"Soon we will be in Hedi City. Ethereal. "2." Tao Ran seemed to say with emotion, breaking the dull atmosphere in the carriage, and seeing Qi Tianxiang open his eyes and look at him, he hurriedly smiled and asked Qi Tianxiang's opinion, and asked cautiously: "Do you think we should go to the bottom of the river to rest and have lunch before leaving, or go directly to Shanyin City?" ”

Tao Ran's question reminded Qi Tianxiang, and he couldn't help but glance at the watch on his wrist, and the hour hand pointed to eleven o'clock. This is also a relatively awkward time, it is still a little early to solve the lunch time in Hedi City, but continue to walk without talking about Guishui County, even to Shanyin City is still nearly two hours by car, lunch time must be over. It's a small thing, but it's a dilemma.

"What else to eat? This time, plus the lunch time, half a day has passed, and it is not too late to rush to Guishui County? Qi Tianxiang was still muttering and didn't reply, so Sun Pingfang answered quickly: "It's still important to hurry, what's the matter with eating, find a service area to solve it casually, isn't it?" ”

"Whatever, this thing doesn't come casually." Zhou Tong also seemed to think of something, deliberately adjusted the atmosphere, and said thoughtfully: "A car is full of provincial and municipal leading cadres, a little mistake is not a trivial matter, it is better to be cautious." ”

Although Zhou Tong looked at Sun Pingfang and said, most of the people in the car heard his subtext. The last time was that he accompanied Qi Tianxiang back to the provincial capital from Huayi City, and met the traffic police for dinner in the service area of Laizhou City, which caused an earthquake in the entire transportation system, and the aftermath has not yet stopped.

"This kind of problem will not arise in our Shanyin City, and Mayor Mao and I can fully guarantee this." Everyone chuckled casually, as if they had touched the sore spot that Tao Ran did not want to be involved, and hurriedly took Zhou Tong's words and said seriously: "Although the economy of Shanyin City is not up to par, it is not allowed to rely on the three chaos of highways to supplement funds, let alone any black sheep that damage the image of the city. ”

"Alright, alright, no kidding." Everyone's interpolation is actually relieving Qi Tianxiang's embarrassment, especially Zhou Tong's words, which have an obvious sense of resolution. Seeing Tao Ran's somewhat serious expression, Qi Tianxiang smiled slightly and said slowly: "It's a waste of time to go down to eat, and the service area is not decent enough, this is really a dilemma, let's listen to the old comrades!" The stomach is not able to adapt to the condition. ”

Qi Tianxiang skillfully shifted the focus of the contradiction, making everyone's eyes turn to Fei Qun, there are so many big and small officials in the whole car, and he is in his early sixties, and he belongs to the expert technical cadres who have taken up their posts. The title of the old comrade is only worthy of his name, and Qi Tianxiang's words also mean that Fei Qun has had a gastrectomy operation, which is not suitable for starvation for a long time.

"Don't look at me, I don't have any problems." Seeing that everyone's eyes turned to him, Fei Qun smiled a little embarrassedly and made a statement, in order to prove his determination, he also took out a bag of things from the bag beside him, shook it at everyone, and said proudly: "I carry cookies with me, I can solve problems anytime and anywhere, if anyone has a request, I can also support some." ”

Fei Qun's slow and logical words made everyone laugh at once, and immediately dispelled the dull atmosphere in the carriage a lot, and also made the boredom of the road a little easier. In addition, since Tao Ran made the suggestion, he has long missed the high mouth of Hedi City, and this kind of discussion has no meaning, just a kind of idle grinding of teeth to talk about time.

This is also the effect that Qi Tianxiang hopes to have, everyone chats and talks about gossip, dilutes the loneliness of the road, and does not talk about topics such as work. Originally, Qi Tianxiang's interest was still very high after getting in the car, but seeing Tao Ran taking the initiative to sit opposite, he also knew his intentions, so he was not in the mood to communicate with him, and closed his eyes pretending to be asleep.

Tao Ran's idea is very clear, that is, he wants to use every opportunity to bridge the rift with Qi Tianxiang, at least to change Qi Tianxiang's opinion of him. This is consistent with Xiao Chaogui's thoughts in Laizhou City, as the secretary of the municipal party committee, Xiao Chaogui because of the road investigation incident at the beginning of the year, it cannot be said that Qi Tianxiang was offended, but it also caused a bad impression on Qi Tianxiang, the traffic and public security system held an on-site meeting in Laizhou City, which is to give Xiao Chaogui a look, and not only the on-site meeting at the beginning of the year, but also the on-site meeting of the province's administration according to law at the end of this year, which is not a delicious fruit.

Compared with Xiao Chaogui's embarrassment, Tao Ran's situation is even more embarrassing, after the serious radioactive water pollution in Guishui County, as the secretary of the municipal party committee, he did not come to the scene in person, but started a suburban greeting with Mayor Mao Zhigang, which made Qi Tianxiang very dissatisfied with the emergency response of the Shanyin Municipal Party Committee and the municipal government.

