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

Chapter 42 Qi Tongwei's Division of Labor

The next day, Qi Tongwei went directly to the agricultural technology station after breakfast.

Qin Huai had already told him last night that Huang Youqian hadn't prepared an office for him, but had only added a table to the Party and Government Office.

Since that's the case, there's no need for him to wait at the Party and Government Office. Huang Youqian used to be a leader, and people had to wait to see him.

Now that I'm in charge, I'll make Huang Youqian wait.

Good morning, Qi Tongwei!

"Tongwei, congratulations!"

"Tongwei, when are you treating us?"

……

Upon arriving at the agricultural technology station, everyone greeted Qi Tongwei warmly.

When they returned last night, Yan Shihai told them that Qi Tongwei had been promoted to deputy township head.

"Thank you everyone. It will be at our agricultural technology station in a few days."

Qi Tongwei thanked everyone for their congratulations, saying that it was only right for him to treat his colleagues to a meal after his promotion.

The office was large, and everyone sat together.

"Based on national policies and regulations, and based on his outstanding performance during the probationary period, Comrade Qi Tongwei has been promoted to deputy township head. Let's all congratulate Comrade Qi Tongwei on his promotion!"

Yan Shih-hai announced Qi Tong-wei's promotion to deputy township head and the reasons for the promotion in order to avoid making some people uncomfortable.

Congratulations, Comrade Qi Tongwei!

A round of enthusiastic applause erupted in the office.

"Thank you everyone. I was promoted mainly because I have a master's degree. In terms of work, my performance is the same as everyone else's."

Qi Tongwei said that his outstanding performance in his work led to his promotion to deputy township head, but the main reason was his postgraduate degree.

This also serves as a reminder that improving one's educational level is very helpful when it comes to promotions.

Of course, the main purpose was to comfort everyone.

It's not that you lack ability, but that Qi Tongwei has a high level of education.

"From today onwards, Comrade Qi Tongwei is a leader in the township. From now on, we should call him Township Head Qi, and we can no longer call him Qi Tongwei or Tongwei as before!"

Yan Shihai said that in the past, everyone was colleagues and could call each other whatever they wanted, but now that Qi Tongwei is a leader, they have to call him leader.

This was also to leave a good impression on Qi Tongwei, who might be able to help him in the future.

"Understood, stationmaster."

The crowd said that as cadres, they understood these rules.

"Mayor Qi will no longer perform agricultural technical work due to work requirements."

After discussing it with Deputy Station Chief Tian, ​​we decided that Comrade Zhang Tianya would be in charge of vegetable planting, and Comrades Cao Ai and Zheng Xiaojun would take over the area that Township Head Qi was originally in charge of.

Don't worry about your workload being too heavy. Two new colleagues will be arriving soon, and the area will be adjusted accordingly.

Yan Shihai said that several new cadres would be arriving at the agricultural technology station in a few days.

After three months of training, they will be able to take charge of an area.

At that time, everyone's workload will be greatly reduced.

"Okay, Director!"

Zhang Tianya, Cao Aikang, and Zheng Xiaojun spoke.

According to the station chief, the agricultural technology station will have one more person than before.

Two or three months later, the area will be re-divided, and the number of villages each person is responsible for will be reduced.

After the meeting, Qi Tongwei handed over the responsibilities to Zhang Tianya, Cao Aikang, and Zheng Xiaojun.

After the handover, he was going to the township to see how the township head had made arrangements.

The work of the Gushanling Township government is handled by only the township head, deputy secretary, and two deputy township heads, and each of them has a lot of work to do.

Moreover, the deputy secretary is only responsible for family planning; all other work is handled by the township head and two deputy township heads.

Now that there's another Qi Tongwei, it's natural to assign some tasks to him to lighten the burden on the three of them.

Two days later, Qi Tongwei finished the handover and went to work in the township government.

Upon arriving at the Party and Government Office, Qi Tongwei discovered that Huang Youqian was not there, so he went to the second floor to find the township head.

"Good morning, Township Head, Deputy Township Head Zhu, Deputy Township Head Wang!"

Upon arriving at the township head's office, Qi Tongwei found that both the executive deputy township head, Zhu Zhiyong, and the deputy township head, Wang Ziwen, were present.

