The end of the year is approaching, and there is already a strong flavor of the year.

In the traditional sense of the lunar calendar, entering the wax moon, it seems that the placket of the Spring Festival has been touched, and the veil of the festival is not lifted in time, just to give a calm day an expectation, or a thick precipitated atmosphere.

That is, after entering the wax moon, time becomes urgent and tight, and every day seems to remind people who are leisurely in winter, and the distance between the busy days of spring planting and autumn harvest in the new year also has a significant reminder. The expectation of the festival of the traditional farming civilization is inseparable from the season of the earth, and the joy of the festival is just a comfort for busy work, and there is an excuse to relax and relax. Family reunions, or village carnivals, have a strong regional color, with strong regional characteristics. The festivals in the north and south also have different seasonal characteristics, and in a sense, the existence of the festival has a certain sense of convergence and command, and it is also a form of expression of cohesion and tradition.

This is the case of the Spring Festival, the most important festival of the year, with the beginning of the yuan, but also has the meaning of the mobilization order, compared with the year era of the Western calendar, the centripetal force of traditional culture is stronger. Although the agricultural civilization has been replaced by modern industrial civilization, and the traditional meaning of winter leisure no longer exists, the Spring Festival is still the most meaningful and meaningful festival in the traditional Chinese culture and people's memory.

As an important node, although the Spring Festival is getting closer and closer, as the government and various groups in society, it is not too much to look forward to, on the contrary, it is a kind of interference and impact on the overall work. After New Year's Day, a lot of continuation and connection work should be properly arranged before the Spring Festival holiday, so as not to bring any adverse impact due to the Spring Festival holiday. Although such influences are present every year, the necessary preparations are being made every year.

For a period of time before and after New Year's Day, statistics, planning, summarization, and other tedious and complicated things made Qi Tianxiang always in a hurry, and it seemed that there were always endless reports, endless meetings, meetings of the municipal party committee, municipal government, departments and agencies, as well as meetings of the provincial party committee, provincial government or organs. This is also Qi Tianxiang has never experienced the hectic, the memories or experiences of the past busy, are based on a department or unit, this New Year's Day is his first time as the main leader of a city, all the things are at a time node, concentrated in him, need his instructions and opinions, or just need him to know.

Although there is a potential handover of work in the early stage, many things are in fact no longer asked by Qi Tianxiang, or no longer play a substantive role, but the necessary procedures and cutscenes are still unavoidable. Things in Hezhou City are easier to do, there was originally an intention to hand over, Qi Tianxiang and Lu Shanzun have been with each other recently, which shows the meaning of this handover and connection, in fact, it is the transmission, and it is precisely because of these unspeakable reasons that some activities in the province are also inviting Qi Tianxiang to participate intentionally or unintentionally for various reasons, in fact, it is more of an intersection and cohesion of the intention, which makes it busy at the same time, there are more subtle meanings in it.

Qi Tianxiang tried his best to deal with it, adapting to this kind of hecticism, judging the urgency and relationship of things, determining the degree of his participation, it seems that it is also between this choice and balance, intentionally or unintentionally exercising his ability to grasp the overall situation, this time the preparation time is much more abundant, unlike the panic and helplessness when he was the secretary of the municipal party committee, he also knows that the comparability between the two is not the same, but he still subconsciously compares, and there is often an inexplicable impulse in his heart, or expectation, It's like the symbolic meaning of the Spring Festival in the traditional concept.

In fact, including Qi Tianxiang, they all understand the meaning of this expectation, and there are many people who are silently looking forward to it, just like the meaning of the existence of the Spring Festival, which can be ignored, but this existence cannot be ignored.

And when this anticipated day really comes, it doesn't seem to be as wonderful as the expectation, and if you taste it carefully, it's actually an ordinary day, no different from other days, just a necessary procedure or process. Only at this moment can I suddenly understand that the most anticipated day should actually be the moment when the decision is made, and this moment is the key, and it is also difficult to grasp and capture, and it is really of decisive significance.

Therefore, when Li Guoqiang handed over the meeting arrangements and asked Qi Tianxiang to look at them and give instructions, the arrangements for this day were also impressively listed, in fact, it was also a routine day of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, and the special significance was only that the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee would organize and appoint at that time.

