Chapter 219 Municipal Government Party Committee Meeting

"Tongwei, do you think they can succeed?" After dinner, everyone left, leaving the space for Pei Shaowei and Lu Yike.

“I think there’s a lot of hope.”

Pei Qianqian also nodded slightly. She also saw the interaction between the two people at the dinner table just now and felt very hopeful.

"The next job is Big Brother's, we have no right to interfere." Qi Tongwei said with a smile, then turned to look at his son, "Do you want to go to the movies?"

"Great!" Xiao Xiao Qi shouted happily when he heard that his father was going to take him to the movies.

So, the family of three went to the cinema happily.

At the same time, Pei Shaowei and Lu Yike were walking on the street, chatting about topics of their respective interests. It seemed that the day when Qi Tongwei would call Lu Yike sister-in-law was not far away.

Time passed quickly, and before Qi Tongwei could enjoy the family happiness, he had to return to Luteng and start a new journey.

"What happened to you? Did you have a fight with someone?" Secretary Xu Pengfei had a bandage on his nose and his eyes looked bruised. It was obvious that he had been beaten a lot.

"I..." Xu Pengfei looked at Qi Tongwei with a face full of grievance.

Qi Tongwei frowned impatiently and said sternly: "Tell me, what happened? Don't hesitate!"

Seeing Xu Pengfei like this, he was also very angry. After all, Xu Pengfei was his secretary. As the saying goes, you should not look at the monk's face, but the Buddha's face. When you beat a dog, you should also look at its owner. Isn't this just not giving him face?

Seeing Qi Tongwei getting angry, Xu Pengfei dared not hide it anymore and explained in a low voice: "The night before yesterday, my girlfriend suddenly called me and said that her period was gone.

I thought to myself, we have been dating for so long, and now that her period is over, I have to show some appreciation.

So, early yesterday morning, without even having time to eat breakfast, I hurriedly bought a wreath and some flower baskets and rushed to her aunt's house.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I knocked on the door and it opened, before I could say anything, her two cousins ​​rushed out and beat me up without saying a word.

Considering my girlfriend's relationship, I did not choose to call the police, but told her about it.

What I never expected was that not only did she not understand me, but she punched me hard in the eye and wanted to break up with me."

"You deserved the beating." Qi Tongwei looked at Xu Pengfei in surprise. He really didn't expect that his secretary would be such a straight man.

"I..." Xu Pengfei was a little unconvinced and still felt that he had been wronged.

Qi Tongwei couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he explained, "This aunt is not that aunt. Who wouldn't be angry if someone sent you a wreath or a flower basket so early in the morning? It's already very restrained that she didn't beat you up."

Xu Pengfei still had a face full of question marks, not understanding what it meant.

Qi Tongwei looked at Xu Pengfei speechlessly, and when he saw the driver Zhang Jun who was cleaning the office next to him, looking like he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Zhang Jun, please explain something to this kid." Qi Tongwei shook his head and looked at the speech for tomorrow's meeting.

Zhang Jun walked up to Xu Pengfei and whispered something. Xu Pengfei's eyes widened with a surprised expression, and then his ears turned red. It seemed that he now knew what period meant.

Not to mention how Xu Pengfei will explain to his girlfriend, Qi Tongwei has already started thinking about how to carry out this year's work.

Although the work achievements in 2002 were remarkable and recognized by all parties, the situation this year may be more severe.

Because he knew very well that the SARS virus was about to wreak havoc. Although Handong was not a severely affected area, in the face of such an epidemic, the real challenge was not the virus itself, but the social chaos caused by people's panic and worry.

Qi Tongwei clearly remembers the panic buying craze caused by the SARS virus. Every daily necessity, from isatis root, Tamiflu to iodized salt, was snapped up by people, leaving the shelves of many supermarkets empty.

Therefore, Qi Tongwei must plan ahead and prepare response measures in advance, including rectifying medical institutions, cracking down on hoarding and so on.

In short, he had a heavy task on his shoulders in 2003.

But as long as we can get through this year smoothly, the various projects invested in last year will begin to take effect, and Luteng's economy will be expected to catch up and rank among the top in Handong Province.

The next day, Qi Tongwei organized the first party group meeting of the municipal government after the New Year, and the heads of some municipal units attended the meeting.

