Lin Dongsheng made no secret of his appreciation for Qi Tianxiang, and was also thinking about how to respond to Qi Tianxiang's answer, if it was difficult to say in the past, with the help of today's occasion, he should seriously communicate with Qi Tianxiang, and by the way, he would also infiltrate his own thoughts to Qi Tianxiang.

"The issue of cadres has never been a simple dispensable issue, but a major matter that has a bearing on the stability of the overall situation and the implementation of policies and measures, and it cannot be taken lightly at any time." Lin Dongsheng stretched out his hand to signal Qi Tianxiang, and gave him a cigarette on the coffee table in front of him, seeing Qi Tianxiang hurriedly got up and handed him a cigarette and lit a fire, and his face was full of surprise, so he laughed self-deprecatingly and justified: "I can't quit smoking at all, my wife at home is better, and when I came to the office and saw you smoking, I couldn't help but want to smoke one." It seems that the persistence of the will still has a lot to do with the environment! It's not easy to persist and persevere! ”

"It's not a matter of principle, and there's no need to insist on it, it's good to be at ease with what happens, and it's easy to have side effects if you restrict too much." Qi Tianxiang responded paradoxically, Lin Dongsheng's words and behavior were a little abnormal, this was the rhythm of wanting to say something important, Qi Tianxiang was keenly aware of it, but Lin Dongsheng did not make it clear, and there was no way to take the lead in revealing the bottom, after all, there was still a distinction between priorities and priorities in front of him, so he smiled and said with a smile according to his words: "I don't have a deep understanding of quitting smoking, tobacco is harmful is common sense that everyone knows, and it is a cognition that has existed since the existence of tobacco, but how many people have quit smoking because tobacco is harmful?" It seems that the key problem is not tobacco itself, but the fear of life, and there is no other reason for this. ”

"It's far-fetched, it's completely unsubstantiated, and if you were to deal with doctors too, I'm afraid you wouldn't think so." Of course, Lin Dongsheng knew the ingredients in Qi Tianxiang's words, but he still smiled and said seriously: "Why are people who quit smoking willing to follow the advice of doctors, not how clever or authoritative the doctors are, but that doctors are the last pass to protect life, and their professional skills determine that they can see the essence that others can't see, or are not clear." ”

Lin Dongsheng took a few deep puffs of cigarette, pressed out most of the remaining cigarette rolls in the ashtray, and then said to Qi Tianxiang seriously: "Only when I arrive at the hospital do I know the preciousness of life and health." Such feelings can often be heard, but it is rare to hear any desire for health, all that is heard is regret and remorse, and there are few exceptions. In fact, for life and health, the understanding of healthy people and terminally ill patients is also completely different, healthy people can look at life and death very indifferently, and can easily recognize it, while people who are terminally ill or seriously ill have a more real perception of life and death, and there is more awe. As the saying goes, the sick are scared to death, which sounds like an exaggeration, but it is true, and the fear of death and the uncertainty of the future make up the whole of the patient's last years, and the doctor's words at this time will be regarded as good words, if not entirely correct. ”

"To be honest, I really don't have such a feeling, maybe it's because I don't have this experience!" Qi Tianxiang saw that Lin Dongsheng was serious, so he restrained his playful look and responded sincerely: "Maybe I still haven't really realized the true meaning of life and health, it seems that I still need to deepen my understanding of medical knowledge and think more about the true meaning of life, so that we can cherish the time of health." ”

"That's when you're still young, and you still have plenty of time to enjoy, and of course you don't think about the urgency of life's last moments, and you don't have a deep fear of death." Lin Dongsheng glanced at Qi Tianxiang with a smile, changed his tone and said: "It is precisely because you are young and full of confidence in the future that you do not have a deep understanding of time, let alone too much anxiety and eagerness for no reason. This is your advantage, and it is also a realm that many people find difficult to reach, and you can continue to maintain and carry it forward. ”

Lin Dongsheng admired Qi Tianxiang with envy, and then looked at Qi Tianxiang with a straight face and said seriously: "One fence with three piles, one hero with three gangs, in the past, they also paid attention to fighting brothers, and going into battle father and son, not to show the importance of nepotism, but to prove the role of team composition on combat effectiveness, which seems to have become a conventional formula." There is also a son of heaven and a courtier, who put aside the negative meaning of interest dumping, which also illustrates and confirms this truth. ”

