Reborn as Zhao Ruilong of Handong, I will defy fate.

Chapter 226 Giving a Gift to Zhao Ruilong: Teacher Gao is so eager to improve!

Night fell.

Gao Yuliang and Qi Tongwei stood by the roadside, watching Zhao Ruilong's van drive away.

When the taillights were no longer visible, Gao Yuliang slowly raised his head and looked at the night sky.

"Tongwei, it's going to pour rain!"

Qi Tongwei looked up and gazed at the night sky.

He knew, of course, that Teacher Gao wasn't talking about the weather, but rather about the recent situation in Handong.

A storm has already broken out in Jingzhou, and many people have suffered. How could Luzhou remain unmoved?

Moreover, Zhao Ruilong had already made his point very clearly at the dinner table tonight.

Handong needs to purify its business environment and change its work style.

Anyone who defies the rules or acts against them is courting death!

In order to achieve high-quality economic development, it's truly necessary to either change mindsets or replace people.

As one of the important cities in Handong and a key investment area for Zhao Ruilong, Luzhou naturally had to stir up a storm and change its style.

If Luzhou is to make great strides, how can it not have the support of Teacher Gao, the top leader?

Although the two did not discuss any specific deal, they had implicitly agreed to everything.

Having long been a member of the Zhao family's group, and wanting to make progress faster, Teacher Gao naturally had no other choice.

Luzhou also needs a torrential downpour!

"It's been so hot and humid for days. A downpour would be good; the air will be fresh after the storm!"

Gao Yuliang smiled slightly, turned around and went back to the villa.

Qi Tongwei quickly followed.

Upon arriving in the living room, the first thing I did was bring out a teacup.

"Teacher, have some tea to sober up."

"Put it down for now, I'm not drunk tonight."

Gao Yuliang leaned back lazily on the sofa, crossed his legs, and casually rested his hands on the armrests.

"There's something I need you to think about."

"Teacher, tell me."

Qi Tongwei leaned forward, looking like he was listening attentively.

Gao Yuliang adjusted his glasses.

"You've seen how fast Luzhou's economy has developed in the last two years."

"Once the high-speed rail is completed and the aviation industrial park is established, Luzhou's economy will take another step forward."

"I am very confident that Luzhou's GDP growth rate in the next two years will rank at least among the top three in the province, or even second, second only to the provincial capital, Jingzhou."

"Zhao Ruilong has been a great help to me in achieving such remarkable results. Next month is his 29th birthday. Don't you think I should give him something?"

This question really stumped Qi Tongwei.

He knew, of course, that Zhao Ruilong had helped Teacher Gao a lot.

Given the current development situation in Lüzhou, Teacher Gao will definitely leave Li Dakang, who went to Lincheng, far behind.

What kind of place is Lincheng?

Its mineral resources are already depleted, and its economy ranks at the bottom.

After Li Dakang arrived, he diverted water to create a lake to manage the subsidence area and develop ecological agriculture.

How could Luzhou, with its slow pace of development, compare to the speed at which it has attracted numerous high-tech projects?

The speed of Lincheng's development naturally determines the speed of Li Dakang's progress.

If Teacher Gao wanted to take the lead, he naturally had to hold Zhao Ruilong tightly.

But this birthday present...

"Teacher, this really stumps me!"

"Who is Ruilong? He can invest trillions of yuan and make a fortune selling MP3s in internet cafes every day."

"It's safe to say he's not lacking in material things, so he won't care about any gift. Therefore, we can only give him something original!"

As soon as Qi Tongwei finished speaking, Gao Yuliang sighed:

“He approached me last year, wanting to build a lakeside food city on the shore of Crescent Lake, but I politely declined.”

“Now that I’ve offered to approve the project, I’m afraid he might not want to build it anymore.”

Qi Tongwei laughed and said, "That's natural. Not to mention whether the project will violate the ecological protection red line and cause environmental pollution, Huilong Group's current business focus is no longer real estate."

"If the Zhao siblings still see real estate as a cash cow, they wouldn't have been able to secure huge international investments and instead invest in high-tech industries instead of frantically hoarding land and developing properties everywhere."

"Most importantly, isn't rising housing prices something that real estate developers would love to see? But for the sake of long-term development, he had Zhao Shuji take strong measures to regulate the market. This is enough to prove that he could not possibly still want to build a food court."

Gao Yuliang stood up slightly and picked up his teacup.

"Then tell me, what should I give him?"

Qi Tongwei frowned in deep thought.

