Qi Tianxiang, accompanied by Xiao Zhang, walked out of the elevator, Secretary General Li Guoqiang was standing at the elevator entrance waiting. Qi Tianxiang felt a little surprised, and suddenly a little uneasy, but he still smiled and nodded, and politely stretched out his hand to shake Li Guoqiang, which was regarded as a greeting. [Ran^Text^Library] []

Walking through the corridor with Li Guoqiang and walking to the room at the very end, Li Guoqiang opened the door first, and then took a step back neatly, waiting for Qi Tianxiang to advance.

Qi Tianxiang glanced at Li Guoqiang deeply, knowing that this was his habitual action, and felt slightly uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything and walked into the room first.

I imagined the office of the secretary of the municipal party committee, and I have made countless comparisons with my own office in my heart, but at first sight, Qi Tianxiang was still secretly taken aback. I saw a space equivalent to a medium-sized conference room, neatly separated by different areas. Because it is the top of the corridor, it can be said that the position at the end of the corridor is completely occupied, with the door as the center, the rooms on both sides become a whole, one side is the office area, there is a wide one-piece desk, behind it is a bookshelf around the half circle, behind the desk is placed an equally wide high-back swivel chair, corresponding to a row of back chairs in front of the desk, and there are several classical sofas on the wall near the door. The other area is the sitting area, where four large sets of classical leather sofas form a relatively enclosed area, with several coffee tables in the middle. Near the wall are several closed doors, presumably lounges, bathrooms and the like. The transition between the office and reception areas is separated by pots of pothos and other plants, behind which is a tall fish tank with several tropical golden dragons swimming freely.

All areas are separated from the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, the whole glass seems to have no window frames and seams, and the sunlight outside the windows diffuses unscrupulously, making the whole room seem to be soothed by the sun.

Qi Tianxiang didn't speak, slowly walked to the office area, looked at it fixedly for a moment, and turned the swivel chair casually. He walked past the isolated green plants, looked at the green pothos, and stared at the golden dragon in the fish tank with great interest for a while. Walking slowly to the floor-to-ceiling windows, I watched the shadowy traffic downstairs and the pedestrians passing by from time to time. Then he slowly walked to the reception area, patted the leather sofa gently, and turned his face for a long time, looking at Li Guoqiang and Xiao Zhang who were standing not far away, looking at it steadily, the expression on his face gradually changed from calm to solemn, but he never said a word.

It should be said that Qi Tianxiang has psychological expectations and is also mentally prepared, from Lin Dongsheng's office, he thought of Tian Weiren's sky garden of Hezhou Heavy Machinery Group, and thought of his own office of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, his heart was full of shock and contradictions. If you talk about luxury, Tian Weiren's sky garden has reached the top of the line in terms of utensils and facilities, and the sofas or desks here, as well as high-back chairs, although they are also high-end leather, are still not in the same class. If it is big, the reception area of Lin Dongsheng's office is equipped with a group of conference tables, which can hold the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee at any time, and the usual place for conversation is only an area surrounded by two sets of sofas. In the office of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, it can be said that it is the largest one of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, but it is only a few more bookshelves, and there is a set of sofas to use when resting or talking. Therefore, it is difficult to find a suitable explanation and comparison no matter how much you compare, and even the mood of speaking becomes blurred.

"How many offices like this are there in this building?" Qi Tianxiang looked at Li Guoqiang, who was wooden, knowing that if he didn't speak, he wouldn't be the first to speak, so he had to break the deadlock and asked slowly: "How big does this have to be?" ”

"There's another one at the end of the corridor over there, Mayor Fang's office." Li Guoqiang understood the intention of Qi Tianxiang's question, since he entered the door, Li Guoqiang's eyes did not leave his body for a moment, and his seemingly unintentional movements and expressions were caught by Li Guoqiang. But at this moment, facing the eyes of the new secretary, even if he has a lot to say, he can only swallow it in his stomach, and all he can do is answer truthfully, maybe this can satisfy Qi Tianxiang. So he went on to add: "If you count the other rooms, there are about more than 300 square meters, in fact, this used to be a media release center, two press conference halls in the north and south, and later when I moved here, I was also going to make it a cadre activity center, but because the city government moved over early, the mayor of the north hall used it, so it had to be like this." Secretary Long is also not very satisfied, he thinks that this place is too big, space, and he usually works in the provincial party committee, so he doesn't come here much. ”

"It's good to get a cadre activity center, besides, the light here is so good, it's not bad to get a flower room!" Qi Tianxiang said with emotion, looked around at the furnishings in the room, and said casually: "Move all these flowers and grasses, as well as those precious golden dragons, I don't know much about these, and I'm afraid that if I don't do it well, I will spoil these good things." ”

As he spoke, Qi Tianxiang's eyes looked at Li Guoqiang fixedly, and said gently: "Let's change this place into a small conference room!" Find me another room, I like to work quietly at night, such an empty room, it's hard to be calm. ”

Li Guoqiang looked at Qi Tianxiang silently and nodded silently, but he was quickly thinking about the suitability of the house and how to furnish it. Qi Tianxiang's seemingly casual words, but he has irreversible majesty, as the secretary general who has served several secretaries of the municipal party committee, he understands this very well, and he is fully mentally prepared.

