Qi Tongwei at the start: Not relying on Liang Lu, but winning by a single move against Heaven.

On Saturday evening, Qi Tongwei's reunion was held as scheduled.

The location was chosen by Zarta; it was a small restaurant in Taiqi.

The restaurant is small and the storefront is not flashy, but it is an authentic Hui Muslim restaurant, and its hand-pulled mutton is especially delicious.

For this meal, Qi Tongwei invited not only Wu Shanheng, but also Su Lie and Li Guangran.

Four people in a small private room, the atmosphere was very lively.

Especially with Su Lie present, the conversation was less bureaucratic and more like old friends reminiscing.

After a few drinks, everyone relaxed and started talking.

Qi Tongwei spoke first, smiling as he asked Wu Shanheng.

"Shanheng, you're doing well working on the big rock, right? Is the work progressing smoothly?"

Wu Shanheng took a sip of wine, smiled, and shook his head.

"Things are going fairly smoothly; all tasks are underway. The new leadership is prioritizing stability..."

He paused slightly, a smile playing on his lips, and clinked glasses with Qi Tongwei.

"Secretary Qi, you really have guts... to clean up the four small mines and build roads to the Beitai oilfield..."

Before he could finish speaking, Su Lie interrupted him.

Su Lie's face was flushed from drinking, and he grinned widely before slapping his thigh.

"That's absolutely right! We're all betting on how much you're prepared to bleed the North Taiwan oil field dry..."

Qi Tongwei glanced at him and replied with a smile.

"That's definitely a must... Besides, we've finally found a fat sheep, how can we let him get away?"

After the joke was told, the four of them burst into laughter, and the atmosphere instantly became much more lively.

As the laughter subsided, Qi Tongwei glanced at the two of them and pointed at Li Guangran.

"You three just met today, aren't you going to deepen your relationship with some of you? Don't just stare at me..."

When Qi Tongwei spoke, the three of them immediately clinked glasses.

Seeing that the three had finished drinking, Qi Tongwei looked at Su Lie and Wu Shanheng and asked softly.

"It's almost the end of the year, what are your plans? Shanheng's temporary assignment is about to expire..."

Wu Shanheng sighed, downed the wine in his glass in one gulp, and sounded somewhat forlorn.

"Let's just take it one step at a time... there's only one spot left for every radish in the county..."

He paused slightly, then offered words of comfort to himself.

"However, I've been in Bianxi long enough; it's time for a promotion... Old Su, what about you?"

Su Lie was gnawing on mutton when he mumbled a reply.

"I just handle cases, arrest people... I do my job steadily..."

Qi Tongwei smiled but didn't respond, instead raising his glass and taking a sip.

The drinking session lasted until 11 p.m., and they drank quite a lot and talked even more.

After the drinking session, Qi Tongwei had a general understanding of the two men's situations.

In short, it's conventional and follows the established procedures.

On the way back to Fuyuan, Li Guangran sat in the passenger seat, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Qi Tongwei, fearing he might be holding it in, asked softly with a smile.

"Guangran, if you have something to ask, just say it. Don't bottle it up... or you'll get sick from holding it in..."

Li Guangran was taken aback, sighed, and asked with a wry smile.

"Secretary, tonight's dinner... isn't just about catching up, is it?"

Qi Tongwei smiled and asked a question instead of answering.

"Oh? Not catching up? Then what do you think it is?"

Li Guangran gritted his teeth. Since he had already asked, he might as well be frank.

"I have a feeling something's not right... Fu Yuan seems a bit sullen, like something's about to change..."

Qi Tongwei smiled, glanced at him, and remained noncommittal.

Whether the weather changes or not depends on God's mood... It's always good to be prepared...

......

On Monday, Qi Tongwei arrived in Bianxi City ahead of schedule and had lunch with Baimaiti at their usual spot.

The two of them always eat simple meals, and today they didn't even drink alcohol for lunch.

The two of them each had a serving of lamb leg pilaf and ten lamb skewers, their mouths greasy from eating.

Qi Tongwei grabbed a skewer of mutton, took a big bite, and asked softly.

"How's the Party Secretary's mood? I hope I won't get criticized later?"

Baimaiti was taken aback, glanced at him, and asked a question instead of answering.

"What's wrong? Did you do something wrong again?"

Qi Tongwei chuckled and lowered his voice.

"Is this a sensitive period...? I don't know the situation in the city, I'm just asking..."

Qi Tongwei meant it sincerely.

After he transmigrated into this world, his memories of his previous life were basically useless.

The organizational structure of this world is completely different from what I remember.

It's fair to say that he had almost no understanding of the current organizational structure.

Baimaiti took a sip of wine, glanced at him, and spoke casually.

"What could possibly happen... Mayor Cheng and Deputy Mayor Wang taking over in turn was entirely expected..."

