Zhou Hongji stood up to greet him and welcomed Sun Ximin in.

"Governor Sun, please sit down." Zhou Hongji looked eager and poured a cup of tea and handed it to Sun Ximin.

However, Sun Ximin frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable because Zhou Hongji was too polite to him.

With his relationship with Zhou Hongji, being too polite is not a good thing, because another meaning of politeness is alienation, which is a passion for doing business without personal feelings.

It should be said that there has been an irreconcilable division between him and Zhou Hongji on the issue of the Five Mountains.

According to common sense, as the governor, he should not interfere in the affairs of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, but in terms of his personal relationship with Zhou Hongji and his common interests in Qi Province, he must intervene in the issue of the Five Mountains, because the issue of the Five Mountains is the key among the keys.

The Prime Minister came to Qi Province here and thought of inspecting the Five Mountains, but unfortunately, Mayor Sima Bei escaped.

It would be better if Sima Bei was just absconding, but Zhou Hongji did not discuss with him in advance and directly imposed a double-handed inspection of 10,000 yuan, which made the Prime Minister's inspection plan fail!

How could the Prime Minister escape to a mayor, and the city *** director was inspected by a prefecture-level city with double supervision? It was just a joke!

Why didn't Zhou Hongji slow down and then regulate the two 10,000 yuan? If you want to gain a foothold in Qi Province and want to collect power within the Discipline Inspection Commission, you don't have to hurry up. You can make a decision and then act. Sun Ximin was quite dissatisfied with Zhou Hongji's practice of directly bringing the 10,000 yuan back to the provincial party committee from Wuyue, which obviously created a problem for the Prime Minister's inspection.

Yes, it was because he called Zhou Hongji that he was hesitant for a moment, which led to Sima Bei's escape. But the problem is that no one can predict the progress of the situation, and he cannot blame him all? Besides, isn't he also considering the overall situation?

Sun Ximin was convinced that the Prime Minister's inspection would definitely break the current deadlock in Qi Province and make the entire situation develop in a direction that would benefit his side. Because there is reason to believe that the Prime Minister will spare no effort to support him. And the more stable his foundation in Qi Province, isn't it also the more beneficial it will be to Zhou Hongji?

Zhou Hongji's eagerness to break the situation is understandable, but it's better not to be Xia Xiang's gun. He Jianghai is ready to retreat. What else do he want? Do you want to pull He Jianghai too?

Only by cooperation can we win-win situations, otherwise, we may end up with a miserable end.

Sun Ximin decided to present facts with Zhou Hongji before the Prime Minister was about to come, so as to avoid him going further and further on the road of opportunistic tricks...

"Hongji, fundamentally speaking, we still have to join forces with Jiang Hai and cooperate with Xia Xiang, which is just a temporary solution." Sun Ximin did not go around in circles and said straightforwardly, "The Prime Minister also has high hopes for you, hoping that you can achieve results in Qi Province. I was in the capital and heard the Prime Minister praise you in person. Besides, Jiang Hai just expressed his willingness to cooperate. Although it was a bit unpleasant some time ago, I believe that with the Prime Minister's inspection, Qi Province will restore its original peace."

The original meaning of peace is naturally to mean that He Jianghai continues to grow up, and Sun Ximin and Zhou Hongji, as a force, also rose up. The two sides cooperated sincerely and used the east wind of inspection to suppress Xia Xiang.

Zhou Hongji didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly and took a sip of strong tea.

He has the habit of drinking strong tea. Although strong tea is a bit bitter, it is refreshing and sobering.

In fact, whether it was a double-register of ten thousand yuan or a major decision that echoed Xia Xiang, he had been very sober from beginning to end, without any impulse or incompetence.

Sun Ximin and he were from the same family and had natural common interests, but it does not mean that he must be consistent with Sun Ximin in everything. He has his own way of acting and... plan!

At this stage, he is secretly cooperating with Xia Xiang. He also knows that Xia Xiang is using his hands to leverage He Jianghai's interests, but then again, isn't he using Xia Xiang's hands to break the deadlock for himself?

In Zhou Hongji's bones, the different idea of ​​Xia Xiang asking for the people to punish corrupt officials was that he wanted to take office as the Discipline Inspection Commission, just like Xia Xiang was in Hunan Province, and the goal was to step on the corpses of countless corrupt officials. He had passion and dared to act, but Sun Ximin resigned because of the blame for the Yan Provincial Party Committee. After taking office as governor of Qi Provincial Party Committee, everything was too conservative.

When it comes to He Jianghai, in fact, he had an in-depth conversation with Sun Ximin before. Sun Ximin meant to slowly draw it, let He Jianghai know that he must cooperate equally to have a way out. He advocated speaking with strength and using tough means to force He Jianghai to lower his arrogant head.

Although no consensus was reached at that time, the atmosphere was relatively relaxed and no unpleasantness occurred.

But in fact, he and Sun Ximin basically acted independently. Sun Ximin was still as low-key as a governor, but he began to take action, which directly touched He Jianghai's bottom line.

The facts also verified his inference. When he touched He Jianghai's core interests, He Jianghai could not do anything to him? And he took the initiative to make concessions, which made him look very despised He Jianghai's character. If he had known this, why would he have been the first?

