appreciated the construction of the house: "You are really a collection of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign calligraphy works here, there are all kinds of lines, grass, subordinates, and seals, and most of the cursive and wild grass, you can see the preferences and attainments of the collector!" ”

After speaking, he hurriedly corrected: "No, it shouldn't be ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, foreigners don't understand and can't know traditional Chinese calligraphy, they shouldn't be included." Watching Fang Jianshe slowly come over, he pointed to the calligraphy that he had just watched carefully and said: "This everyone's calligraphy can no longer be hung out, it was originally priceless, and now it has been made ancient, and the price has changed from square feet to square inches, and works like this kind of special inscription are even more rare and precious." ”

"It's also indiscriminate, in fact, where do I know this, it's okay to let me do some serious things in normal times, and it's really not my strong point to dance and ink." Fang Jianshe said with a self-deprecating smile, as if he was afraid that Qi Tianxiang would say something embarrassing to him again, so he pulled Qi Tianxiang's arm, glared at Qi Tianxiang slightly with dissatisfaction, and said slowly: "You came here early in the morning, won't you just enjoy flowers and talk about grass, read books and talk about words!" ”

"Why not?" Qi Tianxiang smiled slightly and walked back to the sofa and sat down, lit a cigarette and smoked slowly and leisurely. He knew that Fang Jianshe was uneasy, and he also knew that Fang Jianshe would think of what he was going to say, but Fang Jianshe didn't say anything when he thought of it. In fact, this kind of unanimous thought is not caused by the heart, but by the calligraphy on the wall.

Fang Jianshe has no hobbies, as he said, drinking tea is definitely an amateur level, you can drink any tea, and you don't care about any tea, and you can catch what tea to drink, as long as there is color or some taste. Holding a large plastic cup all the year round, no matter what meeting or attending any event, almost never leave his hand, and later was severely reprimanded by a central leader of Hehai before changing to a delicate glass thermos cup.

It is said that it was a central leader who went to the airport to greet Beijing, maybe he was in a hurry, maybe he forgot, Fang Jianshe hurriedly walked into the airport VIP lounge with a big cup in his hand, and when he walked out of breath to the leader who had been waiting for a long time, the leader who was already dissatisfied with his belated arrival looked him up and down for a long time, and said coldly: "I'm not thirsty, I don't need to take such a big cup to deliver water." ”

One sentence made Fang Jianshe embarrassed and couldn't get off the stage, facing more than a dozen local cadres large and small in the VIP hall, Fang Jianjian's face was flushed and purple, and he couldn't wait to find a crack to get into. I also blame myself for my hurry, I used to put the quilt on the special car, and I have a more serious diabetes, and I can't do without water when I am thirsty all day, today because of some things I delayed for a while, hurry up or let the central leaders arrive first, and waited in the VIP hall for so long, and hurriedly explained, but it is still difficult to eliminate the anger of the leaders, although it is only a slightly serious unpleasantness, but the frustrated house construction, or throw the big teacup in the trash can of the airport.

It's an anecdote about teacups, but the story of drinking is even more ridiculous. It was still a few decades ago when he was the secretary of the township party committee, and he was relatively young and vigorous when he first entered the official career. At that time, the vice governor Liang Sanbu passed by his township for grassroots research, and heard that the mutton soup here was good, so he made a special trip to taste it. After eating, he got into the car and found that there was a car blocking the way out, the driver honked his horn to ask the car blocking the road to move, Fang Jianshe was drinking in the hotel next door, the car was driven by him, and he was very dissatisfied after being called out, feeling that it hurt his face, and shouted drunkenly.

"Please just move the car away, Liang Sanbu is in the car." The driver kindly reminded.

"Two or three steps, I'm not happy, not a single step." Fang Jianshe glared domineeringly, looked at Poussin in front of him viciously, and returned to the hotel without looking back without a hesitation, and continued to drink.

Later, someone else from the township government moved the car out of the way and helped the drunken Fang Jianjian back to the office. When Fang Jianshe woke up, the black gauze hat on his head also flew with the dream, when Fang Jianshe understood the reason for the matter, his intestines were repentant, but there was no way but to start all over again, fortunately, he was young and courageous, and he was also very capable of working, and soon re-sat in the position of the township chief, and made great progress all the way. The most obvious change is to quit drinking, no matter what the wine field, it is red wine or beer, and the liquor does not move, and the most annoying song to hear is "Start Again".

For so many years, there is no hobby in the construction of the house, that is, there is a deep preference for calligraphy, and by the love of fascination, to the extent of deep obsession, not only the study of hard work, but also made a lot of calligrapher friends, as long as there is time will always find some people who understand calligraphy to discuss, there are a lot of calligraphy works, always try their best to include the hand, but this is only between the modern calligrapher's Mobao, the precious calligraphy is absolutely not touched, this is also his cautious place.

