Rebirth of Minister Qi

Old Hu immediately smiled, revealing his cigarette-yellowed front teeth.

"Is that so? I was originally thinking of giving Director Qi more responsibilities. Now Director Qi is in charge of the Municipal Bureau, which is indeed much more important than other tasks."

This is extremely hypocritical, but the atmosphere is peaceful now and it would be inappropriate to continue to argue.

So Qi Tongwei also smiled and responded.

"It's okay. Governor Hu can give the new burden to Director Liu. Director Liu has been very motivated in his work recently.

He is young and strong, and it is the prime of his life.”

This is the bargaining opportunity that Qi Tongwei took the initiative to offer. I can hand over the work under my charge, but in return, I will have to give Director Liu more responsibilities.

Old Hu pondered for a few seconds and finally figured it out. It seemed like it was too much to ask these two young men to hand over their duties for nothing.

"However, Director Liu is very busy and has a lot of work to do."

This sentence looks like a rejection, but it is actually bargaining. He is waiting for Qi Tongwei to speak first before he can bargain.

"Then, the Criminal Investigation Corps will be assigned to Director Liu. This will coincide with the Cold War Operation of our Jingzhou City Bureau, and we can carry out this operation together."

"Oh, the work of the Criminal Investigation Corps is very professional. I plan to take charge of it myself for the time being. When the time is right, I can assign Director Liu to make overall arrangements."

In short, this won’t work. This is my biological son, the apple of my eye. This absolutely won’t work. I have to change him. Change him.

Qi Tongwei didn't plan to argue about it for too long. They were all senior leaders and he couldn't be as serious as the old man in the vegetable market.

"Then I won't say anything empty. I will give the newly established Economic Investigation Corps to Director Liu to be in charge. I won't plant mines in the three departments I hand over."

Old Hu was a little skeptical, because Qi Tongwei had already transferred someone to the provincial detention center, but it was said that he was transferred there because he had a quarrel with him. Whether it was a bomb or not still needed further judgment.

But now that things have come to this, Old Hu also understood the bottom line and intentions of both parties. Qi Tongwei wanted the Economic Investigation Corps from the very beginning.

"Well."

Old Hu stood up and extended his right hand. Qi Tongwei also stood up and shook hands with him.

"Governor Hu is wise. I will go back to the Jingzhou Municipal Bureau first. There is still a lot of work to do there."

.........

Two days later, the Public Security Department held a party committee meeting. Qi Tongwei even wondered if Old Hu was afraid that the two young people would change their minds quickly and wanted to confirm his gains as soon as possible.

But in fact, Qi Tongwei guessed wrong, because although his behavior of walking into Lao Hu's office a few days ago showed goodwill everywhere, it still caused a big disturbance among the cadres below. Everyone was worried that the Public Security Department would once again fall into the vortex of internal strife.

If leaders engage in internal fighting, it will be reflected to the lower-level cadres, and the greatest possibility is that various violations will be uncovered, and the cadres involved will be transferred from important positions at best, or lose their jobs and end up in jail at worst.

Old Hu was very keen to notice this sign. In order to prevent the cadres below from continuing to have wild thoughts and spreading various rumors, he quickly convened this meeting to declare to all the cadres of the Public Security Department that the struggle in the Party Committee had ended and to calm people's hearts.

If people's hearts are unstable, it will lead to many consequences, and ultimately affect his control over the overall situation as the director of the department. If even normal work cannot be carried out, it will fall into the eyes of the provincial party committee, and they will have to transfer him to stabilize the situation.

For every top leader, the first priority is to control the overall situation and ensure that his political propositions can be implemented smoothly. If the top leader is entangled in political struggles, he will definitely not last long, and his superiors will not tolerate it in any way.

Liu Dexu turned on the microphone and spoke, tapped the microphone twice, and winked at Qi Tongwei, which made Qi Tongwei speechless.

Over the past few months, Liu Dexu has begun to gain a foothold in the Handong Provincial Public Security Department. His only weakness is the lack of strong support from the provincial party committee leaders. After all, he is an airborne cadre and does not have a personal relationship with the provincial party committee leaders like local cadres.

Although the current top leader of Handong Province and Governor Zhao Lichun both met with him in person and expressed their approval of his work, they also expressed their concerns about Qi Tongwei's radical methods of doing things.

But Liu Dexu was very clear that everything Qi Tongwei did was planned for the long term. In terms of political wisdom, Qi Tongwei was definitely superior to him. Moreover, Qi Tongwei was a close confidant of the ministers above him. He represented the will of the leader in everything and was also Liu Dexu's most reliable ally.

If Qi Tongwei criticized himself after being told these words by the top leaders, he would be really out of his mind. He is not a newly graduated civil servant, so how could he still believe the promises made by his leaders?

In official circles, words are tools and do not represent one’s true stance. Only the political interests behind them represent everyone’s true stance.

This also means that Liu Dexu's wholehearted efforts to win over Qi Tongwei are the basis for him to truly gain a foothold in Handong, rather than a few empty words from the provincial party committee leaders. What if they retire directly when the term of office changes in more than a year? Then all the promises and threats will be empty words.

"We are now convening the fourth quarter regular meeting of the Party Committee of the Handong Provincial Public Security Department. The agenda is as follows.

First, it is still the comprehensive replacement task assigned by the Ministry of Public Security. The first thing to do is to replace the police uniforms. The time node is mid-December. I hope that the leaders in charge will urge all departments to cooperate with the replacement task as soon as possible.

second. .."

A Public Security Department is in charge of the public security work of the entire province, managing more than 100,000 regular police officers and nearly 200,000 joint defense team members (auxiliary police) in the province, and managing the security of tens of millions of people. This task is certainly not an easy one.

Although most of the public security bureaus in cities and prefectures adopt a model where the local party committee and government are in charge, that is, at least half of the personnel power and most of the financial power are under the jurisdiction of the local government, all kinds of business guidance, personnel training and deployment, etc. are fully managed by the higher-level public security organs.

Dual leadership is not empty talk, it carries with it great responsibilities. The Party Committee meeting lasted more than an hour. Qi Tongwei did not get distracted this time, nor did he do small actions like drawing cartoons. Instead, like other Party Committee members, he focused on the meeting and truly regarded himself as a member of the Public Security Department.

The other committee members were a little uncomfortable because in their impression, when Qi Tongwei arrived, the meeting would turn into a battlefield. In their eyes, Qi Tongwei was a troublemaker.

But the atmosphere of today's meeting is so good that it makes people feel uncomfortable. Could it be the calm before the storm?

Old Hu took the initiative to raise important issues.
