Hou Zhehai and Qi Tianxiang walked out of the restaurant side by side, and only when they walked outside the door did they say to Qi Tianxiang seriously: "I won't participate in the morning's activities, you should worry more about things here!" ”

Qi Tianxiang had already expected Hou Zhehai's actions and words, but he still pretended to be surprised and said, "Why do you leave now?" Don't you wait for the preliminary results to come out before leaving? I'd like you to give me advice! ”

"No, Secretary Huang has already contacted which side in the morning, and now it's noon when I arrive, and I can take a walk in the afternoon." Hou Zhehaixiang pretended to look at Qi Tianxiang magnanimously, then looked at Wang Ping, Liao Yong and others who accompanied him, and said firmly: "The provincial party committee has put such an important burden on your shoulders, I believe that you can handle it well, or in any sentence, people's livelihood comes first, as long as you put the well-being of the people in mind, there is no problem that cannot be solved." ”

Hou Zhehai looked at Qi Tianxiang, looked at the few who nodded frequently, and then said slowly: "We have talked a lot last night, grasp the node, distinguish the priorities, things will always be solved." Okay, I won't say anything superfluous, let's break up! ”

Qi Tianxiang endured the emotions in his heart, reached out to hold Hou Zhehai's hand, but did not let go of it with a polite shake, but took Hou Zhehai's hand and walked to the elevator room, saying as he walked: "The so-called Yiyan Master, how should I send it to you, not to mention the farewell of the ten-mile long pavilion, it should still be sent to the hall." ”

Hou Zhehai was very surprised by Qi Tianxiang's behavior, but he still looked at the other people, shook his head with a wry smile helplessly, and said to Qi Tianxiang with a little reproach: "You! It's still the same as before, it's just too polite. It's not right, it's not right. ”

As he spoke, Hou Zhehai and Qi Tianxiang, accompanied by Wang Ping and several leaders, got on the elevator hand in hand, and under the gaze of everyone, they took the escalator side by side, and walked until they walked outside the revolving door of the hall, only to let go of their hands, and after waving to the people who saw them off, they walked down the steps with satisfaction, got into their own special car, and drove away from the hotel slowly.

Qi Tianxiang always smiled and watched Hou Zhehai walk down the steps and walk onto the special car where the secretary had opened the door, until the special car drove out of sight, still standing quietly without turning around.

Qi Tianxiang gave Hou Zhehai enough opportunities to perform, and also gave Hou Zhehai enough face, the so-called one return and one report, so that it is fair. In front of everyone, he pulled Hou Zhehai with one hand and Wang Ping to the table with the other, earning enough eyeballs and unanimous praise from officials of all sizes in the restaurant, but inadvertently hurt Hou Zhehai's self-esteem, or face, and people naturally wanted to find a chance to equalize. Qi Tianxiang was before the meal, and Hou Zhehai chose after the meal.

I didn't ask to leave before breakfast, and I didn't disclose half a point during the meal, but I walked out of the restaurant when I left the table after the meal, and I suddenly asked to leave. In fact, Qi Tianxiang realized that he would make a move from the moment Hou Zhehai appeared in front of everyone side by side with him.

Shoulder to shoulder is nothing more than an equal expression, although they are all members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and deputy secretary, Qi Tianxiang has the identity of the governor, but Hou Zhehai has a senior party building theorist, especially Qi Tianxiang's past as a teacher at the Party School. Although the positions are different, Mr. Hou Zhehai's qualifications are enough to make up for this slight gap, and with the changes of time, it is not impossible for Hou Zhehai and Qi Tianxiang to be on an equal footing and become Qi Tianxiang's class leader.

Hou Zhehai just wanted to convey such a message to everyone, there was no difference between him and Qi Tianxiang, except for the division of labor, there was no difference in others. These Qi Tianxiang can be understood and accepted, after all, Hou Zhehai came over yesterday afternoon and appeared in the restaurant until the morning, not many people know, he wants to try his best to show his existence, especially the meaning of existence, equality in the eyes of everyone is the best form, and it is also the most illustrative.

The performance after that made Qi Tianxiang unhappy and even dissatisfied. In front of Wang Ping and Liao Yong, Hou Zhehai looked high and explained his work, which aroused Qi Tianxiang's disgust, and intentionally or unintentionally mentioned last night's conversation, it seemed that some kind of tacit understanding had been reached, which made Qi Tianxiang vigilant, but under the gaze of everyone, any unhappiness or dissatisfaction would cause unnecessary misunderstandings and even trouble.

After the momentary emotional change, Qi Tianxiang did not hesitate, not only did not show the slightest boredom, but took advantage of the situation to push Hou Zhehai's performance to the extreme. Intuition told Qi Tianxiang that Hou Zhehai's transitional expression of power desire was just a momentary spontaneous induction, which was a hundred secrets for Hou Zhehai, and it may give him a rare opportunity, so that everyone should feel that all things and decisions come from Hou Zhehai's instructions, which is not only logical, but also does not need to be deliberately expressed.

