Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 447 Guo Wen's Growth

Kong Changling seemed to see through Guo Wen's thoughts and said with a smile: "Guo Wen, I have news to tell you."

"You say."

"Secretary Qi came to talk to me a few days ago and specifically mentioned that he might be leaving Haizhou."

Guo Wen was overjoyed, "Uncle Kong, does that mean I'll have a chance in the future..."

Kong Changling shook his head and said seriously, "If Secretary Qi leaves Haizhou, I think you will never make a name for yourself in this life."

"Why."

"Think about it. After all, your father was taken down by Secretary Qi. So you are the son of a political enemy. Even if he is magnanimous and doesn't bother with you, what about the people under him? What about the confidants he promoted? Will they have any ideas about you?

Besides, he is not stepping down. The most likely reason for his departure is a promotion. Moreover, his teacher is still in Haizhou and is the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee. He may become the secretary of the municipal party committee in the future. Who would dare to promote you at the risk of offending him and his teacher?

In addition, according to our policy, your father has violated the criminal law after all. Although we are a minority, it will still have more or less impact on your entry into government departments. Moreover, your father has not left many political resources. Even if we want to help you, we are afraid that someone will make a big deal out of it.

So if you want to break through this obstacle, you can only follow Secretary Qi's path. If he lets you go, you will be able to take this step. Otherwise..."

Guo Wen was filled with worry. "Uncle Kong, does that mean I'll never have the chance to enter politics?"

Kong Changling smiled but said nothing, instead lighting a cigarette.

When Guo Wen saw the other party's behavior, he immediately understood, "Uncle Kong, you must have a way, right? Please teach me."

Kong Changling spoke slowly, laying the groundwork for the conversation before finally getting to the point. "Well, there's a way. It just depends on whether you're willing to do it."

"As long as I can get up there, I'd be willing to do it even if it means asking me to apologize to Qi Tongwei."

Although Guo Wen is still very powerful in the village, this is all due to the influence of his father and grandfather.

Once the old man is gone, who will care whose son he is?

As for her mother's family? His last name is Guo, not Kong. She has her own grandchildren. The prerequisite for a grandson to be prominent is that your father's family is powerful.

As time went by, no matter how slow he was, he could feel the subtle changes in those people.

For example, in the past, the younger generation in the village had to look up to him and bow and nod when they looked at him.

Now, a little-known Guo Tao suddenly appeared and dared to go against him, and even pulled his subordinate to form an alliance, making him look humiliated and suffer a heavy blow.

He increasingly understood that without power, he was nothing.

Kong Changling smiled and waved his hands, saying, "It's serious. There's no need to apologize. It's just a small matter. Haven't many people disappeared from your Guo Village recently?"

Guo Wen rushed to say, "I'm already fully investigating this matter. I'll definitely give an explanation to Secretary Qi and the county."

Kong Changling was delighted when he heard this, "That's right, you see, your attitude is very good. In fact, there is no unresolved grudge between you and Secretary Qi, and many things can be let go.

Don't think that he becomes your enemy just because he captured your father. That's too naive. To put it in a broader sense, countries have been fighting each other for decades.

Take us and Jiaopanji for example. We are still living in peace with each other now. In fact, our Haizhou is a friendly city with them, and we invite them to invest every year.

That's how politics works. It's not about the gimmicks you talk about, or compromises. The most important thing is how to achieve your goals and improve yourself, right?"

Guo Wen nodded in agreement. "Uncle Kong, you're right. We should look forward. Secretary Qi will only rise higher and higher. Revenge? I won't have the chance in this lifetime."

"Right, that's a lot to think of. I'm confident in leaving this matter to you." Kong Changling said, "I know where the missing people in your village are."

"where?"

Kong Changling stood up and walked to his desk drawer to take out a stack of documents, then returned to sit on the sofa in front of Guo Wen, "Look, it's all here."

Guo Wen took it and flipped through it quickly. There were more than a dozen arrest warrants on it. The charges included illegal purchase and sale of concealed proceeds of crime, fighting, causing injury and death, and so on.

"After investigation and verification, it was them who caused the river embankment to burst last time. It was man-made. However, this must not be revealed. Otherwise, the impact will be too great and it is likely to escalate into ethnic conflict. Our Wayi people will also become the target of public criticism. So, in order to prevent the situation from escalating, the higher-ups have listed some of their previous crimes and punished them severely for multiple crimes. It is very likely that they will be punished.

But I was afraid that the villagers would not accept the charge. Secretary Qi was also worried about this matter, fearing that there would be another mass incident in the village, so I volunteered to take on this task, not only to stabilize the township, but also to make them accept the facts.

Actually, I don’t really want to bother with this matter. After all, it’s not our Kong Village’s business, but I thought of you.”

"Me?" Guo Wen said unconfidently, "Uncle Kong, how can I solve something that even you are unsure of?"

"This problem is easy to solve. We can gather all the family members involved and explain the pros and cons. I'm sure anyone who isn't a fool will accept it. However, if we do that, with so many people talking, there's a chance that secrets will be leaked, and things will develop in an unpredictable direction.

What I mean is, if you can get the old man to put pressure on you and get the villagers to accept it, things will become perfect. Then I will tell Secretary Qi that you took on the heavy responsibility and handled it. I think he will definitely remember your contribution. Then, as long as he gives the word, it will be easy for you to enter the political arena."

Guo Wen fell silent, his reason telling him that this was a trap.

So many people were shot, and as the clan leader, he didn't stand up for everyone, but instead came to suppress everyone. He deserves to be scolded to death.

But what Kong Changling said was not wrong. Whether he did it or not, he could not change the fate of these people. Digging the dike was a life-threatening thing and no one could save them. If it got out of hand and let the relatives of those who drowned know about it, not only would the lives of more than a dozen people be lost, but the entire Wayi tribe might suffer, be isolated, and be beaten unconscious.

Seeing Guo Wen struggling, Kong Changling said meaningfully, "Is the old man in good health?"

"It's okay, but the power has been divided, so I feel a little depressed."

Kong Changling nodded. "He's old after all. This is all the old man wants. I'm really worried he can't handle this. You should show more concern for him. It's not easy for ordinary people to live to this age. He's ninety-six, right? I don't know if he can live past a hundred."

Guo Wen was stunned, as if he understood something.
