Chapter 283 The Highest Level of Flattery
"Hello, Minister Liu, I am Qi Tongwei." The first thing Qi Tongwei did after taking office was to report to Minister Liu Zheng.
In the office, when Minister Liu saw Qi Tongwei, he immediately stood up and warmly welcomed him: "Comrade Tongwei, I have long heard of your name! I have read all your works."
Hearing these words of praise, Qi Tongwei smiled slightly, but did not take it seriously.
Adults often have many faces, especially in official circles. What they say may not be from the heart, so sometimes you just need to listen.
If you take it too seriously, you may end up making a fool of yourself.
Therefore, Qi Tongwei responded modestly: "Minister Liu, you are too kind. My work still has many shortcomings. If there is anything inappropriate in my future work, please give me your advice and criticism."
Qi Tongwei did not want to continue talking about his own works. After all, it was his own business and there was nothing to brag about being a plagiarist.
Minister Liu smiled, his eyes revealing a sincere look, and slowly said: "Comrade Tongwei, the thinking patterns of us old guys have long been fixed, and it is difficult to innovate in our work.
The future development still depends on young and promising people like you.
From now on, the work of literature and art will be entirely yours. Unless you encounter a particularly important and necessary situation, you will make your own decisions."
Qi Tongwei looked at Liu Zheng, wondering whether what he said was true.
In fact, what Liu Zheng said really came from his heart.
He knew that his career had reached its peak, and the best outcome would be to work in the CPPCC and get some benefits. On the contrary, Qi Tongwei was different, he had unlimited potential and opportunities.
Therefore, Liu Zheng is willing to give Qi Tongwei full autonomy and trust, hoping that he can achieve greater success in this field. Whoever can deny Qi Tongwei will not be promoted to the Seven Samurai.
Although I cannot use the friendship I have now, my children may be able to use it.
After several attempts, Qi Tongwei finally determined that Liu Zheng had completely delegated power to him and provided him with a platform to display his talents.
After finishing the report, Qi Tongwei returned to his office. Li Chengyang was looking through materials from the literary and art circles in recent years in order to provide Qi Tongwei with the role of a staff assistant.
"Minister, I regret applying to the police academy. I can earn more as a celebrity," Li Chengyang joked.
During his ten years as the new coach, Li Chengyang was completely different from other secretaries and sometimes he would make harmless jokes with Qi Tongwei.
Qi Tongwei responded with a smile: "You know what, you look a bit like that actor named Sun something."
"Sun Honglei, right? Jingjing also said that I look like him. This is absolutely a slander against me. I am much more handsome than that bull terrier." Li Chengyang defended himself.
After the joke, Li Chengyang said seriously: "Minister, you are in charge of the Art Department, Cultural Industry, Cultural Technology, Cultural Market, Social Culture, Intangible Cultural Heritage, and Foreign Cultural Relations Department. The directors of each department asked you when it is convenient for you. They want to come and report on their work."
Qi Tongwei thought for a moment and said, "I am still a layman in cultural work, so I'd better go and do the research. Inform everyone to be prepared. I will start to investigate the above-mentioned units one by one from tomorrow."
"Yes, Minister Qi." Li Chengyang was still very serious when it came to business.
Afterwards, Qi Tongwei began his research activities.
Wherever he went, he would listen carefully to the reports from the directors of various departments, read relevant report materials, and broaden his horizons.
During the first week, Qi Tongwei did not go anywhere. Apart from investigating various departments and listening to their reports, he spent most of his time reading various materials.
Although the work of the Ministry of Culture cannot directly bring credit like the work of other departments, it is more likely to gain attention and recognition from higher-level leaders.
Of course, the work of the Ministry of Culture is also very rigorous. The formulation of each policy requires repeated research and demonstration, and the tolerance rate is much lower than other positions.
For Qi Tongwei, this is both a challenge and an opportunity.
After taking office, Qi Tongwei did not rush to make drastic changes to the old working model, but chose to carry out his work in a steady and step-by-step manner.
He was well aware of the truth that "sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood", so in the early days of his tenure he focused on familiarizing himself with the work. At the same time, he also started his journey of party school life.
Although he is just a small lecturer now, he does not feel dissatisfied or despise the job at all.
Because this is the National Academy of Administration, it is common for even provincial and ministerial leaders to take classes here, so for Qi Tongwei, this is a great paradise for expanding his network of contacts.
Because of this, Qi Tongwei attaches great importance to his work as a lecturer. He prepares lessons carefully before each class and cleverly incorporates some future information into the teaching content, which he tells those who come to listen to his lectures.
In addition, he would occasionally talk about the problems and challenges he encountered when working in Green Ivy City in the past, reminding those in power not to limit their focus to the real estate industry, but to consider the whole picture and have a long-term vision and the concept of sustainable development.
In this way, half a year passed in a flash, and Qi Tongwei had completely adapted to the work rhythm of the Ministry of Culture and was also familiar with the teaching work of the Central Party School.
Not only that, his teaching style is easy to understand and is deeply welcomed and appreciated by students.
Qi Tongwei took the opportunity to ask him some theoretical knowledge.
This was also the biggest gain of Qi Tongwei's trip to Beijing. Until this time, Qi Tongwei was completely sure that surpassing his father-in-law was no longer a dream.
On September 2009, 9, Minister Liu Zheng presided over the study of resolutions on a number of issues.
These resolutions cover various fields and are of great significance in promoting the development of the cultural front.
After the study, Qi Tongwei cleared his throat and broke the silence.
He said slowly: "During this period, I have been giving lectures at the Party School and communicating with experts, scholars and school leaders. Some people proposed the concept of national prosperity, national rejuvenation and people's happiness, which touched me deeply."
He paused and continued, “I think this is not only a personal philosophy, but also the common dream of all Chinese people.
This dream represents our beautiful vision for the future and is also the goal we strive for. As the Ministry of Culture, we should actively respond to this call and take practical actions to promote the prosperity and development of cultural undertakings.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone became interested. This was the highest level of flattery, and the key was that it would not annoy people.
"Comrade Tongwei, what do you think?" Liu Zheng interrupted everyone.
Qi Tongwei expressed his decision after planning for many days: "Minister Liu, can our Ministry of Culture make some efforts around these 12 words? Through various forms of publicity and promotion, let more people understand and agree with this concept.
At the same time, we can also benchmark the so-called "ugly country dream" and create our own dreams as Chinese people, showing our unique cultural charm and value pursuit. "
"Tongwei, please write something around these 12 words and I will ask the leader to take a look." Liu Zheng said cautiously.
Qi Tongwei nodded and agreed. In fact, he had already written it down. These theories had already been fully matured in later generations. He just needed to use them.
