Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 990 Tactics and Methods

Qi Tongwei said something inexplicably: "I think the provincial level is more likely."

Yu Huabei glanced at Qi Tongwei, picked up his teacup and took a sip, "Tell me about it."

"Well, maybe it's just intuition," Qi Tongwei chuckled.

He dared not reveal the truth. Yu Huabei was a master of political maneuvering. If he dared to reveal even a little bit, he believed that the other party would immediately guess what role he was playing.

Ultimately, he wasn't exactly honorable either.

"Intuition?" Yu Huabei smiled and shook his head. "Tongwei, you must remember that in the political arena, let alone intuition, even what you see may not be true."

We must have concrete clues, and then unravel the mystery step by step.

Otherwise, if you go in the wrong direction, you can easily find yourself in a passive position.

Then he offered some pointers:

"However, since you've brought up intuition, let's analyze it."

Well, let's start with the provincial party committee and analyze the standing committee members.

As for Pei and Anbang, they are both high-ranking officials in charge of a region. They still have the principles of party discipline and would not resort to such underhanded tactics, so they can be ruled out.

The two comrades from the Organization Department and the Propaganda Department are new and lack experience. If I were to be demoted, they wouldn't benefit from it, so they are the least suspicious and can be ruled out.

Well, that old secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, he'll be retiring in a little over a year. Normally, no one would want to cause trouble for him.

Let's talk about Commander Yuan of the military region. It's the norm for the military and the government to separate. He wouldn't even stand in the company, let alone actively cause trouble for anyone.

Therefore, these two can also be ruled out.

As for the newly appointed secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, Liu Huatao, well, his words…

Yu Huabei hesitated for a long time, but did not continue speaking.

Qi Tongwei was listening intently when he saw the other person stop talking. He looked up at the other person and saw that Yu Huabei was frowning and thinking about something. His heart skipped a beat.

"Secretary Yu, you...you don't doubt him, do you?"

Yu Huabei nodded absentmindedly, "Yes, I've thought about it, and he's quite suspicious."

He came from above and had served in a vice-ministerial position for many years. He was senior and had the support of those above him.

"If I go down, he'll have a huge advantage."

Qi Tongwei was taken aback. To be honest, if this person were located in North China, he would indeed be the most suspicious.

The other party is not only senior, but also controls the provincial discipline inspection commission.

Isn't this a point of contradiction?

It should be noted that Yu Huabei served as the Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection from the position of Secretary of the Wenshan Municipal Party Committee, and later as the Deputy Secretary, while still concurrently holding the position of Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

The time span is not short.

If Liu Huatao wants to completely take control of the disciplinary inspection department, he will inevitably have to engage in a power struggle with Yu Huabei's former subordinates.

This game will inevitably involve North China, and it is only natural that North China has this concern.

Qi Tongwei said, "It's not impossible, but I think his foundation isn't very deep after all..."

Yu Huabei smiled coldly and said, "The lack of a solid foundation is just a superficial phenomenon."

Did you know that he has a brother who is the provincial party secretary in our neighboring province?

This is a veteran provincial party secretary; I heard he has a pretty good relationship with our Secretary Pei.

He then pointed to the whistleblower letter, saying, "Besides, these ambiguous things just prove that the other party's foundation is not deep. If it were deep, it would likely be solid evidence."

Qi Tongwei was stunned.

I must say, Yu Huabei's words were truly insightful and irrefutable.

Chaos, chaos, complete chaos! What kind of mess is this?

It's not good to make enemies before finding the real ones.

Qi Tongwei, not wanting to see Yu Huabei's gun fired in the wrong place, quickly said, "Secretary Yu, I don't think so."

He Anxia is, after all, the son of He Jiyun, the secretary of the Handong Provincial Party Committee. Even if he wanted to target you, he shouldn't have done it this way.

Yu Huabei seemed to have already decided on Liu Huatao, saying, "That's his cleverness. He used Ma Da to instigate the conflict between me and Secretary He of Handong, so he could reap the benefits."

"..."

Qi Tongwei felt that what they were saying was getting more and more outrageous.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Yu Huabei looked at Qi Tongwei suspiciously, "Why are you so sure?"

