Rebirth of Minister Qi

Qi Tongwei's mood was really bright at this time. He met Director Xu, the old naughty boy and old friend.

"Oh, Director Xu, what's Jiangzhou or not?

Some places are not as developed as our Jiangbei New District.

My first year there as Public Security Bureau Chief, I did the same old things: rectifying police work.”

An old cadre who had just played chess with Xu Che next to him didn't know what Qi Tongwei did at first, because he was the type who didn't watch the news and didn't care about worldly affairs after retirement.

When he heard Qi Tongwei say that he had been the director of the Jiangzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, his eyes widened and he interrupted him directly.

"Director of the Jiangzhou Public Security Bureau? Young man, are you a deputy provincial-level official now?"

Xu Che laughed out loud like a rooster that had won a fight.

"Lao Niu, you are a country bumpkin. When you were young and went to Jiangzhou, you were called a country bumpkin by the locals, and it is even more so now.

When my brother Qi and I were working together at the County Public Security Bureau, he was well-known for his ability.

Now he's a provincial-level cadre. Didn't you see those guys wearing sunglasses following behind him? They're called guards."

Usually, Xu Che was always suppressed by this old comrade when playing chess. With Qi Tongwei coming to see him, Xu Che finally stood up.

Comrade Lao Niu was also a deputy-department-level cadre before his retirement, but he was working in another place. He returned to his hometown to retire after retirement, so it is normal that he did not know Qi Tongwei.

"Could this Secretary Qi be the provincial party secretary of some place?"

An old cadre standing by couldn't stand it anymore. He was also the one who paid the most attention to the news, and whispered in Comrade Lao Niu's ear.

"This is the new commissioner, the SCJ secretary, the real leader."

Comrade Lao Niu looked incredulous.

"So young?"

Qi Tongwei naturally didn't pay attention to these things and sat next to Xu Che with confidence.

"Old Director, you don't know that it's very difficult to deal with cadres in Jiangzhou.

I spent a lot of time to clean up the Public Security Bureau, and later I was transferred to the district to serve as the district party secretary.

I've been working in economics for a few years, and as you know, I'm quite good at it.

The current super-large port was built by me, and it is still the same as the old three things in Jiangbei New District. "

Xu Che gave a thumbs up.

"Tongwei, I admire you for your achievements.

You were the best in our department back then."

Qi Tongwei asked his secretary Mang Chuang and others to take a group photo of himself and the veteran cadres. Old Director Xu Che and Qi Tongwei put their arms around each other and took a photo together, looking like good brothers.

A few years later, Director Xu Che's house was demolished. Since he had retired for a long time, the eighty-year-old old man had long lost his influence.

But as soon as this photo of the two brothers appeared, the local government and developers changed their plans as a whole.

In the reception room of a designated reception hotel in Dongou City.

Qi Tongwei sat in the main seat, holding a teacup with only boiled water in it. Last month, his health doctor said that his kidney stones had not fallen out yet, so he had to jump rope every day. Tea and kola were also included in the prohibited list.

Li Cong and Yang Zhengwei were sitting respectfully opposite Qi Tongwei.

"Secretary Qi, I review..."

Before Yang Zhengwei could finish his words, he was interrupted by Qi Tongwei. The higher his rank, the less patience he had for these official jargons. They had been acquaintances for more than 20 years.

"What are you reviewing? Did you do something wrong?

The three of us have known each other for more than 20 years. Why should we talk about these empty things?

Or do you feel that as my rank, Qi Tongwei, increases, it becomes more difficult to speak?

I won’t talk about the past anymore, but let me talk about Dongou’s current industrial landscape.”

After being retorted by Qi Tongwei, Yang Zhengwei regained the feeling of working under Qi Tongwei. At that time, Qi Tongwei was so domineering and stressful.

Yang Zhengwei didn't have the patience to play Tai Chi with them, so he looked at Li Cong. Li Cong was a little helpless, but he also took over. He had been working in the propaganda department in recent years and was becoming more and more proficient in introducing these things.

"Secretary, our Dong'ou's economic development has fallen into a relatively slow phase in the past decade.

The several pillar industries and enterprises you left behind have continued to develop and their businesses have begun to extend across the world.

Especially Pengpai Equipment Manufacturing and Dongjiang Automobile, which are now the leading enterprises in the city.

Most of the small businesses in our new district also revolve around the supply chains of several large companies.

But there is no expansion into other industries, to put it bluntly, it is just living off its past achievements.

Especially the semiconductor industry that you originally decided on, after trying several companies, it was rejected by the subsequent government.

The investment promotion meeting added several categories, including real estate and finance.

In the past decade or so, real estate and finance have accounted for a large proportion of economic growth."

Qi Tongwei nodded and took a big gulp of boiled water. Today's task was one liter of boiled water, and he would have to drink two more cups later.

Li Cong spoke very frankly. He understood Qi Tongwei's style. If he said something to whitewash the situation, he would be the one in trouble.

Anyway, Li Cong has been sitting on the bench in recent years, and these decisions have little to do with him, so just say it.

Li Cong would decide whether to tell a lie and offend a hot-tempered committee member or to tell the truth and offend some local officials.

Yang Zhengwei also added.

“Lao Li’s statement is very accurate, but he overlooked the provincial party committee’s neglect of our Dongou City.

In the past ten years, the leaders of Dongou City have changed five times in succession.

There is no leader who serves a full term. They are all used as stepping stones and transferred away with this resume.

There were also several leaders who were willing to expand and upgrade the industrial structure, but they all left too hastily.

There’s no time to actually implement the plan. Often, even if a beautiful plan is made, once the person is transferred, the new leader will overturn all the previous plan.”

Qi Tongwei knew very well that no one could really focus on upgrading Dongou City's industrial structure. Each leader had too little time and could only carry out short-term projects, such as infrastructure and real estate.

If it weren't for the several pillar industries left behind by Qi Tongwei, their rapid development would probably have been changed by later generations.

Qi Tongwei finished a glass of water, burped softly, and put the cup down. This action also made the two people opposite him sit up straight.

"If you were to do this, could you come up with a plan, calm down, and get things done?"

Qi Tongwei looked at the two people opposite him and could clearly feel that their heartbeats had quickened a lot, and there was even a hint of blush on their faces.

Yang Zhengwei reacted quickly and stood up at attention and saluted.

"Complete the mission resolutely!"

It was the same familiar movement from more than 20 years ago. He really wanted to improve.

When Li Cong saw that Lao Yang moved so quickly, he also stood up and saluted.

"Complete the mission resolutely!"

Qi Tongwei laughed at this action.
