Chapter 170 Win people’s hearts
When Qi Tongwei returned home, it was already around ten o'clock in the evening.
But his wife and children were still awake and were sitting in the living room waiting for him to come back.
"Dad is back." said the daughter excitedly.
As she finished her words, Lin Qiuyue and Qi Qingfeng also looked towards Qi Tongwei.
"Dad." Qi Qingfeng took the initiative to say.
He is sensible now and knows that his father not only carries the responsibility of a family, but also the responsibility of a province.
Qi Tongwei nodded and sat down aside.
Lin Qiuyue took out honey from the side as usual and prepared a cup of warm honey water for Qi Tongwei.
After all, when Qi Tongwei was working in Beijing, he often attended various dinner parties, and after coming back he was drunk, and even passed out several times.
"Thank you, wife." He took the honey water and said with a smile.
After drinking the honey water, Qi Tongwei adjusted his mood and called his son Qi Qingfeng into the study, where the father and son had a deep conversation.
The next morning, Yu Hui made a casual call.
"Leader, are you free tonight? Many of our Handong University alumni would like to invite you to dinner and thank you in person for your promotion."
After all, there are only so many alumni who graduated from Handong University in Jingzhou City, Handong Province, and most of them were promoted at one time.
If there is no human operation, if you tell this to a dog, the dog will shake its head and not believe it.
"We will arrive in Jingzhou around six o'clock tonight. Please contact Cai Baoguo from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee and ask him to arrange a venue and invite everyone to get together." Qi Tongwei said in a deep voice.
Since these alumni know how to be grateful, it is necessary for me to meet with them before I take office as the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission so that they can get to know me better.
"Okay, I'll contact him right away." Yu Hui said.
After hanging up the phone, Qi Tongwei continued to accompany his family around Beijing in the morning. At noon, the family had a meal outside, played for a while in the afternoon, and then returned home.
After receiving Yu Hui's call, Cai Baoguo immediately began to organize tonight's activities. After all, if so many people were to gather together, the venue would require some space.
At around 6:30 in the evening, Qi Tongwei walked out of the airport, and Yu Hui was already waiting for him at the airport gate in his car.
After the two met, Qi Tongwei immediately got into the car.
"How many people are coming here tonight?" he asked calmly.
As Yu Hui started the car, he said, "Originally there were only a dozen people, but after hearing that you showed up in person, a dozen more people wanted to come and participate. Now according to statistics, there are thirty-six people, of whom about twelve have been promoted to the department level, and twenty-four are division-level cadres."
He couldn't help but feel fortunate that he followed Qi Tongwei and served as his secretary. Otherwise, with his previous deputy section-level position, he would not have dared to attend such a banquet.
Although he is only a section-level official now, he is Qi Tongwei's secretary and can be considered his brother-in-law in name.
"So many people." Qi Tongwei said with some surprise.
He originally thought that there would be only about ten people, but he didn't expect there would be so many.
At about seven o'clock, Yu Hui drove to the door of the hotel that had been booked in advance.
At this time, a group of people were standing at the entrance of the hotel, and all their eyes were focused on this car.
They knew very well in their hearts that if they wanted to do well in Handong Province in the future, they had to cling tightly to Qi Tongwei.
When Qi Tongwei got out of the car, Cai Baoguo immediately came to him with his men.
Many people saw Yu Hui standing in front of Qi Tongwei and serving as Qi Tongwei's secretary, and they couldn't help but reveal a hint of envy in their eyes.
In previous alumni gatherings, even if Yu Hui attended the gathering, he was always one of the people with the lowest presence. Now he has turned from a chicken into a phoenix and become the secretary of the leader.
"Governor Qi, it's great to meet you." Cai Baoguo said politely.
Now in front of so many people, the private relationship between the two people naturally cannot be revealed.
"Governor Qi, thank you very much for taking the time to attend our party." Someone said respectfully.
"Let's go in and talk." Qi Tongwei said with a smile.
Looking at so many alumni who chose to stand on his side and on the side of justice, he couldn't help but feel that his struggle was worth it.
As soon as he finished speaking, Cai Baoguo led everyone into the hall upstairs.
This is a hall specially prepared for meetings and dinners. There are not only dining tables, but also a podium and a microphone for speeches.
After everyone entered the room, Yu Hui closed the door.
Cai Baoguo came to the podium, tested the microphone and found no problem, then picked it up and said, "I believe everyone present has heard about their upcoming promotion before coming to the party, right?"
"Yes." Everyone said in unison.
They originally thought that their promotion was entirely due to their excellent abilities or good luck.
But after hearing that other alumni were also promoted, he couldn't help but start asking around for news, and finally all of it focused on Qi Tongwei.
Under the chairmanship of Cai Baoguo, the group of people were very enthusiastic and expressed their gratitude to Qi Tongwei.
They did not take sides before because they did not have the opportunity to do so, or they did not want to be associated with corrupt elements.
But now Qi Tongwei is different. He is the representative of justice and the great contributor to this anti-corruption campaign. Following his footsteps closely means following the footsteps of the organization.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Qi Tongwei immediately walked up to the stage, took the microphone from Cai Baoguo, and began to speak from the heart to the group of alumni in front of him.
On the way from the airport, during the half hour he spent, he began to think about this matter in his mind.
"First of all, I am very grateful for your enthusiasm. In fact, your promotion has little to do with me. It is mainly because you have met the requirements for promotion. In addition, this anti-corruption campaign has vacated many positions, which gave you the opportunity...
Although in the past, when our Handong University graduates gathered together, they would be called the Handong University Gang. Even after my college mentor Gao Yuliang was taken away for investigation, the reputation of the Handong University Gang became even worse among the provincial leaders. In particular, some provincial party committee leaders even had the idea of suppressing Handong University students..."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's emotions were aroused and they applauded enthusiastically.
A middle-aged man said: "Governor Qi, we are really grateful that you can stand up and take up the banner of our Handong University again.
Just as you said just now, we all meet the qualifications for promotion, but it took me eight years to be promoted from deputy director to director. I wonder how many people here are like me?
So I am really grateful to Governor Qi for giving me an opportunity to display my abilities.”
