Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 642 Secretary Song

But Zhao Lichun wanted to snipe Qi Tongwei in advance, fearing that Qi Tongwei would pose a greater threat to him after he took the position of department director, so he asked someone to spread such rumors. However, any discerning person could tell that this was a far-fetched rumor, but the common people liked such stories of Zhao Laoer killing Zhao Laoda in candlelight and axe shadow to take the position.

This led to the rumor becoming widely spread among the people, and even people in the nearby Jiangzhou City had heard of it.

"What does that have to do with us? The new director is a deputy ministerial-level official, a high-ranking deputy mayor, and we are just small police officers.

Maybe in the next few years when he becomes the director, he will come to investigate us, shake our hands and say some encouragement.

You will never see such a person in your life at any other time."

Sister Zhi took out some melon seeds and peanuts, and the two of them chatted while eating them. Of course, what she said was just self-deprecating, as her job as a broker brought her a lot of convenience.

“It’s still related.

I have done some research and found out that the new director started out in Dong'ou City, where he was a branch director and worked his way up to become district mayor.

And our new branch director is from Dongou City. There is some overlap in their resumes, so they must have a good relationship. "

Xiaoqiu nodded repeatedly after hearing this, spitting out the melon seed shells and pouring water for the two of them. They thought it was a bit salty after eating too much.

"Sister, continue."

"Originally, our branch was headed by Zhang's mentor, Wang Zheng. You still remember that Wang Zheng was our director before."

"Yeah, I remember. I had just arrived at that time and he had just been transferred. I heard that Wang Zheng was quite powerful and his brother was a leader in the municipal government."

Sister Zhi laughed when she heard it.

"Hehe, Xiaoqiu knows that Wang Zheng's brother is the director of the Construction Committee, Wang Qin.

In the past two years, it has been said that Wang Qin's boss, Deputy Mayor Zhang, would also be promoted to become mayor. However, Secretary Zhao did not consider Deputy Mayor Zhang at all and transferred a mayor from another province.

They are a connected whole. If they prosper together, they all prosper; if they suffer together, they all suffer.

The deputy mayor didn’t get promoted, and Director Wang of the Construction Committee couldn’t get promoted to deputy mayor, Political Commissar Wang couldn’t get promoted to branch director, and even our deputy director Zhang couldn’t get promoted to director.”

...........

The Deputy Mayor Zhang mentioned by the two grassroots policemen was currently talking to two of his subordinates, one of whom was his secretary, and the other was the Director of the Construction Committee, Wang Qin.

"Xiao Song, you need to hurry up and ask President Xie how much the bank can give you."

While giving instructions to his secretary Song Siming, Deputy Mayor Zhang turned around and spoke to his right-hand man Wang Qin.

“You can’t come in person for the park project. Find two low-level officials and let them run it. We should still use our old method and use the park as a project for demolition.

Afterwards, the floor area ratio and approval were changed to build residential buildings.

Let Jiang Miaomiao take part in the bidding. We can lower the project's plot ratio, make the park larger, and present it as a public welfare project. That way, there won't be any particularly strong companies competing.

After the demolition is completed, Lao Wang will take charge. Xiao Song, you will be responsible for communicating the details with Jiang Miaomiao and make an appointment with him as soon as possible."

Wang Qin was a little absent-minded and didn't even give a direct answer.

“Boss, we have to keep going this time, I think the wind direction in the city is unclear right now.

Secretary Zhao's attitude is unclear, what if he asks about it?"

Wang Qin actually had some thoughts of his own. He was still young, only forty-five or forty-six years old. Even if he waited a few more years, it would still be in time for him to be promoted to the vice-ministerial level. This time, he was blocked by the Municipal Party Committee for the vice-provincial level. He also used a lot of connections, but the news he received made him not very optimistic. Secretary Zhao hinted that he did not like Deputy Mayor Zhang.

As for him, the eldest brother, he is 58 years old. He did not become the mayor in this term. Unless he manages things properly and becomes the governor of another province, he can extend his political life. Otherwise, he will definitely retire to the CPPCC in two years.

For these two people, they are unwilling to leave the glamorous world of Jiangzhou and go to other cities. They have no roots in other cities, and their economic foundation is not as good as that of Jiangzhou.

Who knows if he can hold on to power after he goes there? At least Wang Qin is thinking of lying low for a while, but Deputy Mayor Zhang is getting more and more anxious.

The interests of the two are no longer aligned, which leads to them being somewhat estranged and having different dreams.

"Wang Qin, what are you thinking? Do you think you can switch to someone else?

Think about this idea yourself, isn’t it ridiculous?

Or will Zhao Mengsheng, the second generation, be generous enough to accept you?

Does he need a capable cadre like you?

Look at how many people he has transferred from Jiangdong Province in recent years.

Secretary of Pujiang District, Secretary of Songhu District, Secretary General of Municipal Party Committee, and Minister of Organization.

Now the senior cadres of the municipal party committee are all from Jiangdong. What do you have?"

Deputy Mayor Zhang looked at Wang Qin with a mocking expression. Wang Qin was somewhat awakened at this moment. Yes, over the past two or three decades, they had already become grasshoppers in the same boat.

Captain Zhang, the deputy mayor, had his boat capsized. These people were just a bunch of grasshoppers in autumn and could not jump for more than a few days.

At this time, the secretary Xiao Song interrupted. He was a deputy-department-level secretary who also served as the deputy director of the Municipal Government Office. Although he was a secretary, he had long been qualified to sit on the chair.

"Director Wang, now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to continue this work. After all, Jiangzhou is still our old territory where we have been operating for a long time, and so many people rely on us for their livelihood.

Director Zhang from the Land and Resources Bureau happened to be with us this evening, so we old brothers got together for a good time.

I heard that my nephew is doing business in America. I happen to have a few old friends here who have local resources. Maybe we can cooperate together.”

This sentence is both an inducement and a threat. On the other side of the ocean, communication is not as civilized as it is at home. You either cooperate or see a Chinese being shot on the news.

Secretary Song was indeed Deputy Mayor Zhang's confidant for many years and his best mouth. With just a few words, he calmed down his hesitant subordinate. Wang Qin took a deep look at the handsome Secretary Song, said hello, stood up and left.

Deputy Mayor Zhang looked at Wang Qin who was leaving and shook his head.

"It's hard to lead the team when people's morale is low. Xiao Song, I can trust you to do things the way you want.

Secretary Zhao is so powerful. If I can't provoke you, can I just hide from you?

I plan to talk to my superiors and try my best to serve as governor of an economically backward province.

It's a pity that now there are regulations that prohibit bringing secretaries across provinces, otherwise you would be the best choice to follow me."

Secretary Song also didn't want to leave the glamorous world of Jiangzhou. He had been here for twenty years, and the connections and relationships he had built up were enough for him to earn enough money to last a lifetime.
