Rebirth of Minister Qi

"I have other plans for the boss. This can be considered as an exercise for him. I'll have him report the details to you before I come back.

You go talk to him, make arrangements, and try to get him to go there and get the full set of original approval documents. Given his connections and qualifications, this should not be difficult.

Then I went to the provincial government to handle the matter. In fact, there was no need for re-examination. Just adding a few supplementary letters would be enough.

Don’t look for the original contractors anymore. Change a few. I will ask two from the provincial capital to go over and bid together.

We will try to hold the bidding in March, complete the preliminary preparations in April, and start construction in May.”

Qi Tongwei also wrote down Jin Xinkai's arrangements on a note, and at the same time thought about the image of Deputy Secretary Dong. However, he had little contact with him and did not have any impression of him.

Since Jin Xinkai recommended Deputy Secretary Dong, he must have something outstanding. At least, they have confidence in him to accomplish this task.

For such a shelved project, not every cadre can get the original approval document immediately after taking it over. If Qi Tongwei asked his deputy division-level subordinates to go there, they would most likely be coaxed back. They do not have enough prestige and rank at the municipal level, so what if the municipal departments ignore them?

Then they took the opportunity to destroy the documents. When asked, they said that since the project had been shelved and needed to be re-examined, it was rejected by the higher-ups. According to regulations, it was feasible to directly destroy it or transfer it to the archives management department.

Therefore, a senior cadre at the deputy director level would be very useful at this time.

Most of the connections of deputy-division-level cadres are still in their respective fields, such as various lines, or within the district or county where they are located, because their influence is limited.

However, the deputy director level is the top leader of the party and government of a municipal department or district or county. They are connected with deputy-department level cadres and cadres of the same level as themselves, which means that the level of their personal connections is different.

Qi Tongwei now has some understanding of this point. In the past, the cadres who came to him were mainly people from within the new district, or cadres from the new district and the public security line.

However, after he became the chief official of a district or county, the level of the department heads he came into contact with became higher, and deputies from the municipal government also took the initiative to contact him, so his overall circle of friends became different.

Qi Tongwei thought about it and decided to agree.

"Okay, Standing Committee Member Jin, I will be in charge of contacting Deputy Secretary Dong before you come back.

When you come back, you have to do this yourself, after all, it is a job assigned to you by the municipal government."

“What are you talking about? Standing Committee Member Jin is such a strange title.

Okay, I'll call the boss, explain everything clearly, and ask him to prepare early.

You should also take some time to meet with him and get a grasp of the progress of things.

Just like that, the old man asked me to have dinner. "

Qi Tongwei wanted to say "Happy New Year to the old man on my behalf", but the person on the other end of the phone hung up, so he had to give up.

Looking out the window, he saw all kinds of firecrackers starting to sound again, indicating that night was approaching. Qi Tongwei threw the work documents on the table, grabbed his coat, and went home for dinner.

...........

The first month of the year isn't over yet.

There are guests coming to the High-tech Zone Government Building.

Qi Tongwei was making tea himself, using the tea tray given by Li Wei.

The person sitting opposite took a sip with enjoyment on his face.

"Chief Qi, I haven't seen you for just a few months, and you've been promoted from deputy to full-time. That's incredible. Young people are incredible."

Sitting opposite was Academician Huang from the Ministry of Water Resources. This time he was officially leading a team to assist in the construction of the Qinshan Hydropower Station.

"Don't be polite, Mr. Huang. I am nothing. Just treat me as a clerk. I have always been a clerk for the masses."

"District Chief Qi's speaking skills are getting higher and higher.

This tea smells really good, is it from the Cixin Garden in Wuyi Mountain?"

Qi Tongwei poured another small cup.

"Mr. Huang has a good eye. This was given to me by a classmate from the ZY Party School.

I am a rough guy, I can't tell whether it tastes good or not. If you like it, here's half a catty, you can take it back later."

"How embarrassing is this?"

Qi Tongwei had long seen that this academician was not an incorruptible expert who was only concerned with academics. He also had worldly preferences. When he first came in May and June, he ate two knife fish by himself. It was clear that he was a person who loved pleasure. The precious tea that Qi Tongwei sent just hit the spot.

So, after some reluctance, Academician Huang finally accepted Qi Tongwei's tea. In fact, in Qi Tongwei's cabinet, only two kilograms were given by his Party School classmate Xu Chang, and the remaining ten kilograms were bought by him at Cixinyuan after asking Qi Tongwen to do so.

It's just that this reason is good. Sha Ruijin said it casually back then. How high is the B-level? It was given to me by my old comrade-in-arms. It's a precious tea from such and such place.

Qi Tongwei also learned to explain it this way. Whenever someone asked him, he would say that it was given to him by his classmates from the ZY Party School. When others heard this, they thought, you have been to the ZY Party School, you must have a strong background. Your old classmates also gave you expensive tea, it seems that you have a wide network of contacts there.

At this time Qi Tongwei took the opportunity to suggest that since you like it so much, I only have two kilograms or one kilogram here, and I would give you one or half a kilogram. That would be so nice of me to you.

In fact, Qi Tongwei still has a pile of these teas, weighing more than ten kilograms, in his cabinet.

"Mr. Huang, let's go to the conference room. I think they should have come up with a specific plan."

Yes, the teams under the two men were having a fierce battle in the office, and the higher-ups had officially approved the construction of this hydroelectric power station.

All parties were holding design drawings and other related projects to discuss and fight for their own interests. The leaders of the two teams tacitly came to the small office to drink tea and chat.

In the meeting room, a group of cadres looked a little tired. They had been discussing for the whole morning.

Qi Tongwei came in and started speaking.

"Old Jin, what happened?

Have you confirmed the various compensations, and what other requirements you have."

The compensation was naturally for occupying the forest and mountain land of the local villagers, which also had terraced fields. As soon as the news came out, the villagers in the two nearby villages planted trees frantically and even opened up terraced fields, just to get more money when they were compensated.

This matter was reported to Qi Tongwei at the time, but Qi Tongwei did not take it seriously. Although he asked Jin Dahai to criticize the behavior of some villagers, he actually knew that the villagers who still lived in the mountains at this time must have some difficulties in life, plus the population was not large and the area was not that large.

Even if there is a little more compensation, it will only be a few hundred thousand or a million at most. For such a large project, it is only a small part of the funds, but for the villagers, it is money that can improve their lives.

However, in order to control unhealthy practices, Jin Dahai went up to limit the scope himself. Otherwise, the villagers would end up receiving some more and some less, which would cause unfairness, and there would be disputes and troubles afterwards.
