Upon hearing that Qi Tongwei was going to hold a Standing Committee meeting, Zhang Wei instantly sobered up considerably.

He knew in his heart that he had been drinking too much and had said something inappropriate.

But what's done is done, and there's nothing he can do to change it, so he can only remain silent.

For the next few days, Zhang Wei seemed to have lost his sense of taste, and everything he ate tasted bland and tasteless.

After finishing the drinking session, Zhang Guozhong was truly drunk, and in the end, Zharta had to help him into the car.

Just before closing the car door, Qi Tongwei held Zhang Guozhong's hand and thanked him profusely.

After expressing his gratitude, he added a special comment.

"Brother Zhang, I'll arrange for someone to contact you tomorrow."

As Zhang Guozhong's car drove out of the county government compound, Qi Tongwei said with a smile.

"Director Zharta, please inform us of the leadership meeting tomorrow morning."

Zharta nodded in agreement, while Zhang Wei, standing to the side, frowned slightly.

He gave Qi Tongwei a deep look, narrowed his eyes, and hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Although he still didn't understand what Qi Tongwei wanted to do, he knew it in his heart.

Qi Tongwei's second major move is likely about to begin.

......

The temporary leadership team held a meeting in the small conference room at 9:00 a.m. the following morning.

Because it was a last-minute notice, people arrived in a scattered manner.

In the corridor, Gao Gui greeted Zhang Wei with a smile.

"County Chief Zhang, what was the agenda of the temporary leadership meeting?"

Zhang Wei was taken aback by the question, sighed, and strode into the conference room.

Inside the conference room, Qi Tongwei was unpretentious and sat in the meeting room early, waiting for others.

As people entered one after another, Qi Tongwei smiled and nodded in acknowledgment, secretly memorizing the order in which they came in.

Once everyone had arrived, he tapped his fingers on the table and spoke with a smile.

"Lai Fuyuan, this is my first time organizing a meeting, so it's a bit rushed. Please forgive me."

After finishing his opening remarks, he paused slightly before speaking again.

"However, it happened so suddenly, there was nothing we could do about it."

"If a pie falls from the sky, we at Fuyuan should definitely catch it!"

With just two sentences, all the members of the leadership team in the meeting room became interested.

The crowd began to murmur amongst themselves, but Zhang Wei sat upright and remained silent.

Seeing that the desired effect had been achieved, Qi Tongwei stopped being coy and got straight to the point.

"Here's what happened: Yesterday I begged for alms at the Beitai Oilfield and got a road."

Today, let's discuss the specific plan...

These words caused an uproar in the conference room.

No one expected that Qi Tongwei would want to build roads as soon as he arrived in Fuyuan, and even more unexpectedly, he was connected with the Beitai Oilfield.

Seeing that everyone was talking and no one was speaking up, Qi Tongwei continued to speak.

"My opinion is this: road construction is directly related to the future development of Fuyuan."

I suggest setting up a special team to specifically coordinate with the oil field on the details.

Seeing that everyone had stopped talking, they all looked at him.

He patted Zhang Wei's arm with a smile and continued.

"As for the person in charge of the special task force, County Chief Zhang suggested that Comrade Gao Gui take the lead."

Let's not be secretive. Everyone, please share your opinions and ideas..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the discussion resumed.

When the paddle hit Gao Gui, he was the one who felt the pain.

Seeing that Zhang Wei didn't speak, he grinned and said with a wry smile.

"Secretary Qi, I've never overseen road construction before, I'm afraid I'll mess things up..."

Qi Tongwei smiled and waved his hand, interrupting him.

"Hey, don't lose confidence in yourself."

I've discussed this with County Head Zhang, and the organization recognizes your abilities.

County Chief Zhang said, "You're in charge of the oilfield work, and you're familiar with Beitai, so you're the most suitable person to take the lead."

As for road construction, there's the highway bureau and experts, so what are you afraid of?

"It'll be tough on you, I guess you'll be staying in northern Taiwan for a while..."

After saying that, he chuckled, turned to look at Zhang Wei, and asked with a smile.

