"Don't our children recognize these obvious problems? Don't you have a sense of crisis? Qi Tianxiang seemed to be full of confusion and said puzzledly: "With the expansion of university enrollment, there will be more and more college students, more and more graduates, and there are so many jobs, how can there be so many white-collar, high-salary, and decent positions waiting for them?" ”

"This is the deviation of education, but also the problem of orientation, we have been emphasizing that knowledge changes destiny, which is precisely to cut off the relationship between knowledge and skills." Zhou Tong seemed to be thinking with Qi Tianxiang's words, and said slowly: "In the past, the old saying 'there are thousands of families, it is better to have a skill', but it has been selectively forgotten by the industrialization of education, and has been shielded by the myth of wealth creation that is constantly propagated by public opinion. ”

Zhou Tong said with emotion, turned sideways to look at Qi Tianxiang, and said with a sly smile: "There are a few people who understand, just waiting to be discovered!" ”

Qi Tianxiang immediately understood the meaning of Zhou's call, and responded to him with a faint smile: "If you want to be beautiful, you may not be able to make beauty, that is Lao Feng's heart and liver baby, I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed!" ”

Zhou Tong could clearly feel Qi Tianxiang's love for these young people, and he also appreciated his thoughts, so he smiled meaningfully and said: "It's up to people!" Isn't there a saying that says it well? There is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of those who have a heart. ”

Qi Tianxiang knew that Zhou Tong already had specific methods and ideas, so he looked at Zhou Tong with satisfaction and teased: "There is another sentence called 'If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves worrying.'" ”

Qi Tianxiang spoke, looked at Zhou Tong, and the two laughed together, and the knowing laughter diluted the depression in their hearts, and also made the atmosphere in the car more relaxed and relaxed.

Seeing that Qi Tianxiang and Zhou Tong's emotions gradually returned to calm, Xiao Zhang looked at Qi Tianxiang with a smile and suggested: "There is a high-speed service area not far ahead, why don't you go in and drink some water and rest?" ”

Qi Tianxiang raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and said decisively: "Sharpen the knife and don't cut the wood, let's take a break and adjust it." ”

"Rest and relax in this service area, let's eat something in the next service area, otherwise it will be busy in Yishan County, and I don't know if there is time for lunch!" Zhou Tong looked at Qi Tianxiang and said with a faint smile: "A little more time, I'm afraid it's something that many people can't ask for!" ”

Qi Tianxiang smiled slightly and did not make a sound, knowing that Zhou Tong, as the secretary general of the government, has many years of work experience as the mayor of the municipal government, he should know what time means at this juncture, and what it can bring, and he fully knows what he is thinking now, so he has a smart mind, which not only eliminates a lot of unnecessary language exchanges, but also makes communication easier.

This is the reason why Qi Tianxiang clearly told Hao Han that he could not rush to transfer Wang Jinlong back to the provincial government now, Zhou Tong is a competent secretary general, with rich experience and sensitive sense, and many years of work experience in the government office, so that he has the ability to coordinate and cooperate, as well as assist in dealing with difficult problems. Although Wang Jinlong also has such an ability, he still has some deficiencies in the grasp of the overall work, compared with Zhou Tong. In addition, there are some inconvenient reasons to say, so that Qi Tianxiang still needs the presence of Zhou Tong for the time being.

Thinking like this, Xiao Wang had already driven the car into the service area and parked smoothly near the bathroom. After turning off the fire, he got out of the car first to observe, and then opened the back door to ask Qi Tianxiang to get out of the car.

For Xiao Wang's carefulness and caution, Qi Tianxiang has been accustomed to it, almost every time he gets on and off the car over the years, Xiao Wang is such a set of steps, until he is sure that there is no problem or danger, he will rest assured that Qi Tianxiang will get on and off the car. And Qi Tianxiang is also accustomed to acting according to Xiao Wang's arrangement, and in these seemingly small sections, serious obedience and cooperation are not only conducive to Xiao Wang's work, but also to his own safety.

Although Qi Tianxiang has become accustomed to it, Zhou Tong is very satisfied, and as the secretary general of the provincial government, he has always been concerned about the safety of the leader. Seeing Xiao Wang's conscientious behavior, he felt a lot more relieved, and also understood the reason why Qi Tianxiang did not want Xiao Wang to leave. couldn't help but look at Qi Tianxiang and gave a thumbs up, expressing his appreciation for Xiao Wang's professionalism.

Qi Tianxiang glanced back at Zhou Tong, smiled with satisfaction, followed behind Xiao Wang, and walked slowly to the bathroom. This is all a usual procedure, Xiao Wang is in front, Xiao Zhang is behind, Qi Tianxiang walks in the middle, Xiao Wang takes the lead in entering the bathroom to observe, and then comes out and stands at the door, cooperating with Xiao Zhang to do security work. It seems to be an unintentional observation and guard, but it is a tacit understanding formed over the years.

