Chapter 205: Appointment as Acting Mayor of Green Vine
On September 2001, 9, the Organization Department of the Handong Provincial Party Committee formally nominated Qi Tongwei as the deputy secretary of the Luteng Municipal Party Committee and mayor.
On the same day, the Standing Committee of the Handong Provincial Party Committee reviewed and voted on Qi Tongwei's nomination. With the support of Secretary Li of the Provincial Party Committee, the vote was successfully passed.
The provincial party committee immediately issued an appointment document, officially confirming Qi Tongwei as the nominee for deputy secretary of the Luteng Municipal Party Committee and mayor.
After receiving the notice, the Luteng Municipal Party Committee immediately initiated relevant procedures, nominated Qi Tongwei as the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and acting mayor, and submitted the appointment to the Municipal People's Congress Standing Committee for appointment.
This marked the completion of Qi Tongwei's new identity transformation, and he officially became the main leader of a prefecture-level city.
After Qi Tongwei was appointed as mayor, it caused discomfort to many people, including the executive vice mayor Xie Zhonglin who had been obsessed with the position of mayor, and of course our Luzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau Director Hou Liangping.
"Is he the mayor now? Why does Qi Tongwei get all the good things?" Hou Liangping's eyes were almost red with envy.
Zhao Xiaohui rolled her eyes at him and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? You are 30 years old and you are not much worse than Qi Tongwei. Now that Secretary Li Baoguo is still in office, Qi Tongwei's promotion will certainly be faster.
Once he leaves Handong, Qi Tongwei will inevitably slow down.
You are different. In March next year, the Luzhou municipal government will be replaced. If nothing unexpected happens, you will become the deputy mayor in charge of political and legal affairs. It is not certain who will be faster or slower in the future."
"You are the best." Hou Liangping's interest increased when he heard this, and he immediately began to serve Zhao Xiaohui diligently.
He finally understood that no matter how great his achievements were, they would not be as good as satisfying Zhao Xiaohui. As long as he could hold on to her, his own progress would no longer be a dream.
"I have to leave Luzhou District and live in Beijing for a while tomorrow. My father-in-law is sick and he will probably catch a cold." After finishing, Zhao Xiaohui lay on Hou Liangping's chest, drawing circles with satisfaction.
Hou Liangping has been exercising regularly in recent years and has served Zhao Xiaohui very well. She spends almost one-third of her time with Hou Liangping, while she and her legal husband have not had sex for more than three years.
From this we can see that our comrade Hou Liangping is very skilled in his work.
Not to mention how shameless the two of them were and how jealous Hou Liangping was, after Qi Tongwei left Jinghai, he stayed with his wife and children for more than a week.
At the same time, people were sent to investigate Green Vine City and were prepared to go to Green Vine at any time.
Two weeks later, Qi Tongwei officially took office in Luteng City.
According to convention, when the top leaders of the party and government of a prefecture-level city take office, they are usually seen off in person by a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Minister of the Provincial Party Committee's Organization Department. This behavior is vividly referred to as "platforming."
Doing so not only demonstrates the provincial party committee's attention and support for the new leadership, but also sends a signal to the outside world that the organization has a serious attitude towards cadre appointments.
Qi Tongwei's appointment was neither a normal standard, nor an excessive standard nor a low standard, and he was seen off by Kuang Yingjie, Minister of the Organization Department of the Handong Provincial Party Committee.
After arriving at Luteng, the first thing we saw was a welcome reception from Luteng and a meeting with the new mayor, Qi Tongwei, which was held in the government auditorium.
There were five tables on the rostrum, each with a nameplate printed on it. They were the top leaders of the three teams headed by Huang Pengda, secretary of the Luteng Municipal Party Committee, as well as Qi Tongwei and Kuang Yingjie.
Qi Tongwei sat in the middle with Kuang Yingjie and Huang Pengda. Sitting below the stage were other members of the Standing Committee of Luteng City, members of the four leading groups, and the main leaders of the municipal agencies, districts and counties, as well as heads of state-owned enterprises.
After the meeting started, Kuang Yingjie announced the appointment letter from the Provincial Party Committee and encouraged Qi Tongwei to continue his efforts and achieve new heights.
Next was Huang Pengda, who, on behalf of the Luteng Municipal Party Committee, welcomed Qi Tongwei's arrival and hoped that under his leadership, Luteng's economy would achieve new heights.
Next came the Chairman of the National People's Congress, who also welcomed Qi Tongwei's arrival.
After that it was Qi Tongwei's turn.
“After entering the new millennium, all regions have been developing in full swing, and all projects have one purpose, which is to work hard and fast.
On the surface, this may seem like economic development, but this is false and the people's living standards have not improved much. This phenomenon needs to be rectified urgently.
We need to re-plan urban construction on the basis of past experience, rationalize the layout, stimulate urban vitality, and create more employment opportunities.
Due to time constraints, I will not go into details today.
But my goal in coming to Luteng is very clear - to promote economic development with all my strength.
In recent years, Luteng's development has lagged behind that of surrounding cities. The provincial party committee has publicly criticized Luteng's practices many times. It is very necessary for us to reverse this situation.
This is not only to meet the expectations of the leadership, but also to satisfy the people and make them truly feel the happiness and reward of living in this era.”
Qi Tongwei showed his determination to everyone without hesitation. He decided to follow Li Dakang's example and establish the image of "when he is the mayor, the mayor has the final say, and when he is the party secretary, the party secretary has the final say".
As Qi Tongwei finished his speech, the audience burst into warm applause.
However, if you observe carefully, you will find that many people's applause is just a superficial response and there is obviously resistance.
After the meeting, Huang Pengda, on behalf of the Municipal Party Committee, once again expressed warm welcome to Qi Tongwei and invited Kuang Yingjie and Qi Tongwei to have dinner at the Luteng Guesthouse.
After the welcome banquet, Kuang Yingjie said goodbye and left, returning to Jingzhou overnight.
……
The next morning, Qi Tongwei got up early, washed up quickly, and went straight to the city government.
When he arrived at the mayor's office, he looked through the window at the back of the city government and found that construction was going on there. Qi Tongwei curiously asked Zhang Zhihua, the secretary general of the city government.
"What's the project outside and how long has it been going on?"
"Construction of municipal facilities, construction of a plastic track." Zhang Zhihua replied respectfully.
"Plastic track." Qi Tongwei frowned. He started to take action before he even took office. He was really quick and the intelligence was accurate.
Needless to say, he knew who this plastic track was built for. Just because he liked running, these people built a plastic track specifically for him.
It is truly said that “what the superiors like, the subordinates will like even more”!
Fortunately, golf is not my favorite sport. If it were, maybe someone would really spend a lot of effort to build a golf course.
Thinking of this, Qi Tongwei smiled helplessly. He was used to such things in his previous life.
Catering to others' preferences seems to be a common phenomenon wherever you go.
Take the previous life for example. Zhao Lichun liked to play tennis, so the people below built a tennis court. Sha Ruijin liked to play basketball, but less than a week after he arrived, the people below turned the tennis court into a basketball court.
In order to cater to Sha Ruijin's hobbies, Governor Liu even set up a basketball team. The provincial party committee also set up a basketball team, with Sha Ruijin as the captain.
Qi Tongwei did not stop the project. Although he did not like this style, he could not appear to be a maverick.
He has not yet gained a firm foothold in Green Vine City and needs to slowly get familiar with it.
