Facing Zhou Tong, Hao Han, Wang Jinlong and others who were standing at the door waiting quietly, Qi Tianxiang calmly instructed Zhou Tong: "You go and ask Vice Governor Xu Fang to come over!" ”

Seeing Zhou Tong turn around and leave, Qi Tianxiang retracted his gaze and said to Hao Han and the others: "Things have changed a little, let's all come and sit down first, wait for Vice Governor Xu to come over, let's briefly report the situation, and then arrange the following research work."

After Qi Tianxiang finished speaking, he turned around and returned to the conference room, walked to the sofa in the middle and sat down, calmly watching everyone rush in, and chose his seat according to his position and role.

Seeing Xu Fang hurriedly walking into the conference room, Qi Tianxiang stood up, pointed to the sofa beside him, and said to Xu Fang: "Please sit down first, let's ask Comrade Zhou Tong to introduce the situation of the emergency, and then make adjustments and arrangements." ”

Waiting for Xu Fang to nod and sit down slowly, Qi Tianxiang turned to Zhou Tong and signaled that he could start the introduction, and then slowly sat down, picked up the cigarette case on the coffee table in front of him, took out a cigarette and lit it, inhaled it slowly, calming his emotions.

After watching Qi Tianxiang slowly sit down and complete the action of taking a cigarette and lighting a cigarette, Zhou Tongcai said solemnly: "This morning, there was a serious landslide accident in the Shengli Coal Mine in Yishan County, Huayi City, and the specific casualties are not very clear now. Zhang Wanfu, vice governor of the provincial government in charge of production safety, has led relevant experts from safety supervision, coal supervision, development and Reform Commission, labor and social security, and civil affairs to the scene. That's all we know so far, and more is yet to be confirmed. ”

After Zhou Tong briefly briefed him on the situation, he turned to Xu Fang and said, "Considering that I may rush to Yishan County with Governor Qi, I called Wang Feng, Deputy Secretary-General of the provincial government, and he is already on his way over, and it is estimated that he will arrive soon." ”

After introducing all the circumstances, Zhou Tong's eyes looked at Qi Tianxiang, waiting for his further instructions. He knew that the introduction he made was just a transition, or a buffer, and Qi Tianxiang's next speech was the main purpose of this meeting.

Qi Tianxiang was very satisfied with Zhou Tong's conciseness, and also expressed satisfaction with his way of doing things, neatly pressed the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray, looked around at the people present, and said slowly: "Secretary Lin just now we talked on the phone, such a sudden disaster is very unexpected and very severe, so I can only apologize to inform everyone here that my investigation in Pingyuan County may be coming to an end, and Comrade Xu Fang will conduct the following research on my behalf." Let me highlight the specific requirements below. ”

"Comrade Xu Fang has rich experience in agriculture, although he has not been in our province for a long time, but in the original province in the south, he has been engaged in agricultural science and technology and leadership work for many years, and has accumulated a deep practical foundation." Qi Tianxiang glanced at Xu Fang and said to everyone: "I accompanied Comrade Xu Fang down this time, just to lead him the way, connect the agricultural production situation of our province with the southern agriculture he is familiar with, and give full play to his expertise in managing agricultural work, which is the purpose of my trip." ”

Qi Tianxiang looked at Xu Fang with a little apology, from Xu Fang's face, Qi Tianxiang easily read the look of disappointment, after all, being able to go deep into the grassroots with the provincial government is a great help to both agricultural work and Xu Fang himself. All localities and cities have attached great importance to it, accompanied by principal leaders, and this is a good situation for rural and agricultural work that are in weak links. It's a pity that after only going to two cities and only looking at the agricultural production of one county in detail, Qi Tianxiang ended his trip ahead of schedule, which cannot but be said to be a pity, and there will be no more such opportunities.

Knowing what Xu Fang was thinking, Qi Tianxiang's words paid more attention to maintaining Xu Fang's face, "It's a pity that the matter is urgent, and this kind of work can only end regrettably, please understand Comrade Xu Fang." However, such a form must continue, that is, accompanied by the principal leaders, each prefecture and city selects one or two representative agricultural forms, invites Comrade Xu Fang to look at them, and asks him to put forward his opinions and suggestions. ”

"Since Governor Qi has spoken to this extent, I should also say a few words." A trace of gratitude flashed in Xu Fang's eyes, he looked at Qi Tianxiang and said, then turned to the people in the conference room, lowered the speed of speech as much as possible, tried his best to speak the awkward southern accent clearly and understandably, and said slowly: "Governor Qi has a lot of things to do, and he is very busy, and it is already rare to ask him to take me to one or two places." Agriculture, rural areas, farmers this 'three rural' problem, related to local social stability and social situation, but in terms of efficiency and achievements, is the most difficult to obtain satisfactory results of the industry, Governor Qi this move is to practice the word, the new provincial government is to put the three rural issues, as an important work to implement, this gives me confidence, but also to the province's cadres and scientific and technological personnel engaged in agricultural work, especially the vast number of farmers with great hope, as long as we really pay attention to it, our goal will be achieved, the goal will be clear. ”