Coming out of the bathroom, Qi Tianxiang and Zhou Tong sat in the rest area of the service area, Xiao Wang sat down not far away, Xiao Zhang took Qi Tianxiang and Zhou Tong's water cups from the car, walked quickly to the boiling water room to draw water, and then put it on the small table in front of the two of them, before turning around and going back to take his and Xiao Wang's water cups to catch water. It all seemed methodical and skilled.

After a brief rest, Qi Tianxiang and Zhou Tong finished smoking a cigarette, and waited until Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wang exchanged bathrooms before slowly getting into the car and leaving the service area.

"I only now finally understand why Xiao Wang is reluctant to leave you, and they have formed a high degree of tacit understanding with each other, which is not something that can be achieved in a day or two." After the car continued to drive, Zhou Tong looked at Qi Tianxiang with emotion and said, "It's clear and seamless, it's not easy, it's really not easy." ”

"Or you Lao Zhou can speak, obviously I can't do without him, but he can't do without me if you say it." Qi Tianxiang looked at Zhou Tong with a smile, and said with emotion: "It's weird to say, I can't do without my wife at home, my clothes are there, where can I find the things I need, I don't know anything without my wife." When I left Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang at the unit, I couldn't go, and I couldn't even take care of my basic life. The normal reason is that you are too busy and need someone to take care of some chores for yourself, but you are really busy enough to cook in the restaurant? Is it true that there is no time to be busy for the people? Do people really need me to be so busy? Only God knows. ”

"It's also said that if you come an hour early every day, it will be difficult to predict the time to leave late, maybe two hours, maybe later. As soon as I entered the office, it was endlessly busy, and there was no end to it. Zhou Tong echoed Qi Tianxiang's words, and said with deep feelings: "Meetings, documents, documents, meetings, obviously have a division of labor and responsibilities, but when it comes to making a decision, you still need to ask for instructions, you also need to take ideas, and you can't be dissatisfied, because such a procedure has habitual thinking at work, and people say that they respect you, no matter how busy you are, you can't slack off." It seems that if these useless efforts are done in place, even if they are conscientious, they are worthy of their hearts. ”

Zhou Tong spoke, then changed the topic and said: "Sometimes I really envy the skilled workers in which enterprises, although the work is a little tired, and the income is not very high, but it is simple and easy, there is not so much calculation and prevention, and there is no need to play empty thoughts, study your own technology, and do your own work." Everything speaks with technology, you don't need to be looked up to by others, and you don't have to worry about being underestimated, isn't this kind of life very good? ”

"That's good! In fact, in everyone's heart, they are eager to have such a life, and they are not willing to live like this in actual existence, after all, ordinary and ordinary for most people, are a kind of torment, equivalent to uselessness and low ability, especially when the society is in chaos of values, such a willingness to be ordinary ideas, or need a certain amount of courage and courage, but also to have full mental preparation. Zhou Tong's words triggered Qi Tianxiang's thinking, and said thoughtfully: "Only when the whole society repositions labor and dedication, and the society is peaceful and calm, such a content with the ordinary is meaningful, and it is really worthy of praise." ”

Qi Tianxiang spoke, fell into deep thought, these questions not only puzzled Zhou Tong, but also confused himself, the change of social customs and orientation, is not only the necessity of the development of society itself, but also the problem that he needs to think about as a governor, improvement or change is not only beneficial to reducing economic overheating, but also to calm social expectations, it is also very necessary. It's just that what method to take and where to start needs to be carefully considered and planned, and he hasn't thought about it yet.

chatted casually, hurried all the way, and even stopped at the service area close to Huayi City, went to the restaurant for lunch, and then sat down in the rest area.

It wasn't until Zhang Wanfu's phone call came that he had rushed to the scene and had a detailed understanding of the occurrence and rescue of the coal mine accident, and now he is actively organizing forces to carry out serious rescue work.

After getting the latest progress of the accident, Qi Tianxiang quickly stood up and said to Zhou Tong seriously: "The situation is similar to what we expected, Lao Zhang has already started the on-site command work, and we should also arrive as soon as possible." ”

Qi Tianxiang spoke, and walked quickly towards the parked car. From the time he came out to the present, Qi Tianxiang has been waiting for an accurate news, this news cannot come from Huayi City or Yishan County, it can only come from Zhang Wanfu, from a controllable source.

This is where Lin Dongsheng reminded him of his stability, as the governor of the province, to come to the scene, not to participate in the rescue, but to make decisions on the spot, to command on the spot, what is needed is not bravery, but the wisdom to deal with problems and resolve contradictions. Someone must buffer these in front, and this person is Zhang Wanfu and the emergency response department he brought with him.

Now it seems that the conditions have been met, and it is time for Qi Tianxiang to come forward.
