Wandering the Heavens

Chapter 280 In the Name of People 12

Qi Tongwei summed it all up in one sentence. Because he wanted to make progress so much, he was a little anxious and inevitably not thoughtful. Gao Yuliang felt that he was insulting the word "progress". He immediately told everyone at the Standing Committee that he had been laughed at for digging the ground for Chen Yanshi and crying at his grave. This made him, as a teacher, lose face. While he was embarrassed, he had to find a way to make up for it.

After saying this, Gao Yuliang scolded Qi Tongwei, saying that anyone who could reach this position was not stupid.

You, Qi Tongwei, disregarded your friendship and drew a line with Zhao Lichun because Chen Yanshi offended him back then. Now your adopted son has come to be the boss. You can't even dream of rising to the top by trying to get close to him at the last minute!

Those who participate in this game can lose face and dignity, but they cannot lose a little bit of principle and bottom line, even if it is just a little bit. For fence-sitters like you, Qi Tongwei, it's okay when you are valuable, but no one will care about you when you are worthless. I guess if I don't step on you, I will be sorry for your jumping left and right in the past.

After scolding, I mentioned one thing, that is, the Supreme People's Procuratorate arranged Hou Liangping to go on a business trip to Handong, which may take several months or even one or two years depending on the situation. As an old senior, you, Qi Tongwei, must at least arrange it and show your hospitality.

Seeing that Gao Yuliang agreed in anger, Qi Tongwei said he would definitely make arrangements.

In addition to this, Gao Yuliang also talked about his relationship with Liang Lu. In short, he had to accept his wife no matter how old she was, and he had to do a good job on the surface.

When Qi Tongwei talked about this, he said he was not sleepy anymore. Life was good at home, but that woman was just making trouble. This heartless look made Gao Yuliang feel very tired. You can't wake up someone who pretends to be asleep, so he could only end this unpleasant exchange.

……

When Hou Liangping and Chen Hai were worried about Cai Chenggong's nesting doll-style confession, Qi Tongwei personally came to invite them to dinner and arranged it at Shanshui Manor. After asking Ji Changming for permission, the two arrived at the place where Qi Tongwei was hosting the dinner at 7 o'clock in the evening.

As soon as they got out of the car, they saw that the rockeries and trees around the parking lot were hung with red lanterns and colorful lights. It seemed that this place had hosted quite a few banquets during the two days of the New Year, and a lot of effort had been put into creating a festive atmosphere.

Just as I was marveling at the luxury of this place, I saw a taxi parked in front of the barrier.

"Which rich man is so low-key when he goes out?"

Chen Hai had heard about the extravagance of Shanshui Manor, so he was a little surprised to see a taxi parked there, and simply started to make fun of it.

Just as he finished speaking, the car door opened and a figure got out of the car. After looking left and right, he walked to the booth and took out an invitation.

"Who is he?" Hou Liangping could see that Chen Hai looked a little surprised.

"He is Sun Liancheng, the mayor of Guangming District. It seems he is here to have dinner as well." Chen Hai frowned.

"Is he Sun Liancheng? He takes a taxi to a place like this to have dinner. These people have really unique tastes." The more Hou Liangping looked at this person, the more uncomfortable he felt.

"Director Chen, you guys are here for dinner too!" After Yu Xian finished registering, he saw Chen Hai and Hou Liangping standing by the parking lot and simply walked over to greet them: "Who is this?"

"Director Sun, let me introduce you. This is my college classmate Hou Liangping, who is here on a business trip in Jingzhou. Our senior is the Director of the Public Security Department, Qi Tongwei. When he heard that a junior fellow student was here, he invited me to dinner and said he wanted to show his hospitality. Are you here to eat too?" Chen Hai asked.

"Mr. Gao from Shanshui Group said that I had some misunderstandings about their company, so he specially asked me to come over to explain it and introduce me to a few important people. I reported to Secretary Yue of the district and then to Secretary Li, and after getting permission, I came to take a look." Yu Xian took out the invitation without hiding it.

"What a coincidence, you are all in Chongde Hall?" Chen Hai took a look at the words on the invitation and was stunned.

"Let's go together?" Yu Xian asked.

"Then let's go together!" Chen Hai wanted to see what Qi Tongwei was up to.

As they were talking, they saw a man and a woman walking towards them side by side. When they got closer, they turned out to be Qi Tongwei and Gao Xiaoqin. The distance between them was too close.

"Monkey, Haizi!"

Qi Tongwei shouted enthusiastically from a distance, as if they were old brothers who had not seen each other for many years.

"Senior, you said you would treat me to a meal but I didn't expect it to be here. That must be over the limit!" Hou Liangping responded with a smile.

