Chapter 141 Political Turmoil 9
Zhang Feihu stared at Qi Tongwei with a sharp gaze, trying to catch a hint of unusual fluctuations on his face.
He knew that Qi Tongwei was a smart man and would not easily reveal his cards.
But Zhang Feihu knew better that at this critical moment, any piece of information could become a breakthrough for reform.
"Qi Tongwei,"
Zhang Feihu spoke slowly, his voice full of unquestionable authority, "I know you are an ambitious person, but at this critical juncture, I hope you can recognize the situation and make a wise choice."
Qi Tongwei's heart trembled. He understood the hidden meaning of Zhang Feihu's words. He took a deep breath.
After adjusting his mood, he calmly replied: "Mr. Zhang Feihu, I understand what you mean.
I do have ambitions, but I know that only by following the trend of the times can I achieve greater things.
I am willing to cooperate with you and contribute my own strength to the reform of Handong."
Zhang Feihu nodded slightly, expressing his approval of Qi Tongwei's statement.
He knew that Qi Tongwei was a capable person and if he could be won over to the reform camp.
It will undoubtedly greatly enhance the power of reform.
"Very good," Zhang Feihu said, "I believe your choice is correct.
Now, I need you to do something for me."
Qi Tongwei immediately said: "Please give me your orders, I will do my best."
Zhang Feihu said in a deep voice: "I want you to pay close attention to Zhao Lichun's movements.
Although he seems to have accepted the reforms, I suspect he is still plotting something behind the scenes. You used to be his right-hand man, so you should know him very well."
Qi Tongwei's heart moved. He knew that this was a test as well as an opportunity.
If he can perform well in this matter, his weight in Zhang Feihu's heart will be greatly enhanced.
"I understand. I will pay close attention to Zhao Lichun's every move and report to you immediately if there is any situation."
Qi Tongwei said firmly.
Zhang Feihu nodded with satisfaction. He stood up, walked to the window and looked at the busy street outside.
He said slowly: "Handong's reform is a tough battle, which requires the wisdom and courage of each of us.
I believe that as long as we unite as one, nothing is impossible.”
"Yes, Mr. Zhang, you are right, but the beginning is always the hardest."
Qi Tongwei turned around and left, but Zhang Feihu stopped him from behind and said, "I don't agree with what you said.
Because I think that by doing this, you are intentionally weakening the strength of our team."
Zhang Feihu's words echoed in Qi Tongwei's heart like morning bells and evening drums.
He stopped, turned and faced Zhang Feihu, with a complicated look in his eyes.
He knew that Zhang Feihu's suspicion was not groundless.
But he knew better that if he couldn't prove himself at this moment.
Then all previous efforts may come to naught.
"Mr. Zhang, I understand your concerns."
Qi Tongwei's voice was calm and firm, "But please believe that everything I have done,
All of this is for the great cause of reform and for the future of Handong.
I have no intention of weakening the team, on the contrary, I hope to contribute my own strength, no matter how small it is.”
Zhang Feihu looked at Qi Tongwei with a sharp gaze.
He could feel the sincerity in Qi Tongwei's words, but years of political struggle would not make him let down his guard easily.
He was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Tongwei, I know you have the ability and ambition.
But at this critical moment, we need not only ability, but also loyalty, do you understand?"
"I understand, Mr. Zhang."
Qi Tongwei took a deep breath. He knew that his answer would determine his fate. "I am willing to prove my loyalty with my actions."
Zhang Feihu nodded, turned around and sat back at his desk, picked up a document and handed it to Qi Tongwei: "This is Zhao Lichun's recent action report. I need you to analyze it carefully.
Look for any clues that could pose a threat to our reform agenda.”
Qi Tongwei took the document. He knew that this was a test from Zhang Feihu and also a sign of trust in him.
He nodded solemnly: "I will, Mr. Zhang."
As Qi Tongwei left, Zhang Feihu looked out the window again.
He knew that the road to reform was full of difficulties and challenges.
But he also believes that as long as we can unite people and gather strength, nothing is impossible.
Qi Tongwei was walking on the streets of Handong with turbulent waves in his heart.
He knew that he was standing at a crossroads in his life, and every choice he made could change his destiny.
But he also knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead was.
He must move forward bravely, for his beliefs and for the future of Handong.
Qi Tongwei is from Yantai, Handong City.
Therefore, he also plans to make some powerful contributions to his hometown.
But at present, it is impossible for him to do so according to his level.
As night falls, the lights in Handong City gradually light up, but Qi Tongwei's office is still brightly lit.
His eyes scanned every word and every data on the document, not missing any details.
After hours of analysis, he discovered some unusual financial flows and personnel changes.
All of these may be related to Zhao Lichun.
Qi Tongwei knew very well that these clues needed further investigation and confirmation.
He decided to secretly contact some reliable colleagues and old subordinates, whose knowledge of the Yantai area would be of great help to the investigation.
At the same time, he also realized that he had to act cautiously.
Zhao Lichun must not be allowed to detect any disturbance.
In the next few days, Qi Tongwei handled official business as usual, but was actively collecting information in secret.
He used his connections to quietly conduct an in-depth investigation into Zhao Lichun's actions.
Gradually, a complex network involving power, money and betrayal begins to surface.
At the same time, Zhang Feihu was also closely following Qi Tongwei's progress.
He knew that Qi Tongwei was born in Yantai and had deep feelings for the place.
So he believed that Qi Tongwei would do his best to protect the interests of his hometown.
Zhang Feihu is also using his own resources to provide Qi Tongwei with necessary support.
Finally, Qi Tongwei collected enough evidence. He walked into Zhang Feihu's office again and reported the investigation results to Zhang Feihu.
After hearing this, a hint of admiration flashed in Zhang Feihu's eyes. He knew that Qi Tongwei did not disappoint him.
"Tongwei, you did a great job."
Zhang Feihu said, "These evidences are very important to us. Now,
We need to formulate a detailed action plan to break Zhao Lichun’s conspiracy in one fell swoop.”
Qi Tongwei nodded.
He knew that he had won Zhang Feihu's trust and also won an opportunity for reform for his hometown.
He became involved in developing the action plan, and his suggestions and knowledge of the Rock Table area were fully considered.
