Chapter 916 Tianzhou’s Standing Committee Members (3)
Qi Tongwei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I really can't argue with you. Fine, I'll leave you a small bottle, just a small bottle, and take the rest back."
For something with such ambiguous value boundaries, Qi Tongwei doesn't mind keeping a little to enhance the relationship between both parties.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mi immediately smiled happily and happily placed the jar on the bed next door which was already piled with gifts.
While arranging the items, Zhou Mi took a sneak peek at the gifts given by others and found that they were just some seasonal fruits. He couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
It seems that my gift is still valuable, and this time the matter may be settled.
Thinking about it, he moved the wine jar to the middle, completely forgetting about the small bottle that Qi Tongwei mentioned.
Zhu Hongwen noticed the other party's little movements. He knew that Qi Tongwei always kept his word, and such behavior would only backfire.
"Hey, Lao Zhou, put the wine jar on the ground." He looked around the ward again, "There's nothing here to mess around with. Lao Zhou, how about this, you go down and get two bottles of mineral water. We can leave an example for the old leader later."
Zhou Mi was stunned and didn't quite react. Didn't the other party hint that he accepted it?
Seeing Zhu Hongwen giving him a strong look, he suddenly woke up and realized that he had misunderstood.
Qi Tongwei said to leave a small bottle, and he really did leave a small bottle. He nodded repeatedly and quickly walked out the door.
"Old leader, Comrade Zhou Mi is young and doesn't understand you, please don't blame me." Zhu Hongwen said apologetically.
Qi Tongwei waved his hand and said jokingly: "This is very similar to you back then."
Zhu Hongwen also laughed, "That's true, in the final analysis, it's because people's vision is not broad enough.
If people don't stand at a certain height, they won't be able to see many scenes thoroughly, carefully, or clearly.
At first, I always felt that you were here to take my place, so I was quite resistant and couldn't find the right position."
"what about now?"
"Now I understand. Even if you hadn't come, I wouldn't have been eligible for this position. The province wants a reform leader, and although I appear to have enough experience, I'm actually a million miles away from that.
Being able to become the director and solve the problem of the level of director is already the best option.
It is because of your generosity, old leader. If it were anyone else, I would not be in this position as director, but would end up in Seoul Prison instead."
The Hancheng Prison mentioned by Zhu Hongwen is a prison on the Han River that specifically detains corrupt officials, and is similar to the famous Qincheng Prison.
The only difference is the level, which is different from Qincheng where there is no upper limit.
Most of the people held in Seoul Prison are bureau-level officials, and a small number of division-level officials, mainly provincial officials.
Qi Tongwei was very pleased, "It's great that you can figure this out.
Many of our comrades simply fail to see through this point and fail to put themselves in the right position.
I always wonder how to seize more power and build personal fame.
In the end, many things that shouldn't have happened were done, causing immeasurable losses to the Party and the people."
Zhu Hongwen understood that Qi Tongwei was talking about Long Fuhai, so he followed up with a sigh: "Power is such a fascinating thing.
There will always be many people who can't see through it and can't let it go, but they don't know that this behavior will only hurt others and themselves."
Qi Tongwei smiled meaningfully, "Old Zhu, I find that you are really right to be the director, and your summary is very good.
I hope you can apply this summary to yourself, so that we can be worthy of being colleagues."
Zhu Hongwen chuckled, knowing he had been seen through, "Old leader, I'm just an ordinary person, how can I reach such a high level.
Don't think that what I said makes sense, but when it comes to me, I can't escape the same fate.
People are like this, knowing and doing are two completely different things.
But I can guarantee one thing, that is, I will never do something as outrageous as Long Fuhai did."
"Really?" Qi Tongwei simply broke the news. "Well, tell me, what benefits did you receive from Zhou Mi?"
Whenever Zhu Hongwen came to see him before, he would bring a lot of people with him, but this time he only brought one. How could he hide this little trick from him?
