Rebirth of Minister Qi

In fact, this is also the deputy secretary showing goodwill to Liu Dexu and Qi Tongwei, because he will be promoted and leave next year. These two young people who were parachuted in are fierce in their methods but know when to advance and retreat. The lesson of Liang Qunfeng is still there. It is not worth it, not worth it. It is better to delegate power to them directly, so that they can make achievements and gain some political achievements.

As a result, the phenomenon occurred that Liu Dexu, the deputy provincial governor, directly became the person in charge of the Procuratorate and the High Court. This was the time when he really began to show his talents. Qi Tongwei also knew this situation. Although he was a little reluctant, he could only support his ally with all his strength.

After the meeting, Office of the Director of the Public Security Department of Handong Province.

Qi Tongwei walked around and looked at the huge office of 42 square meters. He then looked at Liu Dexu's 001 police uniform hanging on the hanger and the precious flowers given by others next to the cabinet, and shook his head.

"A promotion means a promotion. The treatment is completely different. Look at this pot of flowers. It's worth at least several thousand yuan."

Qi Tongwei was not polite at all and reached out to touch the pot of precious flowers.

"Why? If you want it, I'll give it to you. Are you jealous of my police number 001? I'll get you a police number 002 in a few days. If it were in ancient times, you would be the crown prince."

Liu Qi and Liu Dexu were the only ones in the office, and Liu Dexu started joking around.

"I don't even want the police number 002, yet you're assigning me so many tasks."

Liu Dexu was still joking.

"Oh, when Old Hu was the director, we tried to grab as many responsibilities as possible, but now we are in control of the overall situation.

You don't even want to be in charge of the work."

Qi Tongwei sat in the director's chair with a nonchalant look, tapping his feet on the table.

"It was a different time. If we didn't grab the jobs back then, we would be squeezed out and have no room to survive.

Now, as you said, we are in control of the overall situation and you are the boss.

Even if we assign work to subordinates, the control and decision-making power are still with us. If any of them fails to do the job well, we can replace them.

This rush is exhausting myself to death."

Liu Dexu saw that Qi Tongwei's leather shoes were lifted up onto the table, and he found a feather duster from somewhere and poked Qi Tongwei's legs down.

"There are some rules. If the police see us, who knows what will happen."

As he spoke, he swept the dust off the table with a feather duster.

“Of course you’re right, but we’ve already defeated the leader in charge, and there are still many people watching us.

The best way to shut them up is to achieve results at work.

Although we are in control of the overall situation, in the final analysis, we don’t know these cadres. What if they do a bad job? There is really nothing we can do.”

This was true, and Qi Tongwei had no more excuses.

Liu Dexu then pursued the victory.

“Tongwei, we should prepare early for the change of leadership next year.

Especially for the position of Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, it is impossible for the Deputy Secretary to hold a part-time job for too long, and he is already delegating power now.

If the change of leadership takes two or three years, I won't be anxious. We can just do things step by step.

But the term of office will be changed next year, and it’s less than a year now. What should we do?

There is no choice about this.”

Liu Dexu paused and turned to look at the office door, looking a little sneaky.

"I mean, why don't we just seize the opportunity and take the top spot next year.

I will be the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, and you will wear the number 001. Just like we said before, we will work together to achieve advancement into the Ministry."

Qi Tongwei glanced at Liu Dexu.

“Can I still be a vice governor at the age of 31?

It's impossible. Have you ever thought about it? You are 45 years old now. It is normal for a deputy governor at this age, but what about me?

How many 30-year-olds can reach the departmental level in the whole country? I just want to keep a low profile for a few years and gain some experience.

Although there are few 30-year-old bureau-level officials in mass organizations and ministries, they do exist. They are vice-ministerial level officials or deputy provincial governors with real power.

How could there be a 31-year-old deputy governor? The higher-ups would never agree to that."

After Qi Tongwei's analysis, Liu Dexu was surprised to find that he seemed to have forgotten Qi Tongwei's age. He subconsciously regarded Qi Tongwei as his peer, an old fox in his forties who had been in the officialdom for a long time. Looking at Qi Tongwei's young face, he realized that this problem was a real problem.

"Governor Liu, you should keep a low profile for a few years. We just used the age issue to bring down Liang Qunfeng. Don't let others use the age issue against us."

Liu Dexu sat on the chair and began to think about this problem.

"We will continue to work, but we can't be too high-profile.

It won't be a big problem for you to take the position of Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, after all, you have the qualifications.

But after you are transferred, I think we will need someone else to take over the position of director for a few years."

Liu Dexu asked doubtfully.

"Will the transition last a few years? Do you have a candidate?"

Qi Tongwei nodded.

"I have a candidate. Don't accuse me of nepotism. The person I recommend is the current executive deputy chief procurator of the provincial procuratorate, Zhou Xinwang.

He is of the right age and will be ready to retire after working for another four or five years.

They are local cadres, not people transferred from other places, so the Handong Provincial Party Committee will not have much resistance.

He is also a veteran cadre in Handong's political and legal line, with extensive experience and good relations with the procuratorial system.

To be honest, I didn't want to agree to be the executive deputy director at first because time was too short, so I wanted to recommend him to come over.

But you have to achieve results in a short period of time, so I have no choice but to do it myself.

It is foreseeable that although you will be able to go up next year, I will definitely be stuck.

What's more, what they said is reasonable and I have no way to argue. I will definitely not be able to get promoted next year.

The higher-ups won't agree either, so when the term changes next year, in order for you to take over smoothly, I'd better not move. I'd better transfer someone from the procuratorial system to be the director, and Chief Prosecutor Zhou will be the best choice.

Another point is that Chief Prosecutor Zhou has also registered with Minister Wang."

After listening to Qi Tongwei's words, Liu Dexu nodded silently, agreeing with the idea.

"I was really naive. In the past six months, we have established a firm foothold and even brought down the local bigwigs. We have achieved so many results that we were a little too hasty.

Many issues were ignored.

It seems that you are very thoughtful. If you hadn't mentioned your age, I would have overlooked it."
