Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 325: The Secretary Conscripted a Man 3

Qi Tongwei wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. Everyone felt the same way, but only ordinary people dared to say it out loud.

"Oh, my parents are ugly. I am a soldier. Look, this is my preferential card.

I just wanted to ask what vegetables are worth buying today, since a typhoon is coming soon. I see you have a lot of experience, so I came to ask for your advice."

The aunt looked around and spoke in a low voice.

"Oh, it's not that I don't want to buy more, but the vegetable prices have risen sharply in the past two days.

When I went in, the stall owners said that a typhoon was coming and the prices of fish and meat had increased a few prices as well.

Look, even vegetables that cost a few cents have also gone up in price.

I have some vegetables I grow and chickens at home, so even if I don’t buy vegetables for a few days when I get home, I can still eat the stock.

We can’t let them slaughter us like this.”

When Qi Tongwei heard this, he felt something was wrong. Someone was actually making a fortune during the typhoon. Sure enough, after the aunt left, the smile on Lu Xuwei's face disappeared.

"Comrades, our work is not up to par. During the typhoon, we should have better ensured the supply of daily necessities for the people. Now they are taking the opportunity to raise prices, which is a slap in our face.

District Chief Xiao Qi, please write down the situation immediately. This is your territory and you are the one who will solve any problems."

Qi Tongwei originally wanted to express his position and immediately call the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, the Price Bureau and the market management to come over, but it seemed that Lu Xuwei did not want to make it public at this time, but wanted to see the real situation at the grassroots level.

"Yes, I understand. I will start implementing it as soon as I get back."

Lu Xuwei patted Qi Tongwei on the shoulder again.

“Don’t worry too much about it. As the chief officer of a region, you must be able to adapt to various issues and come up with solutions.

Assign the right people to do good things, but sometimes, most problems are difficult to solve by manpower.

When you encounter a problem that cannot be solved, do your best, but also learn to accept it.

When I was your age, I also hated evil and acted recklessly. When I worked in the bureau, I could criticize the director to his face.

Of course, I was severely educated by society later on, but even if people grow older, they cannot change their original intentions.

As civil servants, we must always put the people's concerns first.

Whenever you serve as an official in a certain place for a few years, you should make some contribution, even if it is just a little bit.

Even though they have seen many hardships in life, they still remain true to their original aspirations and are still enthusiastic. This is what makes a good cadre of ours.

Have you seen Romance of the Three Kingdoms? It was shown on TV last year."

Qi Tongwei nodded, still crossing his hands in front of his abdomen and slightly bending over.

"Seen."

"Sima Yi said a very classic passage in it. You are young, and when you encounter setbacks, you become lazy and slack. How can you achieve great things in the future? Although you are full of knowledge, you are narrow-minded and can't even tolerate a few bad words. How can you end up like this? A person with magnanimity can achieve great things.

Although everyone could spit on Sima Yi's character, he has been a rare person who could truly achieve great things since ancient times.

We all need to have this quality, to be passionate about our work, to be indifferent to success, and to be indifferent to failure, and learn to get along with failure. "

After drinking this series of chicken soup, Qi Tongwei felt a little uncomfortable. When did the municipal party secretary show so much concern for a small pawn like him?

"Yes, understand."

"Come on, let's go in and see today's vegetable prices."

Most of the people were wearing raincoats and rain boots today, which blended in with the environment of the vegetable market. If they were usually dressed in suits and ties, they would be recognized as cadres when they came in, and the market management would come over to greet them immediately.

Lu Xuwei took the lead and walked to a beef stall, selected some beef, and greeted the boss.

"Boss, how much is the beef?"

"Look at the sign next to it. It clearly states the price."

"It's so expensive. I just bought it a few days ago. It's half the price of what you have here."

The boss suddenly became impatient and waved his hand to start chasing people away.

“You can buy it if you want, it’s this price, it was a few days ago, and now it is now.

Now that there is a typhoon, the price is the same everywhere.”

"Why are you so fierce? Give me these pounds of meat."

Qi Tongwei stepped forward to take over. He couldn't just stand by and watch the vendor confront the municipal party secretary. The other party was not guilty as he was ignorant, but he would be in big trouble.

The boss didn't waste any time. He cut the meat quickly and put it into Qi Tongwei's hand.

"Secretary, do you want to go shopping over there again?"

Lu Xuwei had obviously observed what he wanted to see and shook his head.

"Let's go back."

As soon as he walked out of the market, Qi Tongwei found that his rain boots were stained with poultry feces, commonly known as chicken droppings. It was probably got on the ground when he passed the poultry area. He could only rub it off in the puddle next to him.

"Chief Qi, come here. Let's go to the next location."

The person who spoke was Secretary-General Hong. Qi Tongwei could only ignore the stains on his rain boots and get into the car.

"Let's go to Qinshan Reservoir, Tongwei, is it impossible to drive up there?"

"Cars can only drive to the old Qinshan Hydropower Station. To go up to the reservoir, you have to walk a short distance on the mountain road."

“I heard that last time, you invited experts from the Ministry of Water Resources to come over and stay there for several days.

I wanted to come and say hello, but I got so busy that I forgot. What are your plans for the future?"

Qi Tongwei answered immediately.

"Secretary, we have talked to experts from the Ministry of Water Resources. They believe that this area is very suitable for building a large reservoir hydropower station, which can generate enough electricity to cover the daily electricity consumption of several districts in our city."

“Well, this is a big project, we need to do it well. The current pace of power outages cannot keep up with our development progress.

I have reported this to ZY. The higher-ups have decided that we should build a nuclear power plant together in a certain county in the south and the neighboring city of Yuedong. This will cover the industrial electricity needs of our two regions. Industry cannot do without electricity.

With your hydropower station, the electricity supply for daily life in our city and even in several neighboring cities is basically guaranteed.”

Qi Tongwei was a little surprised that the municipal party secretary personally explained this matter to a small fry like him. This was not something he could be involved in. Adding on the previous courtesy, he felt a little flattered.

"Oh, meeting a young man like you reminds me of when I was in the army, I was also so determined to do things.

I was especially surprised when you ordered the use of bazookas to fight criminals.

Hahahaha, I did this kind of thing when I was young. If I hadn't had the chief protecting me at that time, I would have become a drifter in society. With my looks and figure, it would be a pity if I wasn't a gang leader."

Only he could make this joke, no one else had the courage to say it. For a moment, Qi Tongwei could only smile awkwardly.

"Secretary, we're here. There are quite a few people inside."
