The atmosphere in the medium-sized bus instantly fell to the freezing point due to Qi Tianxiang's angry questioning and dissatisfaction, and fell into a terrible silence and freezing.

Qi Tianxiang's eyes turned to the window, staring at the speeding scenery for a long time, as if he was unwilling to give up every past tree and scenery, but it was difficult to calm down in his heart.

All the way are dripping rain, as gradually approaching Guishui County, I don't know when it slowly stopped, there is no interference of rain, the scenery outside the window seems a lot clearer, although the sky is still cloudy, but the brightness of the sky is still a little from the clouds, but also makes the mountain is no longer so general black and dark color, with a touch of bright color, thick dark green and bare ridges, there is still a relatively clear difference.

In fact, not long after passing through the city of San'in, the convoy entered the mountainous area, and the road became crooked, and the speed of the convoy slowed down significantly. The road seems to have been found among the mountains, and suddenly it spirals down to the bottom of the valley, and suddenly rises to the top of the mountain beam, and after passing through this mountain, and soon enters another mountain, it seems that it is impossible to go around, so that people can not see the scenery behind the distant mountains, and they cannot see the difference between the two mountains, as if they are just circling up and down, and the purpose of this trip is achieved.

Just walking around, looking out the window, from novelty to numbness, to exhaustion, a trace of deep doubt with the similarity of the scenery, from the heart of every newcomer to the mountain, that is, the spiraling mountain road, when will it end, when will the destination be reached.

Qi Tianxiang's eyes always looked out the window, because he knew that Qi Tianxiang was in a bad mood now, no one dared to say anything, let alone make too much noise, the carriage was dull and quiet, as if it was frozen. The solidified atmosphere also made the journey extraordinarily long and difficult, almost everyone seemed to be suffering, and they were also looking forward to the arrival of Guishui County soon, so as to end this unbearable journey.

Therefore, the medium-sized bus slowly circled up a mountain beam, and slowly circled to the other side of the mountain beam, and when a building came into view in the distance, although it looked very messy and thin from a high place, in the eyes of everyone, it was the most beautiful scenery that had been longed for. Although the expressions on their faces did not change too much, everyone's hearts were full of long breaths, secretly glad that the hovering had finally ended, and more importantly, the unbearable torment had ended.

The anticipation of the long journey, coupled with the relief after the depression, made the way down the mountain easy and fast, and soon reached the edge of the county seat, where the convoy slowly stopped in front of the crowd waiting on the side of the road.

The medium-sized bus stopped, but the people in the car didn't move, because Qi Tianxiang didn't mean to get up and get off, and the others didn't dare to get up, they were all waiting for Qi Tianxiang's expression, so they could adapt to the situation. Qi Tianxiang seemed to be settled, his eyes looked out of the window, without any expression on his face, ignoring everything that happened outside the window, and he didn't care about the expressions and thoughts of everyone in the carriage.

This was also the idea that Qi Tianxiang calmed down after the anger just now, and quickly figured out the following behaviors and practices. Since you pull down your face, you can't be too polite, you have to show some of the governor's domineering, which is also the prestige that must be in control of the situation, for the necessary occasions, gentleness and mellowness is cultivation, and for officialdom, power is the most effective means, and the method of embodying this means should be domineering, it should produce a self-centered magnetic field, and there should be some faces to make these grassroots members fearful. If necessary, you can even start from scratch, just have to look again.

After a short silence, Tao Ran took the lead in breaking the dullness, got up and opened the window beside him, and said coldly to the crowd under the car: "Nothing else to do?" Go straight to the hotel and where to talk about something. ”

Seeing the crowd outside the window disperse quickly, Tao Ran turned his face, glanced at Qi Tianxiang, and saw that he didn't say anything, so he smiled and said to Zhou Tong without saying anything: "Let's go to the hotel first, Governor Qi and you have also been in the car for so long, simply rest and listen to the comprehensive situation report in the county." ”

"It's okay to be in this way, the professionals brought by the director of the house and the work carried out, and the specific situation needs to be touched." Zhou Tong seemed to be saying to Tao Ran, but in fact, he was also hinting at what Qi Tianxiang was going to do next, "In addition, soon the party and government leaders of Qinghe City and Hezhong City will also come over, and there must be a unified coordination of the safe water supply along the Qinghe River Basin, so it's okay to understand the situation first!" ”

Zhou Tong's words reminded Qi Tianxiang, so that he slowly turned his face from the window to the carriage, glanced at everyone, and deliberately stayed on Tao Ran and Mao Zhigang's faces for a while, and then slowly said to Xiao Zhang: "You call Secretary Li and tell Secretary Lin that we have arrived." ”

After Qi Tianxiang finished speaking, he glanced at Zhou Tong, and then said, "Contact Comrade Luo Jian to find out where he is prepared." ”

Before Qi Tianxiang finished speaking, the convoy had slowly entered a compound and stopped in an orderly manner in front of a building. Qi Tianxiang stopped talking, looked at Mao Zhigang, who was sitting by the car door, hurriedly got out of the car, stood sideways by the car and waited for Qi Tianxiang, Tao Ran stood up, smiled slightly and made gestures, and asked Qi Tianxiang to get out of the car.

