Chapter Twenty-Six: Lao Bai is critically ill

"A comrade brought me two cards, I want to let you take a look at it at the Standing Committee today, it is said that there are several such cards, in addition to the different colors of gold, silver, copper, iron, and tin, there are also different names, such as this gold card is called a department-level card, this silver card is called a lady card, or a second milk card, and what are the chief cards, relationship cards, and flexible cards, all of which have become a series, which is really not to be underestimated!"

At the beginning of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Secretary Zhao Haonan took out the card given by Qi Tianxiang to make an opening remarks, and saw the light smile from everyone in the conference room, Zhao Haonan's expression changed from relaxed to severe, "I believe that even if you don't have it, you will not be unfamiliar with such a card, this is a sign, comrades, we can't help but arouse our vigilance and vigilance." [Ran^Text^Library] []”

Zhao Haonan looked around with a cold gaze, and then said: "Before our party entered the city, the leaders of our party were keenly aware that whether we, the local tyrants, shook off the dust from the ravine and entered the bustling and lively world of flowers, whether we can resist the erosion of sugar-coated shells by capitalists and hostile forces, and whether we can cross the hurdle of monetary interests, is related to the life and death of our party, and even more related to whether our great cause can continue and can be carried forward. Not only did they hold a special meeting to make arrangements, but they also reminded and demanded the comrades of the whole party, and the facts proved that such a reminder was wise, and our contingent was also able to stand the test and be trustworthy. ”

Zhao Haonan became excited as he spoke, and couldn't help raising his voice, his majestic words revealed the anger of shock and suppression, "Now that these are back, and they are back openly and blatantly, can our party members and cadres still resist and prevent it?" Is there still such an iron will and immunity? Some comrades may say that now is the period of market economy, the exchange of courtesies and exchanges in commercial activities, and the inevitable result of economic development. It is not naΓ―ve to have such an idea, or it has ulterior motives, and can you not be politically sensitive without mentioning political leadership? In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the open subversion and corrosion of swords and swords were gone, would the world be peaceful? Don't hostile and separatist forces cease to exist? Are the material and spiritual demands of billionaires and laid-off workers the same? Do the hostile elements we have dealt with the same feelings as the broad masses of the people? Doesn't a harmonious society need to be vigilant and precautionary? If you open the country, you really don't want guards and defenses? What is harmony, let's take a look at this homonym first. ”

Zhao Haonan stood up and continued with a torch in his eyes: "The words are all shaped, it means that the sound is the same to be harmonious, and only then is it harmonious, and when it reaches this realm, it is harmony, not the beauty calculated by economic data, nor is it the so-called happiness index after the material life is satisfied, these cannot stabilize and guarantee the stability of our party's ruling position, let alone an indicator once and for all, which can be achieved with a little effort." ”

"What is the current situation of our cadre team, and what are the advantages and disadvantages of Hohai Province compared with the whole country, I believe that I don't need to say that everyone here knows very well, what problems do the appearance of these cards show, and how should we be vigilant, I believe there is no need for me to emphasize too much." As he spoke, Zhao Haonan sat down, his tone was also low, and he seemed to say with some seriousness: "When it comes to our positions here, there seems to be nothing to worry about, we don't have to worry about food, clothing, housing, transportation, food, drink, and Lazar, and even birth, old age, sickness and death are not what we need to think about, so what should we do?" What can you do? Without goals, there will be no motivation and passion, and there will be no care and attention, how is this year's agricultural production? What is the industrial structure of the rural areas and the expectations of farmers? What went wrong in the operation of the economy and industry? How to fix it? It seems to be a clichΓ© to say how the department in charge of oneself can help do some work within one's ability, but it is better to pull circles, engage in gangs, divide mountains, and cause infighting than idle circles? Now these seemingly life-and-death battles, looking back ten years later, are they not worth mentioning? ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Haonan glanced at Lin Dongsheng beside him meaningfully, and said with emotion: "The working relationship between Comrade Dongsheng and me seems to have given a lot of boring people ulterior motives to guess and associate. I want to make it clear that the relationship between Comrade Dongsheng and me is very normal, and the cooperation is very good, and any speculation and choice of sides is wishful thinking and will never succeed. ”