Good morning, Deputy Township Head Qi!

The three nodded, and Yan Maoqing gestured for Qi Tongwei to sit down.

"Township head, the handover at the agricultural technology station has been completed. Please make the arrangements now!"

Qi Tongwei said that from now on, he has officially taken on the role of deputy township head.

"Mayor Tongwei, I've discussed it with Mayors Zhiyong and Ziwen, and we've decided to put you in charge of education, culture, transportation, and industry and commerce."

He is in charge of the cultural broadcasting station, the education office, the passenger transport station, primary schools, middle schools, and the industrial and commercial bureau.

At the same time, he assisted Mayor Zhiyong in carrying out vegetable planting work.

I hope you can make breakthroughs in culture, education, transportation, and industry and commerce, bringing a fresh perspective to the work in the village.

"Working together with Township Head Zhiyong, we will improve vegetable cultivation and strive to make it the biggest highlight of the township."

Yan Maoqing said that in terms of culture, Gushanling Township has nothing to promote;

In terms of education, there are few students who go from primary school to junior high school, and even fewer students who go from junior high school to senior high school. The primary school and junior high school enrollment rates are the lowest in the county.

In terms of transportation, there is only one dirt road leading to the county seat, which is full of potholes, and there are no roads connecting the townships to the villages.

In terms of industry and commerce, there were only a few scattered shops on the street, and not a single enterprise.

Qi Tongwei is a man with ideas, and Yan Maoqing hopes that he can bring hope to the village.

Vegetable cultivation was originally started by Qi Tongwei, and he has always been in charge of it. With his involvement, things will be done even better.

"Okay, mayor! I will familiarize myself with the work as soon as possible, and then try to find a breakthrough."

Qi Tongwei said that there is a lot that can be done in the areas of culture, education, transportation, and industry and commerce, and there is a lot of room for development.

As long as you work hard, you can achieve some results.

Vegetable cultivation is my greatest achievement so far, and of course I want to expand it further.

However, he wasn't the one in charge; he was just an assistant.

However, as long as he continues to participate in this work, he will continue to receive credit for vegetable cultivation.

"Township Chief Tongwei, because the township's office conditions are limited, we can't arrange a separate office for you, and it would be inconvenient for you to work outside."

So for now, you and Mayor Ziwen will have to work in the same room!

Yan Maoqing knew that Huang Youqian hadn't arranged an office for Qi Tongwei; he'd only added a desk to the Party and Government Office.

This is a blatant provocation and humiliation of Qi Tongwei, and a disrespect for the leader.

Yan Maoqing was worried that Qi Tongwei, being young and impetuous, might argue with Huang Youqian, causing a negative impact.

After all, leaders are sometimes more able to endure hardship than their subordinates.

"Okay, Mayor, but won't this affect Mayor Ziwen's work?"

Qi Tongwei said that he doesn't care where he works; serving the people shouldn't be about being picky, and one should learn to overcome difficulties.

There are some things that subordinates may find inconvenient to report in front of others, which is why a dedicated office is needed.

"It's alright, Mayor Tongwei. We can learn from each other while working together."

Wang Ziwen said that it is somewhat inconvenient for two people to work together, but it is not insurmountable.

Instruct your subordinates to report from the office if it is convenient for them, and to report from elsewhere if it is inconvenient.

In normal work, there's generally nothing that's inconvenient to report in front of others.

Most of the things that are inconvenient to report in front of others are private matters.

The township head has already instructed us to maintain a good relationship with Qi Tongwei, as we might need his help when we go to Jingzhou to handle some business.

"Thank you, Mayor Ziwen!"

Qi Tongwei said that regardless of whether Wang Ziwen's intentions were genuine or just for show, it was a good start for him.

At least the second hurdle set by Party Secretary Wan Jiaxian has been overcome. The first hurdle was not to hold a meeting for the leadership team or a welcoming banquet.

"Let's invite Deputy Secretary Yu to dinner tonight."

Yan Maoqing said that the welcoming banquet still had to be held, but the Wan family would not hold one for now; he would do it.

The reason he was called Yu Huadong was because he was in charge of family planning, a task handled by the township government.

Yu Huadong is also considered part of the township government.

"Yes, Mayor!"
