Nominal: Energy sector enters Handong, breaking the deadlock

"Director Qi, what did you say?" Song Yunhui turned his head and looked at Qi Tongwei.

Qi Tongwei then realized he had misspoke and quickly tried to cover it up: "Governor Song, I, I was just saying."

Song Yunhui's tone was somewhat serious: "Just saying? Director Qi, you are the Director of the Provincial Public Security Department, how can you speak so casually?"

Qi Tongwei was a little embarrassed, but he still forced himself to say, "Governor Song, I just think that by using Chen Yanshi, we can get Secretary Sha's attention."

Qi Tongwei was actually eyeing the Standing Committee votes held by Sha Ruijin.

She felt that, after all, she was Chen Hai's senior and Chen Yang's classmate.

Through Chen Yanshi, Sha Ruijin might just see him.

Song Yunhui stared at him: "So you want to go and till the land?"

"No, Governor Song, what I mean is," Qi Tongwei licked his lips, "Mayor Wu and Executive Director Ren's actions have at least attracted Secretary Sha's attention."

Song Yunhui's face darkened: "Foolish, Director Qi, this is something you can't do."

Qi Tongwei was taken aback: "Why?"

Song Yunhui looked into his eyes: "Do you think Chen Yanshi likes you that much? It's good enough if it doesn't backfire."

"Well?" Qi Tongwei opened his mouth, as if to say something, but didn't say anything.

Song Yunhui felt a little worried; why had Director Qi's IQ suddenly dropped again?

Strangely enough, Qi Tongwei tends to make mistakes when facing a member of the provincial standing committee.

What Song Yunhui didn't know was that Qi Tongwei was extremely eager to improve his career.

Li Dakang sneered, "Director Qi, think about it. You arrested Chen Qiang and Chen Changgang, who are all relatives of Chen Yanshi. How could Chen Yanshi possibly like you?"

If Chen Yanshi appreciated you, he wouldn't have objected to you being with Chen Yang back then.

These words were like a knife, piercing straight into Qi Tongwei's heart.

Qi Tongwei's face turned pale instantly.

He lowered his head and clasped his hands tightly together.

Looking at him, Li Dakang sighed inwardly.

This Qi Tongwei is capable, but he's too eager for quick success and instant benefits.

Sha Ruijin's arrival in Handong is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but the problem is, you have to first assess your own capabilities.

Trying to curry favor with the newly arrived provincial party secretary through Chen Yanshi is just wishful thinking.

Song Yunhui was also a ministerial-level official, on par with Sha Ruijin.

Director Qi's IQ has temporarily dropped offline.

Gao Yuliang, who had been watching from the sidelines, finally spoke up: "Tongwei, if you're still trying to get closer, aren't you just asking for trouble?"

Qi Tongwei raised his head, his eyes filled with resentment: "But, teacher, I just want to improve. If Secretary Sha votes for me, my position as vice governor is secure."

Looking at him, Song Yunhui felt a complex mix of emotions.

This Qi Tongwei, too, is the son of a farmer.

He married Liang Lu in order to climb the social ladder.

Now he's trying to curry favor with Sha Ruijin through Chen Yanshi; isn't that just asking for trouble?

If Chen Yanshi were to take a liking to Qi Tongwei, Qi Tongwei would likely become Chen Yanshi's daughter and son-in-law.

"Director Qi," Song Yunhui said, genuinely disappointed, "this isn't how you get promoted. You need to do your job well first, so the Standing Committee members can see your ability and attitude, instead of resorting to these underhanded methods. If you can get promoted just by turning over the soil, isn't that absurd?"

Sha Ruijin can influence whether Qi Tongwei makes progress, and so can Song Yunhui.

Qi Tongwei lowered his head, his voice muffled: "Boss, I know I was wrong."

Gao Yuliang patted him on the shoulder: "Tongwei, it's good that you know you were wrong. Don't make such a low-level mistake again. Don't even touch Chen Yanshi's line."

Listen to Governor Song's advice: think things through before acting.

Gao Yuliang knows Chen Yanshi best.

Over the years, Gao Yuliang and Chen Yanshi have had the most contact.

