Rebirth of Minister Qi

The external environment has changed dramatically, the economy is developing rapidly, and the mobility of personnel is far from what it was in the past. In extraordinary times, more drastic measures must be used. Procrastination will only allow the environment to deteriorate.

When he was in office, Qi Tongwei was really afraid that if he launched a large-scale crackdown, Chen Yanshi would come to his door and point his finger at him and scold him. If the procuratorate did not support it at all, the crackdown would fall into a cycle of arresting and releasing criminals, and the criminals would become more arrogant after being released, making the people completely lose trust in the judiciary.

Therefore, Qi Tongwei was only carrying out a cold war operation indirectly instead of the severe crackdown in the past. Now that Chen Yanshi has retired, he is still full of complaints and has made himself have no friends at all levels.

At this time, Qi Tongwei felt that the time was ripe. In times of chaos, severe punishments must be used to restore the people's confidence in the judiciary and even the government.

"You mean, a full-scale street sweep?"

Qi Tongwei nodded seriously.

"The situation in Handong is now more chaotic than that in Dong'ou six years ago, with worse public security and more idle people.

On the one hand, the economic development here failed to seize opportunities and was slow, failing to find jobs for so many laid-off workers. On the other hand, management was lax.

Luzhou is doing better than Jingzhou now. There are more jobs there, the secondary industry is more developed, and it has absorbed more laid-off workers.

But the Public Security Bureau there is still just as lax. It can only be said to be slightly better than Jingzhou, but the whole province is very bad.

Just as the old man said, we must focus on economic development with one hand and crack down on these bad guys with the other hand, and we must not be lenient.

We need to do both, and both must be strong. These two aspects are not independent issues. "

Liu Dexu lit a cigarette and thought about what to do next.

"But right now, our mobilization power is still not enough. Even if Jingzhou can be done, what about other cities?"

Qi Tongwei moved the ashtray next to Liu Dexu's ashtray, and the two ashtrays were placed side by side.

"We must seek support! Find support from the Handong Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, otherwise we will have no influence as two parachuted cadres.

It’s really hard to launch such a large-scale operation.”

"Yes, I support you. I guess I can only find that person."

Qi Tongwei nodded.

"The only one who can support us is Zhao Lichun. Zhao Lichun is now more valued by the higher-ups than other provincial party committee leaders.

The reason is his motivation and vision for economic development. It is impossible for him not to see the impact of public security on economic development.

No matter how you look at it, our actions some time ago have already offended the top leader and the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, and no one else is big enough to stand up to them.

The only choice is Zhao Lichun."

Liu Dexu had heard of Zhao Lichun's name. It could be said that Zhao Lichun was very popular in Handong Province. Almost everyone believed that Zhao Lichun would be the next provincial party secretary. Quite a number of local cadres had already taken the initiative to approach Zhao Lichun.

"But this man has some flaws in his economic practices. I heard that his daughter, Zhao Hui, has been using his influence to do import and export business and sell approval documents."

When Qi Tongwei heard this, he raised his head suddenly.

"Brother Liu, you've only been here for a few months, how can you know this?"

“Hey, this is not a secret. I’m in a position where I can access a lot of intelligence from the Public Security Bureau, so it’s not surprising to hear this.

I also heard that some lower-level cadres would take the initiative to bring business to his daughter's company in order to please Zhao Lichun, which is equivalent to disguised bribery.

This person is a bit greedy."

Qi Tongwei smiled.

“Now that we know his flaws, there’s more opportunity to work together.

First of all, Zhao Lichun really wants to climb up the social ladder, and he still has high hopes for his future. Even if he is greedy for money, he will only let his daughter make profits on the edge of breaking the law, and he will not directly make money because that would be too ugly.

Moreover, we are only seeking support at work, not relying on him for promotion, if he is unwilling to support us.

Then the two of us went to the Ministry of Public Security to complain, saying that the leaders in Handong did not support our work at all and even obstructed us at every turn.

Several other provincial party committee leaders may not suffer major losses, but Zhao Lichun dreams of taking over the top position steadily, and he definitely does not want us to say bad things about him in front of the leaders.

This is a consensus of interests and the basis for cooperation.

As for whether he has financial problems, we are not trying to make money from him.

Just the four apartments in two communities within the Third Ring Road that I bought for you might double in value in two years.

Those who take the risk of taking illegal money from these officials will have a bright future ahead of them.”

When Liu Dexu thought about the procedures for the four houses that Qi Tongwei had helped him handle and the soaring housing prices, he couldn't help but smile.

It's only been a few months, but the price has increased by several hundred yuan per square meter. In a few years, it will definitely double. It is indeed much more efficient than corruption.

“Who would have thought that housing prices are so crazy, rising every month, and making money is more efficient than corruption.

Last time, you said you wanted to buy a few houses in Jiangzhou, the Magic City. I have already asked my father-in-law to borrow money. They saw that the price of my house in Beijing was increasing rapidly, so they lent me more than one million yuan.

Next time, ask your wife's relative to help you buy a few houses and raise the price."

“Hahahaha, no problem.

So, Brother Liu, we don't have any financial pressure. We just need to cooperate with him at work. There is no need to get involved in other things. Promotion does not depend on him.

Rather, it was Minister Wang's affirmation of our work performance that was the driving force behind our promotion.

A man does not rely on others to become great. We do not rely on him for money and power, so how could we be dragged down by him? "

"Okay, I'll first prepare the action plan, the documents to be issued, and the tasks to be broken down into different cities.

Political negotiations are your strength. Get ready. Let's go together and talk to Governor Zhao about cooperation."

The two reached a consensus and quickly got into the state. Qi Tongwei also stood up and returned to his Jingzhou City Public Security Bureau, where there were still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with.

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.
