Chapter 704: Revisiting the Old Place (9)

"Our county magistrate Xiao Wang, this is really touched, and he also said what he thinks in his heart, it's not easy, it's good!" Qi Tianxiang saw Wang Tongjun expressing his heart without scruples, and he was very touched in his heart, but he was also worried about his youth and lack of involvement in the world, so he took his words, smiled and waved his hand to stop him from continuing to speak, and said with deep feeling: "What is there at the grassroots level? What can change in a few months? Comrade Wang Tongjun gave us a very good answer, and also raised a serious question for us, the cadres who are in charge of the government. ”

Qi Tianxiang stopped speaking, looked at Sun Pingfang and Tao Ran left and right, looked around at the people in the conference room, and asked himself with a serious expression: "The grassroots not only have closed mountains, but also have a difficult and harsh environment, but also tens of thousands of ordinary people, with their warmth, food and clothing, and their expectations and hopes. If you can't see this, if you don't see them in your eyes, and if you don't feel touched and ashamed in your heart, ruling for the people is just an empty phrase, and you can only be a slogan on your lips and sticking to the wall. ”

"The county magistrate of Tongjun is still very young, and he does not hide his thoughts and feelings, which in the eyes of many people should be inexperienced in officialdom, but this frankness that is not deeply involved in the world allows us to see the path of the young intellectual's growth, and also see his fiery emotions and kindness in his heart." Qi Tianxiang raised his voice and said almost word by word, the serious expression on his face did not ease at all, and he still said coldly: "The selection and appointment of cadres in our organization departments will not only be screened from confessions, but they will not only look at political achievements and motives. In a few months, I believe that many people have seen the changes in the county magistrate of Xiaowang, and they have a clear judgment, their faces are dark, their hair is boring, especially their hands that are used to pinching the barrel of the pen have become rough. What does this mean, in my opinion, is that we really put our minds on the grassroots, and this is what is commendable, and it is also a sign of the maturity of young cadres. ”

Qi Tianxiang changed his expression, looked directly at Wang Tongjun gently, and said encouragingly: "I believe that in addition to your feelings, you will definitely have a gain in understanding. I'm sure you'll be confident about that, we'll see. ”

Qi Tianxiang spoke, turned his face sideways to look at Sun Pingfang, and said slowly: "That's all for today's meeting!" The comrades who should have come are here, so let's get ready, and it's not too late to listen to the report tomorrow morning. ”

Sun Pingfang understood what Qi Tianxiang meant, so she raised her wrist and glanced at her watch, and said to Liu Ruwei with a slight smile: "The comrades from the grassroots townships and towns have rushed over, and it is also very hard, let them take a good rest!" ”

Qi Tianxiang and Sun Pingfang's words were directly explained to Liu Ruwei. Qi Tianxiang was more reserved, and Sun Pingfang was a lot more straightforward, without looking at Tao Ran, and without asking for his opinion. Liu Ruwei naturally knew this, hurriedly stood up, and whispered to the office director beside him, and then stood up and waited for Qi Tianxiang and Sun Pingfang to get up and leave the conference room.

At the end of the meeting, Qi Tianxiang, Sun Pingfang and other provincial and municipal leaders returned to their rooms, and after a simple wash, they came to the restaurant with Liu Ruwei and others who were waiting.

The time for dinner has long passed, but in the eyes of the many cadres who are waiting for dinner with Qi Tianxiang and other provincial and municipal leaders, they are still excited and looking forward to it. Time is not an issue, being able to get up close and personal with the governor is worth the long wait.

According to Qi Tianxiang's heart, he was reluctant to participate in this kind of group banquet, but considering the inner feelings of many county and township cadres, Qi Tianxiang did not refuse Liu Ruwei's suggestion, and readily agreed to have dinner with everyone.

In the past, not to mention high-ranking officials like Qi Tianxiang, even city leaders like Tao Ran also consciously avoided dining with many cadres, just to have a free and easy environment, which can also be said to be the embodiment of official authority.

Under normal circumstances, the more everyone knows about the arrival of the leader, the more they must show a sense of alienation, as if this can reflect the dignity and identity of the leader, but Qi Tianxiang is the opposite, willing to dine with everyone. This is unbelievable in Liu Ruwei's opinion, but it can also be seen that Qi Tianxiang does not have an official style, which many officials can't do.

Originally, the layout of dining in large and small restaurants was arranged, but because of Qi Tianxiang's easy-goingness, he could only make temporary adjustments, but it was not a difficult matter, and it was only arranged in ten minutes. When Qi Tianxiang, Sun Pingfang, Zhou Tong, Fang Jianshe and other provincial leaders, together with Tao Ran, Mao Zhigang and other city leaders, accompanied by Liu Ruwei and Wang Tongjun, walked into the banquet hall of the hotel, all the people participating in the welcome banquet were ready, and all the seats had been arranged, leaving only the main table in the middle empty, waiting for the arrival of the provincial and municipal leaders.

