"I heard that Governor Qi smells the chicken and dances every day and goes to work early, I still don't believe it, what I saw today is really true." As soon as Qi Tianxiang entered the office, Liu Xiaoping followed, and said modestly as he walked: "I'm here uninvited, and I hope the governor won't blame me, let alone turn me away!" ”

Seeing Liu Xiaoping's pretended sincerity and fear, Qi Tianxiang hurriedly came out from behind the desk, and also joked: "This has already entered the door, how can you refuse to go out, it is difficult to sweep the floor and go out, but where can I find a broom that can sweep more than 100 catties of living people?" ”

Qi Tianxiang spoke, stretched out his hand to shake Liu Xiaoping, and kept pulling it to the sofa and sat down, looking at Liu Xiaoping up and down, and asked with interest: "Say that I smell the chicken and dance, then what is it that you came from the Nanjiao Hotel during this time period?" Could it be an all-nighter? ”

"The governor is not bureaucratic, although I, Liu Xiaoping, have no fixed place to live in Hehai Province, I am not the only one in the Nanjiao Hotel where I can live!" Liu Xiaoping seemed to enjoy this relaxed and cheerful atmosphere, and also tried to create such a context, so he continued: "It's not enough to stay up all night, I'm not so busy, but I was a little late to read the documents last night, so I didn't bother to go back to the hotel, so I slept in the office for a night." ”

Liu Xiaoping got up and took the tea water made by Qi Tianxiang himself, and said with a smile and mysteriously: "I have to taste the fragrant tea made by the governor himself to see if I can drink the taste of Guzhang Maojian." ”

"Guzhang Maojian has it, can it be compared to the Junshan silver needle in your hometown? That's the best of the eight famous teas! Qi Tianxiang looked at Liu Xiaoping vigilantly, it was only a few days, and his conversation with Lin Dongsheng reached his ears, which showed the speed of transmission, but at this moment Qi Tianxiang did not have time to consider the source, but smiled faintly and teased: "If you don't invite me to drink, I can invite you to drink, and I can also invite you, this Fang family product, how big is the gap between my Junshan Silver Needle and your top rare tea." ”

Liu Xiaoping heard the implicit meaning of Qi Tianxiang's words, and also keenly saw that Qi Tianxiang had aroused vigilance, so he picked up the teacup and looked at the soup color, took a sip, smacked the taste in his mouth, and said slowly after a long time: "The glass cup makes tea, the silver needles stand tall, the soup color is yellow and green, it is the method of authentic Junshan silver needles, and the tea taste is also Zhouzheng, which is not bad." However, with the classification standards of your hometown before the Maojian rain and before the Ming Dynasty, your tea should obviously belong to the post-Ming and pre-Ming periods, but it is also a good tea. ”

Liu Xiaoping spoke, met Qi Tianxiang's gaze and smiled generously: "Of course, compared with the tea I can drink, the gap is really not a little. There is such a big deputy ministerial-level deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission in his hometown, and he is in a high position, so people can't deliberately take care of it? What's more, it's just a bag of tea, which can be tens of thousands of yuan a catty, or more expensive, but it's basically just a bag of leaves, so this is the reason why Ya bribe can't count the standard. How much is a bag of tea, or a piece of jade, or a famous calligraphy and painting? Is it according to its own value? Or according to the market price? There are no certain rules, and it is not easy to prevent them, but whether it is to the person who sends it or the person who receives it, it is tacit and knowing. ”

"But for you, the governor of Qida, who is as clear as water and as a mirror, and the former secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, I don't dare to throw moths into the fire, and I am bored. Where do I have good tea, and there are so many varieties and all kinds of tea, you may not even think of it. Liu Xiaoping didn't seem to want to end such a topic, and still said slowly: "But my good tea is only for friends with the right temper, and it is only for guests in Beijing, and other occasions are kept secret." What do you think? Accompany me to Beijing? ”

"I don't have that skill!" Qi Tianxiang let out a long sigh, smiled slightly and seemed to say helplessly to Liu Xiaoping: "For more than half a year, I have been like a firefighter, fighting fires at the beginning of the year, dealing with mining disasters next, and then dealing with environmental and ecological damage. ”

Liu Xiaoping listened to Qi Tianxiang's complaints with a smile, and said meaningfully and implicitly: "The so-called water comes naturally, kung fu is outside the poem, no time is not a reason, and busyness is not an excuse, everyone is busy creating an atmosphere, can't you personally care about the approval and progress of the Beijing project?" Can't you just retreat and relax? If you have to carry out any institutional reform, you can eat all over the world with one trick, but it is not impossible to eat and be difficult to digest, you are only a deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and governor, what are you in a hurry? ”

Liu Xiaoping's words were sincere, but also contained deep irony, Qi Tianxiang not only understood it, but also felt warm from the heart.

