Unlike Qi Tianxiang's doubts and worries, the state councilor's mood was passionate and full of interest.

The convoy marched straight to the front of the group office building and stopped, and the state councilor walked out of the car briskly, and was immediately surrounded by applause and cheers, and the welcoming procession composed of about several hundred people stood on both sides of the cement road in front of the building in an orderly manner, waiting for the arrival of the leaders.

The State Councilor seemed to have become accustomed to this kind of warm greeting, smiling and waving to the welcoming crowd, shaking hands cordially with nearby cadres and workers, and walking to the front of the building surrounded by the crowd, climbing the stairs and turning to face everyone, and making an impromptu speech.

"I am very happy to meet you, express my condolences to you for your hard work, I feel very relieved and happy to see everyone's enthusiasm and full spirit, as the owner of the enterprise, I am proud of you."

The State Councilor's opening remarks drew a round of applause and cheers, which was expected, and when the applause had subsided, the State Councilor went on to say: "State-owned enterprises (SOEs) play an important role in the country's economic revitalization, prosperity and stability, and play a huge role in employment and social functions, as has been the case in the past, and is and will continue to be so." Reform and opening up have promoted the improvement of the level of productive forces, the growth and stability of various economic sectors, enriched the connotation of the market economy, and greatly improved the material living standards of the people. ”

"To give play to the role of state-owned enterprises as the main force and improve the living standards and happiness index of industrial workers, it is necessary to give more active and steady play to the advantages and traditions of the party organizations of state-owned enterprises and ideological and political work, and to reflect the achievements and results of reform and opening up through the active efforts of enterprises." The state councilor said with great interest: "To fulfill such a view, it is necessary for all the cadres and workers of state-owned enterprises to work together as one to plan for the development of enterprises, to do their best for the revitalization and development, to have a long-term vision and clear thinking, to give full play to their advantages, to learn from each other's strong points, and to make greater contributions to the country's prosperity and economic progress." ”

After saying this, the State Councilor frequently waved and interacted with everyone in the warmer applause, and then reluctantly turned around and entered the building under the guidance of the senior management of the group, shook hands with the cadres and staff waiting in the office building, and cooperated with the reporter's publicity activities to take a group photo with everyone.

State Councilor walked into the group honor room, visited the group construction and the honors and awards obtained in various development periods, as well as the photos of leaders at all levels to inspect and visit, the state councilor looked very carefully, very serious, kept stopping to communicate with the entourage, and showed a strong interest, it is best to be under the request of Liu Dong and other group leaders, enthusiastically walked to the bookcase that had already been placed, waved the pen and mentioned "production does not forget safety, safety helps production" a few hearty big words, and solemnly signed their names and dates.

All this seems very natural, it seems that it has been arranged for a long time, and it is an important part of the inspection activities, but it seems that it has been infected by the atmosphere and has been improvised at the request of the vast number of cadres and workers. But in any case, it has achieved great effect and significance.

Subsequently, in the conference room on the second floor, leaders at all levels had a discussion with the representatives of cadres and employees of the group, and the atmosphere was harmonious and peaceful, full of joy and laughter. After a short break, State Councilor, Lin Dongsheng and other leaders were invited downstairs, boarded the electric car respectively, and began a formal inspection.

Steelmaking, hot rolling, assembly and other workshops are all places that must be visited, and the hot production scene, warm and huge sound make all the production processes of steel appear vibrant and full of vitality.

The electric car travels slowly between the workshops, as close to the production site as possible, so that the leaders can see more clearly and walk around a shorter distance. The State Councilor was very interested, asked to stop at every important place, closely observed the production situation, and had exchanges and cordial conversations with the front-line workers, and seemed to be very interested and patient, and also very eager to understand the ideas and practical demands of the workers.

As a result, the whole inspection activity became slow and slack, and it was close to noon in several important workshops. Liu Dong lost no time in suggesting that the State Councilor abandon the next leg of the itinerary and go to the group hotel for lunch instead, and then inspect the new area after lunch.

The State Councilor did not hesitate to reject Liu Dong's kindness, and undoubtedly decided to continue the trip, and changed the lunch to the staff canteen in the new district, to have lunch with the cadres and workers, and also to take a look at the work of the group's employees.

The leader's words are orders, which cannot be delayed at any time, Liu Dong hurriedly called the canteen of the new district to make preparations, and at the same time diligently arranged for the state councilors and other provincial and municipal leaders to go out for a ride.

When the convoy started driving again, the atmosphere in the carriage became much more relaxed and cheerful, and the mood of the state councilor was particularly high, and he actually discussed with Lin Dongsheng the issue of the main role of state-owned enterprises in the operation and marketization, and fully affirmed the practice of the iron and steel group, especially in the morning Liu Dong said in the car, the party members and activists in the advanced nature of the trial and community supervision, I hope to take time to visit one or two communities in the afternoon to have a look.

Lin Dongsheng agreed to the state councilor's proposal and suggested that the time spent inspecting the new district should be saved as much as possible, and that the community should investigate the development of ideological and political work.

The Council of State nodded in agreement. Qi Tianxiang watched the conversation between the two of them, didn't get involved, just smiled and listened. Just like the State Council smiled meaningfully, Qi Tianxiang also fully understood Lin Dongsheng's thoughts, in fact, what he was most concerned about was the provincial and municipal reports in the afternoon, as well as the departure time of the State Councilor's flight.

This is the most crucial issue, to safely take the State Councilor off the plane and then safely put him on the plane, so that the reception can be successfully concluded and he can rest in peace. Every minute that the leader is here, he has a great responsibility on his shoulder, and he can't take anything lightly.

Qi Tianxiang is not in this mood, only by quickly ending the activities here, sending the State Councilor away, and then sending Lin Dongsheng away, can he concentrate on dealing with the matter of the mining disaster, and can he calm down and continue his own affairs, these things do not have a preliminary result, even if he leaves, he will not feel at ease.

But now he has not much time left for himself, and he knows this very well, and he knows very well what to do and how to do it.
