Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 776 Goodbye Pei Hong

The last piece of news was about the renovation of Tianzhou Coal Mine, and the reporter’s name was Ye Mei.

At the meeting on the continuous promotion of the transformation, Sha Ruijin delivered an important speech, calling for the Tianzhou Coal Mine to be built into one of the safest coal mines in the Han River.

However, Qi Tongwei and Sha Ruijin spoke on the phone the day before yesterday and learned that the actual situation was not as easy as described in the newspapers.

Although Sha Ruijin was able to gain a foothold in Tianzhou with the help of the momentum of the Provincial Party Committee, as the top leader of Tianzhou who had been running the business for many years, Long Fuhai still posed great resistance to him.

Especially in this renovation project, it did not go very smoothly.

Long Fuhai made only limited concessions, allowing renovations only under the premise of not affecting the economy.

In other words, I agree with your desire to renovate, but the city has no money, and a grand scale approach will definitely not work. If you are willing to spend money on it, then go ahead.

The contradiction is completely torn apart, and the fight between the two has reached a fever pitch. What you agree with, he opposes, and what he opposes, he agrees with. Nothing can be accomplished.

I don’t know when this big brother will be able to put the situation in order. If there is a chance, I have to find a way to help him and see if I can get a few more standing committee members to sign on so that Sha Ruijin can crush the other party in terms of votes.

While I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt someone calling me.

When he looked up from the newspaper, the First Secretary was calling him softly, "Mayor Qi, it's your turn."

"Oh, okay." Qi Tongwei responded, then slowly put the newspaper aside. He glanced around as he stood up. The large living room was unusually quiet, with him sitting alone on the sofa.

No one knew when Shi Yanan came back, and she was sitting in the restaurant writing something.

Looking through the window, I looked at the sky outside. It was gloomy and gray, as if covered by a thick layer of haze, which made people feel depressed and dull.

Qi Tongwei couldn't help but frown. When he looked at the time again, he realized that he had been sitting there for nearly four hours without realizing it. It was already 5:30 in the afternoon.

After following the first secretary upstairs and into the study, Qi Tongwei finally met the provincial party secretary Pei Yihong after four hours.

Pei Yihong was standing by the window, facing the door, gazing into the distance to relieve his fatigue. When he heard the noise, he turned around and jokingly said, "Hey, the hero is back?"

Qi Tongwei blushed, "Secretary Pei, please stop making fun of me. Whether I'm a hero or not, I'm all serving the people."

"You kid, stop talking nonsense. I left you to the last one. Have you been cursing in your heart?" Pei Yihong scolded with a smile.

Qi Tongwei smiled and said, "How dare I? You left me for last, so you must have your reasons."

"Well, there is a reason, and that is to stay for dinner." Pei Chong waved his hand at Qi Tongwei and walked out of the office first.

Qi Tongwei shrugged and said, "Well, the world is big, the leader is the most important. The mayor of a city with a population of five million waited for four hours just to have dinner with him."

When we arrived at the restaurant, the secretary had already asked someone to serve the food.

The dishes were home-cooked, and there were only three people, Pei Yihong, Qi Tongwei, and Shi Yanan.

After sending the secretary and others to dinner, Pei Yihong personally brought a bottle of wine over, poured a glass for Shi Yanan, and asked meaningfully: "Yanan, how do you feel?"

Shi Yanan held the wine glass, glanced at Qi Tongwei, and replied: "Of course I won, old leader, you lost."

Qi Tongwei looked between the two of them, not understanding what they were talking about, but guessed that it must be related to him.

"Oh? Really? It seems I was wrong." Pei Yihong poured a glass for Qi Tongwei and glanced at him.

Qi Tongwei held the cup with both hands, his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart, without saying a word.

Pei Yihong was amused. "Yanan, you know what, you really won." After that, he picked up the wine glass and said to Qi Tongwei: "Come on, Tongwei, I toast you. You have worked hard on this trip to Kyoto."

Qi Tongwei quickly put on an expression of deep fear and trepidation, raised his glass and clinked it with Pei Yihong's, "Secretary Pei, you're embarrassing me. This is what I should do."

"Hey, don't be so modest. You were able to get your ad on the Spring Festival Gala this time, which brought honor to Beishan. You deserve praise.

Comrade Huabei, Comrade Anbang also proposed to promote you, but I rejected it." Pei Yihong said as he observed Qi Tongwei.

I noticed that the other party didn't show much expression when he heard the news, and I couldn't help but secretly admire him.

"My advice is, you're still young. Improving too quickly won't be good for your future development. It's best to wait until you've achieved the results you want at Beishan."

Qi Tongwei nodded, appearing remarkably calm and composed. "Secretary Pei, I share the same thoughts as you. I also feel that I've been moving too fast these past few years, and some of my foundations aren't very solid yet. Slowing down is indeed the best option."

Pei Yihong looked at Qi Tongwei seriously, making sure that he was not lying. He couldn't help but sigh, what a good seedling! No wonder Yu Huabei would rather face Zhao Anbang and his anger than accept him.

Even Shi Yanan felt that Qi Tongwei was very much to her liking. To be honest, she didn't have a strong desire for a career in politics.

Others engage in economics and development in order to pursue a career in politics, but she pursues a career in politics for her own ambitions, ideals and beliefs.

Qi Tongwei's behavior this time coincided with her personality, which made her like him even more.

Qi Tongwei didn't know that he had gained another wave of goodwill. Picking up the wine glass, his mind was no longer on promotion, but on how to get the provincial party secretary drunk.

At nine o'clock in the evening, after spending nearly eight hours at Pei Yihong's house and listening to the "heartfelt words" of the meal, Qi Tongwei was "driven" out by Pei Yihong who cursed his mother.

Shi Yanan, who was "driven out" together, had a blush on her face, full of resentment. She became more aware of Qi Tongwei's boldness.

Qi Tongwei was the only one in Hanjiang Province who dared to force the provincial party secretary to drink, and he even caused her to be "implicated".

……

The next day, Qi Tongwei visited several friendly leaders in the province one after another. This time the atmosphere was normal. Neither Governor Zheng Bingyi, Yu Huabei, nor Zhao Anbang tried to give him any advice as a junior. Instead, they praised Qi Tongwei a lot.

However, there are still some situations that several big guys have encountered.

For example, Governor Zheng Bingyi extended an olive branch to him, asking him if he wanted to leave Han River with him and develop in other places, and hinted that if he was willing, he would be promoted to mayor with real power immediately.

Qi Tongwei would certainly not be so short-sighted. Beishan had finally opened up the situation and he would definitely not stop at being a main hall official after this achievement was taken.

Going somewhere else and starting over would not only be tiring, but would also make Director Zhong look down on me.

Besides, he has no shortage of promotion opportunities now, and he also wants to do something practical to make his life more exciting.

So he declined the offer on the grounds that he couldn't leave the stall in Beishan.

Zheng Bingyi didn't say much. He just told him about the province he might be transferred to and asked him to meet his "old leader" when he passed by on official business.

Qi Tongwei readily agreed, "Old leader, as long as you don't mind, I will definitely bother you."

Zheng Bingyi waved his hand. "What do you mean by bothering me? Just come on. I heard you like drinking. I have a few bottles of good wine at home, just waiting for you to come and chat. I can drink quite a lot, so I will definitely make sure you enjoy it."

Obviously he had heard about Qi Tongwei's heroic deeds last night.
