The work of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection is under the leadership of the Provincial Party Committee, and the investigation and trial of cases is the work of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and there is no need to consult the provincial government or the governor too much. [Ran^Text^Library] After Zhao Haonan and Zheng Ming were transferred, Chen Nengliang suggested that it should be changed to a purely government department on the grounds that it was not suitable for the development of the economic situation. Deepening Reform and Innovation Leading Group', with him personally serving as the leader, Qi Tianxiang also naturally withdrew from this group, and there was no intersection with the provincial government, and he was more focused on the institutionalization of discipline inspection and supervision work, and carried out some departments and fields of pilots, most of which did not involve a wide range of fields, and did not have much communication with Chen Nengliang.

Qi Tianxiang also has opinions on Chen Nengliang's approach, but due to the different work and division of labor, Qi Tianxiang is not willing to talk too much, and even for Chen Nengliang himself, Qi Tianxiang is also respectful, in addition to avoiding the contradictions of the party and government leaders, and not wanting to get involved, he also has some views on Chen Nengliang's own personality and behavior style. In Qi Tianxiang's view, a high-level intellectual who has received higher education, especially the influence of Western democratic consciousness, and an expert and authority in a field, should be a humble, elegant, and gentle gentleman, at least an approachable, amiable senior or teacher, and should not be a self-serving, arbitrary, conceited, indifferent and self-confident scholar or gatekeeper. After several contacts, Qi Tianxiang had a very bad impression of Chen Nengliang, although he also saw that Chen Nengliang had the intention of wooing himself, he still tried his best to avoid excessive contact with him, and even reduced his movement as much as possible to avoid entering a meaningless mountain or circle.

The person that Qi Tianxiang vaguely thought of just now was actually Chen Nengliang, because he knew very well the relationship between Chen Nengliang and Lei Xiangdong, when Lei Xiangdong was the deputy director of the office of the People's Bank of China, Chen Nengliang was first the director of the Institute of Finance, and later promoted to vice president, from a colleague to a superior. When Lei Xiangdong went to Hehai to set up a branch of a joint-stock bank, he received help from Chen Nengliang, the president of a large bank at the time, and later Chen Nengliang was transferred to Hehai as governor, and Lei Xiangdong's bank provided a lot of practical help in financial services. Several intersections, no relationship has become a confidant, not to mention the past of a colleague? But Chen Nengliang's eagerness to woo and introduce his cronies to him still surprised Qi Tianxiang.

Qi Tianxiang thought about it like a movie in his mind, but the expression on his face did not change at all, he was still smiling gently, looking at everyone's eyes, they were full of friendliness, and they did not affect his emotions at all due to the change in his thoughts.

After a short period of confusion, the seats were quickly arranged, Chen Nengliang sat in the escort position, Qi Tianxiang was in the guest of honor position, the deputy guest position was vacant, Jiang Feiming sat next to Chen Nengliang's empty deputy guest, while Liu Mingming sat next to Qi Tianxiang, Lei Xiangdong and his office director, as well as the manager of the training center, sat opposite.

Qi Tianxiang looked at the vacant position next to Chen Nengliang strangely, and exchanged a puzzled look with Lei Xiangdong opposite, Lei Xiangdong returned him with a mysterious smile, Qi Tianxiang knew that there must be some intentions, so he no longer doubted, and patiently waited for the start of the banquet.

"The gods are in place, let's get started!" Chen Nengliang looked at Qi Tianxiang with a smile, asked for his opinion, and then asked Lei Xiangdong: "When you get to your one-third of an acre, what kind of wine do you invite us to drink!" Don't fool us with some local wine! ”

"How can it, Governor Chen is a distinguished guest who can't be invited, and Secretary Qi is a new official, so how can he be entertained with famous wine and delicacies!" Lei Xiangdong said with a smile, motioned to the waiter standing on the side to pour the wine, looked at Qi Tianxiang and said: "I poured out all my money today, Secretary Qi doesn't appreciate the good tea, the good wine that has been aged for ten years can't be said to be fake!" ”

Qi Tianxiang smiled slightly, did not speak, and watched the graceful body of the waiter flutter deftly around the table, and quickly poured wine into the glass in front of everyone. Immediately, a special aroma formed by aging and sealing, like a ghost that has been closed for a long time, can't wait to break free, freely showing an elegant posture and seductive aroma, and soon the room is filled with a thick and strong aroma of wine.

