sat and thought about it in a groggy way, until Xiao Zhang came in with Liang Zhixin and Wang Minglun, Qi Tianxiang seemed to be asleep, and it seemed that he was not asleep at all.

After a few casual greetings, Qi Tianxiang walked out of the room with Liang Zhixin and Wang Minglun, and he didn't want to delay for a moment, knowing that at this moment, several city leaders were waiting in a certain room in the restaurant, Qi Tianxiang didn't want others to wait too much, and he wasn't used to this.

Out of the room, in the elevator, out of the elevator, into the room, only this time into the private room of the restaurant, and it is one of many private rooms.

Entering the private room, the people who were waiting on the sofa in the leisure area hurriedly stood up, looking at Qi Tianxiang's arrival with a smile on their faces, waiting for him to approach and shake hands.

Qi Tianxiang walked over quickly, shook hands with Tao Ran, secretary of Shanyin City, Mao Zhigang, mayor, Xiao Shengli, secretary of the Laizhou Municipal Party Committee, and Xu Weicai, mayor of Laizhou, and shook hands one by one.

After the greetings, everyone gathered around Qi Tianxiang and sat on the main seat of the banquet table, and Qi Tianxiang also sat down unceremoniously, knowing that any modesty at this time was hypocritical and contrived, not only unnecessary, but also untimely and his identity.

After sitting down, Qi Tianxiang smiled and beckoned everyone to sit down, although it was casual, but it was not sloppy at all. In the host of Huayi City, Liang Zhixin and Wang Minglun naturally sat on the left and right sides of Qi Tianxiang, and the secretaries and mayors of Shanyin City and Laizhou City sat on both sides, and the seats opposite Qi Tianxiang were empty, which seemed random, but in fact they had profound implications.

According to the rules of the banquet in Ho Hai Province, the position of the guest of honor is opposite the vice-guest, or there is a way of sitting, which is the middle of the host's house, called the host, and the guest of honor and the vice-guest sit on both sides of the host according to the arrangement of left and right, and the vice-accompaniment opposite the host. This is the general banquet rule, and on an occasion like today, with the position of the governor of Qi Tianxiang Province, all cities are under his control, and no one has the courage to regard himself as the master and occupy the middle position of the master. Only according to the rules of sitting opposite the main and deputy guests, but the identity and status of Governor Qi Tianxiang, the positions of the deputy guests should be equal or not far apart, and the few people present do not have this level and qualifications, so they can only be empty.

Qi Tianxiang looked at the position behind everyone sitting down, smiled slightly and teased: "Fortunately, we are a seven-star gathering today, if it is a gathering of eight immortals, I really don't know how to sit in this position?" ”

"It's also easy to do, everyone gathers together in the center, and the problem is solved." Liang Zhixin looked at Qi Tianxiang with a smile and explained: "Our river and sea are the places where saints are educated, and they pay the most attention to etiquette rules. ”

"Cang Liao knows etiquette, and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing. This is the wisdom of ancient statesmen, and it is also the contribution of traditional culture to the development of civilization, but unfortunately not all people today can understand this. Qi Tianxiang glanced at Liang Zhixin meaningfully, and slowly said to everyone: "It is good to inherit the tradition, and it is even more valuable to learn from the past and the present, but it is fundamental to apply what you have learned, and it is wisdom to know the subtleties." ”

Qi Tianxiang spoke, and changed the topic with a smile: "Okay, let's not talk about this." Just now at the airport, I also told Secretary Liang that everyone is invited to come here, just for a short meeting, but to travel hundreds of kilometers, there is no point to say that it is impossible to say, so I asked Secretary Liang to convey my meaning, please have a meal, express your heart. ”

"Governor Qi is really polite, we are doing grassroots work, and we are not always at the call of the organization and leadership, how can there be so many words!" Tao Ran, secretary of the Shanyin Municipal Party Committee, was a little older, and looked at several city leaders and joked lightly, and then said sincerely to Qi Tianxiang: "I just feel a little regretful, Governor Qi doesn't have time to go to us to guide us, and it is our honor to have time to listen to Governor Qi's instructions!" ”

Of course, Qi Tianxiang heard the flattering element in Tao Ran's words, as well as the implicit ridicule of Liang Zhixin, and knew that he heard the meaning of his words just now, so he smiled faintly and said: "Don't expect me to do any guidance, this is not necessarily a good thing, do your own thing, it is more effective than any guidance." ”

"Of course, please stay for a while, not just for a meal, but to calm down and talk to everyone and talk about your thoughts." Qi Tianxiang adjusted his sitting posture, sat more comfortably, ended the gossip, and entered the topic, "The collapse accident of Shengli Coal Group has not yet been determined, and it is difficult to draw conclusions for the time being, but the safety production accident can be asserted." The fact that such a big accident has occurred a few days after the end of the provincial work safety conference shows that everyone knows what the problem is, and there can be a variety of explanations and reasons, so we will not discuss it now. It only proves one point, that is, at least it shows that the safety production situation in the province is not optimistic, and it is far from the point where you can sit back and relax. ”

Qi Tianxiang's expression gradually became grim from relaxed, his eyes looked around at several local officials, and finally stopped on Tao Ran's face, and said in a relaxed tone: "Laizhou, as an industrialized city, has a slightly less dependence on mineral resources, and the situation in Shanyin and Huayi City is basically similar, both are resource-based economic development models, and the contribution of coal mining and output to the local economy cannot be underestimated, especially in terms of driving employment, the weight exceeds that of any industrial category, and transformation and upgrading is not an overnight thing." You know this, and the provincial party committee and the provincial government also know that you are not required to get rid of dependence in a short period of time, nor do you be required to correct the damage to the environment and resources, and you can tolerate a timetable for change, but it is equivalent to tolerating the existence of potential safety hazards, as well as the long-term existence of extensive and blind production methods, I hope you can understand this. ”

Seeing Tao Ran's slightly impressive expression, and seeing Liang Zhixin's uncomfortable face through the afterglow of his eyes, he said solemnly: "What governs for the people, what harmonious survival, what sustainable development, you also say this kind of truth every day, often on your lips, I don't want to say it, I just want to say one thing, that is, to wait for the provincial party committee and the provincial government to make a move, once I make a move here, there will be no room for you to maneuver." ”

"Of course, we are very clear and will do our best to rectify it, and I have communicated with Mayor Mao more than once about this matter." Of course, Tao Ran knew what Qi Tianxiang said, not only to him, but more importantly, to knock on the side, so he said with a smile on his face: "Please rest assured, Governor Qi, our Shanyin City will never drag the province back, nor will we let the provincial party committee and provincial government down." ”
