After a short period of thinking combing, Qi Tianxiang couldn't help but secretly admire Tao Ran's shrewdness and sophistication. The so-called ginger is still old and spicy, Tao Ran, as a prefectural and municipal ruler for many years, can be described as perfect in the application of power and strategy, and his grasp of the development of the situation is also just right and accurate. Sometimes it's like an experienced director who doesn't have a script and doesn't prepare, but the plot is clear and can guide the actors very skillfully, according to their own ideas, and dutifully stage a wonderful drama.

In fact, from the beginning of today's meeting, Tao Ran purposefully stimulated Han Zizai, and implicitly angered Qi Tianxiang, whether it was dissatisfaction and reprimand for Han Zizai, or the co-optation and inducement of Wang Tongjun, it was to make the situation continue to develop and intensify the contradictions, so as to induce Qi Tianxiang to be dissatisfied and questioned, and then Tao Ran added fuel to the fire, angering Han Zizai, so that he couldn't help but contradict Tao Ran or Qi Tianxiang, pushing the conflict to the extreme, so that Tao Ran had to make the decision to stop Han Zizai's position.

Achieving this goal, not only can he effectively protect himself, but also use Qi Tianxiang's hand to clean up the Guishui officialdom that Han Zizai has entrenched for many years, and finally solve the problem of mineral resources and interest division in Guishui County. These are long-term goals, and they are the results that can be expected, and the most obvious result at this stage is to protect one's position and position.

Picking up Qi Tianxiang from the highway intersection, Tao Ran obviously felt Qi Tianxiang's dissatisfaction and unhappiness, and his attitude towards Mao Zhigang along the way reflected the governor's tendency.

As a young governor, Qi Tianxiang needs to establish his own prestige and power system as soon as possible, which is not only a requirement for government work, but also a necessity for the power of the new governor, and he must have his own handy team. In the six months since he took office, this seemingly weak and elegant governor with a soft demeanor has a strong desire and fierceness in his heart, but it is not as decisive and firm as his appearance.

In the mining accident at the beginning of his tenure, Qi Tianxiang was highly praised for his dedication and proper command, reaped huge practical benefits, and took advantage of the situation to win Liang Zhixin, secretary of the Huayi Municipal Party Committee. When the road encountered difficulties in the investigation, the city's on-site administrative meeting according to law was held with great fanfare, which brought the career of Xiao Chaogui, secretary of the Laizhou Municipal Party Committee, to an end. The inspection activities of industrial progress and revitalization, the high-profile reversal of the economic structure, sent Hao Han to the position of deputy secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Committee. There is also the recent capital operation work, which not only strongly pushed Liang Bingyu to the position of mayor of Hezhou, suppressed Hou Zhehai's gradual momentum, but also more strongly stabilized his sense of existence as the second-in-command of Hehai Province and his skillful use of power.

As an individual's use of power, as well as the expansion of the desire for power, is not terrible, the new official has such a process in the three fires, as time goes by, the power of the other, and soon there will be a restraining force, as long as you survive such a difficult stage, do not deliberately touch his spearhead, you can survive the crisis safely. But with the development of the situation, Tao Ran found that things were not as simple as he imagined, and what was even more terrifying was that Lin Dongsheng, as the secretary of the provincial party committee, recognized and connived at Qi Tianxiang's power expansion, and was willing to support him behind Qi Tianxiang. Such a reality shows that Lin Dongsheng has recognized and accepted the fact that Qi Tianxiang is his successor, or that he has been instructed at a higher level to consciously support Qi Tianxiang and try his best to help him establish his own power system to complete the transfer and transition of power.

It is based on this understanding that Tao Ran became anxious, and also invisibly produced a deep worry, he did not have the opportunity to intersect with Qi Tianxiang, and his age was also in an embarrassing stage, the previous step to become a deputy provincial age is still passable, and it is okay to stay still for a few more years, it is not impossible to give up the position and retire, the key depends on the operation of the relationship between the upper and lower levels, especially the attitude above. Therefore, when he heard that Qi Tianxiang was coming to Shanyin City, he attached great importance to it, and hoped to seize this rare opportunity to establish the necessary emotional connection with Qi Tianxiang, so that he could at least stabilize his current position without seeking his favor.

Now it seems that the suburbs are a bit of a mistake, Qi Tianxiang doesn't care about these, and is very disgusted, he should have waited for Qi Tianxiang and his party directly in Guishui County, or walked directly to the mountains with the construction of the same house. But he was unwilling to enter Guishui County directly, and Han Zizai's existence was an important reason why he was unwilling to set foot in Guishui County.

Since the discovery of rare metals in this poor and poor mountainous county, it has become complicated here, and all kinds of powers are eyeing huge interests, especially the son of a heavyweight in Beijing is determined to win, and hints at the meaning of Han Zizai's existence, Tao Ran can't intervene at all, let alone have any intervention in the situation, he can only watch the huge economic interests, after Han Zizi's interests are transferred, it has become a piece of fat on the side of his mouth, which is coveted, but he can't eat it.

