Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 548 New Secretary

Fan Ningde hurriedly stood up with Wang Wenjie, "Mayor, this is Comrade Wang Wenjie. When he was young, he was a famous writer in our Municipal Party Committee Secretariat. He has been working in the Municipal Archives for many years and has accumulated a lot of experience. Would you like to take a look?"

Fan Ningde secretly observed Qi Tongwei's expression and felt uneasy.

Wang Wenjie's image is really bad. No matter how he dresses up, his skinny figure does not match Qi Tongwei, the young and tall mayor.

Qi Tongwei looked up and saw a middle-aged man with dark skin, thin body and slightly old-fashioned clothes.

[White] Wang Wenjie, Friendship: 3

Sign-in probability: 30%

Background: None

It's really rare to have a friendship level of 30% on the first meeting.

Qi Tongwei became interested, "After so many years, we are still not unfamiliar with each other."

Fan Ningde nudged Wang Wenjie, who quickly pulled out a few sheets of paper from his pocket and placed them on the table. He replied, "Mayor, I'm not idle in the archives either. I'm still practicing. This is an article I wrote based on your recent speech. Please correct me."

Qi Tongwei picked it up, looked at it, nodded, and asked, "Is your skin natural or was it tanned?"

Wang Wenjie was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the mayor to ask him this question.

"The day after tomorrow."

"Weren't you in the archives? How did you get it exposed?"

Wang Wenjie was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and said, "There's not much work in our archives, so whenever I have free time, I go to the homes of the poor people nearby and help out as much as I can."

Qi Tongwei believed it. He came from the countryside, so he could naturally tell the difference.

"Okay, let's take him. Director Fan, please help him familiarize himself with the work process."

"Um, okay." Fan Ningde breathed a sigh of relief and took Wang Wenjie, who was pretending to be calm, downstairs.

When the news spread, no one could believe that Mayor Qi had chosen such a person after careful selection.

Wang Wenjie?

Never heard of it at all.

Everyone asked around to find out what abilities this person had.

A day later, when Wang Wenjie's office moved into the core location of the city government, everyone woke up from their dream.

Isn’t this Old Wang from the archives room?

The selection of the secretary gave everyone a deeper understanding of Mayor Qi. He is completely different from other leaders and is truly pragmatic.

If there is something good on the top, it will be great on the bottom.

From that day on, the entire atmosphere of the municipal party committee and government changed, becoming more pragmatic and down-to-earth. As for whether this is true or not, that is a matter of opinion.

……

Qiao Shan is the deputy mayor of Haikou, a county-level city under Beishan City.

As soon as the news of the rotation came out, he immediately went to Mingxin Community with the gifts he prepared.

This is Duan Feng's rule. He does not accept bribes personally, but his mistresses receive them.

Yes, in fact Duan Feng had several mistresses, but the most famous ones were Ma Yurong and Yan Dongping.

In terms of accepting bribes, Duan Feng also implemented hierarchical management. Every subordinate cadre who gave gifts would have a mistress superior who was specifically responsible for them, and Ma Yurong was Qiao Shan's superior.

Qiao Shan thought he had arrived early enough, but he saw several waves of familiar leaders and cadres at the entrance of the community.

Qiao Shan felt a little uneasy. The situation in Haikou City had not been good in recent years, and there was not much profit to be made. He was uncertain whether the 20,000 yuan he earned would allow him to continue to stay in his position.

Sure enough, the following conversation did not go smoothly.

Just as he put down the gift, before he could speak, Ma Yurong glanced at the thickness of the bag and said, "Mayor Qiao, are you here for the rotation?"

Qiao Shan hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Yes, sister-in-law, please tell Secretary Duan that I...have sent you this token of my gratitude."

Ma Yurong pretended to be embarrassed and returned the "heavy" gift wrapped in newspaper.

"Mayor Qiao, this is really difficult to handle. You should go back first." Ma Yurong imitated Duan Feng and patted his cigarette. "A lot of people have come to see Old Duan recently, all about rotations. Old Duan is also worried. The higher-ups have only given him a few spots, and there are so many cadres to protect. It's really difficult."

Qiao Shan glanced at the other party's gesture and said with a wry smile: "Sister-in-law, you also know that the overall environment has been bad in recent years..."

Yan Dongping glanced at the other person and said disdainfully: "Why is it that your overall environment is not good? Sometimes you should look for the reasons from yourself. Have you worked hard? Have you done your job well over the years?

"If you want to make money as an official, you must make money as an official. If you don't make money as an official, and you don't know how to extend your money when you should, then what kind of official are you? Can you really serve the people?"

Qiao Shan was scolded so harshly that he was almost stunned.

You two nosy bitches dare to pretend to be so arrogant. If Duan Feng hadn't protected you two, I would have taught you a lesson.

Although he was secretly angry, he dared not say anything on the surface. He could only nod in agreement repeatedly. After a pause, he looked at Ma Yurong and pleaded, "Sister-in-law, you know what kind of person I am. I have helped you a lot. If I go down, who will take care of you? Please help me this time, and I will definitely repay you handsomely later."

"What's the big deal? It's serious." Ma Yurong sighed and said, "Qiao Shan, I really want to help you, but you know, we have to make do with each other. All of Old Duan's subordinates are very good people. I'm in a difficult position.

Especially at your age, the biggest fear is being laid off. Not only will you lose your chances of promotion, but you'll also be marginalized." Then he said, "I heard from Old Duan that the situation is changing rapidly now. The new secretary and mayor can make decisions on the spur of the moment. If policies change in the future, you might become reserve cadres." He then asked, "Qiao Shan, you're fifty, right?"

Qiao Shan nodded. "In two months, I'll be fifty."

"I'll be gone for two or three years, and when I come back to familiarize myself with the work again, I'm afraid I'll have to retire.

But thinking about it, it's actually pretty good. Our Lao Duan has a pretty good attitude. He said he would work hard to the best of his ability in the remaining days. In the future, his later years will be happier than everyone else."

Qiao Shan understood what she meant. "Sister-in-law, it's not that I don't want to work hard. The city has regulations now that all district, county, and city finances must obey orders. Every expenditure must have a legitimate reason. I... I... I really can't work hard at all."

Ma Yurong smiled and said, "Then don't work hard. Learn from us workers. We workers can survive even after being laid off for a few years without income. But for us cadres, being laid off for two or three years is like the sky falling.

Hard times will eventually pass, just look at the workers. After a few years, the city government will give them money, and good times will come.”

Qiao Shan's eyes widened. "Sister-in-law, this...this really can't be touched. The Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have repeatedly issued orders that anyone who dares to touch this will be dealt with severely."

Ma Yurong waved his hand and said seriously, "What are you thinking? I just admire the resilience of the people. Two hundred yuan a month is almost half a month's salary. But in fact, it's not enough. We used to live well with only a few dozen yuan a month."