But for their own Mobao, but is not stingy, written to give away, as long as someone asks for words is basically responsive, encounter the request for inscription is also try to meet, for a period of time the streets and alleys of Hezhou City have his inscription plaque and name, large to the community building, small to kindergarten, snack bar, have appeared his inscription, caused a great response, and even has a paragraph in the community: "Ask the way do not need to ask the police, look at the inscription to know how far away from the city center, where there are people, there is Mayor Fang's Mobao, It's like a serious look, vigilantly guarding the streets and alleys. ”

The rumors still reached the ears of Fang Jianjian, and then naturally converged a little, and also made people clean up the inscriptions and plaques on the streets and alleys, and no longer easily inscribed plaques and inscriptions, but the enthusiasm for writing has not diminished at all, and he calls himself "bookworm". It should be said that his words still have some skills, especially cursive is self-contained, similar to his character, wild and uninhibited and relaxed, at first glance vulgar and unbearable, but careful but meticulous, and very disciplined, has been praised and affirmed by many calligraphers in China.

"Don't beat around the bush with me, I know what you mean, and I know what you're trying to say." Fang Jianshe looked at Qi Tianxiang smoking leisurely, as if he had nothing to do, he couldn't hold his breath anymore, glanced at Qi Tianxiang unhappily, and couldn't help but say: "You are such a big secretary, you have the leisure to go to my office early in the morning to enjoy the flowers and evaluate the calligraphy, lie to you!" ”

"I won't talk about it when you know, the so-called heart and soul are not all connected, you and I have the same mind, and what do you say." Qi Tianxiang smiled slightly, around such a big bend, just waiting for the construction of the house to take the initiative to ask, now that the purpose has been achieved, he is not in a hurry, he slowly stood up, and said indifferently: "The goal has been achieved, I should also go, I just said, I just came to visit your place, there is nothing to please." ”

"I want to leave, it's flowers, it's tea, it's calligraphy, you're too addicted, you just slap your ass and leave, you want to be beautiful." Fang Jianshe raised his voice, and said slightly unhappily: "You don't say it, I said, I have read the report, in principle, there is no opinion, you are the number one, as long as you make the decision, my old house has no two words, just follow the implementation." ”

"How do you hear this, how do you feel that there is still emotion!" Qi Tianxiang smiled, cheered up to deal with the construction of the house, such a conversation is destined to not be easy, Qi Tianxiang is also fully prepared, fully considered the possible reaction of the construction of the house, and also designed the corresponding method, "The two of us are separated by a partner, a team, there is a division of labor but we can't be distracted, otherwise there will be any mistakes, and the upper panel will just hit my old Qi's ass?" ”

Qi Tianxiang's words made Fang Jianjian a little surprised, but also a little discouraged and helpless, although he was unwilling, but the reality was so obvious there, always reminding each other of their identities and gaps. Just like this kind of blame and ridicule, Qi Tianxiang can use it at will, play it at will, and the construction of other houses will not work, not only will it not work, but even such emotions and reactions will not work. The reason is very simple, Qi Tianxiang is the secretary of the municipal party committee, the leader of the team, and has absolute rights and authority, which can be dispensed with, but cannot be ignored, let alone despise. Speaking of himself, he is the mayor and the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, which is negligible in other cities, and even sometimes can be swapped at will, but the division of labor is different, or more simply, the difference in the department in charge, they are all department-level cadres, and they all need to rely on their work and political achievements to prove themselves. But in this provincial capital, it is an insurmountable gap, the difference is between the vice province and the main department, the bigger difference is the difference between the ministry management cadres and the provincial management cadres, it is two different management systems, and it is not a gap that can be bridged by hard work. Two people work in a team, but there is a gap in the actual level, not a difference in the division of labor, arguments or contradictions, and even mistakes in the work.

These are the realities that the housing construction has to accept after a long period of painful thinking, the so-called "kung fu is outside the poem", this is the truth, this is not hard work or hard work can be changed, it is simple to say that it is talent, cruelly said it is the will of God. Since he was transferred from the position of secretary of the Hezhong Municipal Party Committee to the mayor of Hezhou City, he has already sent away the two secretaries of the municipal party committee, and if you add Longjiang, who is living in the hospital with a violent illness, he is already three secretaries of the municipal party committee, and the old saying that nothing more than three seems to have no meaning at all in this matter. When he first came, he seemed to be calm, after all, from the qualifications, experience, experience, and personal connections, he thought that there was a considerable distance from the position of the secretary of the municipal party committee. But after sending away the first secretary and ushering in the second secretary, there have been some subtle changes in psychology, especially the organization and construction of the National Games, which is one of the important achievements of the promotion secretary. Especially after Longjiang took over as secretary, his heart was even more unbalanced, Longjiang's qualifications are similar to his own, they are all city secretaries, when he was the secretary of the municipal party committee in Hezhong City, Longjiang was still the mayor of Haidong City, and later became the secretary of the municipal party committee, he went to Hezhou City as the mayor for two years, and Longjiang went to Qindao City to be the mayor. They are all sub-provincial cities, all are mayors at the department level, the only difference is that one is the provincial capital, the other is a strong industrial city, and Qindao is a famous tourist city, every year there are central leaders, especially the old leaders who are from Hehai or have worked in Hehai, go to Qindao for summer recuperation. As a result, Longjiang did not take over as secretary of the municipal party committee in Qindao, but went to Hezhou City to be the squad leader of housing construction. This made Fang Jianjian very depressed and depressed for a long time, from infigurable to helpless acceptance, it can be said that it has experienced a long and painful process, and also fully experienced the artistic conception and bitterness of "Kung Fu outside the poem". After learning from the pain, he gradually understood and accepted the reality, if Longjiang was lucky, it was better to say that he did not have the resources to make full use of, and there were no mountains and circles to rely on.

