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

After hanging up the phone, Qi Tongwei remained restless and absent-minded in everything he did.

The news that his superiors were coming down for an inspection kept lingering in his mind, refusing to leave.

He lit a cigarette, but the nicotine didn't calm him down; instead, it gave him goosebumps.

Qi Tongwei leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and fell into deep thought.

As he smoked, he went over Wang Quanyou's recent activities.

Frequent high-profile media appearances and forceful promotion of grid-based governance...

Qi Tongwei initially thought Wang Quanyou was being too high-profile, but now that the news has come out...

He couldn't help but sigh to himself that compared to Wang Quanyou, he was still too immature.

He always thought that he was helping Wang Quanyou rise to power.

But he never expected that Wang Quanyou had played such a big game.

Unexpectedly, his so-called act of carrying the sedan chair was nothing more than catching a ride on Wang Quanyou's fast track.

After finishing his cigarette, he stubbed it out and lit another one with a wry smile.

There was a sudden knock on the office door, and Gao Changjiang walked in.

He held a winning bid document in his hand and said softly.

"County Chief Qi, the bidding results for the Leitai Highway are in... Feiyue Construction won the bid."

Qi Tongwei was already annoyed, so he waved his hand impatiently and replied casually.

"Understood. Tell them to get to work as soon as possible..."

Gao Changjiang paused slightly, placed the document in front of Qi Tongwei, and spoke softly.

"County Chief Qi, please sign this... otherwise no one will dare let him in..."

Qi Tongwei sighed, casually signed the document, and waved for him to leave.

Seeing that he seemed preoccupied, Gao Changjiang picked up the documents and turned to leave.

Listening to Gao Changjiang's footsteps, Qi Tongwei felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Suddenly, he remembered what Gao Changjiang had just said and dared not let him in...

Yeah, how could Baimaiti dare!?

How could Baimaiti dare to reveal such important information to himself?

Because of personal relationships? Qi Tongwei didn't believe it!

The most righteous are often the lowly butchers, while the most ungrateful are often the scholars.

Baimaiti is no ordinary butcher; he's been working in government offices for half his life as the director of the municipal party committee office.

There's only one reason why he would dare to leak the information to me!

Thinking of this, Qi Tongwei's breathing became rapid, and a faint sense of anticipation arose in his heart.

He quickly grabbed the phone on the table and dialed Gao Changjiang's landline.

As soon as the call connected, Qi Tongwei immediately began assigning tasks.

"Director Gao, please have Li Sulin and Qin Feiyue come over. I have something to discuss with them."

......

An hour later, Li Sulin and Qin Feiyue appeared together in Qi Tongwei's office.

Qi Tongwei offered the two men cigarettes and got straight to the point.

"I've called you two here for one thing: the progress of the Leitai Highway project must be accelerated."

"It must be open to traffic by the end of August! If we can't rush it for one day, we'll rush it for half a day!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Feiyue and Li Sulin exchanged a glance and were both stunned.

Qin Feiyue was the first to come to his senses, shaking his head with a wry smile.

"My dear County Magistrate Qi, this can't be happening..."

"At most, we can only pave 2 kilometers a day, so it would take 25 days to pave one section..."

Qi Tongwei stared intently at his face with a serious expression and said in a deep voice.

"Qin Feiyue, I'm not discussing this with you. This is an order, and it must be carried out."

"If you can't do it, I'll cancel the bid right now and contact the Sixth Division of the Corps..."

After speaking, he paused slightly, softened his tone, and continued.

"I don't have time to argue with you. Remember, the Leitai Highway is a political mission."

"If you encounter any difficulties, you can let me know, and I will help you solve them, but the construction period must be guaranteed."

Seeing that Qi Tongwei was truly angry, Li Sulin immediately tried to smooth things over.

"County Chief Qi, please don't worry... Leitai Highway is only about 50 kilometers long."

"Completing the installation in just thirty days is indeed challenging... and controlling the quality is also difficult..."

Qi Tongwei didn't respond, but glanced at Li Sulin and said in a deep voice.

"He doesn't understand, and neither do you? What is a political task? Can you negotiate a political task?"

Li Sulin shrank back, too intimidated by his words to utter another sound.

Qi Tongwei pondered for a moment, sighed, and looked at Qin Feiyue again.

"I understand that there are indeed difficulties. Here's what I'll do: I'll coordinate with the Sixth Division of the Production and Construction Corps for you..."

