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

Qi Tongwei was stunned after hearing Gao Changjiang's words.

During this period, his mind was filled with thoughts of road construction.

They completely forgot about the "one household, one file" assistance program.

He glanced at Gao Changjiang and casually asked a question.

"What supplies have been prepared for this poverty alleviation effort?"

Gao Changjiang immediately started counting on his fingers, one item at a time.

"Five lambs, rice, flour, and oil. Each household also received twenty yuan this year..."

Listening to Gao Changjiang's rambling story, Qi Tongwei frowned slightly and replied:

"I understand. You can take me to see the place tonight."

Gao Changjiang couldn't help but grin when he heard that Qi Tongwei wanted to personally deliver the supplies.

He hesitated for a moment, then smiled wryly and said:

"County Chief Qi, your couplet...Alim...is a bit difficult to communicate with. Perhaps I should go instead?"

Qi Tongwei was taken aback, looked at Gao Changjiang, and frowned slightly:

"Why is it difficult to communicate?"

Gao Changjiang sighed, his voice tinged with helplessness:

"Hey, this Alim is a notorious scoundrel in the county... the kind who curses the cook after a meal."

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei immediately became interested.

He sneered and said:

"Then we definitely have to go and see it. Get ready, we'll be leaving in a bit."

Seeing Qi Tongwei say this, Gao Changjiang didn't say anything more, just replied and turned to leave.

Qi Tongwei personally delivered poverty alleviation supplies, not to show his approachability, but to get a real feel for the situation.

He has been in Leishan for some time now and has gained some understanding of the situation in the county.

The people of Leishan County have no shortage of land; each household owns about ten hectares.

However, these lands are all dry lands, and the cost of irrigation is too high, leading to reduced yields year after year.

He prioritized revitalizing the flood discharge channel in order to solve the problem of water shortage in arid areas.

He could understand that arid lands lacked water, hindering agricultural development.

What he couldn't understand was why the aquaculture industry in Leishan County couldn't be developed.

It is important to know that the western border region has been the homeland of nomadic peoples since ancient times, and even five-year-old children know how to herd livestock.

In his mind, raising a few sheep wouldn't make him rich, but it would at least keep him from going hungry.

Around six o'clock, Qi Tongwei finally finished dealing with his work.

He called Gao Changjiang and told him to prepare his things and head straight to Alim's house.

Since Qi Tongwei was personally visiting, the reception couldn't be too shabby.

Gao Changjiang then called two more staff members to accompany Qi Tongwei.

As soon as the group arrived at Alim's door, Qi Tongwei frowned.

Alim's house was really dilapidated.

Half of the earthen wall of the courtyard had collapsed, and a foul odor could be smelled from a distance.

Garbage was everywhere, both at the entrance to the courtyard and inside the courtyard.

Qi Tongwei glanced at Gao Changjiang, frowned, and asked:

"According to the file, this Alim is only in his thirties. Does he have any illness?"

Gao Changjiang sighed, shook his head with a wry smile:

"He's got a strong build, and he's a formidable fighter... You'll see when you meet him."

Having said that, he pushed open the door and shouted into the room:

"Alim, County Chief Qi has come to see you and brought you poverty alleviation supplies!"

Qi Tongwei followed him inside, and the two cadres behind him also herded the lambs into the yard.

After a flurry of noise inside, Alim opened the broken wooden door.

He had a head of thick, curly hair, leaned against the doorframe, and grinned as he said:

"The high-ranking official is here... What good stuff did he bring this time?"

Gao Changjiang snorted coldly and searched around the courtyard:

"Where's the lamb I gave you last year?"

Alim was taken aback, then grinned:

"Oh dear, God is so cruel... a snowfall has frozen everyone to death."

Gao Changjiang glanced at Alim and sneered:

"Frozen to death? Did you freeze to death, or did you use it as a snack with your drinks?"

After saying that, he sniffed it and said sarcastically.

"You smell so strongly of alcohol, you've been drinking a lot, haven't you?"

Listening to their conversation, Qi Tongwei quickly made a mental assessment of Alimu.

There are two kinds of poverty: pitiful poverty and hateful poverty.

Alim is clearly the latter, a hateful kind of poor.

