Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 593 Trouble

Qi Tongwei was amused. This little girl was really interesting.

Ye Mei also smiled, "Xiao Qian, I feel like you're acting like a parent."

Sha Ruijin said, "Comrade Ye Mei, you're absolutely right. In our family, she's the boss. Little girls can also hold up half the sky."

As if to echo Sha Ruijin's words, Sha Xiaoqian looked at him, touched his chin and said, "Dad, how many days have you not shaved your beard? Look how long it is. You haven't strictly followed my requirements."

Sha Ruijin glanced at everyone and said with a wry smile, "It's not that I'm busy with work. There's a lot of work in the city that hasn't been sorted out, and I really can't spare the time. I promise that after this busy period is over, I will strictly abide by your requirements."

Sha Xiaoqian still looked old-fashioned and nodded. "Okay, but you should shave now that you have time. Your personal image is very important, especially in front of women."

Sha Ruijin spread his hands and said, "I don't have a razor with me."

Sha Xiaoqian had no choice but to give up.

Sha Ruijin asked, "This time I plan to let you go to Beishan with your Uncle Qi to study. What do you think?"

Sha Xiaoqian understood immediately, "Are there any obstacles at work?"

Sha Ruijin nodded, "It is a bit troublesome, but if you go to Beishan, I will save myself a lot of unnecessary trouble."

Sha Xiaoqian said, "Have I become a problem for you?"

"It's not that you're a trouble to me, but I don't want to be a trouble to hurt you."

Sha Xiaoqian agreed, "Okay, but I will come to see you every week."

"Weekly? Don't plan it too regularly. I think once a month, randomly, is best."

Sha Xiaoqian became serious, "Is it troublesome?"

Sha Ruijin said seriously: "It might be troublesome."

Sha Xiaoqian pondered for a moment and nodded, "Okay."

Everyone chatted for a while at the reception. Sha Ruijin looked at the time and suggested having a meal together.

The group found a restaurant that was neither big nor small near the city hall.

After entering the private room and sitting down, Qi Tongwei asked the waiter for a drink, but was stopped by Sha Ruijin. "Tongwei, I'm afraid I can't today. I have work in the afternoon. I need to go to the countryside to investigate the problem of false reporting and concealment. I'm afraid that smelling of alcohol will damage the image of the municipal government."

Qi Tongwei said, "Can't we go tomorrow? We finally get to meet old friends again, how can we not get drunk?"

Sha Ruijin waved his hand: "We're working so close to each other this time, we'll inevitably communicate in the future. There will be plenty of opportunities, so forget it today."

Qi Tongwei had no choice but to wave to the waiter, but he did not spare Sha Ruijin, "Old Sha, this is a bit unkind of you. It has been three years since we last parted in a hurry.

No, to be honest, this is our first official meal together after ten years of separation. We can’t not drink at all, even if we don’t celebrate.”

Sha Ruijin smiled bitterly and said, "During work hours, I must lead by example. Tongwei, I hope you can understand me. Now, apart from being upright, there is no other way for me to establish my prestige. If I go to the countryside drunk today, I'm afraid that someone with ulterior motives will take advantage of me and put me in the Tianzhou Daily tomorrow."

Qi Tongwei slammed the table and said, "He dares! If anyone dares to make a fuss about this, just put the blame on me. I'll see who dares to say a word."

Qi Tongwei is now in the limelight. His series of big moves in Beishan City have attracted the attention of the whole province.

He recently secured another 5 billion investment, and this alone would allow him to rise significantly in status. If someone suddenly came out and said that Qi Tongwei drank during working hours and engaged in political corruption, he would probably be suppressed by the provincial government before he could even finish his words.

Beishan City has been in a mess for so long, and finally a capable person came and made some progress. Are you going to offend him just because of such a trivial matter?

Not to mention Pei Yihong and Zhao Anbang, I'm afraid even Governor Zheng, who is about to leave, will not let the other party go.

After all, if Zheng Bingyi leads Beishan to a successful transformation when the term of office changes next year, he will be given a high score by the higher-ups for his outstanding achievements.

Sha Ruijin felt quite emotional. In the blink of an eye, his little brother had grown up to the point where he had to look up to him.

Sha Ruijin waved his hand. "Forget it. You're my trump card. I won't use it easily. When I'm done with this, I'll treat you to a drink. I also want to see if your alcohol tolerance is still as strong as before."

Qi Tongwei raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Things are different now. You should be prepared to lie down."

"Bullshit! I think it's not certain who will lie down." Sha Ruijin nodded at Qi Tongwei.

Looking at the two leaders chatting and laughing, Ye Mei looked curiously at Qi Tongwei, the mayor who has been in the limelight recently. About a month ago, she made a secret visit to Beishan, the mayor.

Noticing Ye Mei's gaze, Qi Tongwei took the initiative to bring up the topic, "Comrade Ye Mei, last time you came to our Beishan for an unannounced visit, you praised me a bit too much, especially saying that I was a good mayor. It really makes me ashamed."

Ye Mei smiled and said, "Mayor Qi, you are wrong. This is not what I said, but what the people said. However, in my opinion, the people are not wrong. What you have done can be considered as a good mayor?"

At this time, Sha Xiaoqian interrupted, "Aunt Ye Mei, what about my father? Is he a good mayor?"

Everyone laughed.

Sha Ruijin's old face turned red, but he looked at Ye Mei expectantly. It didn't matter whether he was a good mayor or not. What mattered was whether he was a good mayor in the other party's impression.

Ye Mei said, "Of course it counts. Your father is just like Mayor Qi. They are both good mayors who care about the people."

Everyone laughed.

Qi Tongwei said modestly: "I can't say I'm a good mayor. I just do what I can for the people to the best of my ability."

Ye Mei smiled and said, "If everyone thought like you, Mayor Qi, I think we ordinary people wouldn't have to worry about not having a good life. Who wouldn't support our party?"

"You're praising me again." Qi Tongwei nodded at Ye Mei and said seriously, "Comrade Ye Mei, you are the defending champion of Han River, so you can't be biased, even if we are familiar with each other and have a slight relationship.

But you are a reporter reporting the truth. You need to always look at things from an objective perspective and be skeptical of everyone.

In addition, I don’t quite agree with what you said. I think that the quality of our lives cannot be determined solely by the quality of officials. Instead, everyone should learn to use their due rights to live a good life.

For example, you journalists are a very important link. If you dare to report the truth, those officials will be cautious.

If ordinary people dare to speak the truth, officials will be extremely cautious. If there are also sound laws and regulations, these people will not dare to act recklessly, and they will all become good officials who are honest and dedicated to their work. This order cannot be confused."
