Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 715: Request from the Railway Bureau

Chapter 715: Railway Bureau's Request

Qi Tongwei is now a big shot in Jiangzhou City. Many cadres want to get close to him, but they can't find the right way. Qi Tongwei is unmoved and gifts can't even get him in. The message Qi Tongwei spread himself is very clear: to get his favor, one has to make achievements at work. Those cadres who are not on his work line basically have no chance.

Look, Deputy Secretary Zhang is a thoughtful person. He specifically studied Qi Tongwei's work experience in Dong'ou and was able to draw on the advanced experience there. With preparation for work, he naturally got a higher score.

"Secretary, I'll go to work first."

Seeing that the work report had been completed, Deputy Secretary Zhang saw that Qi Tongwei had lost his patience and knew that it was time for him to leave.

Qi Tongwei nodded without even looking up. He didn't come to work yesterday because he was very busy with a lot of trivial things.

While I was still looking at the new conscription plan for Pujiang New District and writing instructions in a flamboyant manner, my secretary Lu Qiang came in.

"Secretary, the Railway Bureau is here. They have a last-minute appointment with the deputy mayor in charge of transportation and the officials from the Transportation Bureau. They want to discuss the East Station."

Qi Tongwei was a little confused. He had just signed the conscription plan and stuffed the document into the pile that had already been processed. Later, cadres from the secretariat would come in to classify and distribute the processed documents, or forward them to the departments below. Some of them needed signatures from other leaders. This pile of documents had a complete set of processing procedures.

"Hasn't the East Station been confirmed for several years? Why is it changing again?"

Lu Qiang was very sensible. He was just a secretary, and these things were not his to discuss. He just smiled and looked at Qi Tongwei. Qi Tongwei was too lazy to think about these things. He had a lot of things to do, and these people's positions were not as high as his. There must be nothing important, at least nothing important to him.

"Okay, let someone in."

Qi Tongwei knew very well that the construction of the East Station had started before the Free Trade Zone plan. They had been anxious during this period and were eager to build the railway to Zhuhai Island and Luzhou City, Handong Province.

As long as it is done, it will be a great achievement for Jiangzhou Railway Bureau. It can also save some approval procedures and be directly packaged into the big projects in the Free Trade Zone, which will make it much easier to approve and pay.

These goals are all inseparable from Qi Tongwei. Dongzhan is on his territory and he is the director of the Management Committee of the Free Trade Zone. Even when he was the deputy director, the dominant power of the Free Trade Zone was in Qi Tongwei's hands.

Their predecessor Sun Qi did not give them a clear answer at all. Now that Qi Tongwei has officially taken office, they are rushing over here and have even specially asked the deputy mayor in charge of transportation to come and support them.

These few people are not really important figures to Qi Tongwei. This railway project is not particularly important to the current free trade zone plan, because the railway lines in Jiangzhou City are very dense, and laying railways will at most reduce the distance by a dozen kilometers.

Several people first came to Qi Tongwei's 42-square-meter district party secretary's office, which meant that the matter was in the stage of soliciting Qi Tongwei's opinion, that is, they were asking Qi Tongwei for help, rather than discussing it. At that stage, Qi Tongwei would take them to the meeting room.

Secretary Lu Qiang and two subordinates made seven or eight cups of tea together. Of course, the tea they used was the tea grown by Qi Tongwei himself. Now this has become his image of integrity.

Qi Tongwei first shook hands with Deputy Mayor Zhu Shan, and then shook hands with the guest. Although the other party had some opinions, his rank was only that of a senior official. Qi Tongwei greeted the higher-ups first and no one could say anything.

"Director Luo, you are a rare guest. The last time we met was during a conference."

What I mean is that we two are not friends, so don't bring these things up. Director Luo is the director of the Jiangzhou Railway Bureau and does not belong to the local system. Even if Qi Tongwei is a vice-ministerial level member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, he cannot control him.

"Look at what you said, Secretary Qi. Since you took office, I have been applying to the District Party Committee Office to report to you, but you are too busy with work."

Qi Tongwei laughed and gestured for everyone to sit down. Deputy Mayor Zhu and Director Luo brought two entourages with them, but he did not introduce them because their ranks were too low and they did not dare to speak in front of Qi Tongwei. They were just bag carriers.

"Everyone, please sit down. Lu Qiang, pour me some cups of tea."

Lu Qiang had already prepared the tea and placed it on the tray. When he heard Qi Tongwei's call, he immediately opened the door and came in with two subordinates to put the tea away.

Deputy Mayor Zhu looked at the tea in the cup and decided to start the conversation from here.

"Secretary Qi, your tea looks very good. Is it a famous tea from somewhere?"

Qi Tongwei also took a sip from the thermos cup, looking down on it in his heart. This tea variety was transplanted from the ordinary tea variety in Jiangbei New District of Dongou City. It cost only a few dozen yuan per kilogram, and most of it was labor costs.

In other words, this is the most common tea on the street, and it may not even taste as good as the ordinary staple tea from large plantations.

The other party praised the tea, and several people looked at the teacup and nodded slightly. The flattery could not be more obvious.

"This is what my dad grows. It's just regular green tea."

Director Luo and others were old hands in the officialdom, so they naturally understood what this meant. However, they did not care and instead took advantage of the situation to climb up the ladder.

"Secretary Qi's family also grows tea. The taste is really good. I really want to buy some back."

Qi Tongwei would not bother with these people, but he was very busy and did not want to get involved here.

"That's not important. I only have a few tea plants at home. I don't sell them to other people. Every year, my family only drinks them. I think you have something to ask for your visit today."

As he spoke, Qi Tongwei turned over his left hand and took a look at his Jiangzhou brand watch.

Deputy Mayor Zhu winked at Director Luo, signaling him to speak first.

I won't go into details about the specifics, but as Qi Tongwei guessed, they hope to report the construction of the East Station, several planned railway lines along the route, and the construction of the Free Trade Zone together.

After they left, Qi Tongwei called the district chief Su Lin over, but he did not promise anything in person.

"Lao Su, a group of people from the Railway Bureau just came over, and Deputy Mayor Zhu came with them."

Qi Tongwei personally handed the teacup to his deputy, and Su Lin took it and thanked him.

"Thank you, Secretary."

Then he put the teacup on the table next to him, touched his glasses with his hand, and then spoke.

“According to the temperament of the people in the Railway Bureau, they are too lazy to bother with our local officials if there is no benefit.

Their independence is obvious, and they never care about us. I dealt with them a few years ago, and the experience was not very pleasant. "