Qi Tianxiang did not hesitate at all, stood up slowly, got out of the car slowly, did not walk to the crowd standing not far away, but turned sideways, looked at the high-rise building in front of him more than ten floors, and quietly watched without speaking.

The courtyard is very large, very empty, a wide and tall high-rise building occupies less than half of the courtyard, it looks abrupt in the wide courtyard, and in the county town along the street not high buildings seen along the way, there is a feeling of standing out from the crowd, it looks very special, but also a little dazzling.

Qi Tianxiang glanced at it, withdrew his gaze, looked at Tao Ran who was standing beside him meaningfully, and then slowly walked out towards the standing crowd, with a casual demeanor, just like what Zhou Tong hinted at just now, no matter what kind of thoughts you have, you should try your best to control your emotions, and the necessary hypocrisy still has to go, otherwise the following work will be more troublesome.

Tao Ran watched Qi Tianxiang slowly walk towards the waiting crowd, so he hurriedly followed behind, walked in front of Qi Tianxiang one step ahead, and stretched out his finger to the nearest bald man as he walked, and said: "This is Han Zizai, secretary of the Guishui County Party Committee, a native of Guishui County, who knows the situation in the county better. ”

Tao Ran then pointed to another thin man and introduced to Qi Tianxiang: "This young cadre is Wang Tongjun, the magistrate of Guishui County, who graduated with a master's degree, majoring in urban construction and management, and has some ideas in his work. ”

Qi Tianxiang listened to Tao Ran's introduction, politely stretched out his hand to shake hands with Han Zizai and Wang Tongjun, looked at Tao Ran with a slight smile, interrupted his continued introduction, looked at the big and small officials standing in front of him gently, and said simply: "The other comrades will not be introduced one by one, let's get to know each other slowly!" ”

Qi Tianxiang spoke, his eyes turned to Han Zizai and Wang Tongjun, and said with a smile: "One is a native of the county party committee, and the other is a high-achieving student majoring in urban management, so don't waste time, first ask the two of you to introduce the situation in Guishui County!" ”

After Qi Tianxiang finished speaking, he turned straight away from the crowd, leaving the officials who were still in a daze, slowly walking from the parking lot to the building, and slowly walking up the steps.

That is, they were stunned for a moment, and soon everyone came to their senses, and they quickly followed, and walked up the steps with Qi Tianxiang. But despite the hectic, he was not flustered, and he still maintained the dignity and order of his position.

Tao Ran walked in the front, behind him were the cadres of the city, and then the officials of the county, everyone was shocked by Qi Tianxiang's seemingly gentle, but actually indifferent dismount, they all knew that Qi Tianxiang would have such dissatisfaction and seizures, but they didn't expect it to be in the greeting event that they had just met. The most obvious feeling is still Tao Ran, not only shocked, but trance, and even a chill in my heart.

Qi Tianxiang is not very familiar with him, but he has heard a lot about how to deal with people, although he has served as the secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, but the intellectual's self-cultivation and gentleness still label him as an elegant one. I don't usually see each other much, but I always smile gently, or quietly and peacefully, even if there is a time when my emotions are out of control, it will not be when we first met.

Today is a little different, from the moment we met, you can clearly feel Qi Tianxiang's dissatisfaction, the accident is a reason, but the more important reason is for the cadres of Shanyin City, what is the reason, Tao Ran has no answer, and it is impossible to have an answer. But severely reprimanding a prefectural and city cadre is something that has never happened as a provincial governor. The stern questions and fire-breathing eyes were not only aimed at Li Luobing, but also at himself, and they were directed at him, the secretary of the municipal party committee, so there was an ominous premonition in his heart, as if he felt that Qi Tianxiang's intentions were not good, and it was likely that he would be difficult to escape the catastrophe this time.

The accident that happened in Guishui County, when he was just reported to him, he didn't feel too much, but felt that the Guishui County Party Committee was making a fuss, although such a thing was rare, it was not a big deal, which year Guishui County did not come to a few flash floods, in his mind, even the first feeling was that Han Zizai was taking the opportunity to reach out to him to ask for money, such a thing happens every summer and autumn, and he is tired of it.

But then I felt something unusual, first Mao Zhigang reported by phone that Fang Jianshe had led the team from the province, and then received the news that Qi Tianxiang was coming over, so I felt that things were not so simple.
