Chapter 319: Changes in Qijia Village 2
Qi Tongwei frowned, then relaxed his brows.
Humans are a kind of strange creatures. They will continue to change with time and the external environment.
In later generations, there were many people who became rich overnight after being relocated. They suddenly received a large sum of money, their personalities changed drastically, and they started to live a luxurious life. In the end, the huge amount of money that was enough for them to live a lifetime was lost in a short period of time, and they fell back into poverty again.
This is the case with the villagers of Qijia Village. They do not bear any pressure on the road to wealth. They only need to work as hard as usual to earn a hundred times more profit than before.
The huge wealth has blinded their eyes, making them think that they have made the greatest contribution, while Huawei Group only does transportation and takes half of the profits by selling vegetables, so it would be fine to let them operate it.
Perhaps Qi Tongwei also played an important role in this. Now everyone in Qijia Village knows that Qi Tongwei has become a high-ranking official, but they don’t know how high a rank he is.
Anyway, as long as Qi Tongwei is here, he will definitely be able to help them. What does it matter if it's Huawei Group? Those are all vegetables grown on the land in their village.
When the vehicle drove into Qijia Village, all you could see were brand new three-story red brick houses, some of which were even covered with wall tiles, which indirectly showed the wealth of Qijia Village.
Many people were busy in the fields, as if nothing had changed, just like in the past.
Seeing Qi Tongwei's puzzled look, Ma Xiaojun explained: "These people are all outsiders recruited by Qijia Village. The real people from Qi Village have stopped working long ago.
If a leader comes, I will come out and show off.”
Qi Tongwei looked calm and did not express his opinion.
If you just choose comfort, it's not a big deal and it can also promote employment.
No one wants to work even if they have money.
As the car passed the planting area and stopped in a residential area, the scene became different again.
The villagers of Qijia gathered in groups of three or five, sitting around the table. Some were playing cards, some were playing mahjong, and some were eating, drinking and chatting. It was very lively.
Qi Tongwei even saw Qi's father participating in it, rolling up his sleeves and throwing money into the middle with a red face.
Ma Xiaojun said: "When I was the village party secretary, I built a leisure square here specifically for everyone to rest and chat. There was also a library and a chess and card room inside. At that time, I strictly prohibited gambling.
I never imagined that after only a year or two since I left, this place would become a gambling hotspot."
Qi Tongwei's voice was not loud, but it was icy cold: "Did they fight hard?"
"Big, a card game can win or lose a few thousand yuan at most. Some people have lost all their dividends for next year. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so eager to grab the dividends from Huawei Group.
But I think most of them were manipulated, mainly by Qi Lao San."
As he spoke, Ma Xiaojun pointed to a fat and strong man sitting in a prominent position. The gold necklace on his neck, as thick as a finger, was particularly eye-catching.
...
They recognized Ma Xiaojun's car as the township head as soon as it entered the village committee, but they just glanced at it indifferently, turned back to the card game, and their voices became louder and louder.
The old man still remembered the old friendship, "Village Chief Ma is here, why don't you go over and ask what's going on?"
"What are you asking? The first question is why we don't work and just play cards. He's not our Brother Qi, so why should he control us? Eighty thousand!"
The person at the next table chimed in, "In the final analysis, he's just a dog of our Qi family. If it weren't for our Brother Qi, how could he have become this crappy village chief? Boom!"
"That's right, can a dog control its owner? If you keep on nagging, I think I'll have Uncle Qi call Brother Qi and ask him to remove this worthless village chief."
Father Qi looked arrogant and slowly showed the cards in his hand, "Flush!"
"Come on, come on, give me money."
...
The conversation among the crowd did not cover up the sound, which made Qi Tongwei's face darken. He patted Ma Xiaojun on the shoulder and said, "Brother, I'm sorry, you have been wronged."
Ma Xiaojun was very excited. The villagers of Qijia Village called him a dog, but he didn't care. As long as Qi Tongwei understood and supported him, this grievance was nothing.
After all these years in officialdom, his knowledge is no longer that of a college student like Wuxia Amon. In this world of fame and fortune, if he can be promoted from a dog to a village chief, he will probably rush to do so if he has the opportunity to be a county chief or a mayor in the future.
What's more, Qi Tongwei has been very sincere to him over the years and has been paving the way for him since his student days, allowing him to be one step ahead of others every step of the way. What else does he have to think about?
Ma Xiaojun replied guiltily: "Tongwei, it's nothing. It's just that you handed Qijia Village to me, but I didn't take good care of it. I feel guilty."
Qi Tongwei patted Ma Xiaojun again and looked at the people playing cards with a sharp look in his eyes. "That's very kind, Xiaojun! Please ask the police from the police station to come over immediately and confiscate their gambling money."
"Is this... too late?"
"However, if they are not taught a profound lesson, they will not recognize their mistakes."
Ma Xiaojun responded and started to dial, "Jinping Township Police Station, is this? I'm the township head, Ma Xiaojun, connecting you to Chief Li."
"Captain Li, bring your people and come to Qijia Village immediately."
"What? Arrest gambling! Yes! Immediately!"
Ten minutes later, the alarm sounded.
Two police cars, five police motorcycles, and more than a dozen police officers came roaring in.
As a key township, the specifications of the police station in Jinping Township are obviously far beyond those of ordinary townships.
One of the police cars was parked directly next to the township head's car, and Director Li of Jinping Township Police Station opened the car door and came over.
Ma Xiaojun rolled down the window and pointed at the stunned villagers. "Did you see those people gambling? All their money is confiscated. Take away everything that should be taken away."
Director Li was stunned and cautiously reminded: "Village Head Ma, this is from Secretary Qi's hometown."
It was no secret to them that Qi Tongwei was promoted to the position of county party secretary. The reason was that his official career was too dazzling. In five years, he had completed a career that others could not complete in their entire lifetime.
It is true that Qi Tongwei is not in Yantai, but he has many old subordinates and leaders here. For example, Xiao Jianhua, who was promoted to executive vice mayor last month, is the old leader who appreciates Qi Tongwei the most.
If you "raid" someone else's house, your house may be raided tomorrow.
Ma Xiaojun stepped aside, revealing Qi Tongwei. "Do you know who this is?"
Director Li shook his head blankly.
"He is Secretary Qi."
Director Li was startled and quickly bowed and saluted, "Hello, Secretary Qi."
Qi Tongwei nodded slightly, "Director Li, thank you for your help."
"You're welcome." Director Li immediately understood Qi Tongwei's intention.
The higher the position, the more afraid one is of being made a fuss. If the villagers who gathered to gamble were ordinary people, it would not be a problem. But since it involved Qi Tongwei, in a sense, it became a stain on Qi Tongwei.
The other party is trying to make his position clear.
Understanding Qi Tongwei's intention, Chief Li straightened his back, stood up straight, and waved his hand at the police officers under his command, "Catch them!"
The police officers looked at each other, as if asking: Are they really arresting him? This is the hometown of Qi Tongwei, the most powerful county party secretary in Handong. Everyone here is related to him.
Director Li stepped forward and kicked his subordinate, "Hurry up and arrest him. Confiscate the gambling money. I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong!"
The police officers were startled and saluted in unison, "Yes."
A dozen police officers quickly rushed to the card table.
