Chapter 335 Advises Chen Hai to Go to the Government and Pursue a PhD
After leaving Zeng Yishan's office, Qi Tongwei visited other provincial party committee leaders and provincial government leaders to congratulate them on their advancement.
Of course, Liang Qunfeng is an exception.
He still needs to work in Handong and requires the support of the provincial party committee and government leaders, so he needs to show a certain attitude.
Then, Qi Tongwei called the offices of Fan Shichang, Ma Qiyun, Guo Shuo, and Liu Qianjin to congratulate them on their promotions.
Because he was still waiting for the results of his new job assignment, Qi Tongwei went back to his hometown.
After staying at home for a day, Qi Tongwei returned to Jingzhou, worried that the province might suddenly make a decision and he wouldn't be able to be found.
It would be troublesome if they said his attitude was improper.
That evening, Qi Tongwei and Chen Hai had dinner at a restaurant.
"Senior, congratulations on becoming a full-fledged department head so quickly!"
Chen Hai said with an envious look.
Even someone from a family like his couldn't possibly climb to the rank of director in just five years, let alone someone like Qi Tongwei who came from the countryside.
Normally, someone like Qi Tongwei, who comes from a rural background, could at most climb to the rank of section chief.
This is assuming the candidate has the ability and is valued by the leadership.
After all, promotion requires taking it one step at a time and gaining experience in different positions.
Even with the same educational background and a higher starting point, he only climbed to the position of deputy director in five years.
This allows for rapid promotion while laying a solid foundation.
But Qi Tongwei broke with convention, starting from the lowest level of agricultural technology stations in townships and climbing up step by step, one step a year, or even two or three steps.
The speed of his promotion is astonishing.
"Thank you, Chen Hai, you can create such miracles too!"
Qi Tongwei said.
Chen Hai had a very high starting point; he joined the provincial procuratorate as soon as he started working, and his father, Chen Yanshi, was the vice chairman of the provincial CPPCC, a position at the vice-ministerial level.
Before Chen Yanshi retires, he will definitely be promoted to deputy director level and given an important position.
"Impossible! I'm not as good at economic development as you are!"
Qi Chenhai shook his head.
He was confident that he could be promoted to deputy director within five years, but he really wasn't confident about being promoted to director.
Qi Tongwei was able to rise from a township agricultural technology station staff member to a full-fledged division-level cadre in just five years because he was particularly good at developing the economy.
In the entire Handong region, no one can match Qi Tongwei in terms of developing the economy.
Because Qi Tongwei created a county with a value of 10 billion yuan, the Liang family couldn't suppress him no matter what they tried, and had no choice but to promote Qi Tongwei to the rank of director.
Otherwise, Qi Tongwei would have stayed in the deputy director position for several more years.
But a county with a GDP exceeding 10 billion yuan is too important for Handong. With such achievements, it would be unreasonable not to promote Qi Tongwei.
"Chen Hai, don't underestimate yourself!"
Like you, I studied law and political science for both my undergraduate and graduate degrees.
I didn't have the ability to develop the economy from the beginning; I learned it through trial and error on the job.
Of course, I later learned some economics!
What you need to do is leave the political and legal system and go to the government.
Upon arriving at the government level, I was assigned to serve as the executive deputy mayor of a township, where I continuously explored and experimented, while also learning some economic knowledge along the way.
"As long as you achieve results, are you still afraid of not getting promoted?"
Qi Tongwei said.
If Chen Hai wants to reach a higher position, he must go into the government sector.
In the political and legal system, although he will be steadily promoted, he may not reach the heights of his father, Chen Yanshi.
After all, Chen Yanshi had the support of his old comrades-in-arms, while Chen Hai did not.
The transition from a department head to a vice minister is a huge hurdle that is very difficult to overcome.
"But studying a few economics books won't do much good!"
Chen Hai said.
He also wanted to achieve outstanding results like Qi Tongwei and rise quickly to the top, eventually surpassing his father.
