Master Xin's matter, despite the roundabout approach, quickly caused different reactions, and the first to react was Vice Mayor Ma Quanming, who arrived at the municipal party committee office early the next morning, waiting for Qi Tianxiang's arrival. [Ran^Text^Library] []

"Comrade Quan Ming, morning! Came to block the door so early. Qi Tianxiang stretched out his hand with a slight smile, the expression on his face was naturally peaceful, and he seemed to say casually: "Is there something urgent, just call in advance." ”

"That is, come and see, I heard that Secretary Qi came early in the morning, thinking if I could meet him, and I will leave after saying a few words, which will not affect Secretary Qi's work arrangement in the morning." Ma Quanming hurriedly took a few steps to hold Qi Tianxiang's hand, and hurriedly explained: "It's a bit presumptuous, I should call in advance." ”

"Isn't this a bit out of sight, how can there be so many rules between colleagues." Qi Tianxiang said and walked into the office first, motioned for Ma Quanming to sit down first, walked straight to the desk, put the bag in his hand on the table, turned around and joked: "Don't wait in the office next time, just let them open the door and come in. ”

"How can I do it, how can I enter the secretary's office casually." Ma Quanming saw that Qi Tianxiang was about to pour water for him, so he hurriedly stood up in the sofa and said uneasily: "No, no need to pour water, I'll do it myself." ”

"Isn't it normal for me to pour you a glass of water? You sit down first, and you'll be fine soon. Qi Tianxiang smiled and picked up the cup and walked to the water dispenser, slowly took the water, brought it to Ma Quanming, gently put it on the coffee table, and said gently: "It's such a simple thing, it's normal for you to pour water for me, it's not normal for me to pour water for you, the difference is that I am the secretary of the municipal party committee?" Is it that complicated? ”

"Not really, it's mostly embarrassing." Qi Tianxiang said it mercilessly, which made Ma Quanming embarrassed, and said with a smile: "You just entered the office, and before you took a breath, you were busy pouring water for me, it was too hard." ”

"The main thing is that I don't fit in, and some abnormalities are true." Qi Tianxiang slowly sat on the sofa opposite Ma Quanming and asked with a serious expression, "Is there anything wrong with coming here so early?" ”

"I heard about what happened yesterday afternoon, and Secretary Qi saw at a glance that our problems were my work mistakes, and I asked Secretary Qi to criticize." Ma Quanming didn't go around in circles anymore, and said bluntly: "For the old model worker's later life, we really don't care enough and serve enough, and we lack too much." ”

"Hey, the news is fast enough, no wonder you came to block my door early this morning." Qi Tianxiang glanced at Ma Quanming vigilantly, quickly judging his news channels and the true intention of coming to the door so early.

"Secretary Qi, don't worry too much, it was Zhu Lin, chairman of the Federation of Trade Unions, who told me." Ma Quanming knew that Qi Tianxiang would be suspicious of his sources, and hurriedly explained: "The two of us are college classmates, and we move around each other a lot, and he told me your instructions after I went back last night, hoping that I can seriously reflect on the omissions and deficiencies in my work." ”

Hearing Ma Quanming say this, Qi Tianxiang was a little relieved, and seemed to remember that Ma Quanming graduated from Hezhou University in the information, and he didn't have a special impression of the time he went to school, as if he should have studied in the same university as Zhu Lin for a period of time. Despite this, the words were still skeptical, "Zhu Lin is my lover's former leader, and we are also very familiar with each other, since you are classmates, he should have conveyed your attitude to me, not criticism, dissatisfaction, and some confusion." ”

"He told you exactly what you said, and what you were doing at the time." Ma Quanming looked at Qi Tianxiang frankly and said: "I am responsible for the division of labor and social security of the municipal government, as well as public utilities, because the work is not done carefully, there are many problems and problems, you have a keen eye on the problem, not only pointed out the disadvantages of the indifference and perfunctory service window staff, but also timely put forward the problem of pension and security for the elderly, which is worthy of our serious thinking and serious rectification." ”

