It's dark at night.

The lights in most of the rooms of Qihe Hotel were extinguished, and most of the guests fell asleep.

Only a few rooms are still lit.

The lights were on, including the room of Cao Cheng, deputy director of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee.

Cao Cheng is still neatly dressed, sitting quietly on the sofa and reading a book, the title of the book is "Lin Wenzhong's Father-in-law", published overseas, in traditional vertical arrangement. Cao Cheng looked at it line by line, looking very serious.

The review meeting presided over by Rong Qigao himself lasted until more than nine o'clock. You Limin, Yuan Liuyan, Duan Chenxin and other major leaders of the provincial party committee all participated, and all members of the Qihe Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government were ex-officio participants, except for Mayor Guo Qinghua. Guo Qinghua's health is really not good, high blood pressure is very serious, after the illness, he is still in the hospital for infusion, with his physical condition, he really can't come to this meeting.

Rong Qigao didn't tell him to come to the meeting.

At this meeting, Rong Qigao was bound to be furious, and the two party and government officials, the secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor, must bear the brunt. Guo Qinghua is only three years younger than Rong Qigao, and he is sick, if he is present, Rong Qigao's anger will not be so enjoyable.

In any case, scolding a sick old comrade, such a thing, the secretary of the provincial party committee cannot do.

Guo Qinghua might as well not come.

The secretary of the Yunhu County Party Committee, the county magistrate, the director of Chaoyang Farm, the secretary of the party committee and other relevant cadres must also attend the meeting.

In addition, Fan Hongyu, Liu Bin and other secretaries of the provincial party committee leaders were also seated in the conference room. There are not many rules for this kind of impromptu meeting.

After the meeting, Cao Cheng kept reading in his room.

About a quarter after ten o'clock, the pager on his waist rang, Cao Cheng picked it up and took a look, slowly put down the "Lin Wenzhong Document", got up and sorted out his clothes in the mirror. Grab your key and walk out the door.

A half-new Santana car quietly stopped in the shade of a tree in front of the hotel, it was so dark that it was not easy to see the license plate. The Santana driver did not get out of the car, but lowered the window and stared nervously at the hotel lobby. Seeing Cao Cheng walking out unhurriedly, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Cao Cheng walked straight to Santana, got into the back seat, and said nothing.

The driver also did not speak. As soon as he stepped on the accelerator, Santana drove out of the hotel. About ten minutes later, Santana stopped at the office building of Qihe People's Hospital. The driver jumped out of the car, neatly opened the back door for Cao Cheng, and whispered, "Director Cao, hello." Secretary Tan is in the dean's office. ”

Cao Cheng nodded and got out of the car unhurriedly. Put your hands behind your back.

The driver bowed slightly and said respectfully: "Director Cao, please!" ”

The driver's age may be on par with Cao Cheng, but the temperament of the two is really worlds apart.

The office building of Qihe People's Hospital is newly built. But it's still old-fashioned. The driver led Cao Cheng straight up to the fourth floor. The entire office building was silent, and the staff had already gone home from work. But the lights in the corridors on every floor are on. Brighten up the new office building.

Tan Qihua was already waiting for Cao Cheng at the staircase on the fourth floor, and when he saw Cao Cheng, he immediately smiled all over his face, and stepped forward quickly, stretching out his hands for a long time. said in a loud voice: "Director Cao, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." I'm really sorry to have you come to the hospital in the middle of the night, I'm sorry......"

Cao Cheng shook his hand with a smile and said, "It's okay. Secretary Tan's wound has already been treated, right? Does it matter? ”

Tan Qihua was a little embarrassed, smiled hehe, and said: "It's all skin trauma, it doesn't matter, Director Cao smiled......

The scratches on his face have been treated. This kind of scratch is really the most headache for doctors, and they can't be dressed, let alone bandaged, so they have to be simply cleaned and disinfected. If it is an ordinary patient, it is enough, the key is that Tan Qihua is the secretary of the municipal party committee, which makes the hospital tricky. The doctor really wanted to invent a special medicine, as long as he wiped it on Secretary Tan's face, Ming'er's scratch disappeared.

It's a pity that this special drug only exists in science fiction works for the time being.

These scratches on his face, today, they really made Tan Qihua look good. When Rong Qigao's angry eyes swept over, Tan Qihua really wanted to find a hole to drill into. And the team members and subordinate cadres who are in awe of him on weekdays look at him, and they seem to be a little different from usual. Especially Zheng Meitang's eyes, with obvious mockery, couldn't be suppressed.

A general who has flown a white flag will no longer be respected by the soldiers no matter what.

These scratches are Tan Qihua's white flag, engraved on his face, and he can't be brushed off.

These grandsons of Chaoyang Farm, after this matter passes, if I, Tan Qihua, don't ask you to settle this account, I won't believe Tan!

Tan Qihua secretly gritted his teeth in his heart.

However, at this moment, Tan Qihua did not have the heart to consider "settling accounts after the autumn", he had to get through the current difficulty first

Close again. The employees of Chaoyang Farm are going back, which does not mean that the matter is over. Rong Qigao, You Limin, Yuan Liuyan and other provincial leaders are still living in Qihe. If you want to return to the provincial capital, it is more than two hours by car, which is not too long. Rong Qigao didn't leave, which obviously means that this matter is not over.

