Rebirth of Minister Qi

Old Hu couldn't sit still any longer. What about the situation in Handong, what about this and that? When he was in poor health and suffering from illness, all these were empty words. He didn't care what Liang Qunfeng wanted to say. He stood up and walked out the door, no longer paying attention to Liang Qunfeng's attempts to keep him.

"Lao Liang, there's no point in talking about this, life is too short.

I don't want to deal with this anymore. My children have given me an ultimatum. Next month I will apply for retirement and go for surgery. No matter how much you fight, I won't care.

I will apply for sick leave from the provincial party committee leader tomorrow. I don’t care whether I go to the CPPCC or not. I just want to save my life first.”

Liang Qunfeng looked at Hu Yuanchao's slightly hunched back. Although he was unwilling, he also felt a little sad. He did not see him out, but walked to the desk, took out a box of antihypertensive drugs, poured out three tablets and swallowed them in one gulp, then hit the table with his fist.

..............

In the Great Hall of the Capital, police officers from the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau and the Provincial Public Security Department, together with outstanding police representatives from various provinces, stood on the stage together.

Qi Tongwei and Liu Dexu sat in the first row at the bottom, their chests straight with medals pinned on them. Next to them was Deputy Director Zhang of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry, who also had a medal pinned on his head.

Liu Dexu turned his head slightly and whispered.

"Tongwei, you said that a new property will be opened near the East Third Ring Road. Should we buy two units?"

Qi Tongwei didn't want to say anything, and didn't even dare to roll his eyes. He waited for the camera to move to another position before he seized the opportunity to speak.

"The TV station's camera is pointing right here, it's live, stop talking.

By then, the whole country will be exposed to this embarrassing situation.”

The host announced the names of the winners of the first-class merit award, and each person who was called took a step forward, raised his or her hand and saluted.

When the host mentioned Li Fu's name, Li Fu's face flushed. He walked to the front. The head of the department shook hands with him with a smile, pinned the medal on his chest, and patted his shoulder to show encouragement.

Li Fu was on the stage looking towards the leadership of Handong Province. Qi Tongwei was whispering with Liu Dexu. He thought that the department heads must be discussing him as a first-class meritorious official, and they would definitely promote him to be a leader in the future, hehe.

Of course, if he heard what the two directors said, he would not think so. Qi Tongwei saw the camera lens turned to the stage, then turned around to answer Liu Dexu's question.

"You have money? If you have money, then buy it. Go and see for yourself. Once you've made your choice, tell my aunt about it.

I will also buy two sets. We go there early now, so we can choose the same building later.

If you have three or four children, you can rent my house, so that my sister-in-law doesn’t have to look for the person directly by following the map with the property certificate.”

Liu Dexu's mouth curled up.

"You kid, you can't avoid the topic of having mistresses. Then I'll contact your aunt this afternoon, and we'll go grab four or five sets together, leaving two for you.

I just saw that they were going to build a CBD there, and I think it will have good future development.”

"Anyway, I'm not short of money. If you think it's good, then buy more. The book I wrote was made into a TV series and released this year.

There’s another book story coming out next year, and the money given here is not bad either.

Buy as much as you can while you can. I don’t have any special needs, but if there is a beautiful courtyard house, I would buy it.”

Liu Dexu was surprised.

"A beautiful courtyard house, bigger than yours, is said to be very expensive, costing several million.

Do you have so much money?

I can earn so much money by writing novels, should I write one too? "

Qi Tongwei could not help laughing, which attracted the attention of the department-level police officers next to him. He could only shut up temporarily to avoid attracting the attention of his superiors.

Liu Dexu's house-hunting trip had to be postponed. In the afternoon, he was really called by Minister Wang to the Beijing Municipal Bureau for a talk. Qi Tongwei came to the ministry to chat with old friends.

Assistant Minister Tang Minghong personally poured tea for Qi Tongwei.

"Minister Tang, you've shortened your life. This is all my fault."

"You, stop talking nonsense. I heard you're an assistant now?"

The two assistants looked at each other and laughed.

"Minister, everyone knows that you are just a transitional assistant and will be promoted directly to deputy minister when the term changes next year.

Which area will you be in charge of then?"

Tang Minghong became serious.

"This time, the leader told me that I can no longer serve as the director of the Public Security Bureau. Maybe the work I'm in charge of won't be our old territory anymore."

Qi Tongwei also sat up straight. The pace of work varies greatly depending on the department he is in charge of. The Third Bureau is Tang Minghong's old territory that he has been running for a long time. If he can continue to be in charge of the old department, then many of his subordinates will be able to use him directly.

"So which area does the leader plan to assign you to be in charge of?"

“This time you said you want to improve the treatment of the 18th Bureau (Legal Affairs Bureau) and promote comprehensive rule of law. This is the slogan you put forward back then.

Let me serve as the director of Bureau 18 concurrently as the deputy minister. "

Qi Tongwei was still humble at this time.

"Leader, please stop flattering me. Rule of law was something my mentor had proposed long ago. I just refined some slogans based on his ideas.

This is actually a good thing. These experts from our Ministry of Public Security are under the jurisdiction of the Legal Affairs Bureau. I will still work under you in the future."

"Hahahaha. What are you talking about? But you have to introduce these experts to me.

Several experts are currently holding concurrent positions and a group of new experts need to be selected.

Mayor Gao Yuliang, you, Director Hong, you guys should take up the actual duties, and we need to find some fresh blood here."

So that's what it is. As the leader of the Legal Affairs Bureau, doing a good job in legal system construction is indeed a practical need.

"That's not a problem. We also need more staff in the expert pool. When you officially take office, I will take you to see Teacher Wang to get acquainted with the area. She is one of the leaders in the legal field. Ask her to introduce some young and promising experts to us.

As for the actual leaders like Director Hong and Mayor Gao, it’s up to you to get to know them. They will definitely give you face.”

Although he is a leader, experts like Teacher Wang have rich experience and know many old leaders, but they may not necessarily give him face. If you want to meet them in person, you must be introduced by someone.

It’s different for leaders with actual positions. They understand this approach within the system and won’t show a cold shoulder easily, because a deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security is a well-known figure in the country.

"Let's talk about that next year. Let's talk about your partner first."

Qi Tongwei was really curious about the situation over there and didn't know what Minister Wang would do.

"We discussed it and decided to try to have a peaceful handover.

If they are in this situation and still want to make trouble, we will have to clean up our internal affairs by then, and we don't know when we can officially start our work.

The situation in Handong is complex and the task is arduous.”
