Qi Tongwei: Can I be young again?

For money, they are capable of anything, resorting to any cruel method.

Retaliation against narcotics police is commonplace.

There was once an undercover police officer who ran into his own child in a shopping mall and was called "Dad" by the child... As a result, the next day, this anti-drug police officer's entire family was murdered, and the bloody scene even made the forensic doctor sick.

Qi Tongwei had seen too many of these things in his previous life.

Therefore, when Li Qingshui proposed the promotion ceremony, he refused. It was not easy to be reborn, and he was only human. He was also afraid of being retaliated against by ruthless drug dealers, so he tried not to be too ostentatious unless necessary.

Most importantly, the anti-drug operation in Yantai will reach a fever pitch in the near future, and that will be a truly life-or-death battle.

As a narcotics officer, Qi Tongwei had no choice.

I'll return to the team tomorrow.

Next, he will devote himself to his work and make a clean break with the drug dealers in Iwata City.

"Brother Qi, this is your little shop? It's really small, not even as big as my kitchen."

In the evening, Zhang Xiaoyu also arrived at Handong University. Looking at the small shop that Qi Tongwei had left her, she immediately launched into a tirade of complaints.

Qi Tongwei rolled his eyes at her.

"This is Handong University, where every inch of land is precious. Don't underestimate this small shop. If you run it well, you can earn much more than you would in a clothing factory."

"That's right, that's right. In the future, I will definitely run the store well and make lots and lots of money."

Zhang Xiaoyu has always been a little money-grubber.

However, Qi Tongwei invited her over not just for the simple business of running a small shop; he wanted financial freedom...

Chapter Thirteen: I Like Pressure

“Xiao Yu, I know you have an extraordinary sense for finance and stocks, so this shop is a part-time job. Your primary task is to make money by trading stocks.”

“You need capital to invest in stocks,” Zhang Xiaoyu muttered, explaining, “I had already planned before I came here that I would make money here at the convenience store first, and then invest it in the stock market. That way it would be safer.”

"If you want to make big money, you can't be timid and hesitant. Xiao Yu, let me ask you, which stock do you think is the best for the long term?"

“Liquor and pharmaceuticals,” Zhang Xiaoyu blurted out. “These two stocks are sure to rise, but the initial rise won’t be too fast. If you have money, you can buy some first.”

What about short-term trading?

"There are too many, but short-term trading is generally high-risk, high-reward; you can either lose or win."

Qi Tongwei was very satisfied.

Effort is often insignificant compared to talent. Zhang Xiaoyu's experiences in her previous life made Qi Tongwei believe in her unconditionally.

Let professionals do what they are good at.

Qi Tongwei took out all his belongings, a total of four thousand, and then placed them on the table.

“Xiao Yu, time waits for no one. Here is four thousand yuan, which is all my savings. Two thousand of it, as you said, will be invested in liquor and pharmaceuticals. The other two thousand, you can use for short-term trading. I don’t have high expectations. In six months, I want the principal of four thousand to turn into ten thousand.”

"Six months?" Zhang Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment. "Brother Qi, isn't your 150% profit margin a bit outrageous?"

Qi Tongwei certainly knew it was outrageous.

If Zhang Xiaoyu is the one who can do it, then it's not unreasonable at all. Besides, the stock market is booming right now, so why not!

“Xiao Yu, I invited you here not to keep you as a mistress. If you don’t produce results, I’ll have to let you go. So don’t talk about conditions. You only have a six-month probation period. You can do whatever you want with this four thousand yuan, but if you don’t see ten thousand yuan after six months, you can pack your things and leave. I don’t like useless people.”

"Brother Qi, you're really being rude."

"Let's be petty first, then be gentlemanly. If you can really make money, we'll set up a financial company. You can't contribute any money, you can just be the trader and own 49% of the shares!"

"Didn't we agree on 50%? Brother Qi, why did you change your mind at the last minute?"

"Your pockets are emptier than your face, how can you have the nerve to split the capital 50/50 with me?"

Zhang Xiaoyu was rendered speechless by the rebuttal.

After a long silence, she finally spoke, "49% it is, but I also have some requirements."

"explain."

"No one can interfere with how I operate, including you, Brother Qi."

"make a deal."

Qi Tongwei readily agreed, believing that those he doubted should not be employed, and those he employed should not be doubted. His vision was set on the treacherous officialdom, and the wealth in the stock market was merely icing on the cake.

