Qi Tianxiang is not very familiar with Yao Bingxin, but his name is like thunder, one of the few scholar-type governors in the country, a typical example of learning and excellence, and an example of successfully going from a well-known scholar to a senior administrative official, which has aroused the envy and jealousy of many people. In particular, the crossover from an administrative jurist to the secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, as well as his daring style of acting hard, have shrouded this young official with an aura of mystery.

Without any experience at the grassroots level, he inadvertently magically completed the leap from a provincial cadre to a ministry manager, and successfully served as the secretary of the municipal party committee of the provincial capital city in a few years, and became the governor of Hehai, a major economic province, in less than a year, and became the youngest provincial and ministerial-level official in the country. All this was completed in a short period of time, from the department level to the provincial and ministerial level of the triple jump, it only takes five or six years, Qi Tianxiang's career has too many incredible, but also too many magic.

Yao Bingxin envied Qi Tianxiang at the same time, but also knew that he had a force that he did not have, which can be seen more clearly from the handling of the collapse of the roadway of the Shengli Coal Mine. All this shows that Qi Tianxiang can be relied on and can also solve practical problems.

Unexpectedly, in just one day, the situation changed. First, someone called him to intervene, and some people directly instructed the Ministry of Environmental Protection to immediately form an expert investigation team to take over the follow-up investigation and handling of the accident, establish an environmental assessment and operation mechanism, and conduct long-term and long-term monitoring and evaluation of the causes of pollution and accidents, so as to form a perfect linkage effect.

The serious and formal requirements are very direct, fair and normal, showing the concern of the higher authorities and leaders for environmental pollution incidents and people's livelihood, but under the high-sounding rhetoric, there is an ulterior motive. In fact, you don't have to guess deliberately, you can understand the truth that you are trying to cover up under the request, and the real demand.

Under normal circumstances, there should be no such requests and greetings, and the Ministry of Environmental Protection, as a functional department of the State Council, has its own work responsibilities and operating rules, and how to deal with problems that arise in the work is completely a matter of independent decision. But such a solemn request is so solemn, it seems abnormal, this is something worth playing, and it cannot be thought about and dealt with in a normal way according to common sense.

Yao Bingxin knows that this is actually a copy of the handling of the news incident a few years ago, or a continuation, that the follow-up handling of the accident by the Ministry of Environmental Protection can be continued indefinitely with the Tai Chi technique, and in the end it will naturally be over, and this is the result that all parties want.

Those responsible for the accident must be dealt with, and they must be dealt with seriously, and these Hehai provincial governments can do it, and the Ministry of Environmental Protection can also do it. There is no need to deliberately look for the reason, as long as you find out the scapegoat, everything will be fine, and such a scapegoat can be caught casually, but in all resource fields, there is hidden corruption and power-for-money transactions, just catch a batch and deal with it, so that it can also calm the people's anger on environmental pollution, which is both beautiful and practical, but the incident itself does not care too many people, and it is still the same after cooling.

This is the basic routine of dealing with major accidents today, and it has been tried and tested repeatedly, and it has very practical results.

But Yao Bingxin didn't want to do it anymore according to this routine, and he didn't want to be at the mercy of others like a marionette. In the eyes of ordinary people, officials to ministers are already high-ranking and powerful, how many people envy and are unattainable, it stands to reason that they should be able to control their own behavior and thinking, but in fact this is not the case. In the eyes of others, a high-ranking official, in the eyes of some people, is still a small person who can be manipulated at will, and he can become a chess piece in his own chess game, which can be used or discarded according to the needs of the chess game.

Yao Bingxin has had enough of such a situation, he is reluctant to send an investigation team, but he is also irresistible, as a minister, he leads a department, but he can't completely control everything in the department. If he resists or delays, other deputy ministers will do it, and in the name of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, so that he will be passive and likely to be replaced. The person or force that can directly order him to form an investigation team can also influence his fate.

The hard top is not good, and it is not wise, what Yao Bingxin can do is to hand in the problem, use the affiliation in a dignified manner, and reasonably use the rules of the game to alleviate these contradictions. He thought of Vice Premier Huang, an old leader he trusted and relied on, and also a pragmatic leader who was upright and upright, with high prestige and appeal, and was familiar with the laws of economic work, and believed that he could give himself a satisfactory answer.

It seems that Vice Premier Huang is waiting for his phone call and request to meet, and it is difficult to have the time and opportunity to meet Vice Premier Huang unless he makes an appointment in advance. But just before noon, Vice Premier Huang's secretary came back with a phone call, and he would be given 15 minutes after a meeting, and the vice premier would wait in the reception room.

