Indeed, it was only at about nine o'clock in the morning that Sun Fangbing was officially notified by phone, and there was no politeness, no explanation, only the place and the incident that informed him. [Ran^Text^Library] Originally, today's meeting was to study the work plan of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection for next year, for which Sun Fangbing had prepared for a long time, but the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee could not put forward the agenda several times, and this time he finally had a chance, but he was disturbed by a phone call, and he didn't know when he would discuss it next time. This is not only related to the development of next year's work and the increase and renewal of case-handling equipment, but also has a serious impact on the improvement of the conditions of dozens of people. Sun Fangbing was naturally annoyed, and asked Huang Changjiang for leave on the phone, Huang Changjiang was also very dissatisfied, but as a subordinate, Sun Fangbing could only try his best to endure it, and the taste of splinting at both ends was uncomfortable, but it was also difficult to get rid of.

"Okay, Xiao Li will communicate with you in a while, and hand over the relevant case and personnel information to you." Qi Tianxiang thought slowly and said, "Xiao Li will still be in Huayi City in the near future, and you can communicate at any time if there is any situation." ”

Sun Fangbing nodded heavily, and made a clear statement. Qi Tianxiang didn't do anything to explain, and it was inconvenient to ask more and say more at this time. I am not very familiar with it, and it is such a situation to communicate, the barrier is insurmountable, the office immediately fell silent, and even a little stiff, until Huang Changjiang pushed the door in, and the deadlock was broken.

"I was a little impatient just now, my behavior and words are not very decent, there are offends, Secretary Qi is more forgiving." Huang Changjiang hurriedly walked in, stretched out his hand and held Qi Tianxiang's hand tightly, his face was full of smiles, but the traces of artificiality were clearly hanging on his face.

"Whatever Secretary Huang is talking about, it's all for work, not a personal grudge." Qi Tianxiang stood up, held Huang Changjiang's hand, and then said to Sun Fangbing with a smile: "What's more, we really have a personal grudge, and it is not so simple to understand it in a few words, and we don't fight it to the death for three hundred rounds." ”

Qi Tianxiang's tepid words made Huang Changjiang and Sun Fangbing a little stunned for a moment, but after understanding Qi Tianxiang's intentions, they couldn't help laughing. Although everyone felt differently in the laughter, it quickly diluted the awkward atmosphere.

From Huang Changjiang's performance when he entered the door, Qi Tianxiang still couldn't help but admire his old spiciness, adaptability, from the anger and dissatisfaction just now, to the current smile, such an official with such an identity and status, such a quick change, still surprised him. In addition to the difference in positions, he didn't dare to be too tough with him, a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and he also had super self-control, which Qi Tianxiang felt ashamed of.

Inadvertently, Qi Tianxiang glanced at the alarm clock hanging on the wall, and in a little more than half an hour, Huang Changjiang not only ended the Standing Committee, but also returned to the office to think about it for a while, and it is very likely that he also talked to someone on the phone, in short, in this short time, Huang Changjiang will definitely make full use of it. Therefore, there is a reasonable explanation for such a change.

"How? Where do I sit? After laughing, Huang Changjiang looked at Qi Tianxiang seriously and said tentatively: "Where do I have good tea, which is specially designed to entertain distinguished guests." ”

"Forget it! If you think about it, you can't drink any good tea. Qi Tianxiang responded lightly, a smile appeared on his face, and said slowly: "Let's just say it here, there are some things that really need to be decided by you!" ”

"Look at what you said, if there is anything, please Secretary Qi take an idea." Huang Changjiang seemed to have understood that Qi Tianxiang would have such an answer, so he was no longer reluctant, slowly walked to the sofa and sat down, looked at Qi Tianxiang and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "If you have any instructions, you just give orders!" I and the Huayi Municipal Party Committee will resolutely implement it and will never discount it. ”

Before Qi Tianxiang could answer, Huang Changjiang commanded Sun Fangbing with a grin: "Hurry up and pour me a glass of water, I'm dying of thirst this morning." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Qi Tianxiang, and said with a smile: "This is diabetes, so I know what thirst is, no wonder Chinese medicine calls it thirst death disease, and I can't do without water for a while." ”

"This is called the disease of wealth, which cannot be separated from water, and it cannot be separated from places where there is water." Qi Tianxiang looked at Huang Changjiang, and then glanced at Sun Fangbing, who was busy pouring water, frowned imperceptibly, and was very disapproving of Huang Changjiang's arrogant style, until Sun Fangbing brought the teacup to the coffee table in front of Huang Changjiang, and then said slowly: "Old Sun, please go out and call Xiao Li and Xiao Zhang in, just say it here!" ”

