A Half-Step Winner: Qi Tongwei's Journey to the League

Qi Tongwei now felt a nameless fire rising from the bottom of his heart, and he was eager to vent it.

He was seen tapping the table back and forth with two fingers with an expressionless face, which made Sun Jie feel a chill in his heart.

He didn't expect these people to be so bold as to tamper with people's livelihood projects.

Qi Tongwei took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said in a serious tone: "I still say the same old thing, there is no upper limit or lower limit in anti-corruption work, we must hit tigers and swat flies.

No matter if they are municipal party secretaries or village party secretaries, as long as someone dares to commit corruption, they will not be forgiven.”

"I understand, Secretary Qi." Hearing Qi Tongwei's firm support, Sun Jie's worries were completely put to rest.

Qi Tongwei's statement directly determines the future political fate of Li Yanguang, secretary of the Zhongping Municipal Party Committee. If nothing unexpected happens, imprisonment will be waiting for him.

With Qi Tongwei's support, Sun Jie and others were full of fighting spirit. Without any hesitation or worries, they immediately launched an in-depth investigation based on the clues in their hands.

At the same time, Qi Tongwei also ended his research work in Zhongping City with disappointment and returned to Jingzhou.

Originally, he thought that after the vigorous rectification and reform in the past few years, the entire Handong Province should have been completely renewed, and all kinds of unhealthy tendencies and corruption should be extremely rare, if not almost extinct. However, this was not the case at all.

Corruption from top to bottom continues to occur in an endless stream, and the means of corruption used by leading cadres are becoming more and more covert.

This reality gave Qi Tongwei a heavy blow, making him realize clearly that what he had done was far from enough and that the substantive problems had hardly been solved.

Qi Tongwei had been thinking about this problem along the way. After careful consideration, Qi Tongwei believed that the core of the problem still lies in personnel work. Many difficult problems were ultimately caused by improper personnel arrangements.

The inaction of grassroots cadres is almost always caused by unfair personnel work. If personnel work can be fair and just, and work ability is the main consideration, grassroots cadres will definitely not lack motivation to work.

Some people above have invented many technical terms, such as lying down and doing nothing, to describe grassroots cadres and criticize them. Qi Tongwei had the same opinion as them before.

But after this investigation, he completely changed his mind.

The fundamental reason why cadres lie down and do nothing is due to unfair personnel arrangements. After working for five or six years, many grassroots cadres see no hope of advancement, so they just lie down.

Could this be their problem?

If the issue of personnel fairness cannot be resolved, inaction will always exist and will become more and more numerous.

Thinking of this, Qi Tongwei couldn't help but fall into deep thought and began to think about what to do.

To be honest, human resources work has always been the most difficult and the most important job.

This time he heard a surprising piece of news from the grassroots cadres: a small county town actually had the provincial and municipal leaders to give advice on the promotion of a deputy section chief.

This has affected the fairness of the cadre announcement to a certain extent.

In addition, there is a more important reason, that is, the top leader has too much power and lacks supervision, and basically he has the final say on all personnel matters.

Take Handong for example, Qi Tongwei has the final say on almost all important personnel matters.

To some extent, his actions clearly violated relevant regulations and principles.

However, if Qi Tongwei is asked to voluntarily give up his favorite candidate and instead deliberately create a so-called atmosphere of fairness and justice, that is absolutely impossible.

Qi Tongwei returned to Jingzhou with thoughts in mind. He needed to study and solve the problems raised in this investigation.

After deep thought, Qi Tongwei decided to put the issue at the level of county party secretary.

Previously, when it came to the appointment and removal of county party secretaries, Qi Tongwei was the same as everyone else, that is, he basically selected the county party secretary based on the nomination of the municipal party secretary, and would not change it unless there were special circumstances.

However, through this investigation, Qi Tongwei began to realize that this approach had great drawbacks, namely, improper and unfair employment.

But he also knew that total denial and rejection was not the best strategy. After all, if he simply rejected the candidates recommended by the municipal party secretary, it might affect their authority and be detrimental to the development of their work.

After repeated consideration and weighing, Qi Tongwei decided to add a process, which is an external investigation of the integrity appraisal.

Strictly speaking, it cannot be simply said to be adding processes, but should be seen as strengthening and supplementing existing processes.

In the past, when conducting anti-corruption appraisals, the Commission for Discipline Inspection only checked whether the relevant personnel had ever been reported and whether they had committed any illegal or disciplinary violations during the period of punishment.

If no report record is found and the case is still under punishment, the anti-corruption appraisal result will be given directly.

But he decided that from now on, a new procedure would be added to the anti-corruption appraisal - external investigation.

The so-called external investigation is specifically operated as follows: Whenever there is a plan to promote someone, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive investigation at the unit and location where the person previously worked, and listen extensively to the voices and opinions of colleagues in the unit and local people.

If there are no reports or complaints from colleagues or the public during this process and the reputation is very good, then the promotion and appointment can be smoothly promoted;

On the contrary, if it causes a major response, the Discipline Inspection Commission will be required to conduct further in-depth investigations and verifications to ensure that any mistakes are corrected and those who are not wrong are punished.

Through such measures, we strive to ensure that every personnel appointment and dismissal is fair and reasonable and can stand the test.

In this way, although there may be a group of officials who are willing to hide and successfully escape the anti-corruption assessment, an absolute number of people will still be found out.

Once the decision is made, it is time to implement it. Qi Tongwei decided to find an opportunity to discuss the decision at the provincial party committee standing committee meeting.

The first day after returning to Beijing, in the evening, I went to Qi Tongwei's house.

"Tongwei, I want to go to CA city to see my son this week. I don't know how he is doing over there. Should I only report good news and not bad news?" Pei Qianqian asked.

"I have no objection." Qi Tongwei did not object to his wife's idea. It would be nice to go and take a look.

"By the way, Xiaoxi called this morning. She will graduate from college next week. Do you want to go?" Pei Qianqian asked.

Qi Tongwei thought for a moment and said, "I won't go to school. When my daughter comes home, I will cook for her myself."

After several nationwide anti-corruption campaigns, Qi Tongwei has become very well-known. If he were to walk into a campus, he might cause some unrest.

"Okay, then I'll take my son there." Pei Qianqian planned to spend a few days in CA with her son, and then go to Beijing together to attend her daughter's graduation ceremony.

Suddenly, Pei Qianqian said, "Xiaoqin came to me the day before yesterday and wanted to resign. She just wanted to keep a position in the company."

"Resigning? Do you know the reason?" Gao Xiaoqin has been managing the company for him for more than ten years. If she resigns, it will take a while for him to find a suitable successor.

"Xiaoqin said she wanted to take a break for a while, relax, and travel around the world." Pei Qianqian explained.

"Okay, but you have to tell her that the company welcomes her at any time and reserves 3% of the equity dividend for her. However, she needs to stay for a while and take care of Xiaoxi." Qi Tongwei said after thinking for a moment.

"Well, I have discussed it with Xiaoqin. She will take care of Xiaoxi for half a year, and at the same time she will manage, improve and optimize the company." Pei Qianqian replied.

Qi Tongwei nodded and then stopped talking.

He had gotten used to having Gao Xiaoqin around him over the years, so he felt a little uncomfortable when she suddenly asked to resign. However, he had to let her go, as his status and position did not allow him to mess around.

Perhaps it was for this reason that Gao Xiaoqin decided to leave.
