Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 949 Doubts

After discussing the specific terms of the agreement, it was already 5 p.m.

Gao Yuan said goodbye, "Tongwei, I'll go back to Heji to make arrangements. I'll leave the provincial party committee and government to you."

Qi Tongwei glanced at his watch. "It's so late. Why don't you leave tomorrow? You've come all this way, if I don't treat you to a meal, the teacher will say I haven't been hospitable enough."

Gao Yuan was worried about the wheat in the farmers' fields. "Next time, I'll treat you next time. I want to go back and arrange the work now so that the farmers can harvest the sprouted wheat as soon as possible."

His decisive and efficient demeanor does match his face.

Qi Tongwei said, "It will be eight or nine o'clock at night by the time you get back. You can't possibly go to the fields to harvest several crops of wheat."

I think it would be better to call them first and get them to mobilize the grain stations to notify people in various areas to harvest wheat. It's better than you wasting your time worrying on the road.

Gao Yuan thought about it and realized that made sense. "Alright then, but I'll treat you tonight. I have to thank you."

Qi Tongwei smiled and nodded, "Okay."

......

"Bang bang bang."

Niu Xiaobing was awakened by the sound of banging on the car door. When he opened his eyes, he saw Gao Yuan staring at him with a half-smile.

"How are you? Have you had enough sleep?"

Niu Xiaobing rolled his eyes at Gao Yuan, suppressed his morning grumpiness, put his feet off the center console, and pulled out a few tissues from his pocket to wipe the sweat from his neck.

"Director Gao, can we go back now?"

Gao Yuan didn't answer Niu Xiaobing's question, but looked at him very seriously.

“Niu Xiaobing, I’ve discovered that you do have some skills.”

"What skill?" Niu Xiaobing was stunned.

"Heat-resistant! Today the temperature reached a high of 35 degrees Celsius, and you were able to sleep in the car. I can't do that."

Niu Xiaobing immediately became furious, "You still dare to say that? We came to such a awful place, and they didn't even arrange a lounge for me."

"Didn't you say you were from the provincial department?" Gao Yuan laughed. He didn't believe this guy was the type to suffer a loss and stay quietly without making a fuss.

“I told them! It would have been better if I hadn’t. As soon as I did, they told me to go to the guesthouse across the street.”

"Then why don't you go to the guesthouse to rest?" Gao Yuan asked.

"Boss, it's a paid service, 100 yuan a day. I don't have that kind of money."

Gao Yuan laughed heartily, took out a hundred-yuan note from his pocket, thought for a moment, then took out a fifty-yuan note and handed it to Niu Xiaobing, "Alright, now you can go get a room and have a good rest."

Niu Xiaobing was stunned. "No, we're not going back?"

Gao Yuan laughed and said, "Didn't I say I was going to have dinner with Mayor Qi? It's not safe to travel too late. You can stay at the guesthouse across the street tonight. The extra fifty yuan is for your dinner."

This 150 yuan is a personal donation from me, so you don't need an invoice.

Niu Xiaobing then noticed that not far behind Gao Yuan, an Audi was starting up, and a person who looked like a secretary was standing next to the Audi, staring in their direction without moving.

Upon closer inspection of the license plate, it was confirmed to be Han D00002, the official vehicle of the mayor of Beishan City.

Niu Xiaobing's eyes almost popped out.

He didn't expect that this unassuming, good-natured director would actually be able to get an appointment with Qi Tongwei.

This is incredible news!

Looking at the Audi, various rumors became clear in his mind, and Niu Xiaobing couldn't help but feel a little fear.

"Director Gao...then...then I'll wait for you at the guesthouse. If you need anything...just give me a call." Niu Xiaobing felt his whole body go weak uncontrollably, and he started to stammer.

“Okay.” Gao Yuan glanced at Niu Xiaobing, then turned and walked towards the Audi.

Seeing Gao Yuanzhen get into car number 2, Niu Xiaobing slumped into the car.

Who the hell said this Director Gao is a pushover?!

No!

He can't be used as a pawn anymore; if he continues, he won't gain anything and will be brought down himself.

Niu Xiaobing hurriedly pulled out his phone from his pocket.

……

At nine o'clock in the morning, Qi Tongwei boarded the No. 2 car from Beishan and headed to the provincial capital, while Gao Yuan had already left Beishan before dawn.

On the way, Qi Tongwei first had the municipal finance department transfer 150 million yuan to the grain bureau's account.

Using Beishan as collateral, they communicated with the heads of several major provincial banks and secured a loan of 100 million yuan for the Grain Bureau.

With over 200 million yuan, the preliminary work for purchasing sprouted wheat in Heji City was able to proceed smoothly, and major grain stations opened their warehouses to begin purchasing sprouted wheat from farmers.

When Qi Tongwei's car arrived in the provincial capital, the situation in Heji City had stabilized somewhat.

Next, we need to raise more funds as soon as possible to cope with the continuous acquisitions.

Qi Tongwei went to the provincial party committee immediately, but unexpectedly, the provincial party secretary, Pei Yihong, went to Beijing for a meeting.

Qi Tongwei had no choice but to contact the other party by phone and report his thoughts to them.

Since it involves multiple departments, and he doesn't yet have that authority, he must first obtain the opinion of the provincial party committee leader.

Pei Yihong immediately expressed his support after hearing this.

He had no reason to disagree with such a good thing, which would not only enhance his reputation and win him popular support, but also allow him to make a large sum of money for no reason.

"Tongwei, your idea is very good. It has solved the province's urgent problem. However, I must remind you not to exhaust the resources."

These entrepreneurs, who were able to get rich first during the wave of reform, are all capable people.

If we take too much, they might harbor resentment.

"Yes, Secretary Pei, I understand, and I will definitely keep things in check."

Pei Yihong said, "You'd better not try to seize the opportunity. Aren't you about to go abroad for an inspection? This is important business, and you can't let other things distract you."

Here's what you should do: report this to Comrade Anbang and Comrade Huabei, and let them make the decision. Don't worry, you'll get all the credit for this."

Qi Tongwei laughed and said, "Secretary Pei, I knew nothing could be hidden from you. Now I'll go over and report."

"Go ahead," Pei Yihong hummed in agreement, but didn't hang up.

Since the leader hadn't hung up yet, Qi Tongwei naturally didn't dare to hang up first, much less put down the phone.

A moment later, Pei Yihong spoke again.

"Tongwei, what's your relationship with Zhao Xiaoya from Longteng Group?"

Qi Tongwei didn't understand why Pei Yihong asked this question, but he still honestly replied, "We have a pretty good relationship. You know, she helped me a lot to get where I am today."

Just as that internal report stated, the starting point of my career was entirely due to the Huaxia Red stone mine invested in by Longteng Group.

That funding gave Lone Eagle Town the opportunity to develop.

"Then tell me honestly, did you profit from this?"

"No," Qi Tongwei answered decisively. "My heart has always been in my official career. I'm not very interested in money, and I don't lack it."

Qi Tongwei's wife is the president of the multinational group Shengtian, with an annual salary and bonuses in the tens of millions, so there is indeed no need for her to embezzle.

Pei Yihong believed him somewhat. "That's good. What we officials are most afraid of is having problems with the economy. As long as there are no problems with the economy, it's very difficult for others to bring you down."

Qi Tongwei felt that Pei Yihong's words were quite meaningful. "Secretary Pei, is it... that something has happened to Zhao Xiaoya?"

Pei Yihong said, "Don't overthink it. I was just asking casually. Even though that internal report was suppressed, there are still people gossiping."

With your assurance, I feel much more at ease. Okay, I have to go to a meeting now, so I'll stop here.
