After a short period of imagination, Qi Tianxiang picked up the phone on his desk and dialed the phone in Luo Jian's office. There is no clear answer, in fact, there can be no answer, Qi Tianxiang just used a moment of thinking to stabilize his mind, for the newly promoted member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Executive Vice Governor, before and after this period, I always feel a little incomprehensible, especially the intersection with Wang Tao, although there is no clear evidence, but I still want to understand.

The phone only rang twice, and Luo Jian picked up the phone on either side, which showed that he was also waiting for Qi Tianxiang's call intently.

"I'm really sorry, I just said something to Secretary Lin, and my phone was turned off, and when I came back, I heard Xiao Zhang's report that you called."

Qi Tianxiang smiled into the microphone and explained the reason, not to mention that Luo Jian should be able to guess what can be done when Qi Tianxiang, the governor, can turn off the phone. But Qi Tianxiang just wanted to say it so clearly, that is, to clearly inform Luo Jian that compared to Luo Jian's matter, Qi Tianxiang had more important things. He is not only the governor of Hohai Province, but also the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, and there is still a distance between him and the standing committee of the provincial party committee.

After showing off briefly, Qi Tianxiang returned to the topic, and asked with concern in an inquiring tone: "You called, do you have anything to say?" ”

Qi Tianxiang's intention to ask this is also obvious, Luo Jian, as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, also participated in the morning seminar on the theory of party building, and there are any major things that cannot be said after the meeting, so he has to talk about it at this time, although he has no intention of complaining, he also reveals some impatience.

seemed to hear Qi Tianxiang's words, and there was silence on the phone for a moment, but in the end, Luo Jian's angry voice came, although it was a little difficult and hesitant, but he really said it: "That is, there are some things I want to tell you, in fact, I want to find an opportunity to make an appointment with you in the morning, but I can see Comrade Hong Hu talking to you about things, so it is inconvenient to disturb." ”

When Luo Jian said this, he seemed to feel a little straightforward, so he hurriedly added: "I just want to see if it is convenient for you, if you don't have time, you can find another time to say." ”

Hearing the repeated emphasis in Luo Jian's words, Qi Tianxiang concluded that he had something important to talk about, so it could be judged that it was important, not only the tone, but also the inconvenience of communication on the phone, which showed that Luo Jian valued the conversation very much. Although he really wanted to hear what he had to say, Qi Tianxiang deliberately hesitated, as if he was weighing the time, and then replied as if he had made up his mind: "It's better not to make another appointment!" Half an hour later, I'll be waiting for you at the provincial office, and we'll meet and talk. ”

Putting down the phone, Qi Tianxiang rang the prompt bell on the corner of the table, and when he saw Xiao Zhang coming in in a hurry, he stood up and signaled that Xiao Zhang could go. Although it didn't take half an hour for the provincial party committee to arrive at the provincial government compound, Qi Tianxiang was unwilling to be in too much of a hurry, hoping to go to the appointment calmly and give himself some time to prepare and think.

From the elevator down to the underground garage, Xiao Wang was already standing next to the car and waiting, seeing Qi Tianxiang coming out of the elevator, he hurriedly opened the door of the back seat, and protected the upper edge of the door with his hands, and waited until Qi Tianxiang got into the car before gently closing the door, and then quickly got into the car and drove slowly along the special lane.

The garage and special driveway under the small building of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee were designed before, but they were used as a refuge tunnel at that time, and it was also a temporary evacuation channel, an escape route to the outside world in an emergency. In the past, there were underground meeting rooms and living facilities, and there were sufficient supplies, food and water, which could be used for a long time. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it still existed for a long time, until the smoke of the war was far away, it was partially renovated, and an underground garage was established, and the stairs of each small building became elevators, and the passages became driveways, and the only thing that remained unchanged was that the only exit was still the Nanjiao Hotel.

Out of the Nanjiao Hotel, it is a straight avenue leading to the provincial government compound, it is not yet the evening rush hour, there are many vehicles on the road, but there is no congestion, or it is very smooth to drive to the front of the office building.

After getting out of the elevator and facing Zhou Tong who came up, Qi Tianxiang politely shook hands with him, briefly explained that Vice Governor Luo Jian was coming for a while, and walked straight into his office.

When Luo Jian walked in under the guidance of Xiao Zhang, Qi Tianxiang was sitting in front of the sofa, chatting with Zhou Tong without a match.

Seeing Luo Jian enter the door, Qi Tianxiang and Zhou Tong both stood up politely, and after shaking hands separately, when Luo Jian sat down, Zhou Zhi said goodbye in an interesting way, and handed over the time to the two of them completely.

"I'm so embarrassed! On such a hot day, you are asked to run from which side. Luo Jian smiled and said a little apologetically: "Actually, I can go over there, but if you have to come, you have to be respectful and obey." ”

"You run over and it's not hot. As the old saying goes: 'One person is cold in the cold, everyone is hot in the hot weather', and no one is immune to the scorching heat. Qi Tianxiang smiled and pointed to the teacup on the coffee table in front of Luo Jian, motioned for him to drink tea, and then repeated the old words to express his apology: "Comrade Hong Hu came to my office in the afternoon to sit down, and then went to Secretary Lin's place together, in order not to interfere with the conversation, I turned off my mobile phone in the afternoon, and asked you to call Xiao Zhang's mobile phone, which really shouldn't be!" ”

A look of jealousy flashed on Luo Jian's face in an instant, and then he responded with a smile: "Look at what you said, how can there be so many things that shouldn't be, you yourself are too busy, running on both sides of such a hot day, shouldn't I make a phone call?" ”

After a brief greeting, Luo Jian looked at Qi Tianxiang's calm face, and said slightly tentatively: "I know that you have been very busy in the past few days and are planning a major plan, I just want to come and communicate with you to see what work I can do and whether I can help?" ”

Qi Tianxiang knew the tentative tone in Luo Jian's words, but before he figured out his hole cards, he didn't want to show his thoughts too early, so he smiled slightly and said, "What day is not busy!" In the past half a year, I have been almost like a headless fly every day, bumping into each other, I really want to ask you Lao Luo, the old governor for many years, for advice! It's just that I can't figure out what you're thinking, so I really don't dare to bother! ”

"Speaking of which, Governor Qi still treats my Lao Luo as an outsider, as a member of the provincial government's constituent team, isn't it clear that you have to work around your governor, and the reason for both prosperity and loss is not very clear?" Luo Jian looked at Qi Tianxiang with dissatisfaction and protested, "It seems that I usually report to you too little and ask for instructions, so that you imagine me as an arrogant mountainist." ”
