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

On the other end of the phone, Wang Quanyou's laughter was hearty, leaving Qi Tongwei somewhat bewildered.

The laughter stopped, and Wang Quanyou's voice rang out again, full of inquiry.

"You little punk, you're the one who discovered those remnants?"

"Tell me, how did you discover they had a problem?"

Qi Tongwei was taken aback, but immediately understood.

When Qin Xuefeng reported, he did not take credit for himself, but also mentioned that he had discovered suspicious individuals.

Qi Tongwei dared not hide anything and told Wang Quanyou the whole story.

Finally, he added one more sentence.

"This was purely a coincidence. I was promoting the creation of a personal file and establishing poverty alleviation records."

"Originally, I just wanted to set an example and also get a feel for the situation."

"I never expected to run into something like this by accident."

Wang Quanyou keenly grasped the key words.

He hesitated for a moment, then asked in return, "One file per person? A poverty alleviation ledger?"

Qi Tongwei, who was just worried about not having a chance to bring this up, quickly chimed in to explain.

"Yes, we'll create files for impoverished households, recording their family circumstances and the reasons for their poverty..."

After listening to Qi Tongwei's detailed introduction, Wang Quanyou nodded and praised him.

"This idea is excellent and deserves to be widely promoted..."

"Tongwei, I wasn't wrong about you. Your overall perspective and innovative spirit are excellent..."

After saying that, Wang Quanyou changed the subject, his voice carrying a hint of apology.

"Tongwei, I'm afraid you'll have to go through this."

Qi Tongwei was taken aback, not understanding what was going on, and asked in a low voice.

"Secretary, I... I don't understand what you mean."

Wang Quanyou sighed and then said with a smile.

"Whether it's arresting suspicious individuals or promoting the 'one person, one file' system, it's worthy of an award."

"However, you've been in the limelight lately. First-class merit, second-class merit... you've had too many accolades."

"I've thought about it, so let's skip the award... I'll just give you a verbal compliment."

Qi Tongwei immediately understood that there must be dissenting voices within the municipal party committee leadership.

As for who made the different voices, he could figure it out with his toes: Cheng Shizhong.

He knew in his heart that Cheng Shizhong wasn't targeting him personally; he simply wasn't qualified.

Cheng Shizhong was competing with Wang Quanyou, vying for control of the city's discourse.

Having figured this out, Qi Tongwei smiled, a genuine smile.

"Secretary, I don't do my work for the sake of rewards at all."

"I'm just afraid of embarrassing you, so I want to do something practical and down-to-earth down here..."

After hearing this, Wang Quanyou laughed and cursed.

"You little rascal, you're getting better and better at flattery... Who taught you that? Qin Xuefeng?"

After saying that, he paused slightly and continued without waiting for Qi Tongwei's reply.

"No reward, but I won't let you work for nothing."

"Okay, tell me what your requests or difficulties are, and I'll pull some strings for you."

Qi Tongwei's heart tightened, and he gripped the microphone even tighter.

His mind raced as he considered the options. Wang Quanyou spoke up, saying he could solve many problems.

For example, with road construction loans, as long as Wang Quanyou makes a call, the result can be obtained within three days.

After a long silence, Qi Tongwei ultimately did not make any demands.

"Secretary, good steel should be used where it's needed most. I'll have to keep this back door of yours safe..."

On the other end of the phone, Wang Quanyou was somewhat surprised; he had expected Qi Tongwei to bring up the loan.

He had even planned to have Baimaiti put in a good word with the Construction Bank and get them to give him the green light.

But he never expected that Qi Tongwei would keep this "back door" hidden.

A meaningful smile appeared on his lips as he slowly began to speak.

"You little rascal, are you planning something big...?"

Qi Tongwei didn't respond, but chuckled twice and changed the subject.

"Secretary, you just called. Do you think the 'one person, one file' system is worth promoting?"

Wang Quanyou immediately replied, "I just said that it's worth promoting throughout the entire western region."