"Whether it is a green forest hero who gathers in the mountains and forests, or a heroic teacher who raises his arms, the team and the center are indispensable, and in a sense, they also determine the success or failure of the career. The establishment of a team and the reward of meritorious deeds are not only rewards and punishments, but also recognition and affirmation of ability and deeds, which have very practical significance. Lin Dongsheng made a big bend, and then it came down to what he wanted to say, staring at Qi Tianxiang with deep eyes and saying: "Many people follow you to do things, in addition to admiring your ability and charm, they still hope to follow you to get an achievement and glory." This is not snobbery, nor is it a lack of faith, denying the guiding role of ideals and beliefs, but is based on the essence of human nature, otherwise it is really difficult to explain the purpose of all people. Therefore, it is human nature not only for yourself, but also for the team that follows you, to establish a corresponding guarantee and platform! ”

Lin Dongsheng stretched out his hand to stop Qi Tianxiang's intention to speak, and said frankly: "When I was in the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, it was rare to see you promote and cultivate cronies, and after you arrived in Hezhou, you can also explain it in a short time, but you have been the governor for nearly a year, and I haven't seen you make any big moves, principles need to be adhered to, and people and sophistication cannot be ignored, don't cool everyone's hearts because of your own principles!" ”

Qi Tianxiang already understood what Lin Dongsheng wanted to say as soon as he opened his mouth, with his keen consciousness, it was impossible not to hear the meaning of Lin Dongsheng's words, and he also knew the true intention hidden by Lin Dongsheng when he said this. Before he could think about it, he met Lin Dongsheng's gaze and said frankly: "I haven't thought about these problems, and I have some thoughts and plans, but one is time, and the other is time, and I don't think it's the best time." ”

"The work of the provincial government involves all aspects, and the biggest problem is not who will be the leader, but the organic unity of institutions and personnel, as well as actions and authority, it should be said that it is still a problem of mechanism and system, not the adjustment and appointment and dismissal of several departments and bureaus and commissions, which can be fundamentally changed." Qi Tianxiang looked at Lin Dongsheng frankly, and said seriously: "This is also based on my understanding when I was working in Hezhou, simply dealing with a few cadres can shock some officials who have nothing to do in the short term, but the phenomenon of excessive redundancy, low efficiency, inaction and inaction has not been solved fundamentally, and it will rebound and rebound after a period of time." ”

"That's why you're planning institutional reforms. It looks like you're long enough in this game. Lin Dongsheng interrupted Qi Tianxiang's explanation with a smile, and said succinctly: "I said that it is communication and discussion, there is no need and authoritative orders, you are young and have time, you can look farther, this is beyond reproach, and you can start with institutional reform to completely solve the problem of institutional expansion and unclear responsibilities and powers, which means that you have begun to solve the problem from a higher level, which is even more gratifying." ”

Lin Dongsheng looked at Qi Tianxiang approvingly, smiled slightly and continued: "But this is not contradictory to my suggestion just now, institutional reform and personnel reduction work needs to be done, this is the foundation of long-term peace and stability, and it is better to do it early than later." Building a team and building a work system that you are comfortable with is the best guarantee for implementing your intentions, and the two complement each other to achieve satisfactory results. ”

Looking at Qi Tianxiang's serious gaze and slightly humble expression, Lin Dongsheng wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Qin Liang who pushed the door in, so he turned his face sideways and looked at Qin Liang who came with a smile, then raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, and said to Qin Liang slowly: "This means that as soon as the conversation with Comrade Tianxiang is over, let Xiao Li invite you, I didn't expect you to come to the door." Do you want to go now, or wait a few more minutes? What else do you have to add? ”

When Qi Tianxiang saw Qin Liang enter the door, he knew that he was here to urge Lin Dongsheng to participate in the activity, so he unconsciously glanced at the watch on his wrist, stood up with a slight smile and interjected: "Secretary Lin's activities have been arranged, let's hurry up and participate in the activities!" It just so happens that I also have a meeting here, so I won't delay Secretary Lin's time. ”

These are all politeness in the superficial sense, which Lin Dongsheng and Qi Tianxiang both know well. Lin Dongsheng saw Qi Tianxiang stand up, so he also stood up slowly, looked at Qi Tianxiang with a smile and said: "Your time is tighter than mine, don't miss the provincial government's office meeting, you just go first, I'll simply deal with personal matters and leave." ”

Watching Qi Tianxiang walk out of the reception area slowly, Lin Dongsheng also followed slowly, and politely shook hands with Qi Tianxiang to say goodbye, but he still said solemnly: "In front of Comrade Qin Liang, I still say what I just said, I am very satisfied with the work of the provincial government, I am even more satisfied with your work achievements in this period, and I am full of confidence in your ability." As long as it is in line with the actual economic and social development of our province, it is conducive to the improvement of people's livelihood and the improvement of people's lives, and the things that benefit the 70 million people in the province, I will strongly support and take responsibility with you. This is my clear attitude, unwavering. ”
