"I'm going to send you a boat across the sea tomorrow, I was supposed to have a few drinks with you, but unfortunately I can't help myself!" When Qi Tianxiang walked into Qian Zhen's room, he just walked out of the bathroom after taking a bath, and his hair was still wet, so he laughed and teased: "This is an appointment to meet, but I didn't say that we met sincerely!" My armor is not quite equal! ”

Qian Zhen was also unprepared for Qi Tianxiang's rash incursion, but it was not easy to say anything, fortunately, in addition to Qi Tianxiang and the secretary Xiao Zhang, he just opened the door for them, and his own secretary who brought them in glared at Qi Tianxiang, and said angrily: "It's embarrassing to say, if you say something else, but you run away and disappear, saying that you go out for a walk after dinner, but who needs a few hours to walk?" Thinking that you wouldn't come, I took a shower and let you bump into it. You sit down first, and I'll change my clothes. ”

"Blame me, blame me. Or our reception work is not in place, the evening activities are too monotonous, this is all the fault of Lao Wang, should find a few people to accompany Director Qian to play mahjong, or play a few poker! Qi Tianxiang seemed to be dissatisfied with the compensation, and said seriously: "The reception work is no trivial matter, such negligence should not occur, I have to criticize him a few words when I go back." But the main responsibility is still on me, and I asked Director Qian to make the bill. ”

"Forget it! Director Wang did a good job, didn't people find someone to play cards with me that day along the way? You, Governor Qi, have never shown your face! Qian Zhen coped with Qi Tianxiang's words here, quickly changed his clothes, and walked out of the suite after a while, looked at Qi Tianxiang who was sitting on the sofa and said: "I took the initiative to push it at night, the excuse is that I am tired from going up the mountain today and want to rest early, but when I arrived in your room, I had a closed door." ”

Qi Tianxiang apologetically took the initiative to pick up the cigarette case on the coffee table, took out a cigarette and handed it to Qian Zhen, and kindly lit a fire for him, and apologized repeatedly: "The main responsibility for this lies with me, I just wanted to walk casually, which can also be a good block for the local leaders." It's so easy to come to the grassroots, how can people let it go easily, not to mention taking the initiative to set up a relationship, but I can't bear to leave you in the room in the cold after dinner! It's not reasonable to be reasonable, and I'm the worst at socializing, so I use the excuse of taking a walk after dinner, and then go back to the room to read, don't let me accompany you, and don't have to wait, so you can be quiet, but it's also a helpless move! ”

Qian Zhen glanced at Qi Tianxiang deeply, knowing that he was insincere, but he still said meaningfully: "You don't need to find a reason, it is reasonable to look at an old person, but I don't understand a little, what is the meaning of such a move, and what results do you want to reap?" ”

"I really didn't think about it that much, I just felt that it was not easy to come to Deqing, and there will be fewer opportunities like this in the future, so let's take the time to meet, maybe nothing, just go and see." Seeing Qian Zhen directly lift the lid, Qi Tianxiang no longer concealed it, and said frankly: "It's been six or seven years since I talked about it, and I can't forget this old classmate and old friend in my heart, this is my first classmate to enter the Central Party School, and I live in the same dormitory, he let me fully understand the reality of the cadres who have come up step by step at the grassroots level, and also know the reality outside the college." I can say that I have learned a lot from him, although some of the views of the two of us are not the same, and it can be said that it is-for-tat, but this does not affect my appreciation and admiration for him. ”

"I have nothing to criticize about your feelings, and I don't want to comment, but as a cadre I have dealt with, you can face it again, it should be said that your courage is still worthy of admiration, and what is more commendable is your openness." Qian Zhen was moved by Qi Tianxiang's sincerity, looked at him seriously and said: "Although many years have passed since the incident, I also heard about the situation at that time later, the first time you became the secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection was to slash at Vice Governor Huang, and it was to go straight to the nest to collect evidence, and fought a beautiful siege and annihilation battle." This old friend and classmate of yours is nothing more than a guilty pawn who will not dare to say what he wants to say until he dies, and he will take the secret away forever. ”

Qian Zhen stared straight at Qi Tianxiang, with a gentle smile on his face, and said sincerely: "Your handling methods and means are still very high, and you have quietly and low-key handled the aftermath of your old classmates, which not only preserved the reputation of your old classmates, but also did not affect the chain of evidence against Vice Governor Huang at all, and more importantly, gave the old classmate's family a calm and decent funeral and end, for this point their family should be grateful to you." ”

Qian Zhen spoke, looked at Qi Tianxiang, and continued slowly: "As for the argument that you deliberately contributed to the suicide of your old classmate and gave him time and space, I don't believe this kind of discussion at all. Based on my understanding of you, you who were fledgling at that time did not yet have this city, and it is not believable that you are the reason why the good deeds deduce from the results. ”

