Secretary Lu heard Qin Ge say that he was ashamed, and knew that he was a little touched by his initiative to show favor to him in his heart, so he smiled heartily and said: "Comrade Qin Ge, you and I are colleagues, partners, and comrades-in-arms who fought in Tianjiang. To be honest, for more than a year, many people have thought that there are contradictions and estrangements between me and you, and there are also many people with ulterior motives who want to stir up the relationship between you and me. But I always believe that you, Comrade Qin Ge, are an upright person, an honest person, and a person who works selflessly and has made outstanding contributions to the development of Tianjiang. When I came to Tianjiang to take up my post, I would never be able to fight alone, nor would I be able to do a good job in a province on my own. Therefore, I especially need colleagues like you who have rich experience, strong ability and familiarity with the situation to help me and support me, and I especially want your understanding, support and cooperation.

"Before I came to Tianjiang, General Secretary Dun Dun warned me: The key to whether a local leadership group can have combat effectiveness, leadership, and achievements lies in unity. Unity is strength, not a slogan, but a real truth. Only when the team members are united, can our team have cohesion, centripetal force and decision-making power, and can we think in one place and work hard in one place, so as to give full play to the maximum energy of this leadership team. I have kept the general secretary's admonition in mind and never forgotten it.

"Moreover, before I came to Tianjiang, the general secretary also had a very pertinent evaluation of you, saying that you, a comrade, have come up step by step from the grassroots level, have a strong spirit of hard work, strong work ability, and are honest in government, and have a very good reputation among the cadres and the masses. Therefore, the general secretary instructed me: After taking up my post in Tianjiang, we must pay attention to doing a good job of unity with you, and we must be the two top leaders of the party and government to twist into a rope, and we must not tear down each other's platforms, fight openly and secretly, and not form gangs and factions or form parties for personal gain.

"I should have talked to you about that a long time ago. However, some time ago, when I got out of the car, I was not familiar with many situations, I didn't know much about your temperament and character, so I didn't talk openly and honestly with you about this issue for the time being. Today, I will take this opportunity to say what is in my heart, and if it is not right, please criticize and correct it! ”

When Secretary Lu said this, Qin Ge kept his eyes wide open and listened in a daze, but his heart turned over the river and the sea, setting off a huge wave - he never expected that Secretary Lu would have such a high opinion of himself, and he would be so sincere and honest with himself.

Especially when Secretary Lu talked about the general secretary's evaluation of himself, he almost leaned his ears over, for fear of missing any key words - you know: so far, Qin Ge has never heard the general secretary evaluate himself, and he doesn't know what kind of impression he has in the general secretary's mind. Moreover, before that, he always felt that the general secretary must not have a good impression of him, and he may not even have an impression of himself.

However, listening to Secretary Lu today, he realized that the general secretary has been paying attention to himself and judging himself. Moreover, the three sentences mentioned by the general secretary, "Comrade Qin Ge has a strong spirit of hard work, strong work ability, and honesty in government" are a high evaluation of himself. This made Qin Ge so excited that he almost shed tears on the spot'''''' and it was only at this time that Qin Ge really felt: Secretary Lu is indeed an upright and selfless husband, and he really wants to unite and work with himself to do a good job in Tianjiang Province. All kinds of dissatisfaction with him and all kinds of suspicions about him in the past show that he is narrow-minded. In particular, the "inverted deer alliance" is even more shameful and ridiculous.

And Secretary Lu, even when he knew that he and Wang Hai, Zhou Jiqing, Xie Hongda and others wanted to unite to fight Li Runji and squeeze out him, the secretary of the provincial party committee, he still treated himself with sincerity, did not take the opportunity to exclude dissidents, and did not hold grudges against himself. Therefore, Qin Ge said to Secretary Lu with both gratitude and guilt: "Secretary Lu, what you just said made me even more ashamed!" Frankly speaking: When you first came to Tianjiang, I was not convinced, and I have done some things that do not live for you, and I believe you know everything in your heart. You are so magnanimous, and I, Qin Ge, am not a person with a small belly. So, I now solemnly bow down to you! I feel that I have gained a lot from talking to you today, and I feel very deeply, and I am more regretful about the past. I don't want to say anything else, but I just want to express one attitude to you here: from today onwards, I will consciously safeguard your authority, consciously safeguard the unity of the Tianjiang Provincial Party Committee, and under your leadership, solidly promote the work of the government, strive to make some achievements, and live up to the general secretary's expectations of me. ”

Secretary Lu knew that Qin Ge was a tough guy, and it was very commendable that he could now say such words of repentance and apology, and express his determination to himself.

Therefore, he was also extremely relieved and happy in his heart, so he took the initiative to stretch out his right hand again, clasped it tightly with Qin Ge's hand, and said emotionally: "Comrade Qin Ge, don't say anything about apology and guilt. If a person is not a sage, who can be infallible? I know in my heart that all the things you did should have been pampered and deceived by others. By heart, you don't like that kind of intrigue. The reason why I want to talk to you today is that I think that you should be an upright person by nature, and there is a fundamental difference between you and those dark villains who hook and stumble. I am very relieved and very happy that you can express that state just now. I hope that the two of us will unite and do a great job in Tianjiang together, which is my greatest wish at present. ”

Qin Ge nodded solemnly and said, "Secretary Lu, a conversation with you is better than reading a book for ten years." I will keep this conversation with you in my heart. ”

Next, the two of them chatted a few more words. When talking about some people in the Central Committee, Secretary Lu suddenly asked Qin Ge: "Comrade Qin Ge, Director Wu Dongsheng of the General Secretary's Office, do you know him?" ”

Qin Ge shook his head and said with a wry smile: "How can I be qualified to know such a big person!" Director Wu is the closest person to the general secretary, and I don't know how many high-ranking officials want to make friends with him. A person of my status, if he wants to climb him, he can't climb high! ”

Qin Ge's sentence is a big truth: before the last adjustment of the main leaders of Tianjiang Province, Qin Ge once wanted to find a relationship to get to know Wu Dongsheng, and wanted to use his relationship to leave a good impression on the general secretary. However, Wu Dongsheng refused the middleman's request in one bite. Therefore, so far, Qin Ge has only met Wu Dongsheng once or twice, but he has hardly talked about anything.
