Qi Tongwei at the start: Not relying on Liang Lu, but winning by a single move against Heaven.

April 1st, four days before Qingming Festival.

The day after the city issued its public criticism, the commendation document also arrived.

Gao Changjiang arrived at Qi Tongwei's office with a delighted expression.

He gently placed a red-headed document on the desk and said with a smile:

"County Chief Qi, the commendation order from the city has arrived!"

Qi Tongwei put down his pen, picked up the document, and opened it.

The leadership team of Leishan County was awarded a collective second-class merit.

He was not surprised by the second-class merit award; Leishan had indeed done a good job in this flood control work.

In particular, when the second flood peak struck, Leishan also undertook the flood control work in Heshan.

The leader of Leishan County accepted this second-class merit award with a clear conscience, as it was within his expectations.

As he continued reading, Qi Tongwei was taken aback; the situation was somewhat beyond his expectations.

He received another second-class merit award, and his salary was also increased by one level.

Qi Tongwei frowned slightly, somewhat surprised.

He led a rescue team during the snow disaster and has already been awarded a first-class merit.

He never expected that the city would award him a second-class merit.

In just one month, Qi Tongwei was awarded first-class merit and second-class merit in succession, which made him feel flattered.

Gao Changjiang clearly didn't notice Qi Tongwei's expression and continued speaking.

"The city is making a big move this time; they're even saying they'll hold an awards ceremony."

"The three regiments of the Sixth Division, along with the Armed Police detachment, were all awarded a collective second-class merit..."

Gao Changjiang kept talking, while Qi Tongwei sighed and frowned slightly.

He glanced at Gao Changjiang, who was beaming with excitement, and slowly spoke, interrupting him.

"Director Gao, is there anything else?"

Gao Changjiang was taken aback, then gave an awkward laugh:

"I was so busy talking that I forgot about the important matter. Secretary Qin asked me to inform you that there is a meeting this afternoon."

Qi Tongwei nodded and waved to him.

"Okay. You can go ahead with your work."

Seeing that Qi Tongwei had no interest in chatting, Gao Changjiang left with an awkward smile.

Watching Gao Changjiang's retreating figure, Qi Tongwei lit a cigarette and fell into deep thought.

Leishan did a great job in this flood control effort; they won a resounding victory.

Needless to say, the corps and armed police who came to support us overcame numerous difficulties and deserve commendation.

But holding an awards ceremony at this time seems a bit inappropriate.

It's not that it shouldn't be opened, it's that the timing of opening it is wrong.

A commendation meeting for flood control work should normally be held in August or September, but it's only April now.

Qi Tongwei stared at the official document on the table, silently smoking.

After finishing a cigarette, he finally smelled a faint aroma, but Wang Quanyou couldn't wait until August.

Wang Quanyou held the commendation meeting ahead of schedule to create momentum!

He wants to make a run for the provincial standing committee during the fourth quarter window.

Qi Tongwei calculated the time and found that Wang Quanyou had just turned fifty.

Two years is enough time to overcome one hurdle and then have the opportunity to go further.

Once he takes this step, he will have at least ten years to develop...

Qi Tongwei felt a chill run down his spine at this thought and dared not think any further.

His hands trembled as he lit a cigarette, forcing himself to calm down...

......

The Standing Committee of Leishan County convened as scheduled at 3 p.m.

Qin Xuefeng was in a great mood today, his face glowing and full of vigor.

He stood up straight, and his voice was several decibels louder than usual.

At the beginning of the meeting, Qin Xuefeng read out the city's commendation announcement.

After the commendation results were announced, applause rang out in the conference room.

All the team members had genuine smiles on their faces.

As the laughter subsided, Qin Xuefeng praised the leadership team of Leishan County.

He did not praise Qi Tongwei separately, but repeatedly emphasized that the team was a unified whole.

Qin Xuefeng didn't steal Qi Tongwei's credit, nor could he.

As long as he emphasizes the importance of the team, he will inevitably receive credit for it.

After all, the leadership team in Leishan County was brought up by him, the patriarch of the family.

After praising him, Qin Xuefeng looked at Qi Tongwei, patted his arm, and said with a smile.

"Tongwei, young people have energy, so they should take on more responsibilities."

"From now on, you will be in charge of all government work in Leishan."

"Go ahead and do it with confidence, I'll take care of all the follow-up support..."

Qi Tongwei was transferred to Leishan County, where he served as the executive deputy county head.

Qin Xuefeng's intention in appointing him to preside over the county government's work was all too clear.

All the members of the leadership team were well aware of this.

The position of county head in Leishan County, which had been vacant for more than half a year, has finally been filled.

As for why no appointment document was issued from above, everyone understands.

Qi Tongwei was promoted too quickly.

During his month-long exile in Leishan, he was awarded a first-class merit and a second-class merit.

It also secured a collective second-class merit award for the county party committee.

Qi Tongwei's achievements were sufficient, but he was held back by the speed of his promotion.

Actually, there was another reason why the appointment document wasn't issued from above.

Because Qi Tongwei's achievements were so outstanding, he was collectively overlooked.

The reason is that Qi Tongwei is only twenty-four years old, which is too young!

A 24-year-old county head at the level of a division chief is unprecedented nationwide.

Qi Tongwei was destined not to be the main character at this meeting.

He was too prominent, so he wisely chose to keep quiet.

However, near the end of the meeting, Qi Tongwei was called out by Qin Xuefeng again.

"The city is holding an awards ceremony on April 10th. Tongwei, let's go together."

"You'd better prepare well; the city has specifically requested that you speak and share your experience..."

......

After the meeting, Qi Tongwei returned to his office.

He had barely sat down when Gao Changjiang arrived again.

Looking at Gao Changjiang's smiling face, Qi Tongwei couldn't help but frown slightly.

He didn't dislike Gao Changjiang.

He just felt that Gao Changjiang's words were too rapid, too rash, and not steady enough.

However, Qi Tongwei overlooked one point.

This impetuous Gao Changjiang is thirty-six years old this year, a full twelve years older than he is now.

Gao Changjiang naturally had no idea what Qi Tongwei was thinking.

He gently placed a brown envelope on the desk and said with a smile:

"County Magistrate Qi, there's a letter for you. It just arrived, and I brought it to you immediately."

Qi Tongwei glanced at the envelope, nodded, and slowly began to speak.

"Director Gao, there's no need for you to make this trip in person..."

He paused slightly, then added another sentence.

"From now on, every morning, the office will sort out the data from each department."

"Let the documents be delivered in a unified manner, so we don't have to make multiple trips..."

Gao Changjiang's attempt to be friendly was met with a cold shoulder, leaving him with an awkward smile.

He said "Okay" and left the office.

Seeing Gao Changjiang leave, Qi Tongwei casually picked up the envelope on the table.

Upon seeing the name "Gao Xiaoqin" on the envelope, Qi Tongwei couldn't help but smile.

This was the first letter Gao Xiaoqin wrote to him after he arrived in Leishan.

Unfolding the letter, Qi Tongwei smiled and carefully began to read it.

At first, he had a smile on his face, but after taking a couple of glances, the smile disappeared.

After reading the letter, Qi Tongwei's face turned ashen.
