Another day, when he returned to the office and sat on the sofa, Qi Tianxiang felt that his mouth was dry, his throat and eyes seemed to be smoking, his whole body was hot, and he didn't want to move.

Xiao Zhang put the warm tea in front of Qi Tianxiang, watched him take it and took a few sips, then took it, turned back to the water dispenser and filled it with hot water, still gently placed it on the coffee table in front of him, and looked at him steadily. [Ran^Text^Library] []

"You go and take a rest, it'll be fine, you go!" Qi Tianxiang looked at Xiao Zhang and said with a slight smile: "I haven't been busy with you these days, it's really much harder than when I was in the Commission for Discipline Inspection!" ”

"What is this, you Secretary Qi doesn't feel tired, and I have no problem." Xiao Zhang smiled and said, "In addition, I am not busy with anything, Secretary General Yao is in contact with each other before and after." ”

"What I'm most satisfied with about you is this, not greedy for merit, not for profit, it's rare!" Qi Tianxiang looked at Xiao Zhang appreciatively and praised him without hesitation, "If you want to say that you are not tired, it is fake." But if you are tired now, you will be less tired in the future. ”

Seeing Xiao Zhang nodding silently, he glanced at his watch, thought for a while and said: "In the evening, I will be the east, treat you, Xiao Wang, call your daughter-in-law and children, it's the weekend, let's relax, and then you call your teacher Yan too, adults and children, let's have a good time." ”

"I won't be called at this big party, Secretary Qi is too partial!" Yao Ling walked in when she heard the sound, and protested unhappily: "This meritorious reward should also be for Yao Ling, you can't beat the monk after reciting the scriptures, and kill the donkey if you unload the mill!" ”

"When I spoke just now, I felt that the roots of my ears were hot, and I always felt as if I had missed something, but now I finally understand." Qi Tianxiang and Xiao Zhang looked at each other, deliberately lengthened their voices, and said with a smile: "It turns out that I didn't think of a good place to eat, let alone what to eat, it's a hundred secrets!" It seems that we will go to the Panorama Hotel for dinner in the evening, and the children will play among the flowers and green leaves, how happy it should be! ”

"If you don't bring such a bully, why go to the Panorama Hotel to eat!" Yao Ling walked quickly to Qi Tianxiang, looked at him with apricot eyes wide and disgusted, and then said sharply to the smiling Xiao Zhang: "Don't laugh, let alone laugh badly." ”

"This laugh is not allowed, I have heard that only the state officials need to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light the lamps, but I have never heard of not allowing laughter, and laughter is divided into good laughter and bad laughter, they all say that ugly girls are more strange, this beauty is more difficult to blame, if there is a suffix after this beauty, the secretary general of the beauty, it is even more something, right!" Xiao Zhang dragged his long voice, and said with a smile to Qi Tianxiang in a weird manner: "I can't be provoked, can't I still hide?" I'm going to inform Xiao Wang to go, and the whole family will gather in the evening. ”

Xiao Zhang said and quickly dodged Yao Ling's pink fist, smiled and opened the door and went out. Qi Tianxiang smiled and looked at Xiao Zhang and Yao Ling arguing, knowing that the two of them were making themselves happy, he felt very comfortable in his heart, looked at Yao Ling who was slowly approaching, and asked with a smile: "Which guardian saint of your family has time at night?" Let's go out for a meal. ”

"The secretary invites you to dinner, it's not a question of whether you have time, but whether you dare to come." Yao Ling smiled slightly and sneered: "They have recently had a big rectification, they have eaten and drunk less, there shouldn't be many things, I'll call him later." ”

Qi Tianxiang suddenly found that at some point, the dark green uniform short skirt that Yao Ling wore in the afternoon was replaced by an apricot yellow long skirt, which was suddenly much brighter and brighter, and the whole person seemed to be elegant and graceful. It seems that her office is stocked with a lot of clothes, such outfits are ready to be dressed when she gets off work, or on a date, or candlelight dinner with her sweetheart, from a serious and old-fashioned arena, a simple change, smoothly crossing into the warm myth of lang.

