Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 419 Conspiracy

Old Master Guo understood that this was an attempt to eliminate his influence.

This eliminates not only influence but also power.

Could he give up his power? If he lost it, who would still support him? Would everyone respect him? Would they bow and applaud him?

Will the leaders in the county and city give him some face and call him Mr. Guo or old man?

Without power, he is just an old man, an ordinary old man, even disgusting.

"I disagree!"

Qi Tongwei seemed to have anticipated the other party's reaction and just smiled. "Okay, if you don't agree, forget it. Let's talk about it later."

Qi Tongwei looked outside and saw that the rain had gotten heavier. Concerned about flood prevention issues in various places, he simply said goodbye.

"Grandpa, I still have a lot of things to do, so I won't keep any more money. I'll have the finance department allocate the money after the flood season."

Without waiting for the other party's reaction, Qi Tongwei stood up and walked out of the lobby.

This matter cannot be settled in a few words. Old Master Guo has a strong desire for power. This is human nature.

But Qi Tongwei had already noticed the reactions of Guo Xiangli's two sons, and from their eyes he could see that they were still moved.

Power is a good thing.

Men, women, young and old all want it.

Qi Tongwei's move can be considered an open conspiracy, which is similar to Emperor Wu of Han's Enfeoffment Order.

Once he secretly sends someone to spread the news, there will naturally be some young and capable party members who want to run for election. By then, the entire Wayi tribe will no longer be a united front.

No matter how powerful he is, can he control people's hearts?

When he left, the villagers had already been driven back home by Kong Yiji.

It's raining and there's no benefit. Who wants to listen to these cadres talking nonsense here?

On the way back, Qi Tongwei talked to Kong Yiji again and asked him to publicize in the village that the county was planning to nominate young people for positions and to pay them salaries, to test the reaction in the village.

Kong Yiji agreed.

For the next period of time, Qi Tongwei inspected flood prevention work in various townships.

The situation in Haizhou City is not optimistic.

It is close to the sea and the river, and it can be said that water from several nearby provinces is discharged into the sea through the Han River.

Coupled with heavy rain, heavy rain means strong winds, and when the tide rises, seawater will definitely flow back. For this reason, people have been organized to build protective embankments along the entire coastline.

Every major leader in the city was assigned a responsibility area. Qi Tongwei naturally still managed his Jiangchang County, leaving home early and returning late every day to inspect various flood prevention sites.

It was not until the beginning of July that the rainfall was still quite high. Basically, there were heavy rain, moderate rain and torrential rain every day, and there were few clear days.

The first flood peak has appeared in the upper reaches of the Huangjiang River, and small-scale dike breaches have occurred in various places. A deputy-level leader has gone to the south to preside over flood prevention work.

The Headquarters of Flood Control and Drought Relief and the Ministry of Water Resources also dispatched experts to guide the rescue work.

Haizhou is also carrying out work under the guidance of experts.

Facing such a natural disaster, which is beyond human control, Qi Tongwei did not think that he was the chosen one and gave orders recklessly.

All power is given to experts for guidance, and he is only responsible for coordination, providing materials and people.

Soon, the low-lying areas along the river in various counties and cities in Haizhou were filled with sandbag walls. In many important places, not only the masses were mobilized, but also troops were stationed there.

In short, we must unite as one and be prepared for the flood drainage battle.

……

While the whole city was in a state of tension and cadres from all departments stayed at their posts, Guo Lei, the head of Wayi Township, sneaked into the city despite the stagnant water and heavy rain.

The last time Qi Tongwei came here, news spread in the village that Guo Lei was going to be transferred to be the director of the Letters and Visits Office.

What is the position of the director of the Letters and Visits Office? He is said to be the head of the department, but the power he holds is far less than that of the township head.

Once the news came out, his small group could no longer sustain itself.

The younger brothers were all waiting to see how he would break the deadlock.

Normally everyone hears him bragging about how good his relationship with Mayor Lu is, but now the critical moment has come, and whether it is good or not will be revealed.

Guo Lei also knew that his future was at stake, so he didn't dare to delay. He carried the gift, wiped his clothes, and knocked on Lu Min's door.

Lu Min has been very busy recently. Leaders from all over the city have formed a flood prevention team, and each team is responsible for an area. Lu Min is no exception.

Guo Lei arrived at the right time. Lu Min had just returned from the area he was responsible for and was taking a shower.

Under the guidance of Mrs. Lu Min, Guo Lei sat down on the sofa. Not long after, Lu Min came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bathrobe and wiping his hair. "I've been exhausted these past few days. Xiao Guo, how are things in your village lately?"

This question really stumped Guo Lei. He had no mood to patrol during this period. He was thinking about how to transfer to another position.

"It's okay, it's okay." Guo Lei looked a little unwell.

"That's good. Flood prevention is a big deal and we can't make any mistakes, otherwise Qi Tongwei will definitely have to deal with people again." Lu Min threw the towel on the sofa and picked up the cigarette box to take out a cigarette. Guo Lei hurriedly picked up the lighter and lit it.

Lu Min saw through it and pointed at the other person with a smile, "What's wrong? Did you encounter any problems?"

"You are wise. Yes, I might be exiled." Guo Lei told the whole story.

Hearing this, Lu Min frowned and snorted coldly, "You always give me problems.

How could you say this in front of Qi Tongwei? Isn't this just trying to seduce him?

Who is Qi Tongwei? A member of the Municipal Standing Committee or the County Party Secretary, even I have to avoid him."

Guo Lei said with a bitter face, "I was just unlucky. I didn't expect him to come to Wayi Township. I saw Kong Changling wasn't around, so I wanted to spread the word for you."

"What's the point of propaganda? If anything goes wrong, the county will handle it. If you really let these people come to me, you'll lose face for Qi Tongwei and put me on the spot. Do you know what people call you, the Wayi people, behind your backs? The Divine Tribe!" Lu Min said angrily, "If these people really pester me and make any excessive demands, do you think I should deal with it or not?"

Guo Lei didn't dare to respond. He only now realized how wrong he was. He didn't even understand the leader's true needs and his flattery backfired.

This was indeed Guo Lei's wishful thinking. Gao Yuliang and Qi Tongwei had suffered losses in the last incident, and he was not much better off. The city party secretary Qi Bin punished him and almost sent him to the CPPCC to retire.

Now I dare not provoke the other party anymore, and I always retreat away from him when I see him.

In other words, now is the time to be in the spotlight, so keep a low profile if possible.

Looking at the other party's helpless look, Lu Min didn't say much. After all, he was still counting on the other party to do things for him, so he couldn't just ignore it.

"Since he transferred you to the Petition Office, then go ahead and do it. His area shouldn't have many problems after Chen Xin's vigorous crackdown on organized crime. Have some tea first, and then I'll arrange for you to be transferred to the city."

"Yes, yes, yes." Guo Lei responded with a depressed look on his face. He thought that the little face he had in Jiang Chang would become a joke.
