Although Qi Tianxiang said this, it was just a gesture, it was impossible for Qi Tianxiang and others to stand downstairs and wait for a long time, after communication, after determining the approximate location of Yao Bingxin and his party, according to the time calculation, it was basically about to arrive, and the staff notified Qi Tianxiang that they went downstairs to wait, that is, after standing downstairs for a few minutes, the police car guided Yao Bingxin and the medium-sized bus they were riding into the compound, and slowly stopped near Qi Tianxiang and the greeter.

As soon as the medium-sized bus stopped, Minister Yao Bingxin quickly got out of the car, strode towards Qi Tianxiang, stretched out his hands as he walked, and said to Qi Tianxiang with a smile: "Governor Qi personally greets you, how embarrassing is this, it's over, it's over!" ”

"What are you talking about, Minister Yao Kurama Tired, how can you not wait?" Seeing Yao Bingxin stretch out his hands, Qi Tianxiang also stretched out his hands to shake each other, held them tightly and shook them sharply, and said with a smile on his face: "It's all rude, Minister Yao came to Hehai for the first time to guide the work, I should make a special trip to Shanyin Airport to greet him, but the minister didn't give me this opportunity, and only reported before boarding the plane, which caught us off guard!" ”

Yao Bingxin took Qi Tianxiang's hand for a long time before letting go, and responded with a bold smile: "I know that you Governor Qi wants to provoke, not only did you take care of it, but even I didn't expect to come." When something like this happens, we fully believe in the ability of the Hohai Provincial Government to deal with things, and we just need to wait patiently for the results. It was Vice Premier Huang who designated me to come over and have a look, and he clearly instructed me to watch and listen more, and rely on the strength of the Hohai Provincial Government and Governor Qi to successfully handle this emergency and ensure people's livelihood. That's why I made this trip to the river and the sea, and I was also a light car, just the five of us came over, listened with ears, and then went back with my mouth to report. ”

"Thank you Vice Premier Huang and Minister Yao for your trust, and I also hope that Minister Yao will send auspiciousness to the realm first, and then go to heaven to say good things, we are very happy." Qi Tianxiang knew what Yao Bingxin wanted to express, so he responded wittily, and then pointed to a few people behind him, and said with a smile to Yao Bingxin: "Let me introduce my colleagues to the minister, especially these two chief officers of the Armed Police Corps." ”

Qi Tianxiang spoke, and seriously introduced Wang Ping and Liao Yong to Yao Bingxin, and then Zhou Tong and Mao Zhigang. ”

Yao Bingxin shook hands with Wang Ping, Liao Yong, Zhou Tong, and Mao Zhigang warmly one by one, and then shook hands with Fang Jianjian, and said with a smile to Qi Tianxiang: "It's still Governor Qi, your Hehai Province is generous, let go of our environmental protection department to exercise its powers in accordance with the law, and there are still not many other provinces with such support, and I am deeply grateful." The director of the room is a capable person, I have heard for a long time, this time to preside over the accident handling, I believe that it can live up to expectations and have a good result. ”

Yao Bingxin thanked him, turned to Qi Tianxiang to introduce a few of the people he brought, a total of two directors, two attachés, Qi Tianxiang warmly shook hands one by one to welcome, and then turned to Yao Bingxin, solemnly asked him to go first, Yao Bingxin refused to take the lead, and finally the two of them held hands, smiled and walked up the steps side by side, and walked into the hotel hall.

Qi Tianxiang showed enthusiasm and generosity, and he was also very modest and polite, Yao Bingxin also kept a low profile and friendliness moderately, and the embarrassment and unfamiliarity of the first meeting came to naught in the mutual humility and mutual concession between the two. In the eyes of outsiders, it seems that the two have known each other for a long time, and have dealt with each other many times, but in fact, the real situation is that this is the first time the two have met, and they have never been in contact before, but both of them have behaved very well, using each other's political wisdom to make the first meeting perfect.

In fact, whether it is in Beijing or at the grassroots level, the performance of these ministers is very subtle, except for the ministers of the National Development and Reform Commission, finance, transportation, land and other strong departments, with strong personal will, most of the ministers or directors of functional departments will have some personal personalities and ways of doing things, but basically they are still low-key and modest.

In dealing with local officials, especially the top leaders of provincial and municipal party committees and governments, he is very tactful and flexible, or full of political wisdom. On the one hand, the subordinate units under the direct management are on the territory of other people, and the funds and work need the support and assistance of the local government, and the attitude of the minister directly or indirectly has an impact on the development of grassroots work. On the other hand, these provincial and municipal leaders may one day become their colleagues or superiors, and they are also likely to be parachuted into local posts, leaving room for practical use, and once they are embarrassed to meet in the future, it will be difficult to turn into a meeting.