He hesitated for a moment, then asked with a cold smile:

"Why not raise them to adulthood and sell them for money? It's such a waste to eat them."

Alim had never met Qi Tongwei before, and when he heard him ask this question, he quickly looked him up and down.

Gao Changjiang, fearing that Alim might speak without thinking, quickly introduced him to the situation.

"This is the newly arrived County Head Qi, who will be your designated support partner."

Alim said "Oh," grinned, and looked completely unconcerned.

"You can't raise them. They're hungry and never get enough to eat. You have to cut grass and let them graze."

Qi Tongwei didn't respond, but glanced into the room and said with a smile:

"Won't you let us come inside and sit down?"

Alim was clearly taken aback, and his expression became somewhat flustered:

"The house is a mess... You can just put things in the yard."

Gao Changjiang's face darkened, and he shoved Alim aside, scolding him:

"Alim, don't be ungrateful."

"It's one thing to act recklessly normally, but to dare to act recklessly towards County Chief Qi, don't blame me for teaching you a lesson!"

After saying that, he smiled at Qi Tongwei, a somewhat awkward smile:

"County Chief Qi, perhaps you should go back... I'll take notes for Alim..."

Qi Tongwei patted Gao Changjiang on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"Since we're here, let's make the best of it. Come on, let's go inside and take a look."

After saying that, he ignored Alim and went straight into the house.

Upon entering the room, the pungent smell of stench mixed with the strong odor of alcohol made Qi Tongwei frown.

He was taken aback as soon as he stepped into the inner room; there were four people sitting on the earthen kang (a heated brick bed).

Qi Tongwei only glanced at them and knew that there was something wrong with these four people.

In his previous life, he had climbed his way up from the bottom.

Although he made mistakes later on, his professional skills were by no means lacking.

The four people on the kang (a heated brick bed) were clearly very nervous; one of them had already reached behind his back.

Fearing he might upset the others, Qi Tongwei immediately looked away and started joking with Alimu.

"Oh, no wonder they wouldn't let us in, they were secretly eating meat..."

After saying that, he casually sat down on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) and started chatting with Alim about everyday things:

"Are these your friends?"

Alim was also a little nervous. He grinned and stammered as he answered.

"Yes, that's right. They're my relatives, they just came from out of town...they're leaving tomorrow."

Qi Tongwei didn't pursue the matter further and continued chatting with Alim about everyday things.

He chatted idly, but secretly kept an eye on the four people's movements.

The four people didn't say a word the whole time, and their movements didn't change at all; they were definitely not good people.

After chatting for a while, Qi Tongwei stood up and said to Alimu with a smile:

"My name is Qi Tongwei, and I'm your partner. If you have any difficulties, come find me at the county government."

"I've learned enough about your situation, so we'll head back now."

After saying that, he smiled, patted Alim on the shoulder, and turned to leave.

As he reached the door, he added one more sentence:

"Hey, don't eat any more lamb this time, I'm going to be making regular follow-ups."

His tone and expression were very natural, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Alim finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly nodded with a smile:

"Mmm, don't worry... I'll definitely take good care of myself this time."

As soon as Qi Tongwei left Alim's house, his expression changed instantly, turning cold and sinister.

He recognized the look in the eyes of the four people in the room.

That was the look he had seen in drug dens and on hardened criminals.

That was the look in his eyes—a look of someone who was brave and fierce, who had seen blood, and even killed people.

As he walked forward, he asked Gao Changjiang in a low voice:

"Why is such a scoundrel still on the assistance list?"

Gao Changjiang sighed, his voice full of helplessness:

"Sigh! What can we do? We can't just watch him starve to death..."

"When he runs out of food, he goes to his neighbors' houses and makes a scene. There's nothing the county can do about it."

Qi Tongwei snorted coldly and replied:

"Can't you even distinguish between pitiful and hateful? Is this how you do poverty alleviation?"

After saying that, he paused for a moment, then added:

"Have the militia keep an eye on his house, make sure the five people inside are well-prepared, and don't let them escape."

Gao Changjiang was taken aback, and tentatively asked:

"County Magistrate Qi, it's true he's a bad coward... but he's not a criminal, is this really necessary?"

Qi Tongwei glared at him and gave the order in a deep voice:

"Execute immediately! Call the police station and have them send officers over with police equipment..."