Zhao Haonan's unexpected confession immediately made the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly tense, and such a statement and speech appeared in a meeting of this standard, which was a bit abrupt and unreasonable. Despite all the speculation and friction, rumors and rumors or complaints, everyone is careful to avoid it, for fear of touching this sensitive nerve and triggering greater officialdom turmoil and even a wider political earthquake. After all, everyone knows that the cause of such a situation is not something that can be influenced by Ho Hai Province, but has a higher level of intention. The allocation of party and government cadres should not only be interdependent, but also friction and prevention against each other, which is a higher-level consideration or political wisdom, and a monolithic position is not conducive to the control of the situation at the top level, nor is it conducive to the influence of the overall situation. Such a situation is difficult to control, and it is difficult to crack, so you can only follow the trend. A thin layer of window screen covers the truth, anyone can see it clearly, and no one wants to point it through, but it was gently and seemingly careless by Zhao Haonan, and the shock brought to the participants is conceivable.

"Secretary Haonan's words are very good and timely, I hope that those who see the intrigue between our old buddies can rest, don't bother with this." After a short period of stunned, Lin Dongsheng regained his natural demeanor, and after clearing his throat with two dry coughs, he said in a resolute tone: "Our old brothers cooperate very well, and they sing in one tune, that is, the political stability and economic prosperity of Hehai Province, and everything else is nonsense." I advise those who have this kind of cranky mind to do something serious and think about something, which is better than anything else. ”

Lin Dongsheng is in a very good mood today, this is not the reason for Zhao Haonan's statement just now, but the economic operation has improved greatly in recent times, which is a good end to the completion of the annual goal and the overall work of the year. Moreover, the high-level officials are also quite concerned about the coordination and cooperation of the top party and government leaders in Hehai, which is also one of the reasons why Zhao Haonan convened the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee the day after returning from his short-term study at the Central Party School, and it is also the reason why Zhao Haonan has such a statement.

After thinking about this, Lin Dongsheng was in a more comfortable mood, and after expressing his position, he turned his head to look at Zhao Haonan, saw Zhao Haonan's subtle smile and silent expression, and knew that he hoped that he would continue to speak, so he looked at the participants and continued: "Comrade Haonan has just returned from Beijing and brought back the important instructions of the central government on our river and sea work. ”

As he spoke, Lin Dongsheng looked at Qi Tianxiang gently, and said with a smile: "The report on the current situation and problems of state-owned enterprises written by Comrade Tianxiang to the provincial party committee and the provincial government not long ago was forwarded as a document to the provincial department and bureau level, especially when I was the top leaders of the province's counties and districts for training and discussion, I had ideas. The main concern is that such an arrangement will bring some negative effects, especially at the end of the year, and any shock will have an adverse impact. Now it seems that I am unfounded, this report not only clarified some confused understanding in the industrial operation, but also greatly promoted the province's industrial economic operation, which is really unexpected! Here, on behalf of the provincial government, I would like to express my gratitude to Comrade Tianxiang. ”

As Lin Dongsheng spoke, he stood up and bowed deeply to Qi Tianxiang. If Zhao Haonan's confession is a little unbelievable and a little low-level exposed, Lin Dongsheng's thanks and bows are even more unexpected and even more surprising, and the shock to the participants is no less than Zhao Haonan's statement. For the reward of showing favor to Zhao Haonan, such an action undoubtedly conveys more information, and the demeanor and expression of Zhao Haonan and Zheng Ming also confirm his feelings, and the friendliness and gratitude conveyed in the eye contact are also beyond the scope of words.

As a high-level leading cadre at this level, although working in a large compound, there are not many opportunities to meet or talk, except for some group activities or large-scale meetings. In addition to the sensitivity of positions and authority, the office will also deliberately avoid the situation of multiple officials at the same level in the arrangement of activities, one is not good balance between the primary and secondary positions, and the other is not conducive to the progress of the relevant activity agenda. There are very few other ways, and it is even more rare to talk or confront each other, and the Standing Committee may be a good opportunity, but in addition to polite greetings, there is only eye contact.

