Rebirth of Minister Qi

The top leader of the provincial party committee also waited for a while and found out that what Zhao Lichun proposed was only the position of Public Security Bureau Director, which did not include deputy provincial governor. Although some leaders had greeted him, he was the top leader with a noble status. Why should he take the initiative to step forward? His idea was the same as Zhao Lichun's. If someone took the initiative to propose it, he would vote in favor or ask for their opinions. Even if he offended others, he could put the blame on others and give an explanation to the leaders who greeted him.

"Comrades, do you have any other opinions?"

The top leader looked around at his deputies, and seeing that no one took the initiative to speak, he called out their names.

"Secretary Liang, as the person in charge of the political and legal line, please explain."

Liang Qunfeng was in a bad mood. If he had a choice, he would have wanted to vote against it directly, but he had to hold back and could only put forward his opinions based on his responsibilities as the leader.

"The candidate proposed by Governor Zhao is very suitable, and I agree with him."

It's over, just this one sentence, he was so frugal with words that he didn't even bother to say the official jargon. It seemed that he was not in a very good mood. The Organization Minister sitting below didn't know whether he should speak or not. The greeting he gave was to recommend him for the position of vice governor, or to wait, as he was ranked low and the leaders above him had no clear opinions.

However, at this time, Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee Secretary Wu Zhensheng spoke up. Another deputy secretary above him was now also serving as Minister of United Front Work. It was said that he would soon be transferred to the neighboring province of Hanxi to serve as governor. Someone had already made arrangements with him that as long as Jingzhou performed better this year, he would be allowed to take over and serve as deputy secretary.

This is also the biggest reason why Wu Zhensheng has such a good attitude towards capable officials like Qi Tongwei. Personal impressions and other things are secondary. The main reason is that Qi Tongwei is really capable of doing things. He managed the Public Security Bureau to a higher level in just a few months without any major internal conflicts. While maintaining the stability of the Public Security Bureau, he also reversed the public security situation in Jingzhou City.

The Organization Minister was originally planning to speak as it was his duty, but Wu Zhensheng interrupted and spoke. His qualifications and ranking were higher than the Organization Minister's, so the Organization Minister could only swallow back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

“Secretary, Governor, I personally believe that responsibilities should be unified, especially the stability maintenance responsibility of the Provincial Public Security Department is very important.

Originally, the public security situation in our Handong Province lagged behind among the six eastern provinces, and the leaders above have criticized it many times.

In order to show how much we value this work, I still think that while appointing Comrade Liu Dexu as the Director of the Public Security Department, we can also recommend him to serve concurrently as Deputy Governor.

This will be of great help to our stability maintenance work.”

After this statement was made, the Organization Minister wanted to say something in agreement, but when he glanced over, he saw Liang Qunfeng, thinking that this old man was about to cause trouble, so he shut his mouth again.

Sure enough, Liang Qunfeng directly bypassed the other speakers.

"Secretary Wu, I personally do not agree with this behavior of forcing things to grow.

Comrade Liu Dexu is an excellent comrade. I believe he will shine as the Public Security Department Director.

However, from a work perspective, there are many comrades in our province who urgently need to be recommended to serve as deputy governors, such as the two current assistant governors..."

Zhao Lichun was stunned. As the Secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission, Liang Qunfeng did not fight for the position of vice governor for his comrades in his line, but instead recommended the assistant governor under his provincial government. Was he just abandoning his principles to fight for a revenge?

Zhao Lichun subconsciously glanced at the top leader sitting in the main seat, but didn't see any change in his expression. He cursed inwardly, "Old fox."

The Organization Minister is the new member of the Standing Committee. Although this position has considerable power, he is still far from having enough experience. He is also unwilling to take the initiative to participate in the struggle between the old members of the Standing Committee. He simply begins to study the words in the notebook on the table that he has already memorized.

The other members of the Standing Committee also noticed this unnatural rhythm. Some people who had been sitting more relaxed began to straighten their backs and sit up straight unconsciously. A storm was coming.

Zhao Lichun looked at the two people's tit-for-tat attitudes and had a premonition that this proposal would have to be shelved for the time being, because the top leader always had this kind of conciliatory attitude, and he had a premonition that the two young men who were parachuted in might overturn the table.

........

Qi Tongwei had just got off the plane and his secretary Xiao Du carried his luggage and sent him home. The luggage contained daily necessities such as food and clothes packed for him by his family.

"Hey, what's going on?"

The call was from Deputy General Jinling, not the former Deputy Mayor Ma Guocheng. He should be called Secretary Ma at this time. Ma Guocheng has already arrived in Lincheng and took up the post of Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.

"Brother, the Standing Committee meeting just ended. It was made clear at the meeting that Director Hu retired due to illness and will be replaced by Director Liu."

The words stopped here, and Qi Tongwei understood.

"Secretary Ma, do you mean that we didn't recommend him to serve as vice governor?"

Qi Tongwei's brows were furrowed. Why would an old politician be so irrational? He had clearly sent out many peace signals.

"Yes, brother, don't get excited.

At the Standing Committee meeting, Secretary Wu proposed that he should hold the position concurrently, but Secretary Liang, who was in charge of the department, strongly opposed it, so the secretary had to put the matter on hold.

You know the procedures. If the leaders in charge do not agree, it will not pass the procedure.”

Qi Tongwei sat on the sofa and listened to the phone.

"Okay then, thank you, Secretary Ma, for telling me the news as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, Qi Tongwei sat next to the dinner table, still shaking the phone in his hand. He really didn't understand why Liang Qunfeng did this. This was not what a mature politician should do at all.

Has my career really reached the brink of collapse? Is it time to give it a try?

This is not right. What benefit can Liu Dexu get by blocking his position as deputy governor? If he is promoted to deputy governor according to the rank, he will be promoted to the two assistant governors of the provincial government, or the secretaries of several important prefecture-level city party committees. What benefit can he get?

Could it be that he has a high blood pressure attack or has lost his mind? But it doesn’t matter anymore. Since he has already caused trouble, why not kill him?

Qi Tongwei immediately turned around and walked out the door, took a car directly to the municipal party committee compound, and found the villa that Secretary Wu Zhensheng had memorized.

Since they had made contact in advance, Secretary Wu welcomed Qi Tongwei as soon as he came in.

"Secretary Wu, hello Aunt Chen."

Wu Zhensheng's wife's surname was Chen. She was not as talkative as Gao Yuliang's wife Wu Huifen, who liked to interfere in men's work. She greeted Qi Tongwei, poured him tea, and went straight into the room.

"Why don't you stay in the capital for a few more days? I've approved a lot of vacation time for you."
