When Xiao Zhang walked into the room with Wang Jinhu, Qi Tianxiang had already put on his clothes again and sat patiently on the sofa waiting.

Although it was in his own room, Qi Tianxiang still adhered to the personal guidelines of not being naked and casual, and did not dare to say that he was neatly dressed to meet guests, at least he was dressed appropriately, which was not only a respect for the guests, but also a respect for himself.

Wang Jinhu and Xiao Zhang quickly put the side dishes and wine they bought on the coffee table, Xiao Zhang hurriedly washed a few cups, made tea for Wang Jinhu, and poured the wine into the cup.

Qi Tianxiang looked at Wang Jinhu gently, picked up the cup on the coffee table, and said slowly: "In order for us to meet often but haven't communicated for a long time, we have to touch one." ”

As Qi Tianxiang spoke, he touched the cup with Wang Jinhu, took a shallow sip, blinked his taste, and sighed: "The wine is still good, I can't imagine that it is so late, it is really not easy to buy such good wine in a small county." ”

"I didn't dare to buy wine outside, I just bought a few side dishes, and the wine was brought from my own car." Wang Jinhu said honestly and truthfully: "It's so easy for you to drink my wine, and I don't have a long time to buy fake wine, this sin is a big one." ”

Qi Tianxiang stared at Wang Jinhu and said meaningfully, "Shouldn't you invite me to a glass of wine?" I have been in the provincial capital for so many years, and now I am also the director of the news department of the provincial newspaper and a well-known reporter, so I shouldn't forget to make old friends! ”

"Of course, I can't forget you, Governor Qi, I can be here today because of you, how can I forget!" Wang Jinhu looked at Qi Tianxiang sincerely and said gratefully: "It is my honor if you can be my friend, but in my heart, it has always been when you are a big brother." ”

"Don't say it!" Qi Tianxiang stared at Wang Jinhu with a slight smile, and said with a little reproach: "How can you not contact and greet your big brother for a few years when you have been a younger brother?" But what you said is true, you can have today because of my existence, in order to help me in the predicament, can I stand idly by? ”

"That's not what you mean, you're too careful, how can I blame!" Wang Jinhu stood up in a panic, looked straight at Qi Tianxiang and pleaded: "I thank you It's too late, how can you still have such an idea." ”

Seeing that Wang Jinhu was a little anxious, Qi Tianxiang slowly waved his hand and said: "Blame or not, it doesn't matter now, how can there be a posture of drinking between friends, relaxation can be happy, this is the purpose of friends drinking and gathering." Don't talk about this, drink! ”

Qi Tianxiang looked at Wang Jinhu and sat down slowly, picked up the teacup and touched Wang Jinhu, took a big sip, and his gaze became soft and distant. Wang Jinhu's feeling at the moment, Qi Tianxiang is very clear, and he also feels that it has something to do with him.

Since Wang Jinhu participated in the investigation in Pingyuan County a few years ago, his life in Qinghe Newspaper has not been easy, everything has become delicate, and his job promotion and work have encountered invisible and intangible resistance, like falling into a fog, unable to break free and even more difficult to resolve, becoming an alternative in the newspaper, alienated and alienated.

This is obvious and conceivable. The intricate network of human feelings, as well as the entanglement of interests, can be understood without thinking about it. Wang Jinhu participated in Qi Tianxiang's anti-corruption campaign, and most of the officials of the newspaper and the Propaganda Department of the municipal party committee were promoted and placed by Huang Sheng in Qinghe City.

After persisting like this for more than a year, Wang Jinhu was really depressed and difficult to continue, and he had told Li Zheng several times about leaving the newspaper, and after Li Zheng inadvertently said it to Qi Tianxiang, Qi Tianxiang fell into deep self-blame for a while, and felt a little sorry for Wang Jinhu, but he never knew that he was involved, but he just let him suffer silently under pressure and exclusion.

Although he communicated with Li Zheng and asked Wang Jinhu's opinion from Li Zheng, Qi Tianxiang told the editor-in-chief of the provincial newspaper about Wang Jinhu's situation. The relationship between classmates in the party school, as well as Qi Tianxiang's status as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, such a thing is very easy to do.

First seconded, and then officially transferred, before and after less than half a year, Wang Jinhu became the official editor of the provincial newspaper, and his wife was also transferred to work in the newspaper printing house, and also caught up with the newspaper to divide the house, and did not spend too much money to have his own home in the provincial capital.

Qi Tianxiang didn't ask about all of this, didn't intervene too much, and didn't even meet Wang Jinhu again. This is the power of power, and there are people who will do their best to do these things well, just to make the owner of the power happy or satisfied.

In a few years, Wang Jinhu gained a firm foothold in the provincial newspaper with his outstanding business ability and news sensitivity, and became the director of the news department of the newspaper, a solid backbone.

Soon after a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere was soothed, and seeing that Wang Jinhu was no longer so nervous and excited, Qi Tianxiang slowly joked: "When did Wang Xiaohu get the news!" I look at the time of your Weibo post, and it seems that I got the news almost at the same time. ”

"Maybe! You may get it a little earlier than you do. Wang Jinhu deliberately sold Guanzi, and said to Qi Tianxiang proudly: "I have my own source, when the mining accident just occurred in the morning, I got the news, but I didn't dare to release it to the public, but made several phone calls in a row to ask for verification, but I didn't get any report, I felt that this matter was not simple, I could only wait for time, until the incident arrived at the leaders of the provincial party committee and the provincial government step by step, and then carefully posted the first Weibo." ”

Wang Jinhu said without the slightest ambiguity: "Although I didn't send out the news first, I drove on the road after I got the news, and I didn't dare to boast that among all the media reporters, I should be the first to arrive at the scene." However, I did not appear in public, but conducted interviews through the side of the source, and I had a lot of first-hand information, but I could not publish it. ”

Qi Tianxiang glanced at Wang Jinhu deeply, and then asked, "What do you mean?" Is there still a problem with me being inconvenient to get on the desktop? ”

From Wang Jinhu's words, Qi Tianxiang was a little vigilant, and it seemed that there was something unspeakable outside the words. If anything, there must be something hidden, and these may not be so simple.

Thinking of this, Qi Tianxiang became a little nervous inexplicably, and looked at Wang Jinhu intently, as if he had an answer on his face.
