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

After reading the quotation documents, Qi Tongwei couldn't help but chuckle.

"They're even trying to rig the bidding against me..."

He glanced at Gao Changjiang and said calmly.

"Prepare the tender documents, and show them to me when you're done."

Gao Changjiang didn't move; he opened his mouth, but then hesitated to speak.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Qi Tongwei lit a cigarette and asked with a smile.

"Is there anything else?"

Gao Changjiang hesitated for a moment, then smiled wryly and said.

"Actually, these engineering companies have all done business with each other privately, and this kind of thing happens frequently."

Qi Tongwei nodded but didn't respond.

He knew in his heart that these engineering companies were already in the nascent stage of an industry association.

If this continues, there will gradually be situations where groups band together to "hijack" the government.

He took a drag of his cigarette, considered it briefly, and asked a question.

"How were these situations handled in the past?"

"There's not much we can do... the price isn't too outrageous, so we just turn a blind eye."

"The price they quoted was outrageous. We should talk to them about it... After all, we still need them to do the work."

Gao Changjiang sighed, his reply sounding somewhat helpless.

Qi Tongwei nodded and replied with a cold smile.

"Okay, go and prepare the tender documents. Show them to me when you're done."

Watching Gao Changjiang's retreating figure, Qi Tongwei hesitated for a moment before dialing Zhao Aiguo's number.

As soon as the call connected, Qi Tongwei asked with a smile.

"Is this Commander Zhao? I'm Qi Tongwei..."

Zhao Aiguo was somewhat surprised to receive Qi Tongwei's call and burst out laughing.

"Haha...you finally remembered to call me! What? Craving the liquor from the military horse farm?"

They hadn't been in touch for a while, but they chatted for a long time on the phone.

After exchanging pleasantries, Qi Tongwei explained the road construction project.

"Brother Zhao, that's the situation."

"We can do the roadbed ourselves, but we can't do the asphalt paving."

"Do you think you could ask the engineering company from the Sixth Agricultural Division to help you?"

After hearing this, Zhao Aiguo thumped his chest loudly.

"This is easy to handle! Just submit an application to the city and ask them to coordinate with us to do it."

Qi Tongwei smiled, knowing that the man hadn't understood his meaning, so he simply made it clear.

"I'm not asking you to do it for free. We've already finished the roadbed; all that's left is to pave it."

"I want the Sixth Agricultural Division to submit a bid."

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Aiguo was clearly taken aback and muttered something to himself.

"Tendering? Free services are out of the question, but you want money to build roads? Tongwei, what do you mean by that...?"

Zhao Aiguo was too straightforward, so Qi Tongwei didn't bother to explain to him and just said with a smile.

"Well, things are a bit complicated... Just tell me, is it okay or not?"

Zhao Aiguo immediately spoke up.

"There's no problem with that. I'll contact the engineering company and get you a definite answer..."

......

After hanging up the phone, Qi Tong glanced at the quotation document on the table and snorted coldly.

"Instead of playing the game properly, they're arguing with the referee..."

Before he could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door.

Qi Tongwei looked up and was taken aback.

Wu Shanheng stood at the door, with a young female comrade beside him.

He had a good impression of Wu Shanheng and quickly got up to invite the two of them to sit down.

"Shan Heng, come in and sit down. And this is...?"

Wu Shanheng sat down and introduced himself to Qi Tongwei with a smile, his smile somewhat shy.

"County Chief Qi, this is my wife, Yu Duoduo..."

"We got our marriage certificate yesterday, and we've come today to bring you some wedding candy..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Duoduo quickly took out a bag of wedding candy and placed it on the desk.

Yu Duoduo didn't say anything, she was a little shy, and her ears turned red.

Qi Tongwei was taken aback, then quickly smiled and congratulated the two of them.

Congratulations! You two are a perfect match! How did you meet? Were you college classmates?

Wu Shanheng scratched his head, answering even more shyly.

"We met at the tent school. Duoduo was a teacher there to provide volunteer teaching..."

Qi Tongwei instantly understood that the two had developed a romantic relationship through their work.

He poured them both a glass of water and asked with a smile.

"When are you having the wedding? I'd love to have a drink at your wedding."

Wu Shanheng's face darkened slightly. After a moment's hesitation, he spoke.

"Duoduo and I are both from out of town, so we won't have the wedding in Leishan. We'll have it back in our hometown..."

Qi Tongwei understood immediately upon hearing this.

Both of them came to Leishan as part of a poverty alleviation program, and they had no relatives in the area, so they couldn't afford to have a wedding.

He paused for a moment, looked at Wu Shanheng, and said with a smile.

"Shanheng, marriage is a big deal, we can't be so hasty."

"I have an idea, what do you think?"

Hearing the hidden meaning in his words, Wu Shanheng was taken aback, looked up at Qi Tongwei, and waited for him to continue.

Qi Tongwei didn't beat around the bush and continued.

"Since you happen to be in charge of publicity, what do you think about organizing a mass wedding in Leishan?"

"Let's organize all the teachers and volunteers who are supporting education in remote areas, and have a lively get-together..."

Wu Shanheng was taken aback, then his eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly.

"That's a good idea!"

"It can not only solve everyone's practical problems, but also enhance comrades' sense of belonging."

Qi Tongwei immediately picked up the conversation and added a sentence.

"Not only that. If we're going to do this, let's do it on a big scale. I'll contact the city TV station and have them report on it."

"Let the people of western border regions understand the group of cadres who support border areas..."

"Whether or not everyone can settle down in Bianxi, let them have a wonderful memory."

The two became more and more excited as they talked, and a grand group wedding quickly took shape.

Ironically, Wu Shanheng originally came to deliver wedding candy, but ended up researching his own wedding.

After some discussion, the two tentatively decided that the group wedding would be held on July 1st.

Holding a group wedding on the Party's birthday is truly a double celebration.

......

The next morning, Gao Changjiang arrived at Qi Tongwei's office early to deliver the bidding documents.

Qi Tongwei couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he saw the dark circles under his eyes.

Gao Changjiang is a bit talkative, but he's quite serious when it comes to getting things done.

He asked Gao Changjiang to sit down and carefully reviewed the tender documents.

The document was written without much experience; it was just average.

A tender document itself doesn't need to be particularly fancy; as long as there aren't any major problems, it's fine.

After reading the document, Qi Tongwei picked up a pen and added two more clauses at the end.

He put down his pen, handed the tender documents to Gao Changjiang, and said softly.

"Add these two clauses to the tender documents."

"Just a little more work, and once it's finished, we can notify all the relevant departments to come and collect the tender documents."

Gao Changjiang took the document, glanced at it, and immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"Full payment upfront!? Settled in three years!?"

He grinned at Qi Tongwei, his face filled with disbelief.

"County Chief Qi, these conditions... can they agree to them? That's over two million..."

Qi Tongwei frowned slightly, glanced at him, and asked a question in return.

"Is it any of your business whether you agree or not?"

Gao Changjiang was taken aback by the question, realizing he had spoken out of turn again, and gave an awkward smile.

"I'm just worried that if we can't reach an agreement, it will delay the road construction progress..."

Qi Tongwei didn't respond, but waved to him.

"Just revise it as I said, and then notify them to come and collect the tender documents..."
