Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 443 Weakening Gao Yuliang's Power

Although the dam breach issue had been resolved, Jin Changguo refused to give up. He found Qi Bin again early in the morning and made trouble again, demanding to report to his superiors and hold Qi Tongwei accountable.

"This incident has had a terrible impact. So many people have died. Not only has it been seen by the central leadership, but also by so many media outlets and journalists. Haizhou has been completely disgraced. I suggest that the comrades involved must be severely punished!"

Qi Bin didn't want the other party to continue making trouble, so he pretended not to understand and said, "It was just an accident, a natural disaster! There's no need to make a big deal out of it. Besides, there are always casualties in floods. And if you want to hold someone responsible, who should you hold responsible? The commander-in-chief who was specifically responsible for the riverbank died. Do we still want to hold someone who died responsible?"

As for the impact, I think there is some, but it is not very big. Especially in this disaster, our cadres have also demonstrated their courage to take responsibility, and many good people and good deeds have emerged. Our propaganda can be more positive, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

We should honor Comrade Wu An, not criticize him!"

Jin Changguo was startled. "Secretary Qi, you know that's not what I meant."

"What does that mean? We are in the political arena, so we must remember to forgive others when we can. As squad leaders, we must have the awareness of being squad leaders. Sometimes we must protect our comrades. If it were you, I would protect you as well."

As soon as these words came out, Jin Changguo stopped talking immediately.

Yes, if it weren’t for Qi Bin, he would have gone down long ago. He had to give this face, and he must give it.

But if I let the other person off so easily, who would let myself off?

As long as Gao Yuliang continues his investigation into Guo Xiaopeng, he will be carrying a bomb on his back. Once this bomb explodes, it will definitely blow him to pieces.

Qi Bin didn't understand the twists and turns inside, and seeing that the other party was still stunned, he continued, "Also, Comrade Changguo, have you ever thought that this is your only term, and it doesn't matter if you withdraw.

But he is still young and has a long way to go. Can you really nail him down with this non-issue of yours?

As long as he's still breathing, with his abilities, he might one day reach an incredible position. Even if you're not afraid, you should at least consider your children and subordinates."

Jin Changguo smiled bitterly in his heart. His children were not worried. He was now a naked official, so he had a little courage to die together with his family. Of course, it was only a little bit. If he could live, who would choose to die?

"Alright, let's end this. Commissioner Zhong has several more inspections coming up these days, so focus on other things and do your job well. If we continue like this, we'll bring shame upon the Provincial Party Committee and Governor Zhao. Don't expect anyone to have an easy time. Even if we have to retire, we have to do it with dignity. Otherwise, not only the Provincial Party Committee, but even the comrades in the Municipal Party Committee will have objections."

Jin Changguo was stunned again. Qi Bin's last sentence was full of warning. If he continued, it was likely that the squad leader would take action.

After thinking about it carefully, he understood.

People know clearly who is more important, him or Qi Tongwei.

He is just using himself as a tool to balance Gao Yuliang and Qi Tongwei. This person can be him or someone else.

But a capable person who can manage the economy and has resources is irreplaceable.

His career has reached its end, but Secretary Renqi has not. He still has the opportunity to move up to the next level. Whoever cuts off his opportunity will become his enemy.

"Okay, Secretary Qi, since you said so, let's end this matter here."

"That's right. We should give young people more opportunities. This is also a chance for ourselves."

"Yes, Secretary Qi, you are right." Jin Changguo paused and said, "By the way, Secretary Qi, I have something to report to you about government reform."

Upon hearing this, Qi Bin put down the teacup he had just picked up and said, "Okay, tell me."

"Secretary Qi, I don't know if you've read the People's Daily recently. It says that many places in South Guangdong have already implemented the decision to appoint police chiefs to their leadership teams, such as Yangcheng and Haizhu, important cities in South Guangdong, and have achieved very good results.

Our Haizhou has always been emulating some important cities in South Guangdong, so I think we can also give it a try.

Moreover, after some research, I found that this decision has indeed played a very positive role in strengthening and improving public security.

First of all, in the public security, procuratorial and judicial systems, the chief prosecutor of the procuratorate is a deputy director, the president of the court is also a deputy director, but the director of the public security bureau is a director. This does not allow for equal communication in daily work, and the public security system is inherently inferior.

Of course, that’s because ours is a special case, because unlike other places, the political and legal secretary holds the position concurrently.

But if the Political and Legal Affairs Secretary holds the position concurrently, the Public Security Bureau will be superior to the other two departments, which will also have a significant impact.

Therefore, my suggestion is that the political and legal secretary should no longer hold the concurrent position. It is best to maintain relative independence and only perform coordination and guidance responsibilities. At the same time, the status of the public security department should also be elevated.

Qi Bin understood the other party's implication and realized that they just wanted to strip Gao Yuliang of his power.

Of course, what the other party said is reasonable and well-founded.

Qi Bin nodded and said, "I've also read what you said. I heard that the higher-ups are also studying the feasibility of this, and many veteran comrades still approve of it.

However, it is not yet appropriate for us to promote this change at the moment, starting with the issue of personnel arrangements.

Should Comrade Xiaohua be promoted to deputy mayor, or should one of the deputy mayors hold the position concurrently?

If he is promoted, Comrade Xiaohua's time and achievements as Public Security Bureau Chief will not be enough to convince the public.

At least for now, Lin Xiaoqiang has not been arrested yet, so there is no way to promote him based on this reason alone.

It wouldn't work if other deputy mayors took on the role concurrently. After all, Comrade Xiaohua was appointed by the Provincial Party Committee, so we must first seek the Provincial Party Committee's opinion on this matter."

Jin Changguo said slowly, "Secretary Qi, do you think this will work? The Public Security Bureau is a government-led department after all. Can we try to reform it step by step?

First, we separated the public security department, which was originally directly under the charge of the political and legal secretary, and placed it under the direct charge of the deputy mayor, who in turn was responsible to the political and legal secretary.

Although this seems complicated, this method can build an effective platform for equal communication and dialogue among the public security, procuratorate and courts, avoiding possible problems of poor communication or unequal status among the public security, procuratorate and courts.

Furthermore, such reforms can further clarify the specific functions that the public security organs should assume as government departments, thereby better defining and standardizing the functions of the public security departments and enabling the municipal government to lead and direct them more effectively.

It also lays a solid and reliable foundation for the implementation of subsequent related plans.”

Qi Bin thought about it and found that the method was feasible. Of course, he still considered balance.

Since you have been caught, just offer some benefits in exchange, so that everyone can accept it.

"Okay, let's discuss this matter at the Standing Committee."
