Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chen Guangwei is a gentle and refined middle-aged man. His subordinates have rarely heard him scold anyone loudly. His magnetic baritone hardly changes its tone, but his voice when he answered the phone at this moment sounded a little happy.

"Secretary Li, you have indeed recommended a good talent. I have observed him for a year and he is good at his job.

Then I will return the favor to you. Secretary Lu and I have recommended him for the position of executive deputy mayor of Jiangbei New District."

The person on the other end of the phone was Li Luche, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission and Director of the Provincial Public Security Department. He had been doing very well in the province during this period. The changes in the economic situation had led to an overall deterioration in public security, which had put public security departments across the country under tremendous work pressure. However, Qi Tongwei provided him with an idea.

That is to start with organizational work and to make public security police officers younger. Although their performance in major cases may not be more outstanding than that of other provinces, the overall public security data has changed greatly after he implemented the job exchange program.

The provincial party committee secretary also mentioned this to him and expressed satisfaction with his work, saying that he was able to grasp the overall situation and macro-control from a high level, which was in line with the spirit of his superiors on party building work. He planned to give him more responsibilities and might recommend him for deputy secretary. Although once he became deputy secretary, he would definitely not be able to hold the position of director of the Provincial Public Security Department concurrently.

However, this step of progress is absolutely extremely significant. Mayor Chen Guangwei once worked with Li Strategy when he held an important position in Lin'an City. At that time, Li Strategy was the director of the Lin'an Public Security Bureau and the secretary of the Municipal Political and Legal Affairs Commission, and Chen Guangwei was the secretary of the district party committee. The two were close friends and political allies.

"Old Chen, don't underestimate my junior brother, he is really capable.

As for the establishment and planning of your Jiangbei New District, he was the one making the plans behind the scenes while the district mayor was the one doing the work in the front.

You are a person who is too cautious. When the time comes, you should risk your life.

Otherwise, why would you be transferred there? Can't you take over as mayor in Lin'an?"

Chen Guangwei listened and moved the microphone to his other ear. It was covered with sweat, showing that he was not calm inside.

"Maybe. If I see an opportunity, I should take action."

"Yes, I have always said that you lack a little passion. Being an official requires that little passion.

When you need to bang the table, bang the table; when you need to yell, yell.

As the top leader, your enthusiasm will also attract your subordinates to follow suit.”

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. We'll talk about it again when the time is right.

This interesting little guy you mentioned, I still want to meet him in person next time."

"Then let's do it after the New Year. When he comes back after the New Year, I will ask him to come to Lin'an to see me.

Come and see me when the time comes.

I have a feeling he'll come in handy."

There was a brief "hmm" from the other end of the phone, and then the call was hung up. Li Luche slowly put down the phone, tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and flipped through the list of current provincial party committee standing committee members.

.............

Soon it was Chinese New Year again, and Qi Tongwei could only put down the mountain of work on hand and stretch.

"Lu Qiang, come in."

Lu Qiang's standard behavior during this period was to run around the district government with a pile of documents. Another sign was that he was wearing a police uniform. He was the only person wearing a police uniform in the district government office.

"Today is the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month. Although it is not a holiday according to regulations, I see that people throughout the city have started taking turns on duty.

We are the same. We will be on duty for two days on the fifth and sixth day of the Chinese New Year. I think you can have a day off tomorrow."

In fact, the government has not yet specified how many days off there will be during this year. There are only three days off for the entire Spring Festival. However, the implementation at the lower levels is not as strict as in northern cities. Most cities in Jiangdong Province have started a rotating duty system as early as the 23rd day of the lunar year, and the district government is the same. In the two offices next door, only one-third of the people are absent-minded and working.

"But before that, we still have to sort out the unfinished work at hand."

Lu Qiang nodded and immediately took down the documents on the cabinet with familiarity. Qi Tongwei also took out a piece of white paper and began to sort the unfinished work one by one according to importance and urgency, so as to make it easier for him to get back to work after returning from vacation.

“The district government has one piece of paper, and the public security bureau has another piece of paper.

Yes, the most urgent task is to set up the Business Office and the Enterprise Service Office. The recruitment has not been completed yet. Currently, only Li Cong has been confirmed to be the deputy director.

The second item is that after the establishment of the Business Office, we need to go to various functional departments to start research. This is not urgent yet and will be put aside for later.

 …”

Qi Tongwei spent nearly half an hour to sort out the unfinished work on hand. He simply marked the progress and asked Lu Qiang to stick the things on the glass of the desk.

The quality of office desks of this era is average. It is easy to write through the paper and make holes on the surface. Sometimes even buttons on clothes can scratch off a lot of marks.

So the common practice here is to cut a whole piece of glass and directly cover the desk. For example, under Qi Tongwei's desk are photos of Zhang Ruonan and her family, as well as a group photo when she worked at the Ministry of Public Security.

Subconsciously, Qi Tongwei avoided people and things from the Handong period.

Qi Tongwei saw that the instructions from the district government had basically been completed, so he picked up the work paper from the Public Security Bureau, put on his coat, and took Lu Qiang back to the Public Security Bureau.

"Lin Jia! Come here and notify the Party Committee members to hold a meeting at 2 pm."

Lin Jia received Qi Tongwei's instructions and hurried to notify him.

"Call Chen Jin and Yang Zhengwei over."

Lu Qiang ran out, but came back after two steps.

"Chief, Chief Chen left for the police academy this morning to report."

Qi Tongwei was a little surprised. It was almost the New Year, so why was he signing up? There must be no classes in session.

"What's there to report at this time?"

At this time Yang Zhengwei came in.

“Boss, Lao Chen got to know several leaders of the provincial police academy a few days ago and went there early to build relationships.

I'm in the city now and will be back in the afternoon."

Qi Tongwei nodded. It was normal. His subordinates also had their own things to do. Qi Tongwei did not inform him in advance, so it was normal that they did not meet.

“Take a seat, the New Year is coming soon, let’s discuss our work arrangements for the end of the year.

Lao Chen will go for training after the Chinese New Year, and you will be in charge of daily work for a few months.

You should be prepared yourself, don't complain about being too busy, and try to delegate some of the tasks on hand to your subordinates.

Regarding the part about the introduction of legal system into campus, you can give some to Zheng Chang so that he can also become familiar with it.

The school holiday ended early, and the first group of people came back, so the research report had to be completed earlier.

The provincial department will come to urge us at the beginning of the year. After the winter vacation, the first batch of high schools and technical secondary schools will start to move in.