At the meeting, Qi Tongwei first reported on the achievements made by Luteng City in 2002, affirmed the achievements and pointed out the shortcomings, and required all leading cadres of the municipal government to carry forward the past and make every effort to do a good job in 2003.

Afterwards, Qi Tongwei organized everyone to study the spirit of the central government’s rural work.

"I believe everyone understands the requirements of the superiors, which is to put the solution of the "three rural issues" on the important agenda and truly implement the central government's policies and guidelines on doing a good job in the "three rural issues" in actual work."

Qi Tongwei emphasized this and continued, "We have a population of 680 million in Luteng, of which more than 560 million are engaged in agriculture. It can be seen that to achieve a well-off society, we must solve the problem of farmers.

A few years ago, I made a special trip to the countryside, and the feedback I got was not ideal.

Although there was a good harvest, farmers' lives did not get better but worse due to low grain prices.

This is worthy of our comrades’ attention!

Therefore, all the comrades sitting here should actively respond to the call of the Central Committee, take the lead in going deep into the countryside, and conduct investigations and studies. In particular, we should go to places with poor conditions and great difficulties, and work with grassroots cadres and the masses to study measures to develop the rural economy and increase farmers' income.

Comrade Liu Quan, you will be in charge of this work. Each leader will be in charge of a region and implement it layer by layer.

Of course, we are not going there to become officials, but to find ways to solve problems. Even if you don’t understand agricultural work, it is a good thing to use your connections to help your fellow villagers sell an extra pound of fruit.”

After finishing speaking, Qi Tongwei drank a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then continued: "We must make helping farmers increase their income the top priority in agriculture and rural work.

To this end, we need to increase investment in agricultural infrastructure construction and improve agricultural comprehensive production capacity; at the same time, we must vigorously develop deep processing of agricultural products, add value to agricultural products, and increase farmers’ income.”

Qi Tongwei paused and said, "Comrade Liu Quan, you are in charge of agricultural work. Please conduct an in-depth study and come up with a plan. The primary industry is the foundation and cannot be ignored."

"Yes, Mayor Qi." Deputy Mayor Liu Quan nodded in agreement.

"Comrade Yanjun, this year the fiscal budget must reserve 100 million yuan. When the summer and autumn grain harvests come, the government will repurchase part of the grain to ensure the price of grain and prevent the situation where low grain prices hurt farmers." Qi Tongwei looked at Gao Yanjun, director of the Municipal Finance Bureau.

"Okay, Mayor Qi, I understand." Gao Yanjun agreed immediately.

"Comrade Chu Zhidong, you know about the SARS virus, right?" Qi Tongwei looked at the director of the Health Bureau, Chu Zhidong.

Chu Zhidong obviously didn't know. He widened his eyes, not knowing what Qi Tongwei meant.

“Is this how you act as the Director of the Health Bureau?

You really don't know anything!

You tell me how many medical institutions there are in Luteng, how many practitioners there are, and how to prevent and control sudden infectious viruses! "Qi Tongwei raised his voice and looked at Chu Zhidong sharply.

Chu Zhidong's face was flushed, sweat rolled down his forehead, his lips were trembling, but he opened his mouth for a long time but couldn't say a word.

Qi Tongwei was too lazy to pay attention to him and turned his gaze to Ma Yan, the deputy mayor in charge of health work: "Comrade Ma Yan, from now on, you will be directly responsible for the city's medical and health work. The imaginary enemy is the SARS virus released by the country some time ago."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Chu Zhidong again, his tone serious and full of dissatisfaction: "As for you, stop your work first."

He could no longer tolerate the director of the Health Bureau and decided to immediately ask the Anti-Corruption Bureau to investigate to see if there was any corruption.

"Yes, Mayor Qi." Ma Yan nodded seriously.

Seeing that Qi Tongwei suspended Chu Zhidong's work because of the SARS virus, Ma Yan realized the seriousness of the problem and decided to make all-out preparations for the response.

Afterwards, everyone engaged in an intense meeting discussion and jointly studied the various tasks for 2003.

Qi Tongwei strictly divided responsibilities and clarified the specific tasks and goals of each department and position to ensure that every task was implemented and to avoid buck-passing and procrastination.
