Chapter 352: Promotion
"Tongwei, no difficulty can be solved overnight. We can only do as much as we can."
Pei Yihong paused and continued, "I know you can't stand this phenomenon, and Dad can't stand it either, but this is not something you can expose with your current identity."
On the phone, Pei Yihong warned Qi Tongwei in a very serious manner, fearing that he would not be able to distinguish the importance of the matter.
"Dad, I understand." How could Qi Tongwei not understand these principles? He just felt unwilling to accept it.
"Tongwei, the country still has many problems, and the social injustice is not limited to this one. If you want everything to go according to your wishes, then you have to work hard.
If one day you can take charge of the world, you will have the final say on how to solve it." Pei Yihong said earnestly.
Qi Tongwei said seriously: "Dad, I understand."
After talking on the phone with his father-in-law Pei Yihong, Qi Tongwei temporarily put the matter aside and planned to resolve it after he came to power, but he did not do nothing.
Qi Tongwei originally planned to use Qiongzhou as a breakthrough point and then promote it nationwide, but in the end he had to stop because of too many obstacles and only deal with Qiongzhou province.
Now that Wang Hongfa's gang and his protectors have been arrested, all that's left is the final prosecution and trial. Qi Tongwei doesn't have much time left to stay in Qiongzhou.
Qi Tongwei understood that people in Qiongzhou were eager for him to leave immediately, and that they would deal with any clues of the case he handed over seriously. Therefore, he handed over the issue of Zhang Jiahui and the prison to the Qiongzhou Provincial Party Committee.
In order to enable Qi Tongwei to leave Qiongzhou as soon as possible, departments at all levels in Qiongzhou worked together and made every effort, showing unprecedented strong strength.
In just less than half a month, Zhang Jiahui and his wife were quickly caught by the law, and they will surely be imprisoned. At the same time, the prison issue is also being dealt with.
Half a month later, the Guangdong Provincial Higher People's Court held a public first-instance trial of Wang Hongfa's case involving organized crime and his "protective umbrella".
Faced with the ironclad evidence, neither the vicious gangsters nor the criminals hiding behind them as their protectors had any room for denial or quibbling and could only bow their heads and plead guilty.
Among them, the defendant Wang Hongfa was charged with 16 crimes including organizing and leading a criminal gang, intentional injury, etc., and was sentenced to death, deprivation of political rights for life, and confiscation of all personal property.
His other brothers and younger brothers were also sentenced to varying terms of suspended death penalty, life imprisonment, and twenty years in prison. Since then, this underworld gang that had been entrenched in Changhe County for many years has completely disappeared.
A large number of masterminds behind the scenes were also brought down one after another. Since then, this mafia case that shocked the whole country was completely over. Qi Tongwei and others were happily sent away from Qiongzhou by Qiongzhou’s leading cadres.
……
Time passed quickly. It was already March 2014 when I returned from Qiongzhou, and it was not long before Zhao Lichun was transferred from Handong.
After returning to the central government, Qi Tongwei became completely free and began to prepare for his upcoming role as the head of Handong.
The first is the degree of appointment.
Under his operation, Zhao Donglai, director of the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, was promoted to member of the Party Committee and Director of the Political Department of the Handong Provincial Public Security Department, and his status was second only to Hou Liangping, the Public Security Department Director.
After Zhao Donglai left, Dudu was promoted to the director of Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau.
"Donglai, why didn't you ask for my opinion on the appointment of the director of the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau?" Li Dakang said dissatisfiedly.
"Secretary Li, I was also confused. I didn't know what was going on when I received a call from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, asking me to undergo an investigation." Zhao Donglai looked regretful on the surface, but he was very happy in his heart.
Although the director of the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau and the director of the Political Department of the Provincial Public Security Department are both members of the Party Committee, and even the director of the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau has more power, the director of the Political Department still ranks higher in politics.
It is almost impossible for the director of Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau to be promoted to the director of Provincial Public Security Department in one step, as there are many people ahead of him, including the political commissar, deputy directors, etc.
But it is only natural for the director of the political department to take office as the director of the provincial public security department.
However, as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Li Dakang's status was far higher than Zhao Donglai's, so he did not show it, but continued to show his loyalty to Li Dakang.
"Okay, I didn't know your little thoughts yet, I don't know how happy you are now.
Forget it, let’s talk about the new director’s level.
I didn't realize before that he had such connections. He could even let the Ministry of Public Security directly intervene in the appointment of the Municipal Bureau. Whose connections did he find?" Li Dakang waved his hand to signal Zhao Donglai not to say anything and changed the topic.
"You mentioned Dushu. In my opinion, if nothing unexpected happens, it should be because of the relationship between Qi Tongwei, deputy secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection." Zhao Donglai then carefully recounted the matter of Dushu being transferred to the central supervision team to handle the case in Qiongzhou.
After listening to this, Li Dakang's eyes flashed with curiosity, and he couldn't help asking, "Is it Qi Tongwei from Handong, the one who is known as the officialdom's phobia?"
Zhao Donglai nodded and explained, "It is said that when he was the secretary of the Green Vine Municipal Party Committee, he assigned Dudu to handle the case, and the two of them had a close relationship."
"I see. How's the status?" Li Dakang was actually a little dissatisfied when he said this, because the status has not come to him to report until now.
Zhao Donglai said seriously: "Secretary Li, Dudu is a very capable person. But he has a problem, that is, he is very principled and does not know how to adapt."
When he mentioned "speaking of principles", he deliberately raised his voice, as if to emphasize the importance of this point.
Li Dakang quickly understood what Zhao Donglai meant. He knew that he was saying that Dudu might not blindly follow orders from his superiors, but would most likely handle things in a fair and impartial manner and step by step. This made him feel a little dissatisfied.
His ideal Public Security Bureau chief should be like Zhao Donglai, who would rush into action without hesitation as long as he gave the order and could handle all matters perfectly with lightning speed, rather than the kind of Public Security Bureau chief who would always stick to principles and laws with him.
Zhao Donglai was indeed wrong about this. Dudu was not pedantic, nor was he the kind of investigator who strictly followed rules. The reason he had such an impression was that Dudu did not want to listen to his random orders and did so on purpose.
If it were Qi Tongwei, there would be no problem using one at a time.
In the end, Li Dakang did not object to the appointment. His main focus now was on how to win the position of governor. Governor Liu was about to leave office, and he had been eyeing this position for a while.
If the appointment leaves a bad impression on the leader because of the degree of opposition, it will not be worth it.
After becoming the provincial governor, he also needed the support of various departments. The Public Security Bureau, as a government agency, was indeed a force he needed to win over, so he became closer to Zhao Donglai.
"Donglai, work hard after you get to the Public Security Department. Once Secretary Zhao is transferred away from Handong, Hou Liangping may not be able to hold on to the position of Public Security Department director. You must be prepared to take over at any time." Li Dakang reminded in a low voice.
Zhao Donglai hurriedly agreed. He really looked down on Hou Liangping and felt that he did have a chance to take over the position of Public Security Bureau from him.
While the two were talking, secretary Xiao Jin came to report that Dudu had come to report on his work.
Li Dakang glanced at Zhao Donglai and said, "Okay, you go down first." Then he told his secretary Xiao Jin to ask Dudu to come over.
