Qi Tianxiang watched Xiao Zhang pass his words to Mao Zhigang as they were, then turned to Zhou Tong and said with a slight smile: "The reception leader, in the minds of some local officials, is always more important than the interests of the people, and he doesn't ask himself, think about it seriously, who gives him power and who should really be responsible for." ”

"It's no wonder that people are making a lot of fanfare, the dignified governor came to San'in City, what a big thing is this, what can be more important than this?" Zhou Tong smiled and echoed Qi Tianxiang's words, and said slowly: "What's more, in the more than half a year since you took office, you have gone to the prefecture and grassroots a lot, but you have walked around Shanyin City several times, can you not make people anxious?" It is estimated that this is not only Mao Zhigang's mind, but also Secretary Tao Ran's heart disease. ”

"Only the top, only the officials, not only the bottom, not only the people, this kind of officialdom does not change, serving the people, ruling for the people will always be just an empty word, hanging on the wall can be, it will never become the governing concept and action, and it will not enter the hearts of some officials at all." Qi Tianxiang said with emotion, and then said simply: "Don't give them this opportunity to Qu Ying, let's feed our stomachs in the front service area, and then go straight to Guishui County." ”

Zhou Tong nodded, and said with a smile: "If you don't give people the opportunity to receive them, it won't be difficult to do it now, but if you don't give people the opportunity to welcome them, I'm afraid it's more difficult." Counting our itinerary, it is estimated that people have been waiting at the exit of the Sanyin City Expressway for the time to call, or they are almost at the bottom of the mouth, and the meal can not eat them, so we will not get off the highway from Sanyin City! In this way, we won't be able to get to Guishui County anyway, which is a problem for our little Wang. ”

"What you say is very reasonable, but there are so many things here, and where is the waste of time to go to the suburbs to wait, what will the people think?" Qi Tianxiang was still a little angry, thought for a while and said: "It seems that it is useless to just say it, the provincial government should emphasize it in the next document and change this atmosphere." ”

Zhou Tong looked at Qi Tianxiang slowly, and said with a smile: "Such a document should be issued by the provincial party committee, and the provincial government can only emphasize the reception standards and specifications, and it is inappropriate to say too much." After all, not all leading cadres have such an understanding and consciousness as yours, and talking too much has made the upper and lower levels at a loss. ”

Qi Tianxiang looked at Zhou Tong gently, very touched by his kind reminder, it is difficult to put an end to the reason for this kind of ushering in, in addition to the following song to welcome, the more important factor is that some leading cadres care about the empty alleys of the people, the scene of welcoming the road, although they dare not expect the loess mat road, clean water sprinkled on the street, but in their hearts they are looking forward to this grandeur, in order to reflect the official authority. From the specifications and courtesies of the grassroots reception, I also feel the treatment and sincerity, and it seems that the glitz that cannot be obtained in the provincial capital can be enjoyed or made up for at the grassroots level.

"The upper part is good, and the lower part will tend to be inflammatory, the so-called royal waist is good, and the palace maid is starving to death!" Qi Tianxiang also seemed to know the reason and crux very well, and sighed helplessly and sighed: "I don't know that prosperity is followed by prosperity and decline, after the noise, everything is silent, there is always a reason for reincarnation, and the effect without cause is always difficult to last." ”

Zhou Tong glanced at Qi Tianxiang deeply, and did not answer again, knowing that if such a topic continued, in addition to emotion, it was anger, and there would not be too many good results.

Qi Tianxiang is now in the early stage of understanding and perception, many things that he didn't care about in the past, now as he gradually walks to the center of the stage, it becomes clear and urgent, and the freshness and contradictions are entangled together, both the magnification and tension of the power in the hands, and the vigilance and restraint of controlling the spread of power. In the past, as a department leader, it was conscious and necessary to do it yourself, and it was also perfect, but now you need to standardize the behavior of others while doing it yourself.

He now needs to establish rules, and when his position reaches a certain level, it is no longer the goal to do a good job of himself, and it is urgent and necessary to set standards and establish rules.

These need to be understood by himself, to slowly straighten out, no one can show him the way, let alone help him to do it, the power that comes with the position does not allow the intervention of external forces, can only be perceived by himself. Zhou Tong is very clear about this, and he also understands what he should do. That is to let Qi Tianxiang feel and anger himself, slowly sharpen, slowly adapt, and when the sense of power gradually fades into an invisible internal force, he will be at peace.

The silence in the car was restored, Zhou Tong walked to the front row and sat down, directing Xiao Wang to enter the service area, compared to Qi Tianxiang's resentment and emotion, it was more important to solve the problem of eating at this time.

The medium-sized bus drove into the service area and slowly stopped outside the restaurant, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wang took the lead to get off the bus and go to the restaurant to arrange, Zhou Tong accompanied Qi Tianxiang to get off the car, stretched his body beside the car, and waited for Xiao Zhang to arrange it later.

Because the lunch time had already passed, there were not many vehicles and people resting in the service area, and there were not many people in the restaurant, Qi Tianxiang and Zhou Tong followed Xiao Zhang into the restaurant, found a table at random and sat down, and soon Xiao Wang brought two bowls of steaming noodles with a tray, and placed them in front of Qi Tianxiang and Zhou Tong with Xiao Zhang, and then the two quietly walked to the nearby table and sat down and began to eat.

