A Half-Step Winner: Qi Tongwei's Journey to the League

The main text has been completed. Next, I will write a brief story about several important characters. If you don’t like it, you can skip it! Thank you again for your support.

Gao Yuliang, a scholar-type CPC member and jurist, has served as secretary of the Jinghai Municipal Party Committee, governor of Zhongjiang Province, and secretary of the Provincial Party Committee...

My name is Gao Yuliang. I am the former director of the Political Science and Law Department of Handong University and the Secretary of the Zhongjiang Provincial Party Committee.

Yes, I am retired and enjoy the same retirement benefits as Zhao Lichun.

My career path was very smooth and I encountered almost no major challenges, unlike my disciples who experienced many challenges.

Speaking of my career, it all started from the Political Science and Law Department of Handong University:

Like most men, I also desire power, a life where my words are final and I am the center of attention wherever I go.

Before entering the official career, I had been working in schools. My many years of teaching career made me a professor with a great influence on Handong’s political and legal system.

I am not satisfied with all this, I want to improve.

But I couldn’t find any opportunity, so I started looking for opportunities while teaching.

By chance, I came into the sight of Liang Qunfeng, deputy secretary of the Handong Provincial Party Committee and secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. Because of the personal relationship between his wife Wu Huifen and Liang Qunfeng's daughter Liang Lu, I was valued by him and was able to leave the education sector and enter the official career.

From then on, he began an ordinary yet fulfilling official career.

When talking about careers, I have to mention my students, Qi Tongwei, Hou Liangping, Chen Hai, Zhong Xiaoai...

The person I admire most here is Qi Tongwei. He came from an ordinary family, but relied on his own intelligence and talent to become the student president of Handong University. He is truly outstanding.

But sometimes being too good is not a good thing, and this is the case with Qi Tongwei.

Liang Lu fell in love with Qi Tongwei for personal reasons. For this reason, he did not hesitate to use his father Liang Qunfeng's power to assign Qi Tongwei to a remote township, under the pretext of: I am testing them!

Such a promising young man was suppressed by the powerful, and no one stood up to speak for him. Qi Tongwei could only work as a judicial assistant in a township judicial office in Dabeihu County.

As Qi Tongwei's teacher, I really wanted to help him, but the Liang family was not something that I, as the director of Handong's Political Science and Law Department, could shake, so I could only pretend I didn't know.

This made me feel ashamed, but I also made a secret decision.

In the future, I will try my best to help him within my ability.

But in fact, until today, I have hardly helped my students. Instead, he is the one who helps me. It can be said that without him, I would not be where I am today.

Let’s talk about Qi Tongwei.

What I didn't expect was that my student was so talented. He saved a lot of money by writing books, and was valued by Pei Yihong, secretary of the Hanjiang Provincial Party Committee, and became the son-in-law of the Pei family.

From then on, I formed an indissoluble bond with my good student Qi Tongwei in my career.

Qi Tongwei also got married at the same time as Hou Liangping, a student I really disliked.

Not long after he entered college, he won my daughter over with sweet words. The first time I saw him, I realized that he liked me, the director of the Political Science and Law Department of Handong University, not Fangfang.

I absolutely don't agree with them being together, but my daughter disagrees with me and insists on being with him.

Sure enough, not long after, Hou Liangping broke up with his daughter and set his sights on Zhong Xiaoai.

At this time, Zhong Xiaoai also came into my sight. Through investigation, I learned about Zhong Xiaoai's background, which made me despise Hou Liangping's character even more.

For some unknown reason, Hou Liangping was unable to catch up with Zhong Xiaoai in the end, and instead became Liang Qunfeng's son-in-law. We became people in the same camp.

I wanted to take revenge, but because of Liang Qun's involvement, I could only temporarily put aside my personal grudge with him. For this reason, my daughter ignored me for a long time.

The timing of my entry into officialdom was very coincidental; it was the golden age of China's reform and opening up. In addition, the Liang family was short of talented people, and his two sons could not fully accept his political assets for a while.

So, I became the transitional person, and with the support of Liang Qunfeng, I made rapid progress.

Just when everything was going smoothly, something happened to the Liang family, and it was directly related to my students.

Qi Tongwei's several articles completely caught the attention of the top management, and his resume was naturally dug out by everyone, so Liang Qunfen was completely demoted for violating regulations at work.

After losing Liang Qunfeng's support, my career path was temporarily put on the brakes. It was at this moment that I realized how power is played.

Just when I was at a loss, my good student Qi Tongwei helped me. Through his connection, I became the confidant of Secretary Li of the Provincial Party Committee, and my career path was back on track.

Everyone knows my path after that. First, with the cooperation of the good student Qi Tongwei, I led Jinghai to great development. Later, because I was not Zhao Lichun's confidant, I did not move.

My student Qi Tongwei stepped forward again. With his introduction, I made new connections, served as the governor and secretary of the Zhongjiang Province, and received the same treatment as Zhao Lichun before retirement.

To sum up my career, it has always been inseparable from one person, that is my student Qi Tongwei.

Qi Tongwei is the most outstanding talent I have ever met. He climbed up from a farmer's family to the position where he is about to take charge of the world today. Although he had the help of the Pei family, it was mainly due to his own ability.

This guy is a sentimental person. Many students who graduated from Handong University have received help from Qi Tongwei. The only unexpected one may be Hou Liangping.

When Qi Tongwei served as the Secretary of the Handong Provincial Party Committee, he froze personnel as soon as he took office, shattered Hou Liangping's dream of becoming a vice-provincial level official, and set off a number of major cases.

Hou Liangping was also imprisoned because of this case.

When I heard the news, I wasn't too surprised.

After all, there is a huge gap in strength between Hou Liangping and Qi Tongwei. They are not opponents of the same level at all, not to mention that the gap in their status is so huge.

Looking back on my career path, it has been very smooth and I have hardly encountered any decent opponents. To be honest, there are only Tian Guofu and Sha Ruijin.

Let’s talk about Tian Guofu first. Strictly speaking, he was not a real opponent. He fell down before I even had time to exert any strength.

As for Sha Ruijin, he did cause me a lot of pressure in the beginning and suppressed me in every way.

But this person was too overbearing and rude, and didn't understand the principle of "living in harmony with the world". This allowed me to seize the opportunity to unite many comrades. At the same time, he was very lacking in promoting local economic development.

Later, I seized the opportunity and found the right moment to make him lose the trust of his superiors and eventually retreat to the second line.

I thought that was his end, but unexpectedly, during a rectification operation in the medical system, he was completely brought down by my favorite student and ended up in Qincheng Prison.

Alas, I’m still not used to retirement life.

Now, I have completed my official career path, and now it depends on how Qi Tongwei performs!

With his current momentum of development, maybe one day in the future, I will be known by future generations because of him!

No more talking, time to play chess with Lao Pei!