"But as a discipline inspection cadre, you are still relatively different, not only do you not have the good deeds of ordinary discipline inspection cadres, but also their determination, and even in a sense, there are some women's kindness." Qian Zhen stretched out his hand to stop Qi Tianxiang's intention to distinguish, and still said slowly: "You can lay a net to let the famous entrepreneur have luck, so that he will finally be desperate and turn himself in, and through design, he will give up any illusions and take the initiative to explain all the things you want to know." This really shows your superb political wisdom and strategy, and in fact gives you a lot of points. ”

"Don't put gold on my face, I really don't have the kind of city you said, it's just because the time is not yet ripe to close the net, and he can only hold some illusions, and we really waited for the opportunity and the key evidence through the gradual loss of his self-confidence." Of course, Qi Tianxiang knew what Qian Zhen said, but he still sighed deeply and said: "On my scale, merit and demerit are always very clear, one yard is one yard, and merit cannot be covered up by merit, nor can merit be covered up." Whether it is my old classmates or famous entrepreneurs, they have all made outstanding contributions, and they have also worked hard and paid. In the end, it is not only their fault, but also the design of the system, the supervision and restraint mechanism, and even the construction of the system are all the inducements for this result, and in the final analysis, it is still a tragedy. ”

Qi Tianxiang's face became grim, looked at Qian Zhen, and said sincerely: "Which of my old classmates, when he started in his hometown and township, planted mushrooms, closed mountains and cultivated forests, and engaged in the planting, breeding and processing of special agricultural products, he endured some hardships and put in some effort. Not to mention anything else, when he was the deputy head of the township in charge of industry, he inadvertently got the gold vein map from his comrades-in-arms, which is important information that even a thousand gold can't get! If he had a flash of selfishness at that time, tens of millions of net worth, or even hundreds of millions of family fortunes, were just around the corner, but he was unmoved, and handed it over to the collective without reservation, becoming an important source of wealth and output for the township, and he was still a clean breeze on his sleeves. Isn't that something to admire? Isn't it worth writing about? Who brought them to a tragic end, shouldn't we reflect on it? ”

Qian Zhen saw what Qi Tianxiang wanted to say behind his excitement, so he smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to stop him from continuing, slowly thought for a while and said seriously: "I know what you want to say, and I know what you can say, but now is not the time to say this, I still hope you don't say these words." ”

As if he felt the meaning of instruction in his words, Qian Zhen immediately changed his sitting posture to cover it, softened his tone and continued: "We are old classmates, we know each other, we don't need to hide it, we can naturally say it directly, so I won't be polite around the bush, and you don't have to mind to tell the truth." ”

Qi Tianxiang keenly felt the change in Qian Zhen's tone, in order to show that he didn't mind, he picked up the cigarette case and handed a cigarette to Qian Zhen, then lit it himself, took a deep breath, and said slowly with a smile: "There is no need to say this, it's not an old classmate, it's not a temper, we two brothers can't sit together, and these words can't be talked about." ”

What Qi Tianxiang said was the truth, the second training in the party school is a leap from the provincial department to the provincial and ministerial level, which is completely different from the first time. Provincial departments are held in stages, and a large number of personnel and reserve cadres across the country need multiple periods of training to complete, and in the year of the election and general election, such training courses can be held at any time of the year.

Provincial and ministerial-level training is different, after all, there are still a small number of leading cadres in the country who can enter the provincial and ministerial level, and the training personnel of the provincial and departmental classes are even more rare, and many people stop at the provincial and departmental level, and it is difficult to cross the gap between the provincial and ministerial levels.

Qi Tianxiang was not only fortunate to enter the party school for rotation training and study twice in a row, but also the short interval between them is rare in the country. Of course, this refers to on-the-job training, and other forms of learning and short-term training can occur at any time, especially after becoming a provincial and ministerial level, almost every year there will be a certain amount of time to enter the school for further study and study.

Qi Tianxiang's two study times, only three years between them, completed the leap from professor to vice president of the law school, and then to the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. Among the dozens of classmates, including Qian Zhen, there are very few people with qualifications and experience like Qi Tianxiang and Liu Xiaoping, and more are people like Qian Zhen who have worked hard for many years and come to this level step by step, and many are still cadres who have been in real positions for a long time before they can be officially recognized, Qian Zhen and Hou Zhehai belong to this list, so although they are classmates, they feel different.

Qi Tianxiang's enrollment is to go up better, but Qian Zhen and Hou Zhehai are to be recognized, age and employment experience determine the effect of learning, so that there is a large span of learning, which in itself explains a lot of problems.

Standing in line and being selected are clear, but entering the team is not the choice of cadres like Qian Zhen, and the actual significance is greater than the potential meaning of learning, and the feeling is also very different.
