Chapter 215 Li Dakang! Take care of yourself first!
Inside the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee meeting room, the lighting was a little dim, and the atmosphere was so solemn and depressing that it was almost hard to breathe.
A discussion on the implementation of a project in Guangming District is in full swing. Beneath the seemingly calm surface, there are actually undercurrents and a strong smell of gunpowder.
The municipal party secretary looked around at everyone present with a serious look, and then slowly said: "Today we will mainly discuss the implementation of the Guangming District project. This project is crucial to the development of our Jingzhou City, and everyone must take it seriously."
The secretary's words were concise and powerful, like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly breaking the silence in the conference room and officially kicking off this power game.
Guangming District Mayor Ding Yizheng spoke first. He had a confident and almost exaggerated smile on his face, but his eyes seemed to glance at Qi Tongwei casually, but in fact they contained deep meaning.
He said loudly: "Secretary, I believe that the Guangming District project has great potential and development prospects. We have done a lot of research and preparatory work in the early stage, and now all conditions are basically mature. I believe that this project will definitely bring significant economic and social benefits to our Jingzhou City." Ding Yizheng knew clearly in his mind that this project was promoted by Zhao Lichun at the instruction of Zhao Lichun, and its core purpose was to create trouble for Qi Tongwei and trap him in this complicated vortex.
On the surface, he spoke passionately and eloquently, and every word seemed to be expressed with firm conviction. But in fact, he was following Zhao Lichun's instructions, cleverly pushing the responsibility of the project onto Qi Tongwei step by step, trying to make him take on this hot potato without any preparation.
Deputy Mayor Li Dakang then said: "I agree with District Mayor Ding Yizhen's opinion. The Guangming District project is a key project of our city and must be ensured to be implemented smoothly. Comrade Qi Tongwei has rich experience and ability in this regard. I believe he will be able to lead everyone to complete this project."
Li Dakang seemed to be praising Qi Tongwei without any effort, and his words were full of trust and expectations for him, but in fact he was also quietly cooperating with Zhao Lichun's layout.
He was well aware that the conflict between Qi Tongwei and Zhao Lichun had become increasingly acute, and as Zhao Lichun's right-hand man, he naturally had to carry out Zhao Lichun's instructions without hesitation.
He deliberately emphasized Qi Tongwei's ability in order to put Qi Tongwei in a position where he had to accept the task and put him in the predicament of the project and make it difficult for him to extricate himself.
Qi Tongwei sat there with his brows slightly furrowed, forming a deep "Chuan" character.
His eyes revealed a hint of vigilance and helplessness, and he had already realized that this meeting was unusual.
He knew clearly in his mind that Ding Yizhen and Li Dakang were obviously working together to force the project on him, and the mastermind behind this was undoubtedly Zhao Lichun.
He knew very well that this project was not as simple as it seemed, and that it must involve all kinds of complicated interests and potential huge problems.
He himself is opposed to immediate transformation. In his opinion, the current situation in Guangming District still needs further in-depth research and analysis. Hastily advancing the project may bring about a series of unforeseen consequences.
But in this situation, he couldn't just refuse directly, otherwise he would give others a handle and put himself in a more passive situation.
Qi Tongwei cleared his throat, trying to break the depressing atmosphere and at the same time buy himself some room for maneuver.
He said: "I am grateful for the trust of all the leaders, but the Guangming District project involves a wide range of areas and the task is arduous, which requires close cooperation from all departments. Although I am willing to contribute my own strength to this project, I also hope that everyone can work together to overcome the difficulties that may be encountered."
Qi Tongwei's words seem sincere, but they actually contain hidden meanings.
On the one hand, he expressed his importance to the project and his willingness to take responsibility.
On the other hand, he also cleverly reminded everyone that this project could not be completed by him alone, and required the participation and support of everyone. He tried to gain some support and buffer space for himself while accepting the task so that he could have more initiative in subsequent work.
Ding Yizhen nodded quickly and said, "Of course, Comrade Qi Tongwei, don't worry, our Guangming District will fully cooperate with your work. As long as you have any requirements, we will implement them as soon as possible."
His words seemed sincere and the smile on his face seemed particularly warm, but in fact he was further trapping Qi Tongwei and making it impossible for him to easily shirk his responsibility.