Especially after Chen Yanshi retired, he caused Gao Yuliang a lot of trouble.

Without him.

Everyone else ignored Chen Yanshi.

The Coaster continued its journey forward.

Qi Tongwei leaned back in his chair, watching the scenery rushing past the window, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

He knew perfectly well that Li Dakang, Gao Yuliang, and Song Yunhui were right, but he just couldn't accept it.

After so many years of hard work, he finally got the chance to become a deputy provincial-level official, and he really didn't want to miss it.

Qi Tongwei really wants to improve.

But who knew that this opportunity seemed to be playing tricks on him again.

He recalled the days he spent with Chen Yang, and the cloudy eyes of Chen Yanshi, and felt as if something was blocking his heart.

Thinking of his beloved Chen Yang, Liang Lu who was still in the hospital, and the mission to find veterans of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Qi Tongwei was filled with passion again.

As the Coaster passed the Provincial Public Security Bureau, Qi Tongwei requested that it pull over.

"Governor Song, I need to find the veteran that Lu Guifen, the director of the Women's Salvation Association, entrusted us to find as soon as possible."

Song Yunhui nodded. "Okay, Director Qi, then I'll leave it to you. Be sure to do it as soon as possible; I believe you can do it."

"Governor Song, is there anything else you need?" Qi Tongwei picked up his briefcase.

Song Yunhui advised, "Use your brain more and think twice before you act."

"Yes, sir." Qi Tongwei saluted and stepped off the Coaster.

Song Yunhui glanced at Qi Tongwei, who strode into the Provincial Public Security Bureau, and instructed the driver to continue driving.

soon.

The Coaster was parked in the provincial government compound.

It was already 1 p.m.

Song Yunhui, Gao Yuliang, Li Dakang, and others went straight to the canteen of the government office.

The three of them had dinner together and then parted ways.

Gao Yuliang returned to the provincial party committee compound.

Li Dakang rushed to the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee.

Secretary Zhou Haoyang pushed open the office door, and Song Yunhui walked in.

Hang your coat on the coat rack.

Song Yunhui walked to his desk and pressed the intercom button.

"Comrade Jianguo, come here."

Less than three minutes later, Ding Jianguo, a member of the Standing Committee and Vice Governor, entered the room carrying several folders.

Secretary Zhou Haoyang poured two cups of tea, then left and closed the door behind him.

Song Yunhui sat in his office chair, picked up his teacup, and asked, "Jianguo, has everything been alright at the provincial government these past few days?"

No news is good news.

Because Ding Jianguo did not call Song Yunhui during this period.

Ding Jianguo sat down opposite him. "Governor Song, all tasks are progressing smoothly."

Ding Jianguo is a cautious person. Any task assigned to him is done meticulously and without error.

Ding Jianguo placed the documents in his hand in front of Song Yunhui. "Governor Song, these documents are urgent and must be signed by you personally."

Song Yunhui took the top document and opened it. "Jianguo, are there any flaws?"

"I've already approved it, no problem." Ding Jianguo pointed to the bottom of the paper, "All the departments that need to review it have completed the procedures, all that's left is for you to make the final decision and sign it off."

Song Yunhui's gaze fell on the core terms regarding the destination of the funds.

I glanced at it twice and confirmed that the amount matched.

He uncapped the pen and signed his name with a flourish.

Three documents were signed in a row.

The pen had just left the paper when the phone on the table rang.

Ding Jianguo stood up and prepared to leave.

Song Yunhui pointed to the gift bag, "Jianguo, these are local specialties from Lincheng and Yantai. Take them back and try them."

Song Yunhui instructed his secretary Zhou Haoyang to buy it, and also prepared a copy for his old classmate.

"Thank you, Xiaohui." Knowing that Song Yunhui had a phone call, Ding Jianguo picked up the two gift bags and hurriedly left.

Song Yunhui reached for the microphone, "Hello, who is this?"

"Comrade Yunhui, this is Sha Ruijin. I'd like to talk to you." Sha Ruijin sat in his car. "You just got back from your research trip. Where are you? I'll come find you."

Song Yunhui leaned back in his chair. "Okay, Comrade Ruijin, I'm in my office."