"Besides, there's something else I'd like to tell you." Qi Tianxiang looked at Li Guoqiang, smiled slightly, and said as tactfully as possible: "You are an old man of the municipal party committee, and we will work together for a long time in the future, so let's forget about the red tape that we are ushering in!" Blame the trouble, you see! ”

Li Guoqiang heard Qi Tianxiang say something solemnly, his nerves immediately tensed, waiting for him to say what he thought in his heart, and suddenly felt a little more relaxed, although he didn't know Qi Tianxiang's true intentions, but he couldn't help but admire Qi Tianxiang's way of speaking, as well as his skills without a trace, so he smiled and said: "Secretary Qi, you are thoughtful, just do it according to your requirements, I will let someone arrange your office, you take a rest first, I will be fine immediately." ”

"I'm not resting here, I'll just sit in the conference room for a while, anyway, the Standing Committee will be held later."

After Qi Tianxiang finished speaking, he seemed to be asking for Li Guoqiang's opinion, but he had already taken a step, slowly walked out of the office, and walked towards the corridor.

Seeing Qi Tianxiang's determined behavior, Li Guoqiang had no choice but to follow quickly, still one step ahead, opened the door of the small conference room, and asked Qi Tianxiang to walk in first.

It's a small conference room, but it's not small. A circular conference table is placed in the center of the room, with greenery in the middle of the room, several high-backed leather chairs on the side of the conference table, and a row of chairs on the side of the window, which appears to be temporary seating for an enlarged meeting.

Qi Tianxiang walked to the chair at the top and sat down, glanced at his watch, turned his face to Li Guoqiang and said, "It's almost time, I'll sit here for a while, you go get busy first!" ”

Li Guoqiang nodded and turned to leave, Qi Tianxiang took out his mobile phone, glanced at it and turned it off, it will be a standing committee in a while, it is better not to have any interference. Thinking of the Standing Committee, Qi Tianxiang's mind immediately turned to the upcoming meeting, and he subconsciously sorted out the issues that would be said. This is his habit for many years, and this is the case when teaching at the college, always sorting out the key issues before the lecture, the places that need to be paid attention to, and the possible situations must be read clearly in advance. This is not only a way to understand, but it is also a form of respect for the audience, whether it is a student, a colleague or a subordinate, and it cannot be rushed.

A few issues that need to be talked about were quickly filtered through. As a matter of fact, I also understand that today's Standing Committee is still mainly based on meetings, and the Standing Committee members get to know each other, and important issues will not be discussed at this meeting, nor will they be involved. Thinking of the Standing Committee members, Qi Tianxiang's eyes couldn't help but look around the oval conference table and the twelve high-backed chairs around the conference table, and began to ponder the seats and the people in the seats in his heart.

There are 13 members of the Standing Committee of the Hezhou Municipal Party Committee, in addition to the party and government positions and a deputy secretary, an executive deputy mayor, the deputy director of the city, the chairman of the CPPCC, the organization, publicity, the Commission for Discipline Inspection, the ministers, secretaries of politics and law, as well as the secretary general of the municipal party committee, as well as the political commissar of the military sub-district, covering all departments of the city's party, government and military groups, and it is also a balanced and satisfactory result for all parties.

Sitting closest to his left and right hands, should be the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, mayor Fang Jianshe and deputy secretary of the municipal party committee Fan Tao, Fang Jianshe has seen yesterday, aggressive eagerness and character, all show full of self-confidence and conceit, it seems that all the current economic achievements of Hezhou City come from his leadership. In this way, it is not difficult to deal with the opponent of the bright horse and flying spear, and satisfying his vanity or properly pumping his primer can make him die down, and the city's economic work is full of problems, and it is not difficult to find such a handle or weakness, so it is not a very urgent matter.

Fan Tao, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, is very intriguing, Qi Tianxiang does not know him very well, many years of work experience in the party committee, starting from the grassroots organization department, both as the secretary general of the municipal party committee, and as the head of the organization department, after becoming the deputy secretary, he has been managing the organization department all year round, it can be said that many current cadres at the department level have been inspected and appointed by him. He is also a cadre born and raised in Hezhou, and he has deep connections up and down, forming many intertwined relationships, and decades of experience have created his temperament and irritation, and he does not know his preferences, let alone his tendencies, which is the most difficult problem. But there are still obvious shortcomings, that is, the age is close to the edge of retreating, and there will be no higher political intentions, and Shoucheng may be his most urgent knot at present, and being able to survive this year safely and land smoothly is probably the result he hopes to see the most. At this time, if you can communicate and balance effectively and reach some kind of tacit understanding, you must still be able to form allies.

