Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 383 Consultation Meeting

Jin Qi and the others were a little surprised. They didn't expect that this would attract the interest of the leaders. You know, the interest of the leaders of the State Planning Commission would mean tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of subsidies.

Does the city dare to resist the Planning Commission? It is absolutely impossible. Any large-scale project must be approved by the Planning Commission. Once there is a little disrespect, the leaders will be strangled. It is no exaggeration to say that the deputy director of the Planning Commission is extremely powerful.

Not to mention other people, just Director Tang, when he arrives in the province, is the guest of honor of the provincial party committee leaders. The main leaders may not meet him, but several deputy provincial governors will definitely come out to meet him.

However, Director Tang obviously did not want to have too much contact with local officials. Even the official letter of notification was sent in the afternoon, which was his personal time.

This may be related to his previous work at the State Administration of Work Safety. When that unit came to the local area, most of the time they were armed with machetes and looking for trouble. They would try their best to avoid much contact with local cadres and go directly to perform their tasks to avoid being influenced in their judgment.

Some other leaders of the State Planning Commission still enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention, because they usually lived in the capital, and although they were extremely powerful, they had to be humble because there were too many big shots in the capital.

Directors and deputy directors of ministries and commissions usually regard serving in local areas as promotion for the reason mentioned above. Although they are bureau-level cadres, they are not that powerful in Beijing. There are still a lot of superiors above them, as well as other systems. When Qi Tongwei was in Beijing, he met a lieutenant general who got on the bus with a preferential card.

The cadres who ride bicycles to work on Xi'an Avenue are generally at the division level or above, and bureau and ministerial levels are not uncommon. Only the truly powerful leaders ride in cars.

The department level is not very noticeable in the capital. In their own words, it is just a clerk with a higher salary. But it is a very different story when they go to the grassroots level.

In a regional city, only the heads of the four teams are at the bureau level. The deputy bureau-level officials are already the celebrities of the whole city. They are flattered by others wherever they go, and they stand in the middle when taking photos, with their hands behind their backs and their bellies sticking out.

However, Director Tang is obviously not such a person. Qi Tongwei feels that his awareness is much higher than his own. If he were a middle-level manager at the department or bureau level in a ministry, he would also enjoy the feeling of being served by others when he goes to the local level.

Director Tang only ate a few bites of this seafood feast and kept reading the documents with a frown on his brow. Qi Tongwei wanted to eat a few bites of the yellow croaker, but seeing that the director was busy, he put away his chopsticks in embarrassment. No one at the table moved their chopsticks, waiting for Director Tang to finish reading.

Qi Tongwei touched Jin Xinkai with his hand.

"Brother, I'm starving. When can I eat?"

Jin Xinkai responded softly.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Look around, none of the department heads in the ministry are moving their chopsticks.

We can't lose face, be more energetic."

"Is it that our table doesn't suit the taste of the northerners?"

Jin Xinkai laughed. He suddenly felt that the conversation between the two was becoming more and more like that of local cadres who grew up in Dong'ou. Neither of them was a local, but they had been working here for a long time and had increasingly integrated their mentality into the place.

At first, he couldn't get used to the light local seafood, which used very little salt and no chili at all. But as time went by, he began to enjoy the unique flavor of seafood, and his lifestyle became more and more in line with the local customs.

So Jin Xinkai thought about it and asked anyway.

"Old leader, why don't we eat first?

Study the documents later?"

Director Tang seemed to have just woken up from a dream.

"Okay, why don't you eat?

This fish tastes really good.

What is this?

Qi Tongwei started to answer questions.

"Boss, this is Buddha's hand, which is actually a type of barnacle. It tastes very good and can be eaten like melon seeds."

...........

Qi Tongwei began to get restless in the conference room. The two of them represented the High-tech Zone. The leaders from the city were of very high standard. Except for Mayor Chen who was attending a meeting in Beijing, the other two of the three giants of the Municipal Party Committee were all here. Secretary Black Bear was smiling and holding hands with Director Tang. Director Tang, who had a serious poker face, could actually force out a smile.

"Brother, why is Director Tang smiling? This is the first time I've seen him."

Jin Xinkai also laughed.

"Isn't this strange? Why was I transferred to Dongou City?"

"The Black Bear... Secretary Lu transferred here. That's what people say outside, but you didn't tell me."

Jin: "Of course it's true, otherwise why would I be so lawless here and scold people after meetings? It's all because Black Bear... Secretary Lu is protecting me.

I almost got led astray by you, but this image is really similar. I wonder if he would steal the robes at night.

Director Tang and Secretary Lu have a very good personal relationship. It seems that they were both transferred from the same army in the 1970s.

I came here because Director Tang introduced Secretary Lu to me, and because of the knife attack I received that time, he took the initiative to help me find him. "

Qi Tongwei was suddenly shocked.

"Will he turn his butt towards the city later?"

"No, no, stop talking, they're looking over here."

Secretary Black Bear had indeed come to look.

"What are you two whispering about down there?"

Qi Tongwei could only sit up straight.

"No, I said the secretary has a good idea."

Only Jin Xinkai understood, because he also watched the movie "The Final Battle" and was trying hard to hold back his laughter.

"You two, do you want to rebel or make trouble this time?"

"No no."

Jin Qi and the other man immediately sat up straight.

"Captain Tang, you have now been transferred from the department that causes trouble (the State Administration of Work Safety) to the department that helps (the Planning Commission).

We have to come up with some good policies this time."

When it comes to business, Director Tang returns to his usual poker face.

“Secretary Lu, please don’t try to get too close to me.

Our deputy director said that your city has already received many preferential policies, and this time the three highway projects are a huge investment.

You all feel that it is unfair in your own province.

Besides, I'm only from the High-Tech Department and I'm not in charge of any big projects, so don't have any expectations of me.

I just came to see the company in which our Hi-Tech Division has a stake.”

Lu Xuwei was a little confused. It was normal for him as the top leader not to be clear about the details below, so he turned to look at the executive vice mayor who was accompanying him.

The deputy mayor immediately walked over and started whispering in Lu Xuwei's ear.

"Oh oh, it's still like this.

My, your company really picked up a big project for nothing, and only spent so little money. If there were dividends this year, it might be more than what you invested."

"Secretary Lu, that's not what I meant. You have received so many preferential policies, they must have been given by our company. That little bit of money is just a symbol..."