This is one of them, and what is even more serious is that after the water pollution is born, neither Shanyin City, nor Guishui County, nor the counties and cities along the river basin have taken any water supply measures. Compared with the emergency response system of Qinghe City downstream, it is even more passive and not at the same level. This also made Pan Youming and Wang Jinlong in Qinghe City inadvertently give eye medicine, which also caused Qi Tianxiang's dissatisfaction and anger.

This is the second, for the power and style of Han Zizai, secretary of the county party committee of Guishui County, Tao Ran, as the secretary of the municipal party committee, has no effective means of control, and allows him to act mischief and hand over the power. This account Qi Tianxiang was naturally recorded on the head of the secretary of his municipal party committee, after all, he was responsible for lax supervision, at least negligence. This is also where Qi Tianxiang is obsessed with him.

If these are not enough to escalate Qi Tianxiang's dissatisfaction, he Tao Ran used Qi Tianxiang's anger and power to bring down Han Zizi's means and methods, that is, he obviously used Qi Tianxiang as a gunman, not only killed his political enemies, but also invisibly protected himself. After all, as the person in charge of the provincial government's handling of the accident, Qi Tianxiang could not remove the secretary of the county party committee from office when the municipal party committee made a decision, and the provincial government would also remove the secretary of the municipal party committee, causing a huge amount of **. Qi Tianxiang would not be so short-sighted and impatient, and do things that make people see jokes. But such a fact made Qi Tianxiang dumb and couldn't say --- bitterness, but could only store his dissatisfaction in his heart.

Although it seems that Tao Ran's position has been retained in such a secret contest, in fact, Qi Tianxiang is starting from scratch in the handling of the incident and the aftermath, using the team of the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Guishui County. Although the matter was successfully resolved in the end, and Qi Tianxiang also relied on all aspects of the relationship to withstand the pressure from Beijing's powerful forces, all this was done without any responsibility from Shanyin City, and it can also be seen that Qi Tianxiang was disappointed in the Shanyin Municipal Party Committee and him Tao Ran himself.

After the incident, Tao Ran was waiting for revenge from Qi Tianxiang, but he never waited, maybe Qi Tianxiang didn't have time to do such a thing, or maybe Qi Tianxiang disdained him like him. In short, everything seemed to be calming down, and Qi Tianxiang seemed to have forgotten about it.

But Tao Ran never forgot this matter, and it felt uncomfortable to be included in Qi Tianxiang's alternative, especially when he gradually understood Lin Dongsheng's wishes, especially the year-end report of the provincial party committee was done by Qi Tianxiang, and he was highly praised by the central high-level, and even had a clear intention to hand over the shift, Tao Ran felt bad. always wants to find an opportunity to save some face, even if it is just to kick the bottom of Qi Tianxiang, but there is no such opportunity.

Vice Premier and Director Wang Hai of the Poverty Alleviation Office of the State Council visited the old area, and Shanyin City, one of the old areas, was asked to participate in the inspection work. In Tao Ran's view, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, not only to show his political achievements and abilities, to get close to high-ranking officials like the vice premier, but also to find an opportunity to seek exchanges and reconciliation with Qi Tianxiang. But who knew that Qi Tianxiang did not give him such an opportunity, not only did he not communicate with him alone, but he did not even arrange any inspection points except Huayi City, so that Shanyin City and him, the secretary of the municipal party committee, became real companions.

Of course, the itinerary is not specifically arranged by Qi Tianxiang, it is the schedule decided by the General Office of the Provincial Government according to the needs, but Zhou Tong is now wearing a pair of pants with Qi Tianxiang, and the ghost believes that the Secretary-General will not ask Qi Tianxiang's opinion on the determination of these important inspection routes, and from all the vice governors involved, including Qin Liang, Secretary General of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee, there are no objections, and you can understand the mystery.

bypassing Laizhou City and Shanyin City, the inspection of the old area can only be dominated by Huayi City, and the biggest beneficiary should be Wang Minglun. The opportunity for the new secretary of the municipal party committee to have such a performance is undoubtedly Qi Tianxiang's intention to give him patronage, the internal reasons are not complicated, Qi Tianxiang needs to have a competent team to help, and Wang Minglun obviously has such conditions. It is said that on the issue of the candidate for the secretary of the Huayi Municipal Party Committee, Qi Tianxiang strongly supported Wang Minglun, and I don't know when they had a connection with him, which made Qi Tianxiang so fond of him.

Although he was a little disappointed, Tao Ran still dealt with it with a hundredfold spirit, after all, deep in his heart, there was still a kind of worry, Qi Tianxiang was going to settle accounts for him after all. As a young governor, even if Qi Tianxiang has a measure, he will not completely forget the things that have just passed, and more importantly, in the future economic work, Qi Tianxiang will not tolerate the long-term existence of some disobedient city leaders. There is no contradiction between the execution of orders and the manifestation of authority, which is especially important for young governors who want to make a difference.

As if waiting for the other boot to fall, Tao Ran waited anxiously, and now with Qi Tianxiang deciding to investigate Shanyin City again, Tao Ran felt that Qi Tianxiang was finally going to make a move. The fear and anxiety of waiting is difficult, but once the moment comes, it is relaxed.

Tao Ran is in such a mood at the moment, what should come is always coming, and facing it is enough. Even if you lie down under the butcher's knife, there is still the moment when the knife falls, and everything is not over.