Qi Tongwei avoided eye contact.

"Something's not right with you, kid. Do you know something?"

Now that things had come to this, Qi Tongwei could no longer hide it, so he told Tian Fengyi about falling into the trap and the information his "foreign friend" had gathered.

The enemy was none other than Li Yongbao and Qu Zhengping, the executive vice governor.

They orchestrated all of this, and the whistleblower letter was probably prepared by them as well.

The goal was to destabilize Beishan's favorable situation and bring down Qi Tongwei.

“Li Yongbao? Are you sure?” Yu Huabei’s eyes were filled with a strange look. “Do you know that this Li Yongbao was already detained by the Discipline Inspection Commission a week ago? He has…”

At this point, Yu Huabei suddenly froze, his gaze sharp as he looked at Qi Tongwei.

"Was it you who made the move against Li Yongbao?"

Qi Tongwei coughed twice but did not deny it.

When he revealed the truth, he guessed that Yu Huabei would definitely connect it to everything.

Having worked in the Discipline Inspection Commission for so many years, and even Zhao Anbang had suffered at his hands, how could his little tricks possibly be kept secret?

Yu Huabei was furious: "I said, how could you do such a thing! Huh?"

Qi Tongwei spread his hands, looking aggrieved, and said, "Secretary Yu, they've bullied us so much, we can't just sit here and take the beating without fighting back."

Yu Huabei said, "Did I say we couldn't fight back? You should at least discuss it with me first."

Sending a whistleblower letter? How could you even think of that? If this gets investigated, let me tell you, your future will be ruined! Do you understand?!

Qi Tongwei said, "Secretary Yu, I didn't want to either."

But tell me, what am I supposed to do to deal with such a despicable person?

If it weren't for my friends' help, and with all this talk of a bright future, the whole Mitsuda Fueyoshi thing would have ruined me.

Yu Huabei sighed and said, "I know you feel wronged, but Tongwei, you need to understand your current status and consider your future growth."

Once such a small act becomes known, you will forever lose the opportunity to climb to the top.

As leaders of the Party and the country, being great and upright is the primary condition and an inviolable red line!

To put it bluntly, you can use a fair and square strategy to defeat him. Even if it becomes public knowledge, no one will say anything, and people might even praise you for your skillful tactics and as an excellent politician.

But even if you win using such underhanded methods, it's dishonorable and despicable. People will think you're a petty person who does things by any means necessary, and you're not worthy of respect.

Yu Huabei's words were very heavy.

Qi Tongwei knew he had made a serious mistake, so he stopped explaining and simply lowered his head to take the scolding.

Seeing this, Yu Huabei could no longer curse.

That's how young people are; they're hot-blooded and don't care about so much.

"Have you cleaned your hands and feet properly?" Yu Huabei asked coldly.

Qi Tongwei knew that this Deputy Secretary Yu was deeply concerned about his duties and loved him dearly.

Based on his experience over the past year, he found that the provincial party committee leaders were among the most protective of their own in North China.

Otherwise, people like Tian Fengyi and Ma Da would have been exiled somewhere long ago.

Therefore, Qi Tongwei has always humbly accepted criticism from North China.

Qi Tongwei said, "It was a trustworthy friend who helped me, so it won't implicate me."

"That's hard to say. I've been in charge of the Discipline Inspection Commission for quite some time and have met too many so-called 'trustworthy' friends."

If they get caught, very few won't confess.

You might not know this, but Lao Pei has already arranged for the disciplinary committee to investigate the whistleblower letter. Just to be on the safe side, I suggest you send your friend abroad as soon as possible.

One lie requires a hundred lies to cover it up.

Qi Tongwei couldn't say that his friend was even more stubborn than a suicide squad member, so he could only say that arrangements had already been made.

Yu Huabei, of course, did not believe it and scolded Qi Tongwei again, blaming him for not being careful.

"This is no joke, you need to take it seriously. Now, call your friend right now and tell him to go abroad!"

Having no other choice, Qi Tongwei had to make a phone call in person to reassure Yu Huabei and have his undercover agent leave the Han River and go to Hong Kong Island.
