Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 1109 Past Events of Ancestral Worship

Hearing Chen Ming's words, Qi Tongwei slowly nodded, which was considered an admission of his statement.

Jingzhou was the place where Zhao Lichun's career began. Now that Zhao Lichun is the governor of the province, he naturally has to do his best to maintain this "calling card" that symbolizes his foundation and face.

The two crossed the zebra crossing and walked slowly to the moat. The evening breeze rippled across the water, and the lights on the bank were reflected in the water, swaying with the waves, adding to the tranquility.

Qi Tongwei's gaze swept across the river, and he suddenly asked, "Chen Ming, when were you transferred to be Governor Zhao's secretary?" He paused, then added casually, "Where is your predecessor, Liu, now?"

Chen Ming replied, "I've been working for Governor Zhao for almost a year now. Secretary Liu has been transferred to Handong Oil and Gas Group as the deputy general manager."

This is no different from the original story.

Handong Oil and Gas Group is a department-level unit, so it was just right for Liu Xinjian to be demoted to a deputy department-level position.

Where is Li Dakang?

"Mayor Dakang has only recently been promoted to mayor of Lincheng City."

Qi Tongwei laughed and said, "It must be so comfortable for you secretaries. As long as you follow the right leader, you can advance much faster than others."

Chen Ming sensed a hint of sarcasm in those words and smiled along, his tone revealing a frank helplessness: "Compared to most people, things have indeed gone smoothly, but who can truly understand the feeling behind it?"

To be honest, ever since I took on the job of secretary, I've been on edge every day and often can't sleep at night.

The pressure is immense, especially with Governor Zhao's boundless energy and meticulous attention to every detail. I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up and will cause trouble for the leadership.

Qi Tongwei nodded in agreement: "A secretary is the leader's right-hand man. He has to know a little about everything, be able to do a little bit of everything, and be able to understand the leader's thoughts and be anxious about what the leader is anxious about."

In this respect, you should learn more from Comrade Dakang.

He's a true all-rounder; despite his usually decisive and efficient manner, he's meticulous and methodical in everything he does.

At this point, Qi Tongwei paused, recalling past events, and said, "The time that left the deepest impression on me was when Governor Zhao went home to pay respects to his ancestors."

Don't let Comrade Dakang's busy office work fool you; he's just as capable when it comes to manual labor.

In just over ten minutes, he and Liangping cleaned up Governor Zhao's ancestral graves spotlessly.

He swung the hoe with more skill than any old farmer could imagine.

Chen Ming was taken aback and subconsciously replied, "Really?" Then his expression tightened slightly, and his tone became somewhat flustered: "Ancestor worship?"

Qi Tongwei glanced at Chen Ming. "What's wrong?"

"Speaking of this ancestral worship, Governor Zhao mentioned it to me last week, saying that he wanted to take some time to go back soon."

My brain didn't even register those details.

You said, if Governor Zhao really asks me to clean up the ancestral graves, I…” He stopped mid-sentence, clearly lacking confidence.

He was born in the provincial capital and had never even seen a hoe before, let alone cleaned his ancestral graves. If he were to break a taboo, he might offend his superiors.

Qi Tongwei said, "It's very simple. You can learn from your senior, Comrade Dakang. He has some skills in this regard."

Chen Ming nodded seriously, "You're right. I'll call him as soon as it's time."

Qi Tongwei was secretly pleased, wondering if Li Dakang would be furious.

He remembered that when Zhao Ruilong asked Comrade Dakang to clean up the ancestral graves at Zhao Lichun's house, the other party's face turned very ugly.

Chen Ming went to ask for advice, not knowing if he would offend the other party.
