The flight from Beijing, after being delayed for more than half an hour, finally landed safely on the runway of Huayi Airport.

Qi Tianxiang, Zhou Tong and others waited by the ramp of the plane, waiting for Tong Anshan to appear. When a thin figure appeared at the door of the cabin, Qi Tianxiang almost thoughtlessly determined that this figure was Tong Anshan, that is, Lin Dongsheng's strict and difficult little old man.

With Tong Anshan's footsteps down the gangway, Qi Tianxiang's observation of him did not stop for a moment, the legendary grimace judge does not seem so terrifying now, and it can even be said that he is ordinary and does not look carefully, it is difficult to recognize him from the crowd. Thin and short figure, calm and serene expression, well-behaved, wearing a black casual jacket, there is nothing special to see. It's easy to ignore his presence without deliberately looking at it.

is this man with an ordinary appearance, or mediocre appearance, but he is the nemesis in the eyes of many major accident responsible units and relevant officials. It seems that wherever he appears, there will be an earthquake in officialdom, and there will be times when officials and parties will either be dismissed or imprisoned, and there will be almost no vacancy. In his keen, almost harsh eyes, as if there was nothing to hide, the responsibility and nature of the accident were immediately revealed before his eyes, in the report he provided, and the subsequent treatment would be based on the report, with few exceptions. Therefore, in private, Tong Anshan has the nickname of 'grimace judge', and he has long passed the age of retirement or recuperation, but there has never been a suitable candidate to take over, and he has remained in office until now, at the age of sixty-five, but he still sticks to the post of director of the General Bureau.

Qi Tianxiang saw that Tong Anshan was about to go down to the bottom of the gangway a few steps, so he slowly walked to the gangway, and when Tong Anshan walked down the gangway, he stretched out his hand and greeted warmly: "Welcome Director Tong and his entourage, it's been hard all the way." ”

Tong Anshan stretched out his hand to hold Qi Tianxiang's hand, looked the quiet and elegant Qi Tianxiang up and down, and responded calmly: "Comrade Qi Tianxiang!" Why did you come to pick up the airport in person, is there nothing to do? ”

In fact, when Qi Tianxiang was observing him, Tong Anshan was also looking for Qi Tianxiang from the crowd of people below at the moment he left the cabin. According to the location, it is easy to find Qi Tianxiang and compare it with the legendary figures who have heard of it. But there is no way to get from this middle-aged man who is as quiet as a middle school teacher, and the secretary of the iron-fisted Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, let alone believe that this seemingly weak man has brought down two vice governors in three years, a large group of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the cold-faced secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, who is now a major economic province in Hohai Province.

Although Tong Anshan also reminded himself that he could not judge people by their appearance, let alone judge cadres by intuitive impression, this was his experience for many years, and it was also his principle of life, but it was always difficult to solve the confusion of not being able to get rid of the number. Perhaps it was this confusion that made the humble greetings in his mouth followed by hard sarcasm and reproach.

Tong Anshan's vitriolity caught Qi Tianxiang a little off guard, it was originally a polite greeting, but he didn't expect Tong Anshan to have a blame in it. Although he had already been mentally and psychologically prepared, it still made Qi Tianxiang a little embarrassed, and before he could think about it, he slowly responded: "Elder first, Hehai Province is a place for the education of saints, 'Friends come from afar, and they are happy', which is the best commentary on respecting guests." It's an honor for me to be able to come and greet him, and I'm glad to be criticized. ”

Qi Tianxiang seemed to be neither humble nor arrogant, but in fact, his thorny answer made Tong Anshan difficult to answer for a while, and he firmly believed that the governor in front of him was the legendary secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission who was strong and strong-willed, so he smiled and said: "Governor Qi's words are very temperamental and dignified to me. ”

"They all say that I am a grimace judge, and it seems that something happens wherever I go, which is true, but it is just a reversal of the order, and it should be where there is something, and I will go there. Isn't there such a couplet from a Chinese medicine shop that says, 'I wish the world is free of disease, and would rather put medicine on the shelf to produce dust', no place for me to go is my greatest wish, and I am happy to have nothing to do every day, that is the real peace in the world! Tong Anshan shook hands with Zhou Tong and the others in turn, then looked at Qi Tianxiang, and asked sternly: "Your welcome is worth considering, whether it is true or false Ye Gong, it depends on the performance of the real dragon after descending to earth, but anyone who likes ghosts and gods is not the same kind of ghosts and gods, or those who have the same temperament and temperament, and the world is reasonable." ”

"This is also the old saying, 'There is nothing in the world, and mediocre people disturb themselves', not that they have ghosts in their hearts, they are afraid of ghosts, and there are no ghosts in their hearts, where do ghosts and gods come from?" Qi Tianxiang looked at Tong Anshan, and said slowly: "Tong Ju is coming from a long way, you have come to exorcise ghosts for us, subduing demons and subduing demons, we are too late to thank us, how can there be a reason to avoid it." ”

Although it was a seemingly unintentional greeting, the simple conversation was a confrontation and mental collision between two leaders in different fields, and casually, it contained profound implications. After a few words of dialogue, Qi Tianxiang and Tong Anshan both laughed heartily.

After Qi Tianxiang accompanied Tong Anshan out of the airport, he walked to the convoy, Qi Tianxiang glanced at his watch and asked Tong Anshan's opinion: "This time, should Director Tong go to the scene first, or take a break and eat something before going to the scene?" ”

"Is there any food to eat on site?" Tong Anshan asked directly, and after getting Qi Tianxiang's affirmative answer, he said briefly and decisively: "Go to the scene, there are still more than 300 brothers over there, and I don't know if I can eat again!" ”

As he spoke, Tong Anshan ignored the staff's attentive movements and gestures, walked straight to a minibus in the back, slowly boarded the minibus, and sat in the middle window seat, ignoring no one anymore.

Qi Tianxiang glanced at Zhou Tong and Liang Zhixin standing beside him, without saying anything, slowly walked to the front of the bus, got into the car and sat next to Tong Anshan, with a look of patiently waiting to drive.

With Qi Tianxiang's movements, Zhou Tong and Liang Zhixin, as well as the cadres who came to greet them, all got on the minibus. The two minibuses were quickly filled, but the seemingly casual actions were not random at all, and they still got on different buses according to the level and reception specifications.

For a time, several luxury cars, as well as Qi Tianxiang's car, were mostly idle there, and a strange phenomenon also appeared, taking the bus accompanying and staff, which was full of leaders of the State Administration of Work Safety and Hehai Province, and the high-end cars that the leaders rode in became the staff's car.
