It wasn't until the fourth batch of trapped miners ascended the shaft, and there were no miners ascending the shaft for the time being, that Tong Anshan, who was slightly tired, reluctantly left the tunnel mouth and walked into the tent headquarters to rest under the persuasion of Qi Tianxiang.

For more than three hours, Tong Anshan stood like this, quietly looking at the depths of the tunnel, not moving or speaking, even if he walked around limitedly, he only walked to the ambulance again and again, shook hands with the escaped miners one by one, and expressed concern and condolences. After a brief period of action, it still stood silently. After standing for such a long time and monotonous actions, even Qi Tianxiang felt difficult, and he really didn't know how he coped with it.

"It's already past six o'clock, and Director Tong has also come over for a day, so I think Director Tong might as well go back to the county first, go to the hospital to see the treatment of the people who were sent, and then gather the comrades in the county to listen to the report on the aftermath and resettlement." After Tong Anshan sat down, Qi Tianxiang slowly turned around and took the teacup handed by the staff, gently placed it in front of Tong Anshan, looked at him tentatively and said: "When you come down, where things may be more complicated than here, you are experienced, give us guidance, so that we can make fewer mistakes and take fewer detours." ”

Tong Anshan quickly raised his eyes and glanced at Qi Tianxiang, a trace of warmth was imperceptible in his eyes, but he was quickly disguised, shook his head gently, glanced at Zhang Wanfu, and slowly said to Qi Tianxiang: "I can still hold on to my old body, but Comrade Wanfu should go back and take a rest, I have been busy for two whole days, it is really not easy!" ”

"I'm nothing, take a look around, listen to the report, it doesn't affect your rest at night, it doesn't matter." Without waiting for Qi Tianxiang to speak, Zhang Wanfu hurriedly took over the conversation and said: "I agree with Governor Qi's opinion, Director Tong should go back to the county, there are still many things that you need to decide, and there is also a lot of work that needs your guidance, this is not a matter of one or two days, it is better to maintain physical strength." ”

Seeing Qi Tianxiang and Zhang Wanfu's singing and harmonizing cooperation, Tong Anshan fell silent and did not rush to express his opinion. He knows very well in his heart that many times this is the case, as the director of the State Administration of Work Safety, his identity and responsibilities determine the embarrassment of his position, there is no thing that will not have his figure, as long as he appears, the appearance is the beginning of another disaster.

This is also the reality that there is no way, so he tries his best to maintain a cold and gloomy demeanor, maintain a distance from the local government and officials, even if there is hostility and interference, he must maintain independent behavior and judgment, not be dragged down by the form and manifestation phenomenon, and over time he has formed a cold-faced and cold-hearted image.

In fact, Tong Anshan understands Qi Tianxiang's intentions very well, he is here, and his decisions and decisions have brought some interference and influence, although these are invisible, but it is indeed impossible not to face it.

It was Zhou Tong who broke the deadlock, that is, Zhou Tong's words, which made Tong Anshan, who was hesitating, make up his mind to leave.

Looking at the silent Tong Anshan, as well as the somewhat embarrassing atmosphere, Zhou Tong, who had never spoken, said slowly: "I think that Director Tong and Governor Qi should go back to the county, and after dealing with the aftermath of the county, they should rest early, because tomorrow morning the two leaders will go to Huayi Airport to greet the leaders of the State Council and Secretary Lin of the Provincial Party Committee, and they will report on their work and accompany the inspection, and there will be a lot of things." ”

Zhou Tong's reasons are reasonable and irrefutable, and they all know that there will be a lot of things tomorrow, and the leaders in charge of the State Council, entrusted by the premier, expressed concern and condolences for the accident. The secretary of the provincial party committee should rush from the provincial capital to Huayi Airport to accompany him for inspection and visit. Such a high-level inspection activity is not only not necessarily once a year in small Yishan County, but even in Huayi City, and such an activity is still caused by an accident, and no one can say what kind of result it will be, and the only way is to take it seriously.

With such a reason, Tong Anshan couldn't refuse anymore, so he had to agree to be accompanied by Zhou Tong to take the first step. Qi Tianxiang, Zhang Wanfu and others sent Tong Anshan to the minibus and watched him leave before entering the tent again.

Qi Tianxiang and Zhang Wanfu had a slight argument about who would be in the county, Qi Tianxiang suggested that Zhang Wanfu go back to the county and be on duty at the scene tonight, Zhang Wanfu objected fiercely after hearing it, thinking that he should still be on duty here, on the grounds that he was the commander-in-chief of the scene, and of course he should be at the scene.

In fact, both of them know that with the acceleration of the rescue progress, tonight will be an important moment, and it is likely that at a certain time, the trapped people buried in the minecart will be found, and it will also be accompanied by casualties, and the rescue and rescue work will become more onerous, so it can be said that it is likely to be difficult to rest this night.

But at Qi Tianxiang's insistence, Zhang Wanfu quickly understood the true purpose of Qi Tianxiang's stay, and couldn't help but have a deeper admiration for Qi Tianxiang's methods and intentions.

Looking at Zhang Wanfu's deep eyes, Qi Tianxiang knew that Zhang Wanfu understood his intentions, so he looked around at everyone with a slight smile, and said lightly: "Governor Zhang and Wang Minglun will all rest in the county, in addition to Xie Tianqing and Lao Yu of the Shengli Group, as well as Liu Siwa, Wang Xiaohu and others, even if they can't all go back, they must limit their time underground, the underground rescue command is responsible for the leaders of other groups and mines, Zhixin and Zhu Shouming stay, and the rest of the personnel go back to do a good job of reception tomorrow, As well as the next step in the treatment and rescue of the wounded, these things must not be slackened, let alone problems. ”

Seeing that everyone left the tent one after another to do the handover work, Qi Tianxiang slowly regained his composure, looked at Zhang Wanfu with emotion, and expressed his gratitude with his eyes.

Being guessed by Zhang Wanfu was something Qi Tianxiang expected, and these unspeakable thoughts could only be understood and executed by guessing. The first is the involvement of the miners who are about to come out of the mine, which is the superficial meaning, showing Qi Tianxiang's feelings for the trapped miners. But another meaning is that in this period, it is inconvenient for Qi Tianxiang to be in the same place with Tong Anshan, especially at this time in the evening, it seems rude not to eat together, and Tong Anshan's location is not easy to eat together, and not going back in a dilemma may be the only choice. More importantly, in the face of the upcoming leadership of the State Council, Qi Tianxiang needs to use methods similar to torture to toss himself as tired as possible, and may even be physically and mentally exhausted, which is not only beneficial to his smooth response to the crisis, but also more beneficial to the young governor to establish a hands-on image. Being able to get the attention and favor of the leaders of the State Council is a rare opportunity for Qi Tianxiang, and Qi Tianxiang also needs such an opportunity now.

Qi Tianxiang felt that he was entering the state, and he would play his role well, which he was very confident in.