"County Chief Zhang, what do you think?"

Only then did Zhang Wei finally see through Qi Tongwei's intentions.

They halted the exploration, forced Zhang Guozhong to come to their door, and then used that as leverage to build the road...

While marveling at Qi Tongwei's deep scheming, Zhang Wei couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.

He didn't know if the road construction was real or not, but Qi Tongwei's intention to get Gao Gui away was definitely real.

In his inner circle, Gao Gui and Liu Datong were his right-hand men.

By sending Gao Gui away, Qi Tongwei effectively cut off half of his power of speech.

He instantly realized the seriousness of the problem and quickly thought of a solution.

But after thinking it over and over, he couldn't come up with a good solution, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and push through.

"Secretary Qi, road construction is a good thing, but can we really take what's said at the dinner table seriously?"

Qi Tongwei put on a stern face, his expression very serious.

"Are things said at the dinner table no longer considered valid?"

He paused slightly, glanced at Zhang Wei, and his gaze was somewhat meaningful.

"I've set the stage for this."

At the very least, Director Zhang verbally expressed his willingness to fund local development.

From a policy perspective, it also aligns with the general direction of joint development between oil and local governments.

As the head of a county, the county's development is a heavy responsibility on your shoulders...

"I can't possibly beg for food and then feed it to you."

As he finished speaking, Qi Tongwei's voice deepened, and he coldly surveyed the crowd.

Seeing that Zhang Wei had fallen silent, Gao Gui couldn't help but speak up.

"Secretary Qi, I...I have no experience in managing funds, I'm not qualified."

Qi Tongwei snorted coldly, glanced at Gao Gui, and asked in a deep voice.

Is it that they are not competent, or that they do not want to be competent?

This wasn't a decision I made on a whim; it was recommended by County Chief Zhang, and it was a decision made by the organization..."

He didn't say the second half of his sentence. Instead, he looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice.

"Comrades, I am not saying this to any one person, but to all members of the leadership team."

The cadres that Fuyuan needs are those who can go up mountains and down rivers.

They are pioneers who have the people in their hearts, not bureaucrats sitting in offices.

Anyone who feels they can't handle the job should resign as soon as possible; unpaid leave is also acceptable, I'll approve it.

After a few taps, there was no other sound in the conference room.

The meeting concluded, and Fuyuan's road construction team was officially finalized.

Gao Gui was appointed as the group leader, and Liu Delu from the Transportation Bureau was appointed as the deputy group leader.

The model remains the same as that of Leishan: the oil field provides the funds, Fuyuan provides the labor, and the paving is outsourced.

The meeting ended, and everyone left.

Qi Tongwei did not get up immediately, but stared at Liu Datong's back with a slight frown.

In his calculations, Liu Datong should have fired the shot; he shouldn't have remained silent.

But Liu Datong did exactly that, without saying a word from beginning to end.

Qi Tongwei couldn't help but snort coldly, muttering to himself.

Are you a wise fool, or are you pretending to be weak to take advantage of others?

As Zhang Weigang left the meeting room and entered his office, Gao Gui followed him in.

He casually closed the door and began to complain.

"County Chief Zhang, what do you mean... you want me to go to Beitai and eat sand?"

Zhang Wei glanced at him and said in a deep voice.

"Are you stupid? Didn't you realize? We've been tricked."

Gao Gui was taken aback.

Come to think of it, he was Zhang Wei's protégé, so why would Zhang Wei send him to Taipei?

After a moment's thought, he said in a deep voice.

"Go to North Taiwan if you want, they don't want to build roads..."

I gave him a full-on hen-like brooding, and he didn't move an inch.

Zhang Wei was so angry at his words that he laughed.

He even began to wonder whether Liu Datong or Gao Gui had a problem with their brains, or whether both of them did.

He laughed a few times, but his face gradually turned gloomy.

"Are you practically handing Qi Tongwei leverage over you? Are you afraid he'll have no reason to fire you?"

Gao Gui was taken aback, then grinned bitterly.

"Well then, tell me, what should we do?"
