Zhao Lichun must be secretly cooperating with Qin Yuanfang!

On the surface, the two of them behaved quite incompatiblely in the Standing Committee meeting. Even in the study that day, Zhao Lichun complained about Qin Yuanfang in front of the three of them.

In fact, these are all signals released intentionally!

They, the secretary and deputy secretary, are the ones who truly and strongly support the urban renewal project!

The secret fight between them and Jiang Tailai made everyone below run around in circles!

"What about the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee?"

Qi Tongwei frowned.

The Ma Bang Kingdom seems to have not really sided with either side until now.

You know, the urban renewal project was originally carried out in Jingzhou, and Ma Bangguo is the secretary of Jingzhou City and has a great say in this matter!

"Tongwei, let's put the provincial affairs aside for now."

Hearing Qi Tongwei's long silence on the other end of the phone, Li Dakang smiled bitterly:

"You'd better go and read the reporters' reports on you first. Oh, and pay special attention to the Jingzhou Daily. The male reporter you forcibly detained that day did a lot of slander against you in the article."

Qi Tongwei hung up the phone, thought about it, and walked out of the room.

I slowly walked to a newsstand on the street and picked up a copy of Jingzhou Daily. Just as I was about to flip through it, I saw a dark headline on the front page of the newspaper.

Even with Qi Tongwei's calm personality, his emotions began to fluctuate after seeing the title and the content!

Chapter 49: Oppression of Public Opinion

"He has no regard for the law and ordered the police to beat up reporters! Exposing the evil life of Qi Tongwei, deputy director of the Handong Provincial Reform Office!"

Qi Tongwei's eyes were as quick as lightning and he read the entire text quickly.

The articles here not only smear his personal image, but also question his heroic anti-drug actions in Lone Eagle Ridge!

Including the second-class merit he just won last time, it was also fabricated and distorted!

"Haha, what a sharp article, what a male reporter from Jingzhou Daily..."

Qi Tongwei smiled coldly and glanced at the other influential newspapers.

The vast majority of them used front-page headlines to accuse Qi Tongwei.

He was lawless and ordered the police to forcibly detain the reporter on the spot!

He is so bold that he goes to Lone Eagle Ridge alone without receiving detailed orders from the organization, and will do anything to gain fame!

In pursuit of fame and fortune, he abandoned the support of the Municipal Public Security Bureau during the operation, just to take all the credit for himself!

These shocking criticisms and condemnations were printed in black and white on newspapers and distributed at newsstands across the province and city for the uninformed public to read!

In a short period of time, public opinion has gradually exploded!

Even Li Dakang was affected to some extent, and hesitantly suggested to me on the other end of the phone that he should have a good rest for a few days.

Try not to expose yourself to the public!

Qi Tongwei knew that this was also what Zhao Lichun meant.

But can Zhao Lichun really convince the Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Minister?

This is obviously impossible.

"Politics is like dancing with shackles, and compromise is the norm..."

Qi Tongwei sighed.

No one will deny the contributions he has made recently, but this does not mean that he can sit back and relax.

This game of chess has come to this point. The most likely outcome is that Qi Tongwei will be temporarily shelved!

This is to appease Jiang Tailai who has been frustrated many times, and to keep him steady so that he doesn't overturn the chessboard!

After all, it’s not that Qi Tongwei did a bad job, but that he did a very good job!

"Zhao Lichun may have good intentions, and Li Dakang also has good intentions."

He understood that Zhao Lichun wanted to protect him and compensate him after everything was settled.

But there are still more than four months left before the six-month deadline for leaving the Reform Office.

Could he really bear to stand by and watch for such a long time?

"Maybe I should take a break."

Qi Tongwei looked deep and murmured in a low voice.

Since the beginning of his journey through time, he has been busy working for his future and has hardly ever stopped.

Anyway, my contribution has been recorded in the account book and I can't escape it no matter how hard I try.

It would be better to enjoy yourself in peace during the remaining time.

Qi Tongwei tried hard to convince himself in his mind, but deep in his heart he couldn't help feeling regretful.

"Everything should be half satisfactory..."

Now, Qi Tongwei has a new understanding of this sentence.

......

The roar of the plane rolled in the clouds, and as it swung its head and lowered its shoulders between spreading its wings, it glided steadily above the straight and long runway.

Qi Tongwei was wearing sunglasses and saw Zhong Xiaoai's graceful figure in the crowd at a glance.

He smiled and walked forward, handed the carefully prepared rose to her, and said gently:

"Xiao Ai, welcome back to Jingzhou."

Zhong Xiaoai happily took the bouquet and sniffed the petals gently with the tip of her nose.

Then she said in a coquettish tone: "Director Qi, I didn't expect you to be so romantic."

"Forehead..."

Qi Tongwei scratched his head pretentiously, looking silly as if he didn't know how to respond.