Longjiang's sudden hospitalization gave him new hope, and also ignited the ** fire that had been silent in his heart for a long time, and accumulated all his efforts to make the last sprint, and the province and even Beijing, it can be said that the relationship that can be used has been tried, because he also understands that with his age, maybe this is the last chance to rise. After a period of operation, the news fed back from all sides was very exciting, and he was repeatedly reminded to wait patiently, the tormented wait was long and unbearable, but the result of waiting was Qi Tianxiang's falling from the sky, the news suddenly made him unbalanced, and he couldn't hold back his depressed mood, so that at the meeting on the day Lin Dongsheng sent Qi Tianxiang to take office, his abnormal performance aroused Lin Dongsheng's vigilance, and of course it also attracted Qi Tianxiang's attention.

It can be said that everything Qi Tianxiang did afterwards was for himself to see, whether it was a performance at the Standing Committee, or a visit to old leaders and comrades, or even a series of symposiums, it was nothing more than the power of the secretary of the municipal party committee to display his own authoritative tricks. This meeting house construction has full patience, waiting for Qi Tianxiang's counterattack, or a life-and-death struggle for power and profit, such a bridge has been repeatedly staged between him and Longjiang in recent years.

Qi Tianxiang's mind was not put on the struggle for power and profit, after the visit and symposium, it was the wandering of the districts and counties, and they all only watched and did not speak, the TV was gone, the newspaper was nowhere to go, and then it was what social customs and activities were re-established, and the city's news media were concentrated to carry forward what fine traditions and styles, and even went to the beach to engage in theoretical seminars and forums, and even went into battle to publish signed or anonymous articles, fooling what positive energy, It seems that he only cares about showing the magnificence of the article, that is, the perfection of his own image, no one knows what he wants to do, and he doesn't care about the people, money, materials and economic issues under the jurisdiction of his municipal government, and he seems to be staying up for time, and when the time comes, he will pat his ass and leave. Just when the housing construction was slightly relaxed its vigilance, the establishment of a workers' mutual aid and cooperative organization in Hezhou City was like a thunderbolt in the sky, and it exploded all over the house, which not only won the support of the broad masses of the people, but also the secretary of the provincial party committee and the governor of the province came to stand and cheer. Not long after this big satellite was released, it was not yet fully adapted, and a bigger satellite went into the sky again.

Facing the report in front of him, Fang Jianshe deeply admired Qi Tianxiang's vision and means, Qi Tianxiang, who seemed to be weak and inconspicuous, was at best a teacher in the crowd. In fact, he is thoughtful, well-planned, and does everything with deep thought and planning, just like a martial arts master, who seems to be weak, or a beggar, a woodcutter, it is easy to be ignored, or even despised, but once you fight, although you play 10,000 spirits, but it is also a blink of an eye, a set of combination punches will be completed in an instant, neither gorgeous and dazzling, nor dazzling, leaving you with nothing but a different head, is to hide in the cave for a long time to heal, there is no chance to fight back, I can't see the origin of other people's martial arts. This is the gap, and it's really not okay to be unconvinced.

Maybe in Qi Tianxiang's eyes, he didn't regard his house construction as an opponent at all, nor did he disdain to treat him as an opponent, he regarded people, wealth, things and other powers as treasures, and they were worthless in the eyes of others. This is the master, that is, political wisdom, although Fang Jianjian is not convinced, but he still feels that he is not confident enough, and he is a little discouraged.

Although these thoughts only flashed in his mind for a moment, they seemed to be seen by Qi Tianxiang, so in addition to smiling, he could only get off the donkey downhill in addition to smiling: "Of course it's not that it doesn't matter, it's not that there are emotions, you Secretary Qi doesn't care about these things, my old house has to be managed, and it must be managed well." ”

"That's right, I just want to discuss with you, and before we meet with the bank, do we meet internally to communicate our thoughts?" Qi Tianxiang saw that the time was ripe, so he didn't want to go around in circles anymore, and said simply and clearly: "Gather the heads and brains of several large blocks of urban construction, planning, and finance, let's make a way ourselves, do you think it's better to talk about it here with you or where I am?" ”

"Let's get to where you are! It's cleaner and easier to talk about. Seeing that Qi Tianxiang came out of the real picture, Fang Jianjian no longer shirked, thought for a while and said categorically: "Four o'clock in the afternoon!" I'll arrange for someone to notify you. ”

Qi Tianxiang nodded, agreed to Fang Jianjian's proposal, stood up and was about to go out, walked to the door as if he remembered something, turned back to Fang Jianshe who saw him off and said with a smile: "That wild grass should really be collected, so as not to keep it so memorable." ”

"you, as long as you don't worry about it." Fang Jianshe glared at Qi Tianxiang and watched him go out with a smile.