"You two can work together on the construction, and you can discuss the specific costs. How about that?"

Qin Feiyue was taken aback, secretly glanced at Qi Tongwei, and replied softly.

"I don't need more people... but I do need more money..."

Qi Tongwei frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice.

"What do you want? Just say it..."

Qin Feiyue licked his lips and tentatively asked.

"Full payment upfront... Could you please be a little more lenient?"

Qi Tongwei snorted coldly and raised his hand to interrupt him.

"I'll cover half of the funding issue for you, and the remaining amount will be settled in three years."

"Don't try to bargain. If you don't agree, I'll cancel the bid and contact the Sixth Division of the Corps."

He paused slightly, looked at Qin Feiyue, and his eyes held a hint of coldness.

"Think it through. If the bid is rejected, then everything we discussed before will be considered as if we never said it."

His voice wasn't loud, but it sent chills down Qin Feiyue's spine.

Qin Feiyue took a few deep drags on his cigarette, gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice.

"Sure! I'll bring in two more teams, three shifts a day, working from both ends..."

"We'll keep going without rest, and we guarantee it will be finished by the end of the month..."

After a moment's thought, Qi Tongwei began to help Qin Feiyue calculate the accounts.

"One team covers 2 kilometers, two teams cover 2 kilometers, and three shifts cover 6 kilometers..."

"10 days! Leave some leeway, aim for 15, strive for 10!"

Qin Feiyue was stunned, stared at Qi Tongwei for a long time, and then exclaimed in surprise.

"County Magistrate Qi, that's not how it's calculated! How can you calculate it like that... This work is simply endless!"

Qi Tongwei ignored him completely, stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice.

"Boss Qin, I'll just say one thing. If you do this job well, you won't lose out."

"Alright, you two go back and get to work on it quickly, finish ahead of schedule, and I'll celebrate with you!"

Qin Feiyue wanted to argue with Qi Tongwei, but Li Sulin forcibly pulled him out of the office.

As they left the office, Li Sulin lit a cigarette for Qin Feiyue and said softly.

"I didn't realize you were having problems... If you handle this well, it could be an opportunity for you..."

Qin Feiyue took a deep drag of his cigarette, blinked, and said nothing.

After arranging the Leitai Highway project, Qi Tongwei didn't dare to waste a single minute.

He immediately called Gao Changjiang and asked him to visit the farmers with him.

In less than half a day, Qi Tongwei visited more than a dozen large-scale livestock farmers, led by Yunus.

He spoke very directly with the farmers, asking them directly if they had any plans to expand production.

Qi Tongwei even explicitly stated that the county would fully support any plans to expand production.

In addition, he specially approved a sum of money for Wu Shanheng to renovate the tent school.

Except for the old teachers, everything else—the tents, desks and chairs, and school supplies—has been replaced with new ones.

That's not all; Qi Tongwei also set aside an office specifically to store the comprehensive social management grid files.

He instructed Gao Changjiang to take the lead in copying all the files, ensuring that the handwriting was neat and legible.

After arranging these tasks, Qi Tongwei even pulled Liu Yuntian aside to conduct a thorough investigation and treatment.

At his request, Leishan County launched a month-long crackdown on crime.

Qi Tongwei is capable; all the officials in Leishan County know this.

But lately he's been making too many moves, so many that it's hard to understand, and some people are even starting to criticize him.

Rumors even circulated that Qi Tongwei was leaving because he was somewhat twisted in his mind...

Finally, the answer has been revealed.

On July 30, Ben Thanh province issued an official document.

The document explicitly requires all regions to launch special campaigns to crack down on crime and maintain public order.

Qin Xuefeng immediately responded to the document's requirements and convened a special meeting.

After the meeting ended, Qin Xuefeng patted Qi Tongwei on the shoulder and said in a deep voice.

"Well done, the higher-ups might be coming to inspect... You've done a good job ahead of time, not bad."

Although Qi Tongwei was prepared, his heart still pounded wildly after hearing the definite news.

His breathing became heavy, and he subconsciously lowered his voice to ask a question.

"Has the schedule been set? Does the county have any inspection tasks?"

Qin Xuefeng gave him another deep look and gently shook his head.

"No specific time was given, nor were the inspection tasks clearly defined; they only said to be prepared..."

After saying that, Qin Xuefeng paused slightly, and his tone became a bit more serious.

"Keep this confidential! The district has only notified a few relevant areas..."

Qi Tongwei didn't respond, but nodded emphatically.
