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

Qi Tongwei had just finished his call with Zhao Donglai when there was a knock on the door.

As the door was knocked, the sound of swallows also rang out.

"Secretary Qi, are you up yet? I've brought you breakfast."

Having just received good news from Zhao Donglai, Qi Tongwei was in high spirits. He opened the door and said with a smile.

"There's no need to send breakfast every day; I can eat at the guesthouse canteen."

Yanzi looked at Qi Tongwei's strong muscles, her face flushed slightly, and she answered sweetly.

"The small canteen is very crowded in the morning, with not only county officials but also many visitors from other places."

It's more convenient for me to bring it in to you.

Yanzi's words made some sense, so Qi Tongwei didn't refute them and sat down to eat breakfast.

Breakfast wasn't lavish; a basket of soup dumplings with congee and pickled vegetables suited Qi Tongwei's taste perfectly.

Qi Tongwei was enjoying his meal when he saw that Yanzi hadn't left, so he smiled and said...

"Just clean up after I leave; there's no need to watch me eat every day..."

Upon hearing this, Yanzi glanced at Qi Tongwei and timidly spoke.

"Secretary Qi, I'm not here to clean up; I have a favor to ask of you..."

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei swallowed the bun in his mouth and said with a smile.

"When did our Comrade Yanzi become so shy? Just say what's on your mind."

"You've been so good to me, as long as it doesn't violate my principles, I'll help you with anything..."

Upon hearing this, Yanzi blushed again and said shyly.

"Well, I'm telling you, you can't criticize me..."

Seeing Qi Tongwei nod, Yanzi gritted her teeth and spoke with a flushed face.

"I heard the county labor bureau has started a training school, and I'd like to give it a try..."

Fearing that Qi Tongwei would disagree, she immediately added another sentence.

"I graduated from high school, I can keep up..."

Qi Tongwei was aware of the training organized by the Labor Bureau; it was a vocational skills training program.

If Yanzi goes there, she'll at most learn some beauty and hairdressing skills, or cooking and pastry making.

During this period, Yanzi did indeed take very good care of Qi Tongwei.

Even Qi Tongwei's change of clothes, underwear, and so on were washed by Yanzi.

After a moment's thought, Qi Tongwei answered seriously.

"The training offered by the Labor Bureau is skills training; I don't recommend you go there..."

Seeing that Yanzi was a little disappointed, Qi Tongwei immediately smiled and said something.

"I support your studies, and I suggest you attend the correspondence course at the county party school."

Upon hearing this, Yanzi's expression darkened, and she frowned and said in a low voice.

"The Party School's correspondence courses only enroll in-service cadres and employees with formal employment status..."

I'm just a waiter/waitress, I'm not eligible for this position...

Qi Tongwei casually picked up the paper and pen on the table, and said with a smile as he wrote.

"I'll write you a note. Wanting to improve is a good thing, and you deserve special consideration..."

Yanzi's face lit up as she took Qi Tongwei's note, thinking to herself.

"I must cherish this opportunity; I can't be a waiter for the rest of my life..."

After breakfast, Qi Tongwei arrived at the county committee office in a car.

As soon as he entered the office, Qi Tongwei dialed Mao Qiang's number and gave him the instructions.

"Invite Secretary Duan and County Head Yang to have a meeting in the conference room at nine o'clock."

Oh, and let's also invite Yang Liu; the publicity work needs to keep up too..."

After hanging up the phone, Qi Tongwei called Zhao Donglai again, asking him to come to the county committee to report on the results of the battle.

On the phone, both of them seemed very excited, and Qi Tongwei even joked with Zhao Donglai.

"When you report, be sure to go slowly, and don't scare Duan Qiuming out of his wits."

At 9:00 AM sharp, the meeting was held as scheduled in the small conference room of the county party committee.

At the start of the meeting, Qi Tongwei first asked Zhao Donglai to give a brief introduction to the operation last night.

Zhao Donglai didn't mince words either. After introducing the arrest operation, he concluded in a deep voice.

Overall, the operation was very successful.

According to Secretary Qi, arresting people and clearing guns are not the main points.

The key point is that it has curbed the arrogance of these mine owners and let the people know that the county committee is taking action...

