Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 1013 The New Secretary Xia Guanglei (2)

"That's hard to say. Now it's not just one powerful dragon, it's more than a dozen. What local bully can withstand that?"

Xu Lian said, "I can't withstand it, but with you here, I believe he can't cause too much trouble."

Qi Tongwei smiled slightly, acknowledging Xu Lian's words of loyalty, then looked up at the other standing committee members and silently began to calculate in his mind.

Among the Standing Committee members of Beishan City, Qi Tongwei currently holds the firm support of Executive Vice Mayor Xu Lian, Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Zuo Ming, and Municipal Party Committee Secretary-General Wu Huiying, making a total of four votes including himself.

Duan Feng, the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, has behaved moderately and steadily over the past year.

Moreover, he also possesses evidence of their crimes, so even if they don't sign in, the other party has no choice but to submit, which counts as a vote.

The rest…

Although Deputy Secretary Ma Da had a good relationship with him on the surface, and the two belonged to the same faction in North China, outsiders saw each other as his people.

Actually, that's not the case. This person is a reckless scoundrel, not someone who is willing to be a sycophant.

Qi Tongwei has no goodwill towards him either, and there is a high possibility that he will betray him; at most, he can be considered neutral.

Organization Minister Hu Cheng, Military Region Political Commissar Li Lincheng, and Propaganda Minister Wu Yingjie used to rely on He Anxia and had a good relationship with him, so they can sign in.

However, Qi Tongwei did not sign any of the three.

Firstly, he didn't have many sign-in points, less than a hundred. After signing in with three people, his points would be cleared, which was very disadvantageous for him in dealing with emergencies.

Secondly, the potential of the three individuals.

Besides Hu Cheng, who is 48 years old, the other two are 55 and 56 years old respectively. If he wants to sign in, he has to eliminate a few important spots.

Not worth it.

Moreover, even without these three people signing in, he still holds five votes in the Standing Committee meeting. With a little effort in winning them over, he believes that would be enough to handle the situation ahead.

Thinking about it, half an hour quickly passed.

Two Audis drove up in the distance.

"Mayor, they've arrived," Wu Huiying, with her sharp eyes, reminded them.

Qi Tongwei also saw it and called to everyone to get ready, "Let's go, let's welcome our new class monitor."

The car came to a stop, the door opened, and Pi Dingzhong, the executive deputy minister of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, got out of the car. A handsome young man got out of the other door.

The Beishan Standing Committee members, along with Qi Tongwei, greeted Pi Dingzhong, but their attention was focused on the young man.

I couldn't help but wonder if the other person was thirty-five years old.

From the outside, the other party looks similar to Qi Tongwei, but he is more composed in his demeanor and has a bit of a noble air about him. He has a very good appearance and makes people feel good about him.

"Minister Pi, hello."

"Tongwei, we meet again." Pi Dingzhong smiled and shook hands with Qi Tongwei, then glanced at the crowd. "Where is Comrade Anxia?"

Qi Tongwei replied, "Oh, Secretary An has already gone to the Provincial Party Committee to report for duty."

Pi Dingzhong nodded without saying anything.

He Anxia had already announced his resignation a week ago, but he did not leave Beishan due to some personal matters, so it is understandable that he did not come to greet him.

"Come, let me introduce you. This is your new Party Secretary of Beishan, Comrade Xia Guanglei."

"Hello, Comrade Guanglei." Qi Tongwei smiled and extended his hand to the other party. "Qi Tongwei, your future partner."

Xia Guanglei's expression changed slightly, but he immediately recovered.

In his view, he was the top leader, and everyone should be his subordinate, including Qi Tongwei.

partner?

Is she trying to put herself on equal footing with him? How arrogant!

Xia Guanglei smiled warmly and said, "Hello, Comrade Tongwei. I have heard a lot about your achievements in Beijing. You are a very capable reform comrade. It is my honor to work with you."

Qi Tongwei waved his hand, "You flatter me. A little bit of fame is nothing."

After exchanging a few polite words, Pi Dingzhong introduced the other members of the Standing Committee to Xia Guanglei.

Xia Guanglei also greeted everyone warmly.

"Mada, someone told me about you, saying you are a very principled comrade. I hope you can maintain this principle. If I do anything wrong in my work in the future, please give me your guidance."

Ma Da was pleased to be praised. "Secretary Xia, people say I'm inflexible and stubborn. Just don't get angry later."

Xia Guanglei said, "How could that be? Emperor Taizong of Tang said it well: 'Use bronze as a mirror to straighten your clothes; use history as a mirror to know the rise and fall of dynasties; use people as a mirror to understand your gains and losses.'"

Having a comrade like you who dares to speak the truth and upholds principles by my side is a reminder, but also an encouragement.

A team needs both the drive to forge ahead and the resolve to uphold its principles; these two qualities complement each other to ensure steady and long-term success.

Upon hearing this, Ma Da felt that the secretary was a confidant. He nodded and said earnestly, "Secretary Xia, your words give me even more confidence. I will definitely do my duty and live up to your trust. As long as it's for the good of the work and everyone, I will say what needs to be said and do what needs to be done."

Secretary Xia smiled and patted Ma Da on the shoulder: "I'm relieved to hear you say that. Let's encourage each other, do our jobs well, and set a good example. We can't neglect either principles or unity. In the future, we should discuss things more often and solve problems together."

Ma Da responded, "Yes, Secretary Xia, I will always remind myself of this, and I also welcome your criticism and guidance."

The two exchanged a smile, and Xia Guanglei then looked at Zuo Ming, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, who was standing behind Ma Da.

"Secretary Xia, hello, welcome." Zuo Ming extended his hand in a proper manner.

Xia Guanglei held Zuo Ming's hand and said to everyone, "When I came down, I made a point of learning about the situation in Beishan."

Comrade Zuo Ming left a deep impression on me.

why?

Because our anti-corruption work in Beishan is very sensational!

Over the past year, more than 1,000 officials have been investigated and punished, involving many important positions. The scale of the crackdown has attracted widespread attention throughout the city and even the province.

This not only demonstrates the Beishan Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection's determination to resolutely implement the central government's anti-corruption spirit, but also highlights Comrade Zuo Ming's courage to confront difficulties and his willingness to take responsibility, which is truly admirable.

Zuo Ming bowed slightly, his expression remaining calm and humble, and replied in a steady tone, "Secretary Xia, you flatter me."

The anti-corruption work in Beishan City has achieved some preliminary results, which is by no means my achievement alone, but the result of the collective decision-making and strong leadership of the municipal party committee, as well as the achievement of the concerted efforts and joint struggle of cadres and the masses at all levels.

As one of them, I simply fulfilled my duties and did what I was supposed to do.

"What a wonderful example of fulfilling one's duties and doing what one should do! If everyone thought like Comrade Zuo Ming, how could our Red Star Party not have the support of the people?" Xia Guanglei praised.

...

Qi Tongwei coldly observed the other party's hypocritical posturing. He thought it was wishful thinking to try and win over these members of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee with just a few words.

Let alone getting him to sign in, even other people wouldn't easily place a bet.

Xia Guanglei ignored the thoughts swirling in everyone's minds and continued to do as he pleased, talking with each member of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee.

He could recount some stories about each person and offer a few comments on their achievements, clearly indicating that he had done a lot of research.

Although the efforts to win them over have not yet been effective, they have at least gained some goodwill.

Half an hour later, the small talk ended.

Pi Dingzhong waved his hand, and everyone got into the car and headed to the Municipal Party Committee Auditorium.
