"How's you two thinking about it? I've come here to find out. Qi Tianxiang faced the astringent Lin Yan, smiled slightly and motioned for her to sit down, and seemed to complain with some dissatisfaction: "I can't see your figure when I go back to Hezhou, and it's difficult to see you when I come to Haidong, if it weren't for Secretary Zhang's special trip to invite you, would you be ready to hide?" ”

Qi Tianxiang's words were gentle and free, not so much complaining, but enlivening the atmosphere, which made Lin Yan's embarrassment when he first entered the door a lot, and he responded with a slightly naughty smile: "You have every opportunity, you also came to Haidong with work, the secretary and the mayor can't stand it, how can it be my turn to wait for grass people, there is no level and no quality, what kind of excitement is it, it makes people tired of watching." ”

"You are poor! He is also a dignified secretary of the Communist Youth League Municipal Committee, leading an independent department, so loose and unorganized and undisciplined, depending on how you command everyone. Qi Tianxiang looked at Lin Yan with a smile, very happy with her demeanor and words, and also relieved of her current state, but he still said with a slight tiger face: "You don't need me to tell you the reason for inviting you here!" It's really a tiger girl, the shelf is big enough, I mentioned it to you when I came to Haidong last year, and I also told you when I met after the Spring Festival this year, is it still a time this time, and when is the next time I am ready to book, you give me a hint, I will go back and prepare. ”

Qi Tianxiang spoke, and didn't give Lin Yan a chance to refute at all, and then said: "I also wonder, how many people drill holes, rely on relationships to find people, and want Governor Qi to give necessary care, even if it is a word, there are not a few people who are voted back by me, but when it comes to your Miss Lin, I am not good at being reserved and resolute, and I have to go up the pole to chase you for good words, it is really dignified, and I am disgraced!" ”

Qi Tianxiang's self-pitying complaint suddenly made Lin Yan no longer hold back and laugh, the crampedness and unnaturalness when he first entered the door were swept away, and he couldn't help but look at the big brother in front of him with admiration, and he couldn't speak for a while.

For Qi Tianxiang's invitation, Lin Yan knew what the reason was, but she didn't dare not come, not because Qi Tianxiang was the governor, but also because it was really difficult to refute Qi Tianxiang's face. In the past few years, I and my husband have been sent to Haidong City by my father, taking care of the elderly is one aspect, and exercising at the grassroots level is an important reason.

Her father's expectations for her were high, which she knew when she was in school, and as the only child in the family, the girl was raised by her father as a boy, and he had high expectations. Since junior high school, she has been arranged to live in school, and every summer vacation she is sent to her hometown in the countryside of Haidong, saying that she is taking care of her grandparents, but in fact, she is forced to work to feel the hardships and hardships of the countryside. High school even arranged her to a military school to experience the life of a soldier, it can be said that other people's military training once, she trained three times, so that a girl, but there is no girl's weakness and squeamishness, there are many boys' Kong Wu and Dunhou.

After graduating from high school, under the intervention of her father, Lin Yan gave up her qualification to send national defense students to the school, applied for the Youth Political College, which was not very famous in Hohai Province, and after graduation, she entered the Provincial Youth League Committee and became a youth League cadre that her father wanted.

For her choice of mate, her father didn't care very much, and her father was very satisfied with her final choice of Li Xiangdong, who was also an officer of the Youth League Provincial Committee, and he didn't care about Li Xiangdong's family background in rural Huayi at all, and even the wedding required her to go to Li Xiangdong's hometown, and it was held in full accordance with the customs of rural Huayi. After marriage, they were also required to move to the dormitory of the Provincial Committee of the Youth League, and they were not allowed to enjoy any due privileges until they were sent to Haidong City as selected cadres.

As a daughter, although she did not approve of her father's approach, she was not very disgusted, including everything she arranged for herself, she accepted it as pleasantly as possible, because she knew that resistance and opposition were often ineffective, had no practical meaning, and would bring her own invisible troubles. In a sense, she is still a little afraid of this serious, strict, and even a somewhat strict father.

When she came to Haidong City, she was still engaged in group work, Li Xiangdong went to the county, and according to her father's request, she took her grandparents to Haidong's own home and assumed the filial piety that her father should do. Fortunately, with the help of her father's younger brothers and sisters, it is not very difficult to take care of the elderly, including when she gave birth to a child, to a large extent, the two old people and her uncles and aunts were taking care of her.

Due to the existence of her father, especially the intricate relationship formed by her fathers in Haidong, Lin Yan and her husband Li Xiangdong's life in Haidong is not very difficult, not only is there nothing difficult, but in a sense, it is also very smooth and very free, you don't have to care about too many people's feelings, and you don't have to deliberately cater to or wronged yourself, work honestly, live peacefully, Lin Yan gradually likes this free and easy way of life.

