"Let's go now!" Chen Nengliang finished drinking the last mouthful of soup in the bowl, put down the bowl, picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, looked at Qi Tianxiang and said, "Look at it early and finish it early, and then talk about it, there is not much time." ”

Qi Tianxiang finally couldn't help laughing, just now watching him serve a bowl and drink soup, it was a little funny, but he still endured it politely, now looking at his anxious appearance, he couldn't help it anymore, but he still waved his hand and said: "Can you wait a little, let the cattle plough the land, and let the cattle eat grass and rest, right?" Your leader has eaten and drunk enough, and the staff also have to eat, and they have to smoke a cigarette after the meal, right? ”

"Hehe, Comrade Tianxiang protested, you will eat when you come up, and you will leave when you are full, and you will not consider whether the staff of the inspection site have eaten." Lin Dongsheng extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray, looked at Chen Nengliang and smiled, like a mirror in his heart, knowing that Qi Tianxiang couldn't help laughing, but he didn't want to say it thoroughly, just said lightly: "It is estimated that after receiving the notice in the morning, I started to work, and it is difficult to say whether I am busy now, let alone eating." ”

Originally, Qi Tianxiang was neither soft nor hard, and the half-truths and half-truths made Chen Nengliang a little astringent, and Lin Dongsheng's explanation of the mud made him a little embarrassed, and he also knew that his eagerness was a little Meng Lang, so he changed the topic slightly unnaturally, and said to Lin Dongsheng with a smile: "I know what Comrade Tianxiang means by laughing, where is persuasion and prevention, it is clearly laughing at me for eating and gobbling up, and my actions are vulgar, which is difficult to enter his eyes." ”

Chen Nengliang spoke, turned his eyes to Qi Tianxiang, and said seriously and seriously: "I was born in the countryside and grew up in the ravine of the Daba Mountains, if I hadn't walked out of the mountains to go to college in the city, maybe I would still be living in the damp and cold mountains. You said that in the face of realistic needs, which is more important, cultivation and cultivation. ”

"This is good, let Governor Chen see it, and see how you, a quick-thinking person, deal with it." Lin Dongsheng smiled and folded his arms, leaned on the back of the chair leisurely, looked at Qi Tianxiang and said jokingly: "If this beam can't be solved, the sin of slandering the leader and slandering the leader will be counted, and the mayor of construction and I will listen patiently, without judging, not interjecting, and not coaxing." ”

"This is really not a big deal, Governor Chen is dissatisfied with me, it's just a feeling, more just an emotion, or just a vague consciousness, something that might have been laughed at in the first place, with the massive mind that Governor Chen's belly can accommodate, it will not stir up half a ripple at all. After your request, Governor Chen doesn't care anymore, and the scars that are uncovered can either be completely treated, or completely eliminated from seeing the existence of people, is there any good way? Qi Tianxiang seemed to look at Lin Dongsheng with some resentment, then looked at Chen Nengliang with a smile, and said seriously: "Speaking of starting, Confucius is the son of a drummer, Mencius has no father, Liu Bang is just a scoundrel in the market, and the so-called hero does not ask where he comes from." All of you here are not children of a poor family, but it does not affect Secretary Lin to walk out of the Haidong Mountains to the factory, and from the factory to the compound of the provincial party committee. You, Governor Chen, have sung all the way from the depths of Daba Mountain, and have also walked to the lofty place of Beijing and the position of the decision-maker of Hohai Province. ”

"Just like the analysis of the small and low in Hezhou City at the meeting just now, the existence of unconsciousness is a stubborn disease, and being able to consciously realize it is to leapfrog, your Governor Chen has long been nirvana, and any retro behavior is a sincere call from the depths of the soul." Qi Tianxiang said with a smile, then looked at Lin Dongsheng, and said slowly: "Actually, the problem is in this steamed bun shop, in such an occasion of eating steamed buns and drinking soup, it is a little abnormal not to act like this. ”

