Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 264: A show of force

The car started quickly and headed towards Haizhou City.

Jingzhou is located in the south of Handong Province, four or five hours' drive from Haizhou City. As the Coaster swayed, Qi Tongwei greeted Ji Changming and narrowed his eyes.

Haizhou City is located on the coast of the East China Sea in Handong and is a young city.

Like the small fishing village in Rudong Guangdong Province, it was not prominent and even forgotten before the reform and opening up.

However, the past decade has seen tremendous changes. Reform and opening up have transformed this unknown fishing village into an important coastal city in Handong overnight.

Not only is Handong an important port, but its light industry and tourism are also particularly famous.

The vehicle sped along the flat highway, and after a few hours, everyone could smell the salty sea breeze.

Even Qi Tongwei was awakened by this rare cool breeze. He looked out the window and looked at the unfamiliar city in front of him.

"You're awake." Ji Changming, who was sitting side by side with Qi Tongwei, greeted him warmly.

Qi Tongwei turned his head and smiled at Ji Changming, "Inspector Ji, have you been awake all this time?"

At this time, Ji Changming was the same age as Gao Yuliang, 41 years old.

If Qi Tongwei had not been promoted quickly in recent years, he would have had no chance to interact with people of the same generation as Ji Changming.

Ji Changming raised the case file in his hand and pointed at the others, "Don't dare to sleep. Everyone is trying to understand the details so that we can do our work better."

Qi Tongwei asked quietly, as if he had been caught by the teacher in class: "Boss, didn't you notice me?"

Ji Changming smiled and said, "Your snoring is so loud, it's hard not to attract attention."

Qi Tongwei secretly groaned in his heart, "This is over."

Ji Changming comforted him, "Don't worry, Secretary Gao has already said hello on your behalf. He said you've been under a lot of pressure these days and haven't slept well.

Everyone knows that the place you are going to is the most dangerous, and everyone understands."

Qi Tongwei nodded guiltily in response: "Yes...it is indeed."

It’s really comfortable to have a teacher’s protection.

Ji Changming said a few words, then turned his attention to the case file, taking notes from time to time.

Qi Tongwei asked curiously: "Ji Jian, what problems did you find?"

Ji Changming glanced at Qi Tongwei and told him his findings: "From the information, it seems that the Huang family has woven a huge network, paving the way for money from above and using coercion and inducement from below.

This book tells the story of a case. Rumor has it that even the local garbage recycling is monopolized by the Huang family, or in other words, anything that makes money is basically pocketed by the Huang family.

From big things like mining monopolies to small things like protection fees for street vendors.”

"So, he is the local emperor of Jiangchang County."

"You can say that." Ji Changming added meaningfully, "Comrade Tongwei, your situation is not good."

In response to Ji Changming's suggestion, Qi Tongwei smiled confidently, "They are just a few small thugs. Haizhou will not allow such powerful people to exist."

Ji Changming was stunned and stared at Qi Tongwei, not understanding where the other party's confidence came from.

He would never think that Qi Tongwei was attacking without purpose, nor would he look down on him just because he was young.

Because of the nature of his position, he had already memorized the information of several team members.

Among the six people, Qi Tongwei interested him the most. His life was like the protagonist of a film or TV series, and he had made remarkable achievements in every field.

It seems that no problem can stump him, and there is nothing he can't do as long as he wants to do it.

Ji Changming became interested, leaned over, and asked, "Secretary Qi, do you have any ideas?"

Qi Tongwei smiled mysteriously at Ji Changming and closed his eyes to rest.

This kind of mysterious behavior made Ji Changming feel very uncomfortable. In the end, he suppressed his curiosity and immersed himself in the case again.

He believed in talented people, but he didn't believe he was one; caution was his motto.

Before getting off the highway, the case files were collected by a special person and burned clean on the roadside.

Looking at the raging fire, the expressions on everyone's faces were no longer relaxed.

