Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 808 The Charm of Victoria Harbour

Deputy Director Tang said that it was in this bathhouse that Zhao Anbang took an important step in his official career.

To be precise, it is on the original site of this international hotel.

Over the past decade, the world has changed dramatically. The former public bathhouse has become an international hotel. The small-time deputy county head for industry has also become a highly sought-after figure in Hanjiang: the executive vice governor.

Then he thought of another supporting role, no, it should be considered the protagonist. At that time, that person was the real protagonist, because the other party was higher than Zhao Anbang in both level and influence.

But the dramatic thing is that the protagonist did not climb that fast, and gradually became Zhao Anbang's background wall and supporting role in this story.

Many people can't even remember the name.

Deputy Director Tang really couldn't remember, so he asked everyone, "What was the name of the director of the military industrial enterprise who met with Zhao Anbang at that time? Is he still working in Wenshan?"

Wen Qiang said, "Yes, he is. He is the executive vice mayor of Wenshan City. Some time ago, he represented the Wenshan Municipal Government and had a conversation with me. He asked our provincial department to intervene and arrest the owner of a cable factory."

"What's your name?" asked Deputy Director Tang.

"Call... call... call Ma... Mada, yes, call Mada."

When Ma Da was mentioned, Zhu Hongwen also remembered, "I know the Ma Da you mentioned. This comrade will soon take up his post in our Beishan."

Wen Qiang suddenly laughed. "Then you're in for some fun. From what I know, this guy is a real troublemaker in Hanjiang's officialdom. He has a lot of responsibility for Wenshan's current situation."

Zhu Hongwen said: "No way! I heard he's a pretty decent person."

"He's quite decent, but his abilities are too poor. Besides, in the officialdom, if you're decent, who would dare to be close friends with you? Right?

When we are in the officialdom, what matters is to be humble and modest. You say you are being honest and upright, but are you just pretending to be so?

"And this guy is no good. He likes to tell tales, just like Tian Fengyi in Wenshan. Take what happened today, for example. If he knew about it, he would definitely make a big deal about it and report it to the Provincial Party Committee."

Zhu Hongwen smiled and said, "It's not that exaggerated."

Wen Qiang didn't say much, "You'll understand when you experience it."

Zhu Hongwen thought that he probably wouldn't be able to experience it, and if anyone wanted to experience it, it would be his Mayor Qi. According to the promise Mayor Qi made to him, he would probably be gone by this time next year, so he didn't care about the motor.

Ma Da, the supporting character, only briefly mentioned the story, and Deputy Director Tang then continued to tell everyone about the glorious history of the protagonist Zhao Anbang.

The ancients said: "Using people as a mirror, we can understand gains and losses; using history as a mirror, we can understand the rise and fall of things."

History is like a mirror, which overlaps greatly at certain moments, and Deputy Director Tang feels this way at this moment.

After finishing his story, he felt more and more that today's Naked Conference would also leave a mark in the political history of Han River, just like Zhao Anbang did more than a decade ago.

For a moment, he said to everyone with great pride: "Speaking of which, we are quite a bit like Zhao Anbang in the past today. Believe it or not, we will have a place in Hanjiang in the future."

"Believe it, of course I believe it."

"necessary!"

"Then let's make a deal. If one of us becomes successful in the future, we must remember 'If you become rich and powerful, don't forget me!'"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone laughed knowingly and echoed: "That's natural, that's natural."

"If I hang out with Director Wen and Director Tang, I'm sure I'll have a good life!"

"Yes, Director Wen, Director Tang, from now on, wherever you two point the way, we will charge!"

The atmosphere in the hot spring suddenly became very lively.

Seeing this, Wen Qiang smiled and said, "Okay, since you brothers trust me, I will lead you to charge the high ground later. Brothers, don't show your fear and let the Hong Kong girls laugh at us."

"How could that be possible? We are all veterans of the battlefield. We can easily kill a weak woman."

Deputy Captain Sui interrupted, "Brothers, we can't underestimate the enemy. We still need to make preparations. I have a few bottles of tiger bone wine at home. Brothers, do you want to replenish it first?"

"Good boy, you still have this thing, hurry up and bring it to me."

"Wait a moment, I'll have someone bring it over right away." Deputy Captain Sui crawled out naked to make a phone call.

Wen Qiang patted Zhu Hongwen on the shoulder and said, "Brothers, this time, we have to thank Mayor Zhu!

If it weren't for Mayor Chu, we wouldn't have had the chance to see the beauty of Victoria Harbour."

Everyone turned to Zhu Hongwen and expressed their gratitude. Zhu Hongwen smiled and waved his hand, indicating that everyone should be welcome.

Wen Qiang said, "Yes, there's no need to be polite to Mayor Hong Wen. If you become rich and powerful, don't forget us.

We are all one family. I hope Mayor Zhu will support us more in the future! Hahaha."

Zhu Hongwen laughed and said, "Old Wen, please stop joking with me. How can I help you? You are all young and strong, and it is time for you to make great achievements. As for me, I will soon be retiring. In the future, you can come to me for tea, chat and play chess when you are free."

There has always been a saying in official circles that "people leave and the tea gets cold". Once a person leaves his position, retires and loses his power, he is just an ordinary shriveled old man.

When you are in power, people naturally respect and admire you. But once you lose power, few people will pay attention to you, and some may even dislike you, fearing that you will cause them trouble by asking them to do things for you.

Wen Qiang deliberately put on a stern face and said, "Old Zhu, you look down on me! How could I, Wen Qiang, be such a snob who only uses people when they are needed and never uses them when they are not?"

Zhu Hongwen smiled and said nothing.

After decades of ups and downs in his official career, he no longer believed in promises of this kind, especially from people like Wen Qiang.

There is no emotion, only exchange of interests.

Seeing that Zhu Hongwen didn't believe him, Wen Qiang, under the influence of alcohol, said: "Look, if you don't believe me, how about this, in front of all the brothers, Old Zhu, I will find a way for you to retire?"

"What's the way out?"

"Does Lianxiang Group know?"

"Of course I know. Lianxiang Group is an enterprise that originated from our Beishan. Now this group has a subsidiary in Beishan that makes components."

"I was previously invited by Chairman Liu of Lianxiang Group to become a consultant for him after retirement, offering a salary of one million yuan a year. I declined. If you're interested, I'd recommend you."

What consultant is worth a million? I guess it's the umbrella.

Zhu Hongwen knew it very well.

Why doesn’t Wen Qiang go for such a good thing himself?

After thinking about it, I felt that the other person had his reasons for refusing.

Wen Qiang is only in his early fifties. He has the support of a powerful person and holds real power. He has plenty of opportunities to make money. How could he be interested in these one million or eight hundred thousand?

As for me, this money can really be said to be a temptation.

One million!

He has been in officialdom for so many years, but his total net worth is only two or three million.

I just don't know what the price will be.
