Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 1126 (To be revised 3)

Just after returning to the provincial capital, Guo Huai-ren suddenly called, saying that Qian Zhao-yi was in a hurry to see him.

Qi Tongwei did not want to contact the other party.

Qian Zhaoyi is like a knife, a slightly ominous knife, capable of harming others as well as himself, so he cannot possibly go to see the other party.

Unless he can parachute into Handong like Sha Ruijin in the original drama, he will need to use this knife to break the deadlock.

If you go to see him at this time, and Qian Zhaoyi's affair is exposed, you will inevitably be implicated.

"Old boss, there's no need for a meeting. If he has anything urgent, he can simply ask you to pass it on."

Guo Huai-ren seemed to have anticipated this situation and said with a faint smile, "There's nothing urgent. I think he probably feels that he has already pledged his allegiance to you and wants you to express your opinion, bring him under your wing, and fulfill your promise."

"A promise?" Qi Tongwei smiled slightly. "What promise does he need from me?"

Guo Huai-ren was taken aback and reminded him, "You weren't before...?"

Qi Tongwei said slowly, "Judging from the current situation, that person's condition is already very bad."

At this critical moment, with his son-in-law running into trouble, he probably won't be able to stay in Handong any longer.

Therefore, I don't need to fulfill his promise at all; someone else will do it for him.

"What if Zhao Lichun manages to stay calm?" Guo Huai-ren asked.

“If Zhao Lichun stays put, then I’m even less likely to change Qian Zhaoyi’s position. Aren’t I afraid of alerting him? My junior is keeping an eye on you and me.”

Guo Huai-ren also realized what was going on. "It really is." After thinking for a moment, he added, "Tongwei, we made a promise to him back then. If we don't help him adjust, I'm afraid he might..."

"What? A fight to the death? We didn't promise him anything, we just told him to follow the procedures and regulations."

"That's true, but I'm afraid of this person. He gets stuck on things. As the saying goes, even a rabbit will bite when cornered. What if he starts making wild accusations and accusations? What if Zhao Lichun finds out the truth then..."

"Don't worry, he has no guts. If he did, he wouldn't have waited until today."

It's worth noting that in the original drama, Qian Zhaoyi was even more miserable than Yi Xuexi.

Yi Xuexi served as a division-level cadre for twenty years, while Qian Zhaoyi also served as a department-level cadre for nearly twenty years.

Moreover, although Yi Xuexi has served as a division-level cadre for many years, the power and authority of his position are not low.

They were either county heads or directors of municipal transportation bureaus, holding positions with real power at the division level. Their rank hadn't been promoted, but they were always highly valued and not marginalized.

In contrast, Qian Zhaoyi is different. He is the Secretary-General of the Provincial Political Consultative Conference. Isn't that position equivalent to early retirement?

Having suffered unfair treatment for twenty years, even after Zhao Lichun stepped down to the second line and with the support of Sha Ruijin, this secretary-general still did not dare to directly attack Zhao Lichun. Instead, he turned his attention to Gao Yuliang, who had no hope of succeeding as the provincial party secretary and was also going to step down to the second line.

This reveals his weak character.

Qi Tongwei is currently at the height of his power, and even Zhao Lichun has to give him some leeway. Where does he get the audacity to provoke Qi Tongwei?

Guo Huai-ren was still worried. "Tongwei, it's better to be safe than sorry."

Qi Tongwei said, "There won't be any 'what ifs'. I have some friends in the upper echelons and in Handong. I will have people keep an eye on me. If he dares to smear me, not only will my political life be in danger, but even my retirement will be in question."

He's a very cautious person; I don't think he'd do something that would lose money.

After a pause, he continued, "How about this, I'll give him a suggestion. Tell him that Han Ming, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, has been very active at the top lately, and I think he has a good chance of replacing Zhao Lichun."
