Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 737 The unexpected successor

After the meeting, the Secretariat received a message from the Municipal Party Committee Office regarding Qi Tongwei's application to report directly to the Secretary. Secretary Xue directly asked him to go over.

Qi Tongwei tried his best to straighten his neck and walked to Secretary Xue's office. After going through a series of procedures and notifying the secretary, he went in.

"secretary."

Secretary Xue was with his back turned, looking for something on the cabinet. When he heard Qi Tongwei's voice, he turned around with a document in his hand.

"Ouch, what happened to you?"

It turned out that Qi Tongwei's behavior of straightening his neck subconsciously made it appear to outsiders that he was just slightly turned to the right. His body was upright, but his head was turned to the right.

"Secretary, I fell asleep at my desk last night and my neck is a little sprained."

If his subordinates asked him, Qi Tongwei would just say that he had a stiff neck, so as to maintain the mystery of his superior.

However, the person being questioned is his superior, especially the municipal party secretary. Qi Tongwei must express his hard work and difficulties, otherwise how can he achieve his goal? No matter how good or tempting power is, it is not as important as his own life. If he continues to work overtime like this, sooner or later he will die suddenly like those nuclear-powered donkeys in the police station.

Sure enough, when Secretary Xue looked at Qi Tongwei, his expression became much better, and his originally serious expression became much kinder.

"Thank you for your hard work. I heard that you have been working non-stop for the past six months and have been extremely busy every day.

Come, sit here, you're welcome."

Looking at Qi Tongwei's awkward look, Secretary Xue couldn't help but laugh.

"Come, have some tea."

Secretary Xue personally made the tea and handed it to Qi Tongwei. Qi Tongwei hurriedly stood up and took it with both hands. His movement was too big and he pulled his neck a little, with a grin on his face.

"Okay, okay, I'll put it on the table. You just sit there."

Qi Tongwei sat sideways obediently, trying not to lose his composure in front of the secretary. After the two of them sat down, Secretary Xue finally spoke.

"Are you mad at me for keeping you so busy these past six months?"

How dare Qi Tongwei tell the truth? He started to scold you, a bureaucrat who treats people like nuclear-powered donkeys. Do you know what kind of life I have been living in the past six months? Try it yourself. Of course, this sentence can only be said in his heart, and what comes out of his mouth is not true to his heart.

"No, Secretary. This is a task assigned by the organization. It is my personal honor to contribute to the construction of Jiangzhou."

Secretary Xue smiled as he watched Qi Tongwei talking nonsense, and said with his head slightly tilted.

"Then you will take on the post for another half a year?"

These words frightened Qi Tongwei so much that his head turned around and he no longer cared about the pain in his neck.

"No, Secretary, I can't take it anymore. I fell asleep at my desk yesterday, and that's why my neck is like this.

And it happened more than once, at least a dozen times. There was not a single day when I could get off work at a normal time. Either there was something going on in the district or in the city government. I was exhausted from running around all day long."

Qi Tongwei didn't expect that his neck could move freely. He was so excited at the moment that he didn't even care about the courtesy between superiors and subordinates.

"Secretary, please don't do this. I haven't lived a normal life in the past six months. Both positions have too much to do. If I hold on for another six months, I'm afraid I'll die suddenly."

Qi Tongwei's appearance broke the image of him in Xue An's mind, and Xue An finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Hahahaha, the boss said you're really funny, and it's true. Okay, okay, don't get excited.

I have already found someone to replace you, so I ask you to have an interview as well.

Sit down first, I'll let someone in."

When Xue An got up and left, he patted Qi Tongwei on the shoulder.

Only then did Qi Tongwei realize that there was only a slight soreness in his neck, which no longer hindered his movement. So he twisted his neck and there was only a slight pain. However, he still did not dare to move too much, so he sat on the sofa and drank tea obediently for a few minutes.

"Manager Qi, long time no see."

Qi Tongwei heard a familiar voice, supported himself on the armrest of the sofa, turned around and looked behind him. It was indeed an acquaintance.

"You are Mayor Chen."

Qi Tongwei stood up with his hands, looked at the familiar person opposite him, and stretched out his right hand.

Everyone still remembers Chen Yu, the former executive deputy mayor of Jiangbei New District, who worked with Jin Xinkai and Qi Tongwei more than ten years ago.

In Qi Tongwei's memory, District Chief Chen was the last person to appear on TV. He had a deep background and was very capable in doing things. Another memorable impression of him was his obsessive cleanliness. His clothes and things he used had to be meticulous, and he would squat down and wipe the floor of his office with his hands.

Every cigarette butt in the ashtray must be cleaned out, his private car must be washed twice a day, and the chairs that guests have sat on must be wiped. He usually likes to stand because standing will not cause wrinkles on his suit and shirt.

Unexpectedly, his progress was no slower than that of Jin Qi and the others, and now he is qualified to take the position of Secretary of the Pujiang New Area District Party Committee.

The title of Mayor Chen is his current position, Mayor of Lin'an City (vice-ministerial level). This was the position that Gao Yuliang wanted to take but couldn't get back then. However, Gao Yuliang also won the favor of the boss because of this and came to Jiangzhou to develop.

"Mayor Chen, I didn't know it was you who came to Jiangzhou."

Chen Yu stretched out his hand and shook hands with Qi Tongwei.

"I never expected that Secretary Xue only called me over yesterday and we just had a brief conversation."

Qi Tongwei looked at Secretary Xue who was standing beside him.

"Both of you take a seat."

When the two heard Secretary Xue's greeting, they both sat upright on the sofa with serious expressions.

“You two are both outstanding young cadres who are good at economics. The highlights of Lin’an’s economy in recent years have been recognized by the leaders.

I don't have any more nonsense to say. Chen Yu, your appointment has been confirmed. Tomorrow the leader of the Organization Department will come down to accompany you to take office.

You two are old acquaintances and have worked together as a team before. Your responsibility this time is still to work as a team.

The overall direction of the Free Trade Zone is still controlled by Qi Tongwei. Your responsibility, Chen Yu, is to do a good job of execution under the guidance of the general direction..."

This time, Qi Tongwei truly witnessed Secretary Xue's style. He has a very distinct personality and is very firm in his mind. He makes decisions after careful consideration, and his subordinates only have the responsibility to execute them.

Moreover, Qi Tongwei knew very well that Secretary Xue's personality was a bit cold towards his subordinates, and he seldom laughed and joked with them. In front of his predecessor, General Manager Zhao, Qi Tongwei dared to take his special cigarettes directly, but when facing Secretary Xue, Qi Tongwei did not dare to make any extra movements, let alone take his cigarettes. Although he was quite enthusiastic towards Qi Tongwei when they first met, Qi Tongwei could feel that Secretary Xue and Qi Tongwei were the same type of people who only cared about work and nothing else.
