Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 294: Tricking Gao Yuliang

Qi Tongwei skillfully fiddled with the tea set and made Kung Fu tea for Gao Yuliang.

"Teacher, I originally thought you couldn't come. After all, as a secretary of a first-rank official, you can't control your own time."

Gao Yuliang touched the decoration on the tea table and looked at the tea table made of a whole piece of large tree roots.

“This tea table is really nice and beautiful.

My time is relatively better now than before. The old secretary is about to retire. The higher-ups originally wanted him to go to the Central Advisory Commission to contribute for a few years, but he rejected all of them at once.

He said he wanted to go back to his hometown to grow tea and retire completely. "

Qi Tongwei had no way of knowing about the affairs of the first-rank official, and Gao Yuliang would not violate the principle of confidentiality and say more. What he said were all public matters that everyone knew.

"Retire completely. Not to mention the Central Advisory Commission, are you not going to the National People's Congress either?"

"Yeah, I won't go anymore. I'll quit completely."

"The old secretary is truly a man of high character. It is almost human nature to cling to power.

So, Mr. Gao, what are you going to do?"

Gao Yuliang picked up the teacup and took a sip, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes. The busyness of the past two years has left him with almost no time to think about his future. Every day is a new challenge, and being a secretary to his boss is extremely stressful.

In fact, he just hasn't thought it through. Maybe one day, his leader will ask for his opinion. If he fails to seize that opportunity, it may affect his life.

"Teacher, please forgive me for overstepping my authority.

I suggest you go directly to the local level, and don't go to Handong. First, make it clear that you are at the department level, and then move down. With the experience of governing a region, you will have a bright future whether you develop in the political and legal system or go anywhere else.

Why should I leave the political and legal system to become the executive deputy district mayor? Wouldn't it be glorious for me to be the director of the Public Security Bureau? I can do things smoothly and so many bigwigs appreciate me.

My goal is to broaden my own path rather than being confined to the political and legal system. As long as I have the experience of being a county party secretary, I will be able to give full play to my abilities whether I enter or return to the political and legal field in the future.

So, I suggest you go directly to the place.”

Gao Yuliang and Qi Tongwei actually had similar opinions on this matter, but he was only thinking about returning to Handong. It might also be because Teacher Wu often persuaded him that returning to Handong would allow his family to be reunited.

Qi Tongwei also saw this and continued to increase his efforts.

"Teacher, I told you at first not to go back to Handong, and there was a reason for that.

Tea, please.

Qi Tongwei first made a small cup of Kung Fu tea, giving both parties a dozen seconds of buffer time before continuing to speak.

“I have observed the situation in Handong Province. The senior leaders of the provincial party committee here generally have outdated ideas and are taking small steps towards the development of reform and opening up.

However, their behavior is no longer in line with the guiding spirit of the center. You in the center should know this better than I do.

But among them, Zhao Lichun, the former secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee and now the executive vice governor, is a radical reformer. His political views and abilities are highly appreciated by those above him.

So I personally think that in the future, Handong Province may be ruled by Governor Zhao."

Gao Yuliang raised his head suddenly and looked at Qi Tongwei seriously.

"Tongwei, don't speak nonsense."

Qi Tongwei looked indifferent and continued to make tea with a smile.

"Whether I am talking nonsense or not, you have to judge for yourself, teacher.

Governor Zhao is radical in his work and is a hero in the reform and opening up movement, but he also has a flaw: he is not very principled in his work and will do anything to achieve political achievements.

This can be seen from the past few years he has been in Jingzhou City. I have also heard some rumors that he is somewhat indulgent towards his two daughters and allows his eldest daughter to approve notes for others to use the back door to do business.

So, we can analyze it from this series of information.

In the future, Handong will first develop rapidly under the leadership of Governor Zhao, but at the same time it will leave behind many hidden dangers.

Teacher Gao, you work at the center, so you must see some directions of the center more clearly than I do. With Governor Zhao's style of doing things, he will have no chance of being stationed at the center.

He is a complete localist. Most of the people he promotes are definitely local cadres. To be honest, Mr. Gao, are you still a local cadre now? "

Gao Yuliang fell into deep thought. Yes, he was no longer considered a local cadre. He already had a faction.

Zhao Lichun is a domineering person who acts arbitrarily and arbitrarily. The cadres he promotes are all rootless and have to rely on him.

If Gao Yuliang returns to Handong at this time, Zhao will regard him as an airborne cadre sent by the higher-ups. Although he will not be targeted openly, Zhao will definitely force all important tasks related to reform and opening up on his own people.

From this perspective, if he returns to work, he will inevitably be caught up in struggles. Gao Yuliang is not afraid of struggles, but he does not want to get involved in meaningless struggles.

But then, Gao Yuliang thought of something and looked at Qi Tongwei.

"You want me to apply for a position in Dongou City?"

Qi Tongwei smiled. As expected of Teacher Gao, he understood things immediately. Of course, it was also because Qi Tongwei had planted a seed in his heart during the Chinese New Year.

"Teacher Gao, the situation in Jiangdong is actually better than that in Handong. There are many reformers here, and there are many factions. Not to mention others, just Teacher Hong's eldest disciple, the current deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, Li Lujie, is also from the old secretary's faction.

Not to mention, I occupy the new district in the city, and the annual GDP growth is calculated in 100%.

As long as you come over, you will find your own people everywhere.

I have made all the arrangements for you. Come here first and become a deputy secretary at the department level. Now this deputy secretary is a local and will definitely be appointed to another city or prefecture.

When the term of office changes next year, I will successfully take the position of mayor.

You are in charge of a city that is a bridgehead for national reform and opening up. You have the support of major factions above you, and I am here to help you.

If everything goes well, after three years, whether you are transferred to another city as secretary or promoted where you are, you will definitely be a member of the provincial party committee standing committee in the future."

Qi Tongwei spoke at this moment just like Chen Peisi performing a skit. Gao Yuliang wanted to laugh when he saw him, but what he said really made him excited. It was a chance to achieve results without doing anything.

If I go back to Handong and waste my time fighting with those people, then my ideals will be ruined.

Anyone who has worked as a secretary will fantasize about sitting in this position one day. The chair may be old, but the power it represents is infinite and fascinating.

However, Gao Yuliang did not dare to say it out loud. What Qi Tongwei said was indeed reasonable and in line with his wishes. If he wanted to get to that position, he could not waste time fighting with others unless it was necessary.