The division of different circles and scopes makes each other both guard against and let go, which has become another interpretation of political wisdom. It seems that it is an obstacle to the relationship and an insurmountable gap, and it is difficult for anyone to effectively change all this, and there is no absolute authority and grasp, so they can only maintain a reasonable and safe distance from each other and maintain their own circles or interests.

Today is an anomaly, the barriers disappeared in an instant, not only the secretary's high-profile reconciliation gestures, the governor's response came bluntly and quickly, not only out of line, but also beyond everyone's expectations, in addition to the parties involved, many people need time and thought to re-adapt to the changes, and also need to observe carefully to know what these changes mean and what they can bring.

No matter what others think or think, things started because of Qi Tianxiang, and he absolutely can't stay out of it. In fact, it's not just now, Lin Dongsheng's behavior in the corridor just now made him suspicious and a little flattered.

"Your brother is good, a few shots at the door, strong and heavy, and the accuracy is very high, it seems that it is really a master!" As soon as Lin Dongsheng entered the door and saw Qi Tianxiang coming in from another door, he said with a smile: "I really have to take time for our old buddy to talk about the Tao." ”

Lin Dongsheng's unusually affectionate attitude immediately made Qi Tianxiang scratch his head, because the governor was not harsh and cold, and he was not arrogant and cold, he was lukewarm in the past, with an unapproachable proud posture, and rarely took the initiative to say hello, let alone smile all over his face. Qi Tianxiang, who is accustomed to this kind of cold reception, has a simple explanation for this attitude, he is Zheng Ming's celebrity, and he is also the treasure in Zhao Haonan's eyes. But at the same time, he is the son-in-law of the former governor, and he has the support of local forces, this kind of reality that is not embarrassing or embarrassing, the possible explanation is that there is also the possibility of cooperation or exchange between Zhao Zheng Group and local powers, and there are different wait-and-sees, Lin Dongsheng is one of the doubts and wait-and-see. Today's attitude is indeed difficult to understand, and the only explanation is that the matter of Haidong Gold Group is reflected to him, which makes him see the essence of Qi Tianxiang, not only the wall demolition faction, but also this practical and pragmatic side.

But Lin Dongsheng's overtures didn't give Qi Tianxiang too much time to react and think, he just smiled innocently, and argued a little dumbly, "Don't say that, I just did my part, and I deserve Governor Lin's praise." ”

"It's better to think like this, your brother is good, I'm optimistic about you!" Lin Dongsheng looked at Qi Tianxiang's nervous expression, patted his back lightly with relief, and repeated briefly but firmly: "I'm optimistic about you, optimistic about you!" ”

Looking at Lin Dongsheng's back, Qi Tianxiang could only shake his head with a wry smile, without any mental preparation, so that when he walked into the conference room and sat in his own seat, he was still a little confused, and he didn't know how to understand these abnormal actions.

The conference room is not big, but it is more than enough to sit down nine members of the Standing Committee, saying that it is a conference room, but in fact, it is only a meeting, especially when the Standing Committee meeting, it has such a role, more often, it is still a part of Zhao Haonan's office, but it is not often here.

After listening to Lin Dongsheng's praise and seeing that the eyes of the Standing Committee members were focused on themselves, Qi Tianxiang weighed how to express it, among all the Standing Committee members, in terms of qualifications and age, as well as political experience and experience, Qi Tianxiang understood his position, that is, this status that was not up or down, which made Qi Tianxiang cautious and low-key, and rarely showed his true intentions or thoughts. In the long run, what Qi Tianxiang can do is to look around at the Standing Committee members as always and return it with a gentle smile.

Qi Tianxiang's low-key and modest smile made the Standing Committee members present very useful, especially Zhao Haonan and Lin Dongsheng, who invariably threw a look of unhesitating approval, and even Zheng Ming, who had always been strict, also showed an expression of appreciation and approval.

