Rebirth of Minister Qi

Zhao Mengsheng seemed to be in a good mood and had the leisure to tell stories to Qi Tongwei.

"At that time, there was an East China Bureau, which was headquartered in Jiangzhou City. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, this East China Bureau included Handong Province, Jiangdong Province and several other provinces in the south of the Yangtze River. In terms of financial resources and productivity, it even far exceeded the capital where the central government was located for a certain period of time.

This has created a situation where the head is small and the body is big, which has created an extremely awkward situation for the national structure.

Later, it imitated some provincial boundary models of ancient feudal dynasties and changed into its current pattern.

The reason why your Handong Province has not been united, and now the three central cities are competing with each other, is that this is a tradition and history of thousands of years, and it is also part of the central layout.

Last time you proposed the three-party balance of power in the Handong Provincial Committee, which was in line with the guidance from above, and that is why it was supported.

If the entire Handong Province is divided according to rivers, mountains, ethnic migration and cultural borders, it can be divided into three or four provinces in total.

The same is true for Jiangdong Province. The administrative divisions were modified many times in order to reduce internal disunity and facilitate control from above.

By the same token, we in Jiangzhou City should not interfere too much. If we interfere in the affairs of Jiangdong Province, our superiors will think that we are trying to re-establish the East China Bureau.

At that time it would not be a good thing but a bad thing. Part of your idea is good. Jiangzhou City represents the face of foreign trade. Some big projects and plans will be supported by the higher authorities, but you cannot always drag the other two provinces along.

Do you understand? There is a very subtle boundary here. If you can grasp these politically sensitive details clearly in the future, your position will not be low in the future. "

After listening to Zhao Mengsheng's explanation, Qi Tongwei understood the situation. Zhao Mengsheng's meaning was very clear, that is, you can make trouble, but don't go too far, and finish the job at hand first.

"Oh, that means if this is too successful, Secretary Zhao will become the Governor-General of Zhejiang."

After hearing Qi Tongwei's joke, Zhao Mengsheng remembered the content of the novel he wrote and burst into laughter. Zhao Mengsheng had also read Qi Tongwei's novels.

"Hahahaha, what nonsense are you talking about, that's feudal dynasty stuff, we are the servants of the people.

You boy, are a smart little pony, but you must wear a bridle to become a thousand-mile horse. Learn more about party affairs when you have time, and don't always be so irrelevant.

You are always drowsy during meetings and scribbling on your notebook. This is your bad habit. You don't like idealistic things and only care about practical things.

Take it. This is also a political task. Learn more about the party’s history and the latest guiding spirit. I will assess you in person next month.”

Qi Tongwei held the various books and documents on party affairs that Zhao Mengsheng threw to him, and looked a little worried for a moment. This was indeed his shortcoming. He had no patience for many empty things and was about to complain.

Zhao Mengsheng immediately pointed at Qi Tongwei and threatened him.

“I know you want to be the secretary of the Pujiang New District Party Committee and officially take on the most important position of regional leader, but if you don’t study Party affairs well, then I’ll tell you bluntly that no matter how well you do in other areas, you have no chance.

Sun Qi will still be in this position for two years. If you study party affairs well during these two years, you will have a little chance.

Study hard and don’t hide in the office all the time. Everyone knows you are lazy and let the office director handle everything.”

The position of district party secretary touched Qi Tongwei's heart, and he immediately stood up and saluted.

"I will definitely complete the task. Please consider me for this position, Secretary."

Just as he was about to leave, Qi Tongwei turned around and asked in a low voice.

"Secretary, doesn't this position belong to me? Isn't it true that I only have a small chance if I learn well?"

Zhao Mengsheng became annoyed and waved the folder in his hand to chase the man away.

"Go, go, go, don't get in my way, take all the books with you, finish reading them all within a month, and then study hard.

If you fail to complete your study assignment, you will be punished."

Qi Tongwei asked his secretary to bring a box, put all the books in it, and then he personally carried the box out of the Municipal Party Committee building.

Along the way, the cadres couldn't help but talk about Qi Tongwei's strange behavior.

"What is Mayor Qi holding? Has he been transferred?"

The cadre who was speaking was quickly covered by his mouth by his colleague next to him.

"You're crazy. You're talking about the leader behind his back. If someone hears you, you're done. He's the police chief, and he has so many vicious bastards under him."

They waited until they reached a corner where no one was around before continuing the topic.

"Really? You're already working in the Municipal Party Committee Building, but you're still so reckless. This place hates people who talk too much the most."

As he spoke, the cadre leaned out to take a look.

"Think about it. Mayor Qi came out of the Municipal Party Committee Building. In the Municipal Party Committee Building, Mayor Qi often goes to the Secretary's office. These things must have been taken out of the Secretary's office. He even took them himself. Isn't this just for the Secretary to see?"

Another cadre seemed to suddenly understand and nodded repeatedly.

"You are really not suitable for working in the municipal party committee. I will ask the leaders to assign you to a lower position, to Liuhe District. They are fighting corruption there now, and there are many vacancies. It won't be difficult to get a department-level position."

Qi Tongwei didn't care about all this. He was the only one who had such a close relationship with Secretary Zhao and could personally teach him this and that. Even the secretary beside him who wanted to help was rejected.

Recently, Qi Tongwei moved his office to the deputy mayor's office of the municipal government to make it easier for him to direct Ye Biao's work. As for the affairs of the Public Security Bureau, the police officers can only bear with it and report to the municipal government.

Most of the cadres in the office also followed Qi Tongwei to move to the Municipal Government Office, including Li Wei.

"Li Wei, come here."

Qi Tongwei came back from the bathroom, still shaking his hands, and called Li Wei in. When he arrived at the city government, Qi Tongwei no longer wore police uniform every day. Instead, he followed the trend and wore an administrative jacket, but still wore a white police shirt underneath, so that he could change clothes at any time according to the scene.

Li Wei followed Qi Tongwei into the deputy mayor's office.

"Has the annual financial report of the municipal bureau come out yet? It's already December, why is it so slow?"

Li Wei was also a little worried. The work of the Municipal Bureau was very complicated this year. He suddenly took over the financial aspect and was a little confused. The report that should have been issued at the end of November was now mid-December and had not been urged to come over yet.

“This, that…”

Qi Tongwei picked up the lighter and lit a special cigarette for himself, then knocked on the table.

"I'm running out of patience. Call the people from the Audit Office and the General Inspectorate over here."