"Do you have an appointment in the evening?" Qi Tianxiang suddenly found that his gaze staring at Yao Ling was a little strange, and he hurriedly changed his tone and said, "If you have something, go and get busy, after work, it will be the world of you young people." ”

Yao Ling felt Qi Tianxiang's embarrassment, and immediately felt that she had made some mistakes today, she usually said goodbye to Qi Tianxiang's office before changing her clothes, maybe she was too tired today, maybe it was still a little hot, and she changed her clothes in a hurry before she remembered that she hadn't said goodbye yet, and she came over without careful consideration, so she blushed slightly, but she still explained naughtily: "If you don't have a date, you can't wear a little brighter, shouldn't young women be a beautiful scenery?" Isn't the colorful hue of the costume a way to dress up and complement the beautiful landscape? Isn't the old-fashioned scenery too bad? I don't take myself and the audience too seriously! ”

Qi Tianxiang was amused by Yao Ling's strong words, and quickly regained his natural demeanor, and praised with a smile: "It makes sense, and if you are worthy of yourself, you can be worthy of others." ”

In fact, Yao Ling's appearance is not very outstanding, at least by the standards of today's beauties, her figure is not angry enough, her measurements are not prominent enough, she can only be regarded as a decent professional woman, but she is tall and fair-skinned is enough, and she understands her advantages very well, whether it is professional wear or casual wear, she strives to highlight her slender figure and fair skin, and she keeps changing, which also makes her image more fresh.

Qi Tianxiang has a good impression of her, since he met her at dinner with Wang Jinlong at the Panorama Hotel a few years ago, her generous personality, straightforward and innocent personality, especially her naughty personality, is very much like a girl who will never grow up, and has an impulse to make people love and care. I couldn't help but think of the scene when I first met her a few days ago.

When Li Guoqiang took Yao Ling into Qi Tianxiang's office, Yao Ling pretended not to know Qi Tianxiang, looked restrained, and followed Li Guoqiang step by step, a superfluous action, without a superfluous word. When Li Guoqiang introduced Yao Ling to Qi Tianxiang, Qi Tianxiang's eyes lit up, and when he politely stretched out his hand and politely held Yao Ling's soft and boneless little hand, who knew that Yao Ling naughtily curled her orchid finger, and her little finger scratched Qi Tianxiang's palm a few times, but the expression on her face was natural and solemn, as if she was listening carefully to Qi Tianxiang's instructions.

"Comrade Xiaoyao, it's a pleasure to meet you." Qi Tianxiang quickly understood Yao Ling's intentions, said seriously and thoughtfully, turned to Li Guoqiang and said with a sigh: "Seeing them, I am really envious!" ”

"Yes! It's good to be young! Li Guoqiang praised from the bottom of his heart, and then added: "Xiaoyao is the youngest deputy secretary general of the General Office of our Municipal Party Committee, full of vitality, and very capable, and a good comrade. ”

After Li Guoqiang introduced herself, Yao Ling said seriously: "I am still young and I don't understand many things, I hope Secretary Qi will help me and advise more." ”

"Don't dare to teach, improve together, improve together." The hypocritical politeness made Qi Tianxiang also very unnatural, and he just hoped that it would end soon.

It wasn't until Li Guoqiang left with Yao Ling that Qi Tianxiang breathed a long sigh of relief, admiring Yao Ling's wit and naughtiness, and at the same time deepening his good impression of her.

Thinking of the scene of that meeting, and also thinking of Wang Jinlong, Qi Tianxiang couldn't help but say to Yao Ling: "You will call Jinlong later, see if he has anything to do at night, if he is fine, sit together, he has long been thinking about drinking my wine." ”

"Okay, I'll go call, and arrange the room by the way." Yao Ling nodded in agreement and turned around to leave.

"It's a hotel room, what a room." Qi Tianxiang looked at Yao Ling's back and hurriedly added.

"It's a hotel room! Is there any difference? Yao Ling turned around and stared at Qi Tianxiang knowingly, and made Qi Tianxiang blush for a while, and soon realized that her words embarrassed Qi Tianxiang, and her face was a little unnatural, and she smiled and said, "I really don't understand this." ”

"You, ghost elf, I really can't do anything about you." Qi Tianxiang smiled awkwardly, pointed at Yao Ling and said helplessly: "You must inform your little Qiao, don't go if he doesn't come." ”

"Don't worry, it's a trivial matter, and it can be done in minutes." Yao Ling made a naughty grimace at Qi Tianxiang, and her long skirt fluttered and left.