There is no need to guess, Qi Tianxiang knew the name and price of the wine from the unique aroma of the wine, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised, and also had an excited taste, which seemed to be the temptation of the aroma of wine, and seemed to be the richness of the dishes.

As the waiters shuttled back and forth, the huge table was soon filled with colorful dishes, and most of them were mountain delicacies and seafood, and rare seafood that was difficult to see in the past was also put on the table. It can be seen that Lei Xiangdong prepared carefully, and he also took great pains for this meal.

"Let's get started!" Chen Nengliang's eyes reluctantly took back from the graceful waiter, picked up the wine glass and said to Qi Tianxiang: "This first glass of wine congratulates you Tianxiang brother on taking up his new position, and I hope you will make some achievements in Hezhou City." ”

"Thank you Governor Chen for your kindness, I understand it." Qi Tianxiang picked up the wine glass, gently touched Chen Nengliang's cup, and motioned to everyone present to raise the glass and drink it all.

"This second glass of wine is still respecting Brother Tianxiang, Hezhou is the provincial capital, and I hope that Brother will work hard to help Brother Xiang!" Chen Nengliang looked at Qi Tianxiang with a smile and said meaningfully, with some sincerity.

"I do my best, as hard as I can." Qi Tianxiang said with a smile, picked up the cup and gently slammed it on the table, drank it neatly, and then quietly looked at Chen Nengliang, waiting for his third glass of wine.

Suddenly, the afterglow of Qi Tianxiang's eyes instantly caught Chen Nengliang's slight movements. Seeing Chen Nengliang's hand stretched out behind the waiter who poured the wine, it seemed to be gently helped, but from the horror that flashed on the waiter's face, it was obvious that Chen Nengliang was not just helping him, maybe he touched the waiter's buttocks, or maybe he pinched it. No matter what it was, a deep disgust rose in Qi Tianxiang's heart, a humble gentleman in such a high position would do such a dirty thing on such an occasion, Qi Tianxiang couldn't believe it in his heart, let alone imagine it.

"This third glass of wine, I also respect Brother Tianxiang, I solemnly introduce the two closest people around me to you, and I hope that Brother will take care of you, it would be great if I could become your right-hand man." Chen Nengliang solemnly picked up the wine, motioned Jiang Feiming and Liu Mingming to stand up with his eyes, and said loudly: "You must cooperate with Secretary Qi's work more in the future, make some achievements, and don't let me down." ”

"I don't dare to drink this third glass of wine, please sit down with both of you." Qi Tianxiang still smiled and waved his hand to invite Jiang Feiming and Liu Mingming to sit down, turned his face and looked at Chen Nengliang in embarrassment and said: "It's not to refute your face, I am here in the party committee, although I say that I lead everything, but after all, the government work is still the side of Mayor Fang, and it is still not appropriate to step past him and directly intervene in economic work!" ”

Qi Tianxiang's words made Chen Nengliang stunned for a moment, a trace of anger instantly crossed his white cheeks, put down the wine glass in his hand, and pushed the gold-rimmed glasses to hide the embarrassment and unhappiness in his heart, and said disdainfully: "That straw bag, don't pay attention to him, in addition to the urban construction stall, he is desperately building a house, throwing money into infrastructure construction, and turning living money into dead money. Bullshit. ”

Chen Nengliang seemed to be unsatisfied, picked up his wine glass and gestured to Qi Tianxiang, gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Look at me if I don't find a chance to clean him up, don't listen to the greetings, don't follow the routine, it's against him." ”

"It seems that this wine must be drunk, otherwise Governor Chen will not be able to spare me first." Qi Tianxiang picked up the wine glass and gently touched Chen Nengliang's cup, raised his head and poured the wine into his mouth, and seemed to be full of unhappiness and poured it in. I can't imagine that a dignified provincial and ministerial-level high-ranking official would evaluate the mayor of a city in front of so many irrelevant staff members and subordinates, and it is so explicit that it is so loud that the disgust in my heart has invisibly increased a layer.

