Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 497: Second Procuratorate

Seeing that it was getting late and he had nothing to chat with the two brothers, Qi Tongwei offered to leave.

Liang's mother disagreed and insisted that Qi Tongwei stay for dinner before leaving.

It is given by the elders and cannot be turned away.

Qi Tongwei had no choice but to sit down again.

The Liang brothers chatted with Qi Tongwei in a casual manner.

Liang Jiang sighed, "Tongwei, I really admire you. In the past, I looked down on this department-level cadre, thinking it was child's play, much simpler than over there, and there was no need for training. You could just drink tea all day and get things done.

But when I really became the director of the Transportation Bureau, I found that it was completely different. The interpersonal relationships alone kept me busy every day. Not only did I have to deal with my superiors, but I also had to deal with my deputies and subordinates.

These people are all very troublesome. The deputy mayor in charge of our department had a falling out with me just half a year after he came here. If it weren't for my father's reputation, that old man would have made things difficult for me.

What’s even more annoying is that a group of people are pretending to obey me, the parachuted-in leader, but actually disobeying me.

I'm giving orders now, but they're just perfunctory. I can't hit them, and I can't scold them. It's so frustrating. If I were there, I'd have beaten up such disobedient subordinates.

Qi Tongwei smiled and said, "Take your time. You just came from there, so your working style must be different. In the officialdom, it is important to be gentle and gentle, and to be noisy will only make people look down on you."

"Yes, yes, I only realized this in the past six months." Liang Jiang asked again: "Tong Wei, what do you think I should do to make those deputies obey me?"

Qi Tongwei said: "There is no standard answer to this question, it requires specific analysis.

For example, why did these deputy directors collude to sideline you? First, we need to find the cause so we can prescribe the right remedy."

Liang Jiang thought for a moment, "I think I blocked their path to promotion. I know that if I hadn't stepped down, the executive deputy director would have had the best chance of being promoted to director, and the others would have been able to move up in the same position."

Qi Tongwei laughed and said, "This is because they haven't put themselves in the right position. This contradiction cannot be reconciled. If they haven't been promoted, then they haven't been promoted. You need to give this kind of people a hard time.

You have to be prepared. First, find out if there is anything unreasonable in his usual behavior. Then find the right opportunity to make an example of him to scare the monkeys.

Of course, just suppressing them won't work. You always need people to do the work. After suppressing the second-in-command, you have to find a way to win over the third and fourth-in-command. We rise and fall in official circles, and we don't have any deep hatreds. It's best not to make too many enemies, and win over as many as possible."

These are all very simple principles, easy to say but difficult to do. Sometimes you just understand them, otherwise no matter how you teach, it will be useless.

As we were chatting, we heard a noisy sound outside. It was very noisy.

Qi Tongwei looked out the window and asked, "What's going on outside?"

This is a retirement home for senior officials, not a vegetable market, so this kind of sound is really abnormal.

Liang He said, "Hey, Tongwei, you don't know, maybe it's because enemies often meet on narrow roads, but our enemy lives right next door to us, just one door away."

"Enemy? Our family has an enemy? Who?"

"Of course there is, Chen Shan!" Liang He just opened his mouth and Liang Jiang poked him.

Liang He then realized that he had said the wrong thing. That was the man who hurt his sister. It was really inappropriate to say these things in front of his brother-in-law.

Little did they know that Qi Tongwei was the witness of the whole process and knew more than they did.

Qi Tongwei nodded and said, "You are talking about the home of former Chief Prosecutor Chen Yanshi, right?"

"Yes, it's his family, Tongwei, you...you know everything." Liang He was stunned.

"How could I not know? You forgot, I was still a student at the time. Their affair caused a huge uproar at school, and I was the one who mediated it."

Liang He slapped his head and said, "Look at me, I'm confused."

"You haven't told me what this is about yet?"

"What's going on?" Liang He snorted coldly, sarcastically saying, "Some people just don't retire. Even now, that old man still thinks he's the Chief Prosecutor. He often receives guests at his home. Someone behind him jokingly calls his place the Second Procuratorate. Isn't that funny? I wonder who's complaining about this."

Liang Jiang also joked, "People say it doesn't matter if the case hasn't been tried in court, or if the public security department doesn't handle it, as long as the old prosecutor 'files the case'."

Qi Tongwei understood.

To be honest, Chen Yanshi's move is a good thing for the people.

In the past, a netizen discussed this matter and said: If you were an ordinary citizen, the person who raped you or bullied you might be a relative of Director Qi, and the only one who would help you would be Chen Yanshi.

Rough words are not rough.

Regardless of whether the other party is seeking fame or holding power, it does provide the people with a place to redress their grievances.

But doing so will cause considerable harm to the public security, procuratorial and judicial departments.

If you put yourself in Qi Tongwei's shoes, as he is the leader of the public security, procuratorial and judicial organs, you would probably have a headache.

If everyone were like him, the relevant departments would be in chaos.

"No one reported him?"

Setting up a private court and interfering with the judiciary is a serious problem. Others just say hello at most, but his move is too obvious.

"Who would dare?" Liang Jiang said, "This old man even dared to scold the current provincial governor, Zhao Lichun, to his face. Who would dare to report him?"

Qi Tongwei nodded and didn't care anymore.

After chatting for a while, the noise outside was indeed getting louder and louder, accompanied by crying and shouting, which made it impossible for the three of them to concentrate on chatting.

Seeing this, Liang He stood up and said, "I'll go take a look. This is in Tianxin District, and my car, as the deputy district chief, is parked outside. If I don't go take a look and the old man finds out, there will be something to say."

Qi Tongwei nodded, "Then you have to go and take a look. So, let's go together."

Mass incidents can be big or small. Qi Tongwei is worried that Liang He is not handling the matter comprehensively, so he has to help.

Anyway, he has the aura, so the situation won't get out of control.

Once we left the yard, the noise became louder.

More than a dozen ordinary people knelt in front of the gate of Chen Yanshi's courtyard, crying loudly.

Except for Chen Yanshi and his wife, the doors of the nearby courtyards were all closed, and they obviously did not want to get involved in this matter.

"Chief Prosecutor Chen, please redress our injustice. My child died tragically."

Chen Yanshi helped everyone up while shouting, "Everyone, get up! If there's anything, we can talk about it later. We in the Red Star Party are not officials in feudal society. We don't accept this kind of behavior."

"If you don't agree, we won't get up."

"Yes, I can't get up!"

...

Chen Yanshi smiled bitterly and said, "You don't believe me. Fine, as long as you have a reasonable and legal basis, I will help you. Hurry up and get up."

The group then reluctantly stood up and started talking about how they wanted to seek justice.

Seeing that the situation was under control, Liang He was unwilling to get involved. He waved his hand and asked the driver to leave.

He pulled Qi Tongwei and prepared to close the door.

The fact that the case was brought to Chen Yanshi must have involved the inaction of lower-level officials. Liang He felt that he did not have the ability to handle it.

Qi Tongwei disagreed. "Liang He, your car must have been seen by the old cadres nearby. If you don't come forward, they will definitely sue you."

Originally, the old cadres were already very annoyed by the complaints from the common people. If they didn't come forward, it would affect their reputation, and if they came forward, they would be criticized.

Now, you, the deputy district chief, are here. If you don't show up, they will report you to the municipal and provincial party committees for inaction.
