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

A heavy silence fell over room 118 of the Fuyuan Guesthouse. The atmosphere had become exceptionally somber.

After a long silence, Baimaiti seemed to have found a loophole.

He looked up at Qi Tongwei and broke the silence first.

"The situation at Huoshaoliang, and the hidden reserves of the Beitai oil field..."

How did Zhao Xiaohui know this information?

No sooner had he finished speaking than Qi Tongwei glanced at him and asked a question in return.

What do you think?

Baimaiti blushed, opened his mouth, but said nothing more.

Given Zhao Lichun's high-ranking position, it's perfectly normal for him to receive information from higher-ups that is not publicly known.

Seeing that Baimaiti remained silent, Wu Shanheng immediately took over the conversation and tentatively asked.

"Secretary Qi, according to current policies, private enterprises are not allowed to invest in county-owned coal mines..."

Even if Zhao Xiaohui wanted to invest, there was no policy support...

Before Qi Tongwei could answer, Baimaiti spoke first.

"Shanheng, you're still young. There are many ways to get things done: affiliated with township governments, contracted out operations..."

These people are best at interpreting policies and skirting the rules...

Upon hearing this, Wu Shanheng frowned and nodded, indicating that there was no further problem.

Actually, there's another very important point that Qi Tongwei knows, but he can't say.

In two or three months, the policy will be relaxed, and the public-private partnership business model will be born.

Zhao Xiaohui clearly received advance notice, which is why she rushed to get involved...

Seeing that no one spoke, Baimaiti hesitated for a moment and asked again.

"Tongwei, just waiting isn't a solution... We need to find a way."

We're all in the same boat now, so what do you suggest? I'll listen to you...

Qi Tongwei glanced at Baimaiti, chuckled, and spoke.

"What should we do? When gods fight, we mortals shouldn't get involved. You're the one who told me that..."

Baimaiti was taken aback by what he said, and then smiled wryly and spoke.

"The situation is different now... They're practically putting their chopsticks into our bowls..."

Are you really just going to watch her devour the county's economic lifeline... and all your plans will be for nothing?

Qi Tongwei narrowed his eyes, sneered, and spoke.

"If they want to take over Fuyuan Mine, they'll have to ask the county committee and township collectives for their consent..."

Let's just leave this to the cold, let's give it a cold shoulder... let's stick to the three no's principle.

I refuse to believe that if the county committee doesn't back down and the people don't agree... they'll dare to forcibly seize it...

After hearing his words, all three of them were stunned and looked at Qi Tongwei.

"The 'Three No's Principle? What are the three 'no's'?"

Qi Tongwei smirked, extended a finger, and spoke with a cold smile.

"Neither proactive nor refusing, no responsibility!"

Seeing that no one understood, Qi Tongwei continued to explain.

"Don't proactively contact her, don't refuse her offers, and don't take responsibility for ensuring the cooperation goes through..."

You pass it to me, I pass it to him, he passes it to you again... In short, it's all about dragging things out...

"Dragging it out until Huoshaoliang is laid down, dragging it out until the higher-ups and Fuyuan are discussing the acquisition..."

Baimaiti nodded, glanced at Qi Tongwei, and tentatively asked a question.

"This way we've managed to hold onto the Fuyuan Mine... but what about the supply shortage...? It's still not resolved."

Qi Tongwei took a deep drag on his cigarette, tapped Wu Shanheng, and said in a deep voice.

"Therefore, the most urgent task is to push forward the framework agreement for the Beitai oil field..."

Once the framework agreement is signed, the die is cast... and the pressure will fall on the oil field...

......

The extraordinary Standing Committee meeting was held on time the following morning.

This meeting was once again chaired by Qi Tongwei.

He set a simple tone and then asked Wu Shanheng to introduce the contents of the framework agreement.

The agreement is not complicated; it simply involves providing supporting services in exchange for infrastructure materials from the Beitai Oilfield.

After briefly introducing the conditions of both parties, the voting process began directly.

There are only seven members on the Standing Committee of Fuyuan County, and three of them had already discussed the matter last night.

Seeing that the class monitor and deputy class monitor had agreed, no one had any objections.

The meeting ended, and the attendees gradually dispersed.

Qi Tongwei pulled Wu Shanheng aside and whispered a word of advice.

"Shanheng, please take this opportunity... Let's sign the agreement today, don't put it off..."

Ceremony, promotional activities, and press releases can all be postponed; signing the agreement must be done quickly...

The group met last night, and Wu Shanheng naturally knew the importance of the matter.

He nodded and said in a deep voice.

"Secretary Qi, don't worry, I'll go to Beitai right away... and try to get the agreement signed today."

Having said that, he took the agreement and headed straight for the Beitai Oilfield...

