Chapter 88 Taking Office in Shuanghe Town
Originally, everyone thought that Qi Tongwei had failed to compete for the position of Public Security Bureau Director and had lost his power.
Some people were preparing to laugh at Qi Tongwei, but unexpectedly, the next day there was a rumor in the county party committee office that County Party Committee Secretary Zhou, Organization Department Minister Hua Youwei and others would personally escort Qi Tongwei to office.
This specification is unprecedentedly high in Dabeihu County and has never appeared before.
Previously, town party committee secretaries were at most accompanied by the head of the Organization Department when taking office, but Qi Tongwei directly broke the ceiling.
At this time, everyone turned their attention to Qi Tongwei again and were surprised to find that they had previously overlooked a reality, that is, Qi Tongwei was only 27 years old.
Youth is capital, especially nowadays when we are advocating younger and more knowledgeable cadres. Qi Tongwei has come at a good time and his future will be limitless.
The noisy discussions outside did not disturb Qi Tongwei. He had been staying in the county archives these days, looking through the information about Shuanghe Town. The more he read, the more surprised he was. He knew that Shuanghe was poor, but he didn't expect it to be this poor.
However, Qi Tongwei is still full of confidence. He believes that he can definitely turn around Shuanghe’s predicament and lead everyone on the road to prosperity.
Time flies, and the 7-day public announcement period is over soon.
The Organization Department of the County Party Committee officially issued a document, appointing Qi Tongwei as the Party Secretary of Shuanghe Town, Dabeihu County.
April 1994, 4 is a day worth remembering. County Party Committee Secretary Zhou and Minister Hua Youwei personally saw Qi Tongwei off to take office, confirming previous rumors.
This made everyone's opinion of Qi Tongwei rise by three points.
Qi Tongwei and his group drove towards Shuanghe Town in a mighty manner. The road became worse and worse, especially the rear 10 highway.
A distance of 60 kilometers would only take more than half an hour's drive in later times, but Qi Tongwei and his companions took more than two hours, which shows how bad the road was.
These difficulties did not scare Qi Tongwei, but instead made him feel more urgency. As long as he developed the economy of Shuanghe Town, no one would question his ability in the future.
He wants to use the reforms in Shuanghe Town to promote the slogan of being a reform pioneer and pave the way for his future advancement.
At the same time, the town people's congress chairman Xu Bin, led a group of party committee members, standing anxiously at the gate waiting.
Everyone was feeling mixed emotions after receiving the notice that County Party Secretary Zhou Guichun would personally escort Qi Tongwei to take office.
The thought of being led by a young guy makes me feel awkward.
Of course, there were also those who were happy. They had inquired about Qi Tongwei's style of doing things, and they knew that he was completely objective in dealing with matters, never taking credit from his subordinates, and was willing to promote them. Those who had these ideas were all young leading cadres.
However, no matter what they think, whether they welcome it or not, it cannot change the fact that Qi Tongwei is about to take up the position of Party Secretary of Shuanghe Town.
After the motorcade arrived, NPC Chairman Xu Bin hurried to greet them. For him, it was rare to have the opportunity to speak to Secretary Zhou Guichun in person.
"Let's go directly to the conference room for the meeting." Zhou Guichun looked at the messy crowd and frowned.
"Okay, Secretary Zhou, the meeting room is ready." Xu Bin replied quickly.
At the same time, he winked at a young man, who hurried away. It seemed that he was the director of the Party and Government Office of the town government.
Everyone came to the meeting room of the town government, and Xu Bin consciously sat down, leaving the podium.
All the party committee members and township cadres looked at the group of people on the rostrum, their heads were all confused!
The county party secretary was present in person, the head of the Organization Department read out the appointment letter, the directors of the two offices accompanied the whole process, and looking at the young Qi Tongwei, everyone knew that they could not be perfunctory in their work in the future.
After Hua Youwei finished reading the appointment document, everyone present burst into warm applause.
After reading the appointment document, Qi Tongwei first introduced himself and then made a statement.
