Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Just then, the phone on the table rang.

Long Yi picked up the phone, glanced at the number, and when he saw it was his former boss, Liu Shucheng, he quickly answered.

"Old leader."

"Xiaolong, take these next few days to sort out your work and get ready. I'm going to take you to meet someone."

Long Yi didn't ask who he saw, he just agreed.

Liu Shucheng, feeling curious, asked with a smile, "Xiaolong, why don't you ask me who I'm introducing you to?"

Long Yi smiled slightly, "Old leader, I'm not some greenhorn. The person you're introducing me to must be very important. There must be a reason why you're not telling me."

Liu Shucheng laughed loudly, "Not bad, not bad. To succeed in officialdom, you need a personality like yours. Only by remaining calm and composed can you achieve great things."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "I won't lie to you, it's Mayor Qi... oh no, I should call him Commissioner Qi now, he's back."

Committee Member Qi!

Long Yi was taken aback for a moment, then quickly asked, "When did this happen? What position is he coming back for?"

Liu Shucheng said, "He didn't return to Handong to take up a post; he just came back to visit his family after leaving office. But that's not impossible. I haven't heard any news about his new appointment yet, so it's not impossible for him to return to Handong."

Before Long Yi could process this information, Liu Shucheng asked again, "Little Long, what's the situation with that young comrade from your unit? Has he been wronged?"

Long Yi replied, "How could that be? Even if I suffer a grievance, I wouldn't dare let her suffer a grievance."

As you instructed, I didn't assign her any difficult tasks.

I make sure to give her every opportunity to shine.

Just now, I was talking to my colleagues in the department about giving her more responsibilities.

Liu Shucheng hummed in agreement. "That's good. We must be cautious in using her. We don't seek merit, but rather to avoid making mistakes."

At such a young age, Committee Member Qi has already risen to the vice-provincial level and is an alternate member. To put it bluntly, no one can predict where he will end up in the future.

In short, we must seize this opportunity. With this connection, as long as you don't make any fundamental mistakes, no one will dare to make things difficult for you in your career.

Long Yi replied, "Don't worry, old leader, I guarantee there won't be any mistakes, but..."

"But what?"

"But this girl is always eager to go down and do something practical. She's printed more than a dozen application forms. To be honest, I'm almost at my wit's end," Long Yi said with a wry smile.

Liu Shucheng laughed and said, "No wonder we're siblings; we both have a strong drive to get things done."

It's alright, you won't have to worry about this for long. I'll arrange a meeting with Committee Member Qi and ask him whether you should leave or stay. I'm sure he'll make a decision.

What we need to do is get everything we're supposed to do done before this decision is made. In the next few days, you should hurry up and finalize the promotion, submit a report, and I'll push it forward.

Even if he were to be demoted, a promotion to section chief would be better.

"Okay, old boss."

……

Qi Yun stormed into the office and plopped down in a chair.

Xu Yinyin, Xu's best friend, peeked out from the back seat: What's wrong? The director didn't approve it again?

Qi Yun lowered her head and said in a muffled voice: "Yeah, they said my application was rejected by the lower level because there was no suitable position."

Xu Yinyin, on the contrary, clapped her hands happily and said, "That's great!"

Qi Yun said irritably, "Hey, whose side are you on? My application was rejected and you're still saying it's good?"

Xu Yinyin shrank her head. "It's good enough as it is, this way we can be together again."

Besides, what's so good about going to the grassroots level? There's always work to be done and challenges to overcome, and if you slack off even slightly, you'll be criticized.

And that's not even the worst part. The worst part is working yourself to the bone and still not getting any results, or even if you do get results, they don't belong to you at all. You're just a nobody, a scapegoat.

Nowhere is more comfortable than the Organization Department, especially the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department. Not only is the starting point higher and the progress faster, but the work is also less complicated.

Normally, they would just go out to inspect cadres, go through the motions, and incidentally get to travel at public expense.

Just seeing those bureau-level officials treating us so politely makes me feel comfortable.

Qi Yun raised her eyes and retorted, "Can comfort feed us? We sit in the office all day filling out forms and checking materials, without any real achievements. Are we just going to drift along like this for the rest of our lives?"

Xu Yinyin pouted: "What good are actual achievements? They can't put food on the table. As long as you can get cupping therapy, that's good enough."

Don't you think about it? How many of us classmates have actually achieved anything?

Forget about actual achievements, how many people have been promoted to deputy section chief level? Some of the classmates who were demoted to lower levels are still just ordinary clerks.

Then, remembering something, she asked, "By the way, Qi Yun, do you remember our department's student council president?"

Qi Yun nodded and teased, "Of course I remember. Didn't you pursue her back then, but she rejected you? You cried for days."

Xu Yinyin blushed. "That was my mistake. Luckily, he didn't agree, otherwise I would have suffered a great loss. You have no idea, that guy had several girlfriends at the same time."

"You've had several girlfriends, but none of them will accept you, Comrade Xu Yinyin. Don't you think that's not a good thing?" After saying that, Qi Yun glanced at Xu Yinyin's chest.

Xu Yinyin has a fairly decent appearance, but unfortunately, her shortcomings are quite obvious.

Xu Yinyin followed Qi Yun's gaze downwards, realized what was happening, and felt both embarrassed and angry. She went around the desk and started raining blows on Qi Yun with her small fists, saying, "Can we still talk? Ah, I told you not to say I have small breasts, I told you not to say I have small breasts."

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I won't say anymore." Qi Yun hurriedly tried to defend herself, then surrendered with a grin. "Go on, go on, what's wrong with him?"

"He somehow found out my contact information and came to the provincial capital to contact me, saying he wanted to visit an old classmate. At the time, I naively thought he wanted to reconnect, but he actually said he wanted to pursue me."

Qi Yun, ever the gossip, asked curiously, "You wouldn't have agreed, would you?"

"Nonsense, of course not. I wouldn't want someone like him."

"and then?"

"Then, after having a meal, he revealed his true purpose."

He hoped that I could use my position in the Organization Department to make a phone call to their county, put in a good word for him, and get him a deputy section-level position.

It's terrifying to think about. For a non-existent level, a top student, the president of the department's student union, they actually abandoned all sense of shame.

Couldn't he have learned from Qi Tongwei, the legendary student union president of Handong University, and climbed his way up step by step?