Hou Zhehai will leave Guishui County, this is what Qi Tianxiang has long expected, since Hou Zhehai advised himself not to wade into this muddy water last night, Qi Tianxiang thought that he would take the opportunity to withdraw, but he didn't expect it to be this time. Therefore, Qi Tianxiang took Hou Zhehai's hand and insisted on seeing him off, and instead of taking the elevator to the ground floor, he left by car in the backyard, but got off the elevator and took the escalator to the hall, and walked away from the main entrance in full view of everyone, just to let everyone see it.

After sending Hou Zhehai away, and watching the special car out of sight for a long time, Qi Tianxiang slowly retracted his gaze, turned around and slowly entered the hall, and was about to take the escalator up to the conference room on the second floor for a meeting, when he heard Liao Yong calling softly behind him: "Governor Qi, please wait a moment." ”

Qi Tianxiang stopped when he heard this, turned around and looked at Liao Yong curiously, and saw that Liao Yong was waving to the side of the hall, so he also turned his gaze to which side, and saw several soldiers striding towards this side.

"Governor Qi, please allow me to introduce you." When Liao Yong saw the soldiers approaching, he introduced them to Qi Tianxiang one by one: "This is Captain Liu of the Army Aviation Unit of the Military Region, Captain Zhang of the Gold Detachment of our Corps, and Captain Feng of the Corps Support Brigade. ”

Listening to Liao Yong's introduction, Qi Tianxiang faced several neat and majestic soldiers with a serious expression, first accepted their solemn military salute, stretched out his hand and shook hands with the three soldiers one by one, and asked gently: "Comrades have worked hard, this is just arriving, or are you ready to go!" ”

"Captain Liu of the Army Airlines arrived in the morning, and the gold detachment and support team were in place last night, so they assembled outside the city for fear of disturbing the people." Liao Yong stood beside Qi Tianxiang and whispered: "As the first batch of pilot troops to enter the accident area, they are here to receive the mission, and then they will enter the scene by the helicopter of the Army Airlines. ”

Qi Tianxiang listened to Liao Yong's introduction, nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Liao Yong with a side face and said, "Have you explained the complicated situation in the mining area and the accident area to the comrades?" In particular, have the factors of secondary disasters that may occur been considered and improved? Whether it can guarantee absolute safety is crucial, and if this cannot be guaranteed, it is more prudent to consider the way of steady progress. ”

"We have fully considered these factors and difficulties, and have also made corresponding plans and preventive measures." Before Liao Yong could answer, Wang Ping, who was standing on the other side of Qi Tianxiang, took over and said: "The mission of a soldier is to dare to stand up when the country and the people need it, to appear in the most dangerous and needy places, and never be afraid or afraid of sacrifice. ”

"Not afraid of sacrifice is the spirit, this is the honor of the soldiers, this is the spiritual power that can never be changed, but not afraid of sacrifice and not sacrificing are not contradictory, the former is the spirit, the latter is the measure guarantee, we must organically combine these two points, not only to ensure the spirit, but also to protect the precious life." Qi Tianxiang looked at Wang Ping, and said seriously and seriously, but he was very dissatisfied with Wang Ping's understatement in his heart, but he also understood the environment and atmosphere at the moment, not the time to theorize, so he eased his tone and slowly said to the three grassroots officials: "You must put safety first, the task needs to be completed, but safety must be guaranteed, this is my only requirement for you." ”

Qi Tianxiang said, and said softly to Liao Yong with a side face: "Since the arrangements have been made, please comrades, let's go!" It is necessary to pass on the situation ahead as soon as possible, so that the follow-up operations can be arranged. ”

"I understand, please rest assured that Governor Qi will be stationed at the scene by helicopter with the first batch of soldiers to ensure that the news from the front will be transmitted back as soon as possible." Liao Yong straightened up and said as if determined: "I promise to live up to the trust of the provincial party committee and the provincial government." ”

Liao Yong's words and posture made Qi Tianxiang a little surprised for a while, so he turned his face to look at Wang Ping and asked, "Is this the conclusion of your team's research?" At this time, at this time, is it appropriate for Comrade Liao Yong to lead the team into the scene? ”

Wang Ping seemed to know that Qi Tianxiang would have such a question, and replied without a moment's hesitation: "This is an unwritten rule that our corps has formed over the years, but whenever there is a major incident, the captain and the political commissar must have one person lead the team to enter, and the soldiers are required to do it, we should do it first as leaders, and it is more powerful than any preaching." For this reason, the two of us had a dispute over who to lead the team for in the morning. ”

Qi Tianxiang's heart suddenly swelled with emotion, and at the same time, there was a deep sense of guilt, the mental state and operation mode of the army, especially the quality of cadres, were fundamentally different from those of the localities. Just now, I was disgusted by Wang Ping's big words, and it seemed that I had misunderstood him, so I glanced around at the few soldiers in front of me, stretched out my hand and solemnly shook hands with them one by one again, and said with emotion: "On behalf of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, I would like to express my sincere thanks to you!" I hope you will live up to your high expectations and be a pioneer in the rescue and disaster relief work, thank you! ”
