Putting down Lin Dongsheng's phone, Qi Tianxiang's heart was much clearer, Lin Dongsheng knew far more than he expected, but he didn't interfere too much, but saved himself the trouble of reporting. Now that he knows, he will naturally participate in it and play his due role.

Lin Dongsheng's words sent a clear signal, the most meaningful of which is to authorize Qi Tianxiang to deal with the cadre problem as needed, and clearly put forward that the housing construction can be given greater rights, and the handling of the ownership of the mining area is also acquiesced, which at least shows that Lin Dongsheng is aware of the seriousness of the situation, and he is willing to take responsibility if necessary, which makes Qi Tianxiang have confidence and confidence.

Putting down the phone, Qi Tianxiang was originally going to call Yan Yong, but after thinking about it, he dispelled the idea. In the afternoon, I took the time to send a message to Yan Yong, asking him to check the connection between the mining area and which overseas Chinese was connected to, as well as the relevant background. I believe that Yan Yong has his own channels to obtain such information, and it will not be too difficult. This kind of thing has not been in Guishui County for a year or two, and many people know the inside story, but they just don't want to say it. The same information Qi Tianxiang also sent to Monkey and Wang Jinhu, all of whom let them have news and specific information and send them to their e-mail.

Now it seems that some people may be more anxious about this matter than themselves, and it is better to face it directly than to explore the reasons. Thinking of this, Qi Tianxiang slowly stood up, put the cigarette case and mobile phone into his pocket, and then opened the door and walked out slowly.

Xiao Zhang stood outside the door and waited, and when he saw Qi Tianxiang walking out, he leaned into his ear and whispered, "Secretary Hou is waiting in your room!" It's been a while. ”

Qi Tianxiang nodded slowly, not at all surprised by Xiao Zhang's words, it seemed that it should be like this, and calmly walked slowly towards the room where he lived, waiting for Xiao Zhang to gently push open the door before striding in.

Hou Zhehai and Zhou Tong were sitting on the sofa chatting, and when they saw Qi Tianxiang enter the door, they both stopped talking and stood up. Qi Tianxiang hurriedly greeted him, and said repeatedly: "Sit, sit, don't be polite." ”

Qi Tianxiang spoke, politely shook hands with Hou Zhehai, and said with a slight smile: "It's been a day out, and I'll have a phone call with Secretary Lin to report the situation, so as not to hang him up." ”

Seeing a hint of jealousy and gloomy look flash in Hou Zhehai's eyes, Qi Tianxiang looked at Zhou Tong and said with a little complaint: "Secretary Hou is here, you should go to the other side and tell me how bad it is, let him wait." ”

After Qi Tianxiang finished speaking, seeing Zhou Tong's expression that he wanted to distinguish, Hou Zhehai hurriedly took Qi Tianxiang's words and said: "I can't blame Lao Zhou, he is going to report to you, let me stop me, I don't have anything to do, just come over to chat and pass the time, how can I delay your business?" ”

"When I came in just now, Lao Fang and Tao Ran from Shanyin City were here, I'm afraid there is any work that needs to be reported to you, and they are embarrassed to sit for a long time when I come." Hou Zhehai said with a smile, but he couldn't see joy from the stiff expression on his face, just barely smiled, and then asked with concern: "My rash visit won't affect your work at night, right?" ”

Qi Tianxiang knew Hou Zhehai's intentions, so he and Zhou Tong glanced at each other, and then said to Hou Zhehai with a smile: "How can there be so much work, what kind of work are you talking about so late, I'm afraid that the two of them are afraid that I will be lonely at night, so they came to chat with me." Haven't you heard what it says in the three monsters of cadre promotion? Meetings and speeches are like competitions, drinking is not waiting to rely on the stomach, and going to the countryside to have fun in the room. ”

"You're talking about the female attaché, what's the point of a few big men sitting and chatting?" Hou Zhehai knew that Qi Tianxiang was talking nonsense, so he looked at Zhou Tong and said with a smile: "I heard that the three monsters are like this-focus like worship in meetings, sit on your knees when you drink and coquettishly, and wear skirts like streamers at night." Isn't that so? Secretary-General Zhou. ”

"There are versions of officialdom jokes, there are all kinds of sources, you and Governor Qi's jokes have provenances, there is no genuine piracy, they are all jokes, just a laugh." Zhou Tong looked at Hou Zhehai with a smile, and then looked at Qi Tianxiang and said seriously: "Secretary Hou is here, you two provincial leaders should get down to business!" I have to take a leave of absence, and I have to tell my wife that I am safe. ”

"This is a model of a model husband, who never forgets his wife at home wherever he goes, which is worthy of praise and learning." Hou Zhehai had obviously adjusted, looked at Zhou Tong and joked, then looked at Qi Tianxiang, and said teasingly: "I heard that you also have such a good habit, did you also report to your younger siblings just now?" ”

Qi Tianxiang looked at Hou Zhehai, didn't answer, just smiled slightly, then nodded to Zhou Tong, waited until Zhou Tong walked out of the room and closed the door, then turned to Hou Zhehai, picked up the cigarette case on the coffee table, took out a cigarette and handed it to Hou Zhehai, and then took out a cigarette himself, took a puff slowly, and looked at Hou Zhehai with a smile through the heavy smoke.

