A man in Handong: living off Zhong Xiaoai

However, Gao Yuliang's mood was not much better at this moment, because even if Qi Tongwei was not the mastermind behind this incident.

The disciplinary committee is definitely not someone to be trifled with.

Just then, there was another knock on the door.

Gao Yuliang and his secretary both turned pale instantly.

Gao Yuliang forced himself to remain calm and coughed once.

"Please come in!"

At this moment, Lü Lingling arrived at Gao Yuliang's office with several staff members from the procuratorate.

Upon seeing this, Gao Yuliang's secretary instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

When Gao Yuliang saw Lü Lingling, he asked her with a smile.

"Isn't this Comrade Lü Lingling, Director Qi's capable assistant? What can I do for you?"

"Secretary Gao, we are currently handling a few cases, and there are some details that involve you. We would like your cooperation."

"Comrade Lü Lingling, judging from your tone, I sound like a prisoner."

“Secretary Gao, if we forcibly take you away, you may become a prisoner. However, our Director Qi believes that you have only been in Jinghai for a short time and are not deeply involved, so it is not necessary to ask you to leave. Therefore, please cooperate with us on some minor issues.”

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuliang's face suddenly fell.

"Where's Qi Tongwei? Why didn't he come himself? Tell him to come see me!"

Chapter 41 I object to removing the pseudonym Qi Tongwei

Upon hearing Gao Yuliang's words, Lü Lingling's face remained expressionless.

“Secretary Gao, you were once a teacher at Handong University, and Director Qi was your student. To avoid any appearance of impropriety, it is inappropriate for Director Qi to come directly to you for questioning.”

Gao Yuliang's face was ashen. He had always thought that Qi Tongwei was from a humble background and had become accustomed to obeying his every command.

Unexpectedly, he ended up being outmaneuvered by this student.

However, what Gao Yuliang couldn't understand was how quickly Qi Tongwei had risen through the ranks.

He's almost broken the record for the fastest rise in a cadre's career; he couldn't possibly have done it on his own merits.

Isn't Chen Yanshi his backer?

If Qi Tongwei's backer wasn't Chen Yanshi, where else could he find a powerful patron given his background and experience?

If Qi Tongwei's backer is Chen Yanshi, then why didn't Chen Yanshi tell him the truth just now?

Could it be that I've been tricked by that old bastard Chen Yanshi?

On the other side of Jinghai City, inside the interrogation room of the procuratorate.

Gao Qiqiang looked at Qi Tongwei sitting opposite him with a puzzled expression.

"Director Qi, we just met last night, how come we're meeting again today in this way?"

"Gao Qiqiang, we've only met once and we're not familiar with each other. If you want to see me to catch up, I think you should forget about it!"

Gao Qiqiang looked at Qi Tongwei and sneered twice.

"Director Qi, you are really too greedy. You accepted Gao Xiaoqin and Gao Xiaofeng from me yesterday, and now you've become so ruthless. It's truly an eye-opener for me!"

“Gao Qiqiang, I don’t know what you’re talking about. As for those two fellow villagers you mentioned, they claimed they weren’t familiar with you, and only got to know me through your dinner party. I was just helping them out because I felt sorry for them.”

Upon hearing Qi Tongwei's words, Gao Qiqiang's eyes widened.

For a moment, they were speechless.

Qi Tongwei remained expressionless and continued speaking.

"As for the dinner you mentioned, I attended because of my relationship with my teacher, Secretary Yu Liang. It wasn't for you, Gao Qiqiang, and I never promised you, Gao Qiqiang, that I would do anything for you."

After he finished speaking, Qi Tongwei stood up.

He walked to the door of the interrogation room and left a cold remark.

"You'd better think carefully about how to explain your own problems!"

As Gao Qiqiang watched Qi Tongwei's departing figure, he knew that saying too much now might not bring him any benefit.

After all, from Gao Yuliang's introduction, it can be seen that Qi Tongwei has a very powerful background.

At this point, Gao Qiqiang could only suffer in silence, having lost a pair of twin sisters and ending up in this state.

A few days later, at a meeting of the leadership team of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate, Zhang Lianjun was presiding over the meeting.

"Some time ago, our procuratorate conducted an inspection of the subordinate municipal and county procuratorates. As a result, one comrade made an outstanding contribution. Comrade Qi Tongwei, the acting director of the Second Procuratorial Department, cracked down on a criminal gang during the inspection. It is said that this gang had been entrenched in Jinghai City for many years, committing all kinds of evil deeds such as arson, murder, and looting!"

Upon hearing Zhang Lianjun's words, Chen Yanshi's face turned extremely ugly.

Because he only learned about this matter after Qi Tongwei's actions.

Qi Tongwei repeatedly reported to Zhang Lianjun when he encountered problems, without ever informing himself.

Chen Yanshi felt increasingly unhappy as he thought about how he had humiliated himself in front of Gao Yuliang.

The meeting continued, and Zhang Lianjun continued speaking.

"Among them, the protector of this evil force was also uncovered, namely Zhao Lidong, the mayor of Jinghai City. Comrade Gao Yuliang, the secretary of the Municipal Political and Legal Committee, was also involved to some extent. Fortunately, his involvement was not deep, and after verification, the problem was not serious. In the end, we considered giving Comrade Gao Yuliang a disciplinary sanction of probation, hoping that he can reflect on his problems!"

As he spoke, Zhang Lianjun picked up another document from the table.