"Governor Chen has already mentioned three, is it my turn to accompany him?" Lei Xiangdong had already faintly smelled the smell of gunpowder, and seeing that Chen Nengliang had finished drinking, his face was slightly softened, and he hurriedly stood up to ease the atmosphere, and slowly proposed: "Slow down, let's all eat some food and taste the craftsmanship of the culinary master we just invited from the south." ”

Chen Nengliang nodded in agreement, returned to his natural demeanor, picked up the chopsticks and took the lead in picking up a piece of sashimi and putting it in his mouth, chewing it as if no one was around, and then motioned for everyone to come and taste it, and said vaguely: "Authentic, more authentic, authentic Beihai sashimi." ”

"It's almost time for the dish, so let you waiters go down! Seven people eat, four people serve, it's too luxurious! Qi Tianxiang casually sandwiched a slice of beef, and seemed to deliberately joke and said: "The matter of pouring wine, your training center manager, and our beautiful and charming director Liu Mingming, can handle it with ease." ”

Lei Xiangdong quickly understood the meaning of Qi Tianxiang's words, and couldn't help but look at him deeply, in fact, the expression of the waiter next to Chen Nengliang just now changed, and it didn't escape Lei Xiangdong's eyes at all. So he reciprocated him with a grateful smile, waved his hand to let the waiter retreat, and took the opportunity to pick up the wine glass and said: "This first glass of wine, thank you for coming to my small temple, I am flattered, so I really salute everyone." ”

After drinking the first glass of wine, Lei Xiangdong did not stop for a moment, and as soon as the wine was poured, he picked up the wine glass, and said with a smile: "This second glass of wine, to our big brother, may the big brother be healthy, and eat well!" ”

Chen Nengliang smiled, picked up the cup with a big grin, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Don't say something useless, today is mainly to congratulate Brother Tianxiang, we are all blessed by him, so that we can drink your good wine and eat your good food." ”

"Big Brother criticized, and I humbly accepted it." Lei Xiang picked up the wine glass solemnly, looked at Qi Tianxiang, and said with a warm gaze: "This third glass of wine, solemnly respect our Secretary Qi, today I took up my new post and met two new friends, this is really like a tiger with wings, cherish it!" ”

Qi Tianxiang picked up his wine glass, was very grateful to Lei Xiangdong for his kind reminder, reciprocated him with a warm smile, looked around at everyone present, and finally looked at Chen Nengliang's face, and said slowly: "These six glasses of wine are down, isn't it time to disrupt the war, I can't stand this amount of wine!" ”

"I don't care about this, it's up to them to contact your feelings, whether it's one cup or three cups, it depends on the relationship!" Chen Nengliang shrugged helplessly, and looked at Jiang Feiming and Liu Mingming with a gloomy smile, as if he was waiting to see the joke.

Qi Tianxiang paused, drank the wine in the glass briskly, slowly stood up, waited for the wine glass to be filled with wine, and said with a smile to Chen Nengliang: "Today, everyone, especially Governor Chen, gave me such a big face for Qi Tianxiang, I feel flattered, and I want to express my feelings while being excited, Governor Chen is the big brother, personally congratulated me, and introduced the right-hand man to me, no matter how thankful it is, I don't say anything, it's all in the wine, I respect the big brother two glasses." ”

Qi Tianxiang's approach made Chen Nengliang a little confused for a while, and before he could react, Qi Tianxiang had slowly poured the wine into his mouth, so he had to stand up and take a drink, and after the training center manager poured the wine again, he knew Qi Tianxiang's intentions, but he could only helplessly pick up the cup, touch it lightly with Qi Tianxiang, and drink the wine with a slight smile, but secretly admired Qi Tianxiang's agility and reaction in his heart.

