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

Upon hearing that Jin Yue had arrived, Qi Tongwei was overjoyed and immediately guessed her purpose.

He looked at Zhao Donglai and said with a smile.

I heard magpies chirping this morning; sure enough, today brings a string of good things...

You made a major breakthrough last night, and our mouthpiece has already come knocking on your door...

Having said that, he stood up and continued speaking.

"Let's go, our important reporter is waiting, we can't neglect him..."

In this era without the internet, periodicals, television, and radio were still the mainstream media.

Making good use of public opinion can not only gain the trust of the people, but also attract the attention of the higher authorities.

Qi Tongwei was well aware of the importance of public opinion, so he attached great importance to Jin Yue's visit.

The three of them went to the small conference room, where Jin Yue was holding a teacup and looking at the promotional slogans on the wall.

Qi Tongwei first met Jin Yue in the police detention room, and when they met again, he couldn't help but feel a little awkward.

Jin Yue, however, acted with remarkable generosity, displaying a rather chivalrous demeanor.

She extended a fair hand and greeted Qi Tongwei with a smile.

"Secretary Qi, it's nice to see you again. Do you remember me? I'm Jin Yue from the provincial newspaper..."

Qi Tongwei began secretly observing Jin Yue as soon as he entered the room.

Jin Yue wore skinny jeans and a neat jacket.

This outfit is simple, yet it perfectly showcases her graceful curves, leaving much to the imagination.

Qi Tongwei shook hands with her and jokingly said with a smile.

"Miss Jin Yue, the chivalrous reporter, it's hard for me not to remember you..."

After everyone was seated and exchanged a few pleasantries, Jin Yue took the lead and got straight to the point.

"Secretary Qi, the newspaper has agreed to conduct follow-up reports on the treatment of Xishui Phosphate Mine."

I would like to conduct an exclusive interview with you to learn about the county committee's specific rectification plan...

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei nodded and said with a smile.

"Welcome! I already stated my position in the detention room: I welcome media supervision."

I don't think an exclusive interview is necessary. We could sit down and chat instead...

He paused slightly, glanced at Zhao Donglai, and continued.

"Your trip wasn't in vain; the county really has some big news for you..."

This is Zhao Donglai, the deputy director of the county public security bureau.

Last night, Director Donglai seized three illegal firearms.

This marks the first serious step in the crackdown on phosphate mining...

Just as the group was chatting animatedly, Duan Qiuming returned to his office.

He was originally Fang Mingli's driver, and over the course of more than a decade, Fang Mingli promoted him to deputy secretary.

Although Duan Qiuming was not involved in the phosphate mine business, he had a very deep connection with the Fang family.

In his eyes, Fang Mingli had shown him great kindness and was like a second parent to him.

He treated Fang Zhengyao like a son or nephew, and often gave him preferential treatment.

In the early stages of mining, he even sent the county police to Fang Zhengyao's mine to provide protection.

Back in his office, Duan Qiuming didn't hesitate and immediately dialed Fang Mingli's number.

Over the phone, Duan Qiuming made no attempt to conceal anything, recounting the entire operation to disarm the enemy the previous night.

After recounting Zhao Donglai's achievements, Duan Qiuming gently reminded him.

"Former county magistrate, Qi Tongwei, is a new official, full of vigor and ambition."

You must keep a close eye on Zhengyao recently, and make sure he doesn't become the one to stick his neck out.

"Let's just hold on for a while. Once Qi Tongwei is gone, Xishui will be our territory again..."

Upon hearing this, Fang Mingli remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking.

"Qiu Ming, all these years, I haven't misjudged you."

If you have time this weekend, come over for dinner, and we can have a drink together...

After hanging up the phone, Fang Mingli sighed softly, glanced at Fang Zhengyao beside him, and asked in a deep voice.

"Do you also have a gun?"

Seeing his grandfather's serious expression, Fang Zhengyao blinked and said with an awkward smile.

"Grandpa, you know the situation at the mine; it's a complete mess."

