Qi Tongwei: Can I be young again?

At this moment, under the care of the staff at the Royal Racecourse, these children were indeed very happy, and their laughter came from within.

Come to your senses.

"Miss Yu, you are a kind person."

"I wouldn't call myself a good person, I just can't stand seeing people suffer." After saying that, she gave a professional smile. "Let's not chat here anymore, the food in the private room is ready."

Seemingly afraid that Qi Tongwei would refuse, she added, "Director Qi, don't worry, it's all home-style dishes, and Director Li has already paid, so it's not considered breaking the rules."

"Since Director Li has already paid, then it can't be home-style dishes; at least it should be something like abalone or lobster."

"No!" Li Qingshui hurriedly waved his hand and said in a panic, "Tongwei, you know I'm a penniless wretch. This meal has already cost me a week's salary. We can't add any more dishes."

Chatting and laughing, the three of them entered the private room.

Just as Yu Youwei said, there were indeed no main dishes on the table, and most of them were vegetables.

Even the wine is just ordinary Anhui wine.

Yu Youwei stood up consciously, first filling Li Qingshui's glass, then Qi Tongwei's glass, and finally filling her own glass.

"Miss Yu, you drink alcohol too?"

"What do you mean by 'can't'? You'll naturally know how after drinking too much."

After saying that, she raised her glass first and took a small sip.

Li Qingshui and Qi Tongwei followed.

Setting down his wine glass, Li Qingshui said, "Tongwei, you've become quite famous lately."

"What kind of fame?"

"Still pretending." Li Qingshui chuckled. "I heard that your Third Procuratorial Department went all out this time, directly arresting Mayor Han."

"Well," Qi Tongwei said, feigning calmness, "there's nothing I can do. He's suspected of job-related crimes and he's gotten himself into trouble. I'm just doing my job."

"Mayor Han is a department-level official!"

“I know.” Qi Tongwei remained calm. “The arrest warrant was issued by the political and legal department. Even if it’s a ministerial-level official, let alone a department-level official, I still have to perform my duties.”

"If one day I also commit a crime, will you...?"

Before Li Qingshui could finish speaking, Qi Tongwei interrupted, "Director Li, you're joking again. Han Bing committed a job-related crime, but you are innocent."

Li Qingshui's eyebrows twitched. "Yes, yes, I'm innocent. I can't be confused with that guy."

After saying that, he raised his glass.

And so the three of them drank and chatted. Several times during the conversation, Li Qingshui tried to probe into Han Bing's case, but Qi Tongwei skillfully deflected his attempts each time.

This can't go on forever.

Finally, Yu Youwei got to the main point.

"Director Qi, to be honest, the land for the Huangle Horse Ranch was also approved by Han Bing."

Having said that, Qi Tongwei no longer held back, "Ms. Yu, the procuratorate knows about this."

"You know? Why didn't you come looking for me?"

"Because you are not a legal entity."

"Director Qi, so you knew everything."

“There’s nothing I can do, this is what I do for a living.” Qi Tongwei put down his chopsticks and said meaningfully, “Although Ms. Yu is not the legal representative, she is the largest shareholder here. I just don’t know if Ms. Yu can cooperate with our procuratorate to investigate the ins and outs of this matter.”

“I’m willing.” Yu Youwei agreed very readily. “Director Qi, I’m a legitimate businesswoman. If there’s really a problem with this land, I’m willing to cooperate with the investigation.”

"Where is the legal representative? Where is he?"

“You’re talking about Jack, right?” Yu Youwei said calmly. “He used to be my business partner. When we acquired this land, he was the one who found Han Bing. I really don’t know the specifics of how it was done. However, Jack is a free spirit. Half a year ago, he took ten million from me, saying he was going back to China to develop his career, and then he disappeared.”

Yu Youwei's words were watertight.

They not only distanced themselves from Han Bing, but also shifted all the blame to the foreigner, and most importantly, the foreigner has disappeared.

A brilliant move.

But then she changed the subject, saying, "If Jack and Mayor Han really have something going on and cause losses to the country, I can try my best to make amends."

