Chapter 154 Do you like me?
Led by the waiter, Chen Hai immediately came to Qi Tongwei's private room.
He knocked on the door and opened it.
"Mr. Qi, is this the customer you are waiting for? Can we order now?" the waiter said calmly.
In the past, there were guests who would come to the private room and sit there for half an hour or an hour, and then leave without even ordering a cup of tea.
That's why the waiter is so anxious to ask them to order. After all, home-style restaurants are basically run by couples and cannot be compared with those high-end hotels and restaurants.
"Please write this down." Qi Tongwei said with a smile.
At this time, Chen Hai also walked in and sat next to Qi Tongwei.
Qi Tongwei quickly named six dishes. After the waiter took over, he closed the door and left with a smile on his face.
"Wei Ge, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." Chen Hai said with some apology.
At this moment, he felt more and more that Qi Tongwei had an unusual liking for him.
After all, I have had little contact with Qi Tongwei in the past twenty years. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for him to have such a good impression of me, unless...
"It's okay, I've only been here for a short while. Things in Handong Province are over. What are your plans?" Qi Tongwei said with a smile.
"I definitely hope to return to Beijing to develop. After all, being apart as a couple will affect the growth of their children." Chen Hai said politely.
"Although the capital is very good and the lower limit is relatively high, the competition is more intense than imagined, and the various personal relationships are intricate and complicated. It is better to stay in Handong Province." Qi Tongwei said in a deep voice.
After all, there has been a saying since ancient times that "the sky is high and the emperor is far away", and the closer you get to the grassroots, the more say the local leaders have.
"I'm afraid this is not a good idea, and Xiao Ai won't agree." Chen Hai said with some embarrassment.
How could he possibly stay in Handong Province when he had built up relationships in the capital for more than ten years?
"What's wrong with this? If you are willing, I will discuss it with Secretary Liu Xingguo and ask him to transfer Zhong Xiaoai to Handong Province as well. After all, it's not good for you and your wife to be separated for a long time." Qi Tongwei said calmly.
After hearing this, Chen Hai's thoughts became more determined. He couldn't help but ask, "Brother Wei, are you interested in me?"
Qi Tongwei looked at the other person in surprise, and moved back involuntarily, and said with a questioning look: "Chen Hai, what do you mean by this?"
He couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Could it be that it was his majestic and heroic appearance that completely fascinated Chen Hai and made him have such thoughts?
"Viagra..." Chen Hai wanted to explain.
"Wait a minute, don't call me Wei Ge. It makes me a little nervous. Just call me Governor Qi." Qi Tongwei said immediately.
"Governor Qi, why am I asking this? Mainly because your attitude towards me is different from that of others. Although we both graduated from Handong University, we haven't had much contact in these years. Your affection for me is a little different from that of ordinary people." Chen Hai couldn't help but say.
After he expressed his doubts, he felt a lot more relaxed.
Qi Tongwei immediately realized this, but he remained calm on the surface, and said calmly: "Chen Hai, you also know that we are alumni of Handong University, and I used to be your sister's boyfriend, so I treat you like this. I have a happy family now, with both sons and daughters, so don't think wrongly."
Although I was reborn, I am a normal person and don't have any special habits.
"I'm sorry, Governor Qi, I misunderstood you, but I still hope to return to Beijing to work." Chen Hai said.
"With your qualifications, I'm afraid you won't be able to be promoted to the rank of director general after you return to the capital? If you stay in Handong Province, I can guarantee that you will be promoted to director general and serve as the deputy procurator general of the Supreme People's Procuratorate of Handong Province next year." Qi Tongwei said seriously.
When Chen Hai heard these words, his expression suddenly became solemn. He never expected that Qi Tongwei would say such a thing.
"Governor Qi, thank you for your good intentions, but I believe in my abilities. In the Anti-Corruption Bureau, it will only take one or two years for me to be promoted to a director-level position," he said confidently.
"Your father-in-law doesn't dare to help you now, right? He will retire in two years, let alone help you get promoted to the vice-ministerial level." Qi Tongwei said seriously.
Although there is only one level difference between the director general and the vice-ministerial level, the experience of working in multiple positions can keep 99% of people out of the door.
"Governor Qi, how high a position is considered high? If I stay in Handong Province, the competition will probably be even more intense. What's more, I'm not a power-seeker. I just want to be with my family." Chen Hai said with some embarrassment.
"As long as I am here, there is no competition." Qi Tongwei said in a deep voice.
He glanced at Chen Hai and continued, "You should be very familiar with your wife Zhong Xiaoai's personality. If you wait until your father-in-law abdicates, she will probably run into problems."
When Chen Hai heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. It was really true.
"Governor Qi, I need to think about this matter. After all, I am willing to stay in Handong Province, and I have to convince Zhong Xiaoai." He said sincerely.
Now Zhong Xiaoai is only at the deputy department level, but even Director Qin Siyuan of the Anti-Corruption Bureau has to give her some face. All this is for the sake of her father-in-law.
Perhaps some people have long been dissatisfied with Zhong Xiaoai, but they just don't dare to express it.
"Sir, your food is ready," said the waiter as he opened the door.
They brought in the food one after another.
After leaving the private room, the waiter showed a look of disdain on his face and thought to himself: Just the two of you, and you claim to be the governor?
After the meal was served, Qi Tongwei and Chen Hai did not continue to talk about staying in Handong Province.
"Governor Qi, what exactly happened when I was under investigation at the Discipline Inspection Commission?" Chen Hai asked.
He came to Handong Province this time to make a great contribution, but before he could make any big noise, the matter was over. He couldn't help but feel curious.
Qi Tongwei then briefly told him what had happened in the past two days.
After listening to this, Chen Hai couldn't help but give Qi Tongwei a thumbs up.
"Governor Qi, congratulations. You have made great contributions this time. I think you can secure your position as vice governor."
Qi Tongwei shook his head and said without disguising, "I think I'll have to move to a new position. I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my position as vice governor. I'll have to go to the Party Committee to serve as the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission."
"Secretary Qi, congratulations in advance." Chen Hai said with a smile.
Although the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission ranks relatively low among the members of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee, he is a real member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee!
Qi Tongwei smiled and said, "There is a vast world with a lot to do. You can do more by staying in Handong Province."