He said that under the strong leadership of the county party committee and government, he would lead 4 people out of poverty and into prosperity, and change the backward appearance of Shuanghe. He hoped that all the cadres and people in Shuanghe would support his work and work together for Shuanghe.
After Qi Tongwei finished his statement, Secretary Zhou Guichun made a summary speech.
"Comrades! Shuanghe Town's economy has been at the bottom for ten consecutive years!
Can you imagine?
I heard that even now, there are still people here who are not well clothed and have not enough food.
I don't know what other comrades would think after hearing such news, but I personally feel extremely ashamed! I really don't have the face to say that I am the county party secretary of Dabeihu County. I can't afford to lose this person.
This is not only a shame for all the party members and cadres in Shuanghe Town, but also a shame for the Dabeihu County Party Committee and County Government! "
“We are now in the 90s and about to enter the new century, but this phenomenon still exists in our area.
This situation has undoubtedly sounded the alarm for all of us Party members and cadres, and we need to reflect deeply and take positive measures to improve it.”
"However, even under such circumstances, some of our leading cadres are still indulging in pleasure-seeking and squandering the people's hard-earned money in extravagance.
What is even more outrageous is that Wang Maocai, as the mayor of Shuanghe Town, actually committed such a shameless act, which is extremely morally corrupt! Isn't this a serious damage to the image and reputation of our party?
I hope that everyone present here can take this as a warning, learn profound lessons, practice the Party's purpose with practical actions, serve the people wholeheartedly, and resolutely prevent similar incidents from happening again."
Zhou Guichun calmed down, suppressed his inner anger, and raised his voice, "Today, the organization sent Comrade Qi Tongwei to Shuanghe Town as the town party secretary, hoping that under his leadership, the economic backwardness of Shuanghe Town can be reversed.
I hope everyone can actively cooperate with Comrade Qi Tongwei to improve the work in Shuanghe.
If I find out that anyone dares to pretend to obey but actually disobey and pursue their own selfish agenda, the county party committee and government will never tolerate it. "
Secretary Zhou Guichun was worried that everyone would look down on Qi Tongwei because of his age, so he personally supported him and gave a speech, which made Qi Tongwei very grateful.
At this moment, all the village and town-level cadres attending the meeting had one thought in their hearts: they absolutely could not afford to offend this young secretary.
After the meeting, Secretary Zhou Guichun and his party had a simple lunch at the township government kitchen. Despite the attempts of Qi Tongwei and others to keep them, they insisted on leaving on the grounds of being busy with work.
After seeing off Secretary Zhou and his entourage, Qi Tongwei, led by a group of Party Committee members, came to his own office.
His office is composed of two rooms combined, one for work and one for living, which is clearly over the limit.
Qi Tongwei did not care about these minor details. This phenomenon was very common at the grassroots level. If only the office environment exceeded the standards and other behaviors were qualified, people could open champagne to celebrate.
After sitting in his seat, Qi Tongwei began to listen to everyone's introductions and quickly memorized all the members of the Party Committee.
The seven people include Xu Bin, Chairman of the People's Congress, Wang Min, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee, Sun Xiaofei, Deputy Town Mayor, Zheng Wenkai, Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, Liu Caixia, Organization Committee Member, Liu Wenjie, Propaganda Committee Member, and Xu Qingfeng, Minister of the People's Armed Forces.
Three of the seven people were relatively young, less than 40 years old, and the other four were over 40 years old and looked a bit old-fashioned, which Qi Tongwei disliked very much.
However, he just took office today, so it is not the time to show his cards yet.
After getting to know several members of the Party Committee, Qi Tongwei called Ma Tao, director of the Party and Government Office, and asked him to give him the work summary and statistical reports of the town government over the past five years.
Qi Tongwei also knew that the work summaries and reports were seriously inflated and had little credibility.
But this is exactly what he wants. He plans to conduct in-depth research in various villages starting tomorrow. After the research is completed, the first thing he will do is to rectify false and empty behaviors.
