Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 988 Returning to China

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements now."

Qi Tongwei considered it for a moment, and Pei Yihong's concerns were not unreasonable.

For those in charge, sometimes achievements are secondary; social stability is more important.

Qi Tongwei had his flight to the Netherlands changed, preparing to return to China.

The couple had to part again, and Liang Lu was very reluctant to leave.

Once they return to China, they will probably never have the chance to spend so much time together again.

Feeling guilty, Qi Tongwei could only postpone the meeting for two days, using passionate lovemaking to comfort Liang Lu.

……

September 25th, sunny.

Qi Tongwei hastily concluded his more than 20-day trip to Europe and led his delegation back to China.

It is worth mentioning that on the way to the airport, Qi Tongwei discovered that the situation in France was becoming increasingly serious.

Everywhere you look, there are crowds of people holding banners and marching in protest.

Some radicals even threatened to start a war to teach Japan a lesson.

Military vehicles and heavily armed soldiers can be seen everywhere on the streets and alleys.

Judging from the situation, it's not about suppressing protests, but rather about entering a full state of emergency to prepare for a possible war.

After all, there are precedents for Japan launching surprise attacks.

On the train, the group members who witnessed this scene were discussing whether it would lead to war, or even escalate into World War III.

Qi Tongwei believes it is unlikely.

The United States currently dominates the global situation, and its goal has always been to contain China and Russia in order to achieve its goal of global hegemony.

Japan and France are considered its junior partners, and are important forces in controlling Europe and containing Asia. The US certainly wouldn't want the two countries to fight each other, which would weaken its control.

The final outcome will definitely be that the United States will mediate and Japan will have to pay a lot of compensation.

Regardless, this incident still has some benefits for China.

This will not only throw these developed countries into chaos for a while, but also serve as revenge for the bombing of their embassies in May.

It can also curb Japan's development.

Given the current situation, European countries will definitely boycott Japanese products, which presents China with an opportunity to overtake them.

……

China, the Han River.

Upon returning to China, Qi Tongwei first went to Pei Yihong's office to give a report.

Coincidentally, Zhao Anbang was also there.

The two first praised Qi Tongwei, commending his contributions during his trip to Europe.

They also had informants within the inspection team. They knew perfectly well that Qi Tongwei worked hard from dawn till dusk every day to promote the investment in Beishan.

Young, energetic, and most importantly, reliable. Even in dealing with Tian Fengyi's problem, he did his best and did everything perfectly.

How could anyone not like such a selfless comrade who puts the overall situation first?

Zhao Anbang said, "Your achievements this time are outstanding. Just two days ago, the famous German entrepreneur Alfred led an inspection team to our Hanjiang area and finalized the intention to invest in and establish a branch company with us. This is all thanks to you."

Qi Tongwei was taken aback. He only learned of Alfred's suspension of cooperation with Japan after Doihara's death.

However, they were unaware that the other party had finalized a cooperation agreement with the Han River government so quickly.

Two days ago, wasn't that exactly when the Japanese defied the world and fired that earth-shattering shot?

It seems that this shot also dispelled Alfred's hesitation.

It was a delightful surprise.

Qi Tongwei replied modestly, "Secretary Pei, Governor Zhao, this is all thanks to everyone's hard work, I dare not take credit."

Zhao Anbang smiled and pointed at Qi Tongwei, saying, "You little rascal, don't try that trick on me."

As I've said before, we at Hanjiang don't play these games. The credit goes to whoever deserves it.

Qi Tongwei remained humble, saying that he hadn't done much and that the leaders in charge of receiving Alfred deserved more credit for making the investment.

“You all deserve credit, so there’s no need to argue anymore,” Pei Yihong said with a smile. “Tongwei, now that you’re back, get back to work as soon as possible. Beishan is waiting for you to come back and take charge.”

Qi Tongwei didn't catch the hidden meaning in Zhao Anbang's words and nodded, "Yes, Secretary Pei, I'll rush back to Beishan today."

Pei Yihong hinted, "There's no need to rush. You've just returned, so you can rest in the provincial capital for a while, adjust to the time difference, and also catch up on some recent developments in the province and city."

This will be beneficial to your work.

Qi Tongwei understood, but he didn't think of He Anxia's question. He thought it was his counterattack against Qu Zhengping that caused a stir in the province. Pei Yihong told him to clarify the situation first.

"Okay, Secretary Pei, I'll go back first thing tomorrow morning."

After spending some time in the provincial party secretary's office and sharing some of his observations about Europe, Qi Tongwei took his leave.

Just as he was about to call He Anxia, ​​the political know-it-all, to find out what was going on, Yu Huabei's secretary came over and said that Secretary Yu wanted to see him.

These leaders are truly amazing.

I've only been back for a short time, and the whole provincial party committee already knows about it.

Qi Tongwei didn't dare to delay. He put away the phone and followed Secretary Yu Huabei straight to the office of the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee.

As usual, amidst the envy and jealousy of a group of Party and government officials, he cut in line to enter the office.

"Secretary Yu, you wanted to see me."

Upon entering, Qi Tongwei did not see the comrade who was supposed to give a report. In the spacious office, only Yu Huabei stood by the window with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed, seemingly lost in thought.

Upon hearing the voice, Yu Huabei turned around and beckoned Qi Tongwei to sit down.

Since the leader didn't sit down, Qi Tongwei didn't dare to sit first and stood beside the sofa looking at Yu Huabei.

Seeing this, Yu Huabei gently waved his hand to dismiss his secretary, and then walked to the sofa with a heavy heart and sat down.

"sit down."

Qi Tongwei sat down opposite him and asked cautiously, "Secretary Yu, are you still worried about Comrade Feng Yi's matter?"

Yu Huabei snorted, "He's not worth worrying about. I'm worried about you!"

"Worried about me?" Qi Tongwei's heart sank. Had his secret been exposed?

That's impossible. These are all his loyal followers who signed in regularly. Even if he were caught, there's no way he would betray them.

“Yes.” Yu Huabei took a letter out of his pocket. “Take a look.”

Could this be another whistleblower letter?

Damn it, is Qu Zhengping never going to stop?

Qi Tongwei opened it and quickly browsed through it.

It turns out they weren't reporting him, but He Anxia.

What are your thoughts on some of the things mentioned above?

Qi Tongwei, unsure of how much information the provincial committee possessed, cautiously replied, "It's hard to say. Personally, I believe in He Anxia's party spirit."

However, this is just my personal opinion and is not objective. I think the provincial party committee needs to investigate and verify it.

"What if it's verified to be true?" Yu Huabei asked.

Qi Tongwei was stunned for a moment, but his mind was in turmoil as he recalled Pei Yihong's words from earlier.

Does this mean the provincial party committee has decided to take down He Anxia?

No wonder Yu Huabei said he was worried about him.

If that's the case, then he is indeed in some trouble.

Given his qualifications, there is likely to be controversy regarding his appointment as the municipal party secretary. If he cannot take over as the top leader, there is a high possibility that things will change in Beishan.

After all, which municipal party secretary would willingly serve as an assistant to the mayor like He Anxia?

Even Pei Yihong, who was from North China, was no exception.

Moreover, the provincial party committee would never allow someone from North China to serve as the municipal party secretary.

On the surface, Mayor Qi Tongwei and Deputy Party Secretary Ma Da are both from Yu Huabei. What would happen if another Party Secretary were added?
