Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 210 Deception

The four people had no troubles. They first flew to Beijing for a transfer and without stopping, went directly to their destination city, Jinyang City, the eldest district of the Republic.

Dong'ou City has been at the forefront of reform since the 1980s, and has also driven the development of fashion. On the streets there, only people over 50 years old still wear old-style Zhongshan suits. Young men and women or other avant-garde people have already put on various Hong Kong and Taiwan-style clothing, and fluffy big wavy hair is popular.

This is especially true in Jiangbei New District, where the attire in the district government is mostly avant-garde. Overseas returnees like Ye Biao dress like European and American elites. The same is true for Qi Tongwei, who wears well-cut and expensive suits, unlike this era when everyone still wears loose ready-made suits.

But after landing in Jinyang, a sub-provincial city, the air seemed to be tinged with gray. The buildings were generally dark in color, most of which were built in the 1940s and 1950s, and the pedestrians on the street were all wearing Zhongshan suits.

"District Chief, it seems like it's still the 1970s here."

Qi Tongwei blocked Ye Biao with his hand, signaling him not to comment on these things.

"Less talk, more attention to our business.

Our place has only been developing rapidly in recent years, but our industrial foundation cannot be compared with that of this city. A company called Pengpai Equipment just moved here and it has now become a star enterprise in our high-tech zone.

The workers here are all worthy of respect. They created the country's industry. It's just that the bureaucrats here are not good enough and are dragging down the workers here in vain."

Without saying anything more, they hailed a taxi and headed to Jinyang Hotel.

"Have the bosses come from Guangdong? What are you doing in Jinyang?"

Qi Tongwei felt that there was something wrong with the taxi driver. He inadvertently revealed his police ID with the national emblem on his waist. It was his own and had not been taken away yet.

"Master, we are the police, and we are here to hunt down a group of vicious fugitives. Here is a hundred dollars. If you hurry to the Jinyang Hotel now, it will be yours.

These clothes are just our disguises, otherwise they will scare away the fugitives."

When the taxi driver heard this, he immediately became excited.

"Okay, officer, I'll make sure you get to the hotel in five minutes. I'm a well-known taxi driver on Jinyang Street. Everyone calls me General Yu.

If there is anything you need me to cooperate with the police, just tell me, sit tight, everyone."

The taxi began to accelerate and ran through two red lights in a row. Qi Tongwei saw a policeman on a motorcycle approaching in the rearview mirror from the passenger seat, but General Yu was not at all panicked and got rid of the policeman after two turns.

Then the car stopped steadily at Jinyang Hotel. Qi Tongwei threw the gray hundred-dollar bill to the driver, got out of the car hurriedly, picked up his luggage, and felt a little nauseous.

But by the time the few people arrived at the hotel, the motorcycle police who had been left behind by the taxi had caught up and blocked the taxi. They saw the driver arguing from afar.

"It was your criminal police who requisitioned my car and made me run a red light. You can't arrest me. I have made contributions to the police. I want to see your leader."

Of course Qi Tongwei and his companions hurried into the hotel and checked in, ignoring the farce behind them.

"District Chief, is the driver okay?"

"What's the big deal? He just ran two red lights and lost six points. He can still keep his driver's license.

Do you know why I made up such nonsense? "

Ye Biao shook his head.

“Because there was a steel pipe under the passenger seat of this kid, and the way he looked at us was not right, as if he was looking at a fat sheep.

If I'm not mistaken, he definitely wanted to talk to us after we got in the car and help us find a place to have fun.

If we couldn’t resist the temptation and chose the fun he introduced, a dozen big men with steel pipes and machetes would find us in a few minutes and force us to hand over all the money.”

Ye Biao was stunned by Qi Tongwei's analysis at this moment.

"So, you made up a lie to make him think we were police officers investigating a case. All these costumes were just disguises."

“Yeah, this guy doesn’t look smart, and he might just be an errand boy in these gangs.

He is actually just a child. When it comes to helping the police, he always shows a simple sense of justice.

Besides, I gave him money. The taxi fare only cost five or six yuan, and I gave him a hundred yuan, so I didn't treat him unfairly, did I?

Okay, we've arrived. Let's take a rest first and contact someone tomorrow morning."

Silent all night.

....................

Early in the morning, Qi Tongwei contacted the employee representative and invited him to meet at Jinyang Hotel.

To show his sincerity, Qi Tongwei waited at the door early, wearing a handsome suit and with his hair neatly combed. The hotel staff thought he was either rich or noble.

After a while, someone came. He was tall, but his work clothes were a bit dirty. There was a smell of a workshop, and his behavior was a little timid, perhaps because he felt that he was a bit out of place in the most luxurious hotel in the area.

But Qi Tongwei didn't care about all that. The fact that he reeked of engine oil showed that this worker had good skills and a kind appearance. He must be the representative and leader of the workers. They had to work harder to trick him into coming to Dong'ou to contribute to reform and opening up.

"Director Huang, we finally meet. My name is Qi Tongwei, and I'm District Chief Jin's good brother. He sent me here with full authority.

Come on, let’s go in and talk.”

Director Huang was still a little hesitant.

"Brother Qi, why don't we find a smaller place? The consumption here is too high."

"Oh, it's okay, we'll reimburse you for the entire trip.

Business card, with very low discount.

Besides, going to those small places would seem disrespectful to you.

coming. "

The hotel waiters all felt that the two men had very different temperaments. Normally, if someone dressed like Director Huang, they would step forward to drive him away. However, with Qi Tongwei next to them and his temperament and conversation, they did not dare to step forward.

The two got on the elevator and went straight to the hotel's conference room.

Lu Qiang and his team had already arranged for the hotel to provide lunch and then came over with the documents.

“Director Huang, let’s not waste your time and look at the conditions.

Besides, General Peng is now leading dozens of brothers to start a business in our district, and they have received many orders from abroad this year.

Our local orders are also unstoppable. This month, their output value has reached its peak and they can’t produce any more. They are very anxious.

He also asked me to talk to you and ask you to bring some workers over to help him. The treatment is easy to negotiate, it will be twice your original salary.

Their factory is owned by a shareholders' meeting of workers, and every year a large amount of funds is allocated as bonuses to front-line employees.

I am not making this up. You have known General Peng for a longer time, so you should know the details better."
