Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 148 Confrontation with Ma Zhiyuan

"My teacher's family has a lot of tea, and I've learned a thing or two from him." Qi Tongwei put the blame on Gao Yuliang again.

Ma Zhiyuan suddenly realized that Qi Tongwei's mysterious teacher was also often circulated in the county.

Most people may not know much about him, but with Ma Zhiyuan’s background, they naturally know who he is.

It's normal for a professor at Handong University to have so many good things.

It is common for academics to drink tea and discuss philosophy.

"County Magistrate Ma, I came to you this time because I hope the county can instruct Longkou Town to repair the road. Otherwise, our Guying Town's development will be like strangling its neck."

Ma Zhiyuan said earnestly: "Xiao Qi, our county has discussed this matter at the Standing Committee meeting. It's not that the county didn't give instructions, it's just that Longkou Town has no money. The county can't force the other party to develop."

"County Magistrate Ma, I don't have any other requests, I just want to widen the road and dig some rocks from the mountain to harden it. If he really wants to do it, it won't take more than two months."

Ma Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head, "Comrade Xiao Qi, you think things are too simple. Fifty kilometers, and it's a mountain road, this is a lot of work.

Three years ago, when I was the deputy secretary of Gufeng County, an incident that shocked the entire province occurred in Jinshan County, Luzhou City. The then Jinshan County Party Committee Secretary, in order to build a road, ended up causing a village party secretary to fail due to endless mobilization.

The provincial government punished him at that time, transferred the then county party secretary to Lincheng and demoted him.

Look at where we are now, and how similar we are to Jinshan County back then. I don’t want to repeat the same mistakes.”

The speech sounded very high-sounding.

"Are we just going to let the people continue to be poor?"

"Hey, Comrade Xiao Qi, don't get stuck in a rut." Ma Zhiyuan comforted him, "We must develop, but we must learn from our mistakes and proceed step by step."

I follow you*!

Qi Tongwei has almost learned the official language of these people, but it's all meaningless nonsense anyway.

“County Magistrate Ma, do you have time to go to Guying Town and take a look? Many people down there still don’t have clothes to wear or books to read. They can’t wait any longer.

If we don't get rid of poverty quickly and continue to proceed step by step, I'm afraid some people will freeze to death or starve to death this winter.

One person dies in a radical way, or a group of people die gradually? How do you think this deal will be settled, County Magistrate? Or do their lives not matter? "

Seeing that Qi Tongwei was not getting the point, Ma Zhiyuan's face darkened and he slammed the table, "Qi Tongwei, you have to understand that you are now the mayor of Guying Town. It is your responsibility to change the current situation of Guying Town, instead of blaming the problem on Longkou Town's failure to repair the road.

If you can't do that, I think you should submit your resignation to the county committee as soon as possible instead of complaining and grumbling here."

Qi Tongwei was stunned. In the words of Zhuge Liang, he had never seen such a shameless person.

After being blamed by Ma Zhiyuan, Qi Tongwei calmed down.

This is the officialdom. Getting angry will not solve the problem, but will make things worse.

"County Magistrate Ma, in your opinion, how should Guying Town develop?" Qi Tongwei asked calmly.

Ma Zhiyuan waved his hand: "How to develop is your business, I will not interfere. I only have one request, Lone Eagle Town is in your hands, you have to make something happen, otherwise, I say, you should just go back to being a policeman."

Qi Tongwei finally understood that his advance and retreat were all within the other party's circle.

The location of Lone Eagle Town is surrounded by mountains on one side, so it is naturally a dead end.

On one hand, the project is 50 to 60 kilometers longer than Nanyun Town, totaling about 150 kilometers. If we choose this route, we will die from delay.

The construction schedule is tight and the tasks are heavy.

Nanyun Town would definitely not undertake the 120-kilometer journey.

Even if the other party is Xiao Jianhua's man, they would not dare to mobilize such a large project.

There is only one left, Longkou Town.

As long as the other party is holding your neck, you have to accept it with your nose pinched.

Having said that, there is no room for compromise.

Qi Tongwei stood up and raised his voice, "County Magistrate Ma, this is what you said. I hope the county can give me a guarantee. Since you don't support it, don't interfere. I promise to make Lone Eagle Town rich.

If you can't do it, don't go back to being a police officer. I'll resign."

When Ma Zhiyuan heard Qi Tongwei say this, he was stunned.

His original intention was not to force the other party to resign, but to use the other party to develop Longkou Town. After all, Qi Tongwei's background was there.

He has backgrounds in provinces, cities and counties. If it really comes to this, when the higher-ups come down and see what's happening, he's afraid he won't end up well.

Everyone knows that building a road in Longkou Town is the best option, but they ended up in this situation.

Ma Zhiyuan motioned Qi Tongwei to sit down, and said in a gentle tone: "Tongwei, don't be impulsive, give up, or say harsh words.

If you have any difficulties, you can discuss them with the comrades in Longkou Town. Everyone has difficulties. If everyone makes concessions, everyone will be better off.

Well, I'll call the comrades in Longkou Town and ask them to come over to talk. As for you, you've worked hard in Jingzhou, so go to the guesthouse and have a rest first."

Qi Tongwei also wanted to see what tricks the other party would play, so he agreed to Ma Zhiyuan's suggestion.

Walk out of Ma Zhiyuan’s office.

Qi Tongwei greeted Xiao Jianhua again.

Suggest that the other party hold an enlarged meeting in the afternoon.

If you have anything to say, just put it out in the open and fight for real.

Xiao Jianhua agreed.

...

After a comfortable nap, Qi Tongwei was called to the county party committee again.

Xiao Jianhua also convened an expanded meeting of the Standing Committee in accordance with Qi Tongwei's idea.

As soon as they entered the meeting room, everyone's eyes turned to Qi Tongwei.

The county party committee compound is not big, with only a few floors. The news of Qi Tongwei's "riot" in the county magistrate's office spread throughout the entire county party committee compound in just one afternoon.

Regardless of whether you are familiar with this influential figure or not, everyone wants to get to know him now.

Everyone sat down.

At the first table, Xiao Jianhua spoke first, "Comrades, this is an enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee.

The two new members are Jiang Chengtao, Party Secretary of Longkou Town, and Qi Tongwei, Mayor of Guying Town.

This meeting also discussed the road construction and development issues in the two towns.

Now let me explain the situation first…”

The problem is still the same. The last two county standing committee meetings have discussed the road construction issue in Guying Town.

The county's standing committee members are deeply divided. Logically, Xiao Jianhua would have the advantage if there was a vote, but voting is not the only way to resolve the issue.

Because Jiang Chengtao of Longkou Town said frankly that it is okay to build a road, but the county either needs to support it or mobilize it, and the county will take responsibility if any problems arise.

Jinshan County next door is setting an example.

This resulted in Xiao Jianhua being unable to force the matter through. Who dared to take responsibility? Did he not want to take the blame?
