Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 836: Fooling the Ghost 2

Lu Qiang was also used to his boss's unconventional thinking and did not question it.

As soon as he arrived downstairs at the hotel, Chen Jingze, secretary of the Handong Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, was already waiting on the first floor. Qi Tongwei was shocked.

"Secretary Chen, if you have work to do, just go and do it. You don't have to follow me all the way."

Chen Jingze did not dare to be negligent. The deputy secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission came to inspect, but you, a local Discipline Inspection Commission secretary, did not come to accompany him. Don’t you want a future? He just smiled.

"Deputy Secretary Qi, accompanying you on the inspection is the most important task at this moment."

Qi Tongwei didn't care. If they wanted to follow, then let them do so. The cadres of the Discipline Inspection Commission were also his own people, and he couldn't let them fail to deliver their mission.

"Then let's go, take me to the Agriculture Department. I heard that the officials there have a bad attitude and they lose all the information.

Secretary Chen, do you think they are burning newspapers at graves to fool the ghosts?

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Jingze's face changed. He thought that Qi Tongwei, as a cadre from Handong, came here just for the formality and would leave after a week of sightseeing. Not only him, most of the cadres in Handong Province thought so, otherwise the Agriculture Department would not dare to do so.

As a result, Qi Tongwei said directly on the first day that he was not satisfied with the work of the Agriculture Department. Given Qi Tongwei's current status, if this statement were to be spread in public, the leaders of the Agriculture Department would probably be labeled as not serious about their work, and this is even if there were no other violations of discipline or laws.

In other words, these people in the Agriculture Department's team have no future. Even if the provincial government team discusses their personnel in the future, anyone who wants to object can make sarcastic remarks.

"These cadres didn't take their work seriously when they were in the Agriculture Department. When Deputy Secretary Qi Tongwei of the Discipline Inspection Commission came to inspect them, they made a mess. Deputy Secretary Qi commented that their work attitude was not correct."

High-level leaders cannot easily evaluate the cadres below them. It’s okay to say good things, but comments like Qi Tongwei’s can almost kill the future of several people.

But Chen Jingze couldn't pretend he didn't hear it, because these words were spoken to him.

Chen Jingze immediately turned around and signaled to his secretary. The secretary had followed him for a long time and fully understood what the current context meant. Their Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection must take a positive attitude. This is what is called leaders speaking softly and subordinates listening heavily.

"Secretary, you will immediately arrange for an inspection team to go directly to the Department of Agriculture and conduct a detailed investigation into the multiple issues raised by the inspection team."

After Qi Tongwei and Chen Jingze finished their conversation, he tilted his head and saw another old acquaintance, Zhao Donglai, who was standing in the corner in police uniform.

"Hey, Comrade Donglai."

Zhao Donglai's EQ and IQ are obviously much higher than Hou Liangping and others. He stood in the corner very smartly, performing his tasks without looking around. It seems that he is responsible for security work this time.

Qi Tongwei called his name, and Zhao Donglai walked behind Chen Jingze with a reserved smile. He did not want to steal the limelight from his leader and saluted Qi Tongwei.

Qi Tongwei looked at Zhao Donglai’s shoulders and saw two little stars on them, indicating he had reached the deputy department level.

"Old leader, long time no see."

Zhao Donglai has always had a high emotional intelligence. Unlike some people, he would not take advantage of his acquaintance with the leader to curry favor with him. Instead, he knows the rules and keeps his distance.

Qi Tongwei patted Zhao Donglai on the shoulder. Although the two were of similar age, the huge gap in status made everyone feel that it was very normal.

"It's been many years since we last met. What's your current position?"

Zhao Donglai immediately stomped his feet, raised his hand, and saluted, completing the series of actions in one go.

"Secretary Qi, I am now the director of the Jingzhou Public Security Bureau. The last time we met was when you were the executive deputy director in 2000."

Qi Tongwei raised his eyebrows. It seemed that he was a few years faster than in his previous life. He remembered that he should have become the director of Jingzhou Public Security Bureau in 2013 or 14. Due to his lack of qualifications, he did not hold the position of deputy mayor of Jingzhou.

Judging from his shoulder straps, he has not yet taken up the position of deputy mayor, which means he is still a deputy department-level director, which was Qi Tongwei's former position.

"Eleven years have passed in the blink of an eye. You are still quite strong. You have exercised. It seems that Secretary Cui of your municipal party committee has a good eye for talent. So you will be in charge of security today, right?"

At this time, Zhao Donglai's shoulders relaxed and he nodded repeatedly in a flattering manner. Qi Tongwei couldn't help but admire his ability to control his strength freely.

"Yes, old leader, time flies by so fast. Don't look at me as thin now. It's because I was diagnosed with diabetes some time ago. I am thin because of the illness."

When Qi Tongwei heard this, he didn't know what to say. Zhao Donglai was really interesting. He used teasing himself to bring the two closer. It seemed that in 2015 in his previous life, Zhao Donglai's diabetes had just reached stage three, which meant that related organs began to be affected. There were no pathological symptoms in stages one and two, but the blood sugar levels were different from those of ordinary people.

"You, you have diabetes at such an age. You don't pay attention to your life.

Let's go then, the car is coming."

At this time, Qi Tongwei thought that Zhao Donglai's ability was indeed impressive. Last year, his benefactor, Deputy Mayor Zhang, the former deputy director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security and later the director of the Jiangzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, had just been arrested in Jiangzhou, but he was not affected and was promoted to the position of director of the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau. He was also a talent.

Qi Tongwei turned his head and saw from the corner of his eye that Chen Jingze and Zhao Donglai were communicating with each other with their eyes, but he didn't care and ignored their actions. He walked straight to the door and got into the Coaster car arranged by the provincial government.

Chen Jingze and Zhao Donglai also jogged after him.

It takes more than ten minutes to walk from the hotel to the Agriculture Department. Qi Tongwei was feeling bored, and when he saw Chen Jingze sitting next to him, he started talking to him.

"By the way, Secretary Chen, how many people surrendered themselves in your Handong Provincial Discipline Inspection Spring Thunder Operation this year?"

Chen Jingze has not yet gotten used to Qi Tongwei's unconventional thinking, and his mind is still full of work related to the red line of arable land.

"Deputy Secretary Qi, Operation Spring Thunder has been underway for three months, and it is mainly aimed at cadres in the resource sector of Lincheng City..."

This Spring Thunder Operation is about the original plot. In the previous life, the party secretary of Lincheng was Li Dakang. He launched a big project at that time and attracted many investors, which was to reintegrate mining enterprises in Lincheng, including a plan to build a lake in the collapsed mining area and a series of commercial real estate plans.

Although Li Dakang was not the leader of Lincheng this time, things still happened as expected. The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection took the Spring Thunder Operation as an opportunity to arrest several corrupt deputies in Lincheng. However, it also led to changes in the investment environment in Lincheng. Many investors were on the verge of collapse and might be implicated in the case. Other investors were also afraid and prepared to flee.