This is only some superficial factors, and to explain Yao Bingxin's behavior at the beginning of getting off the bus at a deeper level, the most reasonable statement is that Yao Bingxin's trip came with a mission, and this mission can come from both duty and other aspects. This is Qi Tianxiang can obviously feel, it has been two days since the water pollution incident occurred, according to the normal response or treatment mechanism, such a major environmental pollution accident, as the Ministry of Environmental Protection in charge of environmental protection, it is impossible not to have an attitude, and the provincial environmental protection department does not dare to conceal and not report. The fact that there has been no movement for two days speaks for itself.

Perhaps, as Yao Bingxin said, the ministry is not ready to intervene, and let the Hehai Provincial Government have full authority to deal with this matter, and the ministry will just pay attention to or inquire about the results at the appropriate time. The beauty of this kind of cold treatment is that, on the one hand, it gives face to the government of Zuhehai Province, because such a major environmental pollution incident, according to the requirements, must be held accountable, and the nature and result are different from the first time to participate or after a period of time. The Ministry of Environmental Protection knows this, and Qi Tianxiang understands it even more.

Not being held accountable means supporting and helping, this is the de facto rule of the game, which is applicable in society and is of great significance in officialdom.

On the other hand, it may be more telling that the Ministry of Environmental Protection knows the internal causes of the accident and also knows the thorniness and difficulties in handling the accident, and is unwilling to intervene and cause trouble.

Both factors are possible, and the latter is most likely. This is Qi Tianxiang's preliminary judgment, and it is also a speculation based on Yao Bingxin's qualifications and experience. Since listening to the report on the construction of the house, Qi Tianxiang has had such a guess, although it is only a subconscious feeling, but he has always been firmly verified.

Yao Bingxin has also reached the age of nearly sixty, and his qualifications and resume are very rich and excellent, which can be said to be a big book. Ancestral home in the south of the Yangtze River fish and rice town, senior intellectual family growth and edification, in the early years to go to the mountains and countryside to the Great Northern Wilderness to settle down, in the white mountains and black soil to receive poor middle peasant re-education, one work is five years, joined the party to work, become a red and professional model of educated youth. After resuming the college entrance examination, he became the first batch of college students, and after graduation, he was assigned to work in a large enterprise in the old industrial base in Northeast China, starting as a workshop technician, step by step into the leadership position of the enterprise, and at the age of 35, he became the head of a large state-owned enterprise and entered the ranks of cadres at the level of the ministry and management department. Then devoted himself to the official career, from the black soil of the northeast to the southern water town, became the mayor of the first batch of key cities in the country's reform and opening up experimental field, continued to vigorously expand the spiritual essence of reform and opening up, and made the bridgehead more powerful and energetic in a few years, and also entered Beijing for the first time with outstanding political achievements, became the vice minister of important ministries and commissions of the State Council, and completed the first leap from the local to the central government.

After a few years as a vice minister, Yao Bingxin not only exercised his adaptability, but also accumulated sufficient high-level work experience, especially his qualifications, and immediately began the second leap in his life. From the vice minister directly parachuted into a northwestern province to serve as deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and acting governor, there was no transition, let alone a buffer, and it was done in one step. Since then, we have begun to cultivate and pioneer in the northwest, reward, transform and upgrade of emerging industrial bases, state-owned enterprises, sand fixation and greening to protect the environment, and have made many achievements that have been appreciated by the central leaders, and also made the name of the doer more stable.

Perhaps it is the measures and actions in environmental protection that have attracted more attention, and Yao Bingxin, after making great achievements in the position of governor, once again entered Beijing to serve as the new minister of environmental protection, becoming one of the few practical ministers.

In the past few years since he took office, Yao Bingxin has repeatedly made new moves in promoting environmental protection work, and the work of environmental protection has not only mobilized the enthusiasm of the news media, but also stimulated the enthusiasm of non-governmental organizations to devote themselves to environmental protection and public welfare undertakings, and has played a very good role in improving legislation and supervision. As a minister, Yao Bingxin not only builds momentum for environmental protection work on various occasions, but also does a lot of pioneering work and has a good reputation.

Now Yao Bingxin is in a very delicate position, his age has reached a critical line, he can work for a few more years in the last step, and the next step may be to retreat in the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, which can be described as a critical period. If you want to continue to make progress, you have to make up for the shortcomings of not serving as the secretary of the local provincial party committee, which takes time and opportunity, there are always rumors around Yao Bingxin's going and staying, and it once became a hot spot, saying that he wanted to serve as the secretary of the provincial party committee of a new province, but he never made the trip, but it is certain that as a minister with sufficient practical experience and pragmatic pioneering spirit, it is impossible for the person who has received the attention of the leaders of the Central Committee and the State Council to end his political career, and it is not the moment of the final curtain call.