After Xu Fang finished expressing this meaning, he smiled slightly and said to Qi Tianxiang: "You have already said everything that should be ordered and explained, you better hurry up and hurry, there are still hundreds of kilometers to go, and it is hard enough." ”

"Okay, let's get here first, Comrade Zhou Tong and I will set off." Qi Tianxiang stood up, looked at Xu Fang, and then looked at Hao Han and explained: "You still start the research work as planned, you must be careful and meticulous to ensure that the research work is targeted and instructive." ”

Looking at Hao Han's serious nodding expression, Qi Tianxiang knew that she would arrange it, so he shook hands with Xu Fang vigorously, and then shook hands with Hao Han, Wang Jinlong, as well as Zhao Jianzhong, director of the Provincial Department of Agriculture, Tian Feng, secretary of the Pingyuan County Party Committee, Luo Jimin, the county magistrate, and Xiang Youzhi, and then walked out of the door with Zhou Tong quickly.

Xiao Wang had parked the car under the porch of the hotel, saw Qi Tianxiang walking out quickly, so he hurriedly opened the door of the back seat, asked Qi Tianxiang to get in the car and closed the door, quickly walked to the other side to open the door, asked Secretary General Zhou Tong to get in the car, and then quickly opened the cab door, started the car, and slowly drove out of the hotel compound and drove on the streets of Pingyuan County in the eyes of everyone to see them off.

Xiao Wang's movements are sharp and fast, with a handy posture, which shows that he is usually well-trained, and very skilled and professional.

After driving out of the city and the traffic flow decreased significantly, Xiao Wang slowly reported to Xiao Zhang beside him, and also reported to Qi Tianxiang: "I temporarily selected a car from the fleet in Qinghe City, and I don't know whose car it is, I am still not very familiar with the condition and maintenance status of the car, and the time is also tight, I will check the vehicle before we get on the highway in a while." Otherwise, I would not be at ease after running hundreds of kilometers. ”

"It's all your business, we don't have anything to say, you can do what you say." Xiao Zhang responded to Xiao Wang's words slowly, and said with a slight teasing: "As long as Governor Qi and Secretary-General Zhou are sent to their destination safely and safely." ”

Listening to the conversation between Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wang, Qi Tianxiang and Zhou Tong glanced at each other, and smiled knowingly, knowing that these two young people wanted to relieve the tense and depressing atmosphere in the car, after all, there is still such a long way to go, without a relatively relaxed atmosphere, this journey is difficult enough.

"When you get into Xiao Wang's car, you have to listen to him together, people hold the steering wheel and grasp the general direction!" Qi Tianxiang said to Zhou Tong with a slight smile, as if intentionally or unintentionally asked: "Among the four of us, apart from Xiao Wang, who else can drive, Old Zhou, will you?" ”

"Yes, yes, I have a driver's license, but I don't touch the car, and I'm basically in a state where I can drive the car away, and I really haven't tried to drive on the highway." Zhou informed Qi Tianxiang that he had the intention of adjusting the atmosphere, so he said slowly, then looked at Xiao Zhang in the front row, and asked seriously: "Fuwa should be able to drive, follow the leader, how can you do if you can't drive?" ”

Zhou Tong's words made the car neutral without a sound, and after a while, Xiao Zhang responded with a smile: "Secretary General Zhou is right, I can drive, specially trained, but I also have a little car, everything is done by the driver, and there is no opportunity for us to show it." ”

"Xiao Zhang was stunned just now, I didn't react, it's all Xiao Zhang, Xiao Zhang is used to it, and when he screams Fuwa, I really don't know who I'm calling." Qi Tianxiang laughed, looked at Zhou Tong and said: "Xiao Zhang has been following me for a few years, and he has always called Xiao Zhang, and he has really not called him by his full name, it seems that you are still careful and can call him by his full name." ”

"Don't be careful, let's follow the customs, otherwise I won't talk about Xiao Zhang, and everyone will not get used to it." Zhou Tong smiled slightly and said to Qi Tianxiang: "It's still like this in the organ, except for the position, it's Xiao Zhang, Lao Wang calls it that, and when the small character is called old, it becomes Lao Zhang, and other names just sound uncomfortable." ”

Qi Tianxiang knew that Zhou Tong was feeling, or just to enliven the atmosphere, in this car, in the journey down, silence was not seen by anyone, so he continued Zhou Tong's words: "This is still the embodiment of the official-oriented thinking, it seems that only with a position can you have face, otherwise you will be just a white person when you are old." In fact, this is also a poet who has been known as Du Fu since ancient times, and he must have the title of Du Gongbu. The old man of Zhishi, what else to call Hanlin, is nothing more than to let the family remember his most brilliant and proud position and title. To say that the school is better, in addition to the position, but also the identity of the teacher can be transitioned, and the title of the teacher is not divided into men and women, regardless of the old and young, and when it is called, it is full of respect and friendliness. ”

Qi Tianxiang's words were reasonable, which warmed up the atmosphere in the car and laid the foundation for the chat.
