Official excuse: I've put you on patrol in Handong, and the whole province is in a panic.

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei thought for a moment and looked at Gao Yuliang.

"Secretary Yuliang, I really don't understand where I went wrong! This security work was indeed the responsibility of the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau. Although our provincial department provided guidance, I shouldn't be held responsible for any problems that occurred! Secretary Sha immediately tried to shift the blame onto me, which is inappropriate!"

Gao Yuliang frowned as he looked at Qi Tongwei.

"Tongwei, you said the security arrangements went beyond the standard and disturbed the residents. Is that a big deal to Secretary Sha? Even if the central inspection team had raised these issues at the time, would Secretary Sha have really taken them to heart?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei shook his head.

"I don't think it's that bad..."

Gao Yuliang snorted.

"Since you knew it wasn't that serious, why did you try to shirk responsibility in front of Secretary Sha? That's the biggest mistake you made today!"

Gao Yuliang sighed when he saw Qi Tongwei looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"After Su Zhe from the central inspection team raised the question, who was the most embarrassed? Of course, it was Secretary Sha! When he called you over, he just wanted to get rid of his responsibility as soon as possible and not make himself look too bad in front of the inspection team!"

What you should have done at the time was to take full responsibility for the problems and immediately implement rectification! As the head of the Public Security Bureau, couldn't you have given orders to the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau back then? Even if they didn't listen to you, if you had used the banner of the Provincial Party Committee to demand rectification, would they have dared to disobey?

"What truly matters is helping your leader solve problems at crucial moments. Why are you shirking your responsibilities at a time like this?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei suddenly realized what was going on.

This reminded him of a joke.

If you are in a meeting with your boss and he suddenly farts, the correct thing to do is not to defend your boss, nor to say that it was not you who farted. Instead, you should tell everyone that you were the one who farted!

Qi Tongwei sighed helplessly.

"Secretary Yuliang..."

Gao Yuliang frowned.

"You can call me teacher now! I'm not saying this to you as your superior!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei immediately changed his tune.

"Teacher... since you've criticized me like this, I'll tell you the truth! I really want to improve!"

Currently, public security organs across the country are being upgraded, and in many places, the heads of public security departments have been promoted to deputy government positions! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me! As you know, only deputy provincial-level officials are considered senior leaders!

I'm terrified of leaving a bad impression on my superiors, especially on Secretary Sha!

There are only so many opportunities for promotion. To reach the level of vying for vice-provincial level, in terms of background and seniority, who is inferior to whom? In the end, isn't it all about who has the fewest flaws?

Gao Yuliang smiled and looked at Qi Tongwei.

"You... the more you want something, the less likely you are to get it! Do you think this little thing can leave a bad impression on Secretary Sha? First of all, you should think clearly. Secretary Sha has already seen and signed the entire plan for welcoming and securing the central working group. How could he not know about it? If there is anyone responsible, he will also be implicated!"

In this situation, does he need a flawless subordinate or a subordinate who will take the blame for him?

You're a leader, don't you even understand the most basic principles?

The leader issues the orders, but in the end, only the credit can go to the leader, while all the responsibility must fall on the subordinates!

Secretary Sha only needs one subordinate to take the blame for him. Does it matter who takes the blame?

In other words, rumors are circulating in the province that Sha and Li are being paired up, and Governor Liu will retire in three or four months! At that time, Li Dakang will be promoted to governor!

Why isn't he afraid to take responsibility and make mistakes?

You might not want this perfect opportunity to take the blame for your boss, but he does! What you're trying to get rid of is exactly what he's fighting for!

Understand?

Tongwei... the leadership has changed, so you need to adapt your thinking!

The current Secretary Sha is not someone you can win over by investing, scheming, or currying favor with!

To be a good subordinate to him, first and foremost, you have to be useful to him!

Hearing Gao Yuliang's words.

Qi Tongwei couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Teacher...you're right! This time, it was my mistake..."

Gao Yuliang said calmly, "The way of being an official is something I've explored my whole life, and this is all I've achieved so far! As for you..."

He shook his head.

"Tongwei, your teacher wants you to do well too! The more this is the case, the more you need to learn!"

Qi Tongwei nodded deeply.

"Yes, teacher, you're right!"

Gao Yuliang continued, "This time, the central inspection team is exerting tremendous force, especially with the so-called joint inspection and disciplinary action! The higher-ups don't want to wait a minute longer and are dealing with the situation in Handong with overwhelming force! Tongwei, I don't care how many problems you left behind! This time, you must be extremely careful and restrained! Don't let anything go wrong at this critical juncture!"

Qi Tongwei nodded solemnly and said, "Teacher, don't worry, I will still abide by the most basic principles and bottom lines!"

Gao Yuliang glanced at Qi Tongwei.

"Comply? What's going on between you and Zhao Ruilong? Over the years, the two of you have been inseparable. Don't even mention me, who in the officialdom of Handong doesn't know? It's been all over the place for a long time! Half of your position as Director of the Public Security Bureau, Qi Tongwei, is thanks to Zhao Ruilong!"

Tell me, do you also own shares in that mountain and water manor?

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei couldn't help but look at Gao Yuliang.

at this time.

Gao Yuliang also looked at Qi Tongwei with a cold expression, as if he could see right through him.

at last.

Qi Tongwei lowered his head.

"yes..."

Gao Yuliang gritted his teeth and said, "Are you courting death? What kind of situation is this? The central government has repeatedly issued orders prohibiting leaders, their families, and children from engaging in business or running enterprises! How dare you?"

Qi Tongwei looked at Gao Yuliang and couldn't help but retort, "Teacher! What era are we living in? The spirit of the central government is one thing, but what about its actual implementation?"

Li Dakang's wife, Ouyang Jing, is the vice president of Jingzhou City Commercial Bank in charge of mortgage loans. She makes an unknown amount of money throughout the year by virtue of her position!

Needless to say, Secretary Zhao is a big shot, isn't he? Ruilong and his sister's Huilong Group has assets of over 300 billion yuan!

"If they can do it, why can't I? I need the money more than they do! I want to improve my life too! I've worked so hard for so many years, I can't still be that poor kid I used to be, can I?"

Gao Yuliang retorted angrily, "Nonsense! You're talking nonsense! How can an official be thinking about getting rich? I don't care about the old Party Secretary or Li Dakang, they have their own ways of handling things! At least they didn't personally get involved!"

Where are you, Qi Tongwei? You've actually gone off to do business yourself, repeatedly visiting the Shanshui Manor to endorse a businessman! How can the central inspection team not be watching you now?