It doesn't seem too difficult to sit and drink with Qi Tianxiang, but to get closer to Qi Tianxiang through drinking, this is Chen Nengliang's hope, and he has made efforts and attempts in this regard in the past, but he is not very serious. One is that Qi Tianxiang is in the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and there are not many work intersections, and the other is that he can't see Qi Tianxiang's depth clearly, and he doesn't dare to make a big effort. Qi Tianxiang's ability is naturally needless to say, several major things have been done beautifully, and his reputation as an official is also very good, and the successive secretaries of the provincial party committee have praised him, and he also has a father-in-law with great energy, and the combination of these various aspects is destined to make him not a thing that has lived in the shallows for a long time. has the heart to make friends, and also hopes to get his help, but I always feel that he is lukewarm, cruising outside of right and wrong, neither too close to Lin Dongsheng, but also respectful of himself. Knowing that he deliberately avoided the troubles of circles and mountains, he didn't put too much effort into it.

The number one leader of a provincial capital city can not only influence the operation of a city, but also play an important role in the wrestling between the provincial party committee and the provincial government. Although I regret that I started a little late, I still want to give it a try. After all, after he Qi Tianxiang took office, a lot of work is inseparable from the support and help of the provincial government, realistic considerations believe that the smart Qi Tianxiang will not not not consider, will this have the effect of twice the result with half the effort, Chen Nengliang wants to try, he is used to the effect of leverage, and he fully believes in the singular results of multiple amplification, and he is very confident in this. And I understand that even if I can't accept it, at least it shouldn't be an obstacle in the future, so this meal should be deigned to be invited.

After Qi Tianxiang and Chen Nengliang drank two cups, they smiled slightly and said to Lei Xiangdong: "Borrow flowers to offer Buddha, thank you very much for your hospitality, our brothers also drink two cups, good things come in pairs." ”

Qi Tianxiang's approach made Chen Nengliang and Lei Xiangdong feel incredible, but what made Chen Nengliang even more dumbfounded was still behind. After Qi Tianxiang and Lei Xiangdong drank two glasses of wine, they picked up the wine glasses and looked at Jiang Feiming, then at Liu Mingming, and said with a gentle smile: "In the future, we will be colleagues, just get acquainted with each other, and I will drink one with the two of you, which can be regarded as a good thing!" ”

As he spoke, Qi Tianxiang had a drink with Jiang Feiming and Liu Mingming, and then slowly sat down, and said to Chen Nengliang with a smile: "I have overfulfilled the task, you continue, I will rest for a while." ”

Chen Nengliang was not only shocked, but also felt that Qi Tianxiang's opponent was powerful, Qi Tianxiang, who seemed to be weak and elegant, was simply too difficult to deal with, which not only showed Qi Tianxiang's agility and intelligence, but also fully demonstrated Qi Tianxiang's inner strength and confidence. At the very least, this shows that he is well aware of his situation and has a clever way to deal with it. Rather than waiting for everyone to take turns toasting, it is better to take the initiative, at least it will be a lose-lose ending. Chen Nengliang couldn't help but secretly marvel, nearly one or two cups, two rounds of wine had already been six cups, and Qi Tianxiang drank six cups with everyone here, which was the amount of one catty and two taels. On such an occasion, such an anti-customer-oriented way of drinking is simply incredible. Once you run out of alcohol, the consequences or jokes are great.

