At this moment, Qi Tongwei, who was at the center of the vortex, had just come out of Jingzhou Railway Station.
Chapter 146 Provincial Party Committee Office
Room 502, Graduate Dormitory, Handong University.
Qi Tongwei, carrying his suitcase, pushed open the dormitory door. The guys inside were chatting when they saw the commotion at the door and immediately turned around to see Qi Tongwei.
"Tongwei, you're back?"
"Why are you back so soon?"
Faced with his roommates' questions, Qi Tongwei put down his suitcase and smiled.
"I'll be back to work, so naturally I won't be staying for more than a few days."
As soon as Qi Tongwei said this, he immediately started talking.
One of the roommates asked.
"Tongwei, we've all heard about it. Why did you go to the Provincial Party Committee Office?"
"Yes! You really did something big without making a sound, and it shook the entire Handong University!"
"Tongwei, you said you were going to find your uncle. Who is your uncle? Does he have so much influence?"
His roommates chatted amongst themselves, and Qi Tongwei listened quietly until they finished speaking before he began to speak.
"My uncle is a corps commander in the Beijing Military Region, but he only holds the rank of major general."
"My goodness! Old Qi, you actually have a general as an uncle?"
"That's all? Comrade Qi, excessive modesty is just arrogance!"
"I have nothing more to say, brother, no, godfather, please take care of me in the future."
“If Lord Qi does not despise me, I request to become his godfather.”
"Me too."
The fact that his roommates had become his adopted sons left Qi Tongwei both amused and exasperated. He looked at the group and said something.
"I have to leave for another city soon, so let's all have a good get-together tonight."
"Hey~ Lao Qi, why are you going out of town? Aren't you supposed to be at the Provincial Party Committee Office?"
"There are some things I can't say to everyone, but I believe you'll all understand soon enough."
Secretary Gong hasn't made any official arrangements yet, and Qi Tongwei has only joined the Provincial Party Committee Office, so naturally, Qi Tongwei won't say much at this time.
In other words, he trusted the guys in his dorm. If it were anyone else, Qi Tongwei wouldn't have said a word.
Everything depends on Secretary Gong's decision; until then, Qi Tongwei must keep a low profile.
Before graduation, the guys in my dorm had a meal together at a small restaurant outside the school.
It was at this time that Chen Yang found Qi Tongwei.
In the days following the release of Qi Tongwei's assignment list, Chen Yang seemed to have vanished.
Qi Tongwei could understand this.
Chen Yang's father, Chen Yanshi, is the executive deputy chief prosecutor of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate.
Liang Qunfeng, on the other hand, is the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of Handong and the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, representing the Party Committee in exercising political leadership over the public security, procuratorial, and judicial organs.
Chen Yanshi's political status and influence are no match for Liang Qunfeng's, so it's perfectly normal for the Chen family to remain silent on this matter.
However, while I can understand, from Qi Tongwei's perspective, this only proves one thing: the two sides are not on the same path.
Chen Yang was not a good match for Qi Tongwei, for a simple reason: Qi Tongwei also needed a wife who could provide him with political support.
My uncle's support is one thing, but my wife's family's support is equally important. If you can walk on two legs, there's no need to become a cripple.
After leaving the restaurant, Chen Yang and Qi Tongwei walked on the street. After a long silence, Chen Yang finally spoke.
"Tongwei, congratulations! The Provincial Party Committee Office is a great place, and now you've got what you wanted."
"I was just lucky. If someone hadn't helped me, I would have ended up being sent to a rural town."
Chen Yang looked at Qi Tongwei, and several times he wanted to ask himself if Qi was blaming him.
But after preparing several times, she ultimately gave up.
Once something is done, there's no need to ask about it again.
When they arrived at the girls' dormitory building, Chen Yang waved to Qi Tongwei.
"Then I'll go up first."
"Okay, I'm going back to my dorm too."
Chen Yang turned and walked towards his dormitory, while Qi Tongwei continued along the road toward his own dormitory.
At this T-junction, two young people, who clearly had a point of intersection, ultimately went in different directions and drifted further and further apart.
This is fate.
The Provincial Party Committee General Office gave Qi Tongwei three days to report for duty, but on the morning of the second day after Qi Tongwei returned to Jingzhou, he arrived at the Provincial Party Committee to report for duty.
The person from the Provincial Party Committee General Office who came to greet Qi Tongwei was Xia Chaoyang, the director of the First Secretariat Division.
As someone working in the Provincial Party Committee Office, Xia Chaoyang knew some inside information. Qi Tongwei's transfer to the Provincial Party Committee Office was personally instructed by Secretary Gong, clearly indicating that Qi Tongwei was to be his secretary.
The top secretary of Handong!
This identity alone was enough for Xia Chaoyang to take seriously. As for the background behind Qi Tongwei, Xia Chaoyang didn't even dare to think about it.
When Xia Chaoyang saw Qi Tongwei, he smiled and extended his hand.
"Are you Comrade Xiao Qi? I am Xia Chaoyang, the head of the First Secretariat."
"Hello Director Xia, I look forward to your guidance in the future."
As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face. Qi Tongwei is already keeping a low profile, and he didn't put on any show of power in front of Xia Chaoyang; there was no need for it.
Being able to unite with comrades is itself an important assessment criterion.
"I'll take you back to the office and help you with your onboarding procedures first. After that, I'll talk to you about some things."
"Excuse me."
After helping Qi Tongwei complete all the formalities, Xia Chaoyang arranged an office for him and then took him to his own office.