After listening to Zhao Donglai's story, Yang Dayong remained silent, but Duan Qiuming frowned and spoke up.

"Secretary Qi, you should have informed us beforehand about such a large-scale operation."

Arresting Liu Guangfa and Fang Zhengli is no problem.

"Fang Dezhong can't be arrested; he's Fang Decai's cousin, and he'll cause trouble..."

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei glanced at Duan Qiuming and asked Zhao Donglai.

"Donglai, were any guns found in Fang Dezhong's house?"

Zhao Donglai understood Qi Tongwei's meaning and immediately replied in a deep voice.

"Among them, Fang Dezhong is the worst; the other two guns are pistols."

This guy actually got his hands on a submachine gun; not only did he open it, but he also found over 50 rounds of ammunition...

Arresting him is perfectly legal and justified; there's absolutely no problem with it.

Qi Tongwei nodded, looked at Duan Qiuming, and asked in a cold voice.

"Secretary Duan, what kind of trouble will arresting Fang Dezhong cause?"

Just because he is Fang Decai's cousin, a member of a collateral branch of the Fang family?

Have you forgotten that you are a Party cadre...?

Qi Tongwei only said half of his last sentence, but it still startled Duan Qiuming.

He glanced at Qi Tongwei and quickly began to explain.

"Secretary Qi, you've misunderstood me. I was worried the Fang family might cause trouble..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qi Tongwei interrupted him.

"Are you afraid of causing trouble so you won't enforce the law?"

You're worried about the Fang family causing trouble, but have you considered whether the police officers making the arrest are afraid of gunfire?

Comrade Qiuming, a submachine gun, 50 rounds of ammunition.

If he were appointed as the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, you wouldn't be unaware of that.

If this gun were to actually fire, what kind of impact would it have on society?

Seeing Duan Qiuming's bitter face and silence, Qi Tongwei sighed and his tone became even harsher.

"When Liu Jianjun got into trouble, I thought he was deceiving his superiors and the organization."

"Now it seems you, as the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, should really reflect on your actions..."

After saying that, he glanced at Yang Liu, the fashionable propaganda minister, and continued.

"Minister Yang, the county public security bureau has achieved results, and we should do a good job in publicizing them."

Just as Director Donglai said, the people of the county need to know that the county committee is taking action...

Contact the newspapers and TV stations and produce a good press release.

Not only should we publicize this operation, but we should also encourage the people in the county to provide more clues...

The meeting was very short, ending abruptly in less than an hour.

After the meeting, Qi Tongwei also noticed some unusual circumstances.

Yang Dayong barely spoke throughout the entire process, and did not express any clear stance.

Yang Liu and Duan Qiuming seem to have some unclear relationship; their connection appears somewhat complicated.

After observing the three people's micro-expressions, Qi Tongwei quickly made a judgment.

Yang Dayong would not be an enemy of the Fang family, so he could not be sent to the front line of the political mine.

Duan Qiuming cannot be allowed to continue as deputy secretary; we must find an opportunity to remove him as soon as possible.

After the meeting, Qi Tongwei called Zhao Donglai to his office.

He gestured for Zhao Donglai to sit down, offered him a cigarette, and praised him with a smile.

"You can tell if someone is good or bad just by looking at Donglai's actions."

"That was a brilliant victory! I'll recommend you for commendation..."

Zhao Donglai took the cigarette, took a satisfying drag, and remarked.

Please stop making fun of me. I can feel this is just the beginning...

Duan Qiuming was right; the Fang family won't let this go easily.

Qi Tongwei nodded in agreement.

"You're right. I called you here alone specifically for this..."

Next, I will order the rectification of the phosphate mine, and the Fang family will likely coordinate a petition.

You need to be prepared for two things.

We need to stop people from going to the city and province, but we also need to pay attention to the security work of the county party committee...

Upon hearing this, Zhao Donglai's expression became more serious, and he continued.

"There's another very important thing: we need to find the mole within the county public security bureau..."

Otherwise, it would be difficult to carry out any action.

Just like this time with the gun sweep, the criminal investigation team was the main force, and there was clearly not enough manpower...

As the two were talking, Mao Qiang came to the door, knocked, and gently reminded them.

"Secretary Qi, Jin Yue, a reporter from the provincial newspaper, is here. She says she wants to interview you..."