After hurriedly preparing for it, Yao Bingxin rushed to the meeting place, and met Vice Premier Huang at the appointed time on time.

Vice Premier Huang pondered slightly, as if he had already made a plan in his mind, and simply and clearly instructed that the investigation team could be sent and led by Yao Bingxin, indicating an attitude, but there should not be too many personnel, and it should not interfere in the handling of the accident by the Hohai Provincial Government, and it is necessary to believe that Hohai Province has the ability to handle its own affairs, and even more importantly, to believe in Qi Tianxiang's courage and wisdom, to rely on the local government to deal with environmental problems, and to assist the local government in doing a good job in environmental and ecological work. This is the basic principle and the direction that can be developed in the long run.

With Vice Premier Huang's clear instructions, Yao Bingxin felt confident, and when he went back, he determined the personnel of the investigation team, booked air tickets, and a group of five people made the trip and went straight to Guishui County.

Yao Bingxin thought like this, but he listened to Liao Yong's report quietly, and in the eyes of outsiders, he seemed to be listening to the report carefully, but in fact, he was thinking about it in his heart, with a calm expression, holding the idea that what has come is safe, and quietly watching the changes in the situation.

Qi Tianxiang is also the same as Yao Bingxin, on the surface, he is quietly listening to Liao Yong's report, but in fact, he is also very uncalm in his heart, Yao Bingxin's intentions and possible variables are all questions that Qi Tianxiang thinks about. Although Yao Bingxin's statement is very clear and his attitude is very resolute, it is only a superficial thing, and the real intention can only be obtained by careful observation.

The occurrence of such a serious water pollution accident in Guishui County, affecting the production and livelihood of nearly 10 million people in three prefectures and cities, is a big deal for Hohai Province, but it is not a big deal on a national scale. Qi Tianxiang's memory can clearly collect several similar accidents, including a more serious river basin pollution incident than the Hehai accident, and the attitude of the Ministry of Environmental Protection is intriguing, it can intervene in advance, or it can be supervised after the fact, all of which show an attitude and method.

How to deal with simple pollution accidents, are normal procedures and practices, but the pollution of the precious water river is just a phenomenon, involving a more serious chaos of mineral resources, the Ministry of Environmental Protection will not intervene in advance because of water pollution, the purpose is still the big head behind, and Yao Bingxin must also come with a task, which can be seen from the report of housing construction. Yao Bingxin listened very seriously, and his expression was also very serious, but he could also feel it carefully, severe but not excited, especially the statement was very clear, but it was also a posture that must be done.

This point is even more obvious from Liao Yong's report, Yao Bingxin listened carefully, but he didn't listen carefully, so after patiently listening to Liao Yong's report, Qi Tianxiang no longer observed, but looked at Yao Bingxin humbly, and said with a slight smile: "The general situation here in Guishui County, that is, the old Fang and Comrade Liao Yong reported this, the pollution and prevention of the Guishui River into the Qinghe River, when Minister Yao goes to Qinghe City and Hezhong City to investigate, the local government will report to you in detail." What else do you think needs to know? ”

Yao Bingxin knew the meaning of Qi Tianxiang's words, after all, he didn't know very much, many situations and each other's thoughts still needed to be deepened through further communication, so he looked at Qi Tianxiang and said: "What should be listened to is heard, and what should be seen is also seen through aerial pictures, what can be done now is to wait patiently, waiting for more complete monitoring information, in order to make more accurate judgments." Or in accordance with the principle of easy first and then difficult, first urgent and then slow, seize the time to deal with the problem of water pollution and people's livelihood security, and resolve the contradictions in people's lives, is the top priority, and the others can be put aside first, you see? ”

"It's still Minister Yao's rich experience, and one word has the finishing touch." Qi Tianxiang looked at Yao Bingxin and said with a smile, then turned his face to look around at the people present, and after a while, he still said to Yao Bingxin: "I think the top priority now is to open the door seven things, this is a problem that must be solved." ”

Qi Tianxiang's words instantly made Yao Bingxin stunned, and then he understood, he pointed at Qi Tianxiang with a smile, and said with relief: "It's still Governor Qi's thoughtfulness, and his generosity in the face of danger can often surprise us, but I don't know what you, the host, will invite us to eat?" ”

Hearing Yao Bingxin's answer, Qi Tianxiang stood up, modestly motioned for Yao Bingxin to go first, and laughed and teased wittily: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, and you will know when the time comes." ”