Sun Fangbing nodded, turned around and left, Qi Tianxiang looked at Sun Fangbing's back steadily, and only retracted his gaze for a long time, and said to Huang Changjiang with a slight smile: "Regarding Li Donghe and ** Fei, as well as Han Yisheng's question, I can't say a word and a half, I will let Xiao Li leave the relevant materials with you, and you will take a slow look." What needs to be exchanged and communicated now is the issue of other cadres, and the Huayi Municipal Party Committee needs to come up with their opinions, and the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection is responsible for implementing them. ”

"This is no problem, I and the Huayi Municipal Party Committee resolutely support the decision of the Provincial Party Committee, and resolutely support the anti-corruption work of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. Huang Changjiang expressed his stance solemnly and said with confidence: "No matter who is involved in the problem, we must investigate it to the end, even if it involves me, as long as the factual basis is sufficient and the evidence is conclusive, I am willing to accept any punishment from the organization." ”

Qi Tianxiang waved his hand to stop Huang Changjiang's confession, and he didn't want to say too much, especially because he was very disgusted by his tendency to put himself alongside the Huayi Municipal Party Committee and put himself in front of the Huayi Municipal Party Committee. This is not only a subconscious habit, but a kind of arrogance and self-righteousness that overrides everything, and it is also a typical manifestation of the number one leader who has been an official for a long time, as if he is the unit, the unit is himself, and he and the unit are a whole, there is no difference at all, and he works hard for the unit, and the credit and hard work are his own. In particular, the post of secretary of the city party committee not only dominates the lives and work of millions of ordinary people, but also controls the promotion and disgrace of countless cadres, large and small.

For Huang Changjiang, Qi Tianxiang is not very familiar, only know that he is not a native of Hehai, graduated from college and was assigned to the provincial party committee, and soon became the secretary of the provincial party secretary at that time because of his flexibility and ability to do things, and later the secretary was transferred to Beijing to work, Huang Changjiang did not hesitate to follow, and he did it for nearly ten years. With the secretary's position continues to rise, his position is also rising, and finally when the secretary retreats to the second line, he is recommended to be the mayor of Huayi City, and soon ranks as the secretary of the municipal party committee, and there are also a few years, not long ago the secretary returned to his hometown to visit relatives, he is very appreciative of his work for so many years, especially the rapid progress of the infrastructure construction in the secretary's hometown, it is said that the secretary is strongly recommending him to return to Beijing to appoint, I believe that it will become a reality in the near future.

Qi Tianxiang has also heard of these rumors, but I heard that more is Huang Changjiang's domineering work style, as well as his empty-eyed style of doing things, it seems that Huayi City is his one-acre and three-point self-reserved land, and he is the supreme leader of millions of people in Huayi City. Although Xiao Li's investigation also involved him, he did not find any major clues of corruption, and it can only be said that his current attention is only focused on his position, and the power and glory that it brings, or he has more ingenious means, pretending to be someone else's hand to make a profit, and showing no traces.

Qi Tianxiang is not very convinced of the rumors, but prefers to believe that Huang Changjiang is just a matter of work style and temperament, and there is no problem of corruption or buying and selling officials, after all, a cadre who has been working by the leader's side for a long time, what he has been exposed to can still make him consciously clean himself, Qi Tianxiang is willing to believe in anyone, anything, because in his mind, Huayi City is still an old revolutionary area, there should be a large number of cadres who follow the rules, there should be some righteous things, and they are stubbornly resisting unhealthy tendencies and evil tendencies, and they exist in the moving world.

Thinking like this, Qi Tianxiang and Huang Changjiang were both thinking silently, without communication or greetings, until Sun Fangbing came in with Xiao Li and Xiao Zhang.

"This is Xiao Li, the comrade of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection who is mainly responsible for the anti-corruption work in Huayi City this time." Qi Tianxiang pointed at Xiao Li and introduced Huang Changjiang with a smile. After seeing Huang Changjiang politely shaking hands with Xiao Li, he pointed to Xiao Zhang and said, "Xiao Zhang doesn't need to be introduced, my secretary." This time he may have to stay here for a few days, and if there are any specific work requirements, Secretary Huang will explain to him as much as possible. ”

"Welcome, welcome. These are all new forces of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, young and energetic, and we hope to give strong guidance to our anti-corruption and clean government work in Huayi City. Huang Changjiang briefly shook hands with Xiao Zhang perfunctorily, and said meaningfully: "The elite soldiers and strong generals gather in Huayi, it seems that the appearance of Huayi City will be completely new." ”

Qi Tianxiang ignored Huang Changjiang's insinuations, looked at Sun Fangbing and said gently: "Let Xiao Li and Xiao Zhang inform you of the specific case in detail, and the relevant materials will also be handed over, let's start now!" ”

After receiving Qi Tianxiang's instructions, Xiao Li and Xiao Zhang quickly put the document bags in their hands on the coffee table, and due to the meticulous division of labor before, the material transmission work was in an orderly manner. Xiao Li was responsible for handing over the materials of several municipal cadres to Huang Changjiang, and Xiao Zhang was mainly responsible for handing over the case materials of other cadres to Sun Fangbing.