Qi Tianxiang heard the worry from Ma Quanming's words, and he also knew that the incident in the labor service hall last time had attracted his attention, and he also understood what he would say when he came down. Qi Tianxiang didn't want to be too entangled in these aspects, let alone cause him to misunderstand it, so he listened patiently to him before he said slowly: "Are you worried that the three fires of my new official will burn your one-third of an acre!" In fact, it is not unnecessary to have such worries, the window unit, directly contact and serve the people, has a trembling work mentality, which is much better than the pampered and superior work attitude. At least you can understand who has supported yourself and who should be grateful to Dade, and you can't figure out these problems, no matter how good your work attitude is, it is fake, and without a sincere emotional foundation, serving the people can only be a slogan, and it can only be hung on the wall forever, and it is difficult to implement it into practical actions, and it is also difficult to maintain it for a long time. ”

As he spoke, looking at Ma Quanming's slightly embarrassed expression, Qi Tianxiang softened his tone and said lightly: "Maybe this has something to do with my work over the years, in the past few years in the discipline inspection and supervision department, I have seen too much of the arrogant and lascivious life of corrupt officials, and I have seen too much of the extravagance of ** cadres who are drunk and drunk and spend a lot of money, and look back at the lives of our ordinary people, especially because corrupt officials and profiteers trade power and money in an embarrassed way, colluding together to wantonly embezzle state-owned assets and public interests, resulting in laid-off and unemployed workers, their living conditions, Their future is really not optimistic, and their difficulties, every time they see or hear, are not just worried, but sad, some of these problems are left over from history, some are caused by decision-making mistakes, and more are **, all of which are placed in front of us, and we need to solve them sincerely and seriously, because we are the people's government and the people's backer. ”

"Secretary Qi has a deep understanding, and I have also heard that you have a deep affection for the ordinary people, which is not only that your consciousness and emotions are always with the masses, but also the height of your view." Ma Quanming was infected by Qi Tianxiang's words, although he heard a lot of such words, and he would talk about them from time to time, but from Qi Tianxiang's way of speaking, especially the language atmosphere created, there was a sense of truth, so his feelings were also sincere, "These are all comrades who do our specific work, we should think about it seriously, and we need to implement it seriously." ”

"Don't put a high hat on me, the environment in which we grew up is basically the same, from school to institution, the only difference is that I have been in the college for a longer time, but I grew up in the factory since I was a child, and I can't forget those fathers who worked day and night, they have a very low income, make extraordinary contributions, and endure both material and spiritual difficulties for the accumulation and construction of the country, and now they are old, but the society cannot forget them, and the use of social wealth cannot ignore them, let alone artificially abandon them."

The more Qi Tianxiang spoke, the more excited he became, but he quickly regained his senses, looked at Ma Quanming and said with a smile: "Since you came here today, let's not talk about responsibility, nor about right or wrong, these will be said slowly in the future." Now let's talk about the start and implementation of this work, since you are responsible for Zhu Lin and their Federation of Trade Unions, you are classmates and good friends for many years, and it should be more convenient in terms of coordination and overall operation. In the near future, the focus of their side is to sort out the remaining problems and make every effort to solve the plight of retired model workers and advanced workers, which is the responsibility and obligation of the trade union, but a larger range of assistance is not something that mass organizations such as trade unions can deal with, and their sources of funding, especially in the aspect of socialized services, are difficult to carry out in large areas and depth, so they need the overall operation of government departments, especially Mayor Youma. ”

"It's my job, and I can't shirk it." Ma Quanming wanted to say something, but when he thought about it, he didn't know how to say it, so he had to express an attitude briefly, because he knew very well that in Qi Tianxiang's mind, what was needed was not determination, but real action, or effect, after all, he was not very familiar, he didn't have much contact, and it would backfire if he said too much, so he could only slowly find another opportunity, today's waiting itself shows his attitude, and how to look at it is Qi Tianxiang's matter.

