Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 607 Qu Zhengping

Qi Tongwei's words made Zhu Hongwen a little worried, so he had to pin his hopes on Lin Gangjian. As soon as he returned to the office, Zhu Hongwen called Lin Gangjian and told him about Qi Tongwei's attitude.

Lin Gangjian was also troubled, and his concerns were the same as Zhu Hongwen's.

Hu Youde has a powerful backer behind him and is used to being arrogant and domineering in the city. In the entire Beishan City, no one is afraid of him except the deputy secretary.

Especially in recent years, several city leaders have become close friends with him, which has further encouraged his arrogance.

It took a lot of effort to ask him to make a public apology. Now he is holding a city-wide party and government conference to review the matter. This is a huge blow to his reputation. If Qi Tongwei criticizes him again at the party and government conference, there might be a commotion, and that would be a big problem.

Hu Youde has a strong background, and He Anxia and Qi Tongwei's backgrounds should not be underestimated. The Dragon Crossing the River is a tough guy, and the situation will probably be very ugly at that time.

Lin Gangjian was silent for a long time before he said, "Okay, I'll take care of it."

What else could Lin Gangjian do? Of course, just like the Monkey King in Journey to the West asking for help, he would ask whoever had the spirit beast to subdue it. Thinking of this, he decided to get the phone number of the provincial capital.

Just as I was about to pick up the phone, it rang.

As soon as he picked up the phone, it was He Anxia calling, informing him that a secretaries' meeting would be held at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning to discuss the issue of Hu Youde.

Lin Gangjian was stunned at first, not understanding what He Anxia meant by discussing Hu Youde's issue.

Aren't the three of them all in agreement? What else is there to discuss?

He Anxia said they were discussing how to deal with Hu Youde.

Qi Tongwei and He Anxia already knew that the other party was pulling strings, so they deliberately chose to call shortly after talking with Zhu Hongwen, with the intention of confusing the other party and also to warn Zhu Hongwen.

Zhu Hongwen was a bit indecisive. He reached an agreement with Lin Gangjian without Qi Tongwei's approval, which made Qi Tongwei very dissatisfied.

Can such an agreement be reached casually? Hu Youde not only slapped Zhu Hongwen in the face, but also slapped Qi Tongwei and He Anxia in the face.

Everyone knows that He Anxia and Qi Tongwei are behind the rotation system and support it. If we give in now, will they have to compromise every time there is trouble in the future?

Since the prestige of both of them was at stake, Qi Tongwei deliberately did this to confuse Lin Gangjian.

As for whether Hu Youde can be captured, it depends on the situation and whether the value of this chicken can be reflected.

Sure enough, Lin Gangjian was stunned when he heard this. Zhu Hongwen had just called him and said that Qi Tongwei demanded a public apology. How come it has now become a matter of dealing with it?

He Anxia said: "Comrade Tongwei's point is that severe punishment is necessary. Just an apology is not enough. Even if he is not expelled from the party, he must be removed from his public office."

Lin Gangjian listened, his mind racing, wondering whether Zhu Hongwen was deliberately playing tricks on him, or whether Qi Tongwei was playing tricks on Zhu Hongwen?

Lin Gangjian was more inclined to the latter. He knew Zhu Hongwen and knew that the other party did not have the courage to fool him, especially since he had caught him by the tail.

Moreover, there is no need to lie about such things, otherwise, everything would be exposed once several secretaries met. However, this possibility cannot be ruled out. Zhu Hongwen is a man of courage, but he just hides it very well.

If Qi Tongwei deliberately played tricks on Zhu Hongwen, it would be like killing the chicken to scare the monkey.

As for why Zhu Hongwen was also involved, it was very simple. Qi Tongwei had such a domineering personality that he would not pay any attention to Zhu Hongwen's opinions at all.

Even his and the municipal party secretary He Anxia's opinions are useless, so how can they care about the ideas of a deputy mayor?

Lin Gangjian pondered for a moment and said, "Comrade Anxia, ​​isn't it too much to expel him from the party and remove him from public office just because of an insult?

Even from a legal perspective, it doesn't constitute a crime. I think giving a warning is already a very severe punishment. In my opinion, a conversation is enough."

He Anxia said, "Of course not. If this were the only issue, Comrade Tong Wei would definitely not make such a decision. To be honest, Comrade Hu Youde has more problems than just this. I can't tell you the specifics over the phone, but you'll understand at the secretary's meeting tomorrow."

He Anxia stopped talking and hung up the phone.

Lin Gangjian looked at the busy phone and thought about the other questions He Anxia had asked.

There is only one problem that will always arise for officials in politics, and that is corruption!

There are many types of corruption, the most common of which is embezzlement and bribery.

Beishan City has reached its current stage not only because of the transition to a market economy, but also because of corruption, which is a very important factor.

They used all kinds of tactics to destroy this important industrial city in China, leaving it badly damaged and unable to recover.

He asked himself if he had done anything, but he couldn't guarantee that others, or even any other cadre in Beishan, hadn't done anything like him.

To use a sarcastic remark from the people: If all the cadres in Beishan City were beheaded, there might be one or two innocent people, but if only half of them were beheaded, there would definitely not be any innocent people.

As for Hu Youde, there is no need to say more. When he first came, he weighed 140 kilograms, and now he weighs more than 200 kilograms, which already explains a lot of problems.

Things have developed to this point and it is no longer something Lin Gangjian can solve. He doesn't know what weakness Qi Tongwei has found in Hu Youde, and he has no way to deal with it in advance. He only hopes that the young mayor can take a long-term view.

Fortunately, it was just a secretary's meeting, so there is still room for maneuver. However, I am not sure what the other party's purpose is?

What if there's no exchange of opinions? Will he go to the Standing Committee again? Judging from the current situation, his chances of winning at the Standing Committee are practically zero.

His retirement is a foregone conclusion, and the secretary and mayor are both young people. It is clear that they want to focus on Beishan. Unless the other members of the Standing Committee are fools, they will not support him.

He put down the phone again, dialed the number, and asked for the call to be transferred to the provincial capital, but the meaning this time was different from before.

The person who answered the phone was a deputy governor named Qu Zhengping, who was in charge of agriculture.

In the past few years, agriculture was an important job, and the deputy in charge of agriculture was generally ranked higher. It has declined in recent years, but he can still be regarded as an important deputy governor.

Especially for an industrial city, grain production cannot meet daily needs at all and needs to be allocated by the province. The deputy governor in charge of agriculture has an even heavier responsibility.

Because the deputy governor in charge of agriculture is generally also responsible for contacting the Material Management and Reserve Bureau, China National Grain and Oils Corporation, the Poverty Alleviation Office, and other duties.

Hu Youde was the driver of Vice Governor Qu, and he rose through the ranks to become the director of the Grain Bureau.

Of course, that's all he did. Hu Youde's personality wasn't suited to officialdom at all. Otherwise, relying on his background, he wouldn't have been able to serve as the director of the Grain Bureau in the increasingly declining Beishan City.
