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

This book is a fan fiction set in an alternate world and has absolutely nothing to do with reality.

----------------

After writing the letter to Gao Xiaoqin, Qi Tongwei glanced at his watch; it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

With no specific work scheduled for the afternoon, Qi Tongwei dialed Zhong Xiaoai's number again.

I've been so busy lately that I haven't been able to talk to Zhong Xiaoai on the phone. We've been spending a lot of time together.

Zhong Xiaoai talked about the situation at the school and then asked about Qi Tongwei's work situation.

Qi Tongwei answered her questions one by one, but he didn't mention the flood relief efforts at all, for fear of worrying her.

As they chatted, Zhong Xiaoai's voice suddenly became very mysterious.

"Hey senior, I have some big news for you. Hou Liangping proposed to Teacher Liang!"

Qi Tongwei's eyes widened in surprise, his gossip instincts instantly ignited.

"Really? I bet... Hou Liangping proposed to Teacher Liang on the playground, right?"

On the other end of the phone, Zhong Xiaoai was clearly taken aback, her voice filled with surprise.

"How did you guess? It was a big scene; a lot of classmates saw it."

"Hou Liangping was holding such a huge bouquet of roses... I wish I could have one of those days..."

Her voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, and by the end it carried a hint of girlish shyness.

Qi Tongwei's mind wasn't on that, so he quickly asked another question.

Did Hou Liangping kneel down?

Zhong Xiaoai thought for a moment and then slowly began to speak.

"I don't think so. It was just a proposal, and Ms. Liang accepted the flowers, she seemed quite shy."

She paused slightly and asked a question in return.

"Do you have to kneel to propose? Why are you asking that?"

When Qi Tongwei heard that Hou Liangping hadn't knelt, he felt a pang of disappointment.

He chuckled and gave a casual reply.

"It's nothing, in movies, people always kneel down when they propose... I was just asking."

He suddenly felt a pang of sadness.

He discovered that his choices not only changed him but also affected those around him.

In his previous life, Liang Lu forced him to kneel down on the playground to propose, which bent his back.

In this life, Hou Liangping is the one who proposes to Liang Lu, but Liang Lu doesn't make him kneel down.

After a moment's thought, Qi Tongwei understood quite a bit.

His departure to the far west was a significant blow to Liang Lu, but she learned from the experience and matured.

As he was lost in thought, Zhong Xiaoai spoke again on the other end of the phone.

"By the way, Hou Liangping really did get promoted, and to the rank of section chief, head of the Economic Inspection Section..."

This result was exactly what Qi Tongwei had expected, and he replied calmly.

"That's great, everyone has improved."

The call lasted for more than half an hour before Zhong Xiaoai reluctantly hung up.

After hanging up the phone, Qi Tongwei stared blankly into the receiver.

He didn't know whether Hou Liangping and Liang Lu getting together was a good thing or a bad thing.

He had no idea how much impact his changes would have.

After a long silence, he shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

Everyone has their own choices. Instead of worrying about others, it's better to take care of yourself first.

......

The following morning, the annual work conference of Leishan County Government was officially held.

Although he has been in Leishan for more than a month, everyone is familiar with him.

However, this meeting was the first time he had formally chaired a meeting since arriving in Leishan.

Originally, the annual work conference was supposed to be held after the Lantern Festival.

However, during this period, Leishan was first hit by a snowstorm, and then by floods...

The annual work meeting has been postponed again and again, until today.

Qi Tongwei sat in the middle of the conference table, his usual calm demeanor replaced by an imposing presence.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, he made a few brief opening remarks and then got straight to the point.

"The government work conference was held late this year, but the work cannot be neglected."

"In the remaining time, everyone, let's work harder and catch up on the schedule."

He coughed lightly, looked around at everyone present, and spoke slowly again.

"There are four key tasks for this year. Please take notes and implement them after the meeting."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone picked up their pens, ready to start taking notes.

Qi Tongwei's work assignments were very specific, consisting entirely of quantifiable tasks.

The first item is road construction.

The 50-kilometer section of road between Santai and Leishan that was previously unpaved was paved with asphalt.

Connect Bianxi City and Heshan, making Leishan a transit point and Bianxi City's backyard.

The second item is to revitalize the flood drainage channel.

The flood discharge channel was extended to farmland and grassland, mainly through voluntary labor by the masses.

Let's revitalize this flood discharge channel, using it for flood discharge during the flood season and for auxiliary irrigation during other times.

The third measure is to vigorously promote alfalfa planting to solve the problem of insufficient water and grass for herders.