"It's hard for you to come here today, and it's so early, in fact, if you don't come, I'm going to communicate with you in a few days." Qi Tianxiang fully understood Ma Quanming's thoughts and the meaning he wanted to convey from Ma Quanming's demeanor, so he did not hide his attitude, and said gently: "Labor and social security are not trivial matters, and we cannot take them lightly, let's work together to find a way to do a good job in this matter that benefits the country and the people." ”

Qi Tianxiang knew that there might be a lot of such meetings or conversations in the future, maybe it was just a simple work exchange, or maybe there was a deeper meaning. As the deputy mayor in charge of the city government, there are very few opportunities for communication or contact, and apart from specific work arrangements, there are even fewer when they can sit together. can come over, there are no more than two situations, either pay special attention to the impression of the new secretary, or not be treated by the mayor of housing construction, Ma Quanming belongs to the former, with a deep sense of temptation. No matter what kind of situation it is, there is no reason to push it out, let alone the time to divide the camp.

Seeing Qi Tianxiang say this, Ma Quanming seemed to have achieved his goal, stood up with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "This early in the morning, you are also very busy, so I won't delay your time much." ”

"It's okay, there's still a lot to say, let's take the time to communicate slowly!" Qi Tianxiang also stood up, looked at Ma Quanming seriously, and said as if unintentionally: "Let's see when we have time, let's sit down with Chairman Zhu." ”

Qi Tianxiang sent Ma Quanming to the door of the office, smiled slightly and watched him turn away, and then slowly returned to the room, very satisfied with his tepid performance, and Ma Quanming also fully understood what he meant, and it was up to him to grasp the opportunity.

Just as he was thinking, the phone on the desk rang, Qi Tianxiang walked over quickly, slowly picked up the microphone, and immediately there was hearty laughter and a rough voice from inside.

"Hehe, calling so early won't affect you, it's hard to catch you these days." Fang Jianshe smiled and joked, and seemed to be in a good mood, "I know that your Secretary Qi has a habit of arriving early, and I thought about making a phone call to try, but I didn't expect it to be accurate." ”

"The stupid bird flies first! Isn't there a saying, early birds get worms! Qi Tianxiang turned his head and glanced at the wall clock on the wall, there were still a few minutes before the start of work, it seemed that the house construction was also prepared, so he smiled and responded: "Didn't your old buddy come very early!" ”

"Secretary Qi calls himself a stupid bird, and I have to get up earlier in my old house, otherwise the insects that get up early will be eaten by you, and I won't just wait to starve to death." Fang Jianshe still smiled heartily in a hearty manner, and his words were full of affection and care: "You are tired of running around these days, and you can't work such a hot day, you must pay attention to the combination of work and rest!" Only when you have a degree of relaxation can you be at ease! ”

"Thank you old man for the warning, I can't help it! Desperately, you have to get familiar with the environment as soon as possible, integrate into it as soon as possible, and you can't lag behind! Qi Tianxiang understood the meaning of Fang Jianjian's words very well, and he could faintly hear the sour meaning. The visits made a few days ago and the two-day symposium, although they were requested not to publicize or report in advance, were only for the public, and the news that kept coming back, together with the praise or praise of the old leaders and old comrades, is believed to fill the ears of the housing construction. Therefore, Qi Tianxiang's words were a little more subtle, "It's also a task to complete, and it's not okay if you don't make up for this lesson!" ”

"That's what I said, your Secretary Qi has always acted positively and prudently, and if you don't find out the situation, you are not sure!" Fang Jianshe continued to go around in circles, and seemed to be calculating the timing and proportion of the cut-in. It didn't take long for Qi Tianxiang to fully integrate into the officialdom of Hezhou, and first of all, he received praise and recognition from the old leader, which was something that Fang Jianshe never thought of anyway, thinking that it was a matter of the situation, but he didn't expect Qi Tianxiang to do it so seriously, and so thoroughly, and got an unexpected effect. It was so easy to steal the limelight, Qi Tianxiang got it so easily, it was indeed unexpected by the construction of the house, and it also made Qi Tianxiang a little more careful about his style.

