Chapter 157 The Honest Man Qiang Ge

A few days later, Qi Tongwei sent An Xin, who was disguised as Meng Xin, to prison as planned, and deliberately placed him in the same cell with Crazy Donkey.

After completing these, Qi Tongwei specifically asked An Changlin to pay close attention to the progress and ensure An Xin's personal safety. He himself shifted the focus of his work to internal self-examination.

Qi Tongwei attached great importance to this internal self-examination. He wanted to identify the informants of Xu Jiang and other underworld organizations in the public security team through the internal self-examination.

Of course, what is more important is to clean up the team.

At present, the social atmosphere in Jinghai is very bad. The slogan in the society is that everything is about money and making a lot of money. This kind of thinking has affected the public security team to a certain extent, resulting in numerous problems within the public security team.

He hopes to solve the chronic problems in the public security force through internal self-inspection and activate everyone's enthusiasm for work and entrepreneurship.

To this end, he convened a special self-inspection and rectification mobilization meeting, and he quoted the sixteen-character policy of "loyalty to the Party, service to the people, fair law enforcement, and strict discipline" as the theme of the meeting.

As the Public Security Chief of later generations, Qi Tongwei was very familiar with some theories of later generations. He habitually quoted them, and this time he meant the same thing without giving it too much thought.

Unexpectedly, an accident happened. This 16-character guideline was originally proposed by leaders of later generations. It is very lofty both in terms of structure and intention.

The office staff made a brief report on the self-inspection and rectification meeting and submitted it to the Handong Provincial Legal Newspaper, which happened to be seen by a senior leader who was conducting research in Handong Province.

As a result, this sixteen-character guideline instantly became popular and appeared in major party newspapers and periodicals as well as internal public security reference materials. It was hailed as the general requirement for the construction of the public security team and the standard for public security in the new century.

For this reason, Qi Tongwei accepted interviews from many media outlets including CCTV, People's Daily, and Handong Provincial TV Station, and the nickname of the theorist spread like wildfire.

To be honest, he did not expect that his unintentional act would bring such a great effect, leaving a deep impression on the senior leader and laying a solid foundation for his future career.

There is a saying that if you plant flowers intentionally, they will not bloom, but if you plant willows unintentionally, they will create shade.

The internal self-examination did not achieve the effect that Qi Tongwei had originally wanted. No one was sent out to find him to surrender, nor was any information found about informants bribed by Xu Jiang and other underworld gangs in the public security team.

Of course, for Qi Tongwei, this 16-word policy is more effective than handling 100 major cases. This is the golden body for his future competition.

Of course, the self-inspection and rectification are not completely ineffective. Through self-inspection, many police officers were found to have violated discipline, oppressed vendors, and taken bribes.

Qi Tongwei demoted all these people and solemnly warned all police officers that if they happened again, they would be expelled from the public security team.

Although this self-inspection operation did not uncover informants of underworld gangs such as Xu Jiang, it narrowed the scope and identified several suspects, including Cao Chuang, the captain of the Criminal Police Brigade.

Moreover, through this rectification, the internal discipline of the Public Security Bureau has been greatly improved, and the phenomenon of taking bribes has been greatly reduced.

Although he was eager to take down the three major gangs, Qi Tongwei did not show it because he knew very well that once he revealed his flaws, the criminals would seize the opportunity.

The situation in Jinghai City is extremely complicated, and the forces behind it are intricate and complex, so he must always be vigilant and take every step carefully.

In the following period, An Xin tried to get close to Crazy Donkey in prison, and An Changlin assisted Qi Tongwei in presiding over the work of the Public Security Bureau.

During this period, Qi Tongwei discovered another talent, Deputy Director Guo Wenjian.

After several times of getting along, he found that this deputy director had a very clear mind. Although he might not be as good as An Changlin in solving cases, he was not inferior to An Changlin in all other aspects.

So he began to use Guo Wenjian, letting him take charge of the internal self-inspection and An Changlin handle the case.

Time passed quickly, and 1999 was over in the blink of an eye. It had been three months since Qi Tongwei arrived in Jinghai, and there had been no progress in the case. The only good news was that An Xin had initially gained the trust of Crazy Donkey.

Compared with the case, Qi Tongwei gained more. A 16-character policy allowed him to gain a firm foothold in the public security system and enter the attention of the Ministry of Public Security.

After three months in Jinghai, Qi Tongwei began to miss home. He handed over his work to An Changlin and Guo Wenjian and went home to see his wife and children.

What Qi Tongwei didn't know was that Gao Qiqiang, whom he asked Zhang Qiang and Liu Hu to investigate, was experiencing a turning point in his life, but this time An Xin was gone, so he didn't know where he should go.

Gao Qiqiang received news that the Old Factory Street Market would be renovated after the New Year and the management fee would increase again.

Although Gao Qiqiang was unhappy about the increase in management fees, he did not have any major objections. What he feared most was that he would not be allowed to renew his lease.

Now that his younger brother and sister are in college and need money, he dare not slack off.

On this day, the Jiuchang Street market was bustling with people and was particularly lively. Brothers Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu, wearing red armbands and with fat faces, walked around the market.

When Gao Qiqiang saw the two men, he quickly jumped out of the stall and chased after them.

"Well, I heard that the market will be renovated after the New Year, and the management fee will increase again?"

Gao Qiqiang smelled very fishy, ​​which made Tang Xiaolong very disgusted. He said with a look of disgust: "Why, you think it's too expensive? Then just quit. It just so happens that someone wants your stall and has told me many times."

Gao Qiqiang hurriedly explained: "No, no, I have no objection, I'm just worried that after the renovation is completed, I won't be able to rent it, so I want to book it in advance."

"Okay, you can book it in advance, but it requires bidding!" Xiaohu at the apple stall next door said with a smile.

"Bidding, what bidding?" Gao Qiqiang, an honest man, still didn't understand what the two brothers meant.

"Let me tell you, the threshold of my house is almost broken because of your stall. You have to show your appreciation no matter what."

Tang Xiaohu knew that Gao Qiqiang was an honest man, so he didn't wait for him to answer. He glanced at Xiaohu and said, "Xiaohu, what's the name of that big color TV you like?"

Xiao Hu stared at Gao Qiqiang and chuckled, "Brother, you are too unsophisticated. That's called a plasma TV."

After saying this, the two of them no longer paid any attention to Gao Qiqiang, but continued talking as they walked, talking all the time about the plasma TV.

Gao Qiqiang watched the two people walking away, standing there in a daze. He was honest but not stupid, so how could he not understand what they meant? They were asking him for a plasma TV!

He wanted to ignore the two of them, but he was afraid that he would not be allowed to renew his lease on the stall after the New Year. The location of his stall was very good and his business was particularly good. Of course, the most important thing was that Gao Qiqiang knew how to do business and how to make concessions.

Anyone who buys fish at his stall often has the change removed from their bill.

After closing the stall, Gao Qiqiang entered the chain supermarket opened by Pei Qianqian. On the eve of the Spring Festival, the supermarket was particularly crowded. Gao Qiqiang squeezed for a long time before he finally got to the TV counter.

Gao Qiqiang didn't know what a plasma TV was, so he asked about the price of one.

"We are having a New Year's promotion, with a 9% discount on televisions. A discounted plasma TV costs yuan." The salesgirl's words made Gao Qiqiang's face darken. How could he have so much money?

Thinking of the stall, Gao Qiqiang gritted his teeth and spent almost all his savings to buy an ordinary color TV to give to brothers Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu.

What he didn't know was that because he was giving away ordinary color TVs, he would have to find a new stall in the new year.
