Qi Tongwei: Can I be young again?

"Another self-criticism, another self-reflection..." Sha Ruijin shook his head. "If I remember correctly, you just called a county party secretary a 'troublemaker'!"

"Is such that……"

"Forget it, you don't need to explain anymore. Let's just hear what this so-called troublemaker has to say." Sha Ruijin's gaze fell on Qi Tongwei. "Secretary Qi, why don't you say something too?"

“Okay, Secretary Sha.” Qi Tongwei took a deep breath and said slowly, “What Secretary Tian just said is all false. There is no misunderstanding between us. I can say with certainty that this leader is corrupt, lazy and inactive.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire audience was stunned.

All eyes were on Qi Tongwei.

No one could have imagined that this young county party secretary would come up with such a powerful move right from the start, a move that would be devastating!

Of course, such behavior is a major taboo in officialdom.

It's so offensive.

But that's exactly the effect Qi Tongwei wanted.

Establish a tough persona.

He didn't come to Yanyuan County to be a mere figurehead; he either doesn't play the game at all, or he plays it big.

And let everyone know that you're not someone to be trifled with.

Yanyuan County is not to be trifled with.

Anyone who dares to trip me up again will face my wrath, and we'll see who's tougher!

"Secretary Sha, I'm innocent! He's framing me!" Tian Guoqiang cried out. "Qi Tongwei, I have no grudge against you, why are you slandering me!"

"I didn't slander you!" Qi Tongwei's eyes remained calm, even carrying a hint of contempt. "A week ago, County Chief Dakang asked you to approve a contract, but you made things difficult for him in every way, and even threw the document at his head. I ask you, is that true?"

"I, I... that was just a momentary impulse."

"We're asking you to do some work-related things, why are you acting impulsively?"

"Because, because..."

"Because there's no filling in his tea box, right?" Qi Tongwei continued, setting a trap with each step. "I asked people in our county, including County Head Hu Ping'an. Everyone who comes to the city on business has to prepare a tea canister in advance. Guess what's in the tea canister?"

Guess?

Nobody guessed.

All the leaders in Yanhong City have drunk this tea; the jars always contained either cash or small yellow croakers.

Everyone had taken a bite, so they all bowed their heads.

"Is that so?" Sha Ruijin also became interested. "Secretary Ding, can you explain what's in the tea canister?"

"N-nothing...nothing?" Ding Wenzheng lowered his head even further.

"Snapped!"

Sha Ruijin slammed his hand on the table. "Still dare to deny it? Do you really think I know nothing?"

After he finished speaking, the secretary handed him a stack of letters.

Sha Ruijin slammed the letter onto the table.

"The complaint has already been sent to ZY, how long are you going to keep denying it?"

"Or do you really think that all those dirty deals you've made can be kept secret?"

Chapter 185 Instant Fame

When Sha Ruijin slammed the whistleblower letter on the table, the nature of the entire meeting changed.

This was no longer an ordinary meeting.

It was a review meeting, not a formal meeting.

Those who fail to conduct a proper self-criticism may be taken away by the disciplinary committee.

This is no joke.

Before I knew it, a group of people from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection had gathered outside the office.

Everyone at the meeting knew perfectly well why they were there.

For a moment, the meeting was eerily quiet.

"Everyone says that Yanhong City is the poorest place in Shaanxi and Gansu. Now that I think about it, there is some truth to it."

"Because this place is home to a bunch of parasites, parasites that suck the blood of ordinary people."

"ZY has repeatedly ordered you to be honest and incorruptible, and this is how you are honest and incorruptible? You won't do anything for the people unless you send them tea with hidden fillings?"

“Building a steel plant is a project that benefits the country and its people, yet you all make things difficult for it. You have no conscience at all.”

"I'm putting this out there: everyone at today's meeting must explain the situation clearly, otherwise there's no need to adjourn the meeting; everyone should go to the Discipline Inspection Commission to cooperate with the investigation."

It's clear that Sha Ruijin is really angry.

He used to work in the capital, where there were occasional malpractices, but never anything this blatant.

He was completely stunned when he received these whistleblower letters.

ZY is right. If this place isn't cleaned up soon, it will rot to the core.

Who wrote the whistleblower letter?

Sun Liancheng!

When he first arrived in Shaanxi and Gansu, he received a call from Qi Tongwei, and everything he did was done according to Qi Tongwei's instructions.

To put it bluntly, Qi Tongwei was behind the scenes pushing Sha Ruijin to come today.

"Secretary Ding, do you have anything else to say?"

"I apologize, I deeply apologize." Ding Wenzheng glanced at He Xiaojun, swallowed hard, and said, "Give me some time regarding the contents of these whistleblower letters, and I will definitely give the organization an explanation."

"Okay, I'll give you a week. I want to see satisfactory results after a week."

"Understood, Secretary Sha."

Upon arriving in Shaanxi and Gansu, Sha Ruijin did not go to extremes.

After all, the municipal government still needs people to do the work.

Today, all he needs to do is make an example of someone.

Who is the monkey?

Of course it's Tian Guoqiang.

Why is he a monkey?

Because he was being targeted by Qi Tongwei.

"Secretary Qi, putting aside the corruption for now, is there anything else you want to say?"

"Yes." Qi Tongwei looked at Tian Guoqiang and fired again, "I want to report this!"

Tian Guoqiang felt another chill run down his spine.

Damn it, it's ruined.

That kid holds a grudge too much.

"Report who?"

"Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee, Tian Guoqiang!"

The scene fell silent once again.

When officials, including Mayor Zhan Hongjun, looked at Qi Tongwei, they looked at him as if he were a monster.

That young man is really brave.

It seems they're not going to stop until they've turned the entire Yanhong City upside down.

Only Sha Ruijin cast an admiring glance his way.

“Young man, you have guts. If you want to report something, speak your mind today.”

"I want to report Secretary Tian for misconduct!"

Upon hearing this, He Xiaojun, who had been silent until now, perked up and said, "Tell me, where has our Secretary-General Tian gone wrong?"

"He's been keeping a mistress for a long time." Qi Tongwei's words were shocking. "Moreover, that mistress is old enough to be his daughter. This kind of cadre is a disgrace to the people!"

"Slander! Slander!" Tian Guoqiang instantly lost his composure. "Secretary Sha, Secretary He, Qi Tongwei is slandering me."

"Don't get excited, don't get excited." Sha Ruijin waved his hand. "It was said before the meeting that everyone should speak freely. Whether it's slander or not, you have to wait until everyone has finished speaking."

“Secretary Sha is right,” He Xiaojun echoed. “If Secretary Qi really slanders you, you can absolutely take up legal weapons and sue him! But you can’t silence him.”

The attitudes of the two vice-ministers were quite clear.

They are all standing up for Qi Tongwei.

Those sitting here are no fools, and at this moment, no one would regard Qi Tongwei as an ordinary county party secretary.

So the rumors were absolutely true.