"Make up for it?" Qi Tongwei chuckled. "That's 1.3 million yuan! Miss Yu, are you sure you want to fill this hole?"

“I don’t have that much money right now, but give me some time, and I won’t leave this problem to the country.”

The moment you say that, your perspective broadens.

Li Qingshui immediately clapped, "Miss Yu, it is truly an honor for Handong to have an entrepreneur like you."

After speaking about Yu Youwei, Li Qingshui looked at Qi Tongwei and asked, "Tongwei, Miss Yu has spoken. What's your response?"

How to say?

Qi Tongwei had nothing to say.

Yu Youwei's attitude was perfectly reasonable; she even elevated the issue to a higher level. If she could truly make up for the deficit, even Qu Jingchun would have no reason to cause trouble.

Seeing that Qi Tongwei remained silent, Yu Youwei continued, "Director Qi, you don't need to be in a difficult position. Although I am not the legal representative, I am the largest shareholder. If the country suffers losses because of Jack, I can take the blame. Whether it's making up for the deficit or imposing a fine, I will accept it. I just hope that the procuratorate can give me more time to raise the money."

“Miss Yu, I am just a section chief, and Han Bing has not yet given a clear explanation, so let’s not rush to conclusions.”

“Okay.” Yu Youwei raised her glass. “Director Qi, don’t worry, I won’t run away, and I won’t leave this mess to the country. I will definitely cooperate with whatever I’m supposed to do.”

This is not cooperation.

They were too cooperative.

Qi Tongwei didn't say anything, yet she wanted to make up for the deficit and pay the fine, which caught everyone off guard.

However, precisely because of her proactive attitude, she unknowingly shifted all the blame for the crimes onto the legal representative...

Use retreat to advance.

That's a brilliant tactic.

Chapter 129 Liang Qunfeng, Half a Son of Heaven

The meal was eaten very quickly.

It was only six o'clock when it ended.

As the fiery sunset hung in the sky, Qi Tongwei did not rush to say goodbye. Instead, he followed Yu Youwei and strolled leisurely around the Royal Music Racecourse.

To be honest, the environment here is really nice.

Coupled with the July sunset... absolutely stunning.

The two of them were in tandem.

Along the way, they encountered many children from the welfare home. When these children saw Yu Youwei, they would greet her warmly as "Aunt Yu".

Yu Youwei responded with a smile.

"Ms. Yu, how long will you be working at the orphanage?"

"It must have been twelve years," Yu Youwei said casually. "When I was still in school, I volunteered at the orphanage, and I've kept that habit for twelve years."

Twelve years...

Qi Tongwei was slightly moved.

He knew that Yu Youwei was not as simple as she appeared.

A gentleman judges by actions, not intentions.

It's really hard to dislike someone like that.

"Director Qi, I want to know, will Mayor Han ever be released from prison?"

"Disaster."

Those who commit crimes related to their official duties and involve huge sums of money will likely face life imprisonment even if they escape the death penalty.

"I see." Yu Youwei paused for a moment. "Then could I find some time to go see him?"

"Sure, but I must be present."

“Director Xie Qi.” Yu Youwei sighed heavily. “Actually, I warned him before, but he just wouldn’t listen. He thought that as a department head, he could control everything. It’s ridiculous.”

"Miss Yu, you know a lot."

“Is it a lot?” Yu Youwei chuckled. “In Handong, let alone a department head, even a minister has to act cautiously. It’s a pity… Mayor Han doesn’t understand this principle.”

"Miss Yu also studied law and political science?" For some reason, seeing Yu Youwei reminded Qi Tongwei of Pei Jing.

"No, I didn't go to university."

"It's even more remarkable that I've achieved what I have today without ever going to university."

"It wasn't easy," Yu Youwei said, gazing at the horizon. "It was incredibly difficult..."

Qi Tongwei didn't say anything more.

He was deeply moved today.

He originally thought that meeting Yu Youwei would be a fierce confrontation, but in reality, she was like a calm lake, not causing any ripples at all.