The atmosphere of the restaurant was full of anticipation, just like waiting for the dry wood of the fire, waiting for the right time and temperature to burn violently, and with the moment Qi Tianxiang and the others appeared at the door of the banquet hall, the dry wood broke out rapidly, but it was not a fire, but a more enthusiastic and fierce applause than the fire, surging and enduring.

Qi Tianxiang seemed to have foreseen such a scene, so he slowed down his pace and stretched out his hand to pat it gently, echoing the enthusiasm of everyone. But then he saw that something was wrong, stopped, turned to look at Liu Ruwei, pointed to the banner hanging on the front wall of the banquet hall, and didn't say anything, but he said everything with a slightly dissatisfied look.

This is also the work that Liu Ruwei temporarily arranged, and it was arranged in ten minutes between Qi Tianxiang and the others leaving the conference room and returning to the room. That is the big red banner hanging on the wall, "Warmly welcome Governor Qi Tianxiang to the banquet", which is placed on the wall behind the main table at the front of the banquet hall, which is eye-catching and prominent. But it was this kind of change that stimulated Qi Tianxiang's eyes, and also made him stop decisively, let everyone applaud warmly, and no longer looked at the banquet hall to take a step.

Liu Ruwei felt that he was self-defeating from Qi Tianxiang's unstrict and self-authoritative eyes, and without the slightest hesitation, he hurriedly waved his hand and motioned to the staff around him to take down the banner. In a moment's effort, everything returned to its original state, and Qi Tianxiang seemed to take steps without care, walking steadily towards the main table, calmly shaking hands with the cadres who were applauding warmly around him, until he was greeted to sit down in the middle of the main table.

An unpleasant episode was dissolved in the applause and eye exchange, although it was only an inadvertent moment, Qi Tianxiang still keenly saw the astringency of Liu Ruwei's expression, and also caught a glimpse of a flash of joy on Tao Ran's face. This made Qi Tianxiang's heart feel like eating a fly, nauseous but unable to vomit.

This is something that can be predicted, as the secretary of the municipal party committee of San'in City, watching the major events that happened within the scope of San'in City, not only was the limelight occupied by others, but also he was ignored and neglected, and the feeling in his heart was conceivable. Liu Ruwei's fart was in the wrong place, which was naturally Tao Ran's joy, and maybe he wished that Qi Tianxiang would leave with his sleeves and see how Liu Ruwei ended. But Qi Tianxiang only expressed a dissatisfied look, neither protested, nor did he have an exaggerated expression, and Liu Ruwei was just a moment of embarrassment, an obvious crisis, which was easily resolved, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful and unwilling.

"Sit down, everybody! How to stand and drink? Qi Tianxiang waited for the people at the main table to sit down one after another, and then gently looked at the people who were still standing and applauding, and said slightly teasingly: "Since we have waited until this time, I dare not say that they are all hungry and have their hearts on their backs, at least they have seen that the food is extraordinarily close, so don't be too restrained, let's eat generously!" ”

Qi Tianxiang's words caused a chuckle, and everyone sat down, and Qi Tianxiang continued with satisfaction: "Ushering in these red tape is a waste of time, and it seems redundant, and there are also some rituals, so there is no need." Originally, I didn't plan to attend this gathering, first, it was a little late, and secondly, a few comrades of age here had been busy all day, but thinking that the grassroots comrades had been waiting for so long, they all wanted to take a look at us, so they had to cheer up and gather with everyone. ”

"Since it's a local custom, don't have so many rules, and don't have any worries, everyone sits together just to eat, then let go of the mood to eat and drink, and other things will be said tomorrow." Qi Tianxiang's easy and honest words achieved good results, and everyone responded with smiles, which made Qi Tianxiang's mood also rise, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and proposed loudly: "Don't say anything superfluous, let's all drink this glass of wine together, it's the beginning." ”

Qi Tianxiang's proposal was unanimously echoed by everyone, and all speeches and speeches were dispensed with, there were no superfluous links, and the banquet hall soon entered the state of eating and drinking, and there was no transition, and it entered the stage of toasting and toasting, the scene began to become noisy, but it was carried out in an orderly manner.

This is the effect that Qi Tianxiang wants, neither causing a cold scene, nor involving too many other things, not to mention giving city and county leaders a chance to perform, making this so-called welcome banquet simple and short. Because Qi Tianxiang's focus is not here, he still has important things to do, but the necessary entertainment and process still have to be taken into account.