From the rumors to the settlement of the organizational arrangement, the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee has also been experienced during the period, but everyone tacitly understands it, and Qi Tianxiang found Lin Dongsheng for the organizational arrangement, and it has also become secret news, but the result has not changed, on the contrary, it has made the rumors more real and well-founded. After that, the Standing Committee also conducted several times, and the feeling was always subtle, but it was all implicitly expressed, and they all understood that this layer of window paper, no matter how thick or thin, could not be broken by the Standing Committee members sitting in the conference room, and it needed the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee and people with this qualification and power to break it, and the basis and confirmation of the point was which paper appointment.

"Communicate with the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, Secretary Hou and Minister Liu will come over tomorrow morning, do we need to greet them?" Qi Tianxiang briefly read the schedule of the General Office, focused on the affairs of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee tomorrow, and discussed with Li Guoqiang and said: "If there is no deliberate request, Comrade Shan Zun and I should go over to greet you to show respect!"

"According to the usual practice, it should be welcomed, but when the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee notified the meeting by phone, it did not deliberately emphasize it, maybe it also depends on our meaning!" Li Guoqiang looked at Qi Tianxiang cautiously, and said with a smile: "After all, the time arranged this time is still the time of our routine Standing Committee, it seems that the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee has fully considered it, and it is not too much to respect." ”

Qi Tianxiang knew the meaning of Li Guoqiang's words, and the subtext was that the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee was cautious about this appointment, but he didn't want to follow this topic, and he was not interested in discussing this issue, so he looked at Li Guoqiang and said with a faint smile: "Don't ask, let's greet it according to the convention!" Just don't let people have ideas. ”

Although Qi Tianxiang's words were gentle, he was unwilling to be overly entangled, and it obviously had a categorical meaning, Li Guoqiang knew Qi Tianxiang's mood at the moment, so he didn't say anything more, nodded and agreed, and after seeing that Qi Tianxiang had nothing else to explain, he kindly reminded before turning to leave: "It's already this time, you should also get off work early and go back to rest!" ”

"I'll leave now, you can also pack up and get ready to go back!" Qi Tianxiang looked at Li Guoqiang, smiled, and said as gently as possible: "If you have time to do things in the future, remember to come and see me, after all, we have been together for so long, and we have fallen in love for a long time!" ”

"Of course, please have time to take a look, or give me some advice on the phone." Li Guoqiang looked at Qi Tianxiang with a complicated mood, and wanted to say something, but he endured it, knowing the meaning of farewell in Qi Tianxiang's words, and after such a period of contact, he understood that Qi Tianxiang was not a polite excuse, but he didn't know how to express his mood at the moment, although the officialdom had invaded Yin for many years, and his experience and experience were enough to deal with today's farewell, but he was unwilling to take the usual way, so he smiled slowly and said: "I can only say that the time I have worked with you is too short, and I can't get lucky!" ”

"Look at what you said, it's like we're not going to see each other again." Qi Tianxiang looked at Li Guoqiang with disgust, and said dissatisfiedly: "How many times have I said it, don't be commensurate with 'you' and 'you', it's too polite, but it has alienated the relationship." ”

"That said, there may not be a lot of such polite proportions in the future, so let's call it a few more times!" Li Guoqiang smiled and said: "A few months is indeed too short, and I am reluctant!" ”

Qi Tianxiang knew that Li Guoqiang was a little emotional, why wasn't he like this, so he let out a long sigh and said slowly: "You go get busy first!" Let's take the time to have a good chat. ”

Li Guoqiang glanced at Qi Tianxiang deeply, didn't say anything, and slowly turned around and walked out of the office.

Looking at the back of Li Guoqiang's departure, Qi Tianxiang's calm mood was a little messy, and the feeling of long-term love became more and more obvious, thinking that there would be many such farewell scenes, his mood became a little gloomy, although he knew that there were many things to think about at the moment, but he didn't want to think about anything, and he didn't want to stay in the office any longer, and he wanted to go to an open place as soon as possible to take a breath.

Qi Tianxiang gently pressed the button on the table, and while waiting for Xiao Zhang to come over, he slowly packed his briefcase, feeling a little dissatisfied with his sentimentality and lack of sophistication in his emotions.
