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

With the planting of 26 rooted trees in the poplar forest on the north side of Mingsha Mountain, this special group wedding finally came to an end.

Populus euphratica, the only large tree that can survive in the desert.

There is a saying that it can live for a thousand years without dying, stand for a thousand years after death, and remain immortal for a thousand years after falling.

These twenty-six poplar seedlings not only symbolize their love, but also represent their determination to take root in the western border region.

Although the mass wedding ceremony has ended, its aftertaste lingers and remains vibrant.

On the grasslands of Dongweizi, the herders organized horse racing and Buzkashi (goat grabbing) competitions.

Young men and women played the game of chasing girls.

On the grassland, the young man galloped away on horseback, while the girl chased after him with a whip.

Whether they were the ones doing the beating or the ones being beaten, their faces were beaming with joy.

Zhong Xiaoai has been having a blast these past few days, completely immersing herself in the unique exotic atmosphere of Bianxi.

She sang and danced around the campfire, galloped across the grasslands, contemplated life in the poplar forest, and listened to the croaking of frogs in the Singing Sand Dunes...

She never expected that this crazy time in Leishan would bring her a sweet trouble.

Zhong Xiaoai was having a great time, but Qi Tongwei had already returned to his post.

The public notice period for the bidding of the Mutai Highway project has ended, and the bidding process has officially begun.

Early in the morning, not long after Qi Tongwei arrived at the office, Li Sulin came.

He walked into the office with a bitter face, followed by Qin Feiyue, who had a fawning expression on his face.

Qi Tongwei immediately understood that Li Sulin had been kidnapped by Qin Feiyue again.

He didn't point it out, but smiled and invited the two of them to sit down.

"Mr. Qin, have you been watching the news? Thank you so much for sponsoring the mass wedding in Leishan."

"The group wedding was a great success, and Feiyue Construction also gained recognition in the city. It's a win-win situation!"

After saying that, Qi Tongwei looked at Qin Feiyue with a smile, his smile full of amusement.

Qin Feiyue took the cigarette, smiled awkwardly, and didn't respond.

He felt very frustrated, but he couldn't say it out loud, and his face turned red with pent-up frustration.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Qi Tongwei chuckled and took the initiative to start the conversation.

"You're here again because of the Mutai Highway, aren't you? Just say what you're thinking."

Qin Feiyue was taken aback, not expecting Qi Tongwei to be so direct.

He quickly sat up straight and said with a smile.

"County Chief Qi is brilliant! It's all about the bidding process... I'll cover the entire cost upfront. Do you think that's possible...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Qi Tongwei interrupted him.

"President Qin, let me be frank. Full payment upfront is a matter of principle, and there's no room for negotiation."

"I shouldn't be saying this, but Leishan organized a group wedding, so I owe you a favor..."

He paused slightly, lowered his voice a few decibels, and spoke again.

"Feiyue Construction has a significant advantage compared to the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps and other companies."

"Your strength is greater than that of private enterprises, and your costs are lower than those of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps."

"Your chances of winning the bid are very high, so don't always try to take shortcuts..."

Qin Feiyue was taken aback, frowned slightly, and seemed somewhat puzzled.

"County Chief Qi, do you mean...we can win the bid?"

Qi Tongwei smiled and nodded.

"Hey, don't wrong me, you're going to make a mistake. I just think you guys have a great chance..."

Qin Feiyue blinked, pondered for a moment, and then said with a bitter face again.

"County Chief Qi, if we cover the entire cost upfront... even if we win the bid, we'll be under immense pressure."

"All our funds are tied up in Leishan, so we can't do any other work..."

Qi Tongwei nodded, smiled at him, and asked a question instead of answering.

"Oh? One Leishan isn't enough for you?"

His voice wasn't loud, but his words were full of meaning.

After saying this, Qin Feiyue immediately understood what Qi Tongwei meant.

Qi Tongwei's move was a slap followed by a sweet treat, implying a long-term potential collaboration.

Not only Qin Feiyue understood, but Li Sulin also understood.

