Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

As soon as he finished speaking, he strode up to Qi Tongwei, took the suitcase from Qi Tongwei's hand with great ease, and nodded to Luo Qian and the two children, saying, "President Luo, you must have had a long journey."

Qi Tongwei nodded slightly, smiled, and pointed to the group of people behind Jiang Hai carrying stars on their shoulders: "You've made a big fuss."

"You can't blame me for this," Jiang Hai said with a smile, waving his hand. "They came voluntarily; they all wanted to see the youngest deputy provincial-level leader in China."

"You little rascal." Qi Tongwei affectionately punched Jiang Hai, then looked at the subordinates behind Jiang Hai.

Jiang Hai quickly introduced them, and Qi Tongwei shook hands with each of them.

"Hello, Committee Member Qi."

"Hello."

"Hello, Committee Member Qi."

"Hello."

……

Standing not far away, Li Dagong felt as if his mind had exploded.

The color drained from his face instantly, and his arrogant and domineering aura deflated as if doused with a bucket of cold water.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually knew Jiang Hai. Although they couldn't hear what they were saying, just by looking at their demeanor, they could tell that the other party's identity was not simple, and that Jiang Hai's identity was even inferior to that of the other party.

His subordinates and companions were also stunned, their eyes filled with astonishment. They whispered among themselves, their voices trembling, and their faces showed surprise and doubt.

Who is this person?

Why would Jiang Hai, the director of the Provincial Public Security Department, who is known as Li Changzhang's number one confidant, be so humble and ingratiating towards him?

That's right, it's about ingratiating yourself.

Those subtle gestures might just be ordinary conversations between friends to most people, but they can see at a glance that it's ingratiation.

Just as they were filled with doubt and uncertainty, a series of orderly footsteps approached from afar.

The first person to lead the group was a middle-aged man in a dark suit. He walked straight up to Qi Tongwei and bowed slightly: "Committee Member Qi, I am Wang Lei, the secretary of Governor Liu. I have come to pick you up on Governor Liu's instructions."

Qi Tongwei shook hands with Wang Lei and said with a smile, "Governor Liu is too kind. Handong is my home. I'm going back to my home. There's really no need for such a big fuss. With Comrade Jiang Hai here, that's enough."

Wang Lei tightened his grip on her hand, his smile growing even warmer, his tone carrying a hint of familiarity: "No way, you're a role model for our public security system, and you're from the same lineage as our Governor Liu."

Governor Liu said he would make sure you felt the warmth of family.

"Haha, thank you, thank you so much, Governor Liu, for your kindness."

As the two were shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries, another person quickly ran over, also in a standard official posture, and said respectfully: "Committee Member Qi, hello, I am Chen Ming from the First Division of the Provincial Government Office. Governor Zhao asked me to come and wait for you. Please come to his home for a visit."

He then reported, "The car is ready, and you can leave at any time. In addition, I will take full responsibility for your and your family's accommodation and transportation."

As Chen Ming spoke, he glanced at Wang Lei, as if silently declaring that his arrangements were more thorough.

The latter smiled, but anger flashed in his eyes, yet he dared not say anything.

He's the top official in the government, so he naturally has the upper hand over his boss.

Zhao Lichun!

Qi Tongwei was taken aback, and exchanged a glance with Jiang Hai, who shook his head slightly.

He only told Jiang Hai about his return to Handong. Given the personality of the person who signed in, he would at most report to Liu Weimin. How could Zhao Lichun know?

In any case, now that the person has arrived, he can't just ignore them, especially since he and Zhao Lichun have no real conflict.

The two shook hands and chatted, while Li Dagong, who was not far away, was already shocked and his hands and feet were ice cold.

The governor's secretary and the executive vice governor's secretary are both influential figures in the province, and it would be difficult for ordinary department-level officials to even meet them. Yet, they were being greeted one after another, which was incredibly polite.

The other people traveling with him behind him also recognized the two secretaries and were so frightened that they dared not breathe. The astonishment on their faces turned into fear. They recalled the scene on the plane and were worried that they might be held responsible.

Before everyone could react, another figure arrived, immediately interrupting the power struggle between the two provincial government secretaries.

This person is none other than Wei Wenjun, known as the top secretary of Handong and the secretary to the provincial party secretary.

“Committee Member Qi, I am Wei Wenjun, Secretary He’s secretary. I wonder if you still remember me.”

Qi Tongwei smiled and shook hands with the other party: "Of course I remember. How is Secretary He's health?"

Wei Wenjun said, "He's very good. He can eat and sleep well. He said that if it weren't for the regulations, he would like to serve another term and develop Handong properly. Haha."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Chen Ming, who kept his eyes down and didn't seem to care at all.

"Secretary He is still so ambitious," Qi Tongwei remarked.

Wei Wenjun nodded. "Oh, Committee Member Qi, Secretary He instructed me to take good care of you. Please let me know where you are going and what arrangements you need."

In addition, he said, "Please be sure to bring your family to my home for a visit."

Upon hearing Wei Wenjun's words, both Wang Lei and Chen Ming's expressions subtly changed.