Seeing that Qi Tongwei seemed to be stuck, Zhong Xiaoai chuckled and smiled youthfully.

"Okay, okay, let's go outside first."

After saying that, she shook her high ponytail and walked ahead.

Seeing this, Qi Tongwei quickened his pace and followed steadily.

As they walked, the distance between them gradually got closer, and the backs of their hands rubbed against each other faintly.

Zhong Xiaoai felt the hairs on her hands stand up slightly.

"The time should be about right."

Qi Tongwei thought calmly in his heart, but his face showed struggle and hesitation. After a few seconds, he inadvertently held Zhong Xiaoai's soft hand.

Zhong Xiaoai felt as if an electric current was flowing through her body. Her delicate body trembled, and she felt an inexplicable tingling sensation, and her heart began to beat violently.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Qi Tongwei's shocked and nervous look, and a hint of joy and happiness rose in her equally nervous heart.

Zhong Xiaoai bit her red lips with her pearly teeth, mustered up her courage, exerted a little force with her palms, and pressed her small hands tightly against the big hands.

"call..."

Qi Tongwei exhaled lightly and wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead.

In a silent and charming atmosphere, the two of them got into the black Volkswagen parked outside.

Qi Tongwei had just opened the passenger door for Zhong Xiaoai when he suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly, "Xiaoai, wait a moment. I'll tidy up the seat."

After saying that, without waiting for Zhong Xiaoai's reaction, he quickly picked up the newspapers scattered on the seat and hurriedly threw them into the glove box.

Zhong Xiaoai frowned slightly and watched Qi Tongwei finish everything before slowly sitting down.

Along the way, she was listening to Qi Tongwei talking about what had happened in Jingzhou recently.

But Zhong Xiaoai was obviously absent-minded, and her eyes kept looking back and forth at the glove box.

finally--

She couldn't hold back her curiosity and reached out to open the lock!

"Xiao Ai!"

Qi Tongwei was shocked when he saw this and wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

"Jingzhou Daily?"

Her eyes were cold as she quickly scanned the newspaper.

It was visible to the naked eye that her face gradually became gloomier, until finally her chest began to rise and fall violently!

......

Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Department.

Minister Zhou Dahai leaned back in his leather boss chair, listening to the melodious opera music coming from the record player beside him, and closed his eyes comfortably.

The warm sunshine outside the window enveloped his body. Zhou Dahai picked up the brewed hot tea and blew it gently.

Just as I was about to take a sip, a voice from the secretary outside the door came.

"Governor Jiang, hello!"

"Well, is Lao Zhou in there?"

"Here I am."

The secretary respectfully opened the door, and Zhou Dahai quickly stood up and walked over to him with a smile: "Jiang Sheng, I'm just about to report to you on my work."

"Um..."

Jiang Tailai smiled and nodded, then sat on the sofa and asked, "Is it done?"

"That's it."

Zhou Dahai gave a signal with his eyes, and the secretary quickly brought tea, then quietly closed the door and left.

"Old Zhou, the publicity port has always been our cornerstone. It is very important. Secretary Qin also repeatedly stressed at the Standing Committee meeting that we must closely follow the Party Committee's footsteps and not mess up."

After saying this incomprehensible sentence, Jiang Tailai kept silent.

Zhou Dahai was able to sit in the position of a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, so he must be a smart person. After careful thought, I understood the deep meaning of his words.

He chuckled and whispered, "Don't worry, Jiang Sheng. The Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Department has always been very upright. Some recent public opinions are in line with objective facts and will not become a target of attack by some people."

What this means is that there is a traceable reason for this matter and it is not just a random act. Even if it is put to Secretary Qin of the Provincial Party Committee, he cannot find any reason or excuse to intervene.

Qi Tongwei arrested a reporter from Jingzhou Daily in public, and more than a dozen reporters present at the scene can testify to this.

As for other smears?

What? It's fine if you, Qi Tongwei, are in charge of the Reform Office, but you also want to interfere in how other newspapers write articles?

Is it impossible for such a young comrade to accept other people's different opinions?

"I believe in your ability, Lao Zhou."

Jiang Tailai chuckled and patted his shoulder, hinting, "So, after this election, I also plan to propose to my superiors to transfer you to work in the government."

After the words fell, although Zhou Dahai's face remained calm, a hint of excitement rose in his heart.

He knew that this was Jiang Tailai's reward to him!

The reward is the position of executive vice governor of Handong Province!

Although both are vice-ministerial level, there is still a certain difference in their rankings in the Standing Committee.

The higher your ranking, the greater the possibility of being promoted to a full minister in the future!

In the office, Zhou Dahai and Jiang Tailai looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding.

Just as the two of them were chatting, a quarrel suddenly broke out outside the office!

"You can't go in! This is Minister Zhou's office!"

Zhou Dahai's brows furrowed instantly, and he stood up suddenly with a cold face!
