Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 57 Disagreement

Yi Xuexue was impressed, "What level are you at? What's your name?"

"Qi Tongwei, you will be a sophomore soon."

"Qi Tongwei, I've seen you several times these days. I wonder what you've learned?"

Qi Tongwei thought for a moment and said, "I did gain a little."

"Tell me."

"The Jinshan County government has strong organizational capabilities. It is not easy to mobilize so many people to work hard."

Yi Xuexi nodded. This was all thanks to Li Dakang, who mobilized people day and night.

"Well, it's not all the county government's credit. It's also because of the people's yearning for a better life. One generation suffers, and three generations benefit."

"Your words are profound. One generation suffers, and three generations benefit. For the sake of the future of future generations, leaving the suffering to oneself is the unique love that Chinese people have for their children. However..."

"But what?"

“It would be better if the construction progressed a little slower.”

“Isn’t it bad to progress too fast?”

Qi Tongwei pointed at the people working and said, "Look, there are quite a few elderly people and women here. Although their work is much easier than that of middle-aged people, it is far beyond their ability to endure such an intensity.

As far as I know, your project will take at least another month to complete. With the intensity of working for up to twelve hours a day, I'm afraid you'll be exhausted before you finish the work.

It is the hottest summer of the year, and the only way to prevent heatstroke is to drink one or two bowls of bland mung bean soup every day, which is far from enough. "

If you think about it carefully, you will find that there is indeed such a risk.

"We are poor in Jinshan County. I managed to get this mung bean porridge with great difficulty."

"You? Don't you know who you are?" Qi Tongwei asked knowingly.

Who made this county party secretary, the top leader, ride a bicycle? Li Dakang, on the other hand, was riding the only jeep in the county.

If I didn’t know, I would have thought Li Dakang was the top leader.

"Oh, I'm Yi Xuexue, secretary of the Jinshan County Party Committee." Yi Xuexue took the initiative to extend his hand.

The two men were not much different in age. Yi Xuexue had only been graduated for a few years when he was sent here in a time of crisis.

"It's Secretary Yi. Hello, Secretary Yi."

"What secretary or not? We are of similar age. What's more, I also graduated from Handong University. So I am your senior. You can call me Lao Yi." Yi Xuexue did not have the airs of an official.

"Really? That's what a coincidence. I'll call you Brother Yi." Qi Tongwei was naturally willing.

If he could sign in, Qi Tongwei would most like to sign in with Yi Xuexi, and the person he would least like to sign in with is Li Dakang.

Both of them have their own principles, but Yi Xuexi takes the people and national laws as his principles, and always puts the people first in his heart.

Li Dakang is different. On the surface, he puts the people first, but in fact, he is a person who pursues power, political achievements and official positions.

Li Dakang was delayed in becoming a member of the provincial standing committee several years because a corrupt deputy mayor of Lincheng was removed from office, investors fled on a large scale, and the economy declined.

Later, when Ding Yizhen of Jingzhou was removed from office and the city was at a critical moment of progress, he thought of suppressing the matter in order to avoid repeating the same mistake.

These people are all his subordinates. Under the surveillance of the extremely controlling Li Dakang, doesn't he understand what these people are doing? And he turned a blind eye to it. The real reason is obvious.

Qi Tongwei had to admit that on this point, he and Li Dakang shared the same idea.

As long as the ultimate goal can be achieved, it doesn't matter who is used or how they are used.

And the most important point is that Li Dakang only cares about himself. For the sake of his official position, he can abandon his leaders, wife, and subordinates. He is a wolf that cannot be tamed in Zhao Lichun's mouth.

Therefore, Yi Xuexue, who is capable of economics and has pure talent, is the partner he needs most.

"Tongwei, I have also thought about the problems you mentioned, but you don't understand the real situation. Eighty percent of the funds for our road construction come from loans from Jingzhou Bank.

Every day that passes, the people of Jinshan County have to bear more debt, so they have to hurry. The most important thing is that Jinshan County has already made an agreement with many investors that if the road is completed this year, they will settle in Jinshan County, otherwise they will settle elsewhere. "

Qi Tongwei frowned. This was a problem. Would he be able to do better if he faced such a situation?

The answer is no. The most important thing about this issue is Zhao Lichun. If he is slow in one step, he will be slow in every step. The higher-ups can't wait.

The two chatted for a while, and Yi Xuexue invited Qi Tongwei to inspect construction sites in various places together.

The perspective of a county party secretary is rare and valuable, and Qi Tongwei gladly accepted it.

As the construction progressed, time quickly entered late July, commonly known as the dog days of summer.

In this kind of weather, the situation became even worse. People suffered from heatstroke every day. Several dilapidated ambulances from the county hospital directly served as fire brigades, traveling to various construction sites.

Yi Xuexi also realized that this would cause big problems, so he calculated the time and proposed at the Standing Committee meeting to shorten the working hours from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., shortening the original twelve hours to eight hours.

If Jinshan County’s infrastructure was not so poor that it could not provide effective lighting equipment, the time could be changed to work at night and rest during the day.

"No, it will delay the construction period. According to this working time calculation, it will be delayed by at least half a month. In case it rains and blows again, the delay will inevitably affect the autumn plowing." Li Dakang objected decisively.

The time period for road construction had been calculated long ago. People were busy with farming in the spring, and only had one or two months to wait for the first harvest, and all this was done by snatching food from the mouths of the people.

Because the people would take advantage of this period to plant some vegetables or something, and if it affects the autumn ploughing, the people would point at Li Dakang's head and curse him.

They all know that building roads is a good thing, but the premise is that it does not affect their stomachs.

Yi Xuexue said excitedly: "Li Dakang, do you know how many people are admitted to the county hospital every day? The wards in the county hospital are almost full. If this continues, it will cause a mass incident. Neither you nor I can bear the responsibility!"

Yi Xuexi also wanted to repair the road as soon as possible, but he knew that the people were already overwhelmed.

Li Dakang was even more excited. “I know, of course I know, and I also know that if it is not repaired quickly, we will have to wait another four or five months, or even until next year due to heavy snow.

Not only is the loan interest an astronomical figure, but there are also many agreed projects that cannot be implemented in Jinshan County.

The people will continue to be poor, and I cannot bear this responsibility!"

Li Dakang is a man of action. In the gap between loans for road construction, he had already contacted many investors through his relationship as Zhao Lichun's chief secretary.

For the sake of Zhao Lichun's respect, these businessmen agreed to build factories and develop businesses in Jinshan County.

For businessmen, time is money, especially since the factory site is a big deal and no one wants to delay it. If Li Dakang asks everyone to wait another year, I'm afraid many people will give up.

After all, it's not that others don't give you face, but that you didn't seize the opportunity, so you can't blame others.
