Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 241 Pre-Exam Seminar

Qi Tongwei waved his hand to refuse. His purpose was to understand this work, which was also what Jin Xinkai had specifically instructed him to do over the phone a few days ago. According to the normal work process, he could do this: let the deputy district mayor in charge prepare for the reception, and he, as the deputy district mayor in charge of the district, would just have to come and say hello. If the district mayor or secretary was there, he would just let them go over.

The Coaster bus stopped in the district government compound, and a large group of people got out of the door. Among them were some top-grade teachers from important high schools in the province, officials from education systems at all levels, and the current deputy director of the Education Department, Liu Xiangdong.

Everyone present was a little surprised. They thought the deputy director would lead the team, but it turned out that the deputy director came in person. It seemed that the reception standards here were not in accordance with the rules.

Qi Tongwei quickly signaled Lu Qiang to notify the district party committee office immediately and contact the secretary of the district party committee secretary Jin Guodong. When the deputy department level official came down to conduct research, the deputy department level official needed to come out and shake hands. If Qi Tongwei was present alone, it might be disrespectful to him/her.

District Chief Zhang immediately stepped forward and shook hands.

"Director Liu, why are you here in person?"

Director Liu is obviously a man of character.

"Why, I'm the wrong person to come?"

"No, no, it was our fault. We didn't entertain you well enough. We didn't entertain you well enough.

Director Liu, this is our Jiangbei New Area’s executive deputy district mayor, District Mayor Qi Tongwei, who is also my immediate superior.

I came here specifically to attend the seminar in person.”

Although Qi Tongwei had a smile on his face, he was actually observing the people around him. The expressions of the staff below were the same as his, they were all surprised for a moment, but District Chief Zhang did not have this expression. He should know something.

Moreover, he has a personal relationship with Director Liu. Otherwise, normally, in work contacts, there are rarely jokes like "I shouldn't be here". Such jokes can only be made by people who are familiar with each other.

"This is the famous General Manager Qi, you look really young, hello, hello.

I am Liu Xiangdong from the Education Department. "

"Hello, hello, Director Liu, please come this way.

The meeting room is ready.”

Qi Tongwei made way and opened his hands to guide, because the other party had a higher status, he needed to let him move half a body length first.

If the person who came was a director or deputy director, Qi Tongwei, as the deputy district mayor in charge of the work, could treat them as equals and go together, but if the person who came was a deputy director, then they could not be equal in any way.

Lu Qiang had already hurried away to inform Secretary Jin's secretary, and he was sure that he would be here soon.

The seats for the seminar remained the same as usual. Since it was a dialogue between two units, Qi Tongwei and Director Liu sat opposite each other.

"Then District Chief Qi, let's get started quickly. After we finish discussing this, we will divide into groups and go to the middle and high schools to check the situation on site.

Comrades from the Municipal Bureau, please give a brief account. ..."

The specific details of education are still communicated by the Municipal Education Bureau and the Provincial Education Department. Specific tasks are further broken down and implemented by the District Education Bureau, and the District Government serves as the logistics coordinator and support for other departments.

It was not until the meeting was almost over that Jin Guodong, member of the Municipal Party Committee, Deputy Mayor and Secretary of the Jiangbei New District Party Committee, arrived.

Laughter arrives before anyone arrives.

"Director Liu, long time no see, long time no see.

Why did you come to this seminar in person? "

The two men held hands tightly together, and it seemed that they were old acquaintances.

"Mayor Jin, long time no see. You are still serving as the district secretary. It seems that Secretary Lu has made great use of you. Your future advancement is just around the corner."

As soon as these words were spoken, Jin Guodong's face froze for a second, then returned to normal.

“Whether you make progress or not, the organization will take it into consideration.

As soldiers, we should still consider doing a good job of the work assigned by the organization.

Is the seminar almost over?

Then come to my office for a cup of tea?"

Director Liu waved his hands repeatedly.

"How can I be so free? I came here with an important responsibility. The department asked me to inspect two more districts and counties and provide guidance on specific work.

This college entrance examination is of great importance. In addition to Jiangbei New District, there are two more counties to visit. The time is tight and the task is heavy.

I can only do it next time when I am free. "

“We have a heavy responsibility and no one can help themselves, so I won’t force it.

District Chief Qi, come here. "

Qi Tongwei hurried over.

"You should make the specific assignments and contact the leaders of the Education Department immediately if they need to go to which schools."

After saying that, he turned to Director Liu.

"This executive deputy district chief Qi Tongwei is the backbone of our Jiangbei New District. All matters, big and small, are handled by him and the district chief. He is very trusted by the municipal party committee and government."

This is a very mysterious statement. It looks like you are introducing your capable subordinate to the other leader, but you also say that all the big and small matters are done by the two of them. Then what about you? You do nothing?

To others, this may sound like an attempt to shirk responsibility, and the following comment is also strange.

He has the trust of the municipal party committee and government. Does that include your trust? Or is it just that this guy is under the protection of the city's main leaders and I can't do anything to him.

Even Qi Tongwei could hear the strange tone in Jin Guodong's voice, but he didn't take it seriously, because Jin Guodong looked like a leader who wasn't going to be one. He was a local cadre, and his work at the executive level was just so-so. Naturally, he lacked courage at the decision-making level. When the next term comes, he will definitely go to other prefecture-level cities or provincial departments. Even if the two of them fell out, the threat to Qi Tongwei would be very small. Perhaps being sarcastic was the limit of what he could do.

Qi Tongwei smiled at the team from the Education Department and politely gestured with his hand.

"Then Director Liu, let's go. The vehicle is ready."

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

The mobilization and coordination meeting for the college entrance examination and the senior high school entrance examination took up the entire Sunday, and work had to start again on Monday.

Early in the morning, Qi Tongwei was holding a meeting and started scolding people in the meeting room with hundreds of people.

"On Saturday, the municipal government's flood prevention and typhoon prevention inspection team came to our new district for an unannounced visit.

By the time I received the notification from the municipal government, they had already left. The two streets that I secretly visited, Shangqiao Street and Xiaqiao Street, both had shortcomings.

Especially in Shangqiao Street, there is a village where two disaster shelters have not been renovated at all and have no equipment at all.

Where did the district's money go? A satellite phone costs several thousand yuan, and various flashlights, raincoats, relief quilts and other equipment cost thousands more.

Where are the things? Secretary Gao, Director Zhao, both of you please give me a good answer.

Come up and read your self-review."

The two people named were the top leaders of Shangqiao Street. At this time, they could only come up to the podium with written self-criticisms.

Both of them were in their forties or fifties, yet they were criticized in public at the meeting. They looked extremely embarrassed while reading their self-criticisms, and they stuttered for a few minutes before quickly coming down.