Liu Xiaoping sang the opposite tone at yesterday's meeting, and he realized that Liu Xiaoping had a deep intention, and he didn't have time to think about it at the time, today it was Liu Xiaoping who came to the door, even if he didn't come to him, Qi Tianxiang would have a good chat with Liu Xiaoping. After all, Liu Xiaoping has been in and out of high-level organs in Beijing for a long time, and there are many sources and channels, some of which Qi Tianxiang cannot completely get, but he can easily get it, and it is also very authoritative.

Liu Xiaoping's hint is clear, and without naming Qi Tianxiang, it is clear who brought the news to Beijing. Lin Dongsheng's conversation with himself was only a few days, and only Secretary General Qin Liang and Lin Dongsheng's secretary Xiao Li were present at that time, and Xiao Li was not in Lin Dongsheng's office the whole time, the news would not be passed on by Lin Dongsheng to the outside world, but also to his opponent, Qin Liang would not leak the news, because such news was purely harmful to others, and there was no benefit.

Moreover, no more people have received such news, and even the vice governors who attended the governor's office meeting yesterday are not clear, so it can be seen that the news was heard by Liu Xiaoping in Beijing, and it is only limited to the level of Beijing, and the purpose may not be to do anything, but to express concern and curiosity, so there is no need to send it back to Hohai Province.

"You don't have to think hard about guessing, the wall is often not outside, but inside, it's better to build your own fence than anything else." Liu Xiaoping read the doubts and incomprehension from Qi Tianxiang's grim expression, so he persuaded and said: "The purpose of people is not to focus on the position under your buttocks, but on which side, but it is not ruled out that you may take advantage of the flaws you have exposed." ”

Qi Tianxiang looked at Liu Xiaoping, looked at him deeply, and did not continue the topic, but asked slowly: "It's been a few days since I came back, are you preparing to leave?" When are you ready to go? ”

"It will take a few days, and I am not going back to Beijing directly, I am going to go to Shuguang Factory with Lao Wang first." Liu Xiaoping knew that Qi Tianxiang was reluctant to discuss this topic, and the purpose of his coming, in addition to explaining the reason for yesterday, also wanted to talk about the project, "The vehicle engines of the Shuguang Factory, especially the off-road vehicles of military trial production, have passed the certification and audit of the Automobile Industry Association, and now they want to strive for more funds for the pure electric engine and high-power engine project." In addition, their cooperation with the island city shipbuilding, if it can enter the final implementation stage, there will be a vehicle mass production capacity, so it is necessary to re-evaluate the asset efficiency, I plan to take a look at it with Lao Wang, and I would like to invite some department leaders, as well as industry experts to come and take a look, and push it on the spot. ”

"It would be great if it could be like that." Qi Tianxiang's eyes lit up, and he looked at Liu Xiaoping seriously and said: "The matter of Shuguang Factory not only involves the finalization and upgrading of the engine for vehicles in our province, nor is it just a matter of Shuguang Factory, but also involves the development of shipbuilding, light rail trains, urban rail transit, and new energy vehicles, which can form a new industrial belt and growth pole." ”

Qi Tianxiang took a breath of change, calmed down a little, and then said: "We have engine research and development advantages, equipment manufacturing strengths, but our vehicle production capacity has always been a short board, if your brother can contribute to this, the merit is undoubtedly huge, it can really be a monument for you." ”

"As soon as you talk about the construction of Shuguang Factory and state-owned enterprise clusters, your excitement will come, don't be too happy, it's grandpa or milk, and it depends on whether the big meal we prepare meets the appetite of which experts." Liu Xiaoping was very encouraged by Qi Tianxiang's emotions and had a deep sense of accomplishment, but he didn't want to talk too much, let alone pack the ticket, so he stood up and said with a smile: "Let's talk while walking!" I try my best. I won't delay your time anymore, I'll go over with Lao Wang in the morning, and I'll communicate with you if there is any situation! ”

Liu Xiaoping spoke, accompanied by Qi Tianxiang, and walked slowly towards the door, but after taking a few steps, he seemed to remember something, stopped and said: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, you really have to take time to walk around Beijing, and some situations still need you to explain in person, even if you don't explain, it is always necessary to brush up." ”

As if feeling unsatisfied, Liu Xiaoping then said seriously: "In all fairness, it is in line with the spirit of the Central Committee to carry out institutional reform at this time, your thinking is right, but you need to demonstrate and plan in detail, do you need me to introduce a few experts to you?" Can I help you with design? ”

"Forget it, isn't the person standing in front of you an expert who is well-known from theory to practice?" Qi Tianxiang affectionately reached out and gently slapped Liu Xiaoping's back, and said with a smile: "Busy with your own business!" Pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and it is better to be more leisurely than anything else. ”

Liu Xiaoping laughed, Qi Tianxiang's movements were very useful, so he waved his hand to Qi Tianxiang and said, "Don't worry!" I won't do anything else, just combine work and rest with my best skills, or you should be careful! Let's go. ”

Qi Tianxiang opened the door for Liu Xiaoping, sent him to the door, and saw him walk into the elevator, so he waved goodbye to him with a smile, and then slowly turned around and walked back to the office.
