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

The Santana sped along Provincial Highway 303, heading towards Fuyuan County.

Qi Tongwei leaned back in the back seat, his left arm in a sling, swaying slightly with the bumps of the car.

He gazed out the window at the Gobi Desert passing by, Wang Quanyou's words still echoing in his mind.

"Bianxi City must not be in chaos, and Bianxi Province must be even more secure..."

It is obvious that Wang Quanyou intentionally did not delve deeper into the August 13 incident.

But why? For stability? Qi Tongwei felt something was missing...

After pondering for a long time, he narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had figured something out.

Wang Quanyou has just joined the provincial party committee leadership team, and there are many things he needs to consider...

Having figured all this out, Qi Tongwei couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The officialdom is indeed not about fighting and killing; it's more about checks and balances and exchanges...

He sighed, turned his face to the window, and stopped thinking about it.

The morning after returning to Fuyuan County.

Qi Tongwei immediately convened a special meeting to address the issue.

The meeting room was full of people, and all the members of the Standing Committee were present.

Qi Tongwei sat in the main seat with his left arm in a sling. His face was still a little pale, but he was in good spirits.

He cleared his throat and spoke in a deep voice.

"Comrades, today's meeting has only one topic: a concentrated effort to clean up illegal coal mines!"

After a slight pause, he added another sentence.

"Comrades, listen carefully, it's not 'governance,' it's 'centralized cleanup'..."

"Kill them one by one, kill them both if you see them in pairs."

As his voice faded, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission frowned slightly and asked a question in a low voice.

"Secretary Qi, cracking down on illegal coal mines is very necessary."

But isn't this drastic measure...?

From what I understand, the small coal mines in the county support many people who rely on coal for their livelihood...

Qi Tongwei didn't answer, but glanced at him and asked in a deep voice.

"Comrades, 13 people died in a mining accident in Dayou Township."

How many people died in Jin Hu's illegal coal mine? How many died in these small, unlicensed coal mines?

Safety in production is of paramount importance...

As soon as he finished speaking, the meeting room erupted in discussion.

Seeing that no one was speaking, Baimaiti frowned slightly and expressed his concern.

"Secretary Qi, Fuyuan's main source of income is these coal mines, large and small."

"Shutting down all these small mines now will probably impact this year's GDP..."

Qi Tongwei nodded, took a deep drag of his cigarette, and slowly began to speak.

"Comrades, I know your concerns—concerns about economic development, concerns about rankings..."

But please think about it: if a major accident occurs, will ranking still be of any use?

"Are we, as public officials, doing a good job of sacrificing the safety of ordinary people for the sake of the economy and GDP?"

As soon as he finished speaking, murmurs broke out again in the meeting room.

Some people nodded, while others shook their heads.

Qi Tongwei saw this and frowned slightly.

He exchanged opinions with Bai Mai and said in a deep voice.

"This is non-negotiable! After the meeting, implement this immediately, on a township-by-town basis!"

Inside the meeting room, a clamor arose, and the sounds of discussion blended together.

Seeing this, Baimaiti tapped the table and said in a deep voice.

"The county government must resolutely carry out the orders given by the Party Secretary. They don't even have the most basic awareness?"

"Public security and geological and mining departments, you should take the lead in formulating a plan and strive to implement it as soon as possible..."

Immediately after the meeting, Fuyuan County launched a special campaign to crack down on illegal coal mines.

Chen Sichao was very effective, starting directly with the coal dealers, leaving the small coal mines nowhere to hide...

For a time, the mine owners, large and small, in Fuyuan County were filled with lamentations.

More and more rumors unfavorable to Qi Tongwei also began to circulate.

Some say that Qi Tongwei disregarded the lives of ordinary people in pursuit of political achievements.

Some say that Qi Tongwei wanted to take bribes and deliberately held the mine owner hostage...

These voices spread from the townships to the county seat, growing wider and more unpleasant with each passing day.

Even some officials in the county and township have started to discuss it.

I think Qi Tongwei really went too far; he seemed a bit too ambitious and eager for quick success...

After a week of rectification efforts, Qi Tongwei finally saw his opportunity.

Li Guangran has finally returned from Bianxi City, bringing back good news.

Li Guangran walked into Qi Tongwei's office, looking travel-worn, but with a smile on his face.

He placed a stack of documents in front of Qi Tongwei and said with a smile.

"Secretary Qi, all the permits for Fuyuan Coal Mine are ready. We can proceed to the next step..."

Qi Tongwei gestured for him to sit down, poured him a glass of water, and asked with a smile.

"Getting the permits done is the first step; the real challenge is the subsequent production and construction. It's a long and arduous journey."

"How's it going...? We should have results soon in the overall reserve exploration too..."

Li Guangran took the teacup, paused slightly, and his smile faded a little.

"Secretary Qi, based on the current progress, I predict we'll have results by the end of the year..."

Qi Tongwei nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said in a deep voice.

"Then we can't wait any longer, we need to start recruiting immediately...we'll give priority to experienced miners."

Let's take a two-pronged approach. You get the team organized first... I'll handle the work in the county..."

......

That afternoon, Fuyuan Coal Mine was established, and a recruitment notice was posted throughout the county.

The announcement caused an uproar in Fuyuan County, and the rumors about Qi Tongwei were dispelled.

The closure of illegal coal mines, the establishment of Fuyuan Coal Mine, and the recruitment of workers at Fuyuan Mine...

After this series of actions, even ordinary people could understand Qi Tongwei's operation.

Qi Tongwei did indeed ruin the livelihoods of many people, but he immediately handed over a secure job to someone else.

Even ordinary people understood it, let alone the county officials.

The county rectified four small mines, explored Huoshaoliang, strictly investigated all illegal coal mines in the county, and established the county-owned Fuyuan Mine...

By connecting Qi Tongwei's series of actions, the group made a startling discovery.

After Qi Tongwei arrived at Fuyuan, he seemed to have done a lot of things, but there was only one core issue.

That was the mine. His core focus, from beginning to end, was on Fuyuan's mine.

The rectification of the four small mines is for the purpose of standardization.

The exploration of Huoshaoliang was to find a large mine and to select a site for the Fuyuan Mine.

Dismantling illegal coal mines is to provide ordinary people with a reliable job...

After thinking it through and understanding it clearly, the cadres began to admire Qi Tongwei from the bottom of their hearts.

Everyone secretly admired Qi Tongwei for making such a brilliant move.

One link leads to another, each link is interconnected... even future coal transportation has been planned in advance.

While the recruitment notice for Fuyuan Coal Mine was being posted, Qi Tongwei was also busy.

He convened a work meeting for all townships in the county party committee conference room.

The meeting was a big affair, with leaders from all the townships in the county in attendance, forming a dense, undisputed crowd.

Qi Tongwei didn't keep anyone in suspense; he cleared his throat and set the tone for the meeting.

"Comrades, I don't like meetings. Let's not waste time and get straight to the point."

Today, we've gathered here to discuss one thing: the future development of Fuyuan Coal Mine.

After saying that, he pointed to Baimaiti beside him and said with a smile.

"I've set up the stage, let's have County Chief Baimaiti begin his performance..."
