Qi Tianxiang was talking, and seeing that Xiao Zhang had already filled the wine glass in front of the three people, he picked up the wine glass in front of him, looked at Fang Jianshe and Zhou Tong and said with a slight smile: "The banquet just now has no theme, but this will have a theme, which is to express condolences for the lack of old Fang, let's do this cup first." ”

Although Fang Jianshe was a little embarrassed and had something to say, he saw that Qi Tianxiang had already picked up the wine glass, so he had to take the glass and pour a glass of wine into his mouth with Qi Tianxiang's rhythm. As if choked on a big sip of wine, he coughed a few times, glared at Xiao Zhang dissatisfiedly, and said with a little anger: "What are you doing with such a good wine, what are you doing when you pour so much, isn't this a tyrannical thing?" Good wine doesn't taste good. ”

Fang Jianshe consciously intervened in the mixed department, which not only concealed his embarrassment, but also added some vitality to the dull atmosphere of the small living room, which immediately caused Qi Tianxiang and Zhou Tong to laugh, making the original scene of the big difference in positions lively, and Xiao Zhang laughed embarrassedly. Fang Jianshe lit a cigarette as he spoke, but when he took a puff of cigarette, there was another cough, which once again caused laughter in the small living room.

I have a lot of experience in building a house, and I can grasp the atmosphere in a timely manner. Drinking and coughing, smoking and coughing, this cleared up the fault of Xiao Zhang who poured too much wine, and also achieved the purpose of enlivening the atmosphere, and also responded to Qi Tianxiang's kindness when he spoke just now. Because he knew very well in his heart that this was Qi Tianxiang's time to speak, he shouldn't say anything, let alone express his gratitude, and even the necessary justification seemed redundant, so he could only use this way to express his attitude.

"Drink some tea, or eat some food to relieve it, but also drink a little harder." Qi Tianxiang looked at Fang Jianshe with concern, and also knew his intention to do this, so he explained slightly apologetically: "Xiao Zhang also thought that everyone had just finished dinner, that is, he simply prepared a few side dishes, which may not be palatable, and it is still okay to pad a little." ”

"It's easy! A plate of beef, a plate of prawns, plus braised stew and dried tofu, if this is really a few side dishes, then what a big meal should be! Fang Jianshe smiled slightly, pretending to exaggerate in surprise, and then added frankly: "Actually, I also have the habit of drinking some wine after dinner, and I don't need anything at this time, just a small handful of spiced peanuts is enough." A sip of wine, one or two spiced peanuts, the feeling is really intoxicating. The tiredness of the day, and the more or less annoying things, are all gone. Only the mellowness of the wine and the deliciousness of the peanuts are left. ”

When Fang Jianshe said this, he seemed to fall into a memory, and said with deep feeling: "Especially the spiced peanut rice of Lao Sun's family on Nanguan North Street, which is burnt and crispy and has a long aftertaste, and I can't eat enough." ”

"How? I guessed right! What can evoke long-lasting memories and feelings, not scenery, nor emotion, but deliciousness, or the kind of snack that is difficult to get into the hall of elegance. Before Qi Tianxiang could hear the words of Fang Jianjian, he turned his face to look at Xiao Zhang, and said with a slight meaning: "Take it out!" Let the room grow as you wish. ”

Under Qi Tianxiang's urging, Xiao Zhang took out a paper bag from his pocket as if he was playing a trick, walked to Fang Jianjian's side and handed it to him, and said with a smile: "Any of your thoughts has been guessed by the governor, see what the governor has prepared for you?" I was specially asked to buy it, and I traveled nearly thousands of miles, nearly a week, just for this moment. ”

Took the paper bag in Xiao Zhang's hand, Fang Jianshe didn't need to look at it to know what was in his hand, and he was instantly moved, but he still looked at the paper bag seriously, looked at the familiar font and packaging, and muttered: "How embarrassed is this, it was still when I chatted last year, I said that in passing, Governor Qi kept it in my heart, I really have a heart, I understand it, thank you!" Thank you! ”

"It's not worth it, thank you for something, is it just a bag of peanuts and a bottle of good wine?" Qi Tianxiang glanced at Fang Jianshe deeply, picked up the wine glass in front of him and looked at Fang Jianjian, and also took care of Zhou Tong's feelings, and proposed with a slight smile: "Let's get down to business, drinking is the right thing, let's talk and drink!" ”

Seeing that Fang Jianshe and Zhou Tong had exhausted the wine in the glass, Qi Tianxiang drank all the wine in the cup, then put down the wine glass, and waited until Xiao Zhang filled everyone's wine glasses separately, and then gently waved his hand to let Xiao Zhang retreat. After doing all this, Qi Tianxiang looked at Fang Jianjian intently, and said with a serious expression: "There are no outsiders here, let's talk about it!" ”

All the greetings and transitions ended at this point, and the conversation officially began. Fang Jianshe seemed to have been waiting for this moment for a long time, so he adjusted his sitting posture, looked at Qi Tianxiang seriously and said, "What do you say?" Guishui County is not big, but the situation is not simple, under the seemingly calm appearance, but there is an undercurrent surging, really lively! ”