"After this incident, I immediately reported it to the leadership of the Supreme People's Procuratorate. The higher-ups attached great importance to it and urged us to handle this case properly. They also instructed us to commend Comrade Qi Tongwei as appropriate. Therefore, I propose that we remove the 'acting' from Comrade Qi Tongwei's title of acting director and appoint him as the director of the Second Procuratorial Department. What do you think?"

Upon hearing Zhang Lianjun's words, Chen Yanshi immediately became displeased.

Qi Tongwei has never taken me seriously. If he continues to rise like this, won't he eventually become my equal?

“Chief Prosecutor Zhang, I don’t think this is appropriate. Comrade Qi Tongwei is still young, and our personnel appointments follow strict procedures. Comrade Qi Tongwei was just promoted exceptionally once, and now he hasn’t met the required years of service. If we want to remove the ‘acting’ title, we’ll definitely have to go through the exceptional process again. Promoting exceptional personnel every now and then probably won’t be convincing to the public.”

Upon hearing Chen Yanshi's words, Ji Changming was the first to speak.

"I believe that the use of cadres should be based on their talents, not on strictly adhering to rules and regulations. Since Comrade Qi Tongwei came to our provincial procuratorate, he has repeatedly made outstanding contributions. His previous promotion was due to his previous achievements, which had nothing to do with his current merits. Moreover, if we restrict Comrade Qi Tongwei's growth by rigidly adhering to rules, it will not only discourage an excellent procuratorial cadre, but also discourage other ambitious and capable cadres. Therefore, I agree to remove the 'acting' designation from Comrade Qi Tongwei's title."

Ji Changming spoke so passionately, certainly not because he had a strong sense of justice.

It wasn't because he particularly liked Qi Tongwei. To put it bluntly, Ji Changming and Qi Tongwei rarely even had a chance to talk at work, let alone like each other.

Ji Changming did this because it was rumored that Zhang Lianjun was about to be transferred.

Within the procuratorate, there are two chief procurators at the bureau-level.

One is Chen Yanshi, the executive deputy inspector general, who holds real power in charge of the business.

Another one is Ji Changming, the deputy secretary and deputy chief prosecutor of this procuratorate.

Although Ji Changming is in charge of general affairs, personnel and finance are important departments in any organization.

Therefore, after Zhang Lianjun leaves, the future chief prosecutor should be chosen from either Ji Changming or Chen Yanshi.

And which of the two will be promoted will undoubtedly depend on Zhang Lianjun's final recommendation.

Zhang Lianjun was very gratified to hear that Ji Changming stood firmly on his side.

Because Ji Changming is in charge of personnel, things like promoting cadres become much easier with his support team.

“I think what Comrade Ji Changming said makes a lot of sense, and the commendation of Comrade Qi Tongwei is an instruction from the leadership of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate. We have no reason to refuse.”

As he spoke, Zhang Lianjun looked at Chen Yanshi, who was standing to the side.

"You agree, Comrade Chen Yanshi, don't you?"

Chapter 42 The provincial department still wants you to go there.

Chen Yanshi's face turned ashen; Zhang Lianjun had already made his point so clear.

What else could Chen Yanshi say?

"Chief Prosecutor Zhang, let's vote then. I always respect the opinion of the majority."

Zhang Lianjun smiled and nodded.

"That's good. Raise your hand if you agree to remove the 'courtesy' from Comrade Qi Tongwei's title!"

After he finished speaking, Zhang Lianjun was the first to raise his hand.

Then it was Ji Changming's turn, and then, except for Chen Yanshi, all the attendees raised their hands one by one.

At Chen Yang's home, Chen Yang was preparing dinner for Qi Tongwei.

"Chen Yang, how's our project going?"

Chen Yang turned to look at Qi Tongwei and said while busy working.

"Right now, it's still in the money-burning stage. Most ordinary people don't really understand our e-commerce concept, so we probably won't be able to make a profit in the short term."

Qi Tongwei nodded.

"That's because logistics across the country isn't convenient enough. You should set up two independent companies under your company, one responsible for electronic payment and the other for express delivery and logistics."

"Now we need people to keep putting money into our business, and we're trying to start new ventures?"

"That's different. E-commerce has too many restrictions with bank cards; we need more convenient payment methods. Also, if customers buy your products online but can't receive them quickly, how can they be happy?"

As Chen Yang listened to Qi Tongwei's words, he thought about them and nodded in agreement.

"I have a few candidates here. Could you train them for me while you're at it? Don't worry about the money. If Zhao Ruilong can't come up with the funds, Lei Fuhong will step in."

Why do you think that rich kid from the Gulf will keep investing in our company?

Qi Tongwei smiled.

"Because he wanted to make money in mainland China, he had no other choice."

After speaking, Qi Tongwei picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

“Gao Xiaoqin and Gao Xiaofeng are twin sisters. Gao Xiaofeng is very reliable, and Gao Xiaoqin is smart. Train them together and let them take charge of the newly established payment company.”

After speaking, Qi Tongwei paused for a moment.

"There's another one named Hao Xiuping. She has a slight speech impediment, but she's a very reliable person. Train her and let her take charge of that logistics company in the future."

Upon hearing Qi Tongwei's words, Chen Yang immediately understood what he meant.

"Good grief, I used to be the main wife, but now I'm just a number 3, and you still want to bring 4, 5, and 6 to my side? Aren't you just trying to annoy me?"

"What are you saying? I entrusted them to you because I trust you. Besides, I'm not letting them take charge of a business right now. I'm asking you to manage them and teach them slowly. Although you don't have the title of Empress, you control the family finances and those younger sisters. Isn't that more important than an empty title?"