Qi Tongwei nodded, instantly understanding the current power structure.

In Bianxi City, Cheng Shizhong is in charge, and Wang Jianguo plays a supporting role...

But Wang Jianguo was a soldier promoted by Wang Quanyou...

Checks and balances—Wang Quanyou's skill in managing people is truly remarkable!

......

At 2 p.m. sharp, Qi Tongwei knocked on the door of Wang Quanyou's office.

When Wang Quanyou saw him arrive, he smiled and invited him to sit down.

He walked up to Qi Tongwei, looked him up and down, and tossed him a cigarette with a smile.

"He's gotten darker, less of a student, and looks more like a cadre from Bianxi... Not bad."

Qi Tongwei sat on the sofa, grinned, and replied with a smile.

"Building roads, running around to grassroots levels, spending all day in the Gobi Desert under the scorching sun—it would be strange if I didn't get tanned..."

Wang Quanyou smiled and lit a cigarette, joking with him.

"Oh dear, is this my fault? I shouldn't have sent you to Fuyuan again..."

Qi Tongwei lit a cigarette and waved his hand repeatedly in response.

"Please don't wrong me, I didn't mean that... I'm actually quite grateful to you."

If I hadn't come to Fuyuan, I would never have seen Fuyuan's version of "The Unofficial History of Officialdom"...

After he finished speaking, the two looked at each other and burst into laughter at the same time.

After a long chat, the two got along very well, their conversation flowing like that of a teacher and student, rather than a superior and subordinate.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Wang Quanyou checked the time and got straight to the point.

"Hey kid, spit it out. Calling me at such a sensitive time, it must be something important, right?"

When Qi Tongwei saw that Wang Quanyou had asked, he didn't beat around the bush.

He piled up the mining map and reserve analysis report of Huoshaoliang on the coffee table.

"Although I'm not sure, I really think this is a big deal and I need to report it to you..."

After saying that, he drew a circle on the diagram of the burning beam and continued speaking.

"The locals call this area Huoshaoliang (Fire Burning Ridge), there might be a large coalfield here..."

Wang Quanyou was taken aback, glanced at the map, and asked in a deep voice.

"A huge coalfield? How big is it?"

Qi Tongwei gritted his teeth, determined to say something shocking.

"According to the Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources' conservative estimate, there are reserves of 80 billion tons..."

After he finished speaking, Wang Quanyou stared at him without saying a word for a long time.

After a long silence, Wang Quanyou took a deep drag of his cigarette and slowly spoke.

"This is no laughing matter... If this is truly the amount of reserves, it needs to be reported..."

Qi Tongwei frowned and said with a wry smile.

"As I said, I'm not entirely certain... this is just an estimated reserve..."

As you know, Fuyuan does not meet the conditions for comprehensive exploration.

He paused slightly, looked at Wang Quanyou very seriously, and said in a deep voice.

"In this kind of matter, it's better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free...that's why I was in a hurry to report to you."

Wang Quanyou didn't respond, but slowly nodded.

He took a few deep drags of his cigarette, carefully reviewed the assessment report, and said in a deep voice.

"You did the right thing, the news didn't get out, did it?"

Qi Tongwei nodded, his answer quite certain.

"Don't worry. As soon as I learned the situation, I immediately shut the Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources up..."

He paused slightly, then added another sentence.

"Secretary, I suggest assigning special personnel to strengthen control... to prevent illegal mining and unnecessary trouble."

Wang Quanyou's finger slowly slid across the ground map, and he nodded in agreement.

"You're right, it's better to be safe than sorry... This is a serious matter, we must be careful."

"Okay, you take charge of the details, and have Fuyuan Public Security Bureau send people..."

After Wang Quanyou finished speaking, Qi Tongwei sighed and said with a wry smile.

"Secretary, I do not recommend that Fuyuan County send people."

Wang Quanyou was taken aback, looked at Qi Tongwei, and asked in a deep voice, "Why?"

Qi Tongwei remained silent.

He took out a brown paper file folder from his bag, the very one Liu Datong had given him.

He placed the file folder in front of Wang Quanyou and said in a deep voice.

"Look, the source doesn't comply with the procedures... I didn't dare hand it over to the local discipline inspection commission."

I really don't know how to handle this, I'm sorry to have caused you so much trouble..."

Wang Quanyou glanced at him, picked up the file folder, and pulled out the materials inside to look through them.

The more Wang Quanyou looked, the uglier his expression became.

After reading the last page, he slammed the document on the table and snorted coldly.

"I know that Fuyuan's situation is complicated, so I specially raised the level of your appointment."

But I never imagined that Fu Yuan's problem wasn't just about forming cliques. It was rotten to the core...

After saying that, he lit a cigarette, looked at Qi Tongwei, and asked in a deep voice.

"What's your opinion? Don't hold back, just say it!"