Tao Ran knew that he couldn't move Han Zizai, but Qi Tianxiang could. Judging from Qi Tianxiang's jealous and hateful personality and style of doing things, it is impossible for him to tolerate such a transfer of interests and power-for-money transactions, and Qi Tianxiang is now on the rise, and his past experience and deeds have been affirmed and appreciated by the central high-level leaders, and it is likely that there will be greater development. These are very important, and even more important, because he dealt with Han Zizai and Wang Tongjun first, which indirectly prevented Qi Tianxiang's next move, which also bought time for himself.

Tao Ran took the lead to achieve his goal, making it difficult for Qi Tianxiang to fall for a while, the municipal party committee and the municipal government dealt with the county party committee and the county government, and suspended the main leading cadres in the name of ineffective handling, and the provincial party committee and the provincial government dealt with the leaders of the Shanyin Municipal Party Committee and the municipal government for the same reason. Qi Tianxiang's next step can only rely on the Shanyin Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, that is, Tao Ran, otherwise the situation of the dragons without a leader is not only unbearable for Qi Tianxiang, but also the most taboo place for accident handling.

Qi Tianxiang is very clear about his situation, and also understands that Tao Ran consciously forced himself into a corner, facing the eyes of everyone in the conference room, Qi Tianxiang felt unprecedented pressure, and he had to make a decision in a short time, not only because he was the highest leader here, but in the face of contradictions and conflicts at the city and county levels, the tendency and attitude of the provincial government, which will not only play an important guiding role in the handling of the accident, but also for the aftermath.

Just when Qi Tianxiang was thinking nervously, Zhou Tong hurriedly walked in, and just rightly relieved Qi Tianxiang's encirclement, which also made Qi Tianxiang's eyes look at Zhou Tong, and followed his figure to his side.

Qi Tianxiang looked at Zhou Tong quietly, and after Zhou Tong whispered softly in his ear, he stretched out his hand to signal Zhou Tong to sit down, and then whispered to Tao Ran on his side: "There are some things that need to be dealt with urgently, let's adjourn the meeting first!" ”

The appearance of Zhou Tong made Qi Tianxiang move in an instant, making the tense and rigid atmosphere invisible, Tao Ran couldn't help but feel deeply disappointed, a good show had not yet been staged, and it ended in a hurry, but there was no way to turn it around, and he could only secretly regret it At the same time, he looked at Qi Tianxiang and nodded with a slight smile, and then turned to Wang Tongjun on the opposite side and said: "Governor Qi has some things to do, you continue to do a good job of reception, and you can't affect the rest and work of the leaders." ”

After Tao Ran finished speaking, without waiting for Wang Tongjun to make any statement, he turned his face to look at Qi Tianxiang, and as Qi Tianxiang stood up, he slowly walked out of the conference room under the applause and cheers of everyone.

Qi Tianxiang got on the escalator in the crowd of everyone, went down to the hall, and stepped up to the medium-sized bus, and slowly sat down before looking at Tao Ran, who got on the car later, and said solemnly: "Fang Jianshe They are trapped in a township not far from the county seat, and it is the armed police soldiers who are performing their tasks, what is the reason for this?" Do you know? ”

Although Qi Tianxiang's expression was very calm from beginning to end, Tao Ran saw something strange from Zhou Tong's anxious face, and now after Qi Tianxiang asked, he felt that the matter was much more serious than he imagined, and vaguely thought of some situations, but he was not sure, and he was even more unwilling to take responsibility, so he shook his head and asked puzzledly: "The situation in Guishui County is quite special, I really don't know very well, what happened?" When Lao Fang arrived in Shanyin City at noon, we were still on the phone, and I offered to accompany him to Guishui County in person, but he refused. This old man's personality is very strong, and there has been no change over the years, so we had to let the deputy mayor in charge of the environment and land and resources accompany them into the mountains. ”

Tao Ran's conscious confession was sincere and sincere, and Qi Tianxiang also believed that what he said was the truth, so he stared at Tao Ran seriously for a moment, and said seriously: "From noon to now, have you ever received a call from Lao Fang?" Or is it the phone number of your deputy mayor of San'in? Let Secretary-General Zhou tell you in detail! ”

Tao Ran looked at Qi Tianxiang's serious expression, quickly exchanged glances with Mao Zhigang, and then looked at Zhou Tong, and asked a little anxiously, "What happened?" Governor Qi said that I was confused, it is rare that something happened to the old house? It shouldn't be! After they arrived in Shanyin City, we specially led the way by the police car of the Pai City Public Security Bureau, and they were accompanied by some cadres from the city, who still knew the situation in Guishui County very well! ”

"Secretary Tao is right, this is within the range of Shanyin, even if the situation in Guishui County is special, there will not be any accidents!" With Tao Ran's words, Mao Zhigang hurriedly interjected and said, Tao Ran's glance just now, although it was only a brief glance, made Mao Zhigang understand all his intentions, so he hurriedly said: "In addition, accompanied by people from the city, there shouldn't be any situation." ”