Seeing that Wang Quanyou still didn't understand his meaning, Qi Tongwei simply made his point clear.

"This is not poverty alleviation work. If we change the scope of 'one person, one file' to a key group of people to focus on."

"What do you think about assigning responsibility to neighborhood committees and village committees in various cities and prefectures?"

After a long silence on the other end of the phone, Wang Quanyou's voice finally came through.

"This is a good idea; let's establish archives at the very grassroots level."

"Establish a comprehensive social management grid system in neighborhood committees and village committees... and assign supervisory responsibilities to specific individuals."

"You were inspired by this discovery of the criminals, weren't you? That's a great idea!"

Qi Tongwei chuckled and made a joke to Wang Quanyou.

"Secretary, you are absolutely right! That's exactly what I meant!"

In fact, this is grid management, the most common grassroots governance method in later generations.

However, Qi Tongwei brought this management approach forward by almost 20 years.

The most basic governance methods used in later generations were sufficient to address the comprehensive social order issues in Bianxi in 91.

Seeing that Wang Quanyou had accepted his idea, Qi Tongwei started joking again.

"Secretary, you said I wanted to ask you for a favor without giving a gift... are you satisfied with this gift?"

On the phone, Wang Quanyou laughed and cursed again.

"You little rascal, you've been waiting for me here... I'll accept this gift."

The laughter stopped, and Wang Quanyou's voice became more serious.

"Tongwei, have you made up your mind? Are you coming back, or will you continue training down there?"

Qi Tongwei answered without hesitation, quickly and earnestly:

"Secretary, I want to see this through to the end. At the very least, leave a road for Leishan County."

"I want the people to know that I'm not here to gain prestige."

Wang Quanyou nodded to himself, his voice carrying a hint of approval:

"Good! You finished what you started, well said. Remember, there will always be a place for you here."

The two chatted for a long time.

During this period, Qi Tongwei tried several times to probe and ask about the arrangements after Wang Quanyou was promoted to the Standing Committee.

But he swallowed the words back down his throat.

Wang Quanyou can speak, but he cannot ask; that's the rule.

After hanging up the phone, Qi Tongwei was in a great mood.

He knew in his heart that with this variant of "one person, one file"...

Wang Quanyou's position is secure, and so is his.

The comprehensive social management grid system is so stable that it's enough for Wang Quanyou to remain a member of the provincial standing committee.

Thinking of this, he lit a cigarette and dialed Zhong Xiaoai's number.

The call connected, and the dormitory supervisor's familiar loud voice rang out again.

Soon after, hurried footsteps sounded, followed by Zhong Xiaoai's voice, slightly out of breath.

"Feed? Is that you, senior brother?"

Despite being more than 3000 kilometers apart, the two chatted sweetly on the phone for a long time.

Qi Tongwei was alone in his office, and he dared to say anything, no matter how crude or inappropriate.

"I've saved them all up for you... I think about you so much I'm practically standing at attention..."

Each sentence was more outrageous than the last, making Zhong Xiaoai blush and dare not respond.

After they'd had their fill of sweet nothings, Zhong Xiaoai suddenly dropped a bombshell with news.

"Senior, you don't know yet, do you? Professor Gao has been transferred to the city; he's the vice mayor..."

Qi Tongwei was taken aback, secretly surprised.

He knew that Liang Qunfeng would promote Gao Yuliang, and he wasn't surprised.

To his surprise, Gao Yuliang was promoted in 1992, not this year.

Because of his rebirth, Gao Yuliang's appointment as deputy mayor of Jingzhou was brought forward by a full year.

This means that his rebirth has indeed changed the growth trajectory of those around him.

The flapping of his wings has already triggered a chain reaction in the political arena of Handong.

Gao Yuliang's early transfer to Jingzhou signifies that Liang Qunfeng's political maneuvering is accelerating.

He was laying the groundwork for personnel arrangements before his retirement...

As Qi Tongwei was thinking, Zhong Xiaoai's voice rang out again.

"Senior brother...summer vacation is coming soon. I'll come visit you then..."
