After hearing about Gao Gui's actions at the Beitai Oilfield, Qi Tongwei was speechless.

I'm not exaggerating, I genuinely don't know what to say.

Even beggars know to say "Please have mercy" when asking for food.

But Gao Gui asked the oil field for millions in sponsorship without saying a word; he just insisted on it.

Even though there was nothing to say, work still had to go on.

After hearing the situation, Qi Tongwei was speechless and began to offer advice.

"Deputy County Magistrate Gao, do you think Director Zhang has the authority to approve this funding?"

Gao Gui was taken aback, glanced at Qi Tongwei, and was puzzled.

Qi Tongwei sighed and continued speaking.

"Although Zhang Guozhong is the top leader of Beitai Oilfield, he can't just cover up everything, can he?"

We need millions in funding, not tens or hundreds of thousands.

You need to give him a reason to report to his superiors, right?

After Qi Tongwei finished speaking, he glanced at Gao Gui and, seeing that she still didn't understand, continued to explain.

Will drilling a well damage the groundwater and affect the grassland?

Will the homework frighten the pregnant ewes? Will it cause ethnic disputes?

Even if Sam is a landlord, you still need to give him a reason to approve the loan...

After saying this, Qi Tongwei glanced at Gao Gui, too lazy to say anything more.

He lit a cigarette, waved to the two people on the sofa, and sounded somewhat helpless.

"That's all I have to say... I've already set the direction and path for you."

You two, one a county head and the other an executive deputy county head, should go and investigate this yourselves...

After saying that, his expression turned serious, and he added another sentence.

"Gentlemen, let me remind you, this road is very important."

If construction cannot begin next year, it will definitely not be my responsibility to hold the county government accountable...

After saying that, he waved to the two of them again and said in a deep voice.

"Alright, you guys go ahead and get busy..."

Watching the two figures leave, Qi Tongwei felt helpless and somewhat absurd.

These officials can come up with all sorts of reasons and excuses when they're demanding bribes and kickbacks...

But when it comes to work, my mind goes blank, and all I know is to be straightforward.

......

As time went by, the rectification of the four small mines gradually came to an end.

Ergong Township was the first to carry out rectification and the earliest to resume work.

The effects of the rectification were evident on the very first day of resuming work.

This rectification campaign not only eliminated safety hazards, but also significantly improved efficiency and output.

Murray had it too easy; he only heard his first piece of good news almost a month after arriving in Samu.

A slight smile finally appeared on Qi Tongwei's face.

By the end of September, all four small mines had completed rectification and resumed production.

With National Day approaching, Qi Tongwei specially organized two events to take advantage of the occasion.

One was a county-wide work conference on production safety.

Another event was a joint celebration organized by Beitai Oilfield with the theme of oilfield-local cooperation.

After the two events were completed, Qi Tongwei began a series of visits and inspections.

There was no other way; with National Day approaching, no unit could be left out, and he had to make an appearance in every one of them.

The days passed by busily, and before we knew it, it was mid-October.

Wang Quanyou's latest job assignment has finally been announced; he learned about it from the news.

It wasn't that he was slow to realize it, but rather that he was certain that Wang Quanyou would make progress, so he lost the desire to inquire further.

However, Wang Quanyou's latest job assignment really surprised him.

Based on previous indications, he believed that Wang Quanyou would become the secretary of the district discipline inspection commission.

He never expected that Wang Quanyou's latest position would be Deputy Secretary of the District Party Committee and Chairman of the District Government.

This appointment, well, it's just one step away from becoming a high-ranking official in charge of a region.

Qi Tongwei was surprised, but after a moment's thought, he understood the mystery.

Wang Quanyou's previous goal was probably to become the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission.

But during this period, Wang Quanyou's performance was outstanding. To put it bluntly, he put in a lot of effort and made another small step forward.

This explains why the appointment took so long to be finalized.

The results exceeded the organization's expectations, the original appointment was overturned, and adjustments were made after re-discussion.

Regardless of the final outcome, Qi Tongwei was very happy about Wang Quanyou's promotion.

In his past life, he suffered because of a lack of political resources.

In this lifetime, he finally managed to properly latch onto a powerful patron.

Considering Zhong Xiaoai's background, Qi Tongwei couldn't help but feel a renewed sense of anticipation.

In his previous life, his ultimate goal was nothing more than to advance to the next level.

Now that he has two powerful backers, will advancement still be his final destination?

That evening, Qi Tongwei stayed in his office for a long time.

He thought a lot, and memories of his past life flashed before his eyes again and again...

As he was about to return to the guesthouse, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Being a high-ranking official in charge of a region is not necessarily a bad thing..."

......

The county guesthouse was very close to the county party committee compound, so he didn't call a car and walked back to the guesthouse.

In October, the nights in Samu are already quite cold.

As the evening breeze blew by, he couldn't help but wrap his coat tighter and quicken his pace.

But as soon as he stepped into the guesthouse, he was stunned.

He saw a person sitting on the sofa in the lobby, none other than Li Guangran, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Li Guangran's lips were chapped and his facial skin was also somewhat rough, clearly indicating that he had spent a lot of time working in the field.

When Li Guangran saw him arrive, he immediately got up to greet him.

"Secretary, you're back?"

Qi Tongwei frowned slightly and glanced at the military green canvas bag on his body.

The canvas bag was bulging, with the straps pulled straight, and it looked quite heavy.

Qi Tongwei hesitated for a moment, then asked softly.

"Guangran, what brings you here? You didn't even give me a heads-up... Have you had dinner yet?"

Li Guangran grinned, revealing a set of white teeth that made his skin appear even darker.

"I've already eaten. I ate right after I came down from the beam..."

Qi Tongwei nodded and looked at him intently again.

He knew that Li Guangran was not an unruly person, and that he must have something to say to him so late at night.

He smiled at Li Guangran and spoke softly.

"Come on, let's talk in my room. I have some good tea there, which I got from Secretary Quanyou..."
