Chapter 124 The Director of the Government Office's Thoughts
After the meeting, Chen Shihu and his group sat together to discuss Qi Tongwei.
"It's so damn unfair. I became the head of a county in my early 30s. Now I'm in my s and still hovering at the deputy county level. It's still unclear whether I can get the treatment of a county head before retirement." Wang Wenyong, Minister of the United Front Work Department, was full of indignation.
"Yeah, I don't know what the background of our County Magistrate Qi is. I thought it would be County Magistrate Chen's turn this time." County Party Committee Standing Committee Member and Deputy County Magistrate Ai Yongjie echoed.
He thought that this time it was Chen Shihu's turn to be the county magistrate, and he would further become the executive deputy county magistrate. Unexpectedly, Qi Tongwei parachuted into Ninghai County and shattered his dream.
"You can say this among us, but don't speak carelessly outside. The organization has its own considerations." Chen Shihu said he didn't care, but he was already angry in his heart.
"County Magistrate Chen, it seems that our new county magistrate has come with bad intentions!" Liu Ning, secretary of the county's Political and Legal Affairs Committee and director of the Public Security Bureau, frowned and said with some worry.
"Humph, he's just a young man with a strong background, what real abilities can he have?
Such people are often empty talkers, looking glamorous on the surface but actually empty, so it is best to fool them." Wang Wenyong curled his lips in disdain, his tone full of contempt and disdain.
The apparent contempt is actually just due to jealousy in the heart.
After hearing this, Chen Shihu shook his head slightly and said seriously, "Don't be careless. How can a young man be so cruel as to conduct anonymous research for half a month? If he doesn't have some ability, how can he dare to do this?"
There was a hint of caution and vigilance in his eyes. Chen Shihu must have his own strengths to have been able to stand firm in Ninghai for many years.
"Yes, County Mayor Chen is right. We can't take it lightly. From today's speech, we can see that the new county mayor may be much more difficult to deal with than we imagined." Liu Ning echoed.
"County Mayor Chen, young gentlemen can't stand beautiful women the most. How about arranging for our new county magistrate to visit the Dream City?" Ai Yongjie suddenly suggested with a sly smile on his face.
"That's an idea. I can try it out when I have the chance." Chen Shihu pondered for a moment, and finally nodded in approval, with a hint of calculation in his eyes.
Qi Tongwei had no idea that someone was plotting against him behind his back.
At this moment, he was sitting in his office, listening to the director of the government office arranging a driver and secretary for him. At the same time, he was also waiting for the heads of various departments to report to him, so as to make a preliminary judgment on the positions of the heads of these units.
"County Magistrate Qi, what are your requirements for your secretary and driver?" asked Wang Zhongshan, director of the government office.
Qi Tongwei glanced at the file in Wang Zhongshan's hand, and a barely perceptible light flashed in his eyes. "Give me a copy of the resume of all the people in the government office, and also a copy of the driver's file of the logistics office."
Wang Zhongshan silently took back the file, feeling a little disappointed, but still nodded and agreed.
He was holding the files of three candidates for the position of driver and secretary. They were all his people. He thought Qi Tongwei would directly choose one of them, but he didn't expect him to ask for the resumes of all of them.
Qi Tongwei's unconventional approach disrupted his plans.
Qi Tongwei is not really young. In his previous life, he was the director of the Public Security Department. How could his little thoughts be hidden from Qi Tongwei?
Qi Tongwei had long seen through his intentions and had no intention of using the candidate recommended by Wang Zhongshan from the beginning.
With Chen Shihu's power in Ninghai, the director of the government office is definitely his man. How could he possibly feel at ease using the secretary and driver they provided?
After getting the list, he will screen it carefully and choose those secretaries and drivers who have no background, as he can feel at ease using such people.
The secretary and the driver are a leader's absolute confidants. If something goes wrong with them, the leader will be soon down.
Although Wang Zhongshan was reluctant, he still sent everyone's files to Qi Tongwei's office.
Qi Tongwei picked out the secretaries and drivers who were from Ninghai. These people were often related to him, and choosing them would be the most troublesome. As a result, there were only 4 candidates for secretaries and 2 candidates for drivers.
He had no idea what to do with the remaining four secretaries and two drivers, but this did not pose a problem for him. He immediately called the Chief Prosecutor of the Procuratorate, Lu Zhengming.
"County Magistrate Qi, please wait for me in your office, I'll be there soon." Lu Zhengguo said respectfully, not taking Qi Tongwei's polite words to heart.
In the whole Ninghai, he was the only one who knew Qi Tongwei's background best. In his opinion, small Ninghai was Qi Tongwei's transitional place and he believed that the other party would definitely be promoted in the future, so he was particularly respectful.
"Okay, I'll wait for you in the office." Qi Tongwei hung up the phone with satisfaction. It seemed that this senior brother was a lively person. If he had talent, he would not mind recruiting him under his command.
Not long after, Lu Zhengguo arrived. After the two exchanged greetings for a while, Qi Tongwei handed six files to him and asked him to help investigate his background.
"No need. I investigated it half a month ago." Lu Zhengguo took out a stack of materials from his briefcase and found that Qi Tongwei was a little confused, so he explained: "After Teacher Gao called, I started collecting information."
"Thank you, senior brother." Qi Tongwei looked at the other party twice more. This senior brother made him look at him in a new light.
Qi Tongwei picked up the information on the table, looked through it carefully, and soon found the background of these six people.
His eyes stopped at one of the files, which read: "Wang Xing, male, Han nationality, 30 years old, high school education, native place: Jinghai City, served in the XX unit as a scout, won the second-class merit once and the third-class merit twice."
Qi Tongwei frowned and thought to himself, "It's a pity that Wang Xing is actually a relative of Liu Ning, the director of the Public Security Bureau. Otherwise, he would be a suitable candidate."
Shaking his head, he threw the file aside without hesitation and directly rejected this candidate.
This leaves only one driver who meets the requirements.
Qi Tongwei continued to check his file and found that the driver's name was Zhang Jun, also a demobilized soldier.
He also only had a high school education, was a scout, and won two second-class merits. Later, he made a mistake in the execution of the mission, resulting in the death of a bandit, and was eventually forced to retire. Afterwards, he married a girl from Jinghai, and was able to transfer to Jinghai.
Qi Tongwei took note of this person and prepared to meet him in person to determine whether he was suitable.
Then he put Zhang Jun's file aside and looked at the files of the other four secretaries again.
Two of them were from the neighboring county and graduated from ordinary universities. One was a relative of the director of the Statistics Bureau, and the other was a relative of the wife of Deputy County Mayor Ai Yongjie.
As a result, only two secretaries met the requirements. After Qi Tongwei looked through them, he found that both of them graduated from prestigious universities, and one of them was 36 years old and still an ordinary cadre.
Qi Tongwei looked at Lu Zhengming and motioned him to explain.
"Li Fei was the secretary of the last county magistrate, Liu Yushan. He should have been promoted to a deputy section-level cadre a long time ago, but Liu Yushan suddenly died of a heart attack, and there was no time to place him.
Liu Yushan and Liu Shihu don't get along, so naturally no one promoted Li Fei, and no one made use of him." Lu Zhengyang quickly introduced the situation.
No one would use the previous secretaries, and Qi Tongwei was no exception. So there was only one person left.
Qi Tongwei has preliminarily finalized the candidates for secretary and driver, but whether to use them or not still needs to be confirmed after meeting them. With his experience as an official in two lifetimes, few people can deceive him.