The first three tasks were all centered around economic development.

The fourth item returns to social governance, establishing a "one person, one file" system for key personnel in the county.

He demanded that Party members and cadres be paired with key personnel to provide one-on-one assistance.

Monthly assessments should be conducted to ensure that difficulties and conflicts are assigned to specific individuals.

After the four key tasks were explained, the meeting room fell silent except for the rustling sound of writing.

Qi Tongwei finally experienced the thrill of a patriarchal, one-man rule.

How to describe that feeling? It was like a promise that carries weight, a promise that speaks volumes.

After assigning the key tasks, he noticed that no one reacted, so he began to call out names one by one.

The first person he mentioned was Li Sulin, the director of the county transportation bureau.

Road construction was something he had planned before coming to Leishan; it was the work he cared about most.

He glanced at Li Sulin and asked with a smile.

"Director Li, road construction is of paramount importance, and the burden falls on your Transportation Bureau."

"Tell me first, if you have any difficulties, let me know in advance, and we'll figure out a solution together."

Li Sulin is a veteran in the transportation industry, having worked in Leishan County for half his life and is very familiar with the situation there.

When he heard that Qi Tongwei wanted to build a road, he was filled with resentment, but he didn't have the chance to say it.

Now that Qi Tongwei had called his name, he had found an opportunity to speak.

He put down his pen, gave a wry smile, and first made his stance clear.

"County Chief Qi, I wholeheartedly support road construction. But... our county doesn't have the money."

Qi Tongwei nodded, indicating his understanding.

"Besides funding issues, what other difficulties are there?"

Ever since he had the idea of ​​building the road, he had carefully calculated it.

A 50-kilometer asphalt road would cost at least four or five million yuan, which Leishan couldn't afford even if they sold everything they owned.

Li Sulin thought for a moment, smiled, and continued.

"The second problem is the construction period; it's too tight."

"It's already April, and the entire construction period is less than six months."

He paused slightly, then added another sentence.

"Ultimately, it's because we don't have money. If we had more money, we could bring in more people and more equipment, and the construction period wouldn't be a problem."

Qi Tongwei nodded again.

He knew in his heart that Li Sulin was telling the truth.

The current level of infrastructure development is far from reaching the level of "madness".

It is indeed very difficult to complete a county-level standard highway in five months.

But Qi Tongwei was also helpless.

The situation in Bianxi is special; construction can only be carried out from May to October, and the rest of the time the soil is frozen.

If the work starts this year and isn't finished by October, it will basically have to be redone next year.

He hesitated for a moment, then slowly spoke:

"In the end, it still comes down to not having any money."

He glanced at Li Sulin, then at everyone else present, and started joking.

"Since it was my idea to come up with the plan, it's only right that I go and beg for alms."

"I'm going to a meeting in the city on the 10th. Let's see if I, an outsider, can beg for food."

As he finished speaking, laughter broke out in the serious conference room, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

These four key tasks were not something Qi Tongwei came up with on a whim.

He has memories of his past life and has many development strategies in mind that are suitable for Leishan's situation.

To develop the economy, he could promote the cultivation of specialty crops such as white peas and chickpeas.

It is also possible to support the breeding of cashmere goats and long-browed camels.

However, these projects have a very long cycle, and it may not be effective for three to five years.

Qi Tongwei didn't have that much time, and he didn't want to get bogged down in Leishan.

For him, road construction, promoting new types of forage grass, and irrigation projects...

These types of quick and easy projects are the optimal solution.

It's good to be in public office; it doesn't burden the people or waste their money, and it can even bring some benefits to the common people.

When he leaves Leishan, it will be enough if some people remember his good deeds and no one criticizes him.

......

April 9th ​​has arrived in the blink of an eye, and tomorrow is the day the city will hold an awards ceremony.

Early in the morning, Qi Tongwei received a call from Baimaiti.

When the call connected, Baimaiti joked with him for a few moments before asking when he was coming to the city.

Qi Tongwei honestly replied that he was waiting for Secretary Qin's order.

Upon hearing this, Baimaiti lowered his voice and told Qi Tongwei.

"Hurry up, there's a surprise waiting for you..."

Baimaiti spoke in a mysterious way, leaving Qi Tongwei completely confused.

Around noon, Qin Xuefeng finally finished packing.

Qi Tongwei noticed that he had changed into a new cadre uniform and looked exceptionally energetic.

He walked into Qi Tongwei's office and, smiling, tossed Qi Tongwei a cigarette.

"Tongwei, let's go. There's a really good shumai place behind the Grand Bazaar, I'll take you to try it..."
