Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 518: Blocking the Road to Demand Wages

Qi Tongwei smiled and said, "On this point, Minister Wang and I have some empathy. When I graduated from university, I was determined to return to my hometown and lead my fellow villagers to prosperity. Later, I achieved some success.

I felt very ashamed, because of this little achievement, I was entrusted with important tasks, and the burden on me became heavier and heavier. From then on, I went home less and less often.

It's been about two or three years since I last went back, and the number of times I've seen my children has been pitifully small. Some time ago, my wife even said that my son doesn't even recognize me, his father.

Wang Rucheng smiled and waved his hand, "It's all the same. My son has never been close to me. Ever since I took on this position, our time has become meaningless. It's a luxury to want to be close to our children. This time when you're in Beishan City, I think you'll be busy."

Then he sighed again, "Our work in Beishan City is not easy. To put it bluntly, it's difficult to reverse the situation.

History has its ups and downs. Forty years of prosperity have made it difficult for this big ship to turn around. To be honest, in the past five years, the municipal party secretary has been replaced twice and the mayor has been replaced three times.

Minister Hao used to be the one who sent people to their posts here, but now that he's been transferred, the task of sending people to their posts has been handed over to me. I hope this is the first time I've sent you there, and it will also be the last time I've sent anyone there."

What Wang Rucheng originally meant was that the term of office of the municipal party secretary and the mayor is five years. As long as the two of them continue to work, he will either be promoted or transferred within five years.

But when these words reached the ears of He Anxia and Qi Tongwei, they became a curse and stopped them in their tracks.

He Anxia's face turned pale, but he still said politely: "Thank you for your good wishes."

Wang Rucheng also reacted and hurriedly explained. He Anxia just waved his hand to indicate that he understood, then closed his eyes.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward and the car fell into silence.

After a moment, Wang Rucheng wanted to break the deadlock and restarted the topic: "Secretary He, Mayor Qi, you are both capable and capable generals. I wonder if you have any ideas for this trip."

He Anxia opened his eyes and said perfunctorily, "I have some clues, but we'll have to wait until I take office to find out the details. First, let's follow the instructions of the Libang Governor. I hope the workers can give our new team some time."

Wang Rucheng nodded, "Yes, the immediate difficulties are more important."

The journey was still long, so the few of them just chatted casually.

During this time, Qi Tongwei did not forget to use a skill on the opponent.

"【Check】

[Purple] Wang Rucheng, friend level: 1

Sign-in probability: 10%

Background: Current Executive Vice Governor, Zhao Anbang.

Just as a few people were chatting, the car was about to drive out of Wenshan City and was at the dividing line.

The car suddenly came to a slow stop and a loud noise came into the car, ending the conversation of the three people.

"Pay back the money! Pay back the money! Pay back the money!"

Wang Rucheng frowned, turned to the driver and asked, "Old Han, what's going on?"

The driver replied: "Minister, some people are blocking the road."

Wang Rucheng immediately stood up to check, He Anxia and Qi Tongwei sat in their seats without moving.

Officialdom's code of conduct is to stay out of other people's business, especially when it is not within their jurisdiction.

Wang Rucheng looked through the car window and saw dozens of workers surrounding the bus, with a few simple wooden barricades placed in front of the bus. Fortunately, the workers did not do anything else and just kept shouting for the money to be returned!

Wang Rucheng cursed angrily, "What the hell is this Tian Fengyi doing!"

Wang Rucheng didn't dare to get off the car, so he took out his cell phone and called Tian Fengyi, but he hung up soon because he caught a glimpse of Tian Fengyi in the crowd, who was calmly drinking tea with a cup in his hand.

Wang Rucheng got angry, asked the driver to open the door, and ran down to question him in two steps.

"Tian Fengyi, what the hell are you doing!"

Tian Fengyi seemed to have just noticed Wang Rucheng. He tossed the water cup to his secretary and came forward. "Oh, Minister Wang, why are you here?" He patted his head and said, "Look, I forgot. Deputy Minister Hao has resigned. Naturally, the task of seeing him off to his new post falls on you."

Wang Rucheng noticed something was wrong, "Hey, no, how did you know I would come to see someone off today?"

"Hey, I don't know, but these workers do. I don't know how they got the news that a leader would take office today, but they came here to set up a roadblock. I got the news and rushed over immediately. I was just about to notify the higher-ups when you showed up."

Wang Rucheng thought to himself that this was not good and waved his hands, "Alright, alright, alright, if there's nothing else, just get them to leave. It would be embarrassing if the new comrades saw them blocking the road."

Tian Fengyi said, "I'm afraid that's not possible. You know the reason. I can't persuade them. How about... Minister Wang, can you try to persuade them?"

How could Wang Rucheng be fooled by the other party? "Tian Fengyi, don't be unreasonable. If there is anything, wait until the two comrades take office and then you can discuss it yourself instead of doing these banditry."

Tian Fengyi said, "How can you say that, Minister Wang? These are our great working class people, how can they be called bandits? If you said that a dozen years ago, you would have been dragged out and criticized."

As if to echo Tian Fengyi's words, the workers sang the workers' song, "We are the working class, the main force of the labor front..."

The sound was so powerful that Wang Rucheng's face turned pale.

Wang Rucheng froze for a moment, his momentum weakening. "My dear Mayor Tian, ​​how about this? Let the two comrades go first, and we can arrange a time to discuss this matter later. They've just taken office, and if the provincial party committee knew you were doing this, it would be hard for you, Mayor Tian, ​​wouldn't it?"

Tian Fengyi had the upper hand, but he still refused to give in. "Minister Wang, I told you, these workers don't listen to me.

Besides, you also know that our Wenshan City is in a very difficult situation now. Many factories are making losses. Only a few coal mines are still making profits, but they are very meager and limited. Even the wages of ordinary workers can only be paid half.

The mine told them that as long as Hangang paid the overdue coal money, their wages would be paid.

So when the workers heard that a new leader would be coming to Beishan City today, they wanted to ask when Hangang would settle the coal money they owed them. As the mayor, it is difficult for me to refute the workers' normal demands.

How about this? If you're embarrassed, let me go up and greet these two new comrades, and by the way, talk about this matter, and we can discuss it all together."

Wang Rucheng really admired this tough guy and was not afraid that Secretary Pei of the Provincial Party Committee would skin him alive. But he also knew that this guy was not afraid at all, because no matter what he did, he would always have a reason, like a slippery loach, making it difficult for people to start with him.

Wang Rucheng was at his wit's end. "I have to communicate with them first," he said.

Tian Fengyi bowed slightly, smiling, "Thank you for your help, Minister Wang. Then... I'll wait for your news."
