"Tea? Or plain water? Seeing Qi Tianxiang sitting respectfully across from him, Zheng Ming slowly walked out from behind the desk, and teased with a slight smile: "I'm just afraid that I don't have your favorite tea here, which will ruin your fun, so boiled water is also a good choice." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Don't, don't be like this, you know that the teacher is as clear as water and as bright as a mirror, and you are willing to be thin and high-winded, and there is no excuse for good tea, but there is no reason to entertain guests with boiled water. Even if there is an elegant talk of 'gentlemen's friendship is as light as water', it will not be a guest from afar, so it will be hastily dismissed! Seeing that Zheng Ming was about to pour tea for himself, Qi Tianxiang hurriedly stood up, stretched out his hands to stop Zheng Ming, who was walking out, and invited him back to the chair behind the desk, before picking up the teacup placed in the corner of the table, and responding with a smile: "If it's just a cup of water, I won't bother you, I can come myself." ”

Qi Tianxiang spoke, under Zheng Ming's gentle gaze, turned around and walked to the water dispenser, first filled Zheng Ming's cup with hot water, walked back and gently put it in front of Zheng Ming, and then walked back to the water dispenser calmly, first picked up the tea bucket, opened the lid, took out a small amount of tea leaves and put it in the paper cup, poured hot water, and then slowly walked back to the chair in front of the desk and sat down, looking at Zheng Ming exaggerated and exclaiming: "Jasmine hydrangea, although it is not very good, but the aroma is enough to be proud of the group of tea, It is also just right to drink this tea in the harsh winter season. ”

"It's good to be able to enter the eyes of your Professor Qi, although Beijing is the capital, it neither produces tea nor makes tea, and the mouth that can be there is also the input from all over the country, so red, green, white, yellow, black, who enjoys what tea, that is, the words that old Beijing often hangs on the lips--- who walks what birds, has nothing to do with treatment and income, it is all about interests and hobbies. I have such a condition here, I want to drink good tea, what is in the teahouse, but I don't have it here. Zheng Ming looked at Qi Tianxiang with a straight face, the expression on his face and his words were completely different, and he said slowly: "Besides, this is my office, that is, the library in your mouth, it's good to have tea to drink." ”

Qi Tianxiang knew that Zheng Ming had different hearts, so he smiled and responded playfully: "Also, it's good to have tea to drink, what else is there to find fault with?" Looking forward to recovery after a long illness, thirsty for clear springs, what you can't get is often the best, and what you lose is the most precious. ”

"It's good that you're sober and not confused, which is good." Zheng Ming stared at Qi Tianxiang with his eyes intently, stretched out his hand to take the cigarette handed by Qi Tianxiang, got up and leaned on the lighter and lit it, took a puff slowly, and said slowly teasingly: "While saying that I am a slow guest, look at the cigarettes I entertain, not to mention the provincial and ministerial-level cadres, even the students who come in and out of this campus rarely smoke cigarettes at this price!" In such a month, it is estimated that you can save a lot of real money! ”

"I can really save a lot, I don't dare to say that other departments and units, that is, the general office of the provincial government, they are secretly happy with this one." Qi Tianxiang looked at Zheng Ming with a hippie smile, smoked a cigarette and said: "Although there are no clear requirements, nor are there any regulations, but the governor takes the lead in setting an example, and no one dares to take it seriously, anyway, tobacco and alcohol are basically on par with me." Isn't there a saying --- the power of example is limitless? Ordinary people live at home and pay attention to a careful budget, such a huge provincial government, there is no need to calculate the life, run and leak inadvertently, but pay attention to it is a lot of expenses! ”

Although it was a greeting, Zheng Ming knew the seriousness of Qi Tianxiang's words, so he didn't answer his words anymore, slowly finished the cigarette in his hand, gently pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray at the corner of the table, looked at Qi Tianxiang casually, and asked calmly, "How is it?" Done talking? ”

After the greetings, entering the topic, Qi Tianxiang readjusted his sitting posture, looked at Zheng Ming seriously and said: "I started talking at nine o'clock in the morning, first I arrived at the East Courtyard, and then I went to the North Garden, and the two places did not delay too much time. I only arrived yesterday afternoon, and I was lucky to have a debriefing this morning. ”

Qi Tianxiang saw Zheng Ming's expression of listening carefully, and then said: "Originally, Secretary Lin was supposed to report with me, Secretary Lin explained the reason in advance, so I had to come alone, fortunately, the leaders understood our actual situation and did not mind Secretary Lin's absence, which made us very pleased." ”

