"Governor Qi is preparing to return to the provincial party committee! Or go straight back to the provincial government? Hong Hu seemed to greet him unintentionally, and then said with emotion: "It's hard enough to run at both ends, it's not easy to see you!" ”

"This side is the position, which side is the action, theory and practice! I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up with the changes! Qi Tianxiang looked at Hong Hu with a smile, and said casually: "It's not easy on either side!" Especially on the side of the provincial government, every day is like a 100-meter sprint, it is rare to have a moment of leisure, and I dare not slack off! ”

The two of them greeted each other like this, and after the others left by car, Hong Hu said sincerely: "Pragmatism is more pragmatic, when the old leaders come to me to guide and guide, the comrades are looking forward to it!" ”

Qi Tianxiang looked at Hong Hu meaningfully, smiled slightly and said: "I don't dare to guide, after all, it was a few years ago, I, a monk who became a monk halfway, didn't dare to dance a knife and a gun in front of professionals." It's still okay to exchange ideas and exchange situations, but it's still necessary to communicate with each other! ”

Seeing what Hong Hu was about to say, Qi Tianxiang hurriedly added: "It's okay to exchange the situation, but relatively speaking, you are still not as clean as mine, so you won't be full of wind and rain." ”

"That's right! It's not easy to find out where I am, there are many ears and eyes, who knows who is the spies on which mountain. Hong Hu smiled understandingly: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, I think today is good, if Governor Qi doesn't object, I will go to your Red Mansion in the afternoon to ask for advice." ”

Qi Tianxiang said with a smile: "Welcome at any time, I dare not say that good wine and good food, good tea and good smoke are waiting, it can still be done." ”

After leaving the party school, Qi Tianxiang returned to the Red House of the Provincial Party Committee, and after a brief lunch, he instructed Xiao Zhang to prepare tea for guests.

Before the words fell, Hong Hu pushed the door and walked in, looked at Xiao Zhang and explained solemnly: "Governor Qi has said that good tea is entertained, in terms of tea tasting, although I can't show off in front of the Fang family, but I can still distinguish the good tea, you don't want to fool me with two hundred yuan a pound of tea." ”

"How dare you! You are my old leader, teach me the business by hand, and I can't wait to brew the best tea for you here from Governor Qi. Xiao Zhang didn't seem to be afraid in front of the serious Hong Hu, but responded with a hippie smile, "It's a pity, Governor Qi really doesn't have any good tea here, but it's all this year's new tea, it's still certain, and now the price of tea is so expensive, good tea is a good price." ”

Xiao Zhang's naughty demeanor and aggrieved look triggered Hong Hu's hearty laughter, diluted the serious atmosphere of the office, and became relaxed.

Qi Tianxiang and Hong Hu warmly shook hands, motioned to Hong Hu to sit on the sofa, and then handed over the cigarette to light the fire, and after Xiao Zhang brought the tea, he took it again, and gently put it on the coffee table in front of Hong Hu, and after doing all this, he slowly sat down on the sofa opposite Hong Hu.

Hong Hu quietly cooperated with Qi Tianxiang's movements, Qi Tianxiang handed him a cigarette, he lit Qi Tianxiang, Qi Tianxiang put the teacup in front of him, he stretched out his hand to protect it slightly, all this seemed natural and casual, seemingly casual, but at the same time showed the attitude and intentions of the two.

"Don't be so polite, I didn't come much in the first place, you are polite, I really treat myself as a guest." Hong Hu looked at Qi Tianxiang with a slight smile, and said a little seriously: Originally, it was not in the same system, but I wanted to come to see you, but I always couldn't find a suitable reason, and I also wanted to see through the autumn water! ”

Hong Hu's analogy seemed funny, Qi Tianxiang knew that his analogy was inappropriate, but he couldn't make any expressions, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

As a soldier, Hong Hu is honest and upright, not good at dancing and writing, and he is not good at the set of literary crepe and sour rottenness, such an expression itself is a manifestation of easing the relationship, and there can be no contempt and ridicule.

After many years of military career, he transferred to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, starting from an ordinary case-handling officer, from ignorance to professional mastery, completely relying on a love for work and a serious and hard-working spirit, step by step to the position of deputy secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and how much effort and hardship he paid, only he himself knows.

When Qi Tianxiang took up the post of Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and became the director of the Policy Research Office, Hong Hu was still the deputy secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and he was the first deputy secretary among the three deputy secretaries of Hong, Bai, and Tang. If nothing else, it is only a matter of time before he succeeds Secretary Zhang, who is about to arrive at the station. In particular, when the central authorities stressed that discipline inspection and supervision cadres should be professionalized, knowledgeable, and specialized, there were not many people who could compete with them.

Qi Tianxiang is an expert in administrative law and a doctoral supervisor of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, although he is only the director of the most inconspicuous policy research office, but people with a discerning eye know that this is the department that has the most complete files and materials in the provincial discipline inspection commission system, and the intention is very obvious for Qi Tianxiang, a young cadre from a scholar, the intention is obvious, that is, to let him be familiar with and master the whole process of discipline inspection and supervision work in the shortest possible time, so as to be able to successfully complete the transition and successfully achieve a certain intention according to the plan.

That is, on the eve of Qi Tianxiang's completion of the temporary post and his final transfer to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, Hong Hu served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Hezhou Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission as the deputy secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. Although it is a horizontal transfer, the actual role is different.

Qi Tianxiang successfully took over as secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and soon became a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, crossing the threshold that many people dream of, and being promoted from a provincial cadre to a ministry cadre, which is an important leap in the way of office.

Although a few years later, Qi Tianxiang left the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and he was replaced by Hong Hu, and successfully became a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, which can be regarded as a fulfillment of his wishes, but in the unspoken rules of officialdom, a few years of stagnation consumes not only time, but also a more important age advantage.

It is with such an intersection that the relationship between Qi Tianxiang and Hong Hu is very delicate, compared with the alternation of positions, what is more difficult to calm is the emotions in the heart, and the unspeakable dissatisfaction. As a cadre at this level, he will not express his feelings plainly, but it is unrealistic to say that he has no ideas at all.

Qi Tianxiang understands this, and Hong Hu also understands it, but it's not easy to show it directly, so they contact each other cautiously, and they are as cautious as possible.

It can also be said that the two will not contact each other alone unless absolutely necessary.
