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

In April, the mornings in Bianxi City were quite chilly, and the streets were covered with fallen sycamore leaves.

Today is the fourth day that Yu Zhao has been waiting for news at the city's Construction Bank.

He has already become familiar with the bank's staff.

The security guard confiscated his Hongshan cigarettes, and the loan department staff drank the hot water he served...

Inside the city's Construction Bank, more and more people learned the whole story and began to discuss it.

A grassroots cadre was trying to secure a loan for road construction in the county, but was still harassed by the bank.

Some people have already started to feel sorry for Yu Zhao, thinking that Chen Yanfei went too far...

People who had been in contact with him stopped making things difficult for him, and some even secretly gave him special treatment.

While Yu Zhao mingled with everyone, Chen Yanfei felt even more uncomfortable.

As the head of the group, he inevitably had to welcome and see off guests, receiving people almost every day.

This morning, he received a client who was a close associate, a major customer of the bank.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Chen Yanfei was about to pour water when he discovered that the thermos was empty.

He immediately shouted something towards the door.

"Xiao Zhang, bring me a kettle of hot water!"

After shouting, he continued chatting with the customer while waiting for Xiao Zhang to bring hot water.

Less than two minutes later, there was a knock on the office door, and Yu Zhao walked in carrying a thermos.

With a smile on his face, he bent down to serve tea to the two of them and casually replied.

"Section Chief Zhang is out. Please call me if you need anything..."

After saying that, he put the thermos on the coffee table, turned around and left without saying a word.

As Yu Zhao left the office, he was very polite and gently closed the door behind him.

As the door closed, the person with connections couldn't help but offer a word of praise.

"President Chen, this young man is really capable and has a good eye. You have a great eye for people!"

Chen Yanfei grinned and chuckled dryly, unsure how to respond.

What could he say? That this person wasn't one of his soldiers, but someone who was blocking his doorway?

Chen Yanfei felt a little embarrassed and picked up his teacup to take a sip.

He really couldn't take it anymore.

He couldn't understand why Yu Zhao was so stubborn, and he couldn't understand what Yu Zhao was after.

With only a hundred or so yuan a month, why risk your life?

Chen Yanfei couldn't hold on any longer, and Yu Zhao wasn't much better off; he was also nearing his limit.

Yu Zhao has been squatting at the China Construction Bank for four days and has eaten eight meals of instant noodles!

At first, he thought it tasted good, but now, he feels nauseous at the smell of seasoning.

But he knew he couldn't leave!

For every extra hour he squats, the road in Leishan County can be extended by one meter.

He was gritting his teeth and enduring it.

He even thought that it wouldn't matter if he couldn't finish the instant noodles; he could just soak them and let them air out.

By the fifth night, Chen Yanfei really couldn't take it anymore.

The gossip in the industry was growing, and some of the whispers had already reached his ears.

The clients I visit are also affected; everyone who comes in asks me a question.

"Who's squatting by the door? What are they doing here?"

Even his favorite meals were affected.

I no longer dare to ask clients to dinner, let alone give them gifts.

Yu Zhaocheng was like a stubborn plaster, impossible to peel off or break apart...

After pondering for a long time, Chen Yanfei finally decided to confront Yu Zhao.

As it was nearing the end of the workday, he called Yu Zhao to his office and got straight to the point.

"How long are you planning to stay here?"

Yu Zhao's attitude remained excellent, and he answered very seriously.

He counted on his fingers carefully for Chen Yanfei.

"The guesthouse costs 7 yuan a day, but the county approved 1,000 yuan for me..."

"I'll add one more piece myself, and I can stay for 143 days."

Chen Yanfei was completely dumbfounded. He stared at Yu Zhao for a long time without saying a word.

Looking at Yu Zhao's serious expression, Chen Yanfei suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

He suddenly realized that Yu Zhao wasn't joking with him; he was really prepared to be in jail for over a hundred days!

After a long silence, Chen Yanfei sighed and said with a wry smile.

"You've had a tough time, go back now. I'll talk to your bureau chief..."

Yu Zhao was very obedient and immediately stood up, replying with a smile.

"Okay, President Chen. See you tomorrow!"

Chen Yanfei was taken aback again.

What do you mean by "see you tomorrow"? Do you think I'm some kind of treasure?!

He was about to curse when Yu Zhao had already left, not even forgetting to close the door.

Chen Yanfei felt a lump in his throat, which made his chest ache.

He wanted to smash the cup, but after raising it, he slowly put it down again.

This cup was his prize for being an outstanding worker on May Day, and he was a little reluctant to part with it.

Chen Yanfei sighed again, picked up the phone, and dialed Zhao Haiyan's number.

As soon as the call connected, Chen Yanfei spoke, his voice as hard as a rock.

"Director Zhao, could you please come to the city sometime? Let's discuss the loan details."

After he finished speaking, he paused, his voice becoming very helpless.

"I'm begging you, please have your people leave! If they don't leave, they'll become my part-time secretary!"

The call was very short; it ended after only a few words.

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Haiyan could no longer suppress his joy, and a smile spread across his face.

Without the slightest hesitation, she immediately dialed Qi Tongwei's office number.

To her disappointment, the phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.

Qi Tongwei was not in his office; he was at the construction site of the Mutai Highway with Li Sulin.

Construction on the highway in Leishan has begun, and technicians are currently conducting basic surveys and design work.

Qi Tongwei did not wait for the loan from China Construction Bank to arrive; he couldn't afford to wait.

He had thought it through very clearly.

If we have the money, this road will be built;

Even if he had no money, he would still repair this road, even if it meant doing all the unpaid labor and going to the Production and Construction Corps to pay respects to them.

In addition, he was very certain that the Construction Bank would grant the loan.

As for how much to release and when to release it, it's just a matter of timing and how much profit to extract.

Speaking of the Production and Construction Corps, he initially thought of asking them for help in repairing roads.

He was 90% certain the army would agree, but in the end he gave up.

While the Corps' road construction project allowed him to quickly achieve his political goals, it resulted in Leishan losing a source of income.

According to current policies, tolls cannot be charged on roads constructed by the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps!

......

By the time I got back to the county party committee office, it was almost dark.

As soon as Qi Tongwei entered the office, Zhao Haiyan stood up from the sofa in the outer room.

When she saw Qi Tongwei return, she smiled and her eyes shone.

"County Chief Qi, you're finally back! We have news from the Construction Bank!"

Qi Tongwei nodded to her, pushed open the door to the inner room, and grumbled a complaint.

"How long have you been waiting? Why don't you come inside and wait... Come in quickly, have a glass of water before we talk."

Zhao Haiyan followed him into the office, and without even sitting down, immediately began to give a report.

"We have results from Chen Yanfei's side. He wants me to go to the city to discuss the loan details..."

"Yu Zhao didn't waste his time in the city; he's putting in the work..."

Qi Tongwei remained indifferent after hearing this.

He knew perfectly well that the clashes of the past few days were merely both sides displaying their skills and testing each other's limits.

The meeting with Chen Yanfei was the main event.

He poured Zhao Haiyan a cup of tea and said slowly:

"A good omen. Okay, prepare the materials, and I'll go with you tomorrow."

"Let's go and meet this Bank Manager Chen!"

Zhao Haiyan took the teacup, smiled and nodded, but didn't say anything.

Qi Tongwei looked at Zhao Haiyan's smiling face and couldn't help but curl his lips slightly.

He couldn't help but think to himself, "The cadres of this era are truly wonderful; they have the people in their hearts!"
