Chapter 254 Resignation from Hekou County
Chapter 254 Resignation from Hekou County
"Transfer me to Haizhou City?"
Qi Tongwei was stunned. He was doing very well in Hekou County, so how could he go to other places to crack down on organized crime?
Logically speaking, Qi Tongwei had nothing to be dissatisfied with as he could take a step forward and become the true leader.
However, if I were given another two years to thoroughly develop Hekou County, I might be able to reach the rank of deputy director in one step, and it would be safer.
He Anxia said helplessly: "This is what my old man said, I have tried my best to refuse.
But the old man told you to make your own decision, and asked me to bring you a message."
"What?"
He Anxia cleared his throat twice and said in an old voice, "He said, Comrade Tongwei, now is the time to test your party spirit. Don't let me down."
Qi Tongwei's mouth twitched. Is this asking him to make the decision? This is definitely a threat.
If he didn't know that He Anxia was his ally, he would have suspected that these two father and son were trying to take advantage of him.
"Since your father has said so, what else can I say?" Qi Tongwei said unhappily.
He Anxia's handsome face was a little embarrassed: "Don't worry, my father said that the Provincial Party Committee will not treat you unfairly. The contribution to Hekou County will also be remembered by the province. Besides, the Secretary of the Changjiang County Party Committee is a high-ranking position. As long as you clear the obstacles and endure for two or three years, the position of Deputy Director will be a natural progression."
Qi Tongwei waved his hand, "Alright, alright, it's my fault that my words are not taken seriously. When will the transfer order come?"
"If you agree, I'll reply. It might just be within the next two days."
Qi Tongwei nodded, "Okay."
He Anxia asked: "Do you have anyone to recommend for the position of county magistrate?"
Qi Tongwei thought for a moment and said, "Ding Yuan can take over. He is already the deputy secretary and has been the organization minister for many years. He is a good candidate to take over as the county magistrate.
He Yaohua has done a good job, but he only took over last year, so it would be difficult for him to take over without outstanding achievements."
"Then let's recommend Lao Ding. Since we can't send airborne troops anyway."
The two reached an agreement.
In order to thank his partner Qi Tongwei for leaving him a political legacy, He Anxia held a special meeting to discuss the matter. Someone proposed to hold a farewell party for Qi Tongwei at the Longteng Hotel, which was unanimously agreed.
The banquet was held in the Qingyun Hall of Longteng Hotel, with 30 tables. The attendees were all the main members of the party and government teams.
Although Qi Tongwei was slightly unhappy about such extravagance and waste, he did not spoil the fun.
I am about to leave, so why should I worry about where the county’s money is spent? I just hope that the investment I have attracted will not be squandered too quickly.
Besides, He Anxia had good intentions. If he acted pretentiously, people might call him a hypocrite.
When the members of the county party committee standing committee entered the venue, nearly three hundred people burst into warm applause.
As the protagonist, Qi Tongwei was pushed onto the stage by He Anxia and the Standing Committee to deliver a speech.
Qi Tongwei had no choice but to take the microphone. The applause was still as warm as ever, and everyone was clapping with a sincere look on their faces. Qi Tongwei could even see the fat on He Yaohua's cheeks shaking with excitement.
Qi Tongwei stretched out his hand and pressed down, and the applause gradually stopped.
Qi Tongwei thought for a moment and then said, "I have made many public speeches in the past two years since I came to Hekou County, but today I am leaving my post, and I just want to speak my mind.
We are officials, and I don't care whether you are doing this for promotion or for making money.
I just hope that while you are getting promoted and making money, you will not forget the oath you took when you joined the Party and do a little bit of practical work for the people.
That’s all I have to say. I hope you will all be encouraged. Thank you all.”
Thunderous applause rang out again, and many people secretly wiped away their tears.
In the two years since Qi Tongwei took office, he promoted many capable cadres.
For them, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet such a leader who gets things done. They don’t need to build connections or take sides, they just need to work hard.
How happy it is to be loved by the people, to be seen by the leaders, and to be rewarded.
Today the leader is leaving. They sincerely want to see him off, but they are also a little worried about their own future.
He Anxia came up to the stage with a glass of wine, took the microphone, and said with tears in his eyes: "Comrade Tongwei is unwilling to take credit, then as the squad leader, I cannot help but remember Comrade Tongwei's contribution.
He is the comrade with the purest party spirit I have ever met, and he has done a lot for our Hekou County.
When Hekou County was in the most difficult times, he took on responsibilities, solicited investments, and discussed projects.
Despite the previous era's corrupt atmosphere, he continued to forge ahead and seek a way out for the people.
Innovate and build roads, seek businesses and build factories.
He is worthy of the Party and the people.
Today, he is being transferred, and I feel extremely reluctant to let him go.
But we would like to sincerely bless him here, hope that he will have a smooth journey in the future, and hope that one day he can come back to our county often to inspect and guide us.