Huang Changjiang watched the hectic handover procedures calm down, and hastily looked at the thick materials at hand, maybe he wasn't interested, maybe he couldn't calm down at all, in short, he quickly finished reading the materials, looked at Qi Tianxiang with a solemn expression, and said slowly in a sad tone: "Shocking, shocking!" As the leader of Huayi City, he didn't find out that there was such a serious corruption problem around him, which was a dereliction of duty, a dereliction of duty. ”

"Now is not the time to talk about responsibility, and it is not the time to hold accountable." Qi Tianxiang was very dissatisfied with Huang Changjiang's pretentiousness and carelessness, so he looked at him lightly and said, "Determine the work deployment!" In this way, Lao Sun and the others can also carry out the next step, the speed must be fast, the plan must be meticulous, and there can be no problems, let alone dead people or absconding in fear of crime. ”

Qi Tianxiang couldn't help but think of Peng Qun's suicide, as well as the miserable figure lying on the table, and the sparse and white top of his head, and he couldn't help but feel a faint pain in his heart, it seemed that his own negligence indirectly caused his death. Qi Tianxiang always believes that Peng Qun is deeply guilty, but the crime is not to death, although there are various reasons, in exchange for the price of life, it is still miserable, perhaps it is the shadow caused by this incident, Qi Tianxiang constantly reminded himself that there can be no more dead people, and resolutely cannot use death to deter corruption, after all, the right to life is still the most precious.

"It should be like this, and there can be no mistakes." Huang Changjiang also felt that on such an occasion, in front of so many subordinates, his words were not up to standard, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "It's better to study and deploy the follow-up work." My attitude is very clear, I am resolutely supportive and fully cooperative. ”

Huang Changjiang's words seemed to interrupt Qi Tianxiang's thoughts, and after a short hesitation, he said with a smile: "Secretary Huang's consciousness is still high, so let's start acting according to the secretary's ideas." As he spoke, he wanted to end it, but then he said to Huang Changjiang as if he suddenly remembered: "Lao Sun's absence from the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee in the morning was temporarily arranged by me, and the responsibility lies with me, I can't beat his board puppet!" ”

"How can you! It's all work! Huang Changjiang also adjusted his mood, said with a haha, and saw that Qi Tianxiang had the intention of leaving, so he looked at the watch on his wrist and said: "It's past lunch time, Secretary Qi won't even eat a meal in Huayi City!" Appreciate this face! ”

"If you have good intentions, you won't appreciate your face!" Qi Tianxiang also glanced at his watch, and said solemnly: "Lunch can only be dealt with in the car, Secretary Haonan is waiting for my report in Haidong City, there are still hundreds of kilometers to go!" ”

"Of course the secretary doesn't dare to slack off when he sees the move, so let's go back next time!" Huang Changjiang didn't expect Qi Tianxiang to bring out Secretary Zhao Haonan to pressure him, so he couldn't help but sigh and respond, but he still asked unwillingly tentatively: "I don't know where Lao Li's investigation will be conducted, so we can arrange protective measures." ”

"If you are detained in a different place, you won't have to worry about the protective measures." Qi Tianxiang looked at Huang Changjiang for a long time, then turned his head and instructed Xiao Zhang: "You inform Xiao Wang to prepare, and we will leave." ”

Several people sent Qi Tianxiang downstairs, Qi Tianxiang politely shook hands with Huang Changjiang and said goodbye, then held Sun Fangbing's hand, shook it vigorously a few times, it seemed that the words he wanted to say were passed in the palm of his hand, and then waved goodbye.

Sitting in the car, Qi Tianxiang let out a long sigh, which didn't seem to alleviate the suppressed emotions in his heart, and he felt heavy in his heart, the events of this morning made him more worried about the affairs of Huayi City.

But what needs to be considered now is not these, but the need to report to Secretary Zhao Haonan and the thorny problems that may arise immediately.

Qi Tianxiang seemed to feel that the time was too long, just like this flat highway, although the speed was much faster, he still felt that there was no end.
