Names: Uncle Zhao Mengsheng, Father-in-law Pei Yihong

Dong Jianming quickly agreed: "Please rest assured, Secretary Sha, I will do my best!"

"But Secretary Sha, there are still many comrades waiting outside to report on their work, you see..."

Sha Ruijin waved his hand, "I don't have time to listen to their report today. The research is more important than anything else. I'll go out and say a few words, and then we'll set off once we're ready."

Sha Ruijin walked to the door, clapped his hands, and gave a few simple instructions to the people in line, which were nothing more than "the report will be postponed during the research period, and further arrangements will be made later."

The waiting crowd was somewhat disappointed, but dared not say anything, and could only leave one after another with sighs.

Accompanied by Tian Guofu, Dong Jianming, and Secretary Bai, Sha Ruijin went to the provincial party committee's residential area.

Upon entering the No. 1 compound of the Provincial Party Committee, Dong Jianming enthusiastically introduced the furniture, saying, "Secretary Sha, as you can see, all the furniture is brand new, made of zero-formaldehyde environmentally friendly materials, and will absolutely not affect your health."

Sha Ruijin's gaze swept across the courtyard, landing on the artificial hill. He nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it's quite good. This artificial hill is well-arranged; you've put thought into it."

Sha Ruijin liked it very much.

The Hantong Provincial Party Committee compound is right next to the Hantong Provincial Government, separated only by a wall with a small door in between.

In the past, after meetings, Gao Yuliang would go directly back to his office in the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.

But today, he made a special exception and followed Governor Liu, Qi Tongwei, and Standing Committee Vice Governor Feng Liqun out of the provincial party committee compound, instead of using the small gate.

Instead, they entered through the provincial government gate.

He was openly supporting Qi Tongwei.

In front of the provincial government building, Zhou Jianbin, Secretary-General of the Provincial Government, and Vice Governors Zhang Jingshan, Chen Jingfeng, Zhao Yumei, Li Zhaoming, Han Mingyuan, and others were already waiting there.

clap clap clap!

Applause erupted!

"Welcome, welcome!"

"A warm welcome!"

Liu Changsheng pushed Qi Tongwei forward, "Comrades, let me introduce you. This is Comrade Qi Tongwei, the newly appointed member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Deputy Secretary of Group D of the Provincial Government, and Executive Vice Governor. He will assist me in presiding over the daily work of the Provincial Government. Please cooperate with Governor Qi in the future!"

Qi Tongwei said in a serious tone: "Comrades, hello everyone!"

I'm new here and there's still a lot I need to learn from everyone.

But please rest assured, I will do my utmost in the future. I hope we can work together, under Governor Liu's guidance, to do a good job in all aspects of the provincial government's work.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Yuliang announced the relationship between the two: "Comrades, Qi Tongwei was an undergraduate and graduate student I taught at Handong University. He was also the most outstanding of all my students, with outstanding abilities, a solid work style, and a willingness to take risks and get things done."

Gao Yuliang's words undoubtedly gave Qi Tongwei a lot of support.

The provincial government leaders present all knew the truth and smiled in agreement.

Before long, the news that "Qi Tongwei is Gao Yuliang's favorite student" spread like wildfire throughout the Hantong Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government compound.

Even if Gao Yuliang hadn't said it, sooner or later everyone would have found out.

Without him.

Qi Tongwei is currently in a high position of power. Although he did not make it into the group of five, in terms of actual power, he is no less powerful than Tian Guofu. It is normal for him to be ranked fourth in the province.

Soon someone will probably investigate where Qi Tongwei went to university, high school, and even junior high and primary school.

Since Gao Yuliang rarely visits the provincial government, Liu Changsheng naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity for in-depth exchanges.

He immediately called him into his office, closed the door, and the two sat down for a long talk, discussing the situation in Handong and their future cooperation.

Governor Liu doesn't want to retire and just sit back and do his job. He wants to stand firm until the very end, and even continue to shine like Zhao Lichun.