He looked up and stared intently at Qi Tongwei, then pursed his lips and remained silent.

Upon understanding Qi Tongwei's meaning, Qin Feiyue immediately beamed with joy and nodded repeatedly.

"Enough! Enough! Enough! Absolutely enough!"

"Rest assured, County Chief Qi, I will guarantee the quality and quantity of any project in Leishan!"

Qi Tongwei smiled and nodded, adding a sentence in his mind for him.

"We still have to pay the full amount upfront..."

Seeing that Qin Feiyue had nothing else to say, he waved his hand and said.

"Then go back and prepare for the bid, and make sure you get the price right. I have something to discuss with Director Li."

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Qin Feiyue didn't linger and got up to leave with a smile.

After Qin Feiyue left, only Qi Tongwei and Li Sulin remained in the room.

Li Sulin remained silent for a long time before asking in a deep voice.

"County Chief Qi, is this...compliant with regulations?"

Qi Tongwei frowned slightly, glanced at him, and asked a question in return.

"Legality and compliance are the bottom line. Did I give him the green light?"

Li Sulin was taken aback by the question, pondered for a moment, and then spoke with a wry smile.

"I really don't understand... It's always the same company winning the bid... Isn't that bad for the image?"

Qi Tongwei tossed him a cigarette and asked another question.

"You have to pay the full amount upfront each time, with a three-year payback period... Do you think this kind of project is easy to run?"

Li Sulin's hand, which was lighting a cigarette, suddenly paused, and he instantly realized what was going on.

He gave Qi Tongwei a deep look and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Qi Tongwei is ruthless!"

He's raising a donkey, a donkey for Leishan that works first and then eats grass.

If his design is followed, it's questionable whether the donkey will even get to eat the last bite of grass.

If this model is followed, the dominant position of government and business will be completely changed.

Seeing that Li Shulin didn't speak, Qi Tongwei waved to him.

"He's gone too. Go home and figure it out..."

Seeing that Qi Tongwei had given him the order to leave, Li Sulin blinked and got up to leave.

On the way back, he couldn't figure out when Qi Tongwei had started this scheme.

He couldn't understand how Qi Tongwei could be so calculating...

If he had watched a comedy film from later generations, he would have understood.

There's a classic line in that movie: "Corrupt officials need to be cunning, but honest officials need to be even more cunning..."

Time flies, and more than twenty days have passed in the blink of an eye. Zhong Xiaoai is finally going back to the capital.

Although she was very reluctant to leave Leishan and Qi Tongwei, there was nothing she could do.

It's really unacceptable for a family like her to not go home for an entire summer vacation.

At the moment of parting, the two staged another melodramatic scene on the platform, reluctant to part.

After seeing Zhong Xiaoai off, Qi Tongwei's life returned to normal.

Almost every day consists of three things: going to work, getting off work, and socializing, over and over again.

July 26th arrived, and the college entrance examination results were released.

Early in the morning, Qi Tongwei received a call from Baimaiti with good news.

On the phone, Baimaiti's voice trembled, but every word was filled with joy.

"Tongwei! Your nephew got in! 630, Renmin University Law School, he's got it!"

He paused slightly, calmed himself down, and said in a deep voice.

Qi Tongwei was happy for the child upon hearing the good news and immediately offered his congratulations with a smile.

"Congratulations! Passing the imperial examination is one of the four great joys in life."

After saying that, he raised his voice a few decibels and teased with a smile.

"When are you going to hold your graduation celebration? I really need to get a drink of 'champion's toast'!"

On the other end of the phone, Baimaiti was overjoyed and readily agreed.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Baimaiti suddenly changed the subject and lowered his voice.

"Tongwei, the higher-ups are coming down to inspect...you should be prepared."

Qi Tongwei was taken aback, his heart tightened, and he replied in a deep voice.

"Okay, I'll hang up now if there's nothing else..."

After hanging up the phone, Qi Tongwei's hands trembled slightly.

The words "superior inspection" kept repeating in his ears...
