Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 741: Escaping is shameful, but it is useful

The camera returns to Li Dakang. The phone on the table keeps ringing, but he doesn't answer it. He presses the mute button. He knows without even looking that it must be Zhao Ruilong calling.

Li Dakang knew clearly that he had no way out since the incident of the cross-sea bridge. The infighting between Zhao Lichun and Governor Qin aroused the disgust of the superiors. In addition, many of Zhao Lichun's father's old comrades-in-arms died in recent years, and almost no one spoke for him.

He used to be Zhao Lichun's close secretary and knew more than others, especially the leaders of the current management. Few of them had a good impression of Zhao Lichun. In other words, Zhao Lichun, who has now been transferred to another province, can no longer promote Li Dakang, and can't even do anything to him.

However, Li Dakang still struggled for a long time about betraying his old leader who had served him for decades. However, for a professional politician like Li Dakang, being ruthless and disloyal is a necessary skill, especially with the cross-sea bridge as bait, betrayal is no longer a difficult choice.

"Xiao Li, Xiao Li."

Li Dakang called his secretary and handed the phone to him. The secretary looked at the series of missed calls and didn't know whether to speak. Li Dakang spoke himself.

"Xiao Li, take this phone, in case someone calls you again.

Just respond politely and say I'm busy."

Li Dakang has made up his mind. He has paid so much to get to the top, and no matter who stands in his way, they will be cleared away.

Eleven years ago, when Li Dakang saw Qi Tongwei's confident look at Zhao Lichun's house, he could not hide the jealousy in his heart.

Qi Tongwei's rank was the same as his at that time, both were deputy department level, but in the past eleven years, Qi Tongwei has been like riding a rocket, and his resume is so enviable that it is powerless.

Although eleven years have passed, and both of them are now at the vice-ministerial level and provincial party committee standing committee level, everyone can see how big the distance between them is.

Li Dakang had made some achievements in economic development in Lincheng and another city, but these achievements were not enough to support his direct promotion to member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee from the position of Secretary of the Luzhou Municipal Party Committee. This lack of height was made up by the strong support of Zhao Lichun. It can be said that Zhao Lichun took a lot of actions to force Li Dakang to be a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee at that time, but as a result, he had to betray his benefactor Zhao Lichun.

However, Qi Tongwei's resume has been on a tear. He was apparently developing well in the public security field, but ended up taking charge of important economic work. He has now served as the district party secretary and is now the executive vice mayor.

Now everyone says that Qi Tongwei is the first choice for the next mayor of Jiangzhou City.

After Li Dakang figured it out, he took action immediately and summoned the writers of the General Affairs Section. They spent a day drafting an overall management plan for Luzhou Crescent Lake, which was then transferred to the municipal government. It would take several rounds of discussions before it could be put into action. However, the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government had no objection to the demolition of the Food City, and Yi Xuexi must be demolished.

Yi Xuexi was also busy. He sent Zhao Ruilong and Zhao Xiaohui documents to stop bidding and to stop construction, which was a notice of forced demolition. He then prepared to organize a plan and manpower to demolish the foundation and half of the food city that had already been laid.

Zhao Ruilong couldn't get through to Li Dakang on the phone. When he did get through, the secretary answered the phone. After a few words of persuasion, he drove to Luzhou that night.

Li Dakang knew that what he had done was not fair. The two siblings of the Zhao family had taken out a nine-digit loan for this project, plus funds raised through other channels, borrowed money and favors. If they had followed Yi Xuexue's plan and directly demolished the house, they would have either gone bankrupt or suffered huge losses.

Although he has changed his allegiance now, Li Dakang still feels a little reluctant, but he knows he can't stop him, so he can only find Yi Xuexi.

"Old Yi, you should take charge of the demolition of the food city and the villa complex.

Otherwise, I’m afraid too many people will come to me to plead for me.”

Yi Xuexi looked at Li Dakang's difficult expression and he softened his heart. After all, Li Dakang had been the Zhao family's secretary. He could calculate the losses that would be caused if this project was demolished.

"Then Secretary Li, you go to Jiangzhou for the meeting. You and Governor Liu will go to the Yangtze River Delta Mayors Summit together.

This will also show that we take it more seriously.”

Li Dakang seemed to be saved and looked at Yi Xuexue with gratitude. The summit document arranged for the person in charge of the municipal government to attend. If Yi Xuexue did not go, then the executive director of the municipal government should have gone. Although it was a bit awkward to arrange for the top leader to go now, it was understandable.

Li Dakang immediately packed his luggage and set off for Jingzhou. He wanted to act together with Governor Liu so as to avoid being entangled by the Zhao family.

On the other side, Liujiazui in Pujiang New District, Jiangzhou City.

Qi Tongwei is arranging the Yangtze River Delta Mayors Summit with Chen Yu.

"Lao Chen, this summit is broadcast live to the world, and it can be regarded as our announcement of the next economic policy to the world.

The CEO will not come in person this time, but Vice Minister Lu will attend the meeting."

Vice Prime Minister Lu is the black bear secretary Lu Xuwei back then. He was successfully promoted to vice prime minister of the cabinet after the change of leadership. I won’t go into details, the crab claws will come down.

Qi Tongwei gave an introduction while looking at the layout of the venue.

"Although you do hold the title of mayor or vice mayor, you will sit in the front row as the director of the National Free Trade Zone Management Committee. Did you get the speech?"

Chen Yu was holding the speech in his hand. He was third in order of speaking, after Mayor Gao Yuliang and Executive Mayor Qi Tongwei. The next one was Su Lin, who also served as the deputy mayor of the municipal government.

Lu Qiang trotted over and handed Qi Tongwei a revised form.

"Executive Director, Handong Province has revised the list of several participants. This is the latest one."

Qi Tongwei took it and glanced at it. Suddenly he saw a very novel name. He even read it out loud.

"Li Dakang is coming to attend the meeting?"

Lu Qiang looked at Qi Tongwei with a puzzled expression. How did he know?

Qi Tongwei didn't know what was going on, but he didn't care. Compared with the current Li Dakang, no matter in terms of strength or development potential, the two are incomparable. In his previous life, Qi Tongwei's cautious attitude towards Li Dakang has completely become a childish mentality like in his childhood.

Qi Tongwei was too lazy to delve into these matters. Gao Yuliang had been very busy recently and had a lot of things on his mind, so he had no time to care about these things.

He handed the new file directly to Chen Yu. Chen Yu was very capable and had taken over a lot of Qi Tongwei's work during this period, giving Qi Tongwei time to set the record for Snake again.