Qi Tianxiang looked at Yao Ling's back and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing. Since Yao Ling has followed him in the past few days, he has indeed made himself much more relaxed, Xiao Zhang's calm and cautious, Yao Ling's cheerfulness and liveliness, and Xiao Wang's taciturnity, form a good complement. When the car was dull, it was often Yao Ling who happily provoked the conversation, Xiao Zhang helped, Xiao Wang smiled, and the audience was only Qi Tianxiang alone. Three young people of the same age seem to have the same topics and discussions, and they can always find topics of interest, but they are very accurate in terms of proportion and heat, after all, the secretary is next to him, and it is not good to be too presumptuous.

Qi Tianxiang likes to listen to their jokes, and prefers them when they are arguing and teasing, it seems that he is much younger with them, as if he has returned to the happy time with the students in the academy. At that time, Qi Tianxiang was sunny and handsome, with witty language and witty words, and often unconsciously became the center of events or activities. After leaving the academy and entering the officialdom, especially in the relatively serious discipline inspection and supervision department, calmness has become a sign of maturity, and it has gradually converged a lot, but the lively and honest nature is always sprouting in my heart, but there is no suitable time to perform.

Qi Tianxiang rarely participates in their conversations, and even if he asks for his opinion, he smiles implicitly or is silent, and he does not participate in their topic discussions, because his position and identity, especially his understanding or opinion, as long as he says it, it has a qualitative meaning, which is too striking. He likes to listen to them and prefers the environment and atmosphere.

Yao Ling herself, frankly speaking, Qi Tianxiang likes it very much, but he only likes it, likes her frankness and understanding, likes her liveliness and intelligence, and her kind pranks from time to time, and makes no secret of his liking. But I know very well in my heart that there is no essential difference between this kind of liking and liking Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wang, they are all based on a kind of elder brother's care for younger brothers and sisters, and it is also based on love and appreciation as the bottom line.

For love, for **, Qi Tianxiang has his own moral standards and understanding, and it is a normal psychological and physiological reaction for the opposite sex to attract and appreciate each other, which denies these are not only hypocritical performances, but also unwilling. But like and appreciate and love and sex, there is still an essential difference, and even two things that have nothing to do with the wind and horses, which is a feeling with the garden flowers, no matter how beautiful the flowers in the garden are, it is just appreciation, just the pleasure after appreciation, but also the feeling of beauty, know how to appreciate, it is enough to have an eye to find beauty, any idea of trying to possess is a blasphemy and harm to beauty, and it is also disrespectful to oneself. **Everyone has it, but restraint or control** shows the difference between people and the difference in moral cultivation. A mature person, or a successful person, does not look at the amount of money he has, nor the number of beautiful women around him, but by his reaction when he loses these, or his attitude towards these things.

Qi Tianxiang thinks that he can clearly distinguish between these, and he also knows what his heart wants, and even in a sense, he is very proud of his situation. It can be said that he met the right person at the right time, and when he knew how to feel the most, he gained the truest and most beautiful love, these were all given to him by Yan Li, and Yan Li made him deeply understand, with Yan Li, there is everything. His arms and the most secret piece of pure land in his heart are only reserved for Yan Li, and Yan Li is only allowed to enter, this is his bottom line, and it is also the bottom line that he can abide by as a man and husband. Not only do you understand this, but I believe Yan Li also understands that with this mutual trust, it is enough.

Transferring Yao Ling to his side was actually not a deliberate arrangement. Qi Tianxiang knew this, and Li Guoqiang also understood that it was a helpless move.

On the first day of taking office, Qi Tianxiang felt very uncomfortable, and once talked to Li Guoqiang in good faith, but it had no practical effect. There is no welcome, but after entering the office every day, the first person to enter the door must be Li Guoqiang, holding a notebook in his hand, reporting today's work arrangements and important matters, and his departure every day is also ended under Li Guoqiang's eyes. The score of being on time and punctual is exactly the same, which makes Qi Tianxiang feel that there is always a pair of eyes looking at him, just like a spotlight on the stage, always enveloping himself in a huge aura. This feeling made Qi Tianxiang cramped, and it also made him feel very awkward, and it had never been seen in the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection for so many years, although the time was only a few days, it seemed to have been controlled for a long time.

