The soul traveled through Qi Tongwei and ruined Liang Ping's dream of living a comfortable life

After arriving at Wang Lang's office, Qi Tongwei saw Wang Lang holding a magnifying glass and gesturing on the map, and he did not say anything to disturb him.

Wang Lang was surprised and sighed. After looking for a few minutes, he finally found Qi Tongwei.

"Hey, Secretary Qi, you're back. Come, please take a seat."

Wang Lang gave up the main seat, and Qi Tongwei did not refuse and sat down directly.

"Lao Wang, what are you doing gesturing on this map?"

Wang Lang pulled up the map on the table and pointed to the location of Tangkou Village. "Secretary Qi, this is the driest place. The mountains are high and the roads are long, so transportation is inconvenient. The villagers can only rely on the sky for water and the land for food. Once something happens, food and drink will become a problem."

"So I was thinking, can we pull a pipeline from the town to Tangkou Village to ensure that the villagers have enough water?"

Qi Tongwei looked at the map and saw circles and dots marked with red pen. These were places severely affected by the drought, with Tangkou Village being the worst hit.

"Lao Wang, pull it over from the town. Is the water supply in the town guaranteed? Can it be enough to supply the villages below?"

Wang Lang nodded and said, "Secretary Qi, you don't know that our Xinyue Town has a large reservoir. The water in it is enough for the daily use of our 50,000 people in Xinyue Town. However, the pipeline project currently only benefits the town, and the people in the township cannot use it for the time being."

Qi Tongwei frowned slightly, "Isn't this a waste of natural resources? Since there is enough water in this reservoir, it must be supplied to the people of the whole town. There can't be any dead ends."

"Yes, Secretary Qi."

Wang Lang continued to agree, "Those who are close to the town are fine, they can still carry some water back with buckets, but those who are far away are not so good, they can only wait for the rain."

Qi Tongwei nodded and said, "Mr. Wang, who is in charge of this pipeline project? Why did they only carry it to the town? Why didn't they carry it to the countryside in one go?"

"Ugh"

Wang Lang sighed, "Secretary Qi, this was previously handled by Zhu Shicai, and the project also received financial support from the Provincial Water Resources Department. However, Zhu Shicai deceived his superiors and subordinates and only completed the laying of pipelines on the main roads in the town. The remaining funds were either pocketed by him or misappropriated by the town."

"Is there still this?"

Qi Tongwei said angrily, "This Zhu Shicai is a piece of shit. What the hell is he?"

After understanding the general situation, Qi Tongwei said goodbye to Wang Lang and immediately went to Lin Taiping's office. Seeing that the office door was not closed, Qi Tongwei walked straight in.

"Secretary Lin, I want to talk to you about something."

When Lin Taiping saw that it was Qi Tongwei, he smiled and said, "Tongwei, what's the matter? Sit down and talk."

"Um"

Qi Tongwei nodded, pulled over a chair and sat down, "Secretary Lin, I heard from Deputy Town Mayor Wang that several villages below are having trouble getting water. I think our town party committee should take action to help the people get guaranteed drinking water as soon as possible."

Lin Taiping heard this and said calmly,

"Tongwei, the weather is not good, and no one is to blame. I know those villages. Although it is a bit dry, there are still a few ponds. Once the drought is over, everything will be fine. Why worry about it?"

Qi Tongwei was a little unhappy. How could a party member say such a thing? He directly retorted, "Secretary Lin, if you say that, I don't agree with it."

"Whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, our party and government must stand up and always put the interests of the people first. If everyone thinks like you, then the people will suffer and curse."

"Hey, Tongwei, don't get excited."

"Am I excited?" Qi Tongwei said angrily, "Secretary Lin, you are the leader. Logically, I cannot speak to you like this, but this involves the fundamental interests of the masses. I will never back down. I request to convene a party committee meeting to study this matter carefully."

"you……"

Lin Taiping looked at Qi Tongwei, stunned for a moment, then said earnestly, "Tongwei, it's not that I don't care, there is no money in this town."

"The interests of the masses, the interests of the masses, you say it so easily, but they need money here, they need money there, and where is the money to build water conservancy projects? You will understand the ins and outs of this once you become the top leader."

"Young man, don't be too angry."

Qi Tongwei sneered, "If you are not angry, can you still be called a young man? Secretary Lin, I propose to convene a party committee meeting immediately. No matter what, I will never watch the people have no water to drink and remain indifferent."

Under Qi Tongwei's strong request, Lin Taiping had no choice but to call the new director of the Party and Government Office, Li Jiwei, and ask him to make arrangements and convene a party committee meeting immediately.

About ten minutes later, the two moved to the conference room, where other members of the Party Committee had already taken their seats.

Lin Taiping sat in the main seat, and Qi Tongwei sat in the first seat on the left, opposite Sun Liancheng.

After Lin Taiping sat down, he slowly said, "This meeting is mainly to discuss the problem of water shortage in Tangkou Village and other villages."

"Tongwei, this meeting was requested by you, so you can take the lead."

Qi Tongwei nodded, his expression serious, "Comrades, as you know, it has been almost two months since we had rain in Xinyue. We in the town don't have to worry, but the people in the countryside are not having such a good time."

"Take Tangkou Village for example. It's more than 20 kilometers away from the town. Some people rush to the town early in the morning to fetch water, stumbling all the way and only return home in the evening. They run around all day just to fetch water. We have to think of ways to help them. We can't just sit there and wait for death."

Sun Liancheng said with difficulty, "Secretary Qi, I know the situation in Tangkou Village. I also heard the report from Deputy Mayor Wang about the problem of water shortage in the village."

"What our government can think of now is to use vehicles to help the people fetch water. Even though they are motorcycles and can't fetch much, if one trip isn't enough, we can make two trips, and if two trips aren't enough, we can make three trips. This can at least reduce the burden on the people a little bit."

"Hey, Mayor Sun, this is a good suggestion. I think it will work," Lin Taiping agreed. "We don't have anything in our town, but we still have a lot of motorcycles. We can send out all the government vehicles. If that doesn't work, we can also send out the police station's vehicles."

Seeing Sun Liancheng and Lin Taiping singing the same tune, Qi Tongwei smiled bitterly, "Secretary Lin, Mayor Sun, using a motorcycle to fetch water is a solution, but it is not a long-term solution."

"My suggestion is to continue the pipeline construction and extend the pipeline of Xinyue Reservoir to every village. This will not only bring convenience to the people, but also improve the grassroots facilities. It's the best of both worlds."

When Sun Liancheng heard that Qi Tongwei wanted to build pipelines to every village, his heart skipped a beat.

"Tongwei, Tongwei, this... isn't this a bit too big a step? There is no precedent for this in other towns. Besides, the town's finances can't support such a large project."