Chen Nengliang couldn't help but look at Qi Tianxiang again, but although he had such and such thoughts in his heart, he still had to say it beautifully, so he pretended to be generous and said: "Brother Tianxiang is massive, I am ashamed of myself, let him rest and drink it later." ”

As he spoke, he beckoned to Liu Mingming and said gently: "Xiao Liu, let's drink one too!" It's been a long time since we've had a drink together. ”

"Good! I'll just wait for the call of the old leader! Liu Mingming looked at Chen Nengliang with a sweet smile, slowly stood up, walked to Chen Nengliang with a wine glass, sat on the empty seat generously, and asked, "How do we drink?" ”

"How do you say we drink?" Chen Nengliang seemed to be carelessly holding Liu Mingming's pink and white little hand, and asked softly: "There must be a charter!" ”

"Spirits give strong men, beautiful women reward heroes, I am sacrificing my life to accompany the gentleman, whatever you want." Liu Mingming gave Chen Nengliang a wink, giggled exaggeratedly, seemed to be shaking all over, leaned over to his face, and said very softly: "You can do whatever you want, what kind of regulations do you want!" Feel free to do it. ”

Seeing Qi Tianxiang's silent expression, Chen Nengliang let go of Liu Mingming's hand, and said with a smile: "Xiao Liu speaks straightforwardly and brightly, like a boy, and it is also because of my connivance, which makes me spoiled, this is not like Feiming, who is stable and angry." When Chen Nengliang said this, he seemed to add unsatisfied: "But they also have their own strengths, and they are all my favorite subordinates and students." Xiao Liu is a graduate student I led, and I must have been with him for nearly ten years! From the school to the research institute, and then to the river and the sea, those who never abandon each other also know each other. Although Feiming has been working with me as a secretary for a long time, he has great ambitions, and he is like a fish in water when he leaves me to come to Hezhou! If you want me to say, young people have to have ideas, have ambitions, and how big their hearts are, how big the stage is! ”

Chen Nengliang's last sentence immediately reminded Qi Tianxiang of Yan Bonian's refutation of this sentence, but Chen Nengliang greatly appreciated this sentence, it seems that the purpose is different, and the same sentence will be interpreted differently. Come to think of it, in less than ten years, it is really not easy for a graduate student to grow into a department-level cadre in a provincial capital city, without the ability to follow the winding paths. And Jiang Feiming, a department-level secretary, has become a deputy department-level in just a few years, which is not simple.

Seeing Chen Nengliang holding Liu Mingming's hand, his fingers pointing at her palms to look at the palms, causing Liu Mingming to laugh constantly, and the laughter was also extremely tempting, Qi Tianxiang finally understood the intention of the vacant position, so he raised his eyes to look at Lei Xiangdong, and received a meaningful smile, and smiled at each other understandingly.

Because he has begun to enter the chaotic war, and Chen Nengliang doesn't seem to be here, so at Lei Xiangdong's suggestion, he drank a few more glasses of wine, and soon entered the aftershow time, Lei Xiangdong suggested drinking some tea, but Liu Mingming proposed to play mahjong, Qi Tianxiang had a lot of excuses, and said goodbye first.

Chen Nengliang humbly kept a few words, and seeing that Qi Tianxiang had made up his mind, he no longer insisted, stood up and insisted on sending Qi Tianxiang to the door of the room before shaking hands and saying goodbye.

Lei Xiangdong and Director Li of the office sent Qi Tianxiang outside the training center building and arranged a car to send Qi Tianxiang home.

In front of Director Li, Lei Xiangdong didn't say anything, just shook Qi Tianxiang's hand tightly, and the other hand patted lightly on his shoulder, as if everything was in silence, but not long after Qi Tianxiang left in the car, he received a text message from him.

"I'm sorry to spoil you, I can't help it, let me make up for it later!!"

Three exclamation marks in a row, illustrating Lei Xiangdong's remorseful mood, Qi Tianxiang smiled knowingly after seeing it, how could he not be like this, Chen Nengliang's style and words are showing and tempting something all the time, and he is not sure how long he can endure it. The practice of drinking by himself has both the factor of self-preservation, and how can it not excuse Lei Xiangdong, so he quickly replied to the text message; "People in the rivers and lakes, involuntarily, understand, understand! The coming day is long, and then talk about the vicissitudes of life. ”

I put down my phone, and I seemed to feel that the strength of the wine was starting to rise, and I was a little confused. Although it is not yet drunk, it seems that it is also in the best state of drinking.

Thinking of the scene of drinking just now, Qi Tianxiang sneered inexplicably