The two who came down are Xu Dacheng, deputy director of the CPPCC and Wang Quanshui, chairman of the CPPCC, one is the original deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, and the other is the executive deputy mayor. The experience of retreating to the background for a few years has made the two of them very aware of their situation and true state, as long as they do not touch their vital interests, they will generally not be sideways and desperately fight each other, this should be a force that can be fought for, and Xu Dacheng has a lot of contact and intersection with Qi Tianxiang in the post of deputy secretary, and has a certain emotional foundation, as long as he can give enough respect, there is no problem in obtaining the necessary support. Although Wang Quanshui is not as familiar as Xu Dacheng, judging from the actual situation of his tenure in the government, he is not only pragmatic, but also has a lot of complaints and resistance to ignoring the development of the real economy and simply focusing on the land economy and the urban construction economy like the Great Leap Forward, so he is very unwilling, but he has been appreciated and praised by Lin Dongsheng, but he has still been squeezed out of the power center. If he can give full play to his advantages in the industrial economy, it may still be a good helping factor.

Qi Tianxiang's eyes continued to scan into the distance, and he seemed to see a majestic mountain, in fact, it was a man like a mountain - Executive Deputy Mayor Lu Shanzun, a former soldier, a cadre who aided Tibet, a basketball star, a talent, a series of labels were attached to him alone, thinking of him Qi Tianxiang's heart couldn't help but ache faintly, and unconsciously thought of Bai Fengshou, thinking of their same experience and different lives. The same demobilized soldiers, the same cadres who aid Tibet, the difference is that the experience is similar, but the results of interpretation are very different, Bai Fengshou's aid to Tibet is forced to be helpless, or righteous indignation, while his aid to Tibet is a real attachment and love, and it is actively requested. In recent years, with the acceleration of the process of specialization of the armed forces and the in-depth development of local economic construction, high-tech and highly educated personnel have gradually occupied the stage of government departments, and military cadres with excellent quality, excellent work style, and simple and diligent work have become scarce talents in the personnel training system of the armed forces, and they are not a characteristic valued by the localities. Lu Shanzun should be an exception, he was in Tibet when he was a soldier, and after graduating from the military academy, he still asked to return to Tibet, worked at the grassroots level for more than ten years, and repeatedly applied to participate in aid to Tibet after the deputy regimental post was transferred to another job, and resolutely asked to go to the remote western Tibet area to be the secretary of the county party committee, and after he returned, he did not do party work, and still asked to start as a street director. The stubbornness of the character is only one aspect, the tall and mighty appearance is also an important factor, the height of nearly two meters, the burly and handsome appearance, the hearty and sunny personality, whether it is on the basketball court, or in public, are the focus of attention. In addition, under his masculine appearance, there is another tenderness and inner show, not only likes to dance and write, but also has reached a considerable level, not only a member of the National Writers Association, but also a director of the provincial and municipal writers associations, in addition to normal writing, but also interact with a group of young people on the Internet, very popular. Although Qi Tianxiang did not have much contact with him, he liked his pragmatism and simplicity very much, as well as the slight nervousness of the literati, and believed that as long as he fully relied on and trusted him, even if he could not become a friend, it was still possible to become a partner.

Thinking like this, Qi Tianxiang gradually fell into a state of concentration, and he actually forgot the time, so that the door of the conference room reopened, which interrupted his thoughts.

Qi Tianxiang didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly stood up and shook hands with the Standing Committee members who came in. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the wall clock on the wall casually, less than nine o'clock, the last minute was reserved for the secretary of the municipal party committee, that is, for himself, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart, if it wasn't for Li Guoqiang greeting outside, there was some kind of tacit understanding. It seems that every member of the Standing Committee of today's Standing Committee cares very much, at least on the surface, it shows such an attention, which is not only a respect for the new secretary, but also seems to imply that the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee can gather into a kind of strength, a kind of overwhelming majority at any time, Qi Tianxiang can't help but secretly cheer up.

The Standing Committee members sat down according to their respective seats one after another, and finally sat down at the top of the conference table, Li Guoqiang, looked at Qi Tianxiang at the other end with a smile, and asked softly: "Secretary Qi, everyone is here, can we start?" ”

Qi Tianxiang nodded in response, Wen Xu's eyes looked around at the Standing Committee members, one by one, and then everyone's eyes, smiling slightly, as if he was facing Li Guoqiang, and seemed to say to the Standing Committee members: "I don't think it's time to start in a hurry, let's get to know each other first, we met in a hurry yesterday, and I didn't have a chance to say a few words to everyone." In fact, we all know each other here, and no one will be wrong by name, but in the future, it is better to stir it in a big pot to deepen some impressions. ”

As he spoke, Qi Tianxiang stood up and said with a smile: "I'll turn clockwise, starting with Mayor Fang, and finally ending with Secretary Fan, Secretary Fan is more forgiving, and more understanding where you are slow!" ”
