Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 703 2 and a half years

Qi Tongwei blew out the smoke and put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray.

"You should find a chance to teach these useless guys a lesson. If they can't even stand firmly on their feet, what's the point of having them?"

Qi Tongwei really wronged them. Their rank was low, the highest being deputy bureau level. It was already good enough for them to control the power of a department. Tian Guofu had the support of the overbearing president Sha Ruijin, so they didn't even have the qualifications to fight.

Although Qi Tongwei is a powerful backer, he is outside the party committee department and the government department. The Discipline Inspection Commission is a very independent department. There are institutional restrictions and it is difficult for Qi Tongwei to exert his influence outside. Chen Jin knows the inside story and has his own ideas, but he cannot oppose Qi Tongwei's ideas, so he nodded and expressed his own opinion.

"Okay, I'll meet with them in a couple of days. They are capable, but their ranks are not high. The situation in the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection is unclear right now.

Maybe if we give them some support and handle some cases well, they can gain a foothold.

I suggest giving them a little more time.”

Qi Tongwei was busy reading the documents of the free trade zone and drinking tea. He didn't even listen attentively. He was just angry. Chen Jin knew him very well.

"You are responsible for these things. You don't need to tell me everything. If these guys are useful, then help them. If they are not useful, then don't bother with them.

I have a lot of things to do here, and I will discuss the matters in the bureau with Li Wei and others.

If the bureau wants to start the personnel season in the first half of the year, with you as the leader, I will convince Li Wei and Xiao Jiang to fully support you.

This is a heavy task, you have to balance all aspects, and give me your review once you have a draft."

Chen Jin nodded.

"Yes, I understand. I have already held a meeting with the Political Department and started preparing for this matter."

After saying that, Chen Jin turned his head and looked at the distant scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

Time is a skilled thief. Its characteristic is that it appears and disappears mysteriously. When it leaves, it will take some things away, and it will also always leave some traces.

In 2007, two years passed quickly. There were too many things going on in these two years, and Qi Tongwei had sealed the empire with great pain. He wanted to restart it after this busy period. However, he didn't know that after this busy period, he would have to go through another busy period, and this and that continued until two years later.

In the past two years, Qi Tongwei's face has shown a bit of vicissitudes. When he walks among the cadres, no one will call him a secretary anymore. Qi Tongwei himself thought that it must be because he was too busy with work in the past two years.

The structure of the municipal party committee has not changed much, but Sha Ruijin has been getting more and more comfortable in Jiangzhou and has won the appreciation of Zhao Mengsheng. I heard that he is planning to be promoted to deputy secretary of the municipal party committee recently, but I don't know whether he will also hold the position of secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission. On the other hand, Gao Yuliang also took the position of deputy secretary of the municipal party committee as executive vice mayor before Sha Ruijin. Gao Yuliang's influence in Jiangzhou has already surpassed that of the mayor and he has become the de facto second in command.

Qi Tongwei knew that this situation would only last for a year or two. After the change of leadership in 08, the number of deputy secretaries of the municipal party committee would be reduced to two. One would serve concurrently as the mayor, and the other full-time deputy secretary would only serve concurrently as the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, the Minister of the United Front Work Department, the Secretary of the Education Working Committee, and other relatively lower-ranking deputy positions.

The situation where a relatively strong discipline inspection committee secretary or executive vice mayor holds the position concurrently will no longer occur, as the higher-ups may feel that this will affect the balance.

There is no major change in Qi Tongwei's position for the time being. He is still the deputy mayor and concurrently serves as the director of the Public Security Bureau and the deputy secretary and executive deputy director of the Free Trade Zone Management Committee. The temporary agency command center has been abolished, and all cadres have been incorporated into the management committee. After research by the Municipal Party Committee, in accordance with the policy of streamlining institutions, all cadres of the management committee will be assigned to the district party committee, district government or district-affiliated departments. After a period of transition, it should be made clear that the Management Committee and the Pujiang New Area District Party Committee and District Government will share a single office, with one staff and two names.

In March 2007, Qi Tongwei was wearing an executive jacket and presiding over a meeting of the Free Trade Zone Management Committee which had been newly established for more than a year. He was particularly enthusiastic in presiding over today's meeting. The reason was very simple. Yesterday, the director of the Management Committee, Sun Qi, who was also a member of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Pujiang New Area Party Committee, was transferred to Hanxi Province to serve as Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. Then, the position of the member of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Pujiang New Area Party Committee, which he had been dreaming of day and night, would now be his turn.

It can be said that as long as Qi Tongwei is transferred to the position of district party secretary, the Free Trade Zone Management Committee and Pujiang New District will officially share the same office. Qi Tongwei's voice is lively when he speaks and the smile on his face is more sincere. This day has finally come. We ordinary people are really happy today.

“Comrades, the construction of our free trade zone has basically completed the first phase, and the feedback from the last State Council’s acceptance was very positive.

But we can't relax, we have to prepare to start the second phase of construction soon.

Starting from the second phase of the Zhuhai Island Pier, everyone has experience, and now we will start to subdivide the tasks..."

Qi Tongwei assigned tasks to everyone with a smile. In the past two years, he has rarely interfered in the daily work of the Public Security Bureau. Most of the work was handed over to Executive Deputy Director Chen Jin, Office Director Li Wei and Criminal Investigation Corps Chief Jiang Daqiang. He is now also a member of the Party Committee.

These three people basically control the power of Jiangzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau. Of course, Qi Tongwei still makes the final decision on major issues, and the three of them can only control power with Qi Tongwei's full support.

The police officers have also become accustomed to the presence of these three people. Knowing that Qi Tongwei will definitely hand over the position to Chen Jin, quite a number of police officers have taken the initiative to join the three.

As soon as the meeting ended, Qi Tongwei immediately waved to call Ye Biao.

“Ye Biao, organize a few teams to start work immediately. The second phase of approval has not yet been officially approved by the State Council.

But first things first, start the preparation work first, don't waste time.

I will immediately go to the secretary and Mayor Gao to urge them to do so."

Ye Biao is not a talkative person and he has a strong execution ability. After listening to him, he immediately nodded and went to work. Qi Tongwei felt that Ye Biao was a qualified nuclear-powered donkey and was really good at his job.

Qi Tongwei immediately took out a can of tea from the office. His tea was naturally not from Ci Xin Garden in Wuyi Mountain. Ever since he was promoted to the vice-ministerial level, Qi Tongwei began to return to nature and only drank tea grown by his father in Qijiazhuang, his hometown. Qi's father contracted a tea garden and only produced dozens or hundreds of kilograms of tea every year.

After his position became higher, Qi Tongwei found that other people started to flatter him more and more attentively. Sometimes he would just casually talk about which tea, cigarette or alcohol was delicious, and someone would send him the top-quality products the next day.