But with the death of her grandparents one after another, Lin Yan also secretly knew that the time when she and Li Xiangdong left Haidong was not far away, but she didn't expect that such a thing would be arranged by Qi Tianxiang, and she wouldn't have thought that it would be so soon.

Qi Tianxiang She is not very familiar, but she is very familiar with Yan Li, when she was a child, she lived in the provincial government compound, although there is a lot of age difference, but they can meet each other and say hello, every Spring Festival in the past few years, they can also see their husband and wife at home, and they can still talk to each other, but they don't communicate much with Qi Tianxiang, so that they don't know what to call when they meet just now.

From Yan Li's side, Lin Yan should call Qi Tianxiang her brother-in-law, from where her father is, Qi Tianxiang is the governor of the provincial government and a colleague of his father, so naturally he can't be commensurate with his brother and sister, which will be very troublesome, so he often looks at each other and smiles, and doesn't call anything better.

When she entered the door just now, Lin Yan was cramped for a while, and finally had to simply call Governor Qi to do something, but this embarrassment was skillfully maneuvered by Qi Tianxiang, and it was a close complaint and complaint, which made the atmosphere in the room mild and natural. This is naturally Qi Tianxiang's skill to grasp the scene, and it is also something that Lin Yan does not have, which is also what she admires Qi Tianxiang.

But now in the face of Qi Tianxiang's words, Lin Yan really didn't know how to answer. Since he became the secretary of the Communist Youth League Municipal Committee, there have been suggestions to transfer their husband and wife back to the province, but his father did not express his opinion, and their husband and wife could only prevaricate on the grounds that the elderly needed to be taken care of.

"Secretary Lin is getting older, and his health has not been very good, Mr. Liu has been a little difficult to take care of him, but Secretary Lin still insists on not appointing someone to take care of his life, and only you and Xiang Dong can fulfill such a responsibility." Seeing Lin Yan's silent and embarrassed demeanor, Qi Tianxiang said gently: "When you are older, you need to take care of it, and you need to be accompanied by your family, which is no exception for anyone. Although the means of communication are now developed, voice calls, text messages can be communicated, and video chats can be used, but everything cannot replace the face-to-face greeting for warmth, let alone the warmth of cooking a meal and washing a piece of clothing. ”

As Qi Tianxiang spoke, he keenly felt that Lin Yan's eyes were red, so he closed the topic and said with a faint smile: "I know you are very embarrassed, Secretary Lin's family has a lot of rules, and I also know that there are some things I can do to explain some things, but that should be after the fact, not beforehand." ”

Qi Tianxiang stretched out his hand to signal Lin Yan not to speak, and then said: "You and Xiang Dong are both subordinate cadres, and they were sent to the grassroots level by the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee as young cadres for training, and the time has been seven or eight years!" Now you are already the secretary of the Youth League Municipal Committee of Haidong City, and Xiang Dong has also gone through experience and become the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Deqing City, and you will become a member of the Standing Committee of the Haidong Municipal Party Committee in the next step. If that's the case, if his work is not adjusted, your position will also be moved, this is the organizing principle, you should be very clear. ”

Seeing Lin Yan nodding slightly in approval, Qi Tianxiang slowed down for a moment before saying: "I think about it like this, you and Xiangdong go back to the provincial capital, you either continue to return to the provincial Youth League Committee and engage in the youth work you are good at, or go to the Provincial Federation of Trade Unions to do some mass work." To the east, I plan to let him go to Hezhou City to serve as a deputy mayor and get acquainted with the economic and social management of the central city, which will not do him any harm in the future. ”

Listening to Qi Tianxiang's personnel arrangements that seemed to be casually said, Lin Yan knew that Qi Tianxiang had come prepared, after careful consideration and planning. Although it is not an organizational conversation, it is not said casually, which directly shows that Xiang Dongjiang, as a young cadre with development potential, has entered Qi Tianxiang's circle of power, and there may be greater development.

Although the traditional concept of husband and wife is not deeply rooted in Lin Yan's consciousness, the idea of expecting a husband to become a Chan cannot be said to be absent, but Lin Yan has always pinned her hopes on her father, she believes and trusts her father's political wisdom, and also firmly believes in her father's arrangement. But as his father's retirement time approached, Li Xiangdong needed a long-term and stable platform, which was difficult for his father to give.

Lin Yan was unwilling to give up such an opportunity, and it was even more difficult to resist Qi Tianxiang's arrangement, which not only had obvious significance, but also had great temptation. If he can comply with Qi Tianxiang's requirements and enter his personnel arrangement sequence, Li Xiangdong will not only stand on a new platform, but also be more likely to usher in a brilliant future, and what will bring her and her daughter must be a new beginning, for herself and her daughter, Lin Yan will not refuse, or she can't bear to refuse.