He was secretly proud of himself, thinking that as long as Qi Tongwei took over the project, he would have a good time in the future and the task assigned by Zhao Lichun would be completed smoothly.
Li Dakang was not to be outdone and emphasized again: "Comrade Qi Tongwei, the municipal party committee and government will also fully support your work. This project is related to the future development of our Jingzhou City. We must work together to ensure the successful implementation of the project."
His tone was firm and tough, and he did not give Qi Tongwei any chance to refute, which further put more pressure on Qi Tongwei, as if telling Qi Tongwei that he had to accept the project whether he wanted to or not.
The meeting continued, and everyone had a heated discussion on the details of the project.
Ding Yizheng introduced the project planning and current progress in detail. Every data and every link seemed to imply the importance and urgency of the project.
He deliberately exaggerated the advantages of the project and did not mention any possible risks and problems. His purpose was to force Qi Tongwei to take on this hot potato under this seemingly perfect plan.
After intense discussions, the municipal party committee finally made a decision that the Guangming District project must be implemented within a year, and Qi Tongwei was clearly designated to be responsible for this matter.
The city party committee leaders spoke in high-sounding terms on the surface, claiming that Qi Tongwei could make some achievements since his arrival. They also praised him for doing such a good job in Jinjiang, and there was no reason why he could not make achievements here.
However, Qi Tongwei knew clearly that this was just a counterattack by this group of local tyrants. They were trying to drag him into a complicated situation through this project and put him in trouble.
But Qi Tongwei was no ordinary man after all. After careful consideration, he nodded and agreed.
He had his own plans in mind. He decided to use this opportunity to demonstrate his abilities. At the same time, he would also find a way to break the trap set by Zhao Lichun and others and lay the foundation for his development in Jingzhou.
After the meeting, the smoke of war did not dissipate.
Li Dakang specifically sought out Qi Tongwei, as his dissatisfaction with Qi Tongwei had been accumulating for a long time.
He was already unhappy with Qi Tongwei because of the Haizhou incident. Now that Qi Tongwei had arrived and taken the title of deputy mayor for economic development, this made him even more annoyed.
He knew very well that Jingzhou had developed well in recent years. As long as he could stay in this position for five or six years, he would have great chances of promotion. He didn't want to let Qi Tongwei take advantage of it easily.
Li Dakang walked up to Qi Tongwei with a faint smile on his face, but his eyes revealed obvious hostility.
He said, "Comrade Qi Tongwei, you just came to our Jingzhou and took over such an important project. It's really a heavy responsibility on your shoulders. However, the situation in our Jingzhou is different from other places. It's complicated. You have to be careful."
His words seemed to be expressing concern for Qi Tongwei, but in fact he was secretly warning him not to think that he could easily gain a foothold in Jingzhou.
Qi Tongwei smiled slightly; he had already seen through Li Dakang's thoughts.
He responded unequivocally: "Deputy Mayor Li, thank you for your concern. Now that I am here, I am ready to face all kinds of challenges. I have experienced many ups and downs in Jinjiang, and I believe I can also make some achievements in Jingzhou. Moreover, I believe that as long as we work together, the Guangming District project will be successfully completed and contribute to the development of Jingzhou."
Qi Tongwei's words were full of confidence and determination, and at the same time he was hinting to Li Dakang that he would not be easily intimidated.
Li Dakang was even more displeased after hearing what Qi Tongwei said. He sneered and said, "Humph, it's good for young people to be motivated, but don't be too eager for quick success. Jingzhou's development cannot be driven by a momentary limelight. It requires down-to-earth and one step at a time. Don't ignore some important issues just for the sake of being in the limelight."
His words were full of sarcasm, trying to suppress Qi Tongwei's momentum.
Qi Tongwei was not to be outdone. He directly sarcastically said, "Deputy Mayor Li, if you hadn't made a mistake in Haizhou, you would have been the first candidate for mayor of Jingzhou City, right?"
Qi Tongwei's words were like a sharp sword, piercing Li Dakang's sore spot. Li Dakang's face instantly turned gloomy, and he looked at Qi Tongwei angrily, as if fire was about to burst out of his eyes.
"you!"
Li Dakang was so angry that he was speechless. He never expected that Qi Tongwei would expose his scars so directly.
