Chapter 84 I've struck it rich!
Holy crap, how else can we play this game?
Qi Tongwei was about to retort when Ji Changming's phone rang. It was Wen Zhengrong, the executive vice mayor, calling.
Upon seeing the leader, Ji Changming greeted him with a fawning smile, "Mayor Wen, what are your instructions?"
"Inspector Ji, have that kid Qi Tongwei come to the municipal government."
Ji Changming asked, somewhat puzzled, "Mayor Wen, I just suspended that kid from his duties for self-reflection. What do you need him for?"
Wen Zhengrong laughed, "It's good that he's stopped reflecting on his actions. Tell him to come over right now, I won't make things difficult for him."
Ji Changming breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, Mayor Wen, I'll have Qi Tongwei go over right away."
Qi Tongwei asked, puzzled, "Prosecutor Ji, what does Mayor Wen mean by this? Is he watching me make a fool of myself?"
"Hurry up and go. Mayor Wen is so busy all day, he doesn't have time to laugh at you. I'm warning you, watch your words."
"Ji Jian, didn't you say you'd give me a long vacation? How did it turn into a suspension for reflection? I did nothing wrong, what's there to reflect on?"
"Ancestors, I was wrong, go quickly!"
"Yes, Mr. Ji, I'll go and cause trouble at the city government again."
Ji Changming was so angry he was about to have a heart attack. "Get out!"
After leaving the procuratorate, Qi Tongwei hopped on a secondhand motorcycle and sped off toward the municipal government.
He gave his name, showed his ID for inspection, and the guards let him directly into the city hall.
The municipal government is responsible for the economic development of the entire city. With just a word from the mayor, a certain area can be given priority for development.
Zhang Shaofeng personally came to pick up Qi Tongwei and led him into the mayor's office.
Mayor Wen retired early and landed safely, which put Wen Zhengrong in a good mood.
Qi Tongwei straightened his back, his expression serious. "Mayor Wen, Qi Tongwei is reporting to you. What are your instructions?"
Wen Zhengrong sized up Qi Tongwei. The young man was quite handsome, but she had heard that he had a very foul mouth.
"Qi Tongwei, the municipal government needs to resolve the issue of those hundreds of workers at the garment company. Can you come up with a solution?"
Ye Xuan was right. Qi Tongwei smiled awkwardly, "Mayor Wen, I'm not even a minor official, how could I possibly solve the workers' problems?"
Wen Zhengrong pointed at Qi Tongwei with her pen, "You're so capable, everyone in Jingzhou knows you. I'm going to make you talk about it today."
Qi Tongwei initially wanted to struggle a bit, but then he steeled himself and decided to just say it; it wouldn't hurt him.
"Mayor Wen, you told me to say this, so you're not allowed to swear."
Wen Zhengrong was taken aback. "I allow you to speak your mind, kid."
Qi Tongwei took a deep breath. "Mayor Wen, the key to solving the workers' problems lies with the investors. I suggest that the Guangming District government invest in building an industrial park. A golden nest will naturally attract golden phoenixes."
Upon hearing this, Wen Zhengrong's eyes lit up. "The government is out of money. Where will the money come from?"
Qi Tongwei blurted out, "Bank."
Wen Zhengrong laughed, "Why should a bank lend you money?"
"In eastern Guangdong, buildings are being constructed at a rate of one floor every three days. They certainly have an advantage due to their proximity to Hong Kong, but now the whole country is developing its economy. Whoever can provide better supporting facilities will be more attractive."
"Banks lend money to the government without any risk. Given the current economic situation and the overall positive outlook for the country, what are banks afraid of?"
This kid has quite the nerve, asking, "What if the bank won't lend me the money?"
Qi Tongwei smiled ingratiatingly, "My words certainly have no effect, but if Mayor Wen says so, how dare the banks refuse to lend?"
Wen Zhengrong was speechless again; this kid was indeed lawless.
"Do you even know that banks aren't under government jurisdiction? You expect me to use my power to pressure them?"
