Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 804 Overthrowing the Food Bureau

Li Hainiao watched Qi Tongwei's car go away and sighed. He didn't think that a cadre of Qi Tongwei's level would just hang out there. He had come into contact with so many ministerial-level cadres, and each of them would think five steps ahead before doing anything and prepare several plans. It seemed that the leader wanted to give him a warning.

"A few days ago, this person in charge seemed to be very friendly and laughed at Lao Hu's joke, but today he gave me a warning."

Li Hainiao turned around, got into the car, and began to urge his subordinates.

"Hurry, hurry, all teams take action immediately.

We have obtained permission to directly arrest Liang Mancang, member of the Party Leadership Group of the National Development and Reform Commission and Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Director of the Grain Bureau.

Two teams went to the antique shop near the East Fourth Ring Road, and two teams went directly to the Development and Reform Commission building to arrest Liang Mancang, director of the Grain Bureau, and Zhou Cheng, chief engineer. "

Yes, the two sentences Qi Tongwei just said approved the arrest of a deputy ministerial-level cadre. This is the authority of the deputy secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and the director of the Grain Bureau is also a deputy ministerial-level cadre.

However, arresting people is not a random thing. Qi Tongwei has communicated with his superiors on this case many times and obtained their full support. That's why he had the authority to arrest the deputy minister at this time.

In the afternoon, Li Hainiao assembled a large capture team and cooperated with Hu Haiou's team from the Second Supervisory Office to control a number of cadres outside the grain system, including the insider Zhang Zhifei.

It is no exaggeration to say that the entire Grain Bureau was wiped out. The director was arrested, two deputy ministerial-level officials were arrested, including the five fake cadres, and three deputy ministerial-level officials, including chief engineer Zhou Cheng.

Of the eleven members of the Grain Bureau’s Party Leadership Group, five were arrested, all of whom were high-ranking cadres.

The additional cadres all found relevant evidence in the antique shop. After consulting Qi Tongwei, Li Hainiao decisively controlled the people first and then completed other procedures.

Such a large-scale arrest shocked the entire Development and Reform Commission and even other departments in Beijing.

A few days later, just after work in the morning, as soon as Qi Tongwei sat down in his office, the phone rang. It was answered by the secretary.

"Deputy Secretary Qi, Director of the Development and Reform Commission, Director Gao wants to speak to you."

Qi Tongwei was a little surprised. It was against the rules for the director of the Development and Reform Commission to call him directly. At this time, Qi Tongwei could have directly refused because the nature of his work was very independent. In theory, he was only responsible to the head of the Discipline Inspection Commission and the committee. He was just a director of the Development and Reform Commission. Even if his rank was very high, no one could interfere with his actions.

He asked directly without stopping to sign.

"Did he say anything?"

The secretary replied.

"Director Gao just said that he wanted to discuss something with you."

Qi Tongwei just shook his hand.

"No, hang up."

Yes, this is Qi Tongwei's final choice. He is the deputy secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, not the executive deputy mayor who is in charge of the economy. His current position is not suitable for socializing at all. If Qi Tongwei drinks tea and wine with other leading cadres every day, he will be criticized by his superiors. You have such a good relationship with them, how will you do your work in the future?

This position is destined to be like that of Yinzhen, a lone minister. If there is no political sensitivity at all, the leaders would not choose Qi Tongwei to sit in this chair.

The Development and Reform Commission.

Director Gao was holding the microphone and listening to the busy tone on the other end, a little stunned. He didn't expect Qi Tongwei to not answer the phone at all and not give him face. You have to know that he is a powerful figure in the whole capital.

"Director, what's going on?

They can't just do this, they arrested the head of the Grain Bureau so arbitrarily, along with four deputies, the entire Grain Bureau was almost paralyzed.

And why didn’t you say hello to our Development and Reform Commission…”

In the office, another deputy director was still chattering and complaining, but Director Gao felt a strong sense of crisis and began to feel cold all over. The reason was simple: the boss did not inform him beforehand about such a large-scale arrest operation.

It is absolutely impossible to say that the boss didn't know about it, because Qi Tongwei was transferred there by the boss himself.

"Shut up and get out."

The deputy director walked out of the office in a depressed mood after being yelled at by Director Gao. Director Gao sat in the chair in a daze.

He began to think back on his experiences over the past few years. Almost all of his subordinate second-level departments were wiped out, but he, as the top leader, didn't even receive any news. This situation was definitely not normal, and he was afraid that his superiors' trust in him had come to an end.

The position of director of the National Development and Reform Commission is indeed extremely powerful, which has made him a little inflated in recent years. He also imagined that he would be able to move up to the next level after the change of leadership next year, but this incident told him that he had no chance.

Director Gao wanted to struggle one last time, but he did not call the boss, but Secretary Xue of the Jiangzhou Municipal Party Committee. Director Gao and Secretary Xue were partners back then and their cooperation was quite pleasant.

"Lao Gao, you said you called Qi Tongwei?

Are you crazy?

Have you forgotten all the principles of the organization?"

Director Gao never expected that Secretary Xue would be so furious about his phone call to Qi Tongwei to inquire about the case.

"Old Xue, I just want to ask about the situation."

"What's the situation?

You know who you should ask. Why don't you go and ask the deputy prime minister in charge?

The Grain Bureau is a second-level agency of your department, and you are half a party involved. Yet you still go to the Discipline Inspection Commission to inquire. How dare you do that?

Lao Gao, have you been blinded by your position as director and think that you are the most powerful person in the world?

I have reminded you before that you must know your place."

Director Gao knew that if Secretary Xue didn't regard him as a friend, he would never say such a thing.

"Old Xue, what should I do?"

“Hey, isn’t this signal obvious?

The management wants you to step aside, and you will most likely go to the CPPCC next year.

Don't think too much about it, just be honest, and if you are punished, just bow your head and accept it."

Secretary Xue was also helpless. Director Gao was his good friend, but he was too old, much older than him. Although his own position would change in the next term, after waiting for a few more years, Gao's age would have reached that point. In addition, Gao's performance in recent years did not catch the eyes of the management.

However, Secretary Xue did not expect that at his age, Lao Gao would still be so reckless and actually call the head of the Discipline Inspection Commission directly. Even a young man like Qi Tongwei knew that the two could not talk on the phone, so he hung up directly.

It seems that some people are suitable to be officials, while some are only suitable to be deputies. The political sensitivity is completely incomparable.

Qi Tongwei naturally didn't know about these things, nor did he care. At this time, he was listening to the reports from the heads of the two inspection offices.