"To make a gift truly satisfying, you have to find a way to cater to the recipient's preferences. So, what does Ruilong want most?"

Gao Yuliang scoffed, "Isn't that obvious? Of course he wants his dad to advance further!"

Qi Tongwei said, "We can't fulfill his wish for him, but we can take the initiative to help him do some things he wants to do but hasn't done yet!"

"for example?"

Gao Yuliang took a sip of tea and looked at his beloved disciple Qi Tongwei with a smile.

"What I'm thinking is, in order to help Zhao Shuji advance his career, he spared no effort in investing heavily in Handong, rectifying the work style at the grassroots level, and regulating the price of commercial housing. So, can't we do anything that is conducive to high-quality economic development?"

“We can take the initiative to support high-quality economic development in various aspects such as scientific research subsidies, talent recruitment, and production support, instead of waiting for him to make specific demands before we meet them.”

At this point, Qi Tongwei raised his hand and pointed south.

"Isn't it almost June already?"

"Many universities, including Luzhou University, should be facing thesis defenses and job hunting by now, right?"

"We could take this opportunity to have the relevant departments organize a large-scale job fair involving universities and companies!"

"In this way, not only will tens of thousands of college students have the opportunity to find jobs, but many companies, including Huilong Group, will also be able to recruit urgently needed talents."

"Besides, aren't many companies investing in Luzhou these days? To maintain stable production and operation in Luzhou in the long term, medical care and education must also keep up."

“Otherwise, even if businesses come and employees are hired, it will be inconvenient for the employees and their families. Children won’t be able to attend school nearby, and the elderly will have to travel far and face difficulties to seek medical treatment. How can this be acceptable?”

"So I think the gift we're giving Ruilong is that our Lüzhou City has quickly changed its mindset and become a provincial model for transforming its work style, earnestly serving the high-quality economy!"

Gao Yuliang nodded slightly.

Zhao Ruilong would definitely like such a special gift without even having to think about it.

but……

We must quickly change our mindset and earnestly change our work style.

It's not that easy!

The bureaucratic mindset and formalistic work style that have been cultivated at the grassroots level over the years cannot be changed in a day or two.

For example, people who are used to demanding bribes and favors, and who expect something in return for getting things done.

Can we expect him to suddenly offer to help high-tech companies solve their problems without charging a single penny?

There is a way to achieve what Qi Tongwei said.

That is, 'If you don't change your mindset, you'll be replaced.'

If someone doesn't listen, replace them with someone who does.

In any case, the system is never short of people who are capable and eager to advance.

As long as there's an opportunity to improve, let alone enthusiastically serve the company.

They would be happy to work as babysitters for tech companies.

Then the problem is coming.

How can we 'replace' someone?

Gao Yuliang looked at Qi Tongwei with a deep gaze.

"The person in charge of the storm in Jingzhou, isn't that your old classmate Cheng Du?"

Qi Tongwei nodded repeatedly.

"It's true, he's really become famous this time."

“He dared to arrest and detain many people who were much higher in rank than him.”

Gao Yuliang smiled faintly.

"With someone backing him up, of course he's not afraid. But what about you?"

What kind of intelligent person is Qi Tongwei?

He immediately and keenly sensed Teacher Gao's intention.

We need to give gifts to Zhao Ruilong to please this young master.

A storm is about to break out in Luzhou, and the bigger the better.

Only a storm big enough can overturn many people and bring about a major reshuffle of the team.

Only with new people can we have a new attitude, a new atmosphere, and a new style...

"Teacher, I've been waiting for your instructions!"

Qi Tongwei's answer deserves full marks.

It not only expressed loyalty, but also revealed determination.

As long as Gao Yuliang gives the order, Qi Tongwei will go through fire and water without hesitation.

Gao Yuliang took a sip of hot tea.

"The reason why Jingzhou was able to stir up a storm is because of the case of the Fulin Old Restaurant, where a minor mistake was made and a heavy sentence was handed down. But what about our Luzhou?"

"What event do you think could be the trigger to ignite a reform storm?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei immediately smiled.

Gao Yuliang's words were practically a direct statement that he wanted to take action against the Huang family.

The Huang family has been deeply rooted in Luzhou for many years and wields enormous influence.

If a major reshuffle is needed, taking direct action against the Huang family would be the best course of action.

"Teacher, if you want to take action, isn't it easy to find an excuse?"

"Everyone in Luzhou knows that Haitian Nightclub is exceptionally luxurious and extravagant."

"In many people's eyes, there is no place in Luzhou that is more upscale or safer!"

