Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 768: A Confusing Background

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly. Qi Tongwei sat in Beishan No. 2 car, looking at the streets and buildings outside through the window.

The car has slowly driven into Gonghe Road in the Hanjiang Provincial Party Committee compound.

Gonghe Road is a wide and quiet road, with green plants and tall plane trees planted on both sides. These green plants and the plane trees that have entered the withering period are intertwined with each other, as if forming a colorful barrier, separating them from the outside world and creating a world of their own.

Under this barrier, everyone who comes here realizes their own insignificance, so small that they need to look hard to see the sky among the swaying spots of light.

For the cadres and common people of Hanjiang, Gonghe Road is always shrouded in a mysterious and majestic veil.

This mystery and majesty is reflected in the power center of each province, but the way it is expressed is different.

Perhaps this sense of mystery and majesty is not created by the barrier seen by the eyes, but by power.

Power brings invisible pressure to people and creates illusions.

Qi Tongwei also had a slight illusion. He thought that he had come here too infrequently. In fact, this was his second time coming to this Gonghe Road.

The first time was when I was invited by Yu Huabei, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, to have a simple meal. I was busy responding to his calls, and it was already very late, so I didn't get a glimpse of the full picture of Gonghe Road.

Otherwise, with his experience, he thought he shouldn't have such an illusion.

In fact, Qi Tongwei didn’t know that the pressure he was under was largely due to his next choice.

He didn't know who to visit first.

There are still some rules for visiting officials. After all, your priority is basically equal to the direction you stand on.

But he seems to be a little special, and it seems that he has a good relationship with everyone.

There is no need to say much about the Provincial Party Secretary Pei Yihong. The first person to sign in when he arrived in Hanjiang was this leader, and he was also the first to sign in completely. Although he rarely reported to the other party, it was precisely because of the relationship between the two that he had the confidence to rush around when he first arrived.

Because he knew that according to the system's standards, the other party would definitely speak for him at the critical moment.

Besides, Governor Zheng Bingyi, the head of the provincial government, is quite kind to me. We call each other from time to time and he always gives me encouragement and support.

In fact, they did the same in action. The funding allocated under various names alone amounted to several hundred million yuan. This biased approach caused many comrades in other prefecture-level cities to secretly complain.

Another thing is that he is the mayor, so the first person he should report to is the governor. This is normal procedure.

As for Zhao Anbang, it goes without saying that he was the executive vice governor, stationed in Beishan, and was directly in charge of his superiors. They had a good relationship and he had also played a positive role in the revitalization of Beishan.

Many large enterprises in the province came to Beishan for investment and inspection because of the recommendation of this executive vice governor. He even called on the bosses to go to Beishan for a walk and a look on public occasions more than once.

This big man has made a lot of contributions to Beishan's achievements.

More importantly, the leadership will be changed in a few months, and the other party still has the highest voice. With all these conditions added up, it is impossible not to visit them as soon as possible.

However, he had to consider Yu Huabei. After all, he was from Yu Huabei's faction. Yu Huabei had publicly supported him, and he also appeared to be approaching Yu Huabei in front of outsiders.

It can be said that in official circles, he has been labeled as Yu Huabei.

Qi Tongwei had heard a lot about the grievances between Zhao Anbang and Yu Huabei. If he visited Zhao Anbang first, would it affect Yu Huabei's impression?

After all, I haven't signed in completely with Yu Huabei (there is no sign-in point). If this incident affects Yu Huabei, even if I sign in to the fullest in the future, this title may not look very good.

Of course, if it was someone else, it wouldn’t matter if it wasn’t good-looking, and he wouldn’t care, but after all, this guy was Yu Xiaoxiao’s father.

It made him take it a little more seriously from the bottom of his heart.

I never thought that one day he would be entangled because of too many connections and backgrounds. If Director Qi knew about it, would he be angry and use Barrett to snipe him?

Finally, after much consideration, Qi Tongwei decided to visit Pei Yihong first. After all, this was the top leader of the province and his real foundation.

Even if this causes others to become angry, there is nothing we can do about it. This is the most prudent way.

Pei Yihong still has a lot of room for improvement at his age. Zheng Bingyi is rumored to be transferred, Yu Huabei is a backup, and Zhao Anbang has not signed yet.

Taking all these factors into consideration, Pei Yihong is actually the biggest and best background, and visiting Pei Yihong will make Yu Huabei less resentful.

Second, visit Zheng Bingyi. As for Yu Huabei, let’s rank him third according to the ranking of the provincial party committee.

Entering the European-style buildings on Gonghe Road, the spacious road is lined with parked cars.

To be honest, Qi Tongwei came on the third day of the Lunar New Year, which is a bit late. Normally, the secretaries and mayors of each city are in the first batch, which means they have to come on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and some even come on the first day.

However, on the first day of the New Year, the main leaders have to go to the grassroots level to visit those on duty at the front line, or veteran cadres, sanitation workers, etc. It is impossible to meet with so many people, unless they are close relatives, otherwise they have to wait until the second day.

Starting from the second day of the Lunar New Year, the heads of various cities and provincial departments will formally greet their superiors and report on their work for the year.

As the mayor of Beishan City, who has been in the limelight recently, Qi Tongwei is indeed late.

When the car arrived at Building No. 1, there was no space left for parking. Qi Tongwei asked the driver to drop him off and waved for the car to drive away.

He looked up at Building No. 4 across the street, which belonged to Zhao Anbang and was also filled with high-ranking officials.

Qi Tongwei felt a little guilty, turned around and walked into Building No. 1.

Building No. 1 is not actually the first villa on Republic Road in name, but is actually the third one in order.

But that's how the officialdom works. No matter what the house or office's ranking is, it doesn't affect people calling it Building No. 1 or Office No. 1.

This is not only true for the provincial party committee, but also for all the cities below it. After all, there is no perfect order.

Even without mid-term adjustments, not everyone will be transferred out of their original city every five years.

Since I'm not being transferred, I can't move every five years to live in a new house or work in an office.

So some smart people put some ideas into the house numbers of the three secretaries. Regardless of the other standing committee members, they tried to rearrange the house numbers of these three as much as possible.

Of course, some leaders don’t care about these things. After all, there is a tradition of respecting old comrades. If the former leader happens to retire while in office, the doorplate will not be moved.

In Qi Tongwei's opinion, it was better to move, at least his subordinates, including him, would not enter the wrong door.

After he reported his identity, a staff member immediately informed him that Secretary Pei was meeting a guest and asked Qi Tongwei to wait in the living room.

If we were to name the most diligent leaders of the provincial party committee, we would name Pei Yihong and Zhao Anbang.

Although according to regulations, Pei Yihong has rest time, but when his subordinates come to visit, Pei Yihong can't help but use the study as an office and the living room as a waiting room to do his work and listen to reports.

Qi Tongwei didn't think much about it, said thank you, and found a seat in the living room to sit down.
