At this time, it was the end of the year 2001, and some time had passed since the full-month celebration of Qi Tongwei's daughter.
Qi Tongwei held several important positions, including member of the Standing Committee of the Jinghai Municipal Party Committee, Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, and Secretary of the Party Committee of the Jinghai Municipal Public Security Bureau.
In just over a year of working in Jinghai, Qi Tongwei's rank had risen at a staggering pace, one that left people slack-jawed.

Only those within the government system paid close attention to these changes.
