Rebirth of Minister Qi

In Deputy Mayor Zhang's office, Song Siming and Deputy Mayor Zhang stood opposite each other, both of them had panic looks on their faces. They had taken a lot of kickbacks from the real estate development in Liuhe District. Song Siming was even the hidden major shareholder and actual controller of Sifu Real Estate. Each of them was allocated several houses, and a lot of information was in Sifu Real Estate Company. I don't know if Chen Sifu can withstand the interrogation.

There is no doubt that they will not be able to withstand it. The interrogation techniques of the Municipal Public Security Bureau are very strong, which means that their illegal activities will definitely be exposed.

Deputy Mayor Zhang was also very panicked and took a puff of his cigarette with trembling hands.

"You mean, the police officer who answered the phone just now called out Secretary Song?"

Song Siming nodded, his face pale, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Deputy Mayor Zhang knew that everything was over. Someone had been targeting them for a long time. Moreover, what happened this time happened too quickly and was too bad. It seemed that someone wanted to use this building collapse incident to bring him down.

"Public Security Bureau Chief Qi Tongwei has just arrived at the city government. He should be in his deputy mayor's office. Take this document and go there in person to talk to him.

When you’re done, come back and find me.

He is Secretary Zhao's confidant. What he did could not be his own idea. It must have been instructed by Secretary Zhao. You should test his attitude first."

Song Siming nodded, put on his coat, and took the documents to find Qi Tongwei's office. Qi Tongwei was also the deputy mayor. His office was on the same floor as Deputy Mayor Zhang's. He took a deep breath and then reached out to knock on the door.

knock knock

Qi Tongwei had just turned on his computer and was about to open Spider Solitaire when he heard a knock on the door. Someone from the city government was looking for him. It seemed like there was someone with ulterior motives and a very precise timing.

Because he spent most of his time sitting in the Public Security Bureau, this time he was waiting for Secretary Zhao's reply, so he waited directly in the office here. He might go back in half an hour.

Qi Tongwei clicked off the Spider Solitaire page and cleared his throat.

"Please come in."

The secretary brought Song Siming inside and went back directly. This office was not often used, and Qi Tongwei did not say anything, which meant that this guest did not even need tea.

"Secretary Song, what a rare guest! Are you here to convey General Manager Zhang's instructions?"

Song Siming smiled, and the pale face he had just had was no longer noticeable, as the color returned to his face.

"Mayor Qi, see what you said, Mayor Zhang asked me to deliver an urgent item to you.

These are some of the filing and approval documents regarding the collapsed houses in Liuhe District, as well as some suggestions for handling them.

Please review it and give instructions. After all, you are the commander-in-chief of this incident."

Qi Tongwei took it and quickly flipped through it. It was the same old stuff. There was nothing new about it. Even a college graduate or a new civil servant could write it. He flipped through a few pages quickly. These guys had really cleared themselves of all charges. They didn't even write down the person in charge of the housing and construction and land approval. They were just a few pieces of waste paper. So what was the purpose of this guy coming here? Was he here to test him?

Just as Qi Tongwei was looking through the documents, Song Siming seemed to notice the watch on Qi Tongwei's hand and spoke a few words.

"Mayor Qi, this watch of yours is quite nice."

Qi Tongwei stopped flipping through the documents, a slight smile appeared on his face, he turned his wrist and glanced at his Jiangzhou watch.

"I've always heard that you're quite knowledgeable about fashion and are interested in watches. Let me take a look at this."

Qi Tongwei took off the watch directly, and Song Siming took it with both hands and looked at it carefully.

“I don’t know much about fashion, and it’s definitely not as good as yours.

However, I do know something about the local Jiangzhou brand watches.

This watch of yours was one of the first batch of watches used by leaders when the factory was first established.

It has a history of at least 50 or 60 years, and it’s very expensive. The last time Sotheby’s auctioned one, it was said to be worth more than 500,000 yuan.”

Qi Tongwei smiled and continued to fight with the opponent, even covering the document.

"Is that so? There is such a saying about Jiangzhou brand watches. Isn't this our own local brand?"

Song Siming seemed to feel that the atmosphere was beginning to relax. Perhaps this young leader's mind was not as deep as those old men's. He tried to probe him a few more times.

Qi Tongwei also pretended to be surprised. The watch that was auctioned at Sotheby's last time was the one he bought with his own money and he wore it on his hand when he was an actor here. Although this Jiangzhou watch is a mid-range brand, its price is much higher than the Rolex in the past. However, most people really can't recognize it and just think it is an ordinary item worth a few hundred or a thousand yuan.

"Oh, really? I didn't know that. If that's the case, I really don't deserve it.

Thank you for your reminder."

Song Siming continued to support the comedy.

"Is this the gift Mayor Qi received?"

Qi Tongwei took the watch back, slowly put it back on his left wrist, and waited quietly for Song Siming's next test.

“Yes, that day my friend and I lamented that we wanted to wear a Jiangzhou brand watch that we couldn’t afford when we were young, as a souvenir to fulfill our childhood wish.

I thought it was just an ordinary watch, worth a few hundred dollars at most, so I gave the other party a few sets of books I wrote as a gift, and he gladly accepted it.

Luckily, the person who gave me the watch was a good friend of mine, so I was able to return it. I must not make the same mistake again."

Song Siming still stood very humbly and began to be polite.

"In our country, we believe in reciprocity. If you feel the value is not equal, just choose some other gifts.

It would be so hurtful to go back."

Qi Tongwei also laughed.

“Although I’m not short of money, I don’t like making mistakes.

This is not a matter of giving a pound of onions and two heads of garlic. You can't just weigh the gift at home and give it back. A big gift should be given in return with a big gift, otherwise, it's not called returning a favor.

If it's like what you said, then the price is too high. What if I can't pay it back? Isn't this just sacrificing the greater good for the sake of a small gain?"

Song Siming continued to attack.

"No wonder I once heard someone say that Mayor Qi is unreasonable. The words 'reason' and 'reason' are really hard to grasp in China."

Qi Tongwei chuckled.

"I understand emotion and reason. I am also the son of a farmer. I started as a grassroots policeman and worked my way up. I have been in charge of street security and mediated disputes.

The degree of law enforcement is hard to grasp. Under the premise of being unsure, I can only try my best to uphold the law rather than reason.

When interests and emotions are intertwined, it is difficult for everyone to distinguish which part is true and which part is false.

So I decided not to bother myself and strictly abide by the most basic principle of a law enforcer, which is to abide by the law.

Sometimes, this law-abidingness may seem unreasonable to others.

I haven't asked you to sit down yet. Please sit down, secretary. Bring us some tea. Bring us the Dong'ou morning tea."

It was only at this time that Qi Tongwei arranged to serve tea to Song Siming, which implicitly revealed that Qi Tongwei had never taken Song Siming seriously from the beginning.
