Rebirth of Minister Qi

"District Chief Qi is here."

Chen Yu is an intellectual who always wears black-rimmed glasses. He is quite tall, gentle and refined, and always meticulous in what he says and does. Just like his appearance, he wears a clean suit and cheap but shiny leather shoes.

It is said that he always squats on the floor to mop the floor in the office. He has a serious obsession with cleanliness. He washes his car and bicycle every day and keeps them clean.

But he is also very particular about details, which Qi Tongwei has experienced at work. When discussing a document, even logical errors in sentences have to be corrected.

Although he doesn't curse people often, the staff of the district government office feel under great pressure when facing him, and he often asks them detailed questions that make them sweat.

“I think we should hire a few dedicated people to run the business office.

It cannot be just a temporary or part-time job, our work needs to be carried out on a regular basis rather than as a surprise operation.

The kind that disbands when it’s done.”

Chen Yu pushed his glasses up and wiped the water marks on the desk left by the previous guest's cup with the cloth in his hand.

“If you think it’s necessary, then yes.

Is the director a full-time or part-time position?

Qi Tongwei sat down on the chair in front of the desk and spread out the documents.

"The director can hold a part-time position, so I can do that too. The person in charge of the work is the executive deputy director. How about that being considered a section chief?

Two or three deputy section-level directors, and it would be best if the number of clerks is twice that of their leaders.

That's four people plus eight people, twelve people."

Chen Yu shook his head.

“No, the city won’t approve a staffing of twelve people.

In that case, the executive deputy director will also be a part-time position, and we can find a deputy director from the district government office to take the position, with a high-level position of section chief.

Two deputy section-level deputy directors, six clerks, and I will assign you three temporary workers. "

After his bargaining, the number of twelve people immediately became eight. Qi Tongwei's psychological price was actually even lower than this.

In Qi Tongwei's mind, five people are enough, but he himself needs a handle to implement various policies on the business environment.

“Okay, then what about the Enterprise Services Office?

I think at least five people are needed.”

"You may be disappointed. I asked Secretary Jin, and he said to put it directly on the sign of the Business Office. Two signs, one team."

"this?"

But in the end, Qi Tongwei didn't argue anymore. After all, it was the top leader who made the final decision, and the establishment of these eight people was already a real thing. There was no point in making a fuss.

After talking for a few sentences, Qi Tongwei realized that his goal had been achieved and wanted to get up and say goodbye, but was stopped by Chen Yu.

"District Chief Qi, please stay for a moment."

Qi Tongwei nodded, a little confused. The work should have been discussed.

Chen Yu took out a pack of cigarettes and gave one to Qi Tongwei, then took out an ashtray from the drawer. The ashtray was cleaned so clean that Qi Tongwei was reluctant to flick the ashes. Who would hide their ashtray?

"We haven't had a deep conversation yet, so there's no need to leave in a hurry."

Judging from the situation, it seemed that they were going to talk about something other than work. Although the two were not very familiar with each other, out of politeness, Qi Tongwei still sat down, lit a cigarette, and waited to see how the other party would proceed.

"Maybe the district mayor has mentioned it to you. I might be transferred to the position of deputy secretary of the district committee. I will put aside most of the daily work of the district government and concentrate on the affairs of the high-tech zone."

Qi Tongwei nodded. This conversation was somewhat inconsistent with their relationship. They were just strangers but were talking too much. Man, haven't you read the art of being thick-skinned?

“The district chief and I are actually the same kind of people, but I am more serious and always look serious.

We can actually be friends.”

The more he talked, the more something seemed wrong. Was he trying to PUA Qi Tongwei? No way. We were all old guys who just looked young. How could this possibly work?

"Mayor Chen recommended you to me. He said you are very suitable to take over the position of executive director and asked me to interview you on his behalf."

Qi Tongwei was really stunned. Mayor Chen? Which Mayor Chen? Dongou City currently has one mayor and seven deputy mayors, three of whom are surnamed Chen, but none of them have direct contact with Qi Tongwei.

"Looking at your expression, Mayor Chen probably didn't meet you. I'm talking about Mayor Chen Guangwei.

He said that although he had never met you directly, he had heard about you many times. "

Qi Tongwei was even more confused. Who was this? Which kind-hearted person would speak well of him in front of the mayor without spending any money, treating him to a meal, or saying hello? Was he a living Bodhisattva?

"District Mayor Chen, I don't quite understand. I don't know Mayor Chen."

Chen Yu reached out to stop Qi Tongwei from speaking.

"But Mayor Chen knows you. At least someone is talking about you in front of him and asking him to help you.

But Mayor Chen asked me to tell you not to try to build relationships with him and just get the job done.

He has actually been observing you for a year."

Qi Tongwei's eyes rolled. Although he still couldn't think of who it was, it should be an old leader in Beijing or a senior expert from the expert group. It seemed that this political wealth was indeed beyond imagination.

“Then let me tell you bluntly that the routine work of the district government is different from being in charge of a public security bureau or one or two offices.

The executive deputy district mayor is half a district mayor. You are responsible for all work related to the district government, not just the few lines in your hands.

The embarrassing thing is that there will always be people like you did before, who bypass the executive department and report directly to the district mayor or even the district party secretary.

The reason why I say you are half a district chief is because you are not the chief officer and you do not have the decision-making power. Whether you are in this office or outside, you must always remember that you are still a deputy.

The work you do and the things you manage cover almost all the affairs of half of the district government, so it is easy to think that you are the district mayor.

Remember, always bear in mind that you are a deputy who does the work, not the chief officer who has the final say in decision-making.

As long as you recognize this point, with your intelligence and talent, I believe you can be competent for the 22 tasks in charge of the general manager.

Don’t think it’s too much. Most of the work is done by others, but you have to keep abreast of their progress and find ways to solve their problems.

But one thing is, don't make decisions on the spot without authorization, and don't promise the masses anything without authorization, because this is decision-making power, which is not the power of a deputy.

As for the rest, you will figure it out slowly.

After the New Year, I will help you get familiar with the work."

Qi Tongwei was a little confused and went back to his office in a daze. What?

No need to run to be an official? Why did the official hat fall on my head?

This is a little different from the script in my previous life. Just because I do my job well, the mayor will appreciate me?

Just doing your job well, and you are about to become a general manager?

Qi Tongwei sat in his office and grinned foolishly.
