Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 590 Matchmaker

Qi Tongwei exchanged a glance with Luo Qian in the rearview mirror, feeling somewhat amused and helpless. "No problem, your dad is a wealthy bachelor. I don't know how many people would want to marry him. I just don't know what your dad's requirements are."

Sha Xiaoqian thought for a moment and said, "He's already an old man in his forties. What else can I ask for? Just enough to be considerate."

"That's easy, but I don't think I need to worry about it. I recently heard that a single female reporter is following your father and interviewing him. I'll ask someone to ask her about it when the time comes."

Sha Xiaoqian thanked him, "Thank you for your help, Uncle Qi."

Qi Tongwei said with a smile: "It's not a big deal. Speaking of which, this is my first time as a matchmaker. I think this is a new challenge."

Everyone laughed too.

The car stopped at the Tianzhou government building, and Hong Ping'an, director of the Tianzhou government office, who had been waiting for a long time, came to greet them.

Hong Ping'an stepped forward and shook hands with Qi Tongwei, "Hello, Mayor Qi."

"Hello, Director Hong."

Hong Ping'an apologized, "Mayor Sha is currently reporting to Minister Qin of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department. Secretary Long is at the Municipal Party Committee and cannot be free at the moment. He asked me to express my apologies to you and explain the reasons."

Minister Qin of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department is a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee stationed in Tianzhou, and he came here specially for inspection this time.

Qi Tongwei waved his hand and said, "Lao Sha and I are old friends. There's no need to be so formal."

Hong Pingan smiled apologetically and looked at the girl who got out of the back seat. He said, "I guess this must be Mayor Sha's daughter."

Sha Xiaoqian straightened her posture and showed no sign of stage fright. She extended her hand to Hong Ping'an with ease and grace, "Hello, Director Hong."

Hong Ping'an was stunned and quickly stretched out his hand to shake hands with the other party.

Qi Tongwei smiled and said, "Director Hong, how is it? Doesn't it have some of Comrade Lao Sha's aura?"

Hong Ping'an also smiled and nodded, "As the saying goes, a dragon gives birth to a dragon, so the phoenix gives birth to a phoenix. This is true." He then gestured to the crowd, "Mayor Qi, Madam Qi, Miss Sha, let's go inside and talk."

"it is good."

Under the guidance of Hong Ping'an, several people came to a reception room next to the mayor's office and sat down.

Qi Tongwei stood at the window, looking out at the wide view and said, "Everyone says your Tianzhou situation isn't very good. I think it's much better than our Beishan. The municipal party committee leaders drive Audis, and the party and government buildings are separate. Unlike our Beishan City, several teams are crammed together."

Hong Ping'an served tea to the group and said, "To be honest, Mayor Qi, we used to share a building with the Municipal Party Committee. Just two days after you had a car accident in Tianzhou, Mayor Sha proposed moving here and separating the Party and government offices, citing the disruption to the Municipal Party Committee's operations."

Qi Tongwei nodded, took the tea and took a sip. "Yes, when the party and government leaders are together, everyone only remembers the top leader. Some people can't tell that Xiao Wang is also a king."

Hong Ping'an smiled and didn't dare to respond. The leader could point out such things, but he had no right to speak carelessly, even if he was the leader's confidant.

At this time, Sha Xiaoqian cleared her cough twice, gave Qi Tongwei a look, and opened her mouth slightly. Qi Tongwei was stunned for a moment and understood what she meant.

"Um... Director Hong, I heard that Lao Sha has been followed by a female reporter from the provincial newspaper recently?"

Hong Ping'an nodded. "Yes, that's true. Mayor Sha said he would accept social supervision. Even when he was talking to Secretary Long, he allowed Reporter Ye to take notes."

Qi Tongwei was a little surprised. "It seems that this reporter Ye is quite important. Is he still here?"

"She's not here right now. It seems she went back to the provincial capital today." Hong Ping'an said, "She's related to me. I heard... she's the daughter of an old friend of Secretary Pei."

Qi Tongwei showed an expression of realization.

……

Tianzhou Municipal Party Committee Secretary's Office.

After listening to Long Fuhai and Sha Ruijin's plans for Tianzhou in the next few years, Minister Qin affirmed their ideas. "With Comrade Ruijin as a capable leader and Comrade Fuhai as a veteran commander, I am optimistic about the future of Tianzhou."

Long Fuhai glanced at Sha Ruijin and said with a smile, "This is all thanks to the foresight of the Provincial Party Committee, who put the right people in the right positions. We dare not take credit for it. We also hope that Minister Qin can give us more guidance so that we can do more and make fewer mistakes."

Minister Qin laughed at the flattery and pointed at Long Fuhai, saying, "Okay, Comrade Fuhai, stop talking nonsense. I dare not give you any advice. Secretary Pei of the Provincial Party Committee has made it very clear that I am here to assist you, to act as a propeller, not to be a mother-in-law. Don't expect me to give you any advice. I will only wait and see. If you need any help, come to me. I will ignore everything else."

Long Fuhai remained unmoved and continued to flatter Minister Qin. The latter was modest in words, but the smile on his face showed that he was very happy to be praised. Sha Ruijin could only smile along, feeling very uncomfortable.

Ask him to please others, but he won't. He comes from a military family and was brought up by those tough old soldiers who came from the battlefield. Such things don't exist in his dictionary at all.

Long Fuhai chuckled secretly, an idea forming in his mind. "Comrade Ruijin, we should all learn from Minister Qin. Although he's currently concentrating on organizational work, he's a true all-rounder. He's an expert in local government, state-owned enterprises, public security, procuratorate, and courts. Unlike us, we haven't even figured out this whole thing."

Minister Qin laughed and said, "Good of you, Long Fuhai, you're going to dig up my secrets today. Comrade Ruijin, don't listen to his nonsense. As the saying goes, being good at everything is the same as being good at nothing. Only by specializing in one thing can one be an expert."

Long Fuhai said, "Minister Qin, you're not entirely right. If you say that, then there are no geniuses in this world. Let's not even talk about the distant past, just take Taizu. His literary and military skills are all rare figures in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad."

Minister Qin laughed heartily, "I dare not compare myself with him."

"I think you are not inferior to him in some aspects."

"Hey, you can't say that casually." Minister Qin waved his hands repeatedly.

"I'm not making this up." Long Fuhai gave an example: "Take coal mining and steelmaking, for example. You made a significant contribution to the growth of Hansteel back then. It's not wrong to say you're an expert in this area."

Qin Huaiting looked back at the past and sighed, "Ah, it's all in the past, it's all in the past. Think about how high-spirited Han Gang was back then, and how things have become so unpredictable today."

Long Fuhai said, "The situation at Tianzhou Coal Mine isn't optimistic. Comrade Ruijin reported the situation to me some time ago, but I don't understand it. Since you're an expert in this area, why don't you give some guidance to the young people?"

Hearing about the coal mine, Qin Huaiting straightened up with great interest, "Really, Comrade Ruijin, tell me about it."

Sha Ruijin had no idea there was something fishy going on, so he started talking about Tianzhou Coal Mine. He looked at the mine's development over the years, the internal corruption, the old facilities, and even some of its rules and regulations, which were criticized as outdated.