Wu Shanheng was very efficient, and Zhang Guozhong was also very cooperative.

As soon as he started work in the afternoon, Wu Shanheng rushed back to Fuyuan Town from Beitai.

Upon arriving at Qi Tongwei's office, Qi Tongwei was discussing the land acquisition plan with Baimaiti.

Upon seeing Wu Shanheng arrive, Qi Tongwei immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile, inviting him to sit down.

"Shan Heng, you're back so soon? Is the framework agreement signed?"

Wu Shanheng frowned, placed the signed agreement on the table, and said in a deep voice.

"Director Zhang is also worried that things might get complicated if we delay... Please take a look, and I'll give it to Zharta for filing..."

Qi Tongwei flipped through the agreement and nodded in satisfaction.

Seeing Wu Shanheng's solemn expression, he casually asked a question.

"Is there something else? You seem preoccupied..."

Wu Shanheng hesitated for a moment, glanced at Baimaiti, and said in a deep voice.

"Secretary Qi... Director Zhang would like to organize a gathering and introduce Zhao Xiaohui to you..."

After saying that, he quickly added another sentence.

"Director Zhang is in a difficult position... Zhao Xiaohui approached him, and he couldn't very well refuse..."

After listening, Qi Tongwei glanced at Baimaiti, and the two exchanged a look and chuckled.

"What's wrong? Forgot about the three no's principle from last night? We can't avoid it, we'll have to meet eventually..."

After saying that, he handed the agreement to Wu Shanheng and said softly.

"Have the cafeteria prepare, it's tonight, the three of us will eat together..."

Note: Don't mention Li Guangran... He's our source of information, don't expose him...

......

The banquet was arranged at the county government's small restaurant, and the standard was set at sixty yuan.

At 8 p.m., Wu Shanheng led Zhang Guozhong into the private room, followed by a beautiful woman.

Qi Tongwei glanced at the woman and understood.

This is Zhao Xiaohui, the second young lady of the Zhao family.

He quickly stood up, smiled, and went to greet Zhang Guozhong, shaking his hand.

"Brother Zhang, it's been so long since we last met..."

After exchanging greetings, everyone took their seats, and Zhang Guozhong introduced Zhao Xiaohui to the group.

After some mutual flattery, the drinking session officially began.

With the three principles set in advance, the Fuyuan trio cooperated very well.

Drinks were served freely, and New Year's greetings were exchanged casually, but no one brought up the main topic.

The men were all seasoned drinkers, and after several rounds of probing, Zhao Xiaohui was clearly struggling to keep up.

Although she was still relatively sober, her face was already flushed, clearly indicating that she was drunk.

Finally, the chaotic and brutal part arrived. Zhao Xiaohui came to Qi Tongwei's side and said softly.

"Secretary Qi, I heard that Fuyuan County is short of supplies. I've also spoken with County Chief Bai..."

I'm willing to serve the county and provide you with a batch of unplanned supplies at a 10% discount..."

Qi Tongwei clinked glasses with her and said with a smile.

"Thank you so much..."

After saying that, he looked at Baimaiti and continued speaking.

"County Chief Bai, please make a list tomorrow and ask General Manager Zhao to prepare the medicine according to the prescription... We'll pay upon delivery."

Seeing that Qi Tongwei agreed so readily, Zhao Xiaohui winked and asked with a smile.

"Secretary Qi, I've provided such excellent service... I can't be left out of the rewards, can I?"

Qi Tongwei pretended to be puzzled, frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"Mr. Zhao, regarding the goods sale...didn't you make money? Why are you saying you didn't get your share?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaohui was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter, laughing so hard she was shaking.

As the laughter subsided, she looked at Qi Tongwei and said softly.

"With supplies at a 10% discount, where is there any profit to be made... Where would I get any benefit?"

I acted as a bridge for Fuyuan, but I didn't earn a single penny; in fact, I gained a lot of connections in return..."

Qi Tongwei and Baimaiti exchanged a glance and immediately pretended to suddenly understand.

He nodded and immediately expressed his opinion to Zhao Xiaohui.

"That won't do. How can we let Mr. Zhao work for nothing... Mr. Zhao, I've made the decision..."

The prices of the supplies will be based on the planned prices; the extra 10% will be your profit...

After listening to Qi Tongwei's words, Zhao Xiaohui chuckled and said in a deep voice.

"How much supplies does Fuyuan need? One million or ten million...?"

Even if it's only one-tenth, it's only a hundred thousand or so, which I wouldn't even consider...

She glanced at Qi Tongwei, her gaze clearing slightly, and said in a cold voice.

"Since we're all smart people, I'll just be frank."

I helped Fuyuan solve their material problems, which allowed your project to progress and earned you political achievements...

I don't need much. How about I put the ten percent I save into the Fuyuan Mine?
