Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 351 Distant Cousin

"Hello, cousin." Xu Xiaoman extended her hand generously.

Qi Tongwei shook hands with them, pointed at the two of them, and said, "Did I interrupt your date?"

Liang Zhiyuan quickly said: "No, no."

Xu Xiaoman smiled and said, "Not only is it not a disturbance, it's also a timely rain from heaven."

Qi Tongwei looked at Xu Xiaoman with an inquiring look.

Xu Xiaoman glanced at Liang Zhiyuan, ignored his rejection, and told him what had happened directly.

This story began a month ago when Liang Zhiyuan followed the director of the Health Bureau to inspect the Chinese medicine market.

The Chinese medicine market is located in the hometown of Director Wen of the Health Bureau, and the inspection was originally just a formality.

As a result, Liang Zhiyuan had to report the truth to the bureau and expose the local fake and substandard drugs, which made Director Wen embarrassed.

You should know that in addition to being Director Wen's hometown, many relevant leaders are old friends of Director Wen, and the Chinese medicine market is a pillar industry in the local area.

Liang Zhiyuan has essentially torn off the fig leaf of a group of leaders. Will Director Wen be satisfied?

Later, by chance, he was caught by Director Wen while delivering medicine to the deputy director.

It was Director Wen who originally nominated Liang Zhiyuan to stay in the Municipal Bureau, and this misunderstanding became fatal.

So Xu Xiaoman wanted Liang Zhiyuan to apologize to Director Wen, admit his mistake, and explain the matter clearly.

"Cousin, you have to persuade your cousin."

Liang Zhiyuan is indeed not suitable for officialdom. He offended the top leader just after starting work. His career is basically over.

Qi Tongwei smiled and said, "It's a small matter. Director Wen and I have met once. I will call him and explain it to him when the time comes."

Now Xu Xiaoman was even more surprised. From the other party's tone, it seemed that Director Wen was nothing in his eyes.

Indeed, Qi Tongwei has been here for so long that he knows many of the city's top leaders, big and small. Although most of them are just acquaintances, it is enough.

At least, few people in Haizhou dare to ignore Qi Tongwei's name, because he has a teacher who is the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee.

"Okay, you guys chat, I have something to do." Qi Tongwei patted Liang Zhiyuan and turned to leave.

Looking at Qi Tongwei and his secretary walking away, Xu Xiaoman asked curiously, "When did you get such a powerful cousin in Haizhou? Why haven't I heard you mention it?"

Liang Zhiyuan said unhappily, "I'm a million miles away from him, so don't take his courtesy seriously."

Xu Xiaoman rolled her eyes at Liang Zhiyuan and said, "I don't know if it's polite or not, but I think he quite appreciates you."

"Appreciate?" Liang Zhiyuan's eyes were full of doubt.

"Yes, I appreciate it. By the way, do you know what your cousin does?"

Liang Zhiyuan recalled, "I think he was the secretary of a county party committee."

Xu Xiaoman didn't believe it. "County Party Secretary? How old is he?"

"Really? My dad took me to visit him a few years ago. He's a top graduate from Handong University."

"What's his name? I'll go find out."

This really stumped Liang Zhiyuan. "His last name is Qi. I heard everyone calls him Secretary Qi."

"Secretary Qi?" Xu Xiaoman, who often followed Haizhou's political affairs, immediately thought of the man known as the youngest county party secretary in Handong. "Qi Tongwei?"

"That seems to be the name."

"Qi Tongwei is your cousin?!" Xu Xiaoman was stunned.

"I've already said we're not related at all. We have to go back several generations, five generations apart. To me, he's practically a stranger. My dad and sister are quite familiar with him, but this is only the third time we've met, and we haven't spoken more than ten sentences."

Xu Xiaoman knew Liang Zhiyuan's character, so she couldn't help but teach him, "You, if Secretary Qi gave you a heads-up, it would be better than working blindly for the rest of your life."

Liang Zhiyuan sneered, "I can't be so humble as to please others. If it's such an advancement, I'd rather not have it. I still believe that as long as I do my job well, the organization will not treat me unfairly."

"Organization? An organization isn't a surveillance system. It's made up of individuals. People have emotions and desires. If you don't take care of the organization's emotions and desires, how can the organization care about yours?"

...

While the two were still talking, Qi Tongwei had already crossed the park and arrived at the Gold Coast.

After half a year of construction, the property on the Gold Coast has taken shape.

Villas are lined up along the coast.

Qi Tongwei called the person in charge, Jiang Wu, to inquire about the progress.

As Qi Tongwei saw, except for the greening project, the 36 buildings in the first phase have been almost completed.

The next step will be to continue extending towards Jiangchang, with a total of 188 buildings.

The sales are also good. The first phase has been sold out. I heard that a big boss named Guo bought more than a dozen buildings by himself.

As for the second phase, many people have expressed interest.

Qi Tongwei was very satisfied with the result. The Gold Coast could be considered his political investment. If he did well, how could the Zhao family treat him unfairly?

Moreover, this is a legitimate and transparent investment promotion, and no one can say anything bad about Qi Tongwei.

Qi Tongwei gave Jiang Wu instructions on the next specific work, then got in the car and headed home. On the way, he called Director Wen of the Health Bureau.

He just said that Liang Zhiyuan's father knew him and asked him to give him more advice.

As soon as he returned to the county, Qi Tongwei's phone rang again.

"Boss, I hope I didn't disturb you."

The call was from Wu Guo, who used to be his secretary in Guying Town.

Years ago, Wu Guo expressed his desire to transfer back to his hometown of Haizhou to work.

Qi Tongwei did not refuse, as it is natural for people to want to return to their hometown to work.

Of course, he also knew that the other party had another intention, which was to continue following his footsteps.

"Well, did your transfer come to fruition?"

"Okay, okay. I agree to release him. The procedures on Haizhou's side are almost complete. He will be assigned to the Municipal Health Bureau as a deputy section chief or something like that."

"Well, that's not bad. Do your best and don't embarrass me."

"Leader, don't worry. What you said back then has been spurring me on. I haven't dared to relax all these years."

Three or four years of his career as deputy mayor made him realize more clearly that without a background, he would never be able to get promoted no matter how hard he worked.

At the end of last year, there were rumors in the county that Xiao Long would be promoted to be the deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

According to the order of succession, even if he doesn't say he will be the mayor, he can at least be the deputy secretary of Guying Town.

The result was news that nothing had changed.

At the beginning of this year, when he saw other people in Guying Town being transferred or promoted, he realized that without Qi Tongwei, no one would value him.

There was no way. Qi Tongwei had several secretaries in Guying Town, and he had not been with them for long.

Of course, if Qi Tongwei could give him a greeting, he believed there would be no problem going up.

But Qi Tongwei has made it clear that he will not interfere in local affairs.

Xiao Long recommended him to his superiors, but their suggestion was not adopted. Instead, they recommended him for the position of director of the county water purification bureau.

They say that the problem of being a regular officer is solved, but they just want him to make room. Once he gets there, I'm afraid that's the end of his life.

After much thought, he decided that the only option was to return to Haizhou and seek help from his old leader for a chance of survival.

Qi Tongwei didn't say much, just asked the other party to work hard after returning.

This made Wu Guo a little disappointed.

As for Wu Guo, Qi Tongwei felt that he was still capable and wanted to see what he would do when he came back, so he deliberately acted calmly.