"We are just renewing our old friendship here, not doing a business reception, so we have no right to interfere with that!" Qi Tongwei said with a smile.

"Director Sun, you are such a busy man. We have been wanting to invite you to dinner to explain things these days. You have been either on the construction site or in a meeting. We finally see you today." Gao Xiaoqin said softly.

"Mr. Gao often deals with us government officials and knows how we live. Especially now that it's the end of the year, there are all kinds of assessments and things to do. You have to bear more responsibility!" Yu Xian said politely.

"Mr. Gao, the person you said you wanted to introduce me to tonight is Mayor Sun Liancheng!" Qi Tongwei asked in surprise.

"Yes! Director Qi also knows that after Ding Yizhen got into trouble, District Chief Sun was in charge of the Guangming Peak project. My Shanshui Group's project in Guangming Peak has been delayed, so I have to ask District Chief Sun to plead for me!" Gao Xiaoqin said with a smile.

"Hey, what are we doing here in such a cold weather? Let's go in first!" Qi Tongwei said in annoyance after he suddenly realized something and seemed to remember something important.

After Yu Xian exchanged some pleasantries, the few of them left the parking lot in tacit understanding and headed for the so-called Chongde Hall.

When we arrived at the dining area, the air conditioner was already on. Everyone took off their coats as soon as they entered the room and sat down according to the host and guest. Qi Tongwei deservedly sat in the main seat, and Gao Xiaoqin was like a butterfly, pouring wine and toasting. During the meal, Hou Liangping was introduced, who was also a powerful director of a national ministry.

However, Yu Xian was still quite a downer, saying that he was over 50 and in poor health so he didn't drink alcohol, but only tea. Qi Tongwei and Gao Xiaoqin were surprised, but they could only give up when they thought that this man's life was so simple.

Qi Tongwei's words and actions showed the demeanor of a host. Hou Liangping pretended to agree with him. Chen Hai looked absent-minded and asked the reason and said that he didn't know whether the children had eaten. As for Yu Xian, he seemed to be an outsider and just watched the fun.

It was just a matter of time before the tug-of-war between Hou Liangping and Gao Xiaoqin came to an end. When the atmosphere reached its climax, Hou Liangping and Gao Xiaoqin sang Sha Jia Bang together. Yu Xian got a headache just by listening to the humming voice, and felt that the voice and tone were too sharp.

"Director Sun, please give us your comments on how my classmate and Mr. Gao sang?"

After Gao Xiaoqin and Hou Liangping had finished arguing, it was finally their turn. Qi Tongwei asked with a smile.

"Director Qi, you know, I'm from Handong, how can I understand Peking Opera!" Yu Xianqian said with a smile.

"Hey, don't think that Monkey is a Beijinger just because he came from Beijing. He is also from Handong. Later, because of his outstanding work ability and the fact that he and his wife were in different places, the organization cared about him and transferred him to work in Beijing, and his household registration followed him there." Qi Tongwei talked about Hou Liangping's past.

He is from Handong, transferred to Beijing for work, and likes Peking Opera. Except for the fact that he likes Peking Opera, everything else is normal. When Yu Xian was investigating Dafeng Factory, he was quite puzzled. His childhood friend Cai Chenggong came to Handong to do business out of boredom. Now it makes sense.

"So that's the case. I'm sorry, Director Hou!" Yu Xian said with a smile.

"That's not a problem. I'm new in Handong, and I've heard about District Chief Sun's past!" Hou Liangping also responded.

"Director Hou, you may not know that District Chief Sun has been in Guangming District for 20 years. The economy of Guangming District ranks among the best in Handong and even in the whole country, right, District Chief Sun?" Gao Xiaoqin's eyes were full of admiration.

"Mr. Gao, you're joking. Our Handong is a major economic province, and Guangming District is the core area of the provincial capital, so economic development is inevitable. In such an environment, in such an era and historical background, putting a pig in the position of Guangming District's district chief will not affect its economic status. I dare not take the credit for this." Yu Xian said this but his smile was extremely bright.

"District Chief Sun is just modest. Think about it, before Ding Yizhen came, Guangming District was the best in Handong in terms of development. After Ding Yizhen came, Guangming District's status remained the same. This shows that District Chief Sun's contribution is objectively real." Qi Tongwei could only chime in.

"I dare not agree with what Director Qi said. Guangming District is what it is today because of the efforts of organizations and governments at all levels of the country, provinces and cities, as well as hundreds of thousands of people. How can I, Sun Liancheng, have the right to say that Guangming District is what it is today because of me, Sun Liancheng. I shall be struck by lightning!" Yu Xian waved his hand.