Now that he has taken the initiative, Sun Ximin even advised him to stop, isn’t that a joke? It’s the Prime Minister’s inspection of Qi Province is the Prime Minister’s business, what does it have to do with him? As for the Prime Minister’s high hopes for him, he will not believe it. The Prime Minister will withdrew a year later. How much say can he have?

It is impossible for him to step further into the main department in a year, so he said that he had high hopes, just to draw a cake to satisfy his hunger.

The Prime Minister wooed Sun Ximin, but did not win him over. Besides, he did not care whether the Prime Minister showed goodwill to him. Sun Ximin's words did not cause any turmoil in his heart.

Besides, now that the arrow is on the string, it would be a big joke to ask him to stop.

"Governor Sun, the problem of Wuyue has reached a point where it is unsustainable if it is not handled. As a discipline inspection commission, you can't watch the illegal and disorderly affairs happen under your nose and not interfere. That is a dereliction of duty." Zhou Hongji's tone was very light, but his position was firm, and he did not respond positively to Sun Ximin's bitter advice. "The next step is to thoroughly investigate all the problems that were 10,000 yuan, and on the issue of Sima Bei's abscond, someone within the discipline inspection commission informed him and should also thoroughly investigate it."

Sun Ximin was very disappointed!

Not only did Zhou Hongji not show any sign of giving in or stopping, he also fought harder. Was he blinded his eyes by Xia Xiang, or was he too eager for quick success and instant benefits, and insisted on causing great storms in Qi Province and refused to give up?

Sun Ximin stood up: "Hongji, the political climate of Qi Province is very complex, and it is better to seek stability to achieve development."

Zhou Hongji nodded: "Governor Sun said, I will seriously consider how to get along well in the next step."

He said sincerely, but in fact he didn't have much sincerity. Sun Ximin knew that he could no longer convince Zhou Hongji. He thought helplessly that Zhou Hongji thought he had his wings hard and wanted to spread his wings and fly high. It would be fine if he let him fly by himself, touched the wall, and his wings were blown off by the wind. Only then did he realize that fighting the wind and waves was far from being able to fight with enthusiasm and passion.

It’s really hard to achieve great things without falling and hitting once!

When Sun Ximin returned to the office, he was still angry. The unhappy conversation with Zhou Hongji was beyond his expectations. He thought that Zhou Hongji would respect him a little, but he didn't want to give him a few polite words. He was really a young man who didn't know how to be so proud of him.

The Prime Minister was about to arrive in Shandong City. Sun Ximin packed up his things and was about to greet him. He Jianghai knocked on the door again and came in.

"Governor Sun, I have something to report to you..." He Jianghai looked mysterious, "The Prime Minister made a small request, and I hope we can cooperate."

Sun Ximin nodded slightly: "Okay, Jiang Hai, you said."

...

If we analyze a seemingly ordinary conversation between Sun Ximin and Zhou Hongji from the perspective of historians, it will extend many significant and far-reaching significance. However, as far as the parties involved do not realize what crucial impact this conversation will have on the future situation in Qi Province. What Sun Ximin did not expect was that an unexpected scene occurred during the Prime Minister's inspection.

The Prime Minister is here, and the Prime Minister is finally here.

All members of the Standing Committee of the Qi Provincial Party Committee, headed by Qiu Renli, as well as the CPPCC and the main leaders of the ***, grandly welcomed the Prime Minister and his party at the airport. Accompanying the Prime Minister's inspection work were the Director of the General Office of the State Council and other important figures.

During this inspection, the Prime Minister had not many people with him, and he was quite simplified in the car. As soon as he got off the plane, he waved to everyone affectionately: "Thank you for your hard work, comrades, you shouldn't have alarmed the comrades to pick them up. Comrade Renli and Comrade Ximin are too enthusiastic, but I still want to criticize you - it's too exciting to mobilize the troops."

The Prime Minister shook hands with everyone in turn, and everyone's name could blurt out, which made everyone feel very valued.

When shook hands with Xia Xiang, the Prime Minister stayed for a while and looked Xia Xiang up and down for a few more times: "I said Comrade Xia Xiang, I have known you for a few years, why haven't you changed at all? With your current age, you should have gained weight a little bit. I didn't expect that I would still be so thin, okay, and it's better to lose weight, which proves that I have worked hard for the country and the people."

Xia Xiang had to smile modestly: "I'm not doing well enough, please criticize the Prime Minister."

"You are a role model for many people when criticizing you for your own sake." The Prime Minister smiled, and everyone around him laughed. Under the beautiful sunny sky, the laughter was like the shadows under the sun, which had a meaningful smell.

Everyone thought that the Prime Minister would go directly to the provincial party committee, hold a small meeting first, and then carry out the next inspection work - the finalized itinerary is arranged in this way - but the Prime Minister did not go to the provincial party committee first, but went directly to the Provincial Salt Affairs Bureau, and visited an elderly widowed man as the Prime Minister.

The interesting opening, everyone knows that the Prime Minister's move implies strong hints, and what is even more puzzling is that it was not the Prime Minister who took the initiative to speak, but Sun Ximin suddenly proposed...

However, a more turning point scene happened later.