Qi Tongwei was unfazed. "Mayor Wen, provincial capitals across the country are definitely a priority for development. Let's see which leader has the more courage. What's wrong with concentrating the province's resources to develop the provincial capital? Once the city's brand is established, investors will naturally come, because they're like mad dogs, eager to bite at any meat they see."
Wen Zhengrong looked at Qi Tongwei carefully. Why didn't you make him the governor? You even called investors mad dogs. Now, wherever investors go, they are honored guests of the government. No one dares to offend them.
"You've got a sharp tongue, kid. I'll transfer you to the municipal government."
"If Mayor Wen were to appoint me as the district head of Guangming District, I would take office immediately and guarantee to do a good job."
Wen Zhengrong was speechless. This kid really knew how to take advantage of any opportunity and dared to say anything.
"You're really out of control. I agree, but the organization won't. There's a business delegation going to Hong Kong in a couple of days, and you'll go with them. Your goal is to visit Mr. He. The He Group owns a clothing brand, and you need to find a way to get them to acquire the clothing factory."
"Mayor Wen, so this is what you really wanted to achieve? I thought you were going to promote me. I'm very willing to serve the people."
When Wen Zhengrong saw Qi Tongwei's shameless appearance, he really wanted to kick him out immediately, but he had no choice but to use this kid.
"If you can get this done, I'll promote you and transfer you to the municipal government office."
Qi Tongwei shrugged and sighed, "Forget it, the procuratorate is fine. I'll definitely do my best to complete the task Mayor Wen assigned me."
Wen Zhengrong could tolerate the less-than-ideal attitude, as long as the matter was handled well.
"Alright, I don't have time to talk to you anymore. Give your ID card to Secretary Zhang, and he'll get your passport processed."
Qi Tongwei chuckled, "Mayor Wen, aren't you afraid I'll run away?"
Wen Zhengrong's face darkened. This kid was really asking for trouble. "Secretary Zhang, take this kid out immediately."
"Mayor Wen, don't be angry. With your decisiveness, you'll definitely be able to borrow money from the bank."
Zhang Shaofeng gasped. If it were anyone else, Wen Zhengrong would probably be furious.
No wonder this kid was able to solve such a major case in Jingzhou, and he wasn't afraid of offending so many veteran comrades.
As I walked out of the city government building, the system's reward arrived.
[Congratulations, host! You have cracked Lu Peng's criminal gang, rescued an innocent girl, brought corrupt officials to justice, and upheld justice for the people. You have been awarded one merit-based lottery draw. Would you like to draw the lottery now?]
"Draw a prize now"
"Congratulations, host, on receiving 1000 million in cash, a Hong Kong horse racing 3T jackpot number (valid for one year), and a Hong Kong stock with at least a tenfold return."
"System, you're tempting me with so much money, how can I serve the people?"
[Host, stay true to your original aspirations and forge ahead with determination]
"Okay, thank you, System Daddy. I'll try to indulge my desires a little later."
[Host, indulging your desires will only harm yourself and others.]
"System, you can step down now."
The system was speechless; this kid was really using someone and then discarding them.
He parked his motorcycle at the Municipal Procuratorate, and Ye Xuan happened to be driving over to find him; the two of them had made an appointment the day before.
Qi Tongwei got into the passenger seat. "Reporter Ye, I've been suspended from my duties for self-reflection."
Ye Xuan laughed and said, "It's not surprising. You've offended too many people. If it weren't for your superiors protecting you, you would have been fired already."
"Reporter Ye is such a know-it-all! Guess where I just went?"
Ye Xuan wasn't going to put up with him. "Stop talking nonsense and tell me."
"I went to the municipal government; Mayor Wen wanted to see me."
Ye Xuan was a little surprised, "What does Mayor Wen want with you?"
"You're right, those hundreds of workers at the garment factory have become a problem for the municipal government."
Ye Xuan laughed, "What good will it do to come to you? Mayor Wen is just grasping at straws in his desperation."
"Reporter, your words to Mayor Wen are a bit arrogant."
"Arrogant? I don't think so."
"Reporter Ye truly lives up to her reputation as a woman who is just as capable as any man."
