Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 881 Ancient Secretary

After separating from Zhong Wei, Pei Yihong went to Haifengze Garden in South China alone.

Fengze Garden is located in the center of Beijing, between Huahai and Nanhai, on the west bank.

It was first built during the Qing Dynasty and was the place where the Qing emperors encouraged people to engage in agriculture and sericulture and to cultivate and rent out farmland.

After the establishment of the Huaxia State, it became the place where the leaders lived and worked.

Walking into Fengze Garden, what catches your eye is the ripples of green bamboo in the corner and the fragrance of lotus floating in the air.

In the secluded places with winding paths, courtyards with green bricks and black tiles stand quietly like poems.

Pei Yihong didn't bother to appreciate the scenery step by step, but expressed his wish to meet Secretary Gu to the staff.

He had been in the capital for several days, and there was a lot of work in the province waiting for him to deal with when he returned, so he was a little impatient.

After going through layers of notifications, about half an hour later, Pei Yihong finally stepped into the inner room.

The moment I pushed the door open, the aroma of sandalwood and the warm light slanting through the window came rushing in. Secretary Gu was hunched over his desk reviewing documents, his wrist holding the pen hovering like a pine tree, and his back looked like an unsigned landscape painting.

Whenever he saw Secretary Gu, Pei Yihong would feel the familiar feeling of "being bathed in spring breeze" in his heart.

The feeling is not as light as the spring breeze, but more like the still water in a deep pool. No matter how big the waves are outside, there will always be no ripples here.

Secretary Gu, sixty years old, took office last year. He always wore a pair of old-fashioned glasses, which obscured his dark eyebrows and features, but still couldn't hide his gentle, jade-like features.

The years have left fine lines at the corners of his eyes, but these lines cannot conceal the strong scholarly air about him.

What he admired most was the humility that flowed from the secretary's every gesture. It was not a pretentious courtesy, but the gentlemanly character that came from his bones.

When talking with Gu, he would always listen patiently, nodding gently when he was at a loss for words, and clearing the fog with a few words of advice.

But in front of this secretary, even the most pressing issues seemed to have been smoothed over by time, leaving only a room of clear light, quietly waiting for the answers to settle in the tea mist.

This kind of gentlemanly demeanor is indeed like a lone pine standing in a bustling city - neither arrogant nor humble, but with lasting peace and sincerity, he makes all the impetuous people around him feel ashamed.

Pei Yihong couldn't help but secretly admire: It turns out that the four words "modest as jade" can be so vividly portrayed in one person.

Hearing the noise, Secretary Gu raised his head and said with a smile: "Yihong, how is it going? Is everything going well?"

"It went quite smoothly." Pei Yihong reported the old comrades' thoughts.

After listening to Pei Yihong's report, Secretary Gu adjusted his glasses and said after a moment of contemplation, "What Elder Xia said really hits the nail on the head.

In the development process of the socialist market economy in the new era, private enterprises, as an important part of the national economy, must not only release vitality and promote innovation, but also adhere to the bottom line and fulfill their responsibilities.

We must ensure timely control of the development of private enterprises and guide them onto a healthy and orderly track.

The socialist system provides a broad stage for the development of private capital, but it will never allow its disorderly expansion.

Our policies have always emphasized that the private economy must operate within the framework of the rule of law and grow in serving national strategies.

Disorderly development will not only disrupt market order and aggravate resource waste, but may also deviate from the goal of socialist common prosperity.

Therefore, I think that while we are implementing policies, we must not forget a very important task, which is to enhance the sense of responsibility of private enterprises.

Private enterprises must be made aware that development is not a mad dash on a "single-plank bridge", but a journey together on the "Sunny Road".

While pursuing economic benefits, we must also anchor ourselves to social responsibility and steer ourselves to the national interest, so that both economic and social benefits can be achieved.”

Pei Yihong nodded, "Yes, our understanding on this point is still insufficient.

On the way here, I reviewed the private enterprises in Hanjiang, and found that many of them had such problems.

I plan to go back and have a good talk with Comrade Anbang about this issue, and to promptly correct the various problems in economic development."

Secretary Gu nodded and said, "Well, it would be best to summarize the experience and explore the way for other provinces and cities. Speaking of which, this can also be regarded as reform and exploration." He paused and asked again: "By the way, how much do you know about this Longteng Group?

Why is it that this company is causing such a stir in the stock market, and our relevant departments haven't responded?"

"This..." Pei Yihong hesitated whether to say it.

"Why? Is there another story in it?"

"The composition of this Longteng Group is very complicated."

"Oh?" Secretary Gu looked at Pei Yihong with an inquiring look.

"The chairman of Longteng Group is Zhao Xiaoya, 30 years old. Her father is Zhao Lichun, the governor of Handong Province, and her husband is the second son of Comrade Guo Ming of the China Securities Regulatory Commission." Pei Yihong said while paying attention to Secretary Gu's expression.

When he heard Zhao Lichun's name, Secretary Gu frowned slightly. When he heard Comrade Guo Ming's name, Secretary Gu's gentle face showed a little surprise.

How can I not be surprised? Who would believe that there is no problem here?

"Hmm?" Secretary Gu paused for a moment. "So, here... OK, OK, I get it."

Secretary Gu stopped there and didn't say anything else.

Knowing that this topic was not suitable for him, Pei Yihong changed the subject and said, "Secretary, how should we deal with Comrade Qi Tongwei from our province? I would like to ask for your guidance."

Secretary Gu was about to speak when his secretary walked in.

"Secretary, Vice Director Zhong is here."

As a vice-committee member, Zhong Wei does not have to go through as much trouble as Pei Yihong when meeting Secretary Gu.

"Invite him in."

"Okay." The secretary turned and left.

Secretary Gu smiled at Pei Yihong and said, "Look, you two are still asking me how to deal with this. Isn't it obvious?"

Pei Yihong also laughed.

It is rare to see two heavyweights, a vice-chairman of the National Academy and a provincial party secretary, intercede for Qi Tongwei.

Zhong Wei was not surprised to see Pei Yihong when he came in.

The two had already communicated with each other and were in agreement on how to deal with the issue of Qi Tongwei.

This involves both personal feelings and the careers of both individuals.

Beishan, where Qi Tongwei is in charge, is not an ordinary prefecture-level city.

It is extremely important both in terms of national strategic position and industrial position.

At the same time, it also serves as a model pilot for the country's economic transformation.

Therefore, Qi Tongwei cannot fall, and Beishan cannot collapse.

Can Beishan rise? This is a very important political achievement for both of them.

It will also determine to a large extent Pei Yihong's next promotion.

The two smiled at each other, their respective purposes being self-evident.

Secretary Gu jokingly said, "Comrade Zhong Wei, you are all here to force the emperor to abdicate."

Zhong Wei explained with a smile: "Secretary Gu is joking. How dare we force the emperor to abdicate? We just think that some things still need to be investigated. Comrade Qi Tongwei was promoted by me from Handong to Hanjiang.

To be honest, I still trust this comrade's character."

Secretary Gu smiled and said, "You should trust him. After all, he is your daughter's savior.

He was shot for your daughter, so you should speak up for him."
