Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 887: Tianzhou Situation Changes Again

The situation in Tianzhou is changing rapidly.

A few days ago, Long Fuhai, the local tyrant who had been powerful in Tianzhou City for decades, suddenly suspended all his duties.

When everyone speculated that Tianzhou was about to usher in the era of the Sha Rui Jinsha family gang.

Unexpectedly, after just a few days, Long Fuhai would return strongly and take power again.

This dramatic change caused an uproar throughout Tianzhou.

It is really incredible that he was able to escape and return to Tianzhou under such irrefutable evidence.

Just when everyone was wondering what happened, a piece of news spread throughout Tianzhou at lightning speed.

Cao Hongguang, former Minister of Industry and former Deputy Secretary of the Hanjiang Provincial Party Committee, visited Hanjiang.

He was personally welcomed by Pei Yihong, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Zhao Anbang, Governor of the Province, and Yu Huabei, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. The scene was extremely grand.

Who is Cao Hongguang?

Let’s put it this way, newcomers in recent years may have rarely heard of this person’s name, but if you go back five years, it can be said that he was known to everyone.

He has been in politics for decades, reaching the rank of minister. His students and former officials are spread all over the Han River, and even the current provincial party secretary has benefited from his favor.

For the cadres in Tianzhou, the other party had another identity, the old leader of Long Fuhai, who was the secretary of the Tianzhou Municipal Party Committee at the time.

It was with this person's promotion that Long Fuhai stepped up to his current position step by step.

It is because of this person that Long Fuhai has been able to dominate Tianzhou for so many years.

The former minister's brilliant appearance was like a bombshell, instantly reversing the situation in Tianzhou and making the already complicated situation even more confusing.

Sha Ruijin felt this change the most deeply.

Several fence-sitters who had originally supported Sha Ruijin turned against him.

Even the executive vice mayor Jia Shangwen, whom he had spent half a year to win over, had turned his back on him without even saying goodbye to him.

Sha Ruijin realized that the situation had changed and became extremely unfavorable to him.

He was an outsider cadre who neither showed the amazing abilities of Qi Tongwei nor demonstrated a deep background.

Over the past year, he has been suppressed by Long Fuhai.

At this moment, I'm afraid everyone in Tianzhou thinks that after Long Fuhai returns, Sha Ruijin will be defeated.

In the office, Gong Qinglin, the youngest member of the Tianzhou Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee, paced back and forth anxiously in front of Sha Ruijin, making Sha Ruijin dizzy.

But Sha Ruijin did not blame him at all, instead he felt relieved.

At least he still has a die-hard fan now, an unexpected die-hard ally.

Sha Ruijin sighed that Qi Tongwei was really charming. Just one conversation made this young cadre completely loyal to him.

Unlike himself, several of his close allies just got away with it.

"Mayor Sha, we have to think of a solution quickly. Long Fuhai has returned this time, bringing with him the power of Minister Cao. The two of us can't handle it alone."

Minister Cao was so famous that the wind direction in Tianzhou had changed before he even arrived there.

The good situation that was accumulated with great difficulty was gone in an instant. If Qi Tongwei had not asked him to support Sha Ruijin, even he would have run away.

Sha Ruijin was very calm. He thought, he was just a retired minister. He was here, so why should he be dismissed?

He believed that the Hanjiang Provincial Party Committee would never allow the other party to act recklessly.

Besides, he is not a pushover. If the old minister dares to act recklessly, his uncles and aunts behind him will definitely take action.

The main problem he faces now is still Long Fuhai. He wonders what kind of show the other party will prepare for him this time.

"Hey, Qinglian, don't be anxious. Long Fuhai is back, so what's the big deal? The Provincial Party Committee didn't remove him from his position. It's normal for him to come back to preside over the work." In front of Gong Qinglian, Sha Ruijin remained calm in order to stabilize people's hearts.

"Normal?" Gong Qinglian's eyes widened in disbelief. "Mayor Sha, how can you be so... so... childish?

You don't know Minister Cao's reputation.

In this way, you can go to the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government now and you will know.

Almost all the department- and bureau-level cadres from the two teams went to Long Fuhai's home.

Even your deputy mayor Jia Shangwen immediately switched sides when he heard Minister Cao's name.

I’m afraid there will be no place for us in Tianzhou anymore.”

Sha Ruijin smiled and said: "It's not that exaggerated. We are cadres appointed by the Hanjiang Provincial Party Committee. Even if we want to be removed from our posts, it is up to the Hanjiang Provincial Party Committee to have the final say.

Long Fuhai doesn't have this power yet, and retired Minister Cao certainly doesn't have it either."

Gong Qinglian said: "Yes, they don't have the power, but they can use the power to tie us up." After a pause, he explained: "Mayor Sha, I don't care about my official hat, but what about our newly started work?

I heard that flood prevention work in the Black Triangle Development Zone has been halted. It's rained a lot these past few days. What if something happens at this critical moment? What do you think we'll do?

"What!? Who told them to stop?" Sha Ruijin was extremely surprised.

Flood prevention is a very important task, and how dare these people neglect their duties?!

Gong Qinglian smiled bitterly. "Who else could it be? Power! With the transfer of power in Tianzhou, your words are no longer effective, so they won't listen."

Sha Ruijin got angry and picked up the phone. "I will call the comrades in the Black Triangle now. Flood prevention work must not stop." He was about to dial.

Gong Qinglian stopped him and said, "Mayor Sha, I advise you not to fight.

Because beating is useless, now Long Fuhai is back.

Even if you give them instructions, they will find excuses to delay, or simply give you verbal promises without you knowing what they actually do.

Now Sha Ruijin was completely anxious. It was the rainy season for the Han River, with more rain than sunny days. If it was delayed any further, big problems might arise one day.

"In that case, I will go and supervise the battle myself." Sha Ruijin frowned and called Hong Ping'an, the director of the government office, to ask him to arrange a car.

Then he picked up his briefcase and walked out the door. Seeing this, Gong Qinglian hurriedly followed him.

As soon as I walked out of the city government gate, I met another unexpected person.

"Secretary Ma, why are you here?"

Ma Lifeng smiled bitterly: "Mayor Sha, if I'm not here, where else can I go?"

As a confidant who has followed Long Fuhai for many years, she knows too well the consequences of betraying Long Fuhai.

Before coming here, she even called Qi Tongwei, hoping to be transferred to Beishan, but was rejected by Qi Tongwei.

Qi Tongwei asked her to stay close to Sha Ruijin and told her that as long as she stayed close to Sha Ruijin, absolutely nothing would happen.

Ma Lifeng had no choice but to come and see Sha Ruijin.

Sha Ruijin understood what the other party meant after just a moment's thought.

Sha Ruijin extended his hand to Ma Lifeng, expressing his true acceptance, and said, "Comrade Lifeng, it's great that you can come. Now, I have two more great generals by my side.

Back then, I was able to gain a foothold in Tianzhou with the help of two great generals. I believe that today, I am just starting over again."

Listening to Sha Ruijin's lofty ambitions, Ma Lifeng was excited and stretched out his hand to shake hands tightly with Sha Ruijin.

The broad palm suddenly gave Ma Lifeng a sense of security.

For the first time, Ma Lifeng looked the parachuted mayor in the eye.

She found that Mayor Sha was much better than Long Fuhai.

Whether it is his demeanor, resume or physical aura, he has an unstoppable feeling.

Maybe this is what a real man is.