"After Han Zizai's downfall, dozens of bureau-level cadres were investigated or implicated. In fact, this is not surprising, Han Zizai has been operating in Guishui County for many years, it can be said that the water cannot be splashed in, the needle cannot be pierced, Guishui County has become his own independent kingdom and territory, not to mention the bureau-level cadres, even the use of unit-level cadres in important departments is not possible without his nod, let alone the appointment and dismissal of important cadres in the county. It is also a clear fact that Wang Tongjun, the county magistrate, as well as the principal and deputy positions of several major departments in the county, are all people he likes and selects. Fang Jianshe saw Qi Tianxiang listening attentively, so he continued slowly: "It's not strange that the tree is falling and scattering, Han Zizai was convicted of corruption, and it is inevitable that the county will cause a strong political shock, and it is terrible that a mountain will be toppled and the person who pushed the mountain will build a new mountain." ”

Fang Jianjian stopped, looked at Qi Tianxiang's reaction, and continued: "Guishui County is a poor county in the mountainous area, and if you want to enrich the situation of cadres, it is more common in grassroots counties and cities of this kind, and the accident gives this reality an excellent opportunity. In the county's more than 20 section-level bureaus and committees, including more than a dozen grassroots townships and townships, the allocation and selection of cadres has become the main task of the county in the past few months. When everyone is in danger, who moves and who does not move, who goes up and who goes down, it all depends on the performance of the individual and the preferences of the leader. ”

Although the narration of Fang Jianjian is calm, the inclination and attitude are clear, and it sounds like nothing is said, but everything is said. This is the best way for subordinates to speak, not to put it together, nor to appear to be smarter than the leader, always and everywhere let the leader make judgments and decisions, housing construction is undoubtedly well aware of the three flavors.

The problem mentioned by Fang Jianshe has attracted Qi Tianxiang's attention, and he has already known some of this abnormal situation from multiple channels, and he has also made some mental preparations, knowing that at this critical moment, there will definitely be some problems. Qi Tianxiang is no stranger to these possible problematic situations; when the cliff-like cadre problem appeared in Huayi City that year, as secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, he was authorized to preside over the selection and allocation of cadres in Huayi City and its subordinate counties and districts. As a cadre discipline, Qi Tianxiang encountered a lot of abnormal situations, both intercession and lobbying from all sides, as well as naked running and buying officials, and he didn't care about the identity and responsibilities of the secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection of Qi Tianxiang, it was completely a competition for interests, which brought great trouble to Qi Tianxiang.

For these abnormal phenomena, Qi Tianxiang felt helpless, in addition to the direct door-to-door power and money transactions, Qi Tianxiang can sternly refuse, or he can hand over the money and goods to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection to deal with. But the requests and phone calls from all sides are difficult for Qi Tianxiang to reprimand directly, and the people who can act as lobbyists all have a certain amount of energy and relationship, and they are also prepared. In this case, Qi Tianxiang can't refuse with discipline, let alone do business, he can only suppress his anger in his heart, knowing very well in his heart that this ugly phenomenon cannot be changed by his personal resoluteness and ability. In the face of huge social inertia thinking, all Qi Tianxiang can do, in addition to self-discipline, is procrastination and hypocrisy.

With the power of the secretary of the provincial discipline inspection commission, he cannot change the ugly phenomena in the process of selecting and appointing cadres in Huayi City, and we can understand the current problems in Guishui County. But in the narration of housing construction, it seems that it is not only a matter of rights overriding principles, nor is it just a passive acceptance, but these mysteries still need to be uncovered by housing construction, so he asked dissatisfiedly: "It's been a few months, can't it be stabilized?" Isn't the principle of handling cadres already formulated? Several large teams will not work. ”

"Work naturally has to be done by someone, and there is still a clear difference between doing it with heart and doing it perfunctory." Fang Jianshe admired Qi Tianxiang's calmness and steady handling methods, originally thought that Qi Tianxiang would ask for specific details, but Qi Tianxiang blocked the question back with clever questions, or let Fang Jianshe answer, so he sighed imperceptibly, and said to Qi Tianxiang's gaze: "The county leaders are not clear, Wang Tongjun as the county magistrate is also demerit to stay, the whole work is Liu Ruwei is taking care of it alone, the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, the executive deputy mayor acts as the secretary of the Guishui County Party Committee, Everyone can understand what this means, and they also know what it means to be able to climb the high branches of Secretary Liu. ”

"That sounds reasonable, but what effect does it have?" Qi Tianxiang looked at Fang Jianshe knowingly, and exchanged knowing glances with Zhou Tong, and then said slowly: "You don't have to play dumb riddles, just say what the situation is!" Liu Ruwei was recommended by me to serve as the secretary of the Guishui County Party Committee, but I don't protect my shortcomings, and I won't shirk my responsibility if there is any problem. You should be clear about this point, and Comrade Zhou Tong will also prove it. ”
