Chapter 460: Conversation with Xiao Gangyu
Early in the morning, Qi Tongwei began to sigh with his hands on his forehead.
Xiao Gangyu, the "Gold Medal Cigarette Salesman", somehow found out that Qi Tongwei was about to step down. As soon as he got to work, he sat in Qi Tongwei's office and reported on his work seriously.
He could readily quote all kinds of data, no matter how big or small, which showed that he had done his homework.
Qi Tongwei certainly knew that this was the masterpiece of his teacher, and he did not give up the idea of recommending his confidant Xiao Gangyu to the position.
Hearing is not as good as seeing. How could he believe that Xiao Gangyu, an outstanding student of political science and law who also came from a rural background, would be the corrupt official who liked to take advantage of others and manipulate the market as Qi Tongwei described?
"This year, our tobacco planting in Dabei Town has yielded a total of..."
"Alright, alright." Qi Tongwei interrupted Xiao Gangyu's report. "Gangyu, that's enough. I know why you're here. I'm sorry I can't help you with this matter, but honestly, from my observation, you don't have the ability to control Jiangchang County, let alone take on the role of a key leader."
Xiao Gangyu's expression changed after his thoughts were exposed. He forced a smile and said, "Secretary Qi, it's not that I want to be the leader, but I feel that if you hand over this great situation to others, what if they don't work hard?
Yes, I admit that my ability is a little lacking, but I am obedient. Even if you go to Kyoto or other places, I will always consult you and report to you. From now on, you will still make the decision about Jiang Chang."
Qi Tongwei was stunned when he heard this. He immediately slammed the table and said in a dissatisfied tone, "What nonsense are you talking about? Does this Jiangchang belong to me, Qi Tongwei, personally?
You, I think you are blinded by this position, confused, and can't tell the difference between good and bad."
After being scolded like this, Xiao Gangyu suddenly stopped talking.
After a moment of silence, Qi Tongwei spoke in a slightly slower tone, "Gangyu, don't be angry. I'm not looking down on you by saying this. I'm actually concerned about you and want to protect you.
Just think about it, I almost failed here, do you think you have the ability to handle it?
Let’s not talk about anything else, just talking about the Wayi people, they are like a landmine, you don’t know when it will explode, and you have to ignore it. If other places develop, do you think it is appropriate for Wayi Township to remain poor?
To be honest, I feel relieved to be able to step down this time.
If you really want to be the top leader in a local area, you might as well consider other districts and counties. This way, we can help you and the pressure will be less.
You have seen the importance of Jiang Chang. Even if we want to push you, there will be great resistance.
My personal suggestion is that instead of being squeezed out by the new secretary, you might as well leave with me and go to the Municipal Bureau to be the head to make the transition.
In the city, you have teachers looking after you, so if you do something a little bit, it's not a big deal. But in this position, you have to think about how many people are watching you, waiting for you to make a mistake and waiting to see the teacher laugh at you."
Qi Tongwei didn't want to keep Xiao Gangyu in Jiangchang. Without his suppression, this guy would be in great trouble.
Although Wen Qingchen is quite capable, will he take Xiao Gangyu into consideration?
He thought it was still possible. After all, this comrade was not only Secretary Gao's favorite, but also his senior brother and right-hand man in the eyes of outsiders.
Unfortunately, his teacher didn't believe his evaluation of Xiao Gangyu at all and insisted on re-employing him. He also said that there were few people in Handong and even the whole country who didn't have any minor flaws, so he should be more tolerant towards his own people.
Is he not tolerant? If he is not tolerant, he would have sent the other party to the Anti-Corruption Bureau long ago.
Perhaps Gao Yuliang knew it, but he only believed in his own "political and legal system" and was determined to build the Han University Gang.
Qi Tongwei's heartfelt words made Xiao Gangyu feel a little better.
"Secretary Qi, I'll listen to you. I'm not really attached to this position, I just want to help you."
Qi Tongwei waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright. If you really want to help me, then change your bad habits. After I leave, I don't know if I will have the chance to return to Handong. From now on, the teacher will rely on your help. Don't bring shame to our Handong Politics and Law School.
You've made enough money in the past two years. It's time to stop and do something practical for the people. If you continue to take money, no one will turn a blind eye to it."
Xiao Gangyu was stunned. He hadn't expected Qi Tongwei to see his little movements clearly. For a moment, he felt extremely embarrassed. "Secretary Qi, you...you know everything."
"What do you think? If it weren't for your teacher's sake, I would have asked the Anti-Corruption Bureau to arrest you long ago." Qi Tongwei said unhappily.
At this time, there was a knock on the office door.
Qi Tongwei stopped the topic and said, "Come in."
The secretary came in and said, "Secretary, there's a comrade from the Municipal Epidemic Prevention Station downstairs named Xu Xiaoman who wants to see you."
"Xu Xiaoman?" Qi Tongwei was a little surprised. What was she doing here?
"Let her come up." Qi Tongwei ordered.
The secretary agreed and turned to go out to make a phone call.
Seeing this, Xiao Gangyu stood up and said goodbye.
Before leaving, Qi Tongwei could not help but advise, "Gangyu, I hope you can take a good look at yourself. We are all sons of ordinary people, and it is not easy to get to where we are today.
I've been poor and suffered, but that's all in the past. I don't want you to forget your origins or betray your class, and I certainly don't want to visit you there."
Xiao Gangyu was somewhat moved, and choked up a little as he said, "Yes, Secretary Qi, I'll remember that."
Looking at Xiao Gangyu's leaving back, Qi Tongwei didn't know whether he could change the other party's ending.
A person's character is formed as early as his youth. If he wants to change it, he has to figure it out himself; no one else can help him.
Gao Yuliang can only pay more attention to the other party and prevent him from being dragged into trouble by the Handa Gang, which he supported.
Just as he was thinking about it, the secretary had already brought Xu Xiaoman in.
"Hello, Secretary Qi." Xu Xiaoman greeted him politely.
Xu Xiaoman was originally a carefree person. She was not shy even in front of the Director of the Health Bureau, Wen Qingchen, but she was a little cautious when meeting Qi Tongwei.
This is a legend in Haizhou City, and since he is Liang Zhiyuan's cousin, she feels like an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her in-laws.
"Xiao Man, why are you here? Come sit down." Qi Tongwei greeted her, "Xiao Li, make me some tea."
Xu Xiaoman said, "Don't bother me, Secretary Qi. I'll just give you an invitation and leave right away."
Then she took out a wedding invitation from her handbag and said, "Look, you are Zhiyuan's only relative in Haizhou. As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father. We are getting married, and you, the "elder", must come."
Qi Tongwei picked up the wedding invitation and took a look at it. "Hey, Building 10 of Xingui City? You and Wu Guo live pretty close.
Why didn't you deliver it earlier? Otherwise, I could have visited your place when I went to Wuguo last week."
"Really?" Xu Xiaoman felt a chill in her heart. "Secretary Qi, have you been to Section Chief Wu's house?"
Qi Tongwei nodded, "Yeah, I didn't expect you two were neighbors."
