Chapter 113 Engagement
October 10, Jingzhou Hotel.
A private room with about 20 people was decorated with festive atmosphere. Today was the engagement ceremony of Qi Tongwei and Pei Qianqian.
Qi Tongwei was dressed in an exquisite suit, looking handsome; Pei Qianqian was dressed in a white wedding dress, looking beautiful and charming.
Under the gaze of everyone, the two exchanged engagement rings and then hugged each other tightly.
Qi Tongwei looked at the beautiful Pei Qianqian affectionately, and a sense of satisfaction surged in his heart. With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?
Pei Qianqian's eyes were also full of Qi Tongwei, and her face was filled with happiness. She felt that there was nothing better than marrying for love.
Then, the newlyweds toasted to express their gratitude to the relatives and friends present.
First, Qi Tongwei and Pei Qianqian came to Gao Yuliang, and Gao Yuliang smiled and blessed them: "Tongwei, Qianqian, the teacher hopes that you can live a good life."
Qi Tongwei nodded gratefully and said that he would cherish this happiness.
Then, they came to Pei Yihong again. Pei Yihong's eyes were full of reluctance, and he said softly: "Tongwei, Qianqian, Dad hopes that you can remember this moment, put each other first, and work together to run your little home."
Pei Qianqian and Qi Tongwei held hands and promised to live a good life.
Then the two of them toasted their mother-in-law, Qi's father, and Qi's mother in turn to express their gratitude, and ended the engagement ceremony with everyone's blessings.
"Brother Qi, let's have a drink. You have raised an excellent child." Pei Yihong took the initiative to clink glasses with Qi's father. He noticed that Qi's father and mother felt restrained.
Looking at Qi Tongwei's family, he really didn't know how Qi Tongwei grew up. It proved the saying that noble sons come from poor families.
Father Qi was very reserved and quickly picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
It was at this time that Gao Yuliang's role came into play. As a law professor, he had a wide range of knowledge and could talk very well with Pei Yihong.
The engagement party lasted until the afternoon. After it ended, Gao Yuliang returned to his home, and Qi Tongwei took his family to his and Pei Qianqian's wedding room.
While the others were chatting in Qi Tongwei and his wife's wedding room, he followed Pei Yihong to visit Li Baoguo.
The two big men were chatting, and Qi Tongwei was waiting on the side, listening to them exchange opinions and views on urban development. Of course, they would occasionally ask for his opinion.
Qi Tongwei has more than 20 years of experience in urban development and has his own unique insights. Every time he answers, he is just right.
"Old Pei, you found a good son-in-law." Li Baoguo admired Qi Tongwei more and more, and he had decided to transfer him to the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee.
On the one hand, Qi Tongwei is indeed talented, and on the other hand, he is also giving face to Pei Yihong.
"Don't praise him, otherwise you will forget who you are." Pei Yihong said with a smile. He was very satisfied with Qi Tongwei, but he had to be humble.
Pei and Li chatted until 11 o'clock in the evening before ending the conversation.
The two people's conversation covered all aspects, and there was a lot for Qi Tongwei to learn.
Especially the political struggles, which fascinated him.
If he had this level in his previous life and had Gao Yuliang's support, he would have been promoted to vice governor long ago. Without a good excuse, it was difficult for Sha Ruijin to refuse openly.
After finishing the conversation, Qi Tongwei sent Pei Yihong to the hotel. His parents and others also arrived at the hotel.
I didn't stay in the hotel for long, as Pei Qianqian was still waiting for me.
After Qi Tongwei returned, Pei Qianqian was sitting on the sofa watching TV waiting for him.
"I'm back. My dad is such a fool. He can go at any other time, but he has to go on the engagement day." Pei Qianqian complained.
"Dad and the others are going back tomorrow, so we have to choose today." Qi Tongwei poured two glasses of water, handed one to Pei Qianqian, and sat down.
"Tongwei, can we wait two years before having a child after we get married? We really don't have time now." Pei Qianqian asked in a low voice.
"Of course, we are still young, and it won't be too late to have children in a few years." Qi Tongwei had no objection to this decision.
Pei Qianqian said gratefully: "Thank you, husband."
"You don't need to rush to have a child, but you still need to do the necessary exercise." Qi Tongwei said as he picked up Pei Qianqian from the sofa and walked towards the bedroom...
The next morning, the two got up early and went to the hotel where their father-in-law and others were staying.
They all left this morning, my father-in-law and mother-in-law returned to Han River, and my brother-in-law went to Beijing.
He was busy until noon. After watching his father-in-law board the plane, Qi Tongwei finally breathed a sigh of relief and could finally take a break.
Qi's father and mother were not busy, so Qi Tongwei and Pei Qianqian took them to Jingzhou for a few days. They did not leave Jingzhou until the end of the National Day holiday.
After the National Day holiday, the first thing Qi Tongwei and Pei Qianqian did was to get their marriage certificate and register.
Then the two of them were busy with their own things. As for the wedding, they scheduled it for next summer because they really didn't have time this year.
Qi Tongwei did not return to Shuanghe directly, but went to the Provincial Water Conservancy Bureau.
The hydroelectric power project mentioned earlier has been planned, and Qi Tongwei is responsible for the relocation of the villagers.
However, this project has little to do with him. His main purpose of coming to the water conservancy department is to apply for funds to continue to strengthen the river embankment to cope with future flood disasters.
With his background, the matter was quickly approved and the provincial government allocated 500 million yuan. With the support of this amount, the Shuanghe water conservancy problem will be completely solved.
After returning to Shuanghe, Qi Tongwei devoted himself to his work.
He first counted the number of households and population in the reservoir area, totaling 109 households and 449 people.
There are a variety of options for the relocation of people in the reservoir area.
One of them is to build resettlement communities for immigrants in towns and villages to achieve overall resettlement; the other is to build new rural areas by merging villages.
After careful consideration, Qi Tongwei believes that immigration and relocation must solve the employment problem of these people, otherwise they will face difficulties in making a living.
After some discussion, everyone finally adopted Qi Tongwei's suggestion and decided to implement village merger and resettlement and build a new countryside.
This will not only ensure that the villagers' quality of life is improved, but also promote local economic development.
After making the decision, Qi Tongwei assigned someone to be in charge of this work, and personally confirmed whether the subsidies for the relocated villagers in the reservoir area were in place, and would never allow corruption to occur.
The relocation of the reservoir area was proceeding in an orderly manner. Qi Tongwei organized people to reinforce the river embankment and implement water conservancy projects.
Thanks to the efforts of Qi Tongwei and others, Shuanghe is getting better and better.
The Jiajiale supermarket founded by Pei Qianqian is also on the right track and has been opened in all prefecture-level cities. Shuanghe’s vegetables are basically sold locally.
After finding sales channels for the villagers, a number of vegetable greenhouses were built one after another.
After Jia Jia Le opened for business, it made a fortune every day. However, Qi Tongwei asked Pei Qianqian not to take the money back, but to continue opening branches.
The first step is to establish stores in all developed cities across the country. For future development, Qi Tongwei suggested following the example of Wanda Plaza and building shopping mall complexes.
However, this is a long process and cannot be achieved overnight.