In addition, I would like to state here that no matter which comrade takes over Comrade Tongwei's position in the future, I hope he will uphold Comrade Qi Tongwei's political ideas.
Put the people at heart and do practical and good things for them!"
Qi Tongwei pretended to be excited, but he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He was indeed the son of an official. This trick of winning people's hearts was really touching.
If it were someone else, they would probably bow down and serve you like a slave.
Next, people kept coming up to tell stories about Qi Tongwei.
First up was Lv Qingshan, who expressed his feelings about being with Qi Tongwei: "Right after I graduated, I was fortunate enough to be chosen by County Magistrate Qi to study with him.
In the leader, I truly saw the responsibility and commitment that a Red Star Party member should have! He always puts the interests of the people first, selflessly dedicates himself, and forges ahead courageously.
This spirit deeply inspired me and made me full of confidence and respect for the Party's cause.
At the same time, it also inspires me to continuously improve my abilities and qualities so as to better serve the people and make greater contributions to society…”
After Lü Qingshan stepped down, several other officials rushed forward, recounting how Qi Tongwei had led them into the villages below to investigate the people's conditions, staying there for four or five days without any special accommodations or food. Others from the Merchants' Bureau recounted Qi Tongwei's personal charisma, how they'd learned how to attract investment, and so on.
Qi Tongwei glanced at He Anxia, who smiled slightly. He then understood that this was another program arranged by the other party.
The two smiled at each other and clinked their glasses.
Regardless of whether the other party is sincere or trying to win him over, overall, Qi Tongwei feels that partnering with the other party is the most comfortable year in the officialdom.
Just as he put down his wine glass, He Yaohua came around from the opposite side of Qi Tongwei with his wine glass in hand. Qi Tongwei did not hesitate and stood up as well.
He Yaohua's eyes filled with tears as he choked up and said, "Leader, I have to thank you. If you hadn't come, my life would have been..."
Halfway through his words, He Yaohua was choked with sobs and couldn't continue. Who could understand the grievances he had suffered over the years, and who could understand his gratitude today?
Just yesterday, Qi Tongwei told him heartfeltly that he wanted him to take over his position.
Unfortunately, it was too difficult for him to advance to the next level in just one year. After all, he was not like Qi Tongwei, who had made outstanding achievements. If he had waited another two years, it would have been no problem.
Qi Tongwei told him not to have any mental burden and to wait patiently for a few years, and there would be a chance.
He Yaohua felt both grateful and sad.
I am grateful for Qi Tongwei's appreciation of me, but I also sigh that I cannot continue to follow such a good leader.
Qi Tongwei patted the other person on the shoulder, raised his glass and clinked it with the other person, and both of them drank it in one gulp.
Before leaving, He Yaohua added, "Leader, I have to thank you. I must thank you."
Qi Tongwei was confused and had not yet figured out what He Yaohua meant when another member of the Standing Committee started to toast.
As the members of the Standing Committee toasted one by one, the atmosphere reached a climax, and subordinates from various bureaus and party committees took turns to toast Qi Tongwei.
There were hundreds of people, even if they came in groups of three or five, Qi Tongwei couldn't handle it.
There are few people in the officialdom who cannot drink, and even someone as strong as Qi Tongwei would soon become drunk.
Seeing this, the others began to attack the Standing Committee members. He Anxia took advantage of the fact that he was still conscious and arranged for someone to help Qi Tongwei go upstairs in the hotel to rest. He Yaohua took the initiative to step forward to accept this task.
He Anxia had no suspicion and waved his hand to let He Yaohua make the arrangements.
He Yaohua waved away the secretary who wanted to help, carried Qi Tongwei out of the lobby by himself, took the elevator, and went to the housekeeping department.
He Yaohua went all the way to the ninth floor and made sure that there was no one in the corridor. He knocked on a room and waited for a few seconds. The door opened. In the warm light, a young woman reached out and supported Qi Tongwei.
The two of them worked together to put Qi Tongwei on the bed. He Yaohua looked at the woman's delicate face and said, "I'll leave this to you. Take good care of him. I'll solve those things for you tomorrow."
Then he added meaningfully, "If you are lucky enough to gain the favor of this person, you will truly be free from your hardship."
The woman bit her lips tightly, her eyes slightly red, and nodded slightly after listening to He Yaohua's instructions.
He Yaohua nodded in satisfaction, closed the door carefully and left.
The room suddenly fell silent.
The woman looked at the handsome Qi Tongwei, struggled for a while beside the bed, her cheeks gradually turned red, and her hand slowly touched the wall lamp switch on the bedside.
Following a crisp mechanical sound, Qi Tongwei, who had an amazing physique, seemed to see a figure swaying in front of him.
The faint fragrance of the woman at the tip of my nose is particularly charming.
It was just that the alcohol made him unable to tell whether he was in reality or in a dream.
As the astonishing touch came over him, Qi Tongwei slowly began to react...