However, it might not be possible without a systematic study of economics.
Exploring and trying is a good approach, but it can easily lead to problems and disciplinary action.
Once you get a disciplinary action, it will affect your promotion.
"Then you should pursue a PhD in economics. Not only will you be able to systematically learn about economics, but you can also improve your academic qualifications."
Maybe you can use this doctorate to climb the ranks to a full department head faster!
Qi Tongwei said.
In this era, doctoral students are scarce, and a doctoral degree can help one climb the ranks to the level of a department head much faster.
"Senior, does a doctoral degree really lead to a faster promotion to department head?"
Chen Hai was somewhat puzzled.
He naturally knew that a degree would help him get promoted, otherwise he wouldn't have gone on to pursue a master's degree.
The goal is to become a deputy section chief and enjoy the benefits of a section chief as soon as you become a full section chief, then work for a year to be promoted to section chief, and work for two or three years to be promoted to deputy director.
This way, several years can be saved.
However, he was unaware of the role of a doctoral degree in cadre promotion, and he didn't know anyone with a doctoral degree.
"That's natural. Yi Xuexi, the former county party secretary of Jinshan County, was a doctoral student. He became a county party secretary at the level of a full-fledged department head as soon as he started working."
Qi Tongwei said.
Yi Xuexi, the former Party Secretary of Jinshan County, is the best example.
"Senior, did you also pursue a PhD in economics?"
Chen Hai asked.
Judging from Qi Tongwei's performance after he started working, he always had clear goals when it came to economic development, and he didn't just do things haphazardly.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to succeed at everything.
"Of course, I was worried that I would be crushed by the Liang family at the deputy section chief level, so I prepared in advance and got a doctorate in economics."
It allowed me to systematically learn about economics, enabling me to better contribute to economic development in my work.
I had achieved some success in Gushanling Township, but the Liang family transferred me to guard Xingfu Reservoir in an attempt to suppress me.
The county's top leaders couldn't stand it and promoted me to section chief as compensation.
Later, the leadership of Yantaishan County was adjusted. County Chief Lei Yaohua was transferred to Yunmeng County as the County Party Secretary, and I was chosen by him to be transferred to Biyun Township in Yunmeng County.
When I was in Biyun Township, I helped Zeng Yishan, the Party Secretary of the Municipal Committee, and Xu Jun, the Mayor, attract Xiangjiang Investment, which enabled me to be promoted to deputy director level.
During his time in Yunmeng Town, he created another town with an annual output value of over 100 million yuan, which earned him the appreciation of Executive Vice Governor Fan Shichang.
At that time, the Liang family specifically sent people to investigate me, wanting to bring me down.
I was originally supposed to be transferred to Yancheng District, but Liang Qunfeng sabotaged me and transferred me to Jinshan County in Lüzhou.
Fortunately, with the strong support of Secretary Fan and Minister Zeng at the time, I was able to be promoted to Deputy Secretary of the County Party Committee and Executive Deputy County Head.
When I arrived in Jinshan County, I knew that Jinshan County was very poor and it would be difficult to make great achievements. I planned to work there for a few years, make some achievements, and then use my doctoral degree to become a director in Jinshan.
But I created a county with a GDP of 10 billion yuan, making Handong one of the top ten counties in the country. The Liang family couldn't suppress me even if they wanted to.
Of course, a doctoral degree is unnecessary!
Qi Tongwei said.
He had already earned his doctorate and reported his academic qualifications to the organization.
"When did this happen? How come I didn't know?"
Chen Hai regrets that the best school for Qi Tongwei to pursue his doctorate was Handong University, which was convenient for attending classes.
But he never met Qi Tongwei at Handong University.
"I'm pursuing my PhD in Economics at Peking University in Beijing. If I were to study at Handong University, which professors wouldn't accept me?"
Moreover, a doctorate from Beijing University is more valuable and would be more helpful for my promotion to department head!
Qi Tongwei said.
The name "Kyoto University" is far more effective than "Handong University".
