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

The next morning, Qi Tongwei had just sat down in his office when Li Sulin arrived.

Li Sulin hesitated at the door for a long time, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty, too afraid to go in.

Qi Tongwei looked up and saw him, then waved to him.

"Come in and tell me what's wrong. This isn't a spider's cave..."

Upon hearing the words "Spider Cave," Li Sulin was taken aback and inwardly groaned.

He walked into the office, looking embarrassed, and forced himself to speak.

"County Magistrate Qi, why did you leave early last night... I looked for you for ages but couldn't find you..."

Qi Tongwei lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and asked a question instead of answering.

"If I don't leave, are there other programs coming up?"

His voice wasn't loud, and his words were neither warm nor cold, but they made Li Sulin's heart tighten.

He quickly waved his hand and said with a wry smile.

"No, absolutely not..."

But as soon as he said it, he realized it was wrong and quickly changed his words.

"No, I didn't know what Qin Feiyue would arrange..."

"I thought it was just a meal and a chat... I also drank too much yesterday, I apologize."

Qi Tongwei didn't delve into it, gave him a brief glance, and replied with a single sentence.

"Eating or drinking a little is fine. But we must stick to our bottom line..."

At this point, he glanced at Li Sulin and changed the subject.

"He can handle the Bianxi Road Bridge project and also mobilize the beauties of the performing arts troupe..."

"Your brother-in-law is quite something..."

Li Sulin's face grew even uglier. He sighed and said softly.

"My mother-in-law's father works at the Municipal Construction Commission... I really can't do anything about it because of my wife's influence..."

His voice wasn't loud, but it was full of helplessness.

Qi Tongwei was taken aback, glanced at Li Sulin, and nodded slightly.

Li Sulin is caught in the middle, which is indeed a difficult situation.

The Municipal Construction Commission, Bianxi Road and Bridge, Feiyue Engineering Company... this is a well-established industrial chain.

Qi Tongwei pondered for a moment, then tossed Li Sulin a cigarette, his tone much calmer.

"Don't make things difficult for Qin Feiyue. Have him do a cost estimate, and you can compare the estimates first."

Li Sulin was taken aback and glanced at Qi Tongwei.

He was prepared to be scolded, but Qi Tongwei didn't make things difficult for him, which surprised him.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Qi Tongwei added another sentence, which was quite meaningful.

"You are in charge of the Leitai Highway project, so you must ensure the quality of the project."

"If something really goes wrong, everyone else can run away, but you can't..."

Li Sulin frowned slightly, nodded slowly, and replied.

"Don't worry about that. I know how important this road is, and I will make sure to control the quality."

"That's all for now. The roadbed is almost finished in the next few days, I'm going back to the construction site..."

After saying that, he stood up, turned around and left without hesitation.

Li Sulin breathed a sigh of relief as he walked out of Qi Tongwei's office.

For some reason, Qi Tongwei was almost twenty years younger than him.

But every time he faced Qi Tongwei, he felt breathless and overwhelmed.

Is this the legendary official power?

Unable to understand, he lit a cigarette and strode towards the jeep.

Leishan County is so small that it cannot hide any secrets.

The news that Qin Feiyue had asked Qi Tongwei for the paving project quickly spread to everyone.

Initially, the paving project was to be contracted to Bianxi Road and Bridge, as everyone knows.

Even if some people are envious, no one wants to compete with Bianxi Road Bridge for a share of the profits, since they also need to rely on Bianxi Road Bridge for their livelihood.

But things are different now. Since Qin Feiyue can use connections, they can too.

And so, Qi Tongwei's office became lively again.

All sorts of completely unrelated relationships came knocking on the door.

Qi Tongwei's previously quiet drinking sessions have become frequent again.

He wanted to push, but he couldn't.

It would be inappropriate not to give face to the others if Li Sulin was already given face.

Finally, after four or five heavy drinking sessions, Qi Tongwei couldn't take it anymore.

He went directly to Qin Xuefeng, intending to have a talk with him.

Ever since that drinking session, the two of them have developed a much better understanding of each other and become much closer.

Qi Tongwei didn't knock, but plopped down on the sofa and got straight to the point.

"Secretary, people wanting projects are practically wearing down my doorstep. Please, can you think of a solution..."

Qin Xuefeng took off his reading glasses, tossed him a cigarette, and said slowly.

"If even you, the county magistrate, can't do anything, what can an old man like me do?"

Qi Tongwei didn't respond, but lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.

He exhaled a puff of smoke, glanced at Qin Xuefeng, and tentatively asked.

"You don't have any recommendations? I think Qin Feiyue's 'Leap Forward Project' seems quite impressive..."

Actually, he already had a plan in mind, but he needed to find out Qin Xuefeng's background first.

Qin Xuefeng laughed, a laugh tinged with schadenfreude.

He took a deep drag of his cigarette, waved to Qi Tongwei, and said with a smile.

"Hey, which Qin Feiyue? I've heard of him..."

"That guy is notoriously difficult to get rid of; once he's on your side, you can't shake him off. I wouldn't dare mess with him..."

Qi Tongwei was taken aback and gave Qin Xuefeng a deep look.

Seeing that Qin Xuefeng didn't seem to be being sarcastic, he felt reassured.

He gave a wry smile and asked another question.

"Secretary, if you're not going to take care of this, then I'll have to see what I can do."

Qin Xuefeng chuckled and waved at him.

"Don't bother me. Deal with the trouble you caused yourself... Just don't bother me."

......

After leaving Qin Xuefeng, Qi Tongwei finally felt completely confident.

He wasn't afraid of a pack of wolves eyeing a piece of meat; what he feared was a lion running out to snatch it away.

Since Qin Xuefeng has no objections, this matter is easy to handle.

That afternoon, he summoned Gao Changjiang to his office.

"Director Gao, these are the materials submitted by the engineering companies these past few days."

"In a little while, call them one by one and tell them that the county has made a decision."

"The paving project for Leitai Highway needs to be put out to tender. Have them submit their prices..."

Gao Changjiang was taken aback and subconsciously asked a question.

"What about Qin Feiyue?"

Qi Tongwei was taken aback and frowned slightly.

He looked at Gao Changjiang intently and asked a question in return.

"What happened to Qin Feiyue? Did anyone promise anything? Make him give the same quote..."

Gao Changjiang realized he had said the wrong thing, so he didn't dare to say anything and turned to leave.

That afternoon, all the people with connections also received calls from Gao Changjiang.

The phone calls were all consistent: they were asking for quotes and that the Leitai Highway paving project would be put out to tender.

These engineering bosses aren't highly educated, but they're all shrewd and calculating.

They instantly understood Qi Tongwei's clever plan.

Qi Tongwei didn't want to offend anyone and wanted them to fight amongst themselves...

After Qi Tongwei sent out the notice, these engineering companies quickly responded.

Gao Changjiang was very efficient and quickly presented Qi Tongwei with the quotes from various companies.

But Qi Tongwei frowned slightly as he looked at the quote, his expression growing increasingly grim.

After reviewing the final quote, Qi Tongwei glanced at Gao Changjiang and asked in a deep voice.

"Is this the complete quote?"

Gao Changjiang was taken aback, glanced at the quotes on the table, and nodded.

"All seven are here..."

Qi Tongwei lit a cigarette and let out a cold laugh.

"Hmph, I have a brilliant plan, but you have a way out... Don't try to play these tricks on me..."