Zhu Hongwen said, "Old leader, whether you believe it or not, I really did not confiscate anything from Zhou Mi this time."
Qi Tongwei didn't believe it, "Oh, when did you, Old Zhu, start doing business that loses money?"
Zhu Hongwen shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Okay, okay, old leader, you are right to say that I accepted a benefit, but this benefit of mine is not money or any material things."
"Oh? That's quite interesting. Tell me about it."
Zhu Hongwen no longer concealed anything and told everyone his plan in detail.
He recommended Zhou Mi to Qi Tongwei entirely for the purpose of making plans for his future.
Ultimately, it is power that dazzles the eyes.
He will retire in two or three years. Once a person retires, no matter how prominent his status was during his lifetime, he will become an ordinary old man.
In order to avoid being forgotten after his death, Zhu Hongwen hoped to leave some political resources for himself in the future by giving Zhou Mi a push.
You can borrow the other party's name and say a few words in the small area of Han River.
So that’s how it is. Qi Tongwei believed it a little more.
"So this is what you call not out of line. It really is not out of line. I just think a little long-term."
Zhu Hongwen smiled sheepishly, then cautiously probed Qi Tongwei's attitude: "Old leader, what do you think of Zhou Mi? Is he reliable? If I push him today, will he turn against me?"
"It's hard to say. It's not uncommon to see people demolishing bridges after crossing them, or even pulling out ladders after ascending them." Qi Tongwei glanced at Zhu Hongwen and said, "I say, you recommended me? Don't you have any idea of this person's character? At least you should know something about him."
Zhu Hongwen said: "You can know a person's face but not his heart.
I know him quite well. He is also a celebrity in our Han River.
At that time, he was known as one of the youngest department-level cadres in Hanjiang.
Of course, compared with the old leaders, this is far worse.
However, it is not easy to reach this point with a poor background.
Unfortunately, to survive in politics, you need more than just ability; you also need political resources. Without them, everything is in vain.”
Qi Tongwei raised his eyebrows and said, "So you recommended him to me? You want me to be his political resource?"
Zhu Hongwen waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile: "Old leader, I absolutely did not mean that.
I just think you're in need of someone, so if you can use me, I'd consider it."
Qi Tongwei didn't continue teasing the other party and interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Okay, I'll consider it if there's a suitable position."
After hearing Qi Tongwei's promise, Zhu Hongwen revealed his true purpose, "Old leader, there is actually a suitable position now."
Qi Tongwei was puzzled.
"Old leader, I heard that there will be big changes in Tianzhou this time? What do you think..."
The news that the provincial party committee is going to give Tianzhou a major reshuffle has been circulating for a long time.
Many people who are in bad positions are trying to move around and move down, and Zhou Mi is no exception.
It is true that Zhou Mi is the deputy mayor of the provincial capital, but his ranking is very low.
As the saying goes, if you are an official, don’t be a deputy; if you are a deputy, be a regular executive.
Without the title of executive officer, the deputy mayor has very little power, especially in a place like the provincial capital, where he has so many bosses above him that he has no say at all.
So Zhou Mi set his sights on Tianzhou.
Qi Tongwei said angrily: "Old Zhu, you really think highly of me. Do I have such great power to arrange the position of the top leader of Tianzhou?"
Under normal circumstances, when a deputy mayor of a provincial capital is transferred to a local area, he will be promoted.
If Zhou Mi were to go down to the local level, and the mayor remained unchanged, he would only be left with the position of municipal party secretary.
It’s not that Qi Tongwei can’t do it, but he can’t possibly go to so much trouble for someone who hasn’t signed in yet.
Zhu Hongwen knew that Qi Tongwei had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "Old leader, you have misunderstood. How could I dare to dream of becoming the Secretary of the Tianzhou Municipal Party Committee? I just wanted to see if I could give him the title of Standing Committee member."
