Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 147 Compromise or Confrontation

After hanging up the phone, I waited for another half an hour before Zhao Xiaoya finally arrived.

As soon as the two shook hands, Qi Tongwei said with a little dissatisfaction: "Boss Zhao, you made me wait for so long. It turns out that this big store is a scam."

"No, no, I'm so sorry, Mayor Qi.

As the company grows, there are more things to deal with, so it's delayed." Zhao Xiaoya smiled, but there was no embarrassment on her face, and she still maintained her superiority.

The two sat down.

Zhao Xiaoya crossed her legs elegantly, and one of her slender legs wrapped in solid-colored thermal socks casually stretched out from her long skirt, inviting exploration.

A lady's cigarette was lit, Zhao Xiaoya slowly exhaled a white line and asked: "Mayor Qi, what other ways do you have to make money? Tell me, my price will definitely satisfy you."

"A hundred times profit in half a year." Qi Tongwei said succinctly.

"Are you kidding?" Zhao Xiaoya chuckled.

Qi Tongwei also took out his cigarette from his pocket and lit it slowly without explaining.

The room fell silent.

The two of them smoked quietly like this, neither of them spoke a word, trying to be serious and to see how much more determined they were.

Until smoke filled the room.

Zhao Xiaoya finally couldn't help but speak again, "What do you want?"

Qi Tongwei turned his gaze from elsewhere and stared at Zhao Xiaoya with a playful look, which made the other person feel uneasy.

Just as Zhao Xiaoya was about to lose her temper, Qi Tongwei spoke up, "I need the position of Jinshan County Party Committee Secretary."

Zhao Xiaoya sneered, "Impossible. Even if you have made great contributions, there is no one in China who can jump four levels from a clerk in one month, and become the top leader of a place."

"Mr. Zhao misunderstood. I wasn't talking about me, but someone else."

Zhao Xiaoya had a good memory and immediately remembered that she had read Qi Tongwei's background before.

"Are you talking about your teacher, Gao Yuliang?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhao, this shouldn't be a difficult problem. It can even be said to be very simple. My teacher himself will be transferred to the top to be the first or second in command. I just hope that this position will be Jinshan County."

"Li Dakang will not agree. Your teacher's work will be very difficult then."

"Don't worry about that. As long as you can arrange it, I will tell you the news immediately." Qi Tongwei glanced at the calendar in the reception room.

"Time waits for no one. It's already mid-November. Mr. Zhao, you only have one month to make the operation. After this time, even if you arrange it, the opportunity will be missed."

"How can I trust you? What if you stand me up?

Why don't you tell me the news first? As long as I make money, I will never treat you unfairly."

Qi Tongwei is not so stupid. After all, this is the news.

It is worth a thousand gold when you don't know it, but worthless when you know it.

"Boss Zhao, there is no benefit in lying to you. I would never harm my teacher. Besides, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Secretary Zhao's rise is unstoppable. I will not joke with my political life."

Zhao Xiaoya wanted to continue bargaining, but Qi Tongwei stood up and interrupted her, "Remember, Mr. Zhao, you only have one month."

After saying that, Qi Tongwei strode out of the reception room.

...

It was a week later when I returned to Yantai County.

Building roads is not an easy task, especially in this era.

Demand exceeds supply.

All kinds of materials require contact and negotiation.

It takes several months just to queue up and get the materials, not to mention looking for supply channels.

Qi Tongwei was anxious, but there were people who were even more anxious than him.

Zhao Xiaoya was eager to make money, so Qi Tongwei naturally had to use her connections. With just a few phone calls, he got things done in just a few days.

And Zhao Xiaoya promised to start mining as soon as possible because Qi Tongwei needed gravel as the foundation.

Otherwise, if the villagers alone relied on mining, it would be a huge project.

The first thing Qi Tongwei did after returning to Yantai County was to go to Xiao Jianhua to report on his work.

It’s mainly about Longkou Town.

The message we got from Xiao Jianhua was that he was still unwilling to cooperate.

Qi Tongwei was puzzled. Where did the other party get the courage? Liang Jingru?

"What is Ma Zhiyuan's attitude? Why must he support Jiang Chengtao? As the county magistrate, it is his job to develop Yantai County well."

Xiao Jianhua thought for a moment and said, "I think he has big ambitions. Just the Lone Eagle Town cannot satisfy his appetite. I think he not only wants you to give a share to Longkou Town, but also has other ideas.

At the Standing Committee meeting the day before yesterday, he proposed that Longkou Town should follow the example of the Qijia Village Vegetable Basket Project in Jinping Township and develop characteristic rural roads.

Xiao Jianhua reminded him again: "Your performance was too impressive, especially the signing of the contract with Longteng Group, which was widely circulated in the county. He was right to have such an idea.

I don't think this is a bad thing. The fact that someone cares about you means you are valuable. You should try to see if you can exchange this value for what you want.

Politics is all about constant compromise to make your path to advancement smooth.

Whether it is struggle or compromise, it is all for one's own way forward.

Of course, if you still follow your plan, I will support you."

Qi Tongwei nodded, "Then let me go meet him."

After leaving the secretary's office, Qi Tongwei went to the county magistrate's office on the third floor.

Ma Zhiyuan, 33 years old, has a thin face.

At such a young age, he is already the head of a county. He is considered young and promising with great potential for advancement.

However, compared to his classmate Qian Bufan, the 33-year-old powerful minister, the gap is not small.

Qi Tongwei always felt that the name Qian Bufan sounded familiar.

Qi Tongwei had made a report before he officially took office. Overall, he did not have a very good impression of this person.

"Oh, our star mayor is back. How was your trip to Jingzhou? Did you have a smooth trip? Xiao Zhang, please make a cup of my treasured Tieguanyin for Comrade Xiao Qi." As soon as he entered the door, Ma Zhiyuan was overly enthusiastic.

"It's going pretty well. It's precisely because of this that I came to report my work to you."

Although he was at the deputy director level, Qi Tongwei was still reluctant to use ten green dots to check on the other party.

After all, he had only been in office for a short time.

And according to what Xiao Jianhua said, the other party is probably standing against him.

Who made you Xiao Jianhua's man?

"No need to rush. This Tieguanyin is a gift from my old classmate Lin Cheng. It is top quality! You can't buy it even if you have money."

Lin Cheng's old classmate? Qian Bufan?

Qi Tongwei heard the hidden meaning, but he didn't know whether the other party was demonstrating or trying to win over.

"Then I have to taste it."

Zhang Da, the county magistrate's secretary, skillfully prepared tea in a white porcelain cup and brought it over.

Qi Tongwei thanked him, took it over, looked at it, smelled it, and then praised: "Not bad, bright yellow-green, with a refreshing fragrance, it's rare."

"It seems that Comrade Xiao Qi is not a simple person. Not only is he excellent at work, but he also has remarkable achievements in tea ceremony."

Qi Tongwei smiled secretly. When it comes to drinking tea, let alone the current county and department-level cadres, even the bureau-level cadres may not drink as much or as well as he does.

Not to mention that I spent a lot of money on buying tea during college, even in my previous life, the variety of tea I drank was far beyond what we can compare to this era of material poverty.

Not to mention that Huawei Group has already started to get involved in tea.
