Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 243 The District Chief’s Temptation

"Brother, if you wait another two years, the top management will change and you will have to start all over again. The opportunities you face will definitely not be so good.

To be honest, if the position of district mayor of your Jiangbei New District were to become vacant, even the directors of the government’s super ministries would be eager to take it.

This position is more valuable than the mayor of a poor inland province. Don't miss it.

Remember, brother, one step slow, every step slow."

Qi Tongwei hung up the phone, rubbed his face, and leaned back in his chair to think.

It can be said that Liu Dexu's words touched his heart. Yes, to be fair, if the position of the mayor of Jiangbei New District was really vacant, all the young cadres in the state ministries and commissions would be eager to grab it. As a bridgehead city for reform and opening up, if they made achievements here, their names would be heard directly by the top leaders.

Is he going to give up so easily when he hasn't even tried it himself? No, he actually has the best chance. First of all, he occupies the position of executive director and is in charge of most of the key tasks of Jiangbei New District.

The work performance is outstanding, and the GDP for the first half of the year will be released soon. The data from the Statistics Bureau in the past few months alone are very outstanding. Compared with last year's figure of more than 3 billion, if the growth rate in the second half of this year remains the same as that in the first half, then it will be a steady 100% growth again.

The district has been basically integrated by Qi Tongwei and Jin Xinkai. Most of the functional departments are very obedient and the working atmosphere is very good.

In a situation like this, if someone else took over, Qi Tongwei would be reluctant to leave, as he had been running the business for so long and had built the high-tech zone brick by brick in his hands.

Thinking of this, Qi Tongwei made up his mind, sat up, put out paper and pen, and began to compare his strengths and weaknesses with those of other opponents.

Think of a way to break the impasse.

The biggest disadvantage is nothing more than seniority, but the current municipal party secretary and mayor are not people who care about seniority. In order to maximize the results of reform and opening up, both of them will recruit talents without any restrictions. Qi Tongwei's appointment as executive deputy district mayor is the best example.

The turning point was in the middle of 96. The municipal party secretary was to be transferred for another term. If the mayor could take over, then everything would be easy. He would definitely take my achievements into consideration.

The only thing to be afraid of is that the new municipal party secretary will be someone else. There will be no local rivals. Municipal party secretaries from other places, lower-ranking deputy provincial governors, provincial government secretaries-general, mayors of sub-provincial cities, and even lower-ranking provincial party committee standing committee members may all come.

Everything is subject to change, but the mayor has already taken the position here, and this is the biggest advantage, because he single-handedly created the current pattern of rapid economic growth due to reform and opening up. It is still a question whether other people can handle it if they come here.

Forget it, don't bother yourself with this. The position of municipal party secretary is something that ZY should consider. Why should a mere deputy director-level official like him think about this? He should think about what he can do right now. Going through so much trouble to think about the personnel structure at the top is just causing trouble for himself.

The first priority is to ensure development and develop career. This is the foundation of everything. Without this foundation, no one will promote Qi Tongwei.

Furthermore, as long as Qi Tongwei has done outstanding and excellent work that is unmatched, no matter who becomes the municipal party secretary, he must be taken into consideration.

Work performance is a major premise, but not necessarily a decisive factor.

For example, if a student wants to be a graduate student, the prerequisite is that he must be an undergraduate student. There are many deciding factors, including major, major, etc., and the most important deciding factor is the test scores.

At present, Qi Tongwei's weakness is his seniority. He was promoted to deputy section level only in the second half of 94, which means it has not even been a full year. Even if it was 96, it has not even been two years.

He has held enough positions, from deputy district mayor who was also the director of the public security bureau to executive deputy district mayor who assisted the district mayor in presiding over all work.

As for political background and resources, within the city, Jin Xinkai will be the first to become a member of the Municipal Party Committee and district party secretary. At that time, his vote of recommendation will definitely be crucial.

If Mayor Chen Guangwei can become the municipal party secretary, then his position will be secure because the decision-making power lies with the municipal party secretary. If he fails, I am afraid he may leave here and may go to the provincial government to become the vice governor, or he may go to Lin'an to become the mayor. Although he will also be promoted to the vice-ministerial level, it is still a consolation prize in comparison.

Then the biggest reliance is actually on Li Lujun, the current deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. This senior brother will smoothly take office as governor when the term changes at the end of next year. However, the biggest problem is that the provincial party committee term change is at the end of the year, while the Dong'ou City term change is likely to be a few months earlier in the second half of the year.

Before this, Brother Li Lujie will face his own major progress, so he will definitely be cautious in words and deeds and avoid interfering in specific matters. By the time he takes office, the dust here will have settled and the coffin will have been carried to Qingming Bridge.

But I still have to discuss it with him, this step cannot be skipped, and there are also top-level relationships, but my own connections are all in the political and legal field.

I do know one person at the ministerial level and one at the deputy department level who have real power in the ZY Political and Legal Affairs Commission. I heard that Gao Yuliang will be promoted to the department level soon, but I don't know if it's true or not.

Suddenly, Qi Tongwei thought that after the provincial party committee changed its term, the top-level term would be changed immediately. The current secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission was too old to continue. Gao Yuliang, the new secretary, would definitely be demoted. No wonder there were rumors that he was going to be promoted to the full-time position. This was to facilitate his demotion.

Qi Tongwei suddenly thought of a possibility. If Gao Yuliang could come down, instead of going back to Handong, he would come to Dong'ou and take up the position here. He would be at the department level and be the secretary of the top leader. There would be no other position except the mayor. At the worst, he would be the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, at the department level.

The more Qi Tongwei thought about it, the more excited he became. The possibility of pushing Gao Yuliang to be transferred to Dong'ou City first was very high. There was only one reason for this: he was the secretary of a second-rank cabinet member, who was about to retire. It was both reasonable and appropriate for him to demote his secretary to a good position before retiring.

As long as Gao Yuliang rushes forward and occupies the mayor's throne, it will be a foregone conclusion that Qi Tongwei will take the position, even if the current mayor Chen Guangwei does not become the municipal party secretary.

After all, one cannot escape the temptation. For the sake of this official hat, even if Qi Tongwei is a reborn person and has a broader vision than others and a better grasp of the future situation, this official hat still tempts people.

Now that the strategy has been determined, Qi Tongwei is a little worried about how to proceed.

However, during the Chinese New Year last year, Qi Tongwei hinted at how better the situation would be if Gao Yuliang was transferred to Dong'ou, which must have planted the seeds in his heart.