There are no superfluous words, and there is no language exchange, everything seems so tacit and orderly, but it is the result of long-term cooperation. Qi Tianxiang and Zhou Tong knew very well in their hearts what Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang would do during the time they were waiting next to the car, because they were accompanied by Zhou Tong, Xiao Zhang could accompany Xiao Wang to do something, and without Zhou Tong accompaniment, Xiao Zhang could not leave Qi Tianxiang's side.

This is the safety and security work, which seems to be invisible, but it has strict regulatory requirements. Xiao Wang is not only the driver, but also Qi Tianxiang's security guard, responsible for Qi Tianxiang's safety and security duties, every place, there is always a prior inspection of the environment and activity area, to determine the safety before inviting Qi Tianxiang to enter, whether it is a hotel, or a hotel, without Xiao Wang's early inspection is not allowed to enter.

Xiao Zhang is a secretary, internal health and life service are his other jobs, and arranging Qi Tianxiang's diet and daily life is his job responsibility, which are all jobs that must be done. Originally, these things had to be done by a special person, and they were also security requirements that Qi Tianxiang had when he was a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. Qi Tianxiang is afraid of trouble, there is no other security guard and life secretary, these jobs are in charge of Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang, because it is more special and alternative, Qi Tianxiang tried his best to cooperate, and did not make any extraneous branches, so he has formed a habit over the years, and even very tacit and skilled.

Qi Tianxiang's life is very simple, there are no special requirements for diet, and it is also strive to be simple and simple, especially when dealing with it temporarily, even more so, rice, noodles, buns can be eaten, as long as you can eat a full stomach, there is really no condition, instant noodles or biscuits can also be. In short, the principle is to be good for work, just save time.

Like this, the service area is temporarily rested, a bowl of noodles is a lot of time to deal with, and it feels natural when you get used to it, not only Qi Tianxiang feels natural, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wang arrange it, but also feel natural, there is no need to ask Qi Tianxiang's opinion in advance, noodle soup soup is watery, hot and easy to digest, simple and fast, and comfortable, basically becoming a standard travel food.

Qi Tianxiang and Zhou Tong didn't communicate too much, they ate the noodles slowly, and they were also consciously waiting for Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wang, and they soon finished eating. Qi Tianxiang and Zhou Tong slowly got up, walked out of the restaurant, and walked slowly in the service area, as if they were travelers without distractions, but both of them knew in their hearts that behind this seemingly calm was the anxiety and anxiety of urgency, as well as the consideration of disaster emergency.

"Isn't it just a simple meal? It was solved in more than half an hour, big fish, big meat, big extravagance and a bowl of beef noodles, which one is more moisturizing and more useful for the needs of the stomach? After re-driving on the highway, Qi Tianxiang's mood was much better, but he still said to Zhou Tong angrily: "In fact, the problem of eating is the root of all red tape, and if this problem is solved, there is no need to deliberately emphasize the improvement of the party's style and political style, this is the bull's nose of the problem." ”

Zhou Tong looked at Qi Tianxiang's face and knew that he already had his own ideas, so he smiled slightly and echoed and said: "The official reception can be re-emphasized by the provincial government, adjust the standards in a timely manner, make great efforts to supervise and inspect a few times, and grasp a few typical treatments, and there will be certain results." ”

"This matter can be done in conjunction with the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, as the main work of the construction of the party's style of work and political style, the provincial government and the constituent institutions will work together to achieve results in the short term, and the institutional reform and streamlining work that will be launched immediately will form a whole." Qi Tianxiang said while thinking, then stopped talking, his eyes were fixed on Zhou Tong, and he said earnestly: "On the provincial government's side, how about you come to take charge?" ”

Qi Tianxiang's words came suddenly, which made Zhou Tong feel very surprised, and he quickly understood Qi Tianxiang's intentions, and his heart was instantly full of gratitude. Qi Tianxiang had hinted several times that he would give him a reasonable arrangement, which was actually one of the arrangements, and the intention was obvious.

The provincial government and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection have joined hands to rectify the atmosphere, this is a major event of the provincial government, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection is actually just cooperating, playing a deterrent role, the main work is linked to institutional reform, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection which side of Honghu must take the lead in participating, this has formed a provincial structure, the provincial government should be the lowest in this work should also be which vice governor, but Qi Tianxiang designated him as the secretary general of the government, the intention is very obvious, that is, to let him assume the main responsibility of the vice governor, and then form an established fact, paving the way for the implementation of the next step.

Before Qi Tianxiang became a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, he served as the full-time deputy head of the Provincial Leading Group for Deepening Reform, and listed many vice governors and Standing Committee members as the secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Knowing this, Zhou Tong was in a complicated mood, but he knew that this was not a formal conversation, and there was no need for hypocrisy, but it was still not okay not to express his position, so he looked at Qi Tianxiang deeply, and said as calmly as possible: "I obey the organizational arrangement, as long as the provincial government and you think I am competent, I will do my best." ”
