Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 450: Stadium, Shopping Mall, and Officialdom

With something on his mind, Liang Zhiyuan seemed absent-minded during his date with Xu Xiaoman.

"Hey, Zhiyuan, are you annoyed with me, or are you thinking about having a lover?" Xu Xiaoman was a little unhappy when she noticed it.

Liang Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, "No, I'm thinking about work."

Xu Xiaoman said in disbelief, "Really? I heard that you're pretty close to a nurse named Qin Mei from Haibei District Hospital."

"That's not true. She and I are just ordinary friends." Liang Zhiyuan said, "I really want to work. The bureau is promoting a general affairs section chief recently, and I'm one of the candidates."

Xu Xiaoman said happily: "Really? That's great."

Xu Xiaoman likes Liang Zhiyuan because of his honesty and high education. In fashionable terms, he is a potential stock.

In order to cultivate this potential stock, Xu Xiaoman has put in a lot of effort and often instilled the ways of the world into Liang Zhiyuan. Now it seems that everything has paid off.

He jumped two levels in less than three years. He has a bright future.

Liang Zhiyuan said unhappily, "What's good about that? I think there's no hope for me."

"Why?" Xu Xiaoman counted on her fingers and analyzed, "Look at you, you have a master's degree and you're young. You fit the current requirements of the higher-ups for young and knowledgeable leading cadres. Who else in your bureau can be your rival?

Besides, you have your cousin behind you, so Director Wen should at least consider Secretary Qi's opinion."

Liang Zhiyuan snorted, "Then you are right. Now our Director Wen is taking Secretary Qi's thoughts into consideration."

Liang Zhiyuan recounted the afternoon's conversation in detail.

Xu Xiaoman immediately realized, "Director Wen is looking at Secretary Qi's attitude."

"Who says it isn't?"

"That's not easy. I think Secretary Qi is good to you. As long as you ask, he will definitely help you."

Liang Zhiyuan suddenly became angry and said, "I won't tell you. It's so embarrassing."

Xu Xiaoman had known her husband for so long, and they were getting married next month. She was still unsure of her fiancé's thoughts, so she lectured him, "Zhiyuan, what's so shameful about this? If you want to climb up in the officialdom, it's useless to rely on your ability alone. The most important thing is political resources and having someone speak for you.

Even if you are capable, there must be someone who appreciates you and thinks you are capable.

Besides, Director Wen didn't force you to ask Secretary Qi to say hello. He just asked you to invite Secretary Qi to dinner. Even if there is a political exchange behind the scenes, it will not affect you. By inviting Secretary Qi, you have completed your own political exchange. It's a sure-win deal, so why not do it?

Besides, it was thanks to him that you were able to become the deputy section chief last time. Shouldn't we thank him? If it really doesn't work, we are going to have a wedding next month, so we should at least invite him to our home first."

Seeing that Liang Zhiyuan was still fussy, Xu Xiaoman couldn't help but sigh.

Her fiancé is good in every way except that he is always a little slow in dealing with people and is a bit too concerned about his reputation.

"Zhiyuan, if it's difficult for you to go, then I'll go and tell them that the flood prevention work is over and our epidemic prevention station will go down to Jiangchang to guide the work. I'll tell them that I'll visit Secretary Qi while I'm going to Jiangchang to guide the work."

"Xiao Man... this isn't... good. I don't know how Secretary Qi will look at me then."

"Do you really want to be the section chief?" Xu Xiaoman didn't want to say any more and directly forced the other party into a dead end.

Liang Zhiyuan glanced at Xu Xiaoman, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.

……

A golf course in Haizhou.

Jin Changguo, dressed in sportswear, swung the club hard, and the golf ball drew a beautiful arc in the air and fell accurately into the hole.

"Good shot." Guo Xiaopeng applauded. "Mayor, your golf skills are getting better and better. Even if you participate in the Eagle Country Open, you will definitely get a good place."

Jin Changguo handed the golf club to the caddy and expressed his thoughts as he walked: "Playing golf is actually the same as being an official.

You must be clear about your goal and then use the fastest means to achieve it. The fewer moves you make, the fewer flaws you will have, and the greater the pressure you will put on the enemy. Only in this way can you remain calm and composed."

"Well, what you said makes sense. I think your ideas are also applicable in the business world."

"Whether it's applicable or not depends on the individual. Whether it's in government, business, or on the golf course, individual character plays a decisive role." Jin Changguo pointed to a patch of woods on the golf course and said, "Look, if the hole is over there, some people will choose to be safe and go around it, while others will take a shortcut and go straight through.

Going around is a little more troublesome, but the risk is minimal. Going straight through the woods offers great benefits, but also great risks. Once you're trapped in the woods, the obstacles you face will be unpredictable, and you might even lose the game.

Guo Xiaopeng asked with great interest: "If you were to choose, would you choose to go around or go straight through?"

Jin Changguo said: "If it were me, it would involve another question, whether I am behind or ahead.

If I'm ahead, I'll be more cautious. If I'm behind, I have to take a gamble to win the game.

Unfortunately, in this respect, the football field, the political arena, and the business world are somewhat different.”

"Oh? Please enlighten me."

"You can gamble on the court anytime, but in business, you should gamble less. As for the political world, it's best not to gamble at all. Because if you lose on the court, you can always try again next time. If you lose in business, you can start over, even if it's difficult. But in the political world, if you lose once, you're doomed. There's no chance of recovery."

Guo Xiaopeng nodded in agreement, "Indeed, I've learned something from you."

As they were talking, the two of them had already reached the temporary rest area. While they were sitting down, the caddy served them tea at just the right time.

Jin Changguo took a sip and asked, "Mr. Guo, I heard that your Haizhou Pharmaceutical has a young and beautiful general manager."

"Yes, Shengtian Group has invested a lot of money, so naturally they want to have a certain say. This is a common practice in the business world."

"Is she really from Shengtian Group?" Jin Changguo hinted.

"Well, her name is Wang Jingwen. She is a top student at the University of Hong Kong. We have checked it specifically." Guo Xiaopeng confirmed.

Jin Changguo still had some doubts, but when he thought about it, he realized that Shengtian Group had only been established for a short time and it should not have any impact on the prestigious University of Hong Kong.

Jin Changguo seemed to have just remembered, "I remember that the president of Shengtian Group is the wife of Qi Tongwei, a member of the Standing Committee of our Municipal Party Committee."

"Yes, speaking of this, I also want to thank Secretary Qi for his matchmaking, otherwise I would not have received this investment."

Jin Changguo smiled and said, "Comrade Tongwei is not simple. His wife is a big CEO, his teacher is the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, and he is still young and promising. It's really enviable."

Speaking of this, the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, Jin Changguo, emphasized his tone.

Guo Xiaopeng heard the reminder and glanced at Jin Changguo.

Before Guo Xiaopeng could digest Jin Changguo's meaning, the latter immediately joked, "Shengtian Group is really interesting. Knowing that you, Mr. Guo, are a bachelor, they immediately sent you a beautiful woman. You are so lucky."
