Qi Tongwei: Can I be young again?

That photo is what plunged Qi Tongwei into a media storm.

I'm about to start my new job at the procuratorate.

The public opinion surrounding this should be put to rest.

At this moment, Zhang Wei had a black eye and looked extremely tired.

Qi Tongwei lit a cigarette and asked unhurriedly, "Who instructed you to take these photos?"

"Liu Tao, President Liu. There's also a woman, around thirty years old, very beautiful, I think her name is Ouyang Qing."

"They gave me 10,000 yuan to secretly follow you and take photos of your misconduct."

"After the photos were developed, they gave me another 5,000 yuan and told me to keep it a secret!"

"County Chief Qi, that's all I know. The rest has nothing to do with me. Please let me go."

The man wept bitterly, tears streaming down his face.

Qi Tongwei exhaled a smoke ring; everything was going much as he had expected.

However, no one expected that Zhao Donglai would be so ruthless, using the Great Memory Restoration Technique on such a small Karami.

ten minutes later.

Ji Changming also rushed over. He had just received a notification from Qu Jingchun to cooperate with Qi Tongwei in clarifying all the negative public opinion.

Ji Changming is very experienced in handling this kind of thing.

"Tongwei, I've already contacted the Jingzhou Daily media, and Ouyang Qing has confessed. Let's not waste any more time. Give Zhang Wei and Ouyang Qing's statements to the Jingzhou media, and they will naturally help you clear your name."

“Not enough.” Qi Tongwei glanced at Ji Changming and said in a deep voice, “These two are the masterminds, but we still need to find out who fueled the fire.”

"You mean you're going to cause trouble for the provincial propaganda department?"

"That's right, public opinion and the media are not above the law. If they dare to frame me, they must pay the price!"

"Okay, I'll handle this."

After speaking with Gu Jinhua on the phone, Ji Changming not only became more assertive but also very proactive.

Chapter 114 Li Dakang's Fate is Thinner than Paper

a week later.

The news once again swept through the entire Handong area, but this time Qi Tongwei appeared as a victim.

The Jingzhou Daily clarified the facts.

Zhang Wei, who took the photos secretly, and Ouyang Qing, the mastermind, have both been arrested.

Ironically, the last time Qi Tongwei was maliciously slandered, it was the Jingzhou Daily that did it, and this time it is the Jingzhou Daily that is clarifying the facts.

It is extremely rare for state media to publish such polarized opinions about a single politician within a single month.

Even more shockingly, the Jingzhou Daily apologized for its previous inappropriate remarks.

This is the first time that state media has issued an apology in Handong.

Wang Liping, the former editor-in-chief of the Jingzhou Daily, was also officially dismissed by the propaganda department for making unfounded accusations and having an improper work style.

The document removing him from office was personally approved by Zhai Yao.

It's worth noting that Wang Liping used to be a favorite of Zhai Yao. Not only was she adept at understanding her superiors' thoughts, but she was also Zhai Yao's distant niece.

Such a person can be dismissed so easily; anyone who didn't know better would think she had broken a cardinal rule.

Of course, Zhai Yao had no other choice.

He already understood the relationship between Qi Tongwei and the Zhong family. If he didn't sacrifice a couple of small fry at this point, he might really be in trouble himself.

That's how the officialdom in Handong is.

As long as it doesn't endanger oneself, everything is fine. But if the situation becomes serious and about to affect oneself, one can be ruthless, even towards one's own brother, let alone a distant niece.

With the public opinion clarified, Qi Tongwei's life returned to normal.

However, Li Dakang fared much worse.

There's a saying...

When the tree falls, the hozens scatter!

When Li Dakang was taken away by the procuratorate, all his dirty secrets were also dug up.

Many of these reports were filed by his subordinates.

how to say.

Li Dakang's style is indeed prone to offending people. Every time he achieves something, it's all his credit. When he goes to the province to receive praise, he's more enthusiastic than anyone else.

But when problems arise at work, he never examines himself; instead, like a cruel official, he chooses to make his subordinates take the blame.

When he was in charge, others were wary of him, and he silently endured any grievances he suffered.

Now that he's in the procuratorate, those who have been bullied by him before will definitely seize the opportunity to kick him while he's down.

