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

In Qi Tongwei's office at the County Party Committee Office, Luan Yu gave a brief account of the situation three years ago.

After listening to his explanation, Qi Tongwei lit a cigarette and asked in a deep voice.

"According to you, the county considered diverting water from the Bailong River three years ago... why did it stop again?"

What caused the work stoppage? Was it a funding issue, or some other problem?

After speaking, Qi Tongwei and Baimaiti looked at Luan Yu together, waiting for his answer.

Seeing that the two of them were looking at him, Luan Yu frowned slightly and said with a wry smile.

"Secretary Qi, County Chief Bai... I don't know the specific reason either, I was in another department at the time."

Rumor has it that an accident occurred during construction, and work was halted...

Qi Tongwei glanced at Baimaiti, narrowed his eyes, and muttered something under his breath.

"It's all about Li Guofu's time in office... This former secretary has really given us quite a few surprises."

Baimaiti didn't respond. After a moment's thought, he looked at Luan Yu and said in a deep voice.

"Check the records... If you can't find it at the Water Resources Bureau, check the County Archives."

Please organize the materials, and we'll have a meeting tomorrow to discuss it.

After saying that, he looked at Qi Tongwei and continued speaking.

"At the meeting, let's also discuss whether to put the water on first or the electricity on first..."

Baimaiti spoke, and Luan Yu didn't dare to delay, immediately following up.

"It's been a long time, and I don't know if anyone was in charge of it..."

If there's nothing else, I'll go back and look up some information first.

Qi Tongwei nodded and gave another instruction.

"Okay, you go first. Since it'll take a while, try to collect as much detailed information as possible..."

Luan Yu nodded in agreement and got up to leave the office.

Seeing Luan Yu leave, Qi Tongwei tossed Bai Maiti a cigarette and asked in a deep voice.

"Brother Bai. Three years ago, wasn't that Fu Yuan from the city no longer there?"

Baimaiti lit a cigarette, thought for a moment, shook his head, and replied softly.

"He must have been transferred to the city..."

He took a deep drag of his cigarette, glanced at Qi Tongwei, and asked softly.

"You think there are problems with the water diversion project? Are you worried that he was involved?"

Qi Tongwei narrowed his eyes, slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, and said with a wry smile.

"It's best not to participate... However, the water diversion project is a good thing that benefits the country and its people..."

It's been shelved for three years, there must be a problem... and it's not a small one..."

Baimaiti gave Qi Tongwei a deep look, took a deep drag of his cigarette, and muttered something under his breath.

"What a rollercoaster ride... Fu Yuan's situation is really something else..."

Qi Tongwei grinned, his words carrying a profound meaning.

"With mines and oil... you can just reach out and your hands will be covered in oil. How can it be simple..."

Baimaiti hesitated for a moment, glanced at Qi Tongwei, and tentatively asked.

"Pursue them to the very end?"

Qi Tongwei sighed, his voice becoming somewhat helpless.

"As long as it doesn't hinder Fuyuan's development... If the water is too clear, there will be no fish..."

Baimaiti was taken aback, frowned, nodded, and said nothing more.

......

The following morning at 10:00 AM, the leadership team held a meeting on time, chaired by Qi Tongwei.

In the small meeting room of the county committee, Qi Tong saw that everyone had arrived and slowly began to speak.

"Today's meeting is called a temporary meeting, but it's actually to discuss two key tasks for next year."

The work is important, but the difficulties we face are also formidable.

I hope everyone will not be conservative, but will freely express their opinions and pool their wisdom and efforts...

After setting the tone, he paused slightly, looked at Luan Yu, and continued speaking.

Yesterday, County Chief Bai and I went to Ergong Township and visited some farmers...

You don't know until you go, and what you find is shocking. I never imagined that Fuyuan was so short of water...

The town has a water tower and running water... but the rural areas still use dry wells and have to haul water...

I met with County Chief Bai, and we agreed that the water diversion project in Fuyuan cannot wait and must be started.

Director Luan, could you please explain the specifics first...?

As soon as Qi Tongwei finished speaking, Luan Yu opened the documents in his hand and began to speak.

"Let me report to the leaders on the historical situation of the water diversion project three years ago..."