After a short pause, the Standing Committee continued to meet, and Zhao Haonan began to report on the results of the study of the Central Party School and the instructions of the senior leaders on the work of Hehai, and it was only at this time that today's Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee could be regarded as officially begining. At best, everything was just a dessert or an aperitif.

As Zhao Haonan's unhurried speech continued, Qi Tianxiang calmed down a little, and began to record the main points in a focused manner, and soon it was difficult to record with peace of mind, because he felt that the mobile phone in his pocket vibrated again, it was a call instead of a message, and this was the third time since the beginning of the meeting. According to the convention, he is having an important meeting, and not answering the phone is a kind of information transmission, which should be immediately called on Xiao Zhang's mobile phone outside, and after making a record, he will wait for the end of Qi Tianxiang's meeting, even if he knows this rule at home, I believe he will not know all this, unless there is a special emergency event.

Thinking of this, Qi Tianxiang couldn't help but get nervous, he could keep calling, there must be something urgent, what could it be? Qi Tianxiang quickly sorted out his thoughts, thinking about what urgent things could be waiting for him, but he couldn't figure out what it would be, and immediately a sense of foreboding came to his mind, thinking of Liu Jinfeng's noon call, and he couldn't help but think of Bai Fengshou. The more I think about it, the more chaotic and urgent it becomes, and it seems that there are countless small insects that stir my nerves and make me restless. finally couldn't hold back the worry and surprise, and quietly took out his mobile phone and glanced at it between Zhao Haonan's speeches.

At a glance, there were more than a dozen missed calls, including Jing Qian from the hospital and Liu Jinfeng. There are also more than a dozen pieces of information, all of which are one content: "Lao Bai is critically ill!" Qi Tianxiang's face immediately changed, from peaceful to paper-white, and his expression changed from surprise to shock, to pain, and even to grief.

Qi Tianxiang's emotional changes quickly manifested on his face, and also attracted Zhao Haonan's attention, and in the seemingly unintentional eye contact, Qi Tianxiang read the incomprehension and questions in Zhao Haonan's eyes. After a short hesitation, Qi Tianxiang resolutely stood up, met Zhao Haonan's gaze, walked quickly in front of him, and bowed his head and whispered in his ear about Lao Bai's situation.

Zhao Haonan's expression immediately became serious, and he quickly whispered to Lin Dongsheng, exchanged glances with Zheng Ming, and quickly said to Tianxiang: "You hurry over, and call immediately if there is a situation." ”

Qi Tianxiang nodded, walked back to his seat quickly, quickly packed up his things, smiled apologetically at the puzzled eyes, walked out of the conference room quickly, and hurried to the provincial hospital with Xiao Zhang, who was waiting outside the conference room.

Soon after, Qi Tianxiang sent back the news, which also became the last item of the Standing Committee. After Zhao Haonan saw Qi Tianxiang's information, he said sadly: "Comrade Bai Fengshou has just passed away, a good comrade who insisted on working for ten years despite illness, and took the initiative to exert his residual heat after retiring, just like that. As he spoke, the corners of Zhao Haonan's eyes moistened, and he said emotionally: "I propose that the members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee at home should go to say goodbye at that time, and send off this old comrade who died in the line of duty, so as to do our best to pay our respects and condolences!" ”

"I completely agree with Comrade Haonan's proposal, and we should express our respect." Lin Dongsheng quickly expressed his position and continued to emphasize: "At the same time, I hope that the propaganda department will do a good job of excavating the deeds of Comrade Bai Fengshou and establish a model of conscientious party members and cadres, as a banner for the construction of party style and government discipline in the province, and call on party members and cadres in the province to learn from this spirit of dedication and wisdom based on their own duties, and strive to promote the improvement and improvement of the work style of party members and organs in the province." ”

Zhao Haonan's proposal and Lin Dongsheng's supplementation and improvement were unanimously agreed by the Standing Committee members attending the meeting, and the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee ended in a happy atmosphere.
