Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 417: I don’t even know I’ve raised a ghost

Qi Tongwei was about to visit the local elders when he suddenly stopped and asked, "By the way, where is the head of Wayi Township, Guo Lei?"

Kong Yiji replied, "Village Chief Guo is holding a meeting with the villagers at the village office."

Qi Tongwei asked again: "Kong Changling has a good relationship with you, right?"

"It's... fortunately, he is also in the village office now."

Qi Tongwei nodded and said nothing more.

The Guocun village office is not far from the characteristic garden, only about seven or eight minutes away. Halfway through the walk, Kong Changling rushed over from the village office to greet him, and Qi Tongwei took the opportunity to use a skill to check.

[Green] Kong Changling, Friendship: 1

Check-in progress: 10%

Background: Kong Yiji, the county magistrate of Jiangchang County.

Just as he expected, Qi Tongwei shook hands with the other party and said nothing more.

Not long after, the group arrived at the village office, where a spacious and bright village office building came into view. This was also built at the same time as the last special garden was built, and was funded by the county government, which shows its preferential status.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Qi Tongwei heard a loud voice standing on the steps of the village office comforting the villagers.

The umbrellas and raincoats below were swarming, blocking the way of Qi Tongwei and others.

"When encountering problems, we must handle them calmly and not act impulsively. If you feel your demands have not been properly addressed, you can report the situation through proper channels.

For example, you can first submit your opinions and suggestions to our local township government. If the township government is unable to handle it properly, you can continue to report it to the higher authorities, that is, the county government.

Of course, if even the county government cannot meet everyone’s demands, don’t be discouraged. Don’t we still have Mayor Lu in our city?

I believe that as long as we express our demands through formal channels and in accordance with the law, the government will take them seriously and provide fair and just solutions. So, please remain rational and refrain from any more extreme actions."

This made Qi Tongwei furious. How could he be so appeased like this? What was he doing? Implying that the county party committee and government were inaction?

Kong Yiji's face looked ugly. Wasn't this just trying to seduce himself?

Kong Changling was secretly happy in his heart, thinking that you were asking for death.

[Green] Guo Lei, Status: Opposition

Sign-in probability: 0

Background: Lu Min, deputy mayor of Haizhou City.

Good man, Kong Changling was right. No, this guy is a time bomb if he stays in Wayi Township.

Qi Tongwei sarcastically said to Kong Yiji: "This comrade is very good at appeasing people."

You don’t even know there’s a ghost in your house, no wonder there’s never any peace in your home.

Kong Yiji wiped his sweat and gritted his teeth as he said, "Secretary Qi, it's my fault. I won't explain. This comrade used to follow Guo Xiangli.

Someone told me before that he was a very loyal person and had always been obsessed with the corrupt official Guo Xiangli. He even presided over Guo Xiangli's funeral in person.

I thought he was a man of integrity and I trusted him completely, but I didn't expect him to be two-faced."

Qi Tongwei sneered, "They're not wrong. If the lower levels can't solve the problem, there's always higher-ups. I think this comrade is underemployed in Wayi Township. He should be assigned a more important position."

"Ah?" Kong Yiji was stunned for a moment.

"I think he's a good hand at solving people's problems. It just so happens that I've been thinking recently about responding to the city's call to set up a petition office. I think he's the best person to be the director of this county petition office."

Kong Yiji immediately smiled happily, "Yes, yes, I also think he is very suitable. I will definitely vote for him when the time comes."

Petition offices have been set up in many places recently. They seem important, but in fact they just solve problems at the grassroots level and are a tedious job.

The amount of power in the position depends on the attitude of the county leaders. If the county attaches importance to it, there will be some power. Otherwise, it will be equal to zero. Not only will you need to bear the responsibility of maintaining stability, but you will also get no benefits.

At this time, Guo Lei continued to dance excitedly and said, "This Mayor Lu, everyone should be familiar with him. He came to our place for an inspection some time ago. He said...said..."

"What did you say?" Qi Tongwei walked in with a dark face, pushing through the crowd. He didn't dare let the other party continue speaking. What if these people ran to the city to complain, he would be embarrassed.

"Qi... Secretary Qi, why are you here?" Guo Lei was really a little jealous of Secretary Qi. Even Mayor Lu was afraid of this guy.

"Such a big thing happened in Wayi Township. I have to come. If I don't come, I'm afraid people will say that our county party committee and government are not doing anything."

Kong Yiji said unhappily, "Comrade Guo Lei, Mayor Renlu is very busy, coordinating the city's agriculture and tourism work. You are causing trouble for others." Then he stood on the stairs and said to the villagers below, "Everyone, don't bother the city. If there is anything that the township party committee cannot solve, you can go to the county party committee and county government. Our Secretary Qi will definitely handle it impartially for you.

In addition, I have good news for everyone. To address this issue, the county has decided to establish a petition office specifically to handle petitions. If you encounter problems that you cannot communicate with the township, you can directly contact the petition office and resolve them through formal channels."

When the villagers heard this, they were immediately happy. This was another victory for their revolution.

Kong Yiji continued to speak on the stage to promote the Letters and Calls Office, while Qi Tongwei walked into the lobby.

As soon as he arrived, he saw Old Master Guo sitting in the lobby. This matter seemed to be complicated and it was definitely not something that Guo Lei could instigate. He just didn't know what role Old Master Guo played in it.

As soon as we entered the lobby, we saw not only Old Master Guo but also the patriarch of Kong Village. Behind them stood a middle-aged fat woman, and two young men were serving them.

"Grandpa Guo, Grandpa Kong, are you in good health?" Qi Tongwei took the initiative to step forward and shook hands with the two men, saying kindly.

"Secretary Qi, why are you here?" Mr. Guo smiled.

"How can you not come? Such a big thing happened in our village. The county chose to build this special park, and your Guojia Village was the first choice. Why are you still not satisfied?" Qi Tongwei got straight to the point as soon as he sat down.

"Hey, isn't it because of all the recent events? Everyone's feeling queasy." Old Master Guo sighed and started to argue. "Look, right after this specialty garden opened, Xiang Li died. He was killed by a hail of bullets, leaving behind this orphan and a widow."

As he said this, he looked at the young man and middle-aged woman beside him, and his meaning was obvious.

Qi Tongwei nodded.

Seeing Qi Tongwei didn't react, Old Master Guo continued, "Xiang Li had just been buried when the rain came, and it was continuous rain, and on top of that, the garden was half dead.

Some people said that my grandson died unjustly. They say it snows in June, which is almost the same as it rains heavily in June.

Qi Tongwei was at a loss for words. "Mr. Guo, how can you say that? You've also seen the video of Comrade Xiang Li confessing his guilt. How could there be any injustice?"

"But someone told me that he was taking the blame for someone else, and we had to take the blame. Everyone started to make a fuss when they heard that. Xiang Li's wife and son also begged us to give him justice. We, old bones, had no choice but to step forward again.

I originally wanted to come to you, but the villagers were so angry that I didn't notice it for a moment and... I ruined such a good specialty garden like this.

Secretary Qi, this is all my fault, it's all my fault."