"Secretary Lin is well-intentioned, Comrade Tianxiang is witty and sensitive, which adds spice to the boring after-dinner time, haha laughs and is sleepy, it is undoubtedly a dish of hors d'oeuvres." Chen Nengliang listened to Qi Tianxiang's compliments with praise, and also understood Lin Dongsheng's intentions, so he smiled and said to Qi Tianxiang: "I am much more comfortable when you say this, if I hear everything in my heart, and I will put it in my heart if I am not happy, don't say that my big belly is not comparable to Maitreya Buddha, even the vast sea will be filled in a few years." ”

"Look, it's still seen through by others, how embarrassing it is." Lin Dongsheng pretended to be embarrassed and looked at Fang Jianshe and said: "Originally, I was going to watch a dragon and tiger fight, but I didn't expect to lift a stone to hit myself in the foot, let's not say more!" If the two of them don't leave, let's go! ”

Qi Tianxiang looked at Lin Dongsheng deeply, and admired his old spiciness, cunning, as well as his keen scheming and mature skills. Not only did he see his own thoughts, but he also sensitively read Chen Nengliang's psychological thoughts, and in the face of the possible contradictions and confrontations between his two deputies, he neither avoided nor participated in the explanation, but directly pointed it out and said it face to face. not only maintained Chen Nengliang's face, but also skillfully maintained Qi Tianxiang from harm. Because he has directly said the Liang Zi between Qi Tianxiang and Chen Nengliang, and slandered the leader, even if he can't untie Chen Nengliang's heart knot, he can't put it in his heart, otherwise he will be a small belly. This not only has a certain role in reminding the coordination of future work, but also serves as a reminder and warning for the accompanying inspection in the afternoon.

Resolving a crisis is not only about hands-on participation, but also about the application of wisdom that is implicit from time to time, and this wonderful change is the embodiment of this wonderful change. This is the old spicy thing about Lao Jiang, Qi Tianxiang knows Lin Dongsheng's intentions, as well as his quiet good intentions, in fact, this kind of dialing and application started after the launch ceremony.

Walking off the rostrum, Lin Dongsheng looked at the participants who left the venue in an orderly manner with great interest, and looked at Qi Tianxiang puzzled and asked, "It's so easy to gather, and it's so lively for a while?" ”

"How can it, how can our Hezhou Municipal Government be so generous, no one has two breads, a bottle of mineral water, and two ham sausages are eaten for nothing? How can you do it if you don't work hard? Qi Tianxiang said to Lin Dongsheng with a smile: "This unit pulls out, according to the divided area and location, after a short rest, start the environmental renovation action, and set an example for the creation of the work with practical actions, which is also an integral part of the overall activity." ”

"It's good, young people move, and there is hope for the whole action." Lin Dongsheng said as he walked, slowly stopped, looked at Qi Tianxiang and said jokingly: "There is bread to eat in this work, you can also send me two, even if the ham sausage is enough, I will do something, how can I do it without work?" ”

"Forget it! In principle, the goods distributed by us in this activity will be exchanged for those who can eat and work, and they will be exchanged in equal amounts, and no credit will be owed. Qi Tianxiang dealt with it playfully, pretending to be distressed and sighed long and said, "Considering your actual situation and the fatigue of the afternoon, you can arrange a lunch box." ”

"Lao Chen, this time you have learned the short-sighted behavior of people under the eaves, beating monks after reciting scriptures! As soon as people have a broad face, they become snobbish, and they are talking about him Qi Tianxiang. Lin Dongsheng walked to the front of the car, waved his hand to let the onlookers go first, and then smiled and teased Chen Nengliang who came over: "I regret asking you to come out and go around like this, in order to express my apologies, I will invite you to eat steamed buns at noon, there is a lotus leaf steamed bun near here is still good, more than a hundred years old, the taste and appearance are very authentic." ”

Qi Tianxiang saw that all the city leaders had left one after another, and there were only Chen Nengliang and Fang Jianshe in front of Lin Dongsheng's special car, knowing that Lin Dongsheng had other intentions or arrangements, so he pretended to be greedy and blinked his mouth and pretended to salivate: "Secretary Lin has a treat, I will also go, this century-old brand, I have never heard of it, and I am also hungry after you say this." ”