Qi Tianxiang's comings and goings for a few days were all carried out under Li Guoqiang's arrangement, looking at Li Guoqiang's thin and busy figure, coming and going in a hurry, Qi Tianxiang's mood was very complicated, and he finally decided to have a good talk with him, which was the first job as the secretary of the municipal party committee and the first decision since taking office. Because Qi Tianxiang always believes that the quality of the working environment starts from the surrounding environment, he needs a relatively relaxed working environment, Li Guoqiang also needs, can not wait for the tacit understanding after the run-in, he has no time, and he does not have so much patience to wait.

"Lao Li, wait a minute." This moment finally began at the time Qi Tianxiang saw fit. When he got off work in the evening, after watching Xiao Zhang go downstairs with his briefcase, Qi Tianxiang stopped Li Guoqiang, who was about to go out, and said kindly: "Don't be busy walking, let's talk a few words." ”

Li Guoqiang looked at Qi Tianxiang suspiciously, he didn't know what he had to explain, and he felt something strange from the title. In the past, Qi Tianxiang called Secretary-General Li directly, or politely called Comrade Guoqiang, this is the first time that Lao Li is called, so after doubting, there is still a slight nervousness, it seems that there is a mistake in his work, which makes Qi Tianxiang dissatisfied, so that when everyone is away, he will solemnly put it forward. After nervously and quickly combing, Li Guoqiang did not feel anything wrong or omission, and even felt a little relieved, so he could only look at Qi Tianxiang in confusion, trying to find the answer in his calm expression.

"I'm sorry, I'm too careful for you, or we don't know enough about it, let's sit down and talk slowly." Qi Tianxiang smiled slightly and pointed to the sofa, motioned for Li Guoqiang to sit down, saw that Li Guoqiang refused to sit first, so he took the lead to sit down, and then waited for Li Guoqiang to sit down, picked up the cigarette on the coffee table, handed him one, lit the fire and took a deep breath, before slowly speaking, as if asking inadvertently: "The little grandson is in kindergarten this year!" ”

Qi Tianxiang's polite and thoughtful behavior, as well as inconsequential questions, made the confused Li Guoqiang even more confused, I don't know what he wants to say, let alone what will happen next, many years of office work experience, served countless leaders, especially as the secretary-general in the past few years, I feel skilled, so that he knows the habits of the leaders he serves, and also thinks that he has the mysteries and skills, but for a few days, he has never been able to see Qi Tianxiang's temperament, seemingly intimate conversation and smile, But it seems that there is a veil of things, and it is always incomprehensible. And the more I wanted to see it clearly, the more blurry and hazy it became, so I cheered up, and said with a wry smile with Qi Tianxiang's words: "It's more than three years old, and I've been in kindergarten for more than half a year." ”

"I remember that your son Li Bin works in the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, and his daughter-in-law is still from our Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and I participated in the wedding a few years ago as my mother's family!" Qi Tianxiang's reaction to Li Guoqiang seemed to have been expected for a long time, and he still said lightly: "The old sister-in-law is mainly responsible for taking care of her grandson now!" ”

"Yes! Now the little grandson is the leader of our family, the whole family is revolving around him, and his wife can be regarded as having something to do, either dancing in the square every day, or taking care of his grandson's affairs, and treating his grandson more than me. Li Guoqiang immediately danced when he talked about his grandson, as if his grandson was right in front of him, and then he wanted to realize something, looked at Qi Tianxiang and said tentatively: "Secretary Qi has something to say, just say it, I can bear it." ”

"What do I have to say, I envy you, my son is filial, my wife cares, and I have a grandson around my knees, and the joy of family is endless!" Qi Tianxiang seemed to be emotional, and praised sincerely, and then still said casually: "You should be fifty-five this year!" What a blessed man is that he has everything! ”

"I'm already going to eat fifty-six years old, and I'm old." Li Guoqiang finally understood what Qi Tianxiang was going to say, and couldn't help but feel a little gloomy, but he still asked a little unwillingly: "Isn't the matter of personnel arrangements only said next year, so soon?" ”

"Where do you want to go, what personnel arrangements, what are the things?" Li Guoqiang's question just conformed to Qi Tianxiang's train of thought, and he also avoided a lot of transitions, but he still raised his voice and said: "Besides, even if it is the organizational arrangement and personnel adjustment, it is also the business of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee and Lao Fan of the Municipal Party Committee. ”
