Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 310 Gao Yuliang's Beating

Qi Tongwei glanced in the direction Chen Chao left, hesitated for a moment, and decided not to follow him. Instead, he turned and left.

"Let's go, this is his own mistake, he has to solve it himself.

If these petitioners still hide in the dangerous buildings and refuse to come out this year, then his position as deputy district chief will be in jeopardy. It depends on him.”

On the other side, at Gao Yuliang's side, as soon as Jin Xinkai left, Chen Chao came in again with his head lowered.

"Secretary Gao, I made a mistake and I want to apologize to you."

Gao Yuliang was a teacher by profession. When he saw such a proactive cadre, he naturally felt sympathy for him, as if he was reminded of those students who made mistakes and came to admit their mistakes when he was teaching in school.

Furthermore, in all these years in politics, he has hardly ever seen any cadre who would voluntarily admit their mistakes. They would only shed a few crocodile tears hypocritically after being caught by the Discipline Inspection Commission. Even if there is solid evidence in front of them, most of them would frantically shirk responsibility and pass the buck, saying, "Who put so much money in my refrigerator? This is normal."

To be honest, this is the first time Gao Yuliang has seen a situation like Chen Chao. However, judging from his age, he is older than Gao Yuliang and has just been promoted to deputy director level. The document was signed by Gao Yuliang, who has read his file.

This may have something to do with his character of being willing to admit his mistakes. Other leaders will not let go of a fool who is willing to take the blame.

"Tell me, you came here like this, and I don't know anything yet."

Then, Chen Chao elaborated in detail on the background of the petitioners regarding the dilapidated wooden houses in Xiaqiao Street, and also told what Qi Tongwei had just accused him of.

"Manager Qi is right. The reason why I didn't take the initiative to report this situation just now is that I was hoping for the best.

A few months ago, Executive Director Qi asked the city for a policy on the relocation and resettlement of houses in geological disaster sites. In fact, all I had to do was be more decisive.

We can discuss the countermeasures for these households with the district party committee and government and include them in the resettlement policy. I believe the two leaders will approve it.

But at that time, I was doing things in a muddle-headed way. I felt that I had no hope of promotion and nothing mattered to me. I lost my subjective initiative at work and just lived one day at a time.

Until the policy window ended, I did not raise this matter. Instead, I buried my head in the sand, acted like an ostrich, and pretended that the matter did not exist.

It was not until I talked about this situation just now that I realized that the existence of these petitioning households was a negligence in my work.

Secretary Gao, you can punish me in any way you want. I beg you to let me make amends and give me another chance so that these households living in dangerous houses can be resettled according to the policy.”

Gao Yuliang looked at the cadre in front of him and nodded in his heart. He seldom saw such cadres. The policy just mentioned was just a matter of words for people at his level. It seemed that Qi Tongwei asked this cadre to come to him on his own initiative, which was also for the purpose of recommending an outstanding cadre.

"District Chief Chen, do you know that when it comes to matters involving the masses, there is no such thing as a small matter? You were one of the witnesses of this incident.

Things have been delayed for so many years, I won’t mention the past, now you should seize the opportunity to make amends.

I agree to this matter. You should include those households in the new resettlement policy.

Go and explain the policy immediately and ask them to move out immediately. Don't delay any longer. If a typhoon comes, what will the consequences be?

Not to mention the organizational punishment, you will never be able to get over the hurdle in your heart. You are a responsible cadre.

Go ahead, it's not too late to mend the situation. Once you've done your job, report to General Manager Qi and have him supervise it personally."

The last sentence was said with a bit of anger. When did Qi Tongwei become such an irresponsible cadre? Has he also learned to stay out of things?

Chen Chao trotted back. Gao Yuliang agreed. He could then take the relocation and resettlement documents from the last geological disaster site to talk to the residents of these dangerous houses. He could first rent a house for them to move out, and then discuss the details after the typhoon.

All policies do not mean that things will be accomplished smoothly once the document is issued. It is not like that. Implementation is always the most difficult part.

In this matter, the most difficult thing is actually the lack of subjective initiative of the cadres. For example, in the past, even if Chen Chao had a good opportunity in front of him, he thought it was troublesome, tiring, and there were obstacles in communicating with the leaders, so he was too lazy to do it.

The essence of this is lazy and inefficient governance, which is an almost unsolvable problem at the grassroots level. Even if there are passionate young people, after wasting a few years in the valleys facing the mountains, their passion will cool down.

You can stand on the dry shore and accuse them of not serving the people wholeheartedly, but if you were in their situation, you would probably make the same choice. The root cause lies in the lag and low mobility of organizational work, coupled with the fact that many leading cadres treat organizational work as their own chores and only promote people they trust, instead of promoting those who should be promoted.

If Chen Chao had not been promoted this time, I am afraid he would have been one of those people who were lazy and negligent in their work. His choice revealed the answer.

Now he has to first organize the cadres of Xiaqiao Street to explain the resettlement policy to the masses, and then embezzle part of the street office's money to carry out the initial resettlement, because the district's money must go through procedures. Although the street office's money should also go through procedures, he is the former secretary of the Party Working Committee of the Street Office and the current deputy district mayor. He has the personal prestige to embezzle part of the money.

After the typhoon passed, they still had to discuss the details of resettlement with the masses, whether to find a piece of land in their own street for resettlement, or simply use the resettlement area in Jiangbei Street and distribute the extra money to them. These issues involving interests are often the ones that cause the longest wrangling.

Of course, Qi Tongwei was too lazy to care. He already had enough things to do. The purpose of promoting so many deputies was to share his worries. If they couldn't do the job, they would just get out as soon as possible.

So, when the instructions forwarded by Gao Yuliang arrived at Qi Tongwei's office, he was a little confused.

"What is this? What does it have to do with me? Do you want me to supervise it?"

That being said, it is clearly written in the instruction that Executive Deputy District Mayor Qi Tongwei will supervise and guide the completion of this work throughout the process.

This was a direct order and there was no room for resistance, so Qi Tongwei could only push aside the morning guests and run directly to the suburbs of Xiaqiao Street with his entourage.

On the way, the office staff kept making phone calls to communicate the situation, obtain intelligence, and asked relevant people from the street office to wait at the scene.

"Okay, no need to call them, let's go directly to the scene and see who is holding this thing back. Whoever is holding back will be punished!"

Qi Tongwei was a little unhappy as he was forced to do the job, but the person who assigned him the job was Gao Yuliang and he had no way to resist. He could only put on a stern face in front of his subordinates.
