Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 185 Lin Manjiang's Little Thoughts

The sun slowly sets over the mountains, dyeing the sky orange and red.

The afterglow shines through the gaps between the mountains and falls on the earth, forming mottled light and shadows.

The heat of the day gradually turned into a bit of coolness.

Wang Zi packed up the documents, walked out of the office, locked it, and the mayor's office next to her opened at the same time.

"Comrade Wang Zi, it's time to get off work." Lin Manjiang took the initiative to greet him.

"Yes, Mayor Lin." Wang Zi smiled slightly.

Lin Manjiang smiled and said, "Hey, it's time to get off work. There's no distinction between superior and subordinate. Just call me Manjiang."

"This is not good."

"We are all the same age, young people, we should be less conservative."

Lin Manjiang's appearance is just as good as Qi Tongwei's. He wears a well-ironed suit, and his speech and manners make him look more like a nobleman than Qi Tongwei.

"Then I'll call you Comrade Manjiang." Wang Zi did not refuse again.

"That's fine. He's more friendly than Mayor Lin." Lin Manjiang nodded and curled his lips.

"Comrade Wang Zi, we have known each other for such a long time, but I still don't know where you are from?"

"I'm from Lincheng."

"Lin Cheng, working here is quite far away from home. Thank you for your hard work."

Wang Zi smiled and didn't answer. She always felt that the other party was trying to get close to her deliberately.

The purpose is obvious, which is to gain the support of himself as the nominal deputy and member of the Party Committee.

Essentially speaking, Wang Zi’s roots in Yantai County are from the secretary faction.

After Wu Chunlin took office, he took over Xiao Jianhua's faction, and he, Qi Tongwei and Lin Manjiang all belonged to the secretary's faction.

But if he turned his attention back to Guying Town, he and Lin Manjiang could not be considered to be the same kind of people.

But on the surface, as Wu Chunlin's confidant, Lin Manjiang received more support than Qi Tongwei.

However, we cannot just think in this way. Wu Chunlin wants to maintain his position in the county, so he naturally does not dare to suppress Qi Tongwei.

Even between his own confidants and Qi Tongwei, he had to take Qi Tongwei's feelings into consideration.

Therefore, there is not much benefit in betraying Qi Tongwei and joining Lin Manjiang.

Walking out of the office building, Lin Manjiang looked at the red clouds in the sky and exclaimed, "It's so beautiful!

“Come to think of it, I’ve been in Lone Eagle Town for a while, and I haven’t been to the street to taste the special dishes of our Lone Eagle Town.

Comrade Wang Zi, this food street was set up by you all. I wonder if you can accompany me to try it."

Facing Lin Manjiang's invitation, Wang Zi thought that they would meet each other every day and they were allies, and it would not be appropriate to make the relationship too stiff. After thinking about it, she nodded and agreed.

The food street is bustling with people under the setting sun.

Many tourists and inspection groups have entered the museum one after another, and Wang Zi kept greeting people she knew.

Lin Manjiang asked: "How did you come up with the idea for this food court?"

Hearing this, Wang Zi suddenly laughed.

Lin Manjiang was puzzled, "Did I say something wrong?"

"No, Comrade Man Jiang, I just thought of your question, so I found it funny. This all started when Lone Eagle Town first became famous."

Wang Zi said that Qi Tongwei came up with this idea just to prevent the inspection team from eating for free.

Later on, it developed to the point where not only were these people not allowed to eat for free, but money had to be taken out of their pockets.

Therefore, Qi Tongwei improved the nightlife of Guying Town according to the template of later night markets, providing not only dinner but also midnight snacks.

Just to squeeze as much money as possible from tourists.

Most people will be consciously guided to watch shows and enjoy various activities after dinner.

After a round, you have consumed both your physical strength and your wallet.

Looking at the time again, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. It was a good time to have a midnight snack, drink some wine and have a good sleep.

What? You go to bed right after dinner? Sorry, the shops on the street don't close so early.

If you want to sleep, you can sleep on the noisy streets. After all, there are food streets and entertainment streets below everyone's rooms.

What to do if you can’t sleep? Just drink a few more glasses, and GDP will come.

By the time everyone had a good sleep, it was already the next morning.

After getting up and washing up, you can have lunch. As for breakfast, how much money can you make from that?

This theory sounded like a fairy tale to Lin Manjiang. "I never thought business could be done this way. I am convinced by Comrade Tong Wei."

"Yes, when I first heard Secretary Qi's idea, I was also shocked. This set of Tai Chi is simply to make the money in your pocket disappear without a trace once you come here."

"He is really an expert in economics. Do you think our county can try this method?" Lin Manjiang was eager to catch the prey and tried to trap the county town in his mind.

"I can't guarantee that. I have to ask Secretary Qi. Since our remote mountain town can achieve it, the county may be able to do it as long as they find the right method."

Lin Manjiang nodded in approval.

While talking, the two found a small fish restaurant.

"Mayor Wang, you are here. Please have a seat."

The bosses all knew Wang Zi because of the frequent contacts. They immediately found a good seat for her. "Mayor Wang, is this your wife?"

The two were stunned, and Wang Zi quickly explained, "No, no, this is our town's new mayor, Lin."

"Oh, sorry, sorry." The boss apologized quickly, "Look, what would you like to order?"

"According to the number of people, give us a portion of Nanxiang-style double pepper fish head and a portion of steamed sea bass."

"Okay, I'll serve it to you right away." The boss ran back to the kitchen embarrassedly.

Wang Zi said apologetically, "Mayor Lin, I'm sorry."

Lin Manjiang waved his hand and said, "I should be embarrassed. I come too seldom and fail to do my job well. The merchants don't know me. I have to come down more often in the future and let the villagers get to know me as soon as possible."

"By the way, I still don't know where Comrade Wang Zi's lover works?"

"Lover?" A figure suddenly appeared in Wang Zi's mind, "I'm not married yet."

Lin Manjiang looked very surprised.

"What? Don't believe it?"

"I really don't believe it. With Comrade Wang Zi's conditions, she must have many suitors. Besides..."

Wang Zi took over the conversation and sighed, "Besides, I'm already so old, right?"

At the age of 25, she was considered an old left-over woman in the 1990s.

Wang Zi fell into a problem that many outstanding women in later generations faced.

Those who are better than me have basically started a family and a career, and looking at the rest of my peers, very few of them have climbed to the position of deputy section chief.

Especially in the poor place of Yantai County.

Moreover, Wang Zi doesn't take relationships too seriously. She is a woman with a desire for power, especially after having tasted the taste of power. Even if she is looking for a partner, she will definitely look for someone who can help her in her career, otherwise it is better not to look for one.

"I'm sorry, that's not what I meant."

"It's okay, I'm used to it."

"Actually, love matters can't be rushed. I'm not single," Lin Manjiang comforted.

"You're still single?" Wang Zi was a little unconvinced. "You're so outstanding?"

"As a man, you should build your career first and then start a family." Lin Manjiang laughed, not caring at all, "Besides, we are both friends."

The two smiled at each other. At this moment, Wang Zi suddenly felt that Lin Manjiang was a pretty good person.
