Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 444 Going North

Haizhou Hotel.

Zhong Wei specifically summoned Qi Tongwei alone. He was optimistic about this young man based on his recent observations and the information collected by his subordinates.

Qi Tongwei is indeed a rare good party member and cadre who serves the country and the people.

During the years in Jiangchang, the achievements were obvious to all.

It is really inappropriate for such a cadre to suffer from the jealousy and suppression of others. It also makes Zhong Wei feel some aversion to Mayor Jin.

The fact that Zhong Wei was able to become a member of the committee at such a young age certainly did not come from his background alone. He is naturally an outstanding person and has seen a lot of such suppression in the officialdom.

What's more, this man actually took him into account, which made him, who was always good-tempered, a little intolerable. When he came back that day, he had a quarrel with Zhao Lichun, saying: There are many talented people in Handong, and a cadre who is about to retire also does not forget to shine and contribute. He wants to be Bao Zheng and Hai Rui, to be impartial and just, and to kill relatives for the sake of justice. I just don't know if he really has Bao Zheng's impartiality and Hai Rui's integrity. If he is really such a good cadre, then he should really set an example for everyone to learn from.

These words made Zhao Lichun extremely embarrassed, and he hated Jin Changguo in his heart.

Zhong Wei also had his own purpose in summoning Qi Tongwei this time. Firstly, he wanted to protect this comrade. Secondly, he felt that such an outstanding comrade should be placed in a more suitable place, preferably under his supervision, and trained well.

The heavy door opened, and Qi Tongwei saw the deputy commissioner Zhong again, as well as Zhong Xiaoai standing beside him.

Unlike the relaxed atmosphere of the first meeting, Qi Tongwei felt somewhat guilty and uneasy this time.

I don’t understand what kind of image this incident will cast on him in the eyes of this deputy-level leader.

Zhong Wei waved his hand to let Qi Tongwei sit down, and first asked about Jiang Chang's work progress.

Qi Tongwei said that they are handling the aftermath work. The county committee plans to compensate the people who died in the flood. The people are very grateful and everything is going smoothly.

Normally, when encountering such a situation, people can only consider themselves unlucky, and the government will at most visit them to offer condolences and give them some consolation money.

But Qi Tongwei knew that this was man-made and even had something to do with him as the official, so the compensation he approved was not small.

But the simple people did not know this, and instead were grateful to him and the county.

After all, the county had been urging them to leave, and it was their secret return that led to the tragedy.

Zhong Xiaoai, who was standing by, interrupted and asked why Jin Changguo was targeting him. Qi Tongwei sighed and said, "It's a long story, so let's not talk about it anymore."

There is really nothing much to say. If I say anything, it will involve Qi Bin. Right or wrong is sometimes not important in officialdom. What is important is the position you hold.

Gao Yuliang wanted to expand his anti-corruption efforts and capture an official of high status to pave the way for his future promotion.

In order to consolidate his position and maintain balance, Qi Bin saved Jin Changguo, which eventually led to this tragedy.

In order to save his life, Jin Changguo fought back and again resorted to some shameful tactics.

No one is wrong, they just make their own moves.

Zhong Xiaoai didn't continue to ask questions, and it was hard to say whether their relationship was deep or shallow.

Since Qi Tongwei didn't need help, she didn't ask any more questions.

Zhong Wei didn't think much about it, he just thought it was a struggle between the airborne faction and the local faction, which was commonplace.

After a pause, Zhong Wei slowly spoke, "Comrade Tongwei, are you interested in developing in another place?"

Qi Tongwei was slightly stunned. "Commissioner, I don't know what you mean?"

"Do you have any ideas about going to the ministries?" Zhong Wei said with a smile.

Qi Tongwei's heartbeat suddenly slowed down. This was an olive branch thrown out by the leader.

When you go to a ministry, your perspective is different. Every policy is formulated with a national perspective.

And with the care of this big boss and my own abilities, I have a shortcut.

But he had worked so hard to run the business in Handong for so long, and it was really difficult for him to leave like this. Moreover, compared with the local governments, the ministries and commissions could not show their abilities at all. If he was just like everyone else, would they still value him?

After thinking about it, Qi Tongwei declined. "Commissioner, the ministry is indeed very good, but I still can't bear to leave my hometown and these people. I am afraid that if I go to the ministry, I will never hear the real needs of the people again. So I think I'd better stay in the local area and do more practical things for the people."

Zhong Wei smiled with satisfaction, "Very good, you always keep the common people in mind, which further proves your simplicity.

To be honest with you, I'm impressed by your economic ability and want you to move to a more difficult place."

Looking at Qi Tongwei's puzzled eyes, Zhong Wei said: In recent years, enterprises in many parts of our country have been unable to make ends meet due to management problems, and even triggered a large-scale layoff wave. It has become more and more serious in recent years, especially in some northern provinces, which have always been our industrial stronghold.

In special times, they have made great contributions to us. Now that peace has come and the country needs to develop, the oversupply of heavy industry has become a burden and we must seek transformation.

Unfortunately, many of our cadres in the north are not as agile as our comrades in the south and some coastal cities in terms of ideological transformation. Although they have tried and struggled over the years, the results have been minimal.

So, I want you to go to those places and change that.”

Qi Tongwei understood that this was a problem left over from Chinese history. The country had originally implemented a planned economy, and because the country was in a state of disrepair and had a weak industrial base, the north, as an industrial powerhouse, received a lot of support and subsidies.

This also brought them a period of prosperity. Decades of policy guidance have kept these companies in their comfort zone, resulting in bloated organizations and a lack of ambition.

With the advancement of the market economy, these enterprises lost policy support and lacked competitiveness, and naturally suffered a setback in the market, and eventually had to resort to layoffs and restructuring.

But this restructuring is irrelevant. Under the long-term focus on heavy industry, due to the lack of attention to the layout of private enterprises and diversified structures, laid-off workers actually found that once they were laid off, they had nowhere to go.

Once pessimism breaks out, many people even end up committing suicide.

Qi Tongwei accepted the challenge without a second thought, "Commissioner, I'm willing."

As the saying goes, the greater the difficulty, the greater the credit.

He doesn't have the ability to change the economic structure of the entire north, but he is confident that he can benefit every city and region.

Besides, he'd already hit rock bottom, how much worse could he get? If he could achieve even a little success, his superiors would see it and give him a promotion, hoping he could achieve even better results.