"If you are hungry, go eat by yourself, don't think about taking advantage of my old forest." Lin Dongsheng pretended to be dissatisfied and glared at Qi Tianxiang, and said angrily: "The bread is not given, and the mineral water is reluctant to be drunk, you have to eat steamed buns, is there such a good thing?" ”

"There's nothing to eat by yourself, I can find the places you know, but I'm afraid I can go, and you may not be able to go." Qi Tianxiang sighed faintly, glanced at Fang Jianjian, turned his face and said to Chen Nengliang with a smile: "I am in charge of my territory." My niece often likes to say this, people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes! ”

"Hehe, Secretary Lin, you can hear it! Comrade Tianxiang is clearly threatening and implying that this is someone else's territory, and without people's help, we can't move an inch! Chen Nengliang looked at Lin Dongsheng with a smile, and said lightly: "Those who know the times are Junjie!" ”

"It's not so serious, I'm thinking about whether your two provincial leaders come to a small shop to eat steamed buns, whether the small shop dares to receive them, whether other guests can eat with peace of mind, and what kind of responsibility for dereliction of duty should the office bear, the trivial matter is not small, and it can't be done at will." Qi Tianxiang said to Chen Nengliang with a smile, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Fang Jianshe coming over, knowing that he had already arranged it, he looked at Lin Dongsheng and said naughtily: "You have a treat, I'll pay for it, okay?" ”

"It's pretty much the same, no matter who treats you, eat your fill first." Lin Dongsheng looked at Chen Nengliang with satisfaction, then turned his face and glared at Qi Tianxiang, and said sternly: "Why don't you lead the way?" What kind of trick is it if you don't practice it? ”

"It's ordered!" Reading Bai, making gestures, please Lin Dongsheng and Chen Nengliang to take the minibus to the hotel over there.

In the car, after listening to Fang Jianjian's introduction of the afternoon's itinerary, Lin Dongsheng thought for a while and said slowly: "I have no opinion on the itinerary, the personnel will make adjustments, the construction mayor and Lu Shanzun will follow me, and Governor Chen will accompany Tianxiang and Feiming." ”

Lin Dongsheng finished speaking briefly, facing Qi Tianxiang's surprised expression, and said lightly: "My side is a virtual order, where is Governor Chen pragmatic, and the construction mayor is focusing on the urban rectification work, and I should feel more." ”

Qi Tianxiang looked at Lin Dongsheng calmly, but he was very grateful and moved in his heart, and understood the profound intention of Lin Dongsheng's move, as well as the implied goodwill arrangement, as well as some reasonable concern and worry.

From the phone call of the secretary Xiao Li in the morning, Qi Tianxiang obviously realized that Lin Dongsheng was making some kind of arrangement. Because from the perspective of the creation of Hezhou City itself, Vice Governor Luo Jian didn't see it, and the importance can be seen. The personal participation of the secretary of the provincial party committee in such an activity is not the specification or significance of the activity itself, at best, it is the care and support for the work of the provincial capital, and to a greater extent, it is to give Qi Tianxiang a big face. It is not only a personal feeling, but also a support for the team members. Activities that are not arranged through the channels of the General Office are either not of sufficient level or may not be arranged in time. Qi Tianxiang had never thought of going through such a channel, time was a problem, and the reluctance to be too publicistic was also an important reason, the original intention of inviting Luo Jian to be present was to attack the challenge of the shield of the son with the spear of the son, and it would be a bit angry to invite Lin Dongsheng to attend. These links could have been omitted, but Qi Tianxiang wanted to show a posture, an attitude of the municipal party committee and himself, which was not only for Luo Jian to see, but also for all those who paid attention to this matter. Asked Luo Jian to call back, and only then did he think of asking Lin Dongsheng for help, because he knew that Lin Dongsheng would not stand idly by, whether it was personal feelings or work relations, Lin Dongsheng would not watch Qi Tianxiang fall into trouble, let alone be embarrassed by any inadvertent things.

