Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 1044 Bloodstained Evidence

On second thought, I realized it wasn't a big problem.

A 100-story building may be a rarity now, but in three to five years, when the Beishan economy has grown, this building will become a necessity.

Qi Tongwei did not remind Xu Lian, "Since you have this question, I think you can bring it up at the Standing Committee meeting later."

Xu Lian seemed encouraged and said happily, "Mayor, you also think it makes sense?"

"Whether it makes sense or not, we can discuss it. The Standing Committee is a place where everyone can speak freely. It doesn't matter if we say something wrong. At least everyone knows what problems this decision will face today and in the future."

This will not only provide today's comrades with more ideas, but also accumulate experience for future comrades.

Xu Lian still couldn't guess Qi Tongwei's thoughts. He thought Qi Tongwei wanted him to fire his guns, so he continued to probe, saying, "I think there will be big problems in the future."

Creating vanity projects is nothing new. From the days when people were so bold and reckless, to today's frantic and impulsive projects with deadlines for achieving zero targets, how many of these projects have taken into account local realities? Aren't they all focused on short-term political achievements?

Anyway, just build up the high-rise buildings and set up the projects, then invite some media to hype it up. Once you have enough momentum, your official position will naturally be promoted.

Once an official is promoted, who cares about the raging flood of his successor?

Think about it, isn't Wenshan's failure to develop precisely because of this?

From Chen Tonghe, oh, that is, the former Deputy Secretary Yu, to today's Liu Zhuangfu and Tian Fengyi, I don't know how many vanity projects they have created.

Too many vanity projects inevitably consume public funds that shouldn't be used for them, and also create unnecessary burdens.

This is not an isolated case; it has happened before, it happens now, and it will not end in the future.

Perhaps in the future, our successors will do the same thing.

After all, leaving problems to one's successor is a long-standing tradition of our Party.

Qi Tongwei said seriously, "I don't think there's any need to preserve such unnecessary old traditions."

Regardless of the past, Beishan cannot leave a burden on its successors, and even more so, it cannot leave a burden on the people.

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

The secretary came in to report: Secretary Zuo from the Discipline Inspection Commission has arrived.

Xu Lian laughed and said, "Mayor, you see, I'm not the only one who's anxious."

Qi Tongwei remained calm and had his secretary invite him in. He knew that Zuo Ming hadn't come to discuss this kind of matter.

Zuo Ming walked in with the distinctively serious expression of a discipline inspection officer. He paused for a moment when he saw Xu Lian, then quickly regained his composure and stopped at the door, saying, "Mayor Qi, you're discussing business, so... I'll come back later?"

Xu Lian paused for a moment, realizing it must be about important work related to the Discipline Inspection Commission. Since he wasn't one of the two secretaries (one secretary and two deputy secretaries) and needed to recuse himself, he quickly stood up. "No need, Comrade Zuo Ming, I've already finished my report. You can report now."

Xu Lian took his leave, and Zuo Ming then sat down. As soon as he sat down, he hurriedly handed over a document.

"Mayor Qi, I have a very important matter to report to you."

Qi Tongwei remained calm and asked, "What's going on?"

"It's evidence of crimes committed by Duan Feng, a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, and Director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau."

Zuo Ming used criminal evidence, which means the evidence inside is genuine. Otherwise, given his principles as the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, he would never arbitrarily define someone without trial.

Qi Tongwei solemnly took the materials and began to read them.

Zuo Ming tapped his fingertips heavily on the edge of the table, his voice heavy as if weighed down by lead: "The origin of this material is related to a bloody case that just happened."

At 8 a.m., the newly built "Shifu Road" commercial district on Jiefang Road in Beishan City was bustling with activity.

Ma Yurong and her daughter Yan Dongping arranged to meet at a restaurant serving light Lingnan cuisine.

Ma Yurong never expected that her daughter, who had disappeared for so long, would reappear in Beishan.

She was very worried, because Duan Feng was hesitant to act rashly; if the two of them separated, they would live, but if they were together, they would likely die.

Subsequent events proved that his sense of crisis was undeniably accurate in enabling him to become an indispensable figure in Beishan's political arena.

When mother and daughter met, tears welled up in their eyes, but the joy of their reunion ultimately overcame the brief unease and fear in their hearts.

During the meal, the mother, Ma Yurong, shared her experiences during this period, how she made a lot of money in Beishan, and how she made many new friends, such as Deputy Director An of the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

Ma Yurong was unaware that An Xin had been transferred away from Beishan. She still spoke of this Deputy Director An with a shy expression, her words full of admiration, and her mood had calmed down considerably.

With this nemesis of the Beishan cadres around, that Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission would never dare to be so presumptuous.

Yan Dongping was very surprised. How could people like them have love? Or rather, they no longer believed in love. Only interests and money would be their ultimate destination.

"Mom, you haven't fallen in love with him, have you?" Yan Dongping emphasized the word "love".

Ma Yurong did not deny it, nodded, and recounted how the two met.

It's a very cliché hero saves the damsel in distress story.

In her heart, An Xin was the prince charming who saved her from danger.

Especially when she and Duan Feng had a falling out and she was living in fear, it was An Xin who comforted her, promised to give her justice, and agreed to start an investigation into Duan Feng.

Yan Dongping felt something was amiss and reminded her, "How can a deputy director of the anti-corruption bureau investigate a member of the municipal party committee standing committee and the secretary of the political and legal affairs commission?"

Ma Yurong said, "You don't understand. He's a cadre from Handong. The mayor of Beishan specially transferred him from Handong to Beishan to fight corruption."

Yan Dongping suddenly realized that if she handed the evidence to this Deputy Director An, she might be able to get away from it or escape the control of that "Brother Jiang".

Thinking of this, Yan Dongping glanced at the several burly men sitting and drinking tea not far away.

That was arranged by Brother Jiang to "protect" her safety, which of course also restricted her movements.

Ma Yurong, unaware of this, sighed and said resentfully, "It's a pity that the boy is so clueless; your mother still hasn't managed to win him over."

Yan Dongping said absentmindedly, "He really does have self-control; he is indeed a good man."

In today's restless era, those who are not blinded by desire are either ruthless heroes or people who truly have their own bottom line. Of course, they may also have lustful thoughts but lack the courage to act on them.

However, as the deputy director of the anti-corruption bureau, such a problem should not exist.

After recounting her own situation, Ma Yurong finally came to her senses and began to inquire about her daughter's condition. Since Yan Dongping was detained, she had been cut off from contact with the outside world for some time.

At that time, Ma Yurong thought that Yan Dongping had been killed by Duan Feng, and she almost couldn't help but try to escape from the Han River.

Yan Dongping stammered, "I'm doing... pretty well. I'm in Beijing, and I've found a rich man. I might... go abroad in a while."

Considering the burly man guarding her, Yan Dongping ultimately didn't dare to reveal the truth.
