I really don't want to be an official if I transmigrate into Qi Tongwei's life.

Chapter 279 The Organization's Test

Of course, Ye Xingguo is not without connections. He is related to the same clan as Ye Lao in Shanghai. His father was also a veteran of the Long March and passed away in the 70s. However, some of his father's comrades-in-arms are still alive, such as Qin Lao in Beijing.

"Secretary Li, I will follow the organization's arrangements."

Li Yong'an nodded. He admired Ye Xingguo for his composure and flexibility in the face of adversity. The economy of eastern Guangdong was leading the country, and as the top leader, Ye Xingguo had his own considerations. Unity and stability were paramount.

"Comrade Xingguo, don't overthink it. The evaluation of provincial party committee cadres also takes time. Since some comrades have some opinions, I suggest you let Comrade Qi Tongwei rest for a while."

"Sacrificing a pawn to save the king"—Ye Xingguo understood this meaning from Li Yong'an's words. He was very unwilling. In fact, they hadn't caught any big fish yet, and hadn't even taken down a major gang. However, in some people's eyes, it had already touched their interests. It was terrifying. He really wanted to see just how deep the waters of Tianhe City were.

"Secretary Li, Comrade Qi Tongwei has indeed been very busy during his stay in Tianhe City. It would be good for him to take a break."

"Comrade Xingguo, your responsible attitude is excellent. In fact, all comrades are doing their jobs well, just in different ways. Don't be discouraged, Comrade Qi Tongwei. He is still young and must withstand the test of the organization."

Li Yong'an's remarks essentially signaled the end of Qi Tongwei's work in eastern Guangdong.

"Yes, Secretary Li, I'll talk to Comrade Qi Tongwei when I get back. I'm sure he'll understand."

Ye Xingguo felt helpless. This was political struggle; what seemed like a mundane conversation was actually an unquestionable order.

The opponent's move—promoting him and letting him go—was so cleverly executed that it was hard to find fault with it.

After Ye Xingguo left, Li Yong'an asked, "Xiao Zhou, what do you think of this Comrade Qi Tongwei?"

Secretary Zhou had investigated some of the things Qi Tongwei had done in Tianhe City. From the perspective of ordinary people, they could admire someone who was not afraid of power. But from the perspective of officialdom, he was a bit reckless and could easily be crushed.

"Secretary Li, I see that Director Ye values ​​Comrade Qi Tongwei highly, so I believe he must have some extraordinary qualities."

Li Yong'an laughed heartily, "Little Zhou, you're trying to fool me."

Secretary Zhou smiled but didn't say anything. It's hard to fathom the thoughts of your superiors; the safest way to navigate officialdom is to talk less and do more.

Ye Xingguo returned to his office and asked his secretary to call Qi Tongwei over. Why did Director Ye suddenly seem distant? He had a bad feeling.

Shortly after, Qi Tongwei arrived at Ye Xingguo's office. "Director Ye, what do you need me for? You could have just given me a heads-up over the phone."

Ye Xingguo waved his hand, "Sit down first. You've been here for so long, and I haven't had a proper chat with you yet. Now that we have some free time, let's talk."

Qi Tongwei sat down. Ye Xingguo's politeness left him somewhat bewildered.

"Director Ye, stop playing games with me. Just tell me what's on your mind. Is it because of my actions that you're under pressure from above?"

Ye Xingguo took a sip of tea. It was indeed difficult to say these words. After all, he was the one who transferred the person from another place. Now that the person was doing a good job, suddenly telling him not to do it would definitely make the young man feel resentful.

"I've noticed you've been busy with cases every day since you arrived. Have you complained even once?"

Qi Tongwei laughed and said, "Director Ye, I do it willingly. To be honest, I feel a great sense of accomplishment when I catch bad guys."

Ye Xingguo decided to get straight to the point and didn't want to beat around the bush. "I want you to take a break for a while. You can go back to Kyoto to see Xiaoxue. Young people in a relationship shouldn't be separated for too long."

Qi Tongwei was mentally prepared, but these words still gave him a heavy sense of loss. He wasn't stupid. Without Ye Xingguo's support, he was nothing and couldn't do anything. What use was his enthusiasm if he had nothing to show for it?

"Director Ye, it seems you can't withstand the pressure from above."

Ye Xingguo shook his head, then laughed in exasperation, "You really have no respect for your elders. I'm not discussing this with you. You must learn to obey the organization's arrangements. You can have your own personality, but you can't disregard principles."

It seemed the die was cast and couldn't be changed. Qi Tongwei really wanted to see things through to the end. "Director Ye, give me three more days. I'll leave once this case is resolved."

Ye Xingguo asked doubtfully, "Is it Kang Yaozong's son's case?"

Qi Tongwei didn't hide anything; he needed Ye Xingguo's full support now, and it would be better if Ye left. "No, it's a drug deal; we'll have results in the next couple of days."

Ye Xingguo considered it for a moment. If they could really catch the drug trafficking gang, then this kid's trip would not have been in vain.

"Three days. I'm only giving you three days, starting today."

"it is good"

There's no point in haggling now. Qi Tongwei's expression was grave. He let out a long sigh, feeling unwilling to give up.

As Qi Tongwei walked out of Ye Xingguo's office, he mentally cheered himself on, knowing that success or failure hinged on this moment.

Ye Xingguo sat in his office, his face serious, equally unwilling to accept defeat.

Chenjiazhai.

Chen Wenxiong smiled and said, "It's basically confirmed that Ye Xingguo will be appointed as the governor or executive vice governor of a province in the southwest."

Chen Wenru exclaimed excitedly, "Big brother, that's great! With Ye Xingguo gone, that kid is nothing!"

Chen Wenjie analyzed, "Ye Xingguo will definitely take that kid away, which will make it difficult to touch him."

"No, we can't let that kid get away with this. He has to pay the price."

Chen Wenru is vengeful and will let Qi Tongwei leave alive, but she will at least break his arms or legs.

Chen Wenbo laughed and said, "Little sister, that kid has offended so many people, the Kang brothers and Qiu Jinkun won't let him off the hook. We just need to wait and watch the show. Why dirty our hands and get splattered with blood?"

"Little sister, Fourth Brother is right. We shouldn't cause any problems at this critical juncture. You should keep Zhihu in check."

Chen Wenxiong remained calm. Ye Xingguo still had powerful backers. Before things were settled, no one could be careless, and Chenjiazhai should not be implicated.

With her elder brother's words, Chen Wenru still dared not disobey, replying, "Yes, elder brother."

That night, after disguising himself, Qi Tongwei replaced Wu Dali, who was monitoring and tracking Yu Haichao. In this final gamble, he wanted to ensure that everything went perfectly.

In the early hours of the morning, Lu Jin took Yu Haichao and a group of brothers into a nightclub. The transaction was going to happen tomorrow, and he wanted to treat his brothers to a good time tonight.

Inside the private room, Lu Jin had two women on either side of him, saying, "Brothers, don't think about anything tonight, just have fun!"

"Thank you, Brother Lu."

"Thank you, Brother Lu."

"Thank you, Brother Lu."

Yu Haichao buried his head in the young lady's chest and became an informant. He could only survive as a human by becoming a ghost.

Lu Jin grabbed Yu Haichao's shoulder. "Haichao, stop playing around with the girls, come have a drink with the brothers."

Yu Haichao wiped the drool from his mouth, raised his glass, and said, "Brothers, enough said, everything's in the drink, cheers!"
