Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 999 Return to Hometown

Qi Tongwei was working in the highest-standard reception hotel in Jiangzhou City, and was actually just making a phone call.

"Leader, Jiangzhou Zhongfu has been thoroughly reviewed by the inspection team, and some funding loopholes have been plugged.

Boss Li was completely kicked out of the cooperation chain of Zhongfu Group from now on.

Of course, they can still cooperate in normal business.”

"He had someone tell me a while ago that he would completely transform his business and would no longer use privileges to do business and would strictly abide by laws and regulations.

He has personally reported more than a dozen illegal subsidiaries to the regulatory authorities.

It seems like he's sincere."

Qi Tongwei was quite satisfied with being able to achieve this step. If he continued to do business normally, his superiors would certainly welcome him. Moreover, LI was very famous in the economic circle and had the largest scale.

If we touch him casually, it will probably cause considerable turmoil.

In other words, this person is at the level of a decision-maker and has sufficient value for united front work. As long as you say you are patriotic, you can talk to him.

However, some people have no value in united front work because they are not the ones in charge and can be manipulated at will.

"So can I go to Han River Province now?"

Yes, the main target of this trip was still Han River Province, and Jin Xinkai and Tian Guofu's actions encountered considerable resistance.

This is not surprising, because they are a minority in Han River Province, and the issue involves interest groups, but they cannot cause huge social unrest.

A sigh came from the other end of the line.

“The matter is a bit controversial, but I agree with your action.

Go ahead, there is no creation without destruction."

"Okay, leader, I won't let you down."

Although the matter was approved, Qi Tongwei did not rush to Hanjiang, but first rushed to Jiangdong Province, where he started his career.

Lin'an, the capital of Jiangdong Province.

Qi Tongwei shook hands with the two current leaders of Jiangdong Province one by one.

"Thank you, Secretary Qi, for coming to guide the work in Jiangdong Province. This is where you once worked."

The current top leader of Jiangdong Province is an old comrade who is quite old and relatively steady in his work, which is also in line with the re-positioning of Jiangdong Province in this era.

After being at the forefront of reform and opening up in the 1980s and 1990s, Jiangdong Province's private economy has entered a period of transformation. The low-end manufacturing industry represented by Dongou City has laid a solid foundation since the 1990s.

Jiangbei New Area has been revitalized with innovative vitality and rapidly transformed into a high-tech, high-net-worth industrial structure. It has now taken a place among the national innovation cities.

However, the city is not big enough, far less than an international city like Jiangzhou City. In addition, the leaders of several governments have changed too quickly, and policies have changed every day.

It is now in a period of relatively slow development, and the other two iron triangles in Jiangdong Province are in a similar situation.

"The higher authorities attach great importance to the development of Jiangdong Province. As the birthplace of the private economy, we should set an example in exploring new development models."

All members of the Jiangdong Provincial team lowered their heads to record Qi Tongwei's speech. Qi Tongwei came here to represent the higher-ups and to convey their policy support for Jiangdong Province's new development model.

The meeting lasted for more than an hour before it ended. Qi Tongwei’s first stop was Dongou City, where he started his business.

"The main leaders don't need to follow me, just let the person in charge of Dongou City take me there.

The inspection team left two subgroups behind to conduct an upgraded inspection in Lin'an City."

Although Qi Tongwei is the nominal leader of the inspection team, his purpose in visiting various provinces has never been to find fault, but to listen to the development problems and needs of the provinces and convey them to the committee.

The newly built high-speed rail train has been completed around Jiangdong Province. Qi Tongwei sat on the train, watching the mountains and hills rapidly receding, and for a moment he was lost in memories.

"Xiao Mang, more than 20 years ago when I came to Dongou City to work.

From the provincial capital to Dongou City in the south, one has to pass through so many mountainous areas, and there were no expressways at that time.

Driving that Santana, it took twelve or thirteen hours on the bumpy national highway to reach Dongou City.

The straight-line distance on the map is only four or five hundred kilometers.

Look at the high-speed rail now.”

As he spoke, Qi Tongwei pointed to the speed display screen on the high-speed rail, which showed a speed of 200 kilometers per hour.

"Now it only takes more than two hours to reach Dong'ou City.

Turning a natural barrier into a thoroughfare is what we, as officials, should accomplish for the people of this place."

Since leaving office in 1998, Qi Tongwei has rarely returned to Jiangdong Province to avoid suspicion. However, his son and daughter-in-law come back every year to visit old friends here.

Since his son Huazai was born in Dong'ou, he can even speak the local dialect fluently. Of course, this was also taught by Qi Tongwei, but he taught him too early and it became his mother tongue.

Lin Cheng's dialect was halting and I could only understand the general idea.

Looking at this familiar scene, I felt like I had just been reborn more than 20 years ago and returned to this world with confusion. I subconsciously wanted to escape from Handong, this sad place.

At this time, Qi Tongwei was in the mood for sex.

"Xiao Mang, look at that highway, it has four lanes in both directions. It's a highway that goes through the mountains.

In the 1990s, the average construction cost was twice that of plain provinces such as Handong.

But our group of cadres still worked hard to get things done.

I still remember that when the construction team passed through the mountainous area of our Jiangbei New District, the earthquake damaged many villagers' houses.

Our local government must of course protect the local villagers. Fortunately, I instructed the cadres below early on to take photos of the villagers' houses for archiving before the construction to confirm that the cracks were caused by high-speed construction.

Only then did we get some money from the highway command center to help the villagers resettle."

When talking about this, Qi Tongwei showed a long-lost smile on his face, no longer the fake smile that had been embedded in his face like a mask for so many years.

The train slowly stopped at Dongou North Station, a newly built station located in the northernmost part of Jiangbei New District, which has also given birth to a new town.

At this time, the platform was already densely packed with local cadres.

"Secretary Qi, welcome home."

When Qi Tongwei got off the bus and saw the welcome banner, he couldn't help but burst into tears. This is his second hometown where he had worked hard, and it is also his hometown where he was reborn.

"Hello, comrades!"

Qi Tongwei shouted loudly, and the dozens of people present responded even louder.

"Hello, Secretary Qi!"

The first ones to take the lead were the current top two leaders of Dongou City. Qi Tongwei didn't even know them and had no idea where they were transferred from.

The deputy position is an old acquaintance. Yang Zhengwei, the deputy secretary and secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, was the political commissar when Qi Tongwei was the director of the Jiangbei Branch.

"Old Yang, long time no see. You look a little older."
