Rebirth of Minister Qi

However, Qi Tongwei's changeable mood today once again ignited public opinion within the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau. He actually put the female director of the Police Security Department who had a strong background into solitary confinement. In addition, the previous director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau who was put in solitary confinement was transferred to the Provincial Detention Center. Now the news has been spread in the bureau that anyone who talks back to Qi Tongwei will be implicated.

The result was solitary confinement and being transferred to some remote location, which made the middle-level leaders in the entire bureau a little worried. Many people called Deputy Director Ma to complain, even including his predecessor Chen Yanshi.

Deputy Director Ma thought that he must go and persuade this young and impetuous leader. He was too overbearing and it would easily cause chaos in the overall situation.

In order to prevent Chen Yanshi from interfering in the affairs of the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau and making the situation hopeless, Deputy Director Ma had to come up and try to persuade the leader himself.

"Director Ma, have some tea."

Qi Tongwei poured a cup of tea himself instead of asking his secretary to make it for him, as a sign of respect.

Director Ma looked at Qi Tongwei's smiling face, thought of the domineering tyrant image of Qi Tongwei in the rumors, and shook his head secretly.

Qi Tongwei sat down on the sofa and relaxed, knowing that Director Ma came to persuade him and had no other ideas. Director Ma was only thinking about retiring to the CPPCC and was very cooperative in his work, which sent a very positive signal to Qi Tongwei.

Director Ma wanted to say something else, but Qi Tongwei stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Director Ma, I know what you want to say, many things are not that simple.

I have my own purpose in doing things, and I don’t have time to talk to many people one by one.

I came from a ministry and was under tremendous pressure from my superiors.

The current situation in Jingzhou is really worrying. The most serious problem is not the social security issue. To be honest, after a few crackdowns, the streets would be much cleaner.

However, this is only a temporary solution and does not address the root cause. Severe crackdowns can only work temporarily.

What really worries me is that the police officers of Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau have no enthusiasm in doing their work, as if they are afraid to do anything and will be held accountable at any time.

I can feel that they dare not do anything and have no motivation to do anything. This is the reality of lazy politics.

This should not be the status of a Public Security Bureau cadre.

Director Ma, I am not criticizing the way the management did things in the past. To put it bluntly, the way the management did things in the past was in the 1970s and 1980s.

The social structure back then was different from what it is now.

Director Ma, you can see how fast the economy has developed and how fast the social structure has changed since the 1990s.

But our police officers are still as lazy as before. They are afraid of being held accountable and have no enthusiasm to do their work.

Let me be frank, if everyone remains in this state, even if the streets are temporarily quieted down by severe crackdowns, new evil forces will immediately emerge, because new bad guys will soon continue to test our bottom line.

Once they find out that the police are still lazy, the situation will return to the current state immediately."

Director Ma nodded as he listened. It was not that he had no idea. The approach he and Chen Yanshi used was indeed effective in the 1970s and 1980s. At that time, there were not so many complicated situations and not so many economic interests. The government's reputation improved a lot because the police officers were disciplined more strictly.

But the situation took a sharp turn for the worse in the 1990s. The old system was simply unable to cope and could not keep up with the situation, but they did not know how to change.

Qi Tongwei put the matter on the table in order to seek the support of Director Ma. In return, Qi Tongwei has made it clear that he will help him enjoy the treatment of a full-level department head in the CPPCC.

"I understand, Chief. I will support you. Maybe I am really old."

Qi Tongwei stretched out his hand and motioned for Deputy Director Ma to shake hands.

“Director Ma, if you can cooperate with me, it will be of great help to me.

I have also negotiated with the Municipal CPPCC, and you will be able to go there and enjoy the treatment of a full-time department head at the beginning of next year."

Qi Tongwei was no pushover and directly stated the price. It would be best if you cooperated, but I can do it without you. However, if you cooperated, I would help you get good treatment, otherwise there would be no negotiation.

"As far as I know, Minister Liu once worked in the provincial department. At that time, Secretary Liang Qunfeng was the director of the department."

Qi Tongwei nodded. He could easily guess that it was just a few people trying to do some small things, which seemed very petty.

"Well, Director Ma, I heard that your son also works in our bureau. What level is he now?"

Deputy Director Ma knew that this was an exchange, but he still cheered up. This young director was very hardworking and would promote people as soon as he was told to.

"His name is Ma Yunbo, and he is currently serving as deputy commander of the Narcotics Control Bureau (at the level of a section chief)."

Qi Tongwei nodded.

"Then let him go to the Police Security Department and be a deputy director (that is, deputy minister. The rank of this department is the same as that of a department. The minister is a director and the deputy is a deputy director). Actually, he will be responsible for the 99 uniform replacement.

If he does well, I will transfer him to the front line. If he doesn’t do well, I won’t be polite either.”

"Thank you, Chief. It's a great blessing that you gave this kid a chance."

In fact, Ma Yunbo is older than Qi Tongwei, he is already 32 years old. However, within the system, those with higher ranks are regarded as elders, this is an unchanging truth.

If Ma Yunbo met Qi Tongwei in private, he might even call him Uncle Qi.

When Deputy Director Ma called Ma Yunbo to his office, Ma Yunbo still looked stubborn.

“I don’t want to go. Isn’t this a transfer to a civilian position?

I'm going to fight the drug dealers with a gun."

This guy actually refused the promotion, which made Deputy Director Ma very angry.

"You little brat, what do you know?

The job of hosting 99 dress-up is the honor of your whole life.

Among us police officers, some are at the forefront of the fight, while others are supporting us from behind.

Besides, you have been working in drug enforcement for several years, while our director only worked in drug enforcement for one year.

This kind of job cannot be done for long and requires frequent transfers."

"The director has also worked in drug enforcement? When? Wasn't he a paratrooper from above?

I heard from many leaders that he knew nothing and had a very bad temper, and would put anyone who talked back to him in solitary confinement.

He is a complete tyrant."

"Shut up! The director's today is all his own fault.

He was shot three times when he solved the big case in Lincheng.

Later he went to work as a clerk in a ministry. Now he came back to turn the situation in Jingzhou around.

What do you know! "

"Oh, I see. Don't be angry. I'll go. Is he at the deputy director level?"

"No, it's the acting deputy minister at the section level. It's a high position with low qualifications. You don't have enough years of service yet. You can only be promoted to deputy director level next year. You're acting first."