His hatred for Qi Tongwei deepened, and he secretly vowed to bring Qi Tongwei down no matter what.
He believed that Qi Tongwei's arrival not only threatened his position in Jingzhou, but also humiliated him so ruthlessly, which he absolutely could not tolerate.
Qi Tongwei looked at Li Dakang's angry expression without any fear in his heart.
He knew that he and Li Dakang were completely on the opposite side, but he did not regret it.
He understood that in this arena of power, retreating would only put himself in a more passive situation.
He decided to achieve results in the Guangming District project so that everyone could see his abilities, while also being careful to deal with the overt and covert attacks from Li Dakang, Zhao Lichun and others.
……
After returning to his residence, Qi Tongwei quickly entered combat status like a commander in the army.
He knew very well that the situation on the battlefield in Guangming District was complicated, and he had to take control of the overall situation as quickly as possible in order to stand out in this power game.
Without hesitation, he first found Gao Gang. At the same time, he skillfully dialed Luo Shanhe's number and asked in a firm tone for information about officials of all ranks in Guangming District.
He had a deep gaze and knew clearly in his heart that in this war without the smoke of gunpowder, a clear understanding of the forces of all parties was the key to victory. Only by knowing both oneself and the enemy can one win every battle.
While waiting for the information, Qi Tongwei did not waste any time and started an in-depth discussion with Gao Gang about the current situation in Guangming District.
With his keen political sense and rich experience, they quickly focused on the key issue of Dafeng Factory.
As Qi Tongwei's right-hand man, Gao Gang lived up to expectations. Relying on the extensive network of contacts he had accumulated over the years in Jingzhou, he conducted a comprehensive and detailed investigation of the Dafeng Factory and quickly sorted out all the relevant information about the Dafeng Factory.
The two men sat at the table, concentrating on checking the financial information disclosed by Dafeng Factory.
Looking at those lines of data, Qi Tongwei's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible sneer.
The financial situation of Dafeng Factory was clear at a glance. Although it was profitable on the surface, it was just a tiny profit, barely enough to maintain the level of paying workers' wages.
All other product lines and projects, without exception, are in deep financial trouble.
However, Qi Tongwei was not someone who was easily fooled by appearances. He keenly noticed the abnormality.
Cai Chenggong, the boss of Dafeng Factory, is always able to magically pay the workers under such difficult circumstances. There must be some unknown secrets behind this.
Qi Tongwei was certain that there must be something fishy going on here, and he wanted to uncover the mystery and turn it into a trump card in his hand.
With his extraordinary insight and deep understanding and association of similar situations, Qi Tongwei quickly guessed that Cai Chenggong might have secretly contacted a new buyer.
"Okay!"
He couldn't help but chuckle, with a confident gleam in his eyes.
He knew in his heart that if Cai Chenggong directly declared bankruptcy, he would face many difficult problems and obstacles in taking over the Dafeng Factory.
But if Cai Chenggong chooses to take shortcuts, this will actually be an opportunity for him.
He believed that in this seemingly complex and chaotic situation, there were countless opportunities and breakthrough points that he could exploit. As long as he planned cleverly, he could disrupt his opponent's position and achieve his goal.
Just as Qi Tongwei was methodically instructing Gao Gang to conduct a further investigation and gradually uncover the mystery behind Dafeng Factory, an unexpected news came in. The informant there told him that Chen Yanshi, the president of the Procuratorate, had actually gone to Dafeng Factory.
After hearing the news, Qi Tongwei just frowned slightly and then fell into a brief contemplation.
He knew Chen Yanshi's background very well. The former deputy mayor of Jingzhou City had participated in the management and planning of the Dafeng Factory project in the early days of reform and opening up, and many of the workers in the factory were old acquaintances of his.
"What is he doing now?"
Although Qi Tongwei had some doubts in his heart, he did not show any panic.
In his opinion, this was just another new variable in the game, and he was capable enough to deal with any variable.
After a moment, Qi Tongwei raised his head, his eyes revealing firmness and decisiveness. He calmly said to Gao Gang: "Gao Gang, you go there in person and find a way to infiltrate them. You must find out what they are planning. This matter is very serious and may have a significant impact on our plan. But you must remember not to alert the enemy. What we want is accurate intelligence and a comprehensive understanding."