As soon as he entered the office, Xia Chaoyang immediately spoke.
"Director Ma has already given instructions. Once you've made your arrangements here, head to Luzhou immediately. Secretary Gong is currently conducting research there. The Provincial Party Committee Office has assigned you to temporarily serve as Secretary Gong's full-time secretary."
Qi Tongwei speaks concisely and to the point.
Gong Kaichen has just been transferred to Handong. Although he served as the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee in Handong for three years, five years have passed now, and many things have changed dramatically.
To give a simple example, a leader who was in office 5 years ago may no longer be in the same position today.
Therefore, Secretary Gong had to start many things from scratch.
Therefore, it's difficult to define who is treacherous and who is loyal within the provincial party committee. The only people Qi Tongwei can trust, besides Secretary Gong Kaichen, are Sun Liancheng.
At least these two are already openly identified; they're on the same side.
The Director Ma that Xia Chaoyang just mentioned refers to Ma Changhong, Deputy Secretary-General of the Hantong Provincial Party Committee and Director of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee.
"Xiao Qi, if there's anything you don't understand in the future, you can ask me anytime."
"Definitely, definitely. I'll have to come and bother Director Xia then."
However, Qi Tongwei did not take Xia Chaoyang's words seriously. As before, Xia Chaoyang was not trusted by Qi Tongwei.
Besides, he was Secretary Gong's personal secretary, and the only leader he served was Secretary Gong.
No matter how capable Xia Chaoyang is, can he be more capable than Sun Liancheng?
In the entire Handong Province, is there anyone who knows Secretary Gong better than Sun Liancheng?
Xia Chaoyang understood that Qi Tongwei was someone with connections, and it was best to avoid offending such people. However, Qi Tongwei's attitude also made him somewhat pleased.
At least this young comrade had a pretty good attitude.
Qi Tongwei's appointment as the full-time secretary to Secretary Gong of the Provincial Party Committee could not be kept secret from those who were interested.
Through deliberate spreading by some individuals, the matter reached the ears of Liang Qunfeng, Deputy Secretary of the Handong Provincial Party Committee.
At this time, Qi Tongwei was preparing to set off for Lüzhou.
Chapter 147 Liang Lu was dumbfounded
The office of Liang Qunfeng, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, in the Provincial Party Committee Building of Handong.
As Secretary Liang was reviewing the summary of the semi-annual political and legal work conference of Handong Province, he casually asked a question when his secretary came to refill his water.
"Has Secretary Gong's secretary been arranged?"
"Secretary Liang, everything has been arranged."
"Oh? Who is it? What's their name?"
Liang Qunfeng picked up his teacup and took a sip. At that moment, his secretary spoke.
"Secretary Liang, this man is Qi Tongwei. He was just recruited by the Provincial Party Committee Office from Handong University."
Upon hearing this, Liang Qunfeng stopped holding his teacup and looked at his secretary with disbelief, asking her a question.
Who did you just call someone?
"Qi Tongwei."
Liang Qunfeng was completely dumbfounded. Not long ago, he had just spoken to Handong University and sent this person to the grassroots level, but in the end, Qi Tongwei became the secretary of the provincial party secretary.
How could this not shock him?
This is the secretary of the provincial party secretary! The number one secretary in Handong.
It is no exaggeration to say that from now on, all the leaders in the officialdom of Handong will have to be mindful of Qi Tongwei's feelings.
This is the power of a secretary; he is the embodiment of Secretary Gong.
Liang Qunfeng wouldn't be foolish enough to ask his secretary if it was true, because his secretary would definitely not lie to him on this matter.
But who exactly is this Qi Tongwei? A recent master's graduate, a greenhorn, how did he manage to catch Gong Kaichen's eye?
Liang Qunfeng wouldn't be foolish enough to think Qi Tongwei was exceptionally capable; Gong Kaichen valued his abilities.
With over a billion people in China, there are countless people with extraordinary abilities. To think that one can become the secretary of a provincial party secretary based solely on ability is undoubtedly a pipe dream.
There must be something else behind this.
Liang Qunfeng was eager to find out the reason behind this, because he had a grudge against Qi Tongwei.
Regardless of the circumstances, he did use his power to demote Qi Tongwei to the grassroots level.
Now that Qi Tongwei has become Gong Kaichen's secretary, who can guarantee that Qi Tongwei won't say anything in the future?
More importantly, although Secretary Gong has just arrived in Handong, he is not without a foothold there, and Gong Kaichen's background is not low.
Behind him stood Vice President Liu, a formidable figure.
Once someone reaches Liu Lao's position, saying that "out of sight, out of mind" is undoubtedly utterly ridiculous.
After all, he is one of the few people in the country who have reached the pinnacle. The political status and influence of each person who has reached the top are immeasurable.
It is no exaggeration to say that, just because of Elder Liu's rank, the Liu family is already a first-class family in the capital.
"Have you heard anything? Why would Secretary Gong take a liking to Qi Tongwei?"
A secretary is essentially the leader's ears and ears; often, a secretary needs to provide the leader with necessary information to help them make decisions.
So after hearing Liang Qunfeng's question, the secretary thought for a moment and then replied.
"Secretary, I've heard some rumors."
"It is said that Qi Tongwei once contacted Director Gao of the Department of Political Science and Law at Han University, and then went directly to Beijing."
As the secretary to the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, it was incredibly easy for him to find out some information.
He had already learned these rumors through various channels after Qi Tongwei became Gong Kaichen's secretary, in preparation for Liang Qunfeng's inquiry.