Tonight's meeting is mainly about studying the aftermath.

When such a serious mass incident occurred, the first, second, and third leaders of the provincial party committee rushed to Qihe City, and the secretary of the provincial party committee even "went into battle shirtless" and rushed to the front line before it was temporarily calmed down. If you don't deal with a few cadres, it will definitely not work.

Otherwise, if similar incidents occur in other regions in the future, how to deal with them?

Tonight, Tan Qihua really didn't dare to see Rong Qigao.

It is true that he is a cadre promoted by Rong Qigao, and Tan Qihua has always regarded himself as "Secretary Rong's descendant". Only Tan Qihua himself knows what kind of status he has in Rong Qigao's mind. The lineage is the lineage, and the henchmen are far from being talked about. The Director Cao in front of him, who is more than ten years younger than himself, is Rong Qigao's real confidant.

Tan Qihua was secretly glad that he had made great efforts to have a good relationship with Cao Cheng back then, what a wise decision. Cao Cheng was also interesting enough, he didn't shy away from talking here, and ran to the hospital in the middle of the night to meet him.

Going to Cao Cheng's room in Qihe Hotel to pay a visit was absolutely undesirable, and Cao Cheng was afraid that he would never receive it.

Before this matter was dealt with, the secretary of the provincial party committee had a very happy conversation with the secretary of the Qihe municipal party committee in the hotel room, so that the other leaders of the provincial party committee saw it, how did they feel?

Looking at Cao Cheng's calm and relaxed appearance, Tan Qihua's heart suddenly became brighter. Perhaps, Cao Cheng agreed to come to the hospital to meet him, maybe with Rong Qigao's permission, right? At least tacitly.

To be a big secretary to the leader, he is really powerful, but there are also many rules and taboos, so he must be very cautious. Even Fan Hongyu, a famous "second pole", served as the first secretary of the provincial government for nearly a year, and he never "made trouble" in the provincial government organs, and the relationship between colleagues was handled very harmoniously. With Cao Cheng's low profile, he will only be more cautious.

As a veteran leading cadre, Tan Qihua's analytical and reasoning ability is indeed very strong. Cao Chengzhen reported to Rong Qigao that he planned to visit Tan Qihua in the hospital. After all, Tan Qihua was injured, and it looked like a skin injury, but who knows if there are other "internal injuries"? In any case, Tan Qihua is also the secretary of the Qihe Municipal Party Committee, the identity of a prince. Rong Qigao's criticism is criticism, and what should be cared about must be cared for.

Rong Qigao was silent.

Cao Cheng knew Rong Qigao's intentions.

Thunder and rage, slapping the table and scolding, are all necessary. It is also necessary to educate patiently and care for comrades.

"Director Cao, please come here!"

After shaking hands and greetings, Tan Qihua said respectfully and stretched out his hand to invite. Cao Cheng was younger than him and had a lower level than him, but Tan Qihua didn't feel anything wrong with doing so.

Cao Cheng and Tan Qihua walked into the dean's office together.

The office was empty, and the director of the hospital was nowhere to be seen. The lights were also on in another office far away, and I guess the dean and his attendants were staying there.

It is not so good to say this, in any case, in the people's hospital, the president is the head of the hospital, and he should be allowed to show his face in front of the first secretary of the provincial party committee. If it were on weekdays, with Tan Qihua's personal feelings, he would definitely arrange it like this.

It's not necessary today, the timing is not right.

Cao Cheng doesn't have time to talk nonsense about "idle people".

The dean's office is more luxuriously furnished, and the sofa in the hospitality area looks even leather. Even if it is artificial leather, it is a relatively high-end artificial leather. Hospitals, understandably, are not bad for money. Not to mention the newly built office building.

"Director Cao, please sit down!"

Tan Qihua politely asked Cao Cheng to sit down in the couch.

Cao Cheng smiled and sat down on the single sofa on one side. No matter how much hidden power you have, it's a different matter. The rules on the surface can't be broken. Cao Cheng is not Fan Hongyu, let alone Zheng Meitang. In these details, Cao Cheng did not think that was necessary. In addition to "pulling hatred" for oneself, it is not possible to establish the so-called prestige.

Cao Cheng insisted that true prestige must be built on real strength.

If you don't have the strength, that's called pretending.

and he who shall be struck by lightning.

Tan Qihua confessed his guilt and sat down on the single sofa opposite.

The driver followed the two leaders into the door closely, and was busy serving hot tea, and the coffee table was placed with "Qingshan King" and a few kinds of fresh fruits, which were fully prepared.

Tan Qihua explained to Cao Cheng that this is the deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee Office, that is, his secretary.

When he met with Cao Cheng at night, everything had to be kept secret, and even his driver, Tan Qihua, was taken away and did not let him participate in it. It can be seen that Cao Cheng is more satisfied with Tan Qihua's caution.

Tan Qihua breathed a sigh of relief again.

A veteran of officialdom, after all, is not ordinary.