"Mayor Fang called so early, he wouldn't just care about the whereabouts of my stupid bird!" Qi Tianxiang heard the meaning of Fang Jianjian's words, and roughly knew what he was going to say, so he simply picked it up and asked, "Something to say?" I'm listening. ”

"It's nothing, it's just a special trip to give you advice." Qi Tianxiang asked clearly, and the construction of the house no longer went around, and said bluntly: "It seems that Secretary Qi is still not very confident about the work and ability of our municipal government!" ”

"Oh, what do you mean by that? Attract your old buddy to come to Xingshi early in the morning to ask about the guilt! Qi Tianxiang followed Fang Jianjian's tone, said as easily as possible, and wittily ridiculed not only to dilute the seriousness of the topic, but also to dilute the sharp questions as much as possible, after all, they are all tentative to find out, and the way of communication seems to be more important to the topic itself.

"The affairs of model workers and advanced workers should be within the scope of labor security, Vice Mayor Ma Quanming is in charge of this work, he should do a good job, do it in place, if he doesn't do it well, he should whip him and urge him to do a good job in his part, how can he let the Federation of Trade Unions do these things?" As Fang Jianshe spoke, he seemed to feel a little ruthless, and invisibly covered Qi Tianxiang, so he changed his tone and said: "In fact, no matter who takes the general, these things themselves should be grasped and grasped well, especially the follow-up measures must keep up, and it must become a popular project that benefits the majority of old comrades, and it cannot just be a matter of a few model workers and advanced workers getting benefits, so it will deviate from the original intention." ”

"Mayor Fang is far-sighted, and he immediately saw the significance of this work, and quickly thought of follow-up measures, and rose to the height of the people's project, which is really a little bit of a vision!" Qi Tianxiang heard the relaxation of Fang Jianjian's tone, so he simply sent a big high hat over, and said sincerely: "Where did I think so much at that time, I just instinctively thought that the honorary title of model worker and advanced worker was awarded by their Federation of Trade Unions, and they are the mother's family of the majority of workers. ”

Qi Tianxiang's high hat, especially the reasonable explanation, made the housing construction have no basis for criticism, and he took the initiative to find a step down, "Secretary Qi's consideration is thorough and meticulous, and it has strong political significance, but we should also take this incident as an opportunity to urge Ma Quanming and Zhu Lin to coordinate together and come up with a perfect plan to completely solve the problem of pension and service for the elderly after aging." ”

"That's how it should be, let the two of them take the lead, coordinate with relevant departments, come up with a solution as soon as possible, and then let's have another meeting." Qi Tianxiang thought for a while, said slowly, and seemed to be passing a signal to end the conversation like Fang Jianjian, Fang Jianshe didn't say anything more, and hung up the phone after a few words of greeting.

Putting down Fang Jianjian's phone, Qi Tianxiang leaned back on the high-backed chair, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought, Ma Quanming's arrival was not strange, and it was even easy to understand, and Fang Jianjian's phone call was a little intriguing. The simple understanding is that he is dissatisfied with the way he handled this matter, and it seems that such a matter should be handed over to the city government as a matter of course, at least until the city government kicks the ball back to the municipal party committee, and then hand it over to the federation of trade unions to take over, which is not only reasonable, but also in accordance with the rules. A deeper meaning is that he is dissatisfied or worried about his interference in the substantive work of the municipal government, and he not only personally inquired about the issue of labor security in the municipal government, but also easily handed over this matter to the Federation of Trade Unions, that is, left it in the municipal party committee to deal with. And there is no decision-making power.

The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, Qi Tianxiang suddenly thought of this, and couldn't help but feel a faint irritability in his heart, and he also knew that these were not caused by the weather, let alone the temperature in the room, but the dissatisfaction or blame contained in the phone call just now. For such a problem, Qi Tianxiang did not think about it so deeply, nor did he want to think too much, he had no intention of seizing power, and he was not willing to participate too much in decision-making and decision-making in the economic field. As the number one leader of the municipal party committee, it is enough to grasp the direction and control the overall situation, but if I think like this, I can't stop the control of rights in housing construction and the worry about his seizure of power.