Qi Tianxiang was reluctant to speak first, and Hou Zhehai didn't know where to start the topic, so the two of them competed silently. After a short silence, Hou Zhehai couldn't help but open his mouth, and said slowly with emotion: "I didn't expect such a small county in the mountains to make such a big move, how could there be a landslide?" ”

"It's not surprising that the forests have been cut down excessively, the mountains have been exposed to sunlight and rain for a long time, and the environment has continued to deteriorate due to the blasting of rocks, and this kind of thing will always happen, but sooner or later." Qi Tianxiang echoed casually, but he didn't want to blindly agree, so he looked at Hou Zhehai and said deeply: "With the reduction of forest land resources, livable mountains and Pingba will gradually disappear, not only wild resources, but also people's livelihood is a big problem." The delicacies and wild foods that Wang Tongjun introduced to us just now are really delicious in my memory in the near future. ”

Hou Zhehai was deeply surprised by Qi Tianxiang's feelings, he didn't expect Qi Tianxiang to think so deeply, so far, so he said with deep understanding: "I can't imagine that you think so far, and the sorrow is so heavy, if it weren't for your identity as the governor, it would really make people think that he is an ancient man who worries about the country and the people, and is compassionate to the heavens and people?" Qu yuan? Du fu? Or the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest? Or maybe both? ”

"But your compassion is not disease-free**, Fan Zhongyan is humble and does not dare to forget the country, not to mention that you are now in a high position, you can make a difference, and you can change the status quo by yourself, which is actually not difficult." Hou Zhehai looked at Qi Tianxiang and wanted to say something, so he hurriedly continued his words and said: "A great man once had a classic exposition - a blank piece of paper has no burden, so it is good to write the latest and most beautiful words, and to draw the latest and most beautiful blueprint. Cleaning up the old mountains and rivers can not only show the majesty, but also write life. ”

Qi Tianxiang listened to Hou Zhehai's seemingly marginal comments, but his heart was like a mirror, he knew what Hou Zhehai wanted to say, and admired his eloquence and the inventory in his stomach, which could wrap the circle so big, which showed how well prepared he was.

For Hou Zhehai, Qi Tianxiang always had a very contradictory feeling in his heart, on the one hand, he admired his profound theoretical and cultural accomplishments, and on the other hand, he was also tired of his self-proclaimed pretentiousness and artificiality in the theoretical circles, and there was also a kind of sour air of a literati, as well as the sophistication and slippery in the officialdom and theoretical circles.

The relationship between Qi Tianxiang and Hou Zhehai can be said to be a relationship between a teacher and a friend, and when he was training at the Central Party School for the first time, Hou Zhehai was a lecturer and lectured on the theory of party building, which can be regarded as a teacher. But before this, Qi Tianxiang, as an expert in administrative law, had taught courses on administrative law and administration according to law at the Central Party School, and was a colleague and friend, that is, in the process of lecturing, Qi Tianxiang met Zheng Ming and Hou Zhehai.

For Zheng Ming, Qi Tianxiang admired from the bottom of his heart, Zheng Ming's strong bookish atmosphere, the rigor and heaviness of the scholars, especially the generosity and humility from the heart, all made Zheng Ming in Qi Tianxiang's eyes, as majestic and upright as a mountain, and like a trickle of water to nourish him. Although he is also a professor and colleague, in Qi Tianxiang's view, Zheng Ming is his teacher and brother, and Zheng Ming also has a deep attraction, so he must look up.

And Hou Zhehai, in which period did they meet, and they are also at the level of professors and directors of teaching and research departments, but in Qi Tianxiang's view, there are obvious differences between the two, in addition to knowledge and self-cultivation, there are also huge differences in dealing with others. Hou Zhehai is only a knowledgeable teacher who transmits knowledge, but cannot act as a guide and a mentor to solve doubts.

Although there are still some contacts after leaving the party school, they are limited to having common students enter Beijing to express respect and invite guests to dinner, and after having the essence of students, there are fewer contacts, Qi Tianxiang has been teaching at the party school from time to time, but Hou Zhehai has left the actual teaching post of the party school and has become a full-time theoretical researcher in the political research office.

After Hou Zhehai landed in Hehai, for a period of time, Qi Tianxiang also wanted to repair the increasingly cold relationship between the two, and used his familiarity and understanding of Hehai Province to give Hou Zhehai practical help, but after several exchanges, he gradually felt that Hou Zhehai was not here, and he didn't care much about Qi Tianxiang's help, and after having the position of full-time deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, the identity of the scholar was diluted, and there was a little more domineering of the deputy secretary, as well as the arrogance of overriding others, which made Qi Tianxiang gradually respect him.

Especially after the relationship between Hou Zhehai and Lin Dongsheng gradually became delicate, Qi Tianxiang consciously maintained a detachment, and also became alert to some of Hou Zhehai's small actions, and felt a little bored, gradually distanced himself, and even deliberately stood on the opposite side of Hou Zhehai at some point.