After saying that, he distributed the compiled documents to everyone and continued speaking.

"These are the materials I sorted out from the archives yesterday. Please take a look, leaders."

According to the documents, the procedures and approval documents for the water diversion project were complete at the time.

The project is currently on hold; it has not been halted or terminated...

After reading the documents in his hand, Qi Tongwei frowned slightly and asked a question in a low voice.

"The reason for the delay... is written rather vaguely. Do you know the specifics?"

Luan Yu flipped through the documents, looked at Qi Tongwei, and gave a wry smile.

"All the information I could find is here... The person in charge of the project is Zhang Wei, so there's no way to ask him anymore."

The documents stated that the geology was complex and prone to collapse, requiring additional funding...

He paused slightly, glanced at Qi Tongwei, and hesitated before speaking.

Upon seeing this, Qi Tongwei immediately spoke up.

"Behind closed doors, we're all family. Speak your mind freely, no need to hold back..."

Luan Yu gritted his teeth and said softly.

"It's said that a culvert collapsed at the time... but it's been so long that there are no records..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zalta glanced at him, pursed his lips, and said nothing.

Qi Tongwei and Baimaiti exchanged a glance, and then Qi Tongwei asked again.

Regardless of the reasons for the project's suspension... judging from the information you've compiled...

This project doesn't need to be resubmitted... it can be restarted simply by submitting a resumption application?

Luan Yu nodded, his answer hesitant and his voice slightly weak.

"The approval document has no time limit; procedurally speaking, that's how it is."

As long as the design and construction plans remain unchanged, work can resume once a resumption application is submitted...

Upon hearing this, Baimaiti's face lit up with joy, and he immediately looked at Qi Tongwei.

"That saves us trouble... I think we can resume work. Secretary Qi, what's your opinion?"

Qi Tongwei glanced at Baimaiti, chuckled, and spoke.

"Well, our former Party Secretary has actually done something good for Fuyuan..."

After saying that, he looked around at everyone and continued.

"There's not much to say about this work. The water diversion project is a key project for improving people's livelihoods."

I support County Chief Bai's decision; it should be a key focus for next year. What are everyone's opinions?

As his voice faded, murmurs arose in the conference room, but no one voiced their opinion.

Seeing that no one spoke, Qi Tongwei and Baimaiti exchanged a glance and slowly spoke.

"Since no one is saying anything, I'll start by posing a difficult question..."

After saying that, he looked around at everyone, his gaze finally landing on Baimaiti, and asked in a deep voice.

"This is definitely a good thing, but how do we secure the funding?"

When Baimaiti saw Qi Tongwei looking at him, he coughed lightly and spoke.

"Our county's fiscal revenue for the fourth quarter was 577 million..."

Based on this data, it is estimated that next year's total fiscal revenue could exceed 20 million...

I've met with the Finance Bureau, and the county has about 960 million yuan at its disposal...

He paused slightly, glanced at Qi Tongwei, and tentatively began to speak.

"My suggestion is that the county should contribute half, and the rest should be used to solicit donations in the city..."

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

Everyone was somewhat surprised, as they hadn't expected that fiscal revenue in the fourth quarter would double.

Qi Tongwei was not surprised; Fuyuan Mine's ability to provide financial support was exactly what he had expected.

He composed himself slightly, ignoring Baimaiti's words, and instead looked at Luan Yu and asked a question.

"Director Luan, did the city allocate any funds for the water diversion project at that time?"

Luan Yu was surprised that Qi Tongwei would ask this question, and quickly started flipping through the documents.

After searching through the documents, he stared at them, frowned slightly, and answered aloud.

"The city allocated 300 million yuan for this project, but it was all spent that year... Here are the details..."

Discussions broke out again in the conference room, and everyone understood what Luan Yu's words meant.

Qi Tongwei glanced at Baimaiti, sighed, and said with a wry smile.

"Sigh, it would be great if Li Guofu's case were handled by the county government..."

His voice wasn't loud, but his tone was somewhat meaningful, which startled Baimaiti.

Baimaiti gave Qi Tongwei a deep look, gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice.

"Leave this to me. I'll personally go to the city to submit the application to resume work..."
