Qi Tongwei is prepared to work overtime during the three-day National Day holiday.

The activity could only be continued until noon on the second day.

The reason is simple—the lottery tickets were sold out.

It was 10:00 AM on the second day of the National Day holiday.

Less than half an hour into the event, Qi Tongwei sensed something was wrong.

He stood by the podium, looking at the crowd queuing below, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

There are too many people, even more than yesterday.

The people of Bianxi City, along with those from surrounding counties, packed the stadium to capacity.

He glanced at the inventory and his heart sank.

The remaining lottery tickets won't last more than two hours.

Qi Tongwei quickly found Baimaiti and pulled him to a corner.

"Quickly, get someone to drive the motorcycles and cars away."

Baimaiti was taken aback, not understanding why.

"What's going on? If you drive the car away, how are you going to attract attention?"

Qi Tongwei was amused by his words and frowned as he reminded him.

"My dear Brother Bai... you don't have many lottery tickets left."

"What if someone comes along and buys everything? How will that end?"

Baimaiti suddenly realized what was happening, and a cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.

"Yes, yes, yes... I'll arrange it right away!"

He turned and ran, calling out to others as he ran.

In less than ten minutes, the motorcycles in the venue were pushed away one after another.

The Santana sedan was also quietly driven away from the scene.

A car leaves every few minutes; it's done so discreetly, like winning the lottery.

Just as Qi Tongwei had predicted.

It was nearing noon, and the event was drawing to a close.

A Uyghur man made a powerful entrance.

He was tall and strong, wearing brand-new ethnic clothing, and squeezed to the front.

"Hey friend, don't wait in line!"

He had a loud voice with a heavy accent.

"I'll take the rest of the lottery tickets!"

The older brother walked to the ticket counter, counted out more than five thousand yuan, and slammed it on the table.

The staff members looked at each other, then turned to Qi Tongwei.

Qi Tongwei nodded, indicating that it was okay to sell.

The older brother didn't even tear open the lottery ticket; he just threw the rest onto the tractor.

Then he pointed to the two color TVs on the stage.

"Hey, load that into the car too! The rest of the prizes are mine, right?"

The staff didn't dare to make the decision and looked to Qi Tongwei.

Qi Tongwei smiled and winked at Baimaiti.

Baimaiti immediately understood and had his men load the two color TVs and the rest of the prizes onto the tractor.

The Uyghur man jumped onto the tractor, started the engine, and kicked up a cloud of dust.

Baimaiti watched the tractor disappear around the street corner, his legs feeling a little weak.

So many motorcycles, plus a Santana, that's worth at least 300,000...

If the Uyghur big brother takes it all, the consequences will be unimaginable!

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. He looked deeply at Qi Tongwei, his voice trembling.

"Thanks to you... otherwise this would have been a huge problem."

......

The lottery tickets sold out, and the event came to a successful conclusion.

Qi Tongwei was very happy, and Zhong Xiaoai was even happier.

Qi Tongwei was happy because the financial deficit for this month had been covered.

The pledge has been fulfilled.

Zhong Xiaoai was happy because her man was capable.

She was proud and honored.

As she watched the crowd disperse from the stadium, she made a decision in her heart.

After returning to Handong, she planned to write a special report and submit it to the school newspaper.

Let the whole school know how amazing Qi Tongwei is.

Although the event has ended, the lottery effect has only just begun.

A catchy rhyme quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of Bianxi City, and its popularity only grew stronger.

Even the kids are singing while playing jump rope.

"Take a walk in the stadium, and good luck will be with you."

"Take a stroll around the stadium, and you might win a huge prize."

......

Within the system, there are no absolute secrets.

Although it's still a holiday, everyone already knows that lottery tickets have sold out.

Upon receiving the news, Secretary Jiang immediately dialed Cheng Shizhong's number.

"Mayor Cheng, I have a report... Bianxi Welfare Lottery tickets are sold out."

Seeing that Cheng Shizhong didn't answer on the other end of the phone, he added another sentence.

"Qi Tongwei covered the financial hole this month... He won."

There was a long silence on the phone.

Finally, Cheng Shizhong spoke.

His voice was calm and steady, revealing no emotion.

"Secretary Jiang, isn't this good news?"

