Rebirth of Minister Qi

Liu Dexu thought about it and it seemed so. He couldn't grab the important departments, so there was no point in taking the remaining ones like the Food and Drug Administration and the Exit and Entry Administration.

Comparing the superiors and subordinates in this way, the Economic Investigation Corps can also be chosen. At the same time, it can also express their goodwill to Old Hu. They can't always go against the leader, because if they do that, they won't be able to do their work and will just be fighting among themselves all day long.

After the two of them finished their discussion, Qi Tongwei went to negotiate the terms with Old Hu.

Qi Tongwei acted quickly. It was a rare opportunity for him to come to the Public Security Bureau, so he naturally chose a good time. It was not difficult to persuade Liu Dexu, and persuading Old Hu should also be a common need for both parties, so they went in both directions.

Qi Tongwei walked towards the director's office at a moderate pace. This time, the cadres he met on the roadside stopped on their own initiative, moved to the sides, and greeted Qi Tongwei.

"Hello, Director Qi."

Qi Tongwei did not completely ignore them like he did last time. Instead, he smiled and nodded at them, responding to their greetings. This was a signal that he was not here to quarrel.

"Hello."

"Hello."

Compared to the last time when Qi Tongwei was basically isolated in the hall, this time everyone's attitude was much more respectful. The reason was very simple. Qi Tongwei had successfully demonstrated his skills and his presence as a leader through these political struggles. Didn't you see that he took over the entire Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau?

At that time, Qi Tongwei's authority only covered a few departments that were not very obedient. Old Hu could easily sideline Qi Tongwei without any effort. Who would really take Qi Tongwei, an airborne cadre with no foundation and who was squeezed out by the top leader, seriously?

But this time, Qi Tongwei came back again and still walked on this road, and everyone's attitude towards him was completely different from last time.

However, these are all passing clouds to Qi Tongwei. The cadres within the system are almost all fence-sitters. They respect whoever is in power. What they respect is power, not a person.

Qi Tongwei came to the door of Lao Hu's office with a smile. There were many cadres queuing in the lounge nearby waiting to report on their work. When they saw Qi Tongwei coming, they subconsciously moved away.

"Director Qi, you go first."

Their vigilance was suddenly activated, and many people's hair stood on end, full of caution.

In particular, the director's secretary who was standing at the door swallowed unconsciously when he saw Qi Tongwei coming over and hurried forward.

"Young comrade, is Governor Hu free now?"

The secretary was very nervous when asked this question. Will the call be made directly like last time? What should he do? He was anxious.

But he still didn't dare to let Qi Tongwei wait like this, so he answered quickly.

"Director Qi, please wait a moment. I will go in and inform the director right away."

After saying that, he ran away, completely losing his usual calmness.

Old Hu was discussing work matters with a member of the Party Committee inside. When he saw his secretary rushing in rashly, he immediately frowned.

"What's going on? Can't you knock on the door?"

"Director Qi is here. He wants to see you."

The secretary finally managed to utter a coherent sentence. The party committee member and Old Hu looked at each other and immediately stood up and prepared to leave. He didn't want to get involved if this place turned into a battlefield.

Both sides are big shots, but he has no background.

"Director, I'll be leaving first."

Old Hu could only close his eyes and nod, his expression a little helpless. He also felt that Qi Tongwei came to quarrel.

Obviously, the series of gestures Qi Tongwei made outside, such as waiting for people to go in and report, were all ignored by them. It was really because Qi Tongwei's last outburst was too sudden, too unruly, and too unethical.

Old Hu and other cadres in the department were turned into frightened birds. No one liked to be involved in the leadership struggle. The fight between the two big ones would most likely affect the little guys nearby.

"Let Director Qi come in."

The secretary received the instructions, calmed his breathing, went out and said to Qi Tongwei with a smile.

"Director Qi, please come in."

Qi Tongwei saw the party committee member who had just come out and was also the deputy director, but they were not close, so he simply nodded as a greeting.

After entering the office, Qi Tongwei saw Old Hu with his arms folded across his chest, looking at him with sharp eyes, and he suddenly understood.

"The last time I fought him, it was too sudden. This is an unconscious state of alert. Crossing his arms across his chest is a psychological defensive posture. This shows that even if Old Hu faces Qi Tongwei, he doesn't have the confidence to attack now."

After figuring this out, Qi Tongwei smiled slightly, walked to the desk, pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Governor Hu, I'm here to report on my work."

After saying that, Qi Tongwei put the document in his hand on the table, which is the daily work of the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, which is about changing clothes.

Old Hu had no idea what Qi Tongwei was up to, but seeing that he didn't look as aggressive as last time, he took the document and started reading.

"Director Qi has done a great job in carrying out the specific work of the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau."

Qi Tongwei burst out laughing after hearing this awkward conversation.

"Hey, Governor Hu, actually I came here to submit an application to you."

"You said."

"Governor Hu also knows that my main job now is the Jingzhou Public Security Bureau, but the department also lets me take charge of three important departments: the Prison Management Team, the Legal Team, and the Provincial Detention Center."

Qi Tongwei did not mention the Public Security Corps, because it was not something that could be brought up for negotiation. He would never give up the Public Security Corps. The power of the position in the Public Security Corps was greater than that of the three departments combined. In addition, the people in those three departments were not promoted by Qi Tongwei, so if he were in charge of them, he would have to worry about his subordinates doing something to him.

"Let me put it bluntly. I now hope to focus my work on the Jingzhou Public Security Bureau and the Public Security Corps. The other three departments are a bit overwhelmed. Governor Hu can transfer them to other department leaders."

Old Hu was really surprised this time. How could he be willing to spit out the meat in his mouth? He would not have such awareness. But when he thought about it, most people in these three departments listened to Old Hu.

It was the same whether Qi Tongwei was in charge or not. He had no actual control over the three departments, so he might as well give them back to Old Hu.

This was a signal for peace, which Old Hu keenly caught and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He really didn't dare to fight any further. At his age, if he continued to fight, it would only leave a very bad impression on the leaders of the higher-ups' committees, and Liang Qunfeng might not be able to cover it up.

It is time to seize this peace signal, which is given by the two young people on their own initiative. Perhaps some benefits can be gained. Old Hu quickly made clear what he should do next.
