Seeing Qi Tianxiang's eloquent expression, Lin Dongsheng suddenly felt that he had been tricked, and he was fooled by the professional terms he was talking about, in front of this governor, who was nearly ten years younger than himself and whose position was lower than himself, he was inadvertently easily deceived, this feeling was really not better.

Although there were only the two of them in the small restaurant, in Lin Dongsheng's opinion, Qi Tianxiang's performance was really unacceptable, and he suddenly felt that his advantage was gradually disappearing, and the balance of power and prestige was also quietly undergoing subtle changes.

This feeling has never been felt before, but today it strongly surged into Lin Dongsheng's heart. In his eyes, Qi Tianxiang is a knowledgeable, thoughtful, capable, and at the same time a sensitive, meticulous, upright, and kind young cadre, with firm beliefs, persistent beliefs, and a weak heart, an idealist, sometimes even immature and simple.

Such a view is slowly taking shape in Lin Dongsheng's heart, the beginning of the change or from which conversation a few years ago, Qi Tianxiang, as the secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, found a serious financial crisis of the group when investigating the corruption and financial problems of Hezhou Heavy Machinery Group, and faced with the rupture of the capital chain that may have a serious chain reaction at any time, as well as overdue loans and defaults. Qi Tianxiang took the initiative to find himself to exchange views, and used his skilled financial knowledge and skills to resolve possible crises in a hurry, and creatively launched an advantageous project capital package, which not only enabled a large number of projects in Hohai Province to raise funds, but also enabled Lin Dongsheng to get rid of a huge predicament.

But at that time, Lin Dongsheng did not think that Qi Tianxiang was helping him, but intuitively felt that it was a premeditation, a conspiracy from Zhao Haonan and Zheng Ming, trying to pull him into the complicated case of Hezhou Heavy Machinery Group, in the name of investigating and prosecuting corruption cases, interfering with and hindering the development of state-owned enterprises, so as to disrupt the economy of Hehai, cause the inertia of the economic trend to decline, and directly threaten the position and existence of Lin Dongsheng as the governor.

This feeling has stubbornly existed for a long time, and the intuitive impression is that Qi Tianxiang is the pawn who implements this plan, and he is a gunner who works in the front office, which is also Qi Tianxiang's initial impression of him.

In Lin Dongsheng's view, Qi Tianxiang is a typical representative of learning and excellence, climbing to support the powerful, and like all the children of the powerful, using nepotism to get some political capital from officialdom, continuing and establishing a more stable interest alliance, and obtaining more benefits for the group and the group. The identity of the governor's son-in-law is enough to prove this, and it is just right to parachute into Hehai Province after Yan Bonian stepped down from the post of governor.

The son-in-law of the former governor, the student in charge of the deputy secretary, and the proud rookie of the secretary of the provincial party committee, were unusually spicy when he made a move, and on the eve of taking office as secretary of the provincial discipline inspection commission, in a small plain county, he cut off the career prospects of a vice governor, three department-level cadres, and a large number of department-level cadres. Whether it is the technique or the strategy, it does not look like the handiwork of a fledgling young cadre.

Soon after becoming the secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, he was strongly promoted by Zhao Haonan to serve as the full-time deputy leader of the Provincial Leading Group for Deep Reform, and his authority and ranking were directly in the city secretaries, mayors, directors of the provincial government, and even members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and vice governors. This kind of way of repaying the favor is too old-fashioned and too lacking in novelty, but Lin Dongsheng has no good way to intervene, after all, where is the matter of the provincial party committee, as the governor, he is beyond the reach of the dust, so he can only watch coldly, vigilant against the infringement of his rights.

With that in-depth conversation, and the subsequent dramatic reversal of the situation, especially after the overall collapse of Huayi City's officialdom, Qi Tianxiang's approach, as well as in dealing with the corruption problem of Hezhou Heavy Machinery Group, especially the attitude towards the former star entrepreneur Tian Weiren, Lin Dongsheng's feelings towards Qi Tianxiang have changed. I sincerely feel that although Qi Tianxiang is young, he has a far-sighted vision for doing things, and he is very sincere and benevolent, which is a rare quality in officialdom today. At the same time, I also deeply felt that Qi Tianxiang had the ability and potential, and this feeling became clearer and more obvious with the passage of time, especially after Lin Dongsheng took charge of the work of the provincial party committee, and unconsciously cultivated Qi Tianxiang as a follow-up cadre, and even as his successor.

Although he was displeased, Lin Dongsheng also had to admire Qi Tianxiang's wit and knowledge, as a young cadre of them, it is not surprising that they have a wealth of professional knowledge, but like Qi Tianxiang, astronomy and geography, social industry, all kinds of industries, have some understanding, and there are really not many people who have dabbled in it. This is not only Qi Tianxiang's own advantage, but also the characteristics that Lin Dongsheng needs him to have, after all, the successor he chooses should have a comprehensive vision and knowledge level than himself, and he must have outstanding abilities than his own generation, which is a rare good thing, and it is also an opportunity that cannot be sought.