Without some tough measures, you simply can't control people...

Seeing that Fang Zhengyao remained noncommittal, Fang Mingli guessed the general idea.

He suddenly felt a little tired, sighed, and said helplessly.

"It seems I'm really getting old and can't keep up with the times."

You young people are really too daring, you'll touch anything...

Seeing that Fang Zhengyao remained silent, Fang Mingli continued to speak.

"Forget it, children and grandchildren have their own lives, I don't want to get involved in your affairs anymore."

I'm just reminding you, make sure you wipe your butt clean.

Qi Tongwei has just taken office and is full of vigor; we should cooperate where necessary...

Upon hearing this, Fang Zhengyao frowned and muttered something under his breath.

"If production at the mine has to stop, how can we cooperate?"

"Furthermore, I'll shut down the mine and donate it directly to Qi Tongwei..."

Seeing Fang Zhengyao's reluctance, Fang Mingli shook his head and sighed deeply.

"Red flags unfurl, serfs raise their spears, daring to change the world..."

Man can fight against heaven and earth, but he cannot fight against the general trend of the times.

People should learn to go with the flow, rather than go against the current...

Jin Yue was very efficient; the press release she wrote was sent back to the provincial newspaper that same afternoon.

Her writing skills were no less than Wang Hui's; her manuscripts were of extremely high quality and were published on the front page the very next day.

Although this article is a serious political news report, Jin Yue wrote it in a very engaging way.

In her writing, Zhao Donglai became a heroic bureau chief who bravely fought against organized crime.

Qi Tongwei became a capable and resourceful secretary who tackled difficult problems with great skill.

The Handong Daily is truly the premier publication in Handong.

This newspaper is loved by ordinary people, and government employees all have a copy.

Zhao Lichun saw the report as soon as he was eating breakfast.

After reading the report, he placed the newspaper on the dining table and remarked with heartfelt emotion.

"Your sister didn't misjudge him. This Qi Tongwei is indeed a capable man."

I thought he would need some time to adjust after going to Xishui.

I didn't expect to find a breakthrough so quickly...

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ruilong glanced at his father, but didn't respond, continuing to eat his breakfast.

Seeing that Zhao Ruilong remained silent, Zhao Lichun glanced at him and continued to ask.

"I heard from your sister that you and Qi Tongwei have met?"

So, what's your impression of Qi Tongwei?

Zhao Ruilong took a sip of milk, chuckled, and mocked.

"He's just average, nothing special, just an ordinary person with two eyes and a nose."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lichun frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Ruilong, you really should learn from your second sister."

Your second sister's ability to judge people is even better than mine.

Don't underestimate Qi Tongwei; he's incredibly cunning and ruthless..."

Seeing Zhao Ruilong's nonchalant expression, Zhao Lichun's voice turned cold as he continued.

"I know what you're up to, and I'm telling you, don't try anything funny..."

Qi Tongwei's trip to Xishui to rectify the phosphate mine is a political task; you shouldn't interfere.

Liang Qunfeng and I were vying for the position of provincial party secretary, and every step was crucial.

If you dare to ruin things for me, I won't let you off the hook...

Zhao Ruilong was taken aback upon hearing this, and tentatively asked a question.

"Dad, did you decide that Qi Tongwei should go to Xishui?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lichun softened his tone slightly, did not respond, and instead offered gentle words of comfort.

"Ruilong, money is important, but position is more important than money."

Money can't necessarily buy a seat, but a seat will definitely bring you money...

Seeing that Zhao Ruilong was unusually serious, Zhao Lichun immediately continued speaking.

"Identifying and utilizing talent is a complex skill; you need to learn it well..."

Like Li Dakang, I know he's two-faced, but I'll still use him.

Because he can achieve political success and accumulate capital for me, and Qi Tongwei is the same.

It doesn't matter who he's allies with or who he's on the same page with; what matters is how he uses his connections...

If you have the chance, get to know him better; he'll be very useful in the future...
