Rebirth of Minister Qi

Lu Qiang ran over quickly, and Qi Tongwei said a few words when he saw him.

"Be more stable. You are no longer a secretary. You are in charge of an investigation team."

Lu Qiang immediately stood firm, straightened his police appearance, and saluted Qi Tongwei.

"Yes, Director Qi."

Lu Qiang is a man of few words and does things prudently. Qi Tongwei has been with him for four years and has always found him easy to use. He has also asked for his family's opinion. His newlywed wife has advised him to seize this opportunity and even came with him. Qi Tongwei arranged for his wife to drive for Zhang Ruonan. Yu Xiaoming's wife has to stay in her hometown to take care of the children, so it is unrealistic for her to travel around.

“The data from Handong Province is abnormal, with frequent public security incidents in the three prefecture-level cities. It is unknown whether this is caused by a wave of laid-off workers or other reasons.

In short, the department leaders are not satisfied with the public security work in Handong Province, and they may have to send you down this time.

Did you receive any notification from Handong Province about the case that happened in Jingzhou City last time?"

Qi Tongwei was surprised by Lu Qiang's answer.

“After receiving the notification, according to the procedure, we should go down to supervise and even directly participate in the case.

But Handong may have a different opinion. Just now, Director Tang told us not to set off and wait for feedback from Handong. "

Qi Tongwei frowned because Minister Wang, who was in charge of the case, called him in the morning and asked him to come over, but Director Tang intervened in the case.

Qi Tongwei took out his mobile phone. Nowadays, mobile phones have more functions than those in previous years and are smaller in size. The signal in Beijing is much better than in Dong'ou City. He doesn't need to use a mobile phone every day, so he can just bring a pager.

"Hello, Director Tang, are you in the office? I have something to report.

Okay, I'll be there soon."

After hanging up the phone, Qi Tongwei gave instructions.

"Ask your secretary to bring the case materials over. I'll be waiting in Director Tang's office."

I asked Lu Qiang to work part-time as a secretary. I originally wanted to ask him to deliver the goods directly, but I suddenly realized that it was not against the rules. This is not Jiangbei New District, where he has the final say and others have to look at his face.

In a ministry, you have to follow the rules in everything. For example, when Qi Tongwei worked in the ministry five years ago, there were titles such as chief secretary, second secretary, and third secretary. Even a deputy director had so many secretaries.

But now the higher-ups have issued a document to rectify the non-compliant titles of various ministries and commissions. There is only one secretary, and the others are all clerks of the general affairs department, etc.

To sum up, in the past when he was in Jiangbei New District, Qi Tongwei could always point fingers at the country with his belly sticking out, but now in the Ministry of Public Security, he has to be ready at all times with his hands crossed in front of his lower abdomen, listening to others' lectures, and all he can say is yes, yes, right, yes, and the leader has a good idea.

Soon Qi Tongwei arrived at Tang Minghong's office. Tang Minghong had been the director for more than two years. There had been rumors that he might go to a certain province to serve as the Public Security Bureau Director, then concurrently as the Deputy Governor and then climb up to the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.

But it's just a rumor now. Seeing Qi Tongwei coming in, Tang Minghong took off his reading glasses.

"Tongwei, are you here to ask about the Handong case?"

Qi Tongwei nodded.

"Things are a little complicated. I just received a notice from the top leader. Let me call Minister Wang to save you from any embarrassment."

After saying that, Director Tang picked up the phone and called Minister Wang. In order to avoid suspicion, Qi Tongwei took the initiative to walk to the sofa area and did not listen to the content.

Qi Tongwei didn't come back until the call was over.

“I also received a temporary notice. The Discipline Inspection Commission sent us a letter asking us not to go down.

Once the leaders have communicated with the Discipline Inspection Commission, they will notify us what to do.

The case in Jingzhou City, Handong Province may be a bit complicated, as it involves the relatives of the city's Public Security Bureau chief. The Discipline Inspection Commission originally wanted to hand it over to the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission, but the higher-ups don't quite trust Handong, where factionalism has been a serious problem recently.

Several anti-corruption and economic policies seem to be going against the higher authorities. There may be problems with the Handong Provincial Party Committee.

This is not simply a public security issue and requires collaboration among multiple departments.

However, we cannot be too radical in our actions. We can crack down severely in order to maintain public security, but we must be cautious when it comes to senior officials. Once the enthusiasm of local officials to do their work is dampened, we may miss the great opportunity of reform and opening up in recent years.

You should also feel deeply about this.”

Qi Tongwei certainly understood that when he first got to know Zhao Mengsheng, it was because he was following orders from his superiors to come and cool down the economy of Jiangdong Province and give a warning to the grassroots cadres who were acting recklessly. Even so, many people did not understand and felt that this was pouring cold water on the good situation of reform and opening up.

There is not so much factionalism in Jiangdong Province. Many of the top cadres in Handong Province are locals. They are quite united towards the outside world and are very stubborn in doing things. In the past, it was because the economic development was too slow.

Therefore, Zhao Lichun, then secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, was vigorously promoted. Now Zhao Lichun has become the provincial governor. He is famous for his radicalism in economics, but at the same time, he and the current Handong Provincial Party Committee team have begun to go against the policies of their superiors.

This is the advantage of working in the ministry. You can directly get information about the top leaders of each province, and even the central leaders' views on the provincial party committees and governments. Everyone can also spread the news in detail.

Some of these may be groundless, but it is common knowledge that the central government is dissatisfied with the Handong Provincial Party Committee. It's just that the place is too closed, and the provincial party secretary has to reach the age limit to serve a full term, and the provincial governor Zhao Lichun is very capable in managing the economy.

The higher-ups are a little cautious about the Handong Provincial Party Committee and are afraid to take action against them, so they just transfer people away. These two people will directly join forces with the lower-level cadres to disrupt the economic development situation.

"Have a cigarette, no need to rush.

At the last ministerial meeting, the Handong issue was mentioned. The minister was quite dissatisfied with the work of the Handong Provincial Public Security Department and had been wanting to replace it.

However, the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, Liang Qunfeng, was quite tough and even hung up Minister Wang's phone, which made Minister Wang very angry.

I have a proposal with Minister Wang to force a personnel change at the Handong Provincial Public Security Department."

Having said this, Qi Tongwei stopped smoking.

"Then I'll go?"

“That’s pretty smart, but it’s not just you, your old friend Liu Dexu is also there.

You two should form a team. This time we are going to find a gap and make a breakthrough in the Handong Province Public Security System.

I want to see how long Secretary Liang can keep being so stubborn."

If Minister Wang met Qi Tongwei, he would definitely not speak so bluntly. He is the leader, so his words would definitely be vague and full of compliments. However, Tang Minghong is an old friend, and Qi Tongwei used to be his secretary.