"First of all, on behalf of Secretary Lin, I briefly reported on the progress of the party building work of the provincial party committee in the past year, as well as the positive response to the work requirements of the central 'three stricts and three realities' party committee, and the practice of solidly promoting the construction of work style, which has been affirmed by the leading comrades." Qi Tianxiang briefly recounted the content of the morning report and the affirmative statement of the leader, and then looked at Zheng Ming and continued: "In terms of the work of the provincial government, in addition to the overall economic work, the province has focused on some specific practices adopted by the province in agricultural production and industrial revitalization, especially mentioning the problems and deficiencies in production safety and social stability since the beginning of this year. The leading comrades did not criticize our work too much, on the contrary, they encouraged more than demanded, and expected more than blamed, which not only affirmed the choice of our work focus, but also praised our idea of basing ourselves on the three rural areas and seeking stability and paying attention to the development of industry, and hoped that we would continue to do a good job in the work of infrastructure and foundation stability in accordance with the existing ideas, not be in a hurry, act according to the law of development, improve in stability, and grow stronger in the process of improvement. ”

Qi Tianxiang calmly introduced the situation of the meeting with the leaders, and sighed sincerely: "Regarding the overall political, economic and social situation of our Hehai Province, I feel that the central leading comrades understand more thoroughly than us, and have an accurate pulse than us, not only giving us the encouragement and support we deserve, but also giving us full respect and trust, giving us great confidence and strength, a clearer sense of direction, and a clearer goal. After I go back, I will conscientiously convey the spirit of the instructions of the leading comrades to the provincial party committee, to Comrade Lin Dongsheng, and to all colleagues in the provincial government, so as to make a good start to the situation. ”

After listening to Qi Tianxiang's calm narration and introduction, Zheng Ming could clearly feel the irrepressible excitement and excitement in his heart under Qi Tianxiang's calm appearance, and he was also secretly amazed by Lin Dongsheng's wisdom. Let Qi Tianxiang alone represent the provincial party committee and the provincial government, and comprehensively report to the central party and government leaders on the political, economic, and social development of Hohai Province over the past year, which is not only an opportunity for Qi Tianxiang to exercise, but also an important measure to push him to the forefront.

"The fact that the work of the past year has been affirmed by the central government shows that the work of the Hehai Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government has been fruitful and has also made hard efforts." Zheng Ming looked at Qi Tianxiang with satisfaction, picked up the cigarette case on the table and handed Qi Tianxiang a cigarette, and said with a slight smile: "As the vanguard of the first echelon of the national economy, Hehai Province has a total economic volume and proportion that cannot be ignored. Hehai is also a province with a large population, and the agricultural population accounts for a relatively large proportion, and the impact of agricultural production and rural development on social stability and development is obvious. This determines that the political, economic, and social development of Hehai is no longer just a matter for the Hehai Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, but an important link in the whole country's game of chess, and it is natural for the central government to attach great importance to it. ”

Zheng Ming spoke, waved his hand to stop Qi Tianxiang from leaning over to light a cigarette for him, signaled him to light the fire himself, and then picked up the lighter on the table and lit the cigarette in his hand, took a deep puff of smoke, and let a thick smoke spread in front of his face, and then calmly continued: "The central government is satisfied with the work of the Hehai Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, and the first thing that is satisfied is the political stability of Hehai Province, as well as the clarity of the work ideas of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government headed by Comrade Dongsheng and you. Solid and steady economic work is inseparable. You have a good grasp of the relationship between development and stability, and this is also an important point for you to be affirmed by the central authorities, and in your first year, you should still be happy to have such a situation. ”

Zheng Ming also seemed to be unable to suppress the joy in his heart, and couldn't help but stand up and walk a few steps on the spot, before looking at Qi Tianxiang and said slowly: "It should be said that for your performance in the first year, not only Comrade Dongsheng, but also many people are sweating, and the Central Committee is not monolithic, the situation is very complicated, and the opinions are not completely unified." This is also understandable, because our leaders of the older generation have said very incisively---There is no party outside the party, and the idea of an emperor." There are no factions in the party, and there are all kinds of strange things. After all, you are a scholar cadre, and your work and performance in the past few years have been remarkable, but it is only departmental work, and it is implemented under the overall work deployment of the provincial party committee. Even the post of secretary of the Hezhou Municipal Party Committee has only been a little more than half a year. This is a shortcoming in your qualifications, which cannot be ignored, but you have stepped into the leadership position of Hehai, a major economic province, and the voices of controversy and doubts have never subsided, not to mention that you are also very clear. ”

"You are in your early fifties, and you have only been in a substantive leadership position for a few years, and it is a few big steps in a few years, and in just a few years, you have gone through a height that many people have not reached for decades, and it is impossible not to be questioned and slandered, the reality is so complicated, that is, so simple and clear." Zheng Ming said slowly, his demeanor became solemn, but he did not avoid it, and said bluntly: "The mining disaster at the beginning of the year, the spring drought and the severe agricultural situation, as well as the environmental pollution problem, all have a serious threat to your position, and many people are waiting and watching, that is, to see how you deal with it, but also to see the attitude of the central government, fortunately, your performance is positive and in place, so that the situation is clear." ”
