Rebirth of Minister Qi

Hu Hai and Gu Qiang found his home last night, wanting him to help mention their names in front of Qi Tongwei, in case Qi Tongwei really comes back to take up the position in the future.

Qinshan Town is the only remaining township organization in Jiangbei New District. All other towns have been turned into streets when the district was changed.

At that time, Qinshan Town was also the poorest area in the district. It was located in the upper reaches of the Dongjiang River, and many industries were not allowed to settle there.

However, Qi Tongwei still found a new development direction in Qinshan Town. One of them was tourism. However, at that time in the 1990s, there was no such thing as tourism.

You might be robbed by car thieves or highway robbers when you go out. The public security is not good and the transportation is not developed, so there is naturally no way to talk about tourism.

It was not until after the millennium that Qinshan Town's tourism resources began to be developed.

"Secretary, Qinshan Town is now a national 4A-level tourist scenic spot.

Qinshan Hydropower Station is also a popular tourist destination for many tourists.”

The Coaster bus drove all the way up the mountain without stopping.

Li Cong continued to explain.

"Secretary, fifteen years ago, the higher authorities allocated funds to build the Qinshan Hydropower Station and the firebreaks below.

Nowadays, it is not like twenty years ago when you had to park your car at the town government and walk up the mountain.

Now you can take a tourist bus directly to the top of the dam and then drive down along that road.

It is the peak season for summer tourism now, and there are many tour groups coming here specifically for this purpose.

There are also many fish restaurants above the hydropower station that specialize in serving whole fish banquets.

You really liked eating Dongjiang knife fish back then, would you like to try it?"

Qi Tongwei looked at the scenery outside with a smile the whole time and did not answer Li Cong's words.

After a few minutes, Qi Tongwei asked.

"Is the director of the hydropower station still there?"

Li Cong and Yang Zhengwei looked at each other before answering, but their voices were much softer.

"Secretary, the stationmaster died of illness five years ago."

His voice was very soft, perhaps he didn't want to affect Qi Tongwei's mood.

“Oh, time really goes by so fast.

The station chief is a person who truly loves water conservancy. I still remember that I have been staying in the mountains since I was assigned to Qinshan Station in the 1970s.

Li Cong on the side also echoed.

“Yes, the spirit of the station chief is always worth learning from.

He was also the first director of the new hydropower station. He went to the hospital for treatment only when he could no longer work. When the examination results came out, it was already in the late stage.

But the current stationmaster is also an old acquaintance of yours, Secretary."

Qi Tongwei's mood quickly recovered. At his position, he had to adjust his emotions quickly and keep the calmest mind ready for work at any time and anywhere.

Nowadays, he no longer speaks like low-level cadres, speaking in plain language and chattering so fast that people are overwhelmed.

Instead, like most senior officials, he uses euphemistic language and speaks slowly, thinking and filtering every word.

Because his words and actions represent a lot of things, this is actually what is called a noble person speaks slowly.

"Oh? Who's the webmaster now?"

Qi Tongwei was really a little curious. He didn't know what level of unit the hydropower station was. Twenty years ago, his old acquaintance must have been at least at the department level.

"Secretary, this is Zhang Sheng, a former student of Academician Huang."

Qi Tongwei was really surprised this time. This was the expert he had invited that year, who was a section-level cadre in the Ministry of Water Resources at that time.

"Zhang Sheng? It seems like he was a section-level cadre twenty years ago, and he's still the director of the hydropower station?"

"Secretary, the hydropower station is not an administrative unit with a certain level. After it was built, all the station chiefs were appointed as station chiefs, and Section Chief Zhang was directly retained here as deputy station chief with the treatment of a section chief.

All station managers also enjoy the treatment of a director-level official, so Section Chief Zhang should also be receiving the treatment of a director-level official now."

Qi Tongwei nodded, and the car just drove to the office area of the hydropower station. A group of people got out of the car, and Qi Tongwei felt the sound of water vapor and the surging mountains and rivers.

"This environment is truly refreshing. You've made the right move by developing it as a tourist attraction."

Qi Tongwei looked at the middle-aged man who was greeting him, and recalled the proud young man from twenty years ago. The images of the two gradually overlapped.

"Section Chief Zhang!"

Qi Tongwei raised his voice slightly because the hydropower station was a bit noisy. Zhang, the former section chief and now the stationmaster, stepped forward and shook Qi Tongwei's hand, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes.

"Manager Qi, long time no see."

"Hahahaha, it's been a long time.

Let’s go in and talk.”

Stationmaster Zhang looked at Qi Tongwei and recalled their first meeting twenty years ago.

At that time, he was a young expert from the Ministry of Water Resources. He had just graduated and enjoyed the treatment of a deputy section-level official. When he first met Qi Tongwei, he still had a sense of psychological superiority.

I feel that local cadres like Qi Tongwei are still so young.

Unexpectedly, Qi Tongwei is a cadre from the Ministry of Public Security. At such a young age, he has already become a deputy district mayor with real power at the deputy division level.

Later, Stationmaster Zhang got to know the then Stationmaster Quan, and was gradually attracted by his passion for water conservancy, and embarked on the same path as him.

After the construction of the hydropower station was completed, Stationmaster Zhang stayed and served as the deputy to the stationmaster until now.

"It's been twenty years. Thank you for your hard work, Station Master Zhang."

When Qi Tongwei said this, Zhang Sheng was also in a daze. Twenty years have passed. How could time fly so fast?

"Yes, time really flies. At that time, I was still a student who had just graduated.

Please invite Teacher Huang to come along."

When Qi Tongwei heard Teacher Huang, he also started asking about the ancients.

"Where is Academician Huang now? I haven't seen him for a long time."

"Mr. Huang is almost 80 years old now. He usually lives with his son in Hanjiang Province. He brings a team to visit us every year.

The old man has a good attitude. He thinks about the knife fish from Dongjiang every year and asks to eat it as soon as it comes.

It’s a pity that the webmaster left two years ago.”

Speaking of this topic, Stationmaster Zhang looked up at the photos on the wall in his office, which were all the history of Qinshan Hydropower Station.

Qi Tongwei also followed Stationmaster Zhang's gaze, stood up and looked at the photos, and he saw himself in the first one.

"Hey, when was this taken? Hahaha, I'm in it too."

Stationmaster Zhang stood up to explain.

"District Chief Qi, this is the photo my junior took when you first laid the foundation stone.

You didn't notice, you see.

At that time, you were instructing the entire station manager on work, and behind you was the town party secretary at the time, Jin Dahai.

Teacher Huang is here, helping me compile some data."

Yang Zhengwei saw Qi Tongwei staring at the photos, so he pulled Li Cong over and whispered to him.

"We'll find Station Master Zhang later and have them print out another copy of these photos. When the secretary leaves, he'll definitely be very happy as a gift."