Lin Dongsheng will attend, Qi Tianxiang is confident, but Lin Dongsheng will notify Chen Nengliang to attend together, but it is much beyond Qi Tianxiang's expectations, the creation of a city, the secretary of the provincial party committee to participate in it is out of line, and the secretary and governor must attend at the same time, and the probability of such an over-specification activity cannot occur several times throughout the year. The only possible situation is the inspection or investigation of the central leaders, and the level of the leaders must not be very low, so that the leaders of the provincial party committee and the provincial government can appear at the same time. Attending the city-building event in Heju was unbelievable at every level.

After the initial shock and surprise, Qi Tianxiang was quickly relieved, Lin Dongsheng's intention to move, in addition to implying a deep meaning, is to show that the unity and unity of the two heads of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, as well as the coordination and cooperation between each other, are not ordinary matches, but have reached a perfect level, in response to the rumors in Beijing and Hehai. In fact, such rumors have been around for a long time, and they have become more lively recently. There have long been rumors that Lin Dongsheng acted arbitrarily and arbitrarily, suppressing and inhibiting the work of Governor Chen Nengliang, without Lin Dongsheng's instruction and support, Chen Nengliang could not move an inch in the river and sea, and the working environment deteriorated seriously. Such rumors actually came from Chen Nengliang's complaints in Beijing at the beginning of his tenure, and the ambitious Chen Nengliang not only wanted to show his skills in the position of governor, but also wanted to show his talents in a higher position. After several frontal or side encounters, especially after serious reminders and conversations from the central high-level leaders, this aggressive edge has converged a lot, and although the ambition has not been completely dispelled, the obvious complaints have gradually died down and turned into a secret competition, including the wooing and hinting at Qi Tianxiang. This behavior has not disappeared for several years, but it has been carried out in secret. For Lin Dongsheng, the secretary of the provincial party committee, who is politically mature, experienced and has strong balance and coordination skills, his role and influence are not something he can slander or replace in the eyes of the central authorities. Knowing this, Chen Nengliang's momentum also dimmed a lot, and he was a little discouraged.

The recent rumors have been brought up again, and the source is not Chen Nengliang, but news from Beijing, which not only makes the situation a little confusing, but also makes Chen Nengliang a little inexplicably nervous. Therefore, both Lin Dongsheng and Chen Nengliang are trying their best to resist and resolve the negative impact of such unfavorable rumors. The news comes from Beijing, and it is relatively reliable, the central meaning is that Lin Dongsheng may still maintain his current position in next year's reshuffle, Chen Nengliang may continue to stay in office, or promote Beijing to the head of the national financial institutions, the specific plan has not yet been finalized, and it is still in the stage of weighing and considering. If Chen Nengliang stays in office, there may be variables in the rebalancing of the status quo, but the variables are not so big as shocking after all, and the biggest variable is the follow-up arrangement after Chen Nengliang's increase.

In the face of the position of governor left by Chen Nengliang after leaving, there is a huge space for speculation and imagination, as the governor of a large economic province, there are certainly not a few people who covet this position, and the governor candidate naturally attracts attention, and pays more attention to the problem of where the candidate comes from. As a major economic province, there has long been a controversy between local cadres and airborne cadres. It has always been held that the use of local cadres is an affirmation of the work of Hohai Province by the central authorities, and the use of airborne cadres will lead to resistance to crowding out local cadres, and there have even been discussions of the central authorities training and training cadres in Hohai Province. Therefore, in the successive governors of Hehai, there has been a strange phenomenon, often after a parachute governor, there is a local governor, and this is the case for several terms. Whether it's balance or coincidence, there are always internal rules to follow. Chen Nengliang is a central airborne cadre, and after that, he should be a local cadre, not that there will be no abnormal situation, but the focus of the discussion is still on the possibility of convention. Originally, the appointment and dismissal of cadres was the central topic after the officialdom and the eternal selling point that could attract attention, while speculation and discussion on the appointment and dismissal of local cadres were more interesting and exciting. Moreover, there are ready-made candidates for discussion, one is Liu Zhengguo, director of the organization department of the provincial party committee, the other is Huang Hequn, secretary of the island city party committee, and the most promising is Qi Tianxiang, secretary of the Hezhou city party committee. Because he is optimistic about Qi Tianxiang, that is, based on the application of the elimination method, although Liu Zhengguo is experienced and not weak, his age advantage is no longer weak, and he is already looking at the age of six. Moreover, the candidate for governor should be able to make achievements, and Liu Zhengguo has been away from the actual economic field for many years, so whether he can still adapt to economic management is a question worth considering. Huang Hequn, secretary of the party committee of the island city, has the ability and experience in place, and has also accumulated a few years in the position of secretary of the municipal party committee, but he still can't step through the hurdle of age, he is nearly fifty-six years old, and he can still work solidly for a few years, and the position of governor needs to be adjusted if he is not hot, and more importantly, Lin Dongsheng is close to sixty years old, even if he has a good wish, that is, the last few years of perseverance, the training of the local governor will definitely take over Lin Dongsheng's position, which is the basis for maintaining the political and economic stability of the river and sea, and the central government will not take it into consideration.

