Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 527 Feudal Superstition

"No, I really have no excuse. The previous Director An already allocated 20 million. If he wants to allocate another 20 million, it will definitely lead to an investigation from above. He is not a fool."

He Anxia asked again: "What was his ending? Was he brought down?"

"Of course." Lin Gangjian nodded, "How can we miss if we're being aimed at by a cannon?

The lessons learned by the five transportation ministers have finally made the later ones smarter.

Rather than spending 20 million on others, it would be better to spend it on himself, so the sixth director moved out of the location opposite the Artillery Academy on the grounds that the Transportation Department was inconveniently located.

So, Comrade Anxia, ​​some things really cannot be explained by common sense."

Qi Tongwei smiled and asked, "Then Secretary Gangjian, why are you still willing to live here? Aren't you afraid of being affected?"

Lin Gangjian replied, "I'm already old, and I've long since lost interest in it. Besides, the lessons learned from the Artillery Academy incident were all directed at the top leaders. Facts have proven that the top leaders of our party and government have indeed changed quite frequently in recent years."

The three of them walked side by side on the colorful avenue divided by swaying leaves. The breeze blew by, and the fallen leaves fluttered down. The slight coolness in the early autumn morning made the hairs on He Anxia's back stand up.

Qi Tongwei didn't care. He had a system, his physical fitness was far superior to that of ordinary people, and he held a high position.

To explain it in Taoist terms, as the son of destiny with a pure yang body and protected by imperial energy, no evil spirits or monsters can get close to him.

"Rumors are just rumors after all. I've gotten to know those party secretaries and mayors. Their downfall was entirely their own fault. Beishan City is already a poor place, and their involvement is too obvious. Who else should we arrest if not them?

Besides, this little red building was only built with earth brought from the south, so it has nothing to do with the blood-stained rumors.”

As they were talking, they had already reached the entrance of the archway.

Qi Tongwei stopped, turned around and looked up at the top of the archway. The three big characters "Warning Building" were written in a flamboyant style.

"If I really offended someone, it was Elder Wang. Even after Elder Wang's warning, I still didn't clean myself up. How could Elder Wang's spirit in heaven not be angry? Comrade Gangjian, what do you think?"

Lin Gangjian was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Comrade Tongwei, it's not wrong to think so.

However, you only know one side of the story about the Little Red Building, and many people don’t even know that there is a story behind it.”

"Any more stories?"

“Yes, it is true that the soil for this little red building was transported from the south, but think about it, would the Qing government be so kind as to spend manpower and resources to build a little red building for the Eagle people?

According to the information I found in my spare time, the red soil used by the Qing government was taken from mass graves.

Think about it, isn't the soil taken from the mass grave unlucky?

Furthermore, in various Chinese folklore, red represents killing and strangeness. In Taoism, cinnabar is red, representing repression…”

"Okay, okay, Comrade Gangjian, it's inappropriate for the three secretaries of our Beishan City to discuss this here." Qi Tongwei interrupted, glancing at the red flag fluttering not far away.

Can you say this?

Being linked to something, losing your job is the least of your worries.

He Anxia followed Qi Tongwei's gaze and was also startled. "That's right, Comrade Gangjian, don't publicize this kind of thing in the future. Feudal superstition is not acceptable. This time, Comrade Tongwei and I will pretend that we didn't hear it."

“Oh, no…”

Lin Gangjian was about to speak when He Anxia interrupted him, "By the way, Comrade Gangjian, we have organized party and government officials to go down and visit and comfort the people today. Let's go together."

Lin Gangjian was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved his hand and pointed at his legs, saying, "Forget it, Comrade Anxia. I'll just sit in the Municipal Party Committee compound with my old arms and legs. I'll retire in two years, so I'll leave this opportunity to show up to the public to you young people."

Since he did not take up the positions of municipal party committee secretary and mayor, Lin Gangjian was not interested in such opportunities to appear in public.

What he wants is to be the center of attention and be the biggest one, not to follow two young people around as a follower and a foil.

Qi Tongwei and the other man looked at each other and didn't force it.

He Anxia looked at his watch and said, "Okay, then Comrade Tongwei and I will go first. Since Comrade Gangjian has difficulty walking, please walk slowly."

"Okay, okay, you go, you go." Lin Gangjian waved his hand.

Knowing that He Anxia had something to say, Qi Tongwei quickened his pace.

He Anxia took a quick glance back after keeping some distance from Lin Gangjian, then leaned towards Qi Tongwei and asked, "So, what do you think of our deputy secretary?"

Qi Tongwei looked around at the scenery and casually said, "Superstitious old man."

"I don't think so. I think it's the cunning old man."

Qi Tongwei glanced at He Anxia, ​​then returned to the scenery outside the red wall, "What do you mean?"

"Look at him. He seems to be talking about the origins of this little red building, but he's actually testing us and putting psychological pressure on us. If we're superstitious or don't live honestly, that'll play right into his hands. We'll definitely have trouble eating and sleeping. If we start praying to gods or Buddhas again, we'll be caught."

Qi Tongwei was convinced when he heard this. "Then he miscalculated. We are rare gentlemen who live openly and honestly."

He Anxia laughed, "That's not right. We are upright, but I don't think you are frank enough."

"What do you mean?" Qi Tongwei was confused.

"The last time I went to your house for dinner, I saw that your nanny seemed to treat you like..."

"What babysitter? My family has never hired a babysitter... Are you talking about Liang Meng?"

"It seems to be called this name."

"Stop talking nonsense, that's the new manager of my Luo Qian company." Qi Tongwei's expression remained unchanged.

"Stop talking nonsense like I'm a three-year-old kid. I'm almost a generation older than you, and you don't have such vision?"

"Whether you believe it or not, we have nothing to do with each other." Qi Tongwei said with a lack of confidence, and then he counterattacked: "Don't think that everyone is like you. Tell me, what is your relationship with the proprietress of Guangming Lakeside?"

Now it was He Anxia's turn to lose his composure.

"Hey, hey, don't say anything nonsense, we are just friends."

"You feel guilty!"

"I don't!"

"Absolutely!"

"..."

...

After bickering all the way to the Party and Government Building, the two men finally returned to their serious demeanor.

In the Party and Government Building, all the Standing Committee members and deputy mayors were already waiting in the conference room, on full alert.

Qi Tongwei said to Xu Lian without further ado, "Comrade Xu Lian, you will take command now. We will all follow you. As a guide, you must lead us to discover any problems. Otherwise, you are not a good guide."

"Yes, I will definitely take you all to see the real Beishan City." Xu Lian stood up with a smile. "Well, Secretary He, Mayor Qi, and everyone, please move on. The car has been arranged. Our first stop is the Hangang Group in Tiexi District!"