"It's said that once you enter the Haitian Nightclub, you can do whatever you want, because the boss behind it is Huang Wusheng, and his brother..."

Qi Tongwei didn't need to say anything more; Gao Yuliang already knew.

The deputy secretary and mayor of Lüzhou City is named Huang Wucheng.

"A nightclub that indulges in debauchery and debauchery has managed to become so famous; it's incredibly arrogant and brazen!"

Gao Yuliang put down his teacup and gave Qi Tongwei a meaningful look.

Qi Tongwei immediately understood.

Destroying this largest and most luxurious establishment in Luzhou City would be enough to uncover a whole host of other problems.

With the Huang family of Luzhou already overthrown, why worry about not being able to completely overhaul the family?

In the past, Qi Tongwei certainly wouldn't have dared to touch the Huang family's assets.

Huang Wucheng is the second-in-command of Luzhou City. How could he possibly afford to offend him?

but now……

In order to help Teacher Gao deliver a gift to Zhao Ruilong, and also for the sake of the teacher's advancement, and even more so for myself.

How could Qi Tongwei possibly be merciful?

That night.

After leaving the municipal party committee compound, Qi Tongwei went to the vicinity of the Haitian Nightclub to conduct on-site inspections and consider plans.

Under the cover of night, the nightclub is brightly lit and bustling with activity.

It's unknown how many high-ranking officials, wealthy merchants, and business owners from Luzhou indulged in pleasure there.

This is not only a place of fame and fortune in Luzhou, but also a marketplace of power and money.

Countless dirty deals and illegal schemes are agreed upon amidst the clinking of glasses and the embrace of women.

Qi Tongwei, who was particularly eager to improve, naturally possessed amazing perseverance.

Back when he was a narcotics officer, he risked his life to fight a bloody battle at Lone Eagle Ridge.

What's a little stakeout and surveillance these days in order to take down Haitian Nightclub?

Early in the morning.

Some guests came out one after another.

Because I have to go to work on Monday, I don't dare to stay out too late.

Qi Tongwei held the binoculars, trying to remember the faces of those people who were flushed and beaming with joy after drinking.

Some of them even hold high-ranking positions.

Time passes slowly.

Qi Tongwei kept observing secretly until nearly 2 a.m.

After returning home, he didn't plan to sleep at all. After washing up, he lay in bed thinking about his plan.

After a short nap of just over four hours, I went to my workplace as soon as it was light to review the case files.

Besides the Haitian Nightclub, Qi Tongwei also investigated and reviewed all the cases involving Huang Wusheng's various companies in recent years.

After having a general plan, Qi Tongwei did not take immediate action.

The Huang family has been operating in Luzhou for many years, and their influence is deeply entrenched and their relationships are complex.

If they act rashly, Huang Wusheng will probably receive the news before the police car even leaves the city police station.

Therefore, he plans to select a group of young and ambitious 'newcomers' who are from other places.

They were tasked with infiltrating the organization to conduct secret investigations, driven by a desire for advancement and merit.

After gathering sufficient evidence, they launched a swift and decisive attack.

As for Gao Yuliang...

Eager to improve, he naturally didn't stay idle.

As a well-educated and reasonable scholar, he still wanted to try diplomacy first before resorting to force.

If there's still a chance to salvage the situation with Huang Wucheng, who is the second-in-command in Luzhou City, he doesn't want to completely sever ties.

So he asked his secretary, Chen Qingquan, to invite Huang Wucheng, who had just attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the high-speed rail project.

The province has convened a joint meeting of multiple departments to regulate the real estate industry across the province.

Although the relevant documents have not yet been issued to Lüzhou City, it is reasonable for the two to meet and discuss it first.

After discussing housing price regulation, Gao Yuliang naturally moved on to changing work style and truly serving high-quality economic development.

After some probing and casual conversation, Gao Yuliang realized he was overthinking things.

Huangwu City is not so easily changed.

The ass decides the head.

Huang Wucheng rose to power step by step by relying on investments from numerous business owners to achieve impressive political results.

How easy is it to get him to abandon traditional thinking and take the lead in changing his work style?

His constant platitudes made Gao Yuliang feel nauseous.

After a polite and courteous end to the conversation, Gao Yuliang made up his mind completely.

So, no sooner had Huang Wucheng left than Gao Yuliang used his personal cell phone to call Qi Tongwei.

"I'm all set on my end, you can get started anytime."

"Remember, just go for it, there's no limit to what you can achieve."

"If he can make such a big splash in Jingzhou, how can you, Qi Tongwei, be inferior to him?"
