Chapter 282 Entering the department!
After returning to Luteng from the capital, Qi Tongwei made arrangements for personnel work.
With the help of his father-in-law, Song Jie successfully went to Pingzhou City, Han River Province to serve as mayor.
At the same time, Qi Tongwei recommended He Yong to be the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission and Director of the Public Security Bureau, and other confidants also received corresponding positions and treatment.
"Chengyang, your Xiaoyu Wonton owner won't have any objection if you come with me to Beijing, right?" Qi Tongwei asked with a smile.
Li Chengyang smiled and replied, "That's not possible. The Luteng wonton shop will be run by my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Jingjing will go to Beijing with me and open another branch there."
Qi Tongwei opened the drawer, took out a key and handed it to Li Chengyang.
"What is this?" Li Chengyang asked curiously.
Qi Tongwei explained: "You need a house to open a wonton shop. This is my own property. You can use it first and owe the rent. You can pay it when you make money."
Li Chengyang took the key and expressed his gratitude.
Then he said, “I’ll accept the house, so Jingjing doesn’t have to look for one anymore, but the rent must be paid.
I sold 10% of the shares of Xinshuai Group as you instructed, and exchanged them all for shares of Moutai and Tongxun Company. Now we are not short of money."
"Okay, that's it. If you have any needs, please let me know at any time. Take care of things at home in the next few days and then wait for the transfer order." Qi Tongwei instructed.
Qi Tongwei did not have to wait too long. Less than a month after returning from Beijing, his new appointment was issued - he served as Deputy Minister of Culture and concurrently as a lecturer at the Central Party School.
After two lifetimes, Qi Tongwei finally took the crucial step and "entered the ministry"!
Before taking office, Qi Tongwei specially organized a private banquet and invited some of his former confidants and subordinates to attend.
"Secretary Qi, I'd like to toast you!" said Li Yue, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, raising his glass.
"Secretary Li, you have to drink a cup as a punishment. From now on, you can't call him Secretary Qi anymore. You should change to Minister Qi." At this time, CPPCC Chairman Guo Wenjian reminded with a smile.
Although Guo Wenjian's performance in the campaign against organized crime was not outstanding, he was brought over from Jinghai by Qi Tongwei after all, so Qi Tongwei still promoted him to a full-time department-level leader.
Because of this, other subordinates respect Qi Tongwei even more.
"The title is just a formality, don't take it too seriously. There's no need for everyone to toast one by one. Let's raise our glasses together and wish everyone here a bright and glorious future!" Qi Tongwei suggested with a smile.
After the farewell banquet, Qi Tongwei handed over his work. There was still more than half a month before reporting, so he could use this time to spend time with his wife and children.
"Runze, Xinxin!" Qi Tongwei met his son and daughter playing at the door of his house.
"Dad, you're back." The son and daughter ran over excitedly and shouted into the house, "Mom, Mom, Dad is back."
"Are you two good kids? Did you listen to your mother?" Qi Tongwei said as he picked up his three-year-old daughter and walked towards home holding his son's hand.
"Be good, Xinxin is very good." The daughter said in a baby voice, which was very cute.
When I pushed the door open, Pei Qianqian was chatting with Gao Xiaoqin and Gao Xiaofeng.
"Xiaoqin and Xiaofeng are here?" Qi Tongwei said with a smile.
"Brother, I miss Runze and Xinxin. Come and see my godson and goddaughter." Gao Xiaoqin said with a smile.
This girl has now grown into a qualified manager. Pei Qianqian has transferred almost all the work to her. Gao Xiaofeng is now a teacher at Handong Normal University.
Neither of them was married. Qi Tongwei had tried to persuade them about this issue many times, but it was of no use. So he just gave up.
"Is the matter settled?" Pei Qianqian said gently.
Qi Tongwei found that his wife was becoming more and more beautiful. Time seemed to have forgotten her without leaving any trace, and her temperament was gentle and generous.
"Now that we've dealt with it, I'm sorry to trouble you and me to move." Qi Tongwei said apologetically.
Pei Qianqian shook her head and said, "It's okay. I've been used to it since I was a child. I moved a lot because of my dad when I was a child."
Qi Tongwei did not continue the topic, but turned his gaze to Gao Xiaoqin, his eyes revealing a hint of curiosity and confusion, and slowly asked: "I heard that Zhao Ruilong asked you for investment, what's going on?"
Gao Xiaoqin replied, "It's a real estate project about Jingzhou Development. Considering that you reminded me before not to get too close to Zhao Ruilong, I decisively rejected him."
After hearing this, Qi Tongwei smiled with satisfaction, nodded slightly to express his appreciation, and said, "Well done, our investment company should focus on high-tech fields and some agricultural support industries, and resolutely not get involved in the real estate industry.
What we need is not real estate projects, but scientific research projects with innovative potential.”
Pei Qianqian then added: “Zhao Ruilong has a bad reputation in Handong. He relied on the power of his father, Secretary Zhao Lichun, and made a huge fortune simply through project bidding.
This real estate project does look very attractive, but in fact, his real purpose in seeking investment from Xiaoqin was not for the real estate project itself, but to test the waters and try to acquire a stake in our Tongxun Company."
Qi Tongwei couldn't help but laugh and said jokingly, "Who said this kid has a bad eye? He really discovered the gold mine of Tongxun!"
"Even if he can't find out, the think tank will. This doesn't mean anything. Your decision to stay away from Zhao Lichun is the right one." Pei Qianqian said seriously.
Qi Tongwei naturally knew that he couldn't get too close to Zhao Lichun, but he was looking at it from the perspective of a reborn person, which Pei Qianqian was not, so it was unknown how he saw it.
So Qi Tongwei asked curiously: "How did you come to this conclusion?"
Pei Qianqian sorted out her thoughts and said, "I saw this from Zhao Ruilong and Zhao Xiaohui. Zhao Ruilong relied on his father's power to embezzle a lot of state-owned assets in Handong.
The same is true for Zhao Xiaohui. When she is mixed up with Hou Liangping, there is a saying that she is half the head of the Organization Department of Handong Province. These are all taboos. "
Qi Tongwei nodded, and then asked curiously: "How is Hou Liangping now? Are there any rumors of illegal activities?"
Pei Qianqian thought for a moment and said, "All the news about Hou Liangping is gossip. If you don't pay attention to the other things, you won't know. Zhao Xiaohui gave birth to a son for him, and Liang Lu has completely ignored him."
"I'm afraid we can't control it." Qi Tongwei said lightly.
"I don't know what Liang Lu is thinking. Why doesn't she get divorced?" Pei Qianqian asked puzzledly.
"It's because of Hou Liangping's status. He is now the executive vice director of the Public Security Department of Handong Province. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the next director of the Public Security Department. Liang Lu will not get divorced because she can't afford to lose face." He was very familiar with Liang Lu.
Hearing this, Pei Qianqian couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect Hou Liangping's career to be so smooth, Liang Lu would not want to divorce for such a reason."
Qi Tongwei smiled and said, "This is reality. Often, people will make choices that go against their will because of various interests."
He didn't care about Hou Liangping's progress. With a weak foundation, his future was almost doomed and he would most likely sink with the Zhao family.
"Let's not talk about them. Mom called and said the procedures for the two children's transfer have been completed. They can go to class at any time." Pei Qianqian didn't want to continue the topic of Hou Liangping.
"My parents must have been waiting for a long time. The old lady likes children now. You guys chat first. I smell of alcohol, so I'm going to take a shower first." Qi Tongwei said and left.