After calculation, Qi Tianxiang is the best candidate, both age advantage, and high academic qualifications, and himself in the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and posting, has been in Hehai for nearly ten years, is not only an airborne cadre, but also a local cadre, and experience and ability are obvious to all, especially several major events have been unanimously praised by the central high-level and Hehai officialdom, and have also won the recognition of local cadres. An airborne cadre who is not squeezed out and resisted by the local officialdom is exactly what the central authorities need, and the greater advantage lies in the fact that after a few years of experience in the position of provincial governor, by the time Lin Dongsheng retired after his success, Qi Tianxiang's ability, experience, and wisdom were fully possessed, and he could guarantee the political, economic, and social stability and prosperity of the river and sea to a great extent.

Although the rumors come and go, it is difficult for anyone to predict the variables that will happen next year, but Lin Dongsheng is making corresponding preparations, no matter whether Chen Nengliang leaves or stays, the overall political and economic situation for a long time in the future will have to be fully undertaken by Lin Dongsheng, and he must make a contingency strategy in advance. For Qi Tianxiang, no matter how detailed and realistic the rumors are, they are not true after all, so in addition to being more cautious in dealing with them, he admires and admires Lin Dongsheng's political wisdom. A small casual arrangement reflects a high degree of sensitivity and sensitivity.

Asking Chen Nengliang to come forward not only gave Qi Tianxiang strong support and solidarity, but also eliminated the discussion of tension between the secretary and governor, and also laid the groundwork for Qi Tianxiang in advance, no matter what Chen Nengliang does in the future, Qi Tianxiang needs to handle the relationship with him, even if the superficial relationship should be stable. Letting Qi Tianxiang accompany Chen Nengliang to inspect is such a consideration, pragmatic words clearly tied the two of them together, and he took Fang Jianshe and Lu Shanzun to inspect, which is not only an open support for Fang Jian, but also to enhance Lu Shanzun's status and influence, which shows an attitude of the provincial party committee and himself.

Qi Tianxiang couldn't help but sigh deeply, simply one thing, Lin Dongsheng has sent so many signals to the outside world, this kind of wisdom and skills really do not have him, and he needs to learn very well, this kind of silent words and deeds is the ladder of his continuous progress and maturity, the old father-in-law, Zheng Ming, Fang Xiang, and Zhao Haonan, it is the selfless help of these predecessors that he can come step by step, without these, groping in the dark, he can't go today.

"What do you think, do you want to repay the account after eating!" Lin Dongsheng saw that Qi Tianxiang fell into deep thought, and knew what he had thought, so he said to him majestically, with more love in his words, although majestic, but not stern, "Hurry up and pay and leave." ”

Lin Dongsheng's words made Qi Tianxiang come to his senses, hurriedly came back to his senses, looked at Fang Jianshe and said with a smile: "The secretary has to repay the account, it seems that the city government has another entertainment expense this time." ”

Fang Jianshe immediately understood the meaning of Qi Tianxiang's words, stood up and went out of the private room to arrange the itinerary, Qi Tianxiang looked at the two provincial leaders with a slight smile, with a deferential look, silently waiting for them to give the order to leave.

"Let's go separately, they're ready." Lin Dongsheng said to Chen Nengliang with a smile, stood up, and slowly walked out of the room.
