Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 1019 Xia Guanglei's Winning Strategy

"How can you do this? As mayor, you have no political manners or vision whatsoever," Xia Guanglei commented sternly.

Lin Gangjian laughed and said, "After all, he is a farmer's son. He suddenly became rich and held a high position, so it's inevitable that he will become arrogant."

Xia Guanglei then asked, "Didn't any of the other comrades say anything? Did they just let him flaunt his power?"

"How could I dare say that? He was specially transferred from Handong by higher-ups. He's the fire chief, and he carries an imperial sword."

With the support of the provincial party committee, he also had a very close relationship with He Anxia, ​​the municipal party secretary.

Together with the two of them and Zuo Ming, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission who took the initiative to get close, they controlled the secretary's office meeting and the five-person group. In Beishan, who could rival them?

The other standing committee members, intimidated by his power, dared not stand up to refute him.

Xia Guanglei's face darkened. "Is he really that domineering?"

"This is nothing, Secretary Xia," Lin Gangjian laughed. "You have no idea how 'earth-shattering' this mayor's first speech was on his inaugural day."

Upon meeting, in front of provincial leaders, they defined the roles of all the leading cadres in Beishan City.

Speaking of the cadres in Beishan, they are a bunch of parasites wasting their time, living off the glory of their fathers and the legacy of the "Eight Banners descendants."

Moreover, in the past year, in Beishan, the mayor, who is nominally the top leader, is actually the top leader.

"If he doesn't approve a project in our city, you can forget about it. If he doesn't agree to the policies formulated by various departments, you can forget about them being implemented."

Xia Guanglei frowned. "So, does that mean I, as the municipal party secretary, will have to listen to him from now on?"

Lin Gangjian's smile remained unchanged. "Of course that's impossible. You're not like He Anxia, ​​a hands-off manager. According to the Party's organizational principles, you are the one in charge."

Xia Guanglei, appearing unbiased, looked at Ma Da and asked, "Comrade Ma Da, what do you think of Comrade Qi Tongwei? Is he really as Chairman Lin described?"

Ma Da was surprised that Xia Guanglei would suddenly throw out such a question; it was a potentially fatal one.

If his answer were critical, wouldn't he be putting himself in opposition to Qi Tongwei? If word got out, Secretary Yu would probably criticize him again.

"Comrade Guanglei, to be honest, I've only been in Beishan for half a year. Not long after I arrived, Comrade Qi Tongwei was injured and hospitalized. After recovering, he went abroad for an inspection. In addition, we had different work focuses, so I haven't had much contact with him."

I know too little about him to presume to speak presumptuously.

Mada tactfully avoided giving a direct answer.

However, Xia Guanglei was very satisfied with Ma Da's answer.

In his view, the fact that Ma Da did not speak well of Qi Tongwei proved that he had an opportunity to win him over.

"Alright, let's not talk about him anymore. I will try to find out more about Comrade Tongwei's problem. If it's true, I will definitely criticize him severely. Now let's talk about our comrades here, starting with Comrade Mada."

"Me?" Mada blinked. "Comrade Guanglei, I don't know what you want to know."

"Of course, it's because I know your strengths, Comrade Ma Da. Actually, I've known you for quite a while now." Xia Guanglei recalled, "Back then, I had just started working at the Ministry of Industry."

Your leadership in bringing thousands of employees back to Wenshan was a well-known incident within the Ministry of Industry.

Ma Da paused for a moment, then smiled somewhat embarrassedly, "Comrade Guanglei, please forgive my foolishness. I was ignorant back then..."

"No, no, no," Xia Guanglei interrupted, "I admire you for that. The fact that you are willing to give up your official position and even your life for the sake of thousands of employees shows that you are a true party member with ideals and beliefs."

Unlike some leading cadres who will stop at nothing to advance their own careers.

Ma Da smiled but didn't reply. Not only did he not show any humility, but he even thought that Xia Guanglei had good taste.

In his heart, he felt that he was such a person, and that everything he did was worthy of the Party and the people.

Xia Guanglei continued, "Comrade Mada, you've been in Beishan for a while now, so you must have a basic understanding of it. Do you have any ideas on what to do?"

Ma Da replied, "Comrade Guanglei, aren't I doing just fine now?"

Xia Guanglei was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Haha, that's right, that's right, you're already doing it, then we'll have to work together to develop Beishan as soon as possible."

Ma Da nodded. "Comrade Guanglei, don't worry, I will do my job well."

Xia Guanglei felt he had gained a lot from Mada's statement, so he was no longer in a hurry to win him over.

He understands the principle of moderation.

The first step, establishing goodwill, has been completed; the next step is to see how things are exchanged for benefits.

The group continued chatting, deepening their impressions of each other.

It wasn't until there was another knock on the door that Ma Da said goodbye.

Xia Guanglei politely tried to persuade him to stay, then let him go.

His main purpose today was to talk to his subordinates and establish his authority. Having a subordinate who always addressed him as "Comrade Guanglei" was really affecting the atmosphere and his dignity.

After the motor left, several more groups of guests arrived.

However, they were all cadres from the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. These people did not live in the Little Red Building, so they arrived relatively late.

Apart from Jian Yun and several deputy directors of the People's Congress who took the opportunity to come over, there were no other comrades from the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government.

Thus, Xia Guanglei gained a preliminary understanding of the situation in Beishan.

The task is arduous and the road ahead is long.

……

The following day, Xia Guanglei moved into the municipal party committee office to begin his work.

In the morning, several members of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee began to come over one after another to report on their work, and they all explained why they hadn't gone over last night.

The unified narrative was that they didn't want to disturb his rest, but in reality, it showed a deep sense of alienation from him, the municipal party secretary.

Xia Guanglei wasn't annoyed.

No leader can command the utmost respect and worship from the moment they arrive in a new place.

He's taking it one step at a time, he's not in a hurry.

He set his sights on Wu Yingjie, the Minister of Publicity.

Wu Yingjie was the first member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee to report to him. He was a very important member of the Standing Committee, ranking only after the three deputy secretaries.

Of course, this is based on the other party's seniority and the time they were admitted to the Standing Committee.

Most importantly, according to his understanding, this member of the municipal party committee and Qi Tongwei were not very close.

In the afternoon, Xia Guanglei called the other party over to inquire about several publicity-related matters. Wu Yingjie finished reporting in detail and was about to take his leave when Xia Guanglei stopped him.

"Minister Wu, please wait a moment. I have something I'd like to ask you."

coming!

A hint of excitement flashed in Wu Yingjie's eyes.

Theoretically speaking, he was a natural member of the Party Secretary's faction. When He Anxia was the Party Secretary, he sided with He Anxia. Now that Xia Guanglei is the Party Secretary, he naturally has to listen to the new Party Secretary's orders.

I just don't know what benefits this new secretary can bring him.

He's not far from retiring, so he needs to make the most of his remaining time.
