Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 571 Deepening the Rotation System

Without letting Qi Tongwei wait long, Zhu Hongwen knocked on the door.

Qi Tongwei opened the door and welcomed the other person in, pointing to the sofa and saying, "Sit down."

"Hey." Zhu Hongwen sat down on the sofa properly.

Qi Tongwei made another cup of tea for him. The moment Zhu Hongwen saw the tea, two more wrinkles appeared on his face.

Zhu Hongwen carefully took the teacup, smiling somewhat flatteringly, "Mayor, I miss your tea so much."

He said that he didn't even mind the heat and took a sip as if he was enjoying it.

As soon as the tea took a sip, Zhu Hongwen smacked his lips and looked at the tea carefully, only to find that it did not seem to be Mingqian Longjing.

Qi Tongwei laughed and said, "What? Can't taste it anymore?"

Zhu Hongwen nodded, and commented with some doubt: "It tastes fresh and refreshing, and the fragrance lingers on the mouth. What kind of tea is this..."

"Lone Eagle White Tea." Qi Tongwei stood up and took out an exquisite gift box from the window.

On the green and white gift box is a beautiful landscape painting. In the middle of the painting, there is a huge eagle soaring in the sky, looking down on the world with great momentum. On the left side of the gift box, there are two big characters written in a flamboyant style - Lone Eagle.

"I'm out of the Mingqian Longjing you mentioned. Coincidentally, my family recently sent me two boxes of this. You can take one home and try it."

"How can I be so embarrassed?" Zhu Hongwen said politely, but his hand honestly took the tea. "Mayor, this is not cheap, I have never seen it in the world."

Qi Tongwei nodded and said, "Yes, it's new tea. When I was the mayor, I led the villagers to grow it. Now that the tea has reached its maturity and the first batch of new tea has been made, they specially sent me a few boxes. I just received them a few days ago.

As for the price, it's not expensive, a box is only about a hundred yuan, you can afford it, if you like it, buy some in the future, it will be considered as supporting them."

"Then I have to try it carefully." Zhu Hongwen looked at it carefully and put the tea away.

Qi Tongwei also made himself a cup and sat down at the main seat. "Okay, let's get down to business. How is the rotation system being implemented in the various municipal bureaus, districts, and counties?"

Zhu Hongwen said, "According to your request, some departments that are seriously overstaffed or unimportant will have 50% of their staff removed in the first round, while other departments will have 30%."

“What about their employment situation?”

"Except for those who took the exam for the investment promotion department, there were 371 people who chose to go out to work. Of these, 147 reported to the organization that they had found jobs in the cities they selected. Due to the order of priority, the rest are either still looking for jobs or on their way to leave."

Qi Tongwei nodded with satisfaction, "So the results are not bad."

Zhu Hongwen smiled and said, "After all, they are all intellectuals, so it's quite easy for them to find a job."

"Well, what kind of jobs did they find? Is there any statistics?"

Zhu Hongwen took out a document and handed it over. "I've compiled the statistics. Take a look."

Qi Tongwei took a look and found that there were all kinds of jobs, and various management positions were relatively common. After all, he had been a leader, and his temperament was still intimidating enough. In addition, with his knowledge, the average person was a college student, which was considered a high level of education in this era. Even if he had not been a college student, he would have solved this shortcoming before entering a leadership position.

Besides that, there were a few jobs that made him laugh and cry. "Scrap collector, water delivery worker, appliance repairman—not bad, pretty practical. I want to see their detailed information."

"Okay, I'll get it to you tomorrow morning."

Qi Tongwei placed the documents on the table and said, "You did a good job this time. I'm very satisfied. But this is just the first step. You need to keep working hard."

"Mayor, please give me your orders. I will definitely do my best."

"Okay, then I'll be frank. Next, I hope to continue to expand our achievements and include staff from various departments. As for the rotation ratio, the old rules apply and you will evaluate it. I still have one requirement: rotate as many people as possible without affecting normal work." Qi Tongwei said with emotion:

"Beishan City has been out of touch with the outside world for too long. We must let everyone see more of the outside world. Once everything is back on track, I will lead a delegation of leading officials from the municipal party committee and government to visit the south and various coastal cities to let everyone accept new ideas and change their minds."

Zhu Hongwen was a little panicked. The cadres who were rotated down this time cursed him half to death behind his back and even smashed the windows of his house outside the municipal party committee compound.

If a few thousand more people were to come, I would be skinned alive.

"Mayor, I don't think it's necessary to rotate these clerks. They're just a bunch of poor people. If they rotate, I'm afraid they won't even have enough food to eat."

Qi Tongwei's face darkened. "Why, you can't stand it in just two or three years? Then let them see how the common people have been living these past few years?"

I have said that no one can sit back and relax and enjoy the fruits of reform. Everyone must go through hardships and find their original intentions, otherwise their public spirit cannot be righted.

We shout loud slogans every day, saying that we are public servants. To be a public servant, we must act like a public servant. To be a public servant, we must know what the master needs.

Why, you don’t want to do it, or you have difficulties?”

Zhu Hongwen was embarrassed and confused, and could not help but stammer, "It is a little difficult..."

Qi Tongwei: "Hmm?"

"But I think I will overcome it." Seeing Qi Tongwei's face darken, Zhu Hongwen quickly changed his words.

"Well, that's great. Don't feel pressured, and don't be afraid of offending people. People might scold you today, but that's because they don't understand the city committee and government's efforts. But in a few decades, you'll be hailed as a hero by the people and a hero to the Party!"

Qi Tongwei took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit one, and said, "I'm not very familiar with the work in the city yet, so you need to help me out a little. Once I get the hang of it, I'll go to the provincial government and try to find a solution to your problems as a director. You've seen me, I'm a stickler for punishment, but I'll have to bear the test if you can."

Merit should be rewarded, this is Qi Tongwei's consistent principle.

Zhu Hongwen's eyes lit up, and he said gratefully, "Mayor... Thank you so much. Don't worry, I will do my job well."

Qi Tongwei nodded, hummed, and looked at his watch again, "Well, it's getting late. If you have nothing else, you should go back and rest early."

Zhu Hongwen seemed to have just remembered and said with a smile: "Mayor, I came here for a personal matter this time."

"Private matter! Fine, go ahead and tell me, but I have to warn you: if it's anything that violates discipline, don't say anything."

"No, no, you've been working hard lately, Mayor. I'm exhausted, too, so I'd like to invite you out tonight to relax." Zhu Hongwen said with a smile, "There's a new bathing center on Renmin Road. I heard the treatments are good and refreshing. Would you mind coming?"

Qi Tongwei didn't understand at first and thought the other party was asking him to do something or ask for funding, but he didn't expect that he would ask him to massage and wash his feet.

He vaguely felt a murderous aura rushing straight towards his back from upstairs.

Zhu Hongwen also felt it and turned his head to look. A woman with simple clothes and beautiful face was standing upstairs, looking at him coldly.
