Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 462: Next Stop: Beishan City

Qi Tongwei sat down on the bamboo chair and looked at He Anxia with a playful look in his eyes. "Is Boss Chen really your friend?"

"What else?" He Anxia asked back unhappily.

Qi Tongwei raised his eyebrows and shrugged.

"No, what do you mean?"

Qi Tongwei spread his hands and said, "It's boring, just ask around."

"I don't believe you can just ask casually." He Anxia sat down opposite Qi Tongwei, "I tell you, don't make blind guesses."

"If you don't believe me, forget it." Qi Tongwei picked up the teapot on the table, poured tea for the two of them, and changed the subject. "Anxia, ​​what did you mean by recommending Yi Xuexi to be the county party secretary? Have you resigned?"

He Anxia smiled mysteriously, "You don't know yet, but we will soon become new partners."

Qi Tongwei was stunned when he picked up the teacup. "You were transferred too?"

He Anxia nodded. "Yes, I should have left long ago. My father is the provincial party secretary. It's not appropriate for me to stay in Handong. Even if he wants to promote me, he has to consider the impact. This time, thanks to you, we will both be transferred out of Handong."

"Do you know the destination?"

"I knew you would ask." He Anxia took out a document, "Beishan City, Hanjiang Province in the north. This is the information I searched for. Take a look at it during this period and learn as much as you can about the situation in Beishan City."

Qi Tongwei took it and flipped through it.

He Anxia introduced this on the side, "Beishan City, a city with the largest industrial zone since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The West Railway Industrial Zone is called an industrial zone, but in fact it is like a huge steel castle. There are trains instead of cars running on the road, and railways crisscross the country. Before the planned economy, one-seventh of the country's money was invested here.

In recent years, with the intensification of planned economy and reform, this steel giant has gradually lost its momentum, economic development has stagnated, and it has regressed for several consecutive years.

"Not even one in a hundred factories in the entire Western Railway Region remains, and millions of families are struggling to find a way out. This has become a major problem for our country."

After reading the information, Qi Tongwei felt a surge of pressure. "Commissioner Zhong really thinks highly of me."

Unlike Qi Tongwei's gloomy face, He Anxia was very optimistic, "Tongwei, the greater the pressure, the greater our opportunities will be.

I've heard that this time we've been appointed in a time of crisis, personally appointed by the Central Committee. As soon as I get there, I'll be directly appointed Municipal Party Secretary, and you'll be Deputy Mayor, Acting Mayor. If we follow the established procedures, it'll probably take us at least five years."

Qi Tongwei smiled bitterly, "Brother, I think this is just a temporary thing. If there are no results, then we can get it if we say we will get it."

"Isn't your wife the vice president of the Hong Kong Island Chamber of Commerce? Will we still be short of resources? My father is the secretary of the Handong Provincial Party Committee, and he can also use Handong's strength to drive Beishan City. If we join forces, I think there is still great potential."

"Don't be too optimistic. If the entire country can't solve this problem immediately, how can we just do it easily? If we want to make changes, it's right to streamline the government and lighten the load. But what about the workers? Millions of workers, plus their families, it's arguably several million people involved, equivalent to the entire Beishan City population. If we're not careful, it could become a mass incident. Are you sure our weak arms can't handle such pressure?"

He Anxia used provocation and said with a glare: "What? Are you scared? Is this still the heroic director I know?"

"Don't provoke me. I will definitely go. Even if not for myself, I have to do something for these people."

In his previous life, Qi Tongwei learned a little about the reform of northern heavy industry through the Internet.

The sentence that impressed me the most was: Workers should think for the country, if I don’t get laid off, who will?

It sounds cheerful, but there is so much sadness and tragedy hidden behind it.

The wheel of history's progress stirs up a grain of dust, which eventually becomes a mountain when it falls on the people.

If there is something he can do, Qi Tongwei is still willing to give it a try.

He Anxia smiled. "I knew I was right about you, but what you said makes sense. I'm afraid we won't be able to handle it just by the two of us. My dad has communicated with the Hanjiang Provincial Party Committee. If you need any assistants, you can bring them with you. This way, we can have an easier time."

"That's fine."

To be honest, Qi Tongwei's achievements in Handong are to a certain extent based on the original foundation.

Asking him to rebuild a city is as difficult as climbing to the sky. It will take a lot of effort just to sort out the various forces within it. If he can bring a few capable assistants, it will definitely be much easier for him.

Several names flashed through Qi Tongwei's mind.

The first recommendation is Yi Xuexi, who is quite good. Being his deputy, he can have fewer things to worry about. Besides, Yi Xuexi is the kind of person who is like a brick of the revolution and can be moved wherever he is needed.

In an instant, he had already thought of the position. He would be the deputy mayor of Beishan City and secretary of the Xitie District Party Committee. It would be right to give him the toughest bone to chew.

Just look at Gao Yuliang's operation, using Yixuexi as a knife to fight corruption in the Transportation Bureau, and you will know how useful it is.

In addition, he must control the public security system. How can people who sign in follow his orders be better than those who obey his orders?

It would be very comfortable to bring an obedient bodyguard with me, and my old partner Xiao Long must be brought along.

The party and government team is almost ready, and another problem is attracting investment. Thinking of this, he thought of two particularly outstanding people in Hekou County's investment promotion team, Li Aiguo and He Xiaoli. These two excellent seeds must be brought along, and then a strong investment promotion team can be cultivated in Beishan.

As soon as Qi Tongwei expressed his idea, He Anxia immediately agreed. "No problem. I am also very satisfied with the people you mentioned. Especially Yi Xueli, who is easy to use. Leave this matter to me."

While eating and drinking, the two of them thought about the work in Beishan City and checked for omissions and shortcomings.

After eating and drinking, it was three o'clock. The two of them got in the car with flushed faces and drove straight to the provincial party committee compound.

When they arrived at the provincial party committee, He Anxia brought Qi Tongwei, who was drunk, and walked straight past the long reporting line and entered the office of the provincial party secretary.

A group of veteran officials were left behind, looking at each other, habitually wondering about Qi Tongwei's identity.

"Who is this guy? How dare he come to the provincial party secretary's office after drinking?"

"I don't know. He's the son of the provincial party secretary. I'm not sure about the other one, but I guess he's not a simple person."

...

"Secretary He, I have brought the person to you." As soon as he entered the office, He Anxia became serious.

He Jiyun raised his head slightly and sniffed, "Drinking during work hours is simply outrageous!"

Qi Tongwei lowered his head and glanced at He Anxia, ​​as if to say: Didn’t you say it was okay?

The latter raised his eyebrows and gave Qi Tongwei a reassuring look.

Sure enough, He Jiyun simply scolded them twice and asked them to sit down.

"Comrade Tongwei, let Anxia tell you."

Qi Tongwei lowered his eyebrows and replied, "Yes, I did."

He Jiyun sighed, "To be honest, I was under a lot of pressure to let you go to Hanjiang Province.

Commissioner Zhong from above specifically requested the person, but Governor Zhao and Vice Governor Liu from below disagreed and were very dissatisfied, saying that I had betrayed my comrades.

But you have to understand that when we are in this position, we are not a team of one person. Sometimes we have to consider the difficulties above and share the worries of the country.

I also told the higher-ups that if you ever want to come back, they will let you go, and they agreed.

But from the perspective of a party member, I hope you can do your best for the benefit of millions of people."