After giving his confession, Qi Tongwei bought a train ticket to Yantai City overnight.

Upon arriving in Yantai City, we rushed to the hospital without stopping.

Chen Xiao is still undergoing emergency treatment.

The Narcotics Control Detachment of the Public Security Bureau in Yantai City has about one hundred people, who are divided into four brigades, each with its own unique work characteristics.

For example, the technical team's main job is to determine the type of drug based on its composition.

Or perhaps it's the intelligence unit, whose job is to provide intelligence; the most dangerous undercover positions come from this department.

There's also the Comprehensive Brigade, which mainly coordinates work, maintains contact with other departments, and eliminates external factors.

Qi Tongwei's department is the anti-drug brigade, which is also the largest brigade, with a full 50 people, accounting for half of the entire anti-drug branch. Their role is more like that of lone heroes, confronting drug traffickers head-on!

As the head of the anti-drug squad, Chen Xiao's attack has been classified as retaliation by drug traffickers.

This is also a provocation against the bottom line of every anti-drug police officer.

At this moment, the hospital corridor was filled with colleagues from the anti-drug squad, including Li Qingshui from the municipal bureau.

He leaned against the wall of the emergency room, his eyes closed, looking extremely exhausted.

The other colleagues were also silent.

It's no secret that Qi Tongwei has been promoted as he wished. He was originally the captain of the anti-drug squad, but he has been transferred to the criminal investigation branch. In other words, Qi Tongwei is now the core of the entire anti-drug squad.

"Captain Qi."

"Captain Qi."

"Captain Qi."

"..."

Upon seeing Qi Tongwei, all his colleagues addressed him as "Captain," a sign of their recognition of his abilities.

Despite his young age, Qi Tongwei is hardworking, decisive, and a top student. His performance in the anti-drug squad over the past two years has been evident to everyone.

If it weren't for Liang Lu's suppression, he would probably have been the captain long ago.

His colleagues were convinced of his promotion.

Qi Tongwei didn't speak, but nodded slightly to his colleagues as a greeting. Then, through the glass of the emergency room, he glanced at Chen Xiao, who was covered in tubes.

He exhaled a heavy breath.

Li Qingshui patted him on the shoulder, "Didn't you say you were going to return to the team tomorrow? Why are you here today?"

"I have enough time, so I came to check on Captain Chen. How is he? Is he out of danger?"

"The situation is not optimistic. The doctor said that if he does not wake up within a week, he is very likely to become a vegetable. Even if he wakes up, it will be difficult for him to work on the front line in the future."

Chen Xiao is in his early forties and has been working in the anti-drug field for ten years. Due to overwork, his health has long since deteriorated, and he has been taking medication for many years.

That's just how anti-drug work is; there's no room for complaint.

He originally planned to work for another two years before applying for a less demanding position. Now it seems, just as Li Qingshui said, that even if he wakes up, he will have to say goodbye to his anti-drug work for good.

Of course, this isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Chen Xiao got married late and has two children, one five years old and the other seven. He switched to a less demanding job so he can spend more time with his children and family.

At that moment, Qi Tongwei noticed a woman on the other side of the hospital corridor, facing the wall with her hands clasped together, seemingly in prayer.

Qi Tongwei knew her.

Chen Xiao's lover.

It's often said that more prayers have been heard on hospital walls than in churches, and that's absolutely true.

Chen Xiao's lover is a staunch materialist. If she had no other choice, why would she have poured out her wishes to the wall?

"Tongwei, come with me."

"Where?"

"Rooftop."

In 93, there was no light pollution, and you could see a dazzling array of stars just by standing on the rooftop.

A night breeze was blowing.

Li Qingshui handed Qi Tongwei a cigarette, then lit one for himself, the cigarette butt flickering in the wind.

"The province has issued a strict order: all drug dealers in Yantai City must be eradicated within six months. Now that Chen Xiao is unconscious, I have no choice but to take up arms as the commander-in-chief of this anti-drug operation. But you're under a lot of pressure too. You've only just been promoted and you're already facing such a difficult operation. Are you feeling the pressure?"

Qi Tongwei smiled.

"Pressure? I like pressure!"

"Okay, I knew I was right about you. It's getting late, you should go home early. Be at the Narcotics Control Team for the meeting at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."
