Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 1072 A Deputy Provincial-Level Official in His Early 3s

"Chairman Qi, you've put me in charge of this restructuring. Don't you realize how long I've been in Beishan?"

It's only been a little over six months, and I still haven't sorted out a whole bunch of things on my plate. And now I'm going to take charge of Hansteel.

Is this appropriate?

I'm afraid that I'll end up failing to manage both ends properly, which would be a betrayal of the trust placed in me by Chairman Qi and the comrades at Hangang."

After Xia Guanglei finished speaking, he pondered his words. Why did he feel like he had heard these words somewhere before?

Oh, right, it was Qi Tongwei's statement at the Standing Committee meeting when he declined.

Now it has been borrowed by myself again.

Qi Jiashan ignored all of that, "Hey, Comrade Guanglei. You volunteered to take on the restructuring of Hansteel, back in the provincial party committee."

Since you're going to take this on, you can't just send some random Tom, Dick, or Harry to get rid of us, can you?

If things go wrong, I'm afraid neither of us will save face.

Xia Guanglei paused for a moment, then tapped his fingertips lightly on the surface of the cup.

The stability of Hangang is a political red line. If something really goes wrong, this second-generation scion who is "showing his potential" will inevitably have a stain on his career.

But I really don't have the confidence to let him take charge of the work.

Xia Guanglei chuckled and said, "Chairman Qi, what do you mean by 'cats and dogs'?"

You need to understand this clearly: Comrade Ma Da is the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Beishan. To some extent, he can represent Beishan…”

Xia Guanglei was interrupted by Qi Jiashan before he could finish speaking.

"Comrade Guanglei, can you please stop spouting these high-sounding principles? Do you think I don't know who Mada is?"

Don't forget what Hansteel does: steelmaking, and steelmaking requires coal.

Because of this coal, I've had quite a bit of dealing with him, and it's no exaggeration to say that this comrade's abilities are extremely limited.

Xia Guanglei had no choice. "Alright, alright, Chairman Qi, since that's the case, how about this: I'll have Comrade Tongwei preside over the reform of your Hansteel?"

Xia Guanglei sighed inwardly; it seemed that he would have to bleed money this time.

Qi Jiashan just found it funny.

What's going on with these two top party and government officials in Beishan?

The restructuring work is being passed around from one person to another. If no one is willing to take it on in the first place, why did they even bother?

Qi Jiashan didn't care about any of that, or who was in charge between the two of them, as long as he wanted Han Steel to be successfully restructured.

After a moment's thought, he said, "It's not impossible. I have great faith in Comrade Tongwei's abilities."

But I heard that your Standing Committee didn't reach a consensus? It seems Comrade Tongwei is unwilling to preside over the restructuring work?

Xia Guanglei gave Qi Jiashan a second look, "Oh, this matter is indeed still somewhat controversial."

The main concern was that Comrade Tongwei was worried that he wouldn't be able to handle all the work at hand.

But don't worry, I will communicate with him as soon as possible and persuade him to change his mind.

Qi Jiashan waved his hand, "Alright, you guys decide this. Anyway, my opinion is either you or Comrade Tongwei, and there can be no change."

……

After seeing Qi Jiashan off, Xia Guanglei wanted to finalize things as soon as possible, so he had no choice but to swallow his pride and call Qi Tongwei.

Qi Tongwei stuck to his old excuse, refusing to do anything no matter what.

Is restructuring Hansteel a simple matter? If not handled properly, it could backfire.

But when Xia Guanglei bluntly stated his conditions, Qi Tongwei hesitated again.

What are Xia Guanglei's conditions?

He said that after the reform is successful, he will find a way to finalize the matter of moving north to Tig within a year.

When he becomes the Party Secretary of the city and a member of the Standing Committee of the provincial Party Committee, Qi Tongwei will naturally become a vice-provincial level official.

The temptation is huge.

A 30-year-old deputy provincial-level official!

It would be hard for Qi Tongwei not to be tempted; this was the position that Director Qi had always dreamed of.

"I need to think about it," Qi Tongwei said after a moment of silence.

Xia Guanglei knew the other party was interested, "No problem, I'll give you three days to think it over."

If you still don't agree after three days, I'll think of another way.

Once the reform is successful, I will recommend to the provincial party committee that you be transferred to another city as the municipal party secretary.

Xia Guanglei's threats were equally blatant.