This cautious behavior reveals the extent of corruption in Haizhou City.

With heavy hearts, everyone continued on their journey.

Another half an hour later, the car finally arrived at the Haizhou Municipal Party Committee compound.

The main leadership team of Haizhou City all lined up to welcome them, led by a fat man with a figure like Maitreya Buddha.

Seeing Qi Tongwei constantly looking at the fat man, Ji Changming introduced him in Qi Tongwei's ear at the right time: "This is Mayor Jin, the head of the municipal government, Jin Guochang. I heard he is an expert in economics."

Qi Tongwei was about to ask how he knew him, but Ji Changming seemed to see through his thoughts and jokingly said, "It's all in the information, you didn't miss it, did you?"

Don’t you know whether you have seen it or not?

Qi Tongwei rolled his eyes at Ji Changming, knowing that he was seeking revenge for his taste for food. He could only curse in his heart: Non-stick pan, old fox.

As usual, after announcing the inauguration of Qi Bin and Gao Yuliang, the Deputy Minister of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department led the team to stay in a designated hotel in Haizhou City for rest.

There was another social dinner in the evening. The next day, Qi Tongwei took office alone under the expedited processing of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department and came to Jiangchang County.

The traffic was smooth along the way, and there was no incident of highway robbery or people shouting for justice as Qi Tongwei had imagined in movies and TV dramas.

It doesn’t seem that bad, Qi Tongwei thought about it.

But soon Qi Tongwei couldn't laugh anymore.

Jiangchang County seemed to have not received any notice from its higher authorities, and no one welcomed the arrival of the new county party secretary.

The entire county party committee compound was silent. Not to mention the welcome ceremony, there were hardly any people in sight.

Qi Tongwei looked at Ma Siqiu, the Executive Deputy Minister of the Organization Department who had escorted him to his new post, and said with a smile, "Minister Ma, it seems the county is very unhappy with my arrival. They've already given me a head start right after I arrived."

Ma Siqiu's face was filled with anger as he cursed, "What's wrong with the leadership team in Jiangchang County? Do they still have any Party principles and discipline?

Comrade Tongwei, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation."

As he spoke, Ma Siqiu took the lead and walked into the county party committee compound, and Qi Tongwei followed with an unchanged expression.

The group soon arrived at the office area of ​​the county’s main leaders.

But there was not a single cadre in the office, not even a staff member, and all the rooms were locked.

The group returned to the security room at the entrance, woke up the slumbering security guard, identified themselves, and asked, "We are from the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department. Where is your County Magistrate, Guo Xiangli?"

Upon hearing the message from the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department, the security guard panicked: "Hello, Leader. County Magistrate Guo has gone to attend Mr. Huang's 64th birthday banquet."

Ma Siqiu shouted, "Doesn't he know that today is the day the new secretary takes office? What about the others?"

Qi Tongwei felt that Minister Ma looked quite upright, but it was a pity that he had to keep the friend points to open the situation, otherwise he would also like to check whether the other party was really so upright.

The staff member who was caught was almost scared to tears and could only explain aggrievedly, "Boss, I... I don't know..."

Qi Tongwei pulled Ma Siqiu and said with a smile, "Minister Ma, forget it, don't make it difficult for them."

Ma Siqiu apologized, "Comrade Tongwei, seeing how things have turned out, how about I have someone arrange for you to rest first, and then announce your inauguration tomorrow."

"Okay." Qi Tongwei nodded. "By the way, Minister Ma, who is this old cadre, Mr. Huang? I just took office. Why don't we take this opportunity to pay him a visit?"

Ma Siqiu felt a little uncomfortable and hesitantly said, "He is the head of the Construction and Security Group of our Jiangchang County Construction Committee. He is considered an old cadre and has a high prestige in Jiangchang County.

You just arrived, so there's no need to rush. I'll arrange for someone to prepare a place for you to stay."

Qi Tongwei didn't argue and agreed to Ma Siqiu's arrangement.