"Qi Tongwei has solved our city's financial problems; he should be commended!"

He paused slightly, then spoke again.

"Yes, Qi Tongwei is still a deputy section chief, right?"

"Tomorrow at the start of the workday, I'll convene a standing committee meeting and recommend that he be promoted to section chief!"

After saying that, Cheng Shizhong hung up the phone.

Secretary Jiang was stunned.

He stared at the phone in a daze for a long time before finally hanging up.

He muttered something under his breath.

"What the hell is going on?"

......

The Standing Committee meeting was held the following morning.

Qi Tongwei's transfer order came in the afternoon.

This surprised Qi Tongwei.

His position as a section chief was indeed resolved, but the people he was supposed to serve had changed.

He actually became a section-level secretary in the municipal party committee office.

Qi Tongwei frowned slightly as he stared at the transfer order.

In his previous life, he had spent over thirty years navigating the treacherous waters of officialdom, and he knew the ins and outs of it all like the back of his hand.

It seems like he got promoted, but he actually gave up his position as deputy director of the lottery office.

Someone is trying to take advantage of the situation.

As for who picked it first, he had no idea.

Baimaiti, however, was puzzled.

He stared at the transfer order, his face beaming with excitement.

"Tongwei! This is great news!"

"This is an exceptional promotion... Working under the Party Secretary, the future is limitless!"

Qi Tongwei didn't say anything, he just smiled.

Neither Baimaiti nor Qi Tongwei knew about it.

This is actually the result of a power struggle within the Standing Committee.

At the Standing Committee meeting, Cheng Shizhong was the first to raise the issue.

"Qi Tongwei's work performance is outstanding, and he should be promoted exceptionally."

"He is an outstanding talent for supporting border regions. I recommend that he be promoted one level and directly promoted to section-level cadre."

Sitting opposite him, Wang Jianguo immediately sensed a conspiracy.

However, he couldn't object to Cheng Shizhong's decision to promote Qi Tongwei.

We can only wait and see.

Sure enough, Cheng Shizhong gave himself away in his next sentence.

"But Qi Tongwei has been promoted, so who will take over as deputy director of the Welfare Lottery Office?"

Upon hearing this, the seasoned veterans in the conference room all sensed something amiss.

Cheng Shizhong wanted to get rid of Qi Tongwei and then install his own people in the lottery office to reap the benefits.

Wang Jianguo initially wanted to object.

But after much deliberation...

He felt that no matter where Qi Tongwei went.

He was the one who proposed the whole thing about Bianxi Welfare Lottery; he deserves some credit for it.

Trading a deputy director of the lottery office for a promotion like Qi Tongwei's is worthwhile.

He did not object.

But what Cheng Shizhong said next made him uneasy.

"I suggest that Qi Tongwei be promoted to director of the Leishan County Comprehensive Management Office."

He was indeed promoted, but Qi Tongwei was directly kicked out of the Municipal Party Committee Office.

It's like cutting off one of Wang Jianguo's arms.

Wang Jianguo immediately raised objections.

"Qi Tongwei is a talented person. Isn't it a waste of his abilities to put him in the county/district comprehensive management office?"

Cheng Shizhong immediately retorted.

"Maintaining stability is a priority in Bianxi; how can the director of the Comprehensive Management Office be considered a waste of talent?"

The two sides are locked in a stalemate.

Secretary Wang Quanyou spoke slowly.

The voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority.

"Stop arguing."

"He's not getting any younger, yet he's fighting over a mere section chief position. Doesn't he fear being laughed at?"

He picked up his teacup and took a sip.

"Well then, I need a secretary."

"Let him be my secretary, at the level of a section chief."

"Isn't that a waste of talent?"

His words were the final word.

Neither side had anything to say.

No one thought of it.

After much scrambling, Wang Quanyou managed to snag Qi Tongwei under his command.

Only a few members of the leadership team knew about these things.

Qi Tongwei was naturally unaware of this, and he had no interest in finding out.

He is currently showing Zhong Xiaoai around the entire Bianxi Market, and they are having a great time.

Shout in the Tianshan Grand Canyon, stroll through Hongshan Park, and enjoy snacks at the Grand Bazaar...

Their footprints can be found throughout Bianxi City.