On the other hand, none of the accusations actually involved embezzlement or bribery.

Most of the time, they just shift the blame and take the credit for others' work—things they're ashamed to talk about.

In particular, they picked Qi Tongwei's peaches.

The concept of prioritizing the development of primary industries was proposed by Qi Tongwei. The introduction of Chunfeng Agricultural Trade Company was also negotiated by Qi Tongwei in Shanghai. However, at the provincial level, these were all turned into achievements for Li Dakang.

Now the facts are clear: whoever takes the peach, takes the fruit; whoever makes the mistake, takes the blame.

These are not major issues.

Li Dakang's biggest problem is still the contract he signed with Liu Tao.

This contract is a fatal flaw.

Liu Tao was secretly detained by the Supreme People's Procuratorate, and no one can prove that Li Dakang is innocent.

The key point is that even at this point, Li Dakang had not betrayed Zhao Lichun.

At the prosecutor's office, he only said that he had met the wrong person and was cheated by a dishonest businessman... The implication was that he would take all the blame on himself.

Li Dakang's persistence really made Qi Tongwei look at him in a new light.

After hesitating for a while, he decided to go to the procuratorate in person to see if he could get him to talk.

I haven't seen Li Dakang for half a month, and he's gotten darker and thinner.

A thirty-year-old man with completely white hair at his temples.

Upon seeing Qi Tongwei, his eye twitched. "Tongwei, I heard from Chief Prosecutor Ji that you informed the Zhong family and got that 100 million yuan back?"

"Of course I have to get the country's money back."

Li Dakang pondered for a moment, then said, "So that means you knew beforehand that Liu Tao wasn't a good person."

"know."

"If you knew, why didn't you tell me?" Li Dakang said with a hint of anger, "Tell me honestly, did you set me up?"

"Are you out of your mind?!" Qi Tongwei said rudely, "Li Dakang, ask yourself honestly, did I ever tell you that Liu Tao was a shrewd businessman? Did you believe me? You didn't believe me, and not only did you not believe me, you even said you wouldn't take me to eat peaches? What? How long has it been? Have you developed dementia? Have you forgotten everything?"

Li Dakang was taken aback, then chuckled, "That's right, you reminded me that I was blinded by my political achievements."

"Not just political achievements, right?"

"What do you mean?" Li Dakang tensed up. "I admit I misjudged people. I'll accept whatever the procuratorate and the discipline inspection commission do to me!"

"Alright, since you're determined to shoulder this yourself, I won't try to persuade you anymore. Take care of yourself."

"and many more."

"Anything else?"

"I want to know how the procuratorate and the discipline inspection commission will deal with me? Will I receive a major demerit? Or will I be expelled from the party? After all, that 100 million has already been recovered. I don't think I'll be ruined in my political career, will I?"

Qi Tongwei had asked Ji Changming this question.

In cases like Li Dakang's, it depends on the nature of the contract.

If someone knows there are risks and still deliberately contracts out the tea plantation, that's a serious offense. Even if the 100 million yuan is recovered, Li Dakang will still be placed under investigation, expelled from the Party, and his political career will be over.

Conversely, if Li Dakang was indeed deceived by a villain, then there is still room for maneuver... A major demerit and demotion would be more appropriate.

“Li Dakang, to be honest, you can get things done, but you also have many flaws. Overall, you’re only a 60.” Qi Tongwei squinted. “That’s just barely passing! Moreover, you’ve lost Zhao Lichun as your backer. Even if you continue in politics, you might not be able to achieve anything.”

"What do you mean?" Li Dakang asked, displeased. "Qi Tongwei, are you saying that my career has reached its peak?"

"This isn't the peak. I suggest you give up your official career. You're better suited to be a secretary, or... go into business."

“I don’t accept your suggestion.” Li Dakang shook his head. “Qi Tongwei, in the end, you still resent me for taking the credit for you. But this is the officialdom. Every step is like walking on thin ice. What’s wrong with me desperately climbing up?”

The current Li Dakang, just like the former Director Qi, is a puppet of power, only thinking about climbing the ranks.

Qi Tongwei could understand this mentality.

Therefore, he didn't want to preach.

He also didn't want to stand in the light and use high-sounding words to admonish Li Dakang.
