Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 367 Being attacked?

"Yes, Secretary, I understand."

After finishing the business, the two chatted about some things in the district, and Qi Tongwei let Liao Haiyang leave. Before leaving, Liao Haiyang let out a long breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead. This young leader in his twenties did not look like a man in his twenties at all. Instead, he looked like a senior bureaucrat who had experienced decades of officialdom. A word, a gesture, a look, seemed to see through people's hearts and put tremendous pressure on his subordinates. He was not like some leaders who had no skills and ability and relied on hard work, but the confidence that came from being in a high position for a long time and knowing everything.

As soon as this was over, Liao Haiyang hurried to the city to ask his old leader for advice on the next steps.

"Old leader, Secretary Qi took the initiative to let me lead such a big project. I am a little uneasy."

The old leader wore reading glasses, looked at the magazine in his hands, and took a sip of tea from time to time.

"Why are you so nervous? Even if the enemy is a weak army, all you can do is to move forward bravely. You will die anyway.

If someone gives you an opportunity, you can't be timid. Many people beg for an opportunity but can't get one."

"Yes, that's what the old leader said. I'm just afraid that I won't do it well."

After hearing this, the old leader slammed the magazine on the table.

"How come you keep going backwards as you live? When a person dies, his eggs turn upside down, and he will live forever.

Once this park is built, when people go there to play in the future, you can point to it with pride and say, "This is my achievement, and I have done something for the people."

Take this magazine and have a look. It should contain something that your Secretary Qi might be interested in.”

Liao Haiyang was a little confused. He took the newspaper and took a look. It turned out to be a magazine from Hong Kong. The old leader's approach was really wild.

"This! Who wrote this?!"

After reading the article on the first page, Liao Haiyang stood up immediately. The author column below actually said "a minor official in Jiangbei New District", and the content also stated that he was from the District Government Office.

What is even more shocking is the content. The whole article is a satire on Dongou City's reform and opening-up policy, saying that the country will never catch up with America in its lifetime. Then there are reflections of this and that, and it even specifically satirizes Dongou City for appointing two kids in their twenties as district leaders and doing a mess of things.

In a word, he is extremely reactionary. The author's identity also gave other overseas media an opportunity to hype up the story. Several of the following articles mocked the country's slow start and maintained a pessimistic attitude towards future development.

There were even a few articles that directly said that the country had abandoned its original policies and would soon disintegrate.

The old leader said at this time.

"This thing may be your true token of loyalty, you must make good use of it.

As for what is written in it, anyone who believes it is a fool. The Western media has never stopped slandering us since the founding of our country.

Find out who this person is, publish an article to strongly refute him, and perhaps you will be able to truly reach the hearts of these two young people.

The future of both of them is definitely not easy. The leaders of the municipal party committee value their abilities very much, and their future is limitless.”

"Okay, I understand. I know what to do. Thank you, old leader."

"I'm old and will be retiring soon. I still have to rely on you for the future."

This sentence was meant to remind Liao Haiyang that even if he changed his allegiance, he should not forget his past benefactors.

Liao Haiyang immediately understood what he meant.

"Old leader, you promoted me. If my brother needs anything in the future, I will definitely not refuse."

The old leader finally smiled with satisfaction. What he was most worried about before retirement was his stupid son who didn't know how to do business. If it weren't for his father's reputation, could he make money?

The capitalist society outside is a cannibalistic jungle. A silly child will be eaten up without leaving anything behind in a minute. But this is the result of his own pampering, so who can he blame?

This old leader has extraordinary political wisdom and high emotional intelligence, but he is not good at teaching his children. Now that his favorite student has the hope of advancement, he can only hope that his student can help him in the future.

.................

In the afternoon, Qi Tongwei saw Liao Haiyang again.

"What's wrong, Lao Liao, have you redrafted the document?

Once it’s done, send it to the government office and ask them to issue a document.”

"Secretary, the documents are not ready yet.

I came here for another matter.”

Qi Tongwei was still not very interested. He was planning to go to Xinhua Bookstore in the afternoon when he had no meetings or schedules to buy some books on historical costumes and etiquette of the Qing Dynasty to supplement the details of his new book, The Yongzheng Dynasty.

Liao Haiyang arrived at the wrong time. Qi Tongwei had already roughly listed the categories of books he wanted to buy and was ready to go. For some that he could not find, he entrusted the person in charge of Xinhua Bookstore to help purchase them through channels.

"What is it?"

Qi Tongwei is still thinking about which books have more detailed content.

Suddenly, Liao Haiyang took out the magazine from his briefcase and put it on Qi Tongwei's desk.

"Mirror Weekly? This is a political gossip magazine from Hong Kong. I heard it's very reactionary. Why are you still reading this?"

Qi Tongwei could not continue speaking, and his relaxed mood paused and disappeared in an instant, because he turned to the first page, where the words "District Chief Qi" appeared, followed by the content of the entire article.

Liao Haiyang was a little nervous, not knowing how Qi Tongwei would react, but it definitely would not be a good reaction, because veins on Qi Tongwei's forehead were already bulging.

"Very good, Lao Liao, go back to your post first, you are doing a good job.

It is right that you are given that job.”

Liao Haiyang could only retreat silently. Qi Tongwei wanted to tear up the tattered magazine, but he suppressed his anger and tried to stay calm.

Qi Tongwei tried to calm himself down and recalled the words from the famous book.

"Qi Tongwei walked, and the sarcasm behind him became farther and farther away, and gradually he could no longer hear it. He should be calm in his heart, and the insults would not hurt me.

Calm down, you motherfucker!

Qi Tongwei directly became a desktop cleaning master and swept a large pile of documents to the floor.

Seeing the sentence in the magazine, "The above interview came from a staff member A of the district government office," I gnashed my teeth with anger.

"If you are caught by me, I will kill you, you traitors."

After a few seconds, Qi Tongwei calmed down, grabbed the magazine, and walked out the door. When passing by the secretary's office, he called Lu Qiang over.

"I knocked over some documents in the office. You come and clean up after this."

After saying this, he left in a hurry. He had to discuss countermeasures with the two main leaders.

Surprisingly, Gao Yuliang and District Chief Jin seemed to take it lightly and even comforted Qi Tongwei.

"Look, someone took the initiative to write an article to criticize our city, and they even singled you out as a deputy director-level official."
