"Hehe, let's not be so polite, let's say that we are colleagues far away, say closer, I am your successor, do you still need so much hypocrisy?" Looking at the unnatural look, Hong Hu took the lead in breaking the deadlock, took out a document bag he carried with him, handed it to Qi Tianxiang, and pretended to be relaxed: "I have some materials here, think about the old leader, and ask for some methods and ideas." ”

"This is hypocrisy! What an old leader, what a glance to ask for advice, your old man is not real. Qi Tianxiang took the document bag handed by Hong Hu with both hands, and said with a smile: "Let's take a look first, if you don't have a position to do anything, I don't dare to make an axe in business." ”

Looking at Qi Tianxiang buried his head in the materials and looking at it seriously, Hong Hu took a long breath, secretly glad that this step was quite safe.

Not only did Qi Tianxiang feel embarrassed, but in fact, Hong Hu's feeling was no better, and he was also tormented by face and emotions from time to time.

As the secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, it is possible to immerse himself in work, manage his own affairs, and reduce communication and contact with the outside world, but the department in charge of cadre discipline and behavior supervision does not contact or communicate with the provincial governor, but it is not so easy, or it is impossible to do it at all.

Qi Tianxiang could not take the initiative to communicate with him to ease the relationship, but Hong Hu could not, without the assistance and support of the provincial government, the work of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection would be much more difficult to carry out, and some of them would still not be able to get around.

To make way for Qi Tianxiang and finally leave the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to take up a post in Hezhou City, Hong Hu was not without ideas, and even the initial resistance was still very great, so that he did not really ease up for a long time.

For Qi Tianxiang, a foreign monk, although Hong Hu has a good impression, he still ignores it from the bottom of his bones, no matter what his origins are, and what kind of glorious past, his experience and ability are still the basic qualities of doing a good job in discipline inspection and supervision.

Hong Hu never doubted Qi Tianxiang's ability, let alone Qi Tianxiang's own quality, to be able to become an expert, without a certain amount of knowledge and hard work, it is absolutely impossible, but that is in the economic field, whether it is teaching or doing learning, there is a great distance from the discipline inspection work that requires excellent practical experience. The so-called interlacing is like separating mountains, this is the truth, not to mention that he is still a weak scholar, and it is not impossible to complete the transition between two different fields in the short term, but it is very difficult.

As the director of the Policy Research Office, Hong Hu did not feel the threat from Qi Tianxiang for a long time, and even did not feel his presence many times. Every day, he commutes to and from work on time, and when he comes to it, he buries his head in the data room and the case file room, neither goes to the office, nor does he participate too much in the meetings and activities of the discipline inspection commission organs, except for the meetings and activities that he must attend, he rarely speaks and performs, and seems to be independent of everyone.

However, because of his existence, the work of the Policy Research Office has become well organized, the management of materials and case files has become orderly, and it is always easy to mobilize what kind of waiting materials are needed to handle the case, and the auxiliary materials and some reports of the case files of the central and other provinces have been much more, and the level of organization and theory has also been significantly improved, which has been praised many times by Secretary Zhang, showing Qi Tianxiang's management ability and perspective.

However, this is at best only the achievements of the work of the department, and it is still different from the overall work of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, until Qi Tianxiang's temporary post is about to expire, and the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee talks with Hong Hu, so that Hong Hu understands, but the wood is already in the boat, and the situation is irreparable.

At this time, Hong Hu began to seriously examine the difference between himself and Qi Tianxiang, as an old discipline inspector, many years of experience, with rich experience in handling cases, and in the prime of life, it is the age of doing it, it is inevitable to ignore the existence of competitors, complacent and complacent, inevitably bring the impression of rigidity and conceit.

Qi Tianxiang is different, from the day he entered the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, he seemed to sink into the water, deliberately hiding his edge, and even having a close relationship with the high-level, just burying his head in familiarity with the situation, burying his head in his own work, no desire, or no threat. It's not just a strategy, it's an attitude.

This is where Hong Hu thinks he is inferior, and it is also the biggest difference between him and Qi Tianxiang. In fact, the final acceptance of reality and silent recognition is not only Qi Tianxiang's knowledge and ability, or the strong support behind him, but Qi Tianxiang's righteousness, courage and wisdom without hesitation.

At the beginning of his tenure, he went to Pingyuan County alone, and from a small county to a corruption moth at the provincial, municipal, and county levels, the incident not only shocked the whole province, but also affected the whole country. This is not only the shock of the incident itself, but also Qi Tianxiang's calmness and wit in the whole process, as well as the compassion shown in the aftermath of the incident, which is a highlight that is difficult to see in officialdom today.

In particular, in the investigation and handling of the major corruption case of Hezhou Heavy Machinery Group and the cliff-like nest case in Huayi City, Qi Tianxiang carried out discipline inspection and supervision work based on economic stability and development with a high degree of wisdom and flexible and diverse means, which won great praise and showed his overall situation and leadership skills.

Asking himself, Hong Hu felt that there was still a gap between his ability and vision and Qi Tianxiang, although his beliefs and beliefs were the same, but in terms of the method of dealing with the problem, the overall control and grasp, there was still a lack of it.

Although Hong Hu is still resentful and dissatisfied with the abdication and succession, as well as the current embarrassing age, he is also glad that it is because of his forbearance and silence that he has obtained his current position. Whether it is compensation or as it should be, one's performance determines the direction of the situation. It's not what you deserve, any superfluous expression is a kind of harm, and it's not just the face of others that hurts, but also your own future. Such examples abound, and the provincial government's Zhou Tong is a clear example, where the cruelty of officialdom lies in this, there are no absolute rules, but there are fundamental laws.

Especially watching Qi Tianxiang step by step towards a high position, Hong Hu's mentality is also slowly adjusting, admitting that the gap must be clear first, knowledge, ability, vision, and connections, Hong Hu has weighed them one by one. At the same time, he carefully judged his own positioning, and was also looking for opportunities to communicate with Qi Tianxiang, and observed Qi Tianxiang's attitude from time to time. After all, as the governor, he has more things, and he can do without his support, but he may not need his own interference too much, so it is very important to figure out Qi Tianxiang's attitude.

That's why there was a cautious temptation in the morning, as well as so many polite and greetings, and now it seems that this first step has finally been taken, and it depends on Qi Tianxiang's attitude.
