Rebirth of Minister Qi

Qi Tongwei waved his hand.

“No need to watch it, you can handle these small matters.

There is another very important thing. At the end of this month (January), we must fulfill the salary increase we promised last year.

I mentioned this to the Finance Bureau in August. If you ask them again, the plan will still be based on the last salary increase.

Then buy some New Year's goods and ask the Organization Department to distribute them to all cadres in the district, regardless of their level.

We are all the same.”

Chen Bo wrote it down quickly. He didn't know how much salary increase Qi Tongwei had agreed to last year. At that time, he was in the Discipline Inspection Commission, so he had to ask his subordinates to check the records at the Finance Bureau as soon as he got back.

There may not be records in this regard in other places, but the finance department must have made a budget early on. They dare not neglect the instructions of the district party committee leaders, but in the end, whether the money can be paid out depends on the instructions of the district party committee leaders.

"Yes, I understand. I will go back and confirm the situation with the finance department. They should have made a budget. If we use the two-tier standard, then the salaries of all district cadres will not put too much pressure on our finances this year.

As for New Year's goods, should we raise the standard a little bit compared to last year? After all, the results this year are encouraging."

Qi Tongwei exhaled a puff of smoke and nodded.

"Increase it a little bit, not too much, maybe 20 to 30 percent would be fine.

We are a government department, not a state-owned enterprise, so we can’t be too conspicuous, otherwise other departments in the city will have complaints.”

"District Chief, will you personally attend tomorrow's year-end safety production and fire protection meeting?"

Qi Tongwei thought about it.

"Go ahead, count me in.

Also call the district committee, and notify Secretary Dong."

Secretary Dong is the newly appointed deputy secretary of the district party committee. His duties are actually concurrent. He was originally the party secretary of the Municipal Economic and Trade Bureau, not the director. However, after taking office as the deputy secretary of the district party committee in the new district, he did not remove his responsibilities for the Economic and Trade Bureau.

This person became a part-time deputy secretary, and he also had responsibilities in other departments, which was strange.

Once he came to Jin Xinkai's office and heard that they had a good relationship in the past year. As a member of the Municipal Party Committee and a member of the Municipal Government Party Leadership Group, Jin Xinkai now has a division of labor, which is to be in charge of the Municipal Economic and Trade Bureau.

It is said that the city has an idea to move the Economic and Trade Bureau as a whole to the High-tech Zone and use this area as the main office location. As a result, some strange appointments were made here. The head of a municipal department at the deputy director level actually serves as the deputy secretary of the district party committee.

However, Qi Tongwei believes that the more important concurrent position is the deputy secretary of the Party Working Committee of the High-tech Zone, which also shows the superiors' importance of the High-tech Zone's foreign economic and trade relations.

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

Time flies. At the end of the lunar year 95, Qi Tongwei and his wife Zhang Ruonan did not return to Beijing to celebrate the New Year, but stayed in Dong'ou City to celebrate the New Year.

In the past two years, District Chief Jin Xinkai stayed behind, so of course Qi Tongwei will stay behind this year. Besides, his current duties are also that of the district chief.

After arranging the duties during the New Year, Qi Tongwei finally returned home, and the sound of various firecrackers could be heard along the way.

In Qi Tongwei's heart, this is also a kind of praise for him. The reason is very simple. The people have made money this year, so they are willing to buy some firecrackers. The more lively it is, the better it means that Qi Tongwei is doing his job.

When he arrived at the staff quarters of the Public Security Bureau, Qi Tongwei met Yang Zhengwei.

"Old Yang, come here. Have the fire brigade and the special patrol brigade been arranged? Have the emergency duty forces been arranged as well?"

Yang Zhengwei leaned close to Qi Tongwei's ear and reported loudly. The sound of firecrackers outside was one after another without a pause, so he could only talk like this.

“District head, everything has been arranged. Several teams are on patrol, and we have organized the forces of various villages and communities. The sanitation company is also on standby.

Once it’s over, clean up the discarded firecracker debris immediately to ensure there is no fire hazard.”

Qi Tongwei listened and nodded, patted Yang Zhengwei on the shoulder, and went straight upstairs.

He still found it troublesome, and even after becoming the district head, he was reluctant to leave the family compound of the Public Security Bureau. The family compound of the district committee had always been empty, and he was too lazy to live there.

The atmosphere there has always been bad. It is said that there are several retired leaders who play mahjong every day and are noisy but refuse to move away.

People come and go with gifts all day long. The tobacco and liquor stores at the door are also opened by some leaders, and their business is booming.

However, Qi Tongwei did not want to interfere in these matters. Now there are no hard and fast regulations from above requiring leading cadres not to accept cigarettes and alcohol. These are all skirting the law. If he becomes the district party secretary, he might take action to manage them, especially those old cadres. They must be driven out when the opportunity arises. They are the ones who created the bad atmosphere. You can neither talk them out of it nor beat them.

When Qi Tongwei pushed open the door, a large group of people were already sitting inside.

"Brother-in-law, you are finally here. I am starving."

Yes, the one who spoke was Zhang Ruoyao, Ruonan’s sister. The whole family was there, except for the father-in-law who had to stay in Beijing because he was on duty and did not have such a long vacation.

"Mom, Tongwei is back. Can we have dinner now?"

Zhang Ruonan couldn't wait any longer, so she put on a bright red sweater and acted coquettishly with Zhang's mother.

"Okay, okay, eat. Why did you take off your coat again? Put it on quickly."

There is no heating in Dongou City. Although it is not too cold in winter, the humidity is very high. The temperature indoors and outdoors is almost the same. You have to wear a coat, otherwise you will feel cold all over after sitting for a while.

In the kitchen, Lao Shen and his wife from the criminal police team next door were helping to cook, while Zhang's mother was watching and learning how to cook local dishes.

Jiang Daqiang and Li Bo also came in from the door, bringing with them their new girlfriends. They are now deputy directors and are very popular in the local area.

"Xiao Jiang, Xiao Li, these two are your lovers, they are so beautiful.

Where did you meet him?"

When Zhang Ruonan saw an acquaintance coming, she became particularly excited and acted like a hostess.

"Sister-in-law, they are both teachers at Jiangbei No. 1 Middle School. Last time, the school invited us to give lectures. I taught about personal safety, and Lao Li taught about criminal offenses.

We got to know each other later.”

Qi Tongwei interrupted at this time and took the initiative to pour tea for the four people.

"Brother, your life span has been shortened. Your life span has been shortened."

“Just talk nonsense and drink.

You two are good enough to teach students. Last time, I didn’t even dare to send your two articles to the newspaper.

I had to wait half an hour to see him. "

“Hahaha, that’s the article, and some other real-life examples.

Director Yang asked us to go, and we each gave a lesson. The children really liked us.”

Li Bo on the side also joined in the conversation.

“The teacher likes us, too.”

This caused everyone to burst into laughter.
