I, Qi Tongwei, will never yield, even if it means defeating fate by half a move.

Chapter 176 The Township Head of Xiagou Township Visits

Qijia Village has undergone significant changes in the past year, or more accurately, in the last six months.

Many families have already built two-story houses, and many more are in the process of building small houses.

A new school has been built in the village, right next to the old primary school. A large area of ​​the foundation has been dug, and a three-story teaching building is basically completed.

After the New Year, the children will be able to move into spacious and bright new classrooms for classes.

There are two two-story buildings under construction nearby, which should be the teachers' dormitories and offices.

In addition to the school, the village committee building was also demolished and replaced with a three-story building, and a large square was added.

Qi Tongwei's family also built a new three-story house.

Qi's parents asked Qi Tongwei to build one as well, but Qi Tongwei refused.

"Awei, Mayor Jiang from the township is here!"

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Qi Tongwei was preparing to return to Yunmeng County when village party secretary Qi Danian and village head Qi Dalu arrived at Qi Tongwei's home with a man.

"Hello, Mayor Jiang! Happy New Year!"

Qi Tongwei greeted him warmly, even though Mayor Jiang's sudden visit had delayed his trip.

But this is the local official of Xiagou Township; we can't afford to offend him.

I'm fine, anyway, I'm not at home.

But if family members are here and offend the other party, and the other party targets family members, then it will be difficult for family members to handle matters in the township.

"Mayor Qi, Happy New Year! I am Jiang Yugang, the mayor of our township!"

Jiang Yugang warmly grasped Qi Tongwei's hand and said that his arrival was somewhat sudden and he was worried that Qi Tongwei would ignore him.

"Mayor Jiang, please come inside! Party Secretary and Village Chief, please come inside!"

Qi Tongwei welcomed the three into the living room, poured each of them a cup of hot tea, and offered them candy.

"Mayor Qi, congratulations to Gushanling Township on its outstanding achievements last year!"

Jiang Yugang offered his congratulations after sitting down.

Although he was half a rank higher, Qi Tongwei's Gushanling Township had achieved very good results in the past year.

Xiagou Township performed poorly last year, so I can't put on airs as the township head in front of Qi Tongwei.

His purpose in coming here was to get more investment into Qijia Village through Qi Tongwei.

Of all the villages in Xiagou Township, only Qijia Village has some money, and houses are being built everywhere.

"On behalf of my colleagues in Gushanling Township, I thank Township Head Jiang. I was transferred from Gushanling Township in early April last year. I stayed in Yanshan Township for three months before being transferred to Yunmeng County."

I'm currently working in Biyun Township, Yunmeng County!

Qi Tongwei explained that he had long since stopped working in Gushanling Township.

"Awei, you're not working in Gushanling Township anymore?"

Qi Danian and Qi Dalu were shocked. How come they had no idea? Dashan hadn't told them either.

"Yes, I'm currently working in Biyun Township, Yunmeng County."

Qi Tongwei explained again that he hadn't told his family or come back, and no one in the village knew that he had already been transferred from Gushanling Township.

"Mayor Qi, I'm so sorry, my information was delayed!"

Jiang Yugang said embarrassedly that he thought Qi Tongwei was still working in Gushanling Township, Yantaishan County.

"Awei, what position do you hold in Biyun Township, Yunmeng County?"

Qi Danian and Qi Dalu were very curious. Qi Tongwei had previously served as the deputy head of Gushanling Township, and he should also have served as the deputy head of Biyun Township in Yunmeng County after being transferred there.

However, this is just their speculation; what if Qi Tongwei gets promoted again?

"Just like Mayor Jiang!"

Qi Tongwei said that Jiang Yugang is the township head, and so is he.

"Awei, you've become the township head too?!"

Qi Danian and Qi Dalu were shocked. Qi Tongwei had only been working for a short time, yet he had already become the township head!

"Ok!"

Qi Tongwei nodded.

"Awei, you've become the township head?"

Qi Dashan brought in fruit that his wife had just washed, and then his son told him that he had become the township head.

"Yes, Dad, it's been half a year!"

Township Head Jiang should be aware that a serious corruption scandal occurred in Yunmeng County in the first half of the year.

In late June, I was given a critical mission: to handle the aftermath in Biyun Township!

Qi Tongwei then offered another explanation.

Congratulations, Mayor Qi!

I know about this; it was widely reported at the time!

Jiang Yugang said that a serious corruption incident occurred in Yunmeng County, resulting in the replacement of half of the county party committee and county government leaders.

How could he not know.

No wonder Qi Tongwei addressed him as "you" instead of "you" earlier; it turns out he considered him an equal.

Jiang Yugang was even a little jealous of Qi Tongwei, who became the township head after only two years of working.

I thought it was already quite remarkable that he became the township head after only eight years of working.

Compared to Qi Tongwei, I feel like I'm nothing.

"Alright, alright! Wei, you chat with Mayor Jiang, the Party Secretary, and the Village Chief for a while, your mother and I will go to the kitchen to get busy."

"Mayor Jiang, have some food before you go back!"

Qi Dashan said happily, "We should have a good celebration for our son becoming the township head."

Besides, since the township head is here, we should treat him well.

"Uncle, no need, I'll be going back to my hometown soon!"

Jiang Yugang quickly shook his head. He was happy that Qi Dashan invited him to dinner, but he still had to decline slightly.

"Mayor Jiang, let's have lunch before heading back to the township. It's a rare opportunity for you to come all this way, so please give us a chance!"

Qi Tongwei also said that although he didn't know why Jiang Yugang had come, he should definitely be entertained since he was here.

"Yes, Mayor Jiang, since you're already here, have some food before you leave!"

Qi Danian and Qi Dalu echoed, "The township head has come to Qijia Village; we can't let him go back hungry."

He rarely had the chance to be alone with the township head, so he wanted to chat with him as much as possible.

"Oh, right, Dad, could you also call the other village officials and uncles?"

Having more people would make Jiang Yugang look better.

Qi Dashan went to the kitchen and asked his wife, daughter-in-law, and daughter to cook, and told them the news that his son had become the township head.

"Really?"

"Great!"

Li Lanying, Zhang Cuiping, and Qi Tongyu were overjoyed.

"Mayor Qi, I've come to pay you a visit and also to ask you for advice on how our township should develop."

Jiang Yugang explained his purpose.

"Mayor Jiang, I am too kind to ask for your advice. Let's exchange ideas."

I've been away for a long time and am not familiar with the current situation in the township. I also don't have any good ideas on how our township should develop.

I can only share the experiences of Gushanling Township in Yantaishan County and Biyun Township in Yunmeng County for your reference…

Qi Tongwei explained the development plans for Gushanling Township and Biyun Township to Jiang Yugang.

"Thank you, Mayor Qi!"

Jiang Yugang was shocked after hearing this. No wonder Qi Tongwei was able to climb to the position of township head in just two years. He really had a way with people.

Vegetable planting, selling mountain products, processing mountain products, developing mountain product cultivation, road construction, electricity supply, animal husbandry...

Apart from road construction and electricity supply, which are purely investment-intensive, the other projects can generate considerable income for the people, helping them increase their income and live a better life.

"Mayor Jiang, you're too kind!"

After the meal, Qi Tongwei accompanied Jiang Yugang on a tour of the village and exchanged many opinions with him regarding the village's development.

Then, Qi Tongwei left with Jiang Yugang.

Upon arriving in the township, Jiang Yugang invited Qi Tongwei to sit at the township government office and have dinner together that evening.

Qi Tongwei refused; he needed to catch a bus in the county town and arrive in Biyun Township on the evening of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.
