After returning to Yishan County from the scene of the accident in Heiyashan, the State Councilor inspected the Shengli Coal Group, visited the cadres and workers working in the front line, and specially visited the production scheduling and monitoring command room of the Shengli Group to learn about the production situation of several coal mines under the group in real time.

The State Councilor watched the excavation work on the front line of underground production through the big screen, and had a video interaction and phone call with the front-line miners, expressing cordial condolences to the front-line miners, and at the same time asking them to pay attention to safety in production, pay attention to their bodies, and pay attention to protecting themselves.

Subsequently, the State Councilor and his entourage drove deep into the family area of the group to visit the families of the miners, and had a cordial conversation with the cadres of the community and the neighborhood committee to understand their thoughts and practices on community work, and encouraged them to take the miners as the center, conscientiously do a good job in community services, use their work achievements to serve production, and contribute to the operation and development of the group.

The afternoon of inspection work was busy and intense, and when the convoy returned to the Victory Hotel, it was already dark and it was already past dinner time, so it was only a little wash-up before going straight to dinner.

Qi Tianxiang was led by the staff, took a special elevator, took a special passage, and came to the small restaurant, and after entering the room, he found that only Zhang Wanfu and Zhu Shouming were sitting in the room, and when he saw Qi Tianxiang coming in, he hurriedly got up to greet him.

Qi Tianxiang shook hands with the two of them, sat down at the table, and looked at the layout of the small restaurant, compared with the magnificent hotel hall and high-end luxury rooms, the small restaurant seems simple, not only does not have a hospitality area, but also has no sofas and entertainment facilities, and even the dining table and chairs are not very high-end mahogany and other utensils, but very ordinary hardwood, and the tableware on the table is also ordinary porcelain, which is not exquisite, and can not be compared with luxurious bone china. But despite this, the small dining room is simple and elegant, the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and the bonsai and flower arrangements placed in the corner of the house are faintly good.

Qi Tianxiang looked at it slowly, smiling slightly, very surprised by the exquisite layout of the small restaurant, it seems to be a simple layout, but it reveals ingenuity and ingenuity everywhere, in fact, it is just to show a kind of elegance and nobility in the plain, this is the real subtlety, which not only gets rid of the vulgar flashy decoration, but also shows low-key luxury, so that diners can relax physically and mentally, and there will be no pressure of luxury.

This is a kind of ingenuity, but also a kind of cleverness, I believe that there will not be many such small restaurants in the hotel, and those who can enter to eat here will not be ordinary people. Qi Tianxiang looked at Zhu Shouming deeply, knowing that these were his arrangements, and he was also curious about what kind of mystery he had, but he didn't let him see it.

Without allowing Qi Tianxiang to imagine too much, the State Councilor, accompanied by Lin Dongsheng and Tong Anshan, slowly walked into the small restaurant.

After the state councilor shook hands with Qi Tianxiang, Zhang Wanfu and Zhu Shouming, who were waiting, he slowly sat down in the main seat, looked around the layout of the restaurant, nodded and praised: "Yes, such an elegant small restaurant, the environment and layout are good, and it feels like home." ”

The State Councilor's admiration triggered a echo of responses and smiles, and after a pause, the State Councilor looked at Qi Tianxiang and said gently: "Originally, I was going to have a casual dinner with Lao Lin and Anshan, at our age, what we like the most is quiet, and what we can enjoy the most is steamed porridge and simple pickles." It's also a habit I've had for years. I like to be alone, and I prefer the gruel made by my wife. But considering that you have worked so hard for so long, and it is rare to have a break, I can't help but sacrifice my preferences and treat you. ”

As the state councilor spoke, he saw the few dishes that had been neatly arranged, nodded approvingly, picked up the wine glass on the table, looked at the few people at the table, and said with a smile: "Let's raise a glass together and make a toast for your hard work and efforts." ”

Looking at the wine in the glass that everyone had drunk, the State Councilor smiled faintly, waiting for the service staff to fill the wine glass, then picked up the wine glass again, looked at everyone with a little seriousness and said: "This second cup is an encouragement, the first stage has come to an end, and the following work needs to be more patient and meticulous, it needs wisdom, and it is not the time to be happy, I hope you understand this." ”

As the second glass of wine was served, the State Councilor ordered the waiter to serve the meal, smiled at Lin Dongsheng and said, "We old guys can't consume with them, I think we should eat quickly and leave quickly, so as not to affect their enjoyment." ”

As if he was hinted at, Lin Dongsheng responded with a smile: "This is also my idea, but I don't know if you are having fun, according to my meaning, these two glasses of wine should not be drunk." ”

Seeing the two main leaders singing and cooperating in harmony, Qi Tianxiang and Zhang Wanfu had no choice but to accompany the smiling faces, and after the waiter served the staple food, they accompanied the state councilor to eat a little, and then watched the two of them leave the table after eating.

The simple dinner ended in a hurry, and although they did not speak, everyone present knew that the state councilor was going back to the room with Lin Dongsheng to talk, or exchange views, and after a day's inspection, many things needed to be sat down and exchanged.

It is not convenient to say too much here, let alone express a casual statement, the reserve of senior leaders is one thing, and there are many things that need to be communicated individually. This is political experience and practice.

One thing that the State Councilor said is right, we need to have a meal together, there is a sense of compassion and care, but there is not much else to say, what can be said, the closer or similar the level, the more difficult it is to have too much communication and exchange of opinions, either a request, or an instruction, it is difficult to have too many true feelings.

After the State Councilor and Lin Dongsheng left, there was no need to continue the originally dull dinner, just like the State Councilor didn't have much to say to communicate with everyone, Qi Tianxiang and Tong Anshan, as well as Zhu Shouming, there was no desire to communicate.

After leaving the small restaurant, Qi Tianxiang and Zhang Wanfu and Zhu Shouming sent Tong Anshan back to the room, and they each returned to their own rooms, there is no communication is one aspect, and the other layer of obscure meaning is difficult for anyone to say, that is, with the exchange between the State Councilor and Lin Dongsheng, the State Councilor and Tong Anshan, Lin Dongsheng and Qi Tianxiang, as well as Lin Dongsheng and Zhang Wanfu, Qi Tianxiang and Zhou Tong, Zhu Shouming and Liang Zhixin, many possible private exchanges can happen at any time, seemingly ordinary nights, but the implication is not ordinary, Or that it shouldn't be ordinary and bland.

These are very clear to Qi Tianxiang, from the high to the state councilor, the secretary of the provincial party committee, to the county magistrate, the secretary of the county party committee, all gathered in a small Yishan County, all concentrated in the Victory Hotel, it is destined to be not a simple matter, and it is destined to be impossible to be simple.