Thinking of this, Lin Dongsheng felt a lot relieved in his heart, and his unhappiness and dissatisfaction gradually disappeared, but he still glared at Qi Tianxiang unhappily, and said seriously: "Are you going to finish this bottle of wine before you start talking about business, or do you want to wait until I am full of wine and food and I am confused?" ”

Lin Dongsheng's instantaneous expression change was keenly caught in Qi Tianxiang's eyes, and he was suddenly a little nervous and a little remorseful, and he got carried away was his own performance just now, and the meaning of flaunting was too obvious, especially the overly detailed description of the vintage and technical process of the wine, which made Lin Dongsheng feel fooled and deceived. This is an unforgivable mistake for a young cadre, which not only directly offends Lin Dongsheng's dignity as an elder, but also directly challenges the authority of the provincial party secretary, and the consequences are not just contempt or frivolity, but a more serious threat and impact.

Just as Qi Tianxiang was quickly thinking about what methods and words to adopt to save his impression as much as possible, when he heard Lin Dongsheng's question, although it sounded full of dissatisfaction and majesty, he still clearly felt the gentle hint in his words, as well as Kuanren's mood. Not only was there a burst of relaxation in my heart, but I also had more admiration for Lin Dongsheng's virtuous and tolerant mind, and his eyes were full of gratitude to Lin Dongsheng, but his mouth was full of laughter and said: "Such a good wine, I try so hard to sell the pie, you have listened patiently for so long, why don't you let me taste it again, give me the forage so that I can recuperate!" ”

The change in Qi Tianxiang's expression did not escape Lin Dongsheng's eyes, seeing the uneasy and nervous look on Qi Tianxiang's face, as well as a look of some remorse, Lin Dongsheng felt very relieved in his heart, and was very happy with Qi Tianxiang's keen feelings, listening to Qi Tianxiang's applause and laughter easily, and said slowly and quietly: "Then you can taste it slowly!" I'll squint for a moment, and then call me when you're done. ”

"Don't! If you say that, you might as well just issue an eviction order and blast me out! Qi Tianxiang looked at Lin Dongsheng, continued to say with a hippie smile, and exaggeratedly picked up the wine glass and poured the wine into his mouth, and said hurriedly: "Let me eat some food, and then I will start reporting." ”

"Our province has outstanding geographical advantages, along the coast, near the border, and close to the capital. The cultural tradition is strong, the civilization is inherited, especially the old revolutionary base area has a typical and leading position. The regional economy and ecology are diversified, including the blue ocean economy, the vast plain and hilly economy, and the mountainous forest economy. The industrial categories are complete, especially the state-owned machinery enterprises and equipment manufacturing industry are strong, and the private economy and private economy have developed rapidly and steadily, which has played an obvious role in stabilizing society and boosting the economy. In the metaphor of the so-called troika of the modern economic template, our exports, investment and consumption are all showing a good momentum of balanced development. Qi Tianxiang kept saying in his mouth, and his hands were also busy pouring himself a drink, but his eyes looking at Lin Dongsheng were serious and serious, and he said slowly after being busy together: "After the development of reform and opening up, especially the unremitting efforts of the previous provincial party committee and provincial government, the economic volume and scale of our province have reached an unprecedented height, especially the infrastructure construction of transportation, commerce, logistics, etc., which has a strong forward-looking and late-mover advantage. In the entire northern region, we can not exaggerate to say that our competitiveness and exemplary role are incomparable to those of any northern province, and they cannot be underestimated. ”

Lin Dongsheng leaned his body on the back of the chair, patiently listened to Qi Tianxiang's tirade, and watched him busy with self-pouring, and finally waited for him to finish before he looked at Qi Tianxiang and said, "I'm a newcomer, I don't understand anything, do you need to take the trouble to introduce me to the basic situation of Hehai Province?" Don't think I don't know what you're carrying in your heart, pick up the important ones and be concise, otherwise another bottle of wine won't be enough for you to pour yourself. ”

"The rat pulls the wooden shovel, and the big head is still behind! The grass snake gray line, stretching for thousands of miles, speaks and talks, and tells a grand blueprint. I haven't heard people say, a hemp rope, don't look at the details, pull and look at it first, who knows if it will come out of a cow or a bunch of hemp in the end! Qi Tianxiang still poured the wine unhurriedly, and said with a poor mouth: "Since you invite guests to dinner, don't be afraid of big-bellied people, let alone invite people to drink." I am not going to tell you about the situation, but to test how much I know about the situation in Ho Hai Province. Please be calm and get down to business. ”

"The mouse pulls the wooden shovel, a thin hemp rope, and you can figure out these metaphors, is it the sublimation and play of the theory!" Lin Dongsheng couldn't help but laugh at Qi Tianxiang's wit and sophistry, glared at him dissatisfiedly, and said: "What kind of consequences will the combination of historical nihilism and the lack of realistic directional goals have?" Either the collective unconscious or it leads to anarchism, this is the truth that the great teacher has repeatedly demonstrated in his writings. ”