Because the provincial first-ranked official who has just arrived is Sha Ruijin, and from an open perspective, Sha Ruijin's arrival has directly ruined Gao Yuliang's chance to be promoted to the provincial first-ranked official.

From this perspective, Sha Ruijin and Gao Yuliang could not possibly be on the same path.

In addition, there's the added factor of the relationship between the newly appointed Executive Vice Governor Qi Tongwei and Gao Yuliang.

The cooperation between the two and three provinces was officially established at this moment.

The two shook hands for more than a minute.

Although the two had met frequently before, they suddenly felt as if they had known each other for a long time.

the other side.

Accompanied by Zhou Jianbin, Secretary-General of the Provincial Government, and Feng Liqun, Standing Committee Member and Vice Governor, Qi Tongwei entered the office of the Executive Vice Governor.

The office layout is simple and elegant, with desks, chairs, and filing cabinets all provided, and it is kept very clean.

Qi Tongwei glanced around and nodded repeatedly. "Secretary-General Zhou, overall it's good, basically to my liking. I'll arrange and improve the details myself later."

The three sat down, brewed some tea, and chatted casually about the daily work of the provincial government. The atmosphere was fairly harmonious.

Not long after, Feng Liqun received an urgent call: "Governor Qi, Secretary-General Zhou, I'm so sorry, I have an urgent matter to attend to and I have to go there first."

Qi Tongwei nodded: "Okay, Governor Feng, you go ahead and get busy. We'll have plenty of time to talk later."

Feng Liqun left in a hurry, thinking to himself that although Qi Tongwei was young and assertive, he was also reasonable.

Only Qi Tongwei and Zhou Jianbin remained in the office.

Zhou Jianbin handed over the list with both hands. "Governor Qi, this is a list of secretaries and drivers that I prepared in advance. Please take a look and see if there are any that suit your taste. If not, I will arrange something else for you."

Qi Tongwei took the list, glanced at it, and smiled faintly, "Secretary-General Zhou, thank you for your thoughtfulness."

I brought my own secretary; there's no need to make any special arrangements.

I'll take a look at the list of drivers, and if there's a suitable one, I'll choose one.

Qi Tongwei scanned the list, which was very well done. The age, place of origin, years of driving experience, and even hobbies and special skills were written clearly. It was clear that Zhou Jianbin had put his heart into it.

His gaze swept quickly across the list, finally settling on the name "Liu Lei".

He was a veteran and had never worked as a full-time driver for anyone else.

However, I still want to meet him in person.

Qi Tongwei asked Zhou Jianbin to notify Liu Lei.

after awhile.

There was a knock on the office door.

Boom boom boom!

"Come in!" Qi Tongwei leaned back in his chair.

A young man strode in, saluted, and said, "Governor Qi, I am Liu Lei."

Qi Tongwei returned the salute, "I was also a soldier."

The two people's relationship instantly became closer.

This is also a matter of human relationships and social customs.

Subsequently, Qi Tongwei, accompanied by Liu Lei and Zhou Jianbin, went to the No. 6 compound of the Provincial Party Committee.

This is the accommodation arranged for him by the Provincial Party Committee.

Initially, the small courtyards where the Standing Committee members of the Hantong Provincial Party Committee's family quarters lived were basically arranged according to their power.

For example, the provincial party secretary lives in the No. 1 compound of the provincial party committee, and the provincial governor lives in the No. 2 compound of the provincial party committee.

But things changed afterward.

For example, Li Dakang, the Party Secretary of Jingzhou City, did not live in the provincial Party Committee's residential area, and similarly, the Party Secretary of Lüzhou City did not live there either.

Aside from the Provincial Party Committee Compound No. 1, whenever Sha Ruijin comes, he will definitely stay there.

Another available space is the No. 6 compound of the Provincial Party Committee.

Therefore, Qi Tongwei, the executive vice governor, moved into the No. 6 compound of the provincial party committee.
