Starting from Handong, in the name of Xiao Hao!

"I understand!" Gao Yuliang nodded.

As for Chang Junhao's less-than-polite manner when he spoke, Gao Yuliang wouldn't bother with such a small matter now.

At this moment, he had already frowned and begun to ponder what Chang Junhao had said.

When Chang Junhao spoke to him earlier, Gao Yuliang had taken it to heart, but he only gave his subordinates a brief instruction to clean up their messes.

But now, looking at Chang Junhao's serious expression, he knew that he might really have to take action against some people.

It's time to deal with those who have been caught red-handed, or at least sever ties with them if it's impossible to resolve the issue.

Otherwise, I'll be the next Li Dakang.

Moreover, Chang Junhao, who is standing in front of me, probably won't let me go.

Over the years, although I knew that Chang Junhao had an amazing background, I still didn't know exactly what kind of background he had.

But it's also understandable that if Chang Junhao could get himself promoted to this position, he would definitely have the ability to get him fired.

Qi Tongwei, who had been sitting in his office the whole time, felt extremely uneasy as he listened to this information.

What did he hear? Secretary Chang said he wanted his teacher, Gao, to deal with the problematic people around him...?

Others may not know, but he knows very well that he himself is a problematic person.

But if Teacher Gao is really going to take action, then he...

"Director Qi!" Gao Yuliang's gaze immediately fell on Qi Tongwei.

Just what I feared most has come to pass.

"You're doing a great job as the department head, you're very promising!"

"I apologize, Teacher Gao!" Qi Tongwei said meekly.

"What do you mean, 'Teacher Gao'? How many times have I told you? When you're at work, you have to address people by their titles!" Gao Yuliang angrily rebuked Qi Tongwei.

"Yes, Secretary Gao!" Qi Tongwei continued.

"Also, did you hear what Secretary Chang said earlier?" Gao Yuliang continued.

"I heard you!" Qi Tongwei reported obediently to Gao Yuliang, and also said to Chang Junhao,

"Secretary Chang, please rest assured, there will absolutely be no problems on my end!"

"Ha!" Upon hearing this, Chang Junhao burst into laughter.

"Secretary Chang?"

"What about the Shanshui Group?" Chang Junhao asked directly.

"I..." Qi Tongwei didn't know what to say.

"Have you explained your situation with the Shanshui Group clearly?" Chang Junhao asked.

"Shanshui Group, he's also..." Qi Tongwei wanted to say something.

"What is it? A legitimate business?" Chang Junhao asked directly.

"Who do you think would believe your explanation?"

"If we don't investigate you, then there's really nothing wrong, and nobody else knows anything about it!"

"But if someone really wants to make a move, then he'll be a sitting duck!"

“As long as we keep a close eye on the other people from your Shanshui Group, we can just go in and arrest them. Even if you're standing naked in the street, that's fine!” Chang Junhao said.

"Secretary Chang, I... I'm the director, I can make any of them arrest people..."

"What can you do?" Upon hearing this, Chang Junhao interrupted him directly.

"What? You think you can get inside information? That nothing will go wrong?"

"You don't really think that the police force in the entire country is just one entity, like Handong Province, do you?"

"You don't necessarily think that the entire police force of Handong Province is under your control, do you?"

"Go tell Zhao Dong to listen to you. Are you sure you can do that?" Chang Junhao snapped.

"I've also heard that you've been trying to curry favor with Li Dakang lately?"

"Secretary Chang, it wasn't about the vice governor's matter..." Qi Tongwei explained carefully.

"He's also a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee of Handong Province. With this favor, he'll put in a good word for me at the Standing Committee meeting!"

"Ha!" Upon hearing this, both Chang Junhao and Gao Yuliang laughed.

Expecting Li Dakang to speak well of you? Are you still asleep? Or are you dreaming in broad daylight?

"Secretary Gao, do you think what I said before was wise?" Chang Junhao didn't know what to say next.

"What's the difference between you and that leader who's going through a grieving affair?"

"You expect to smile at a wolf, hoping it won't eat you, or even offer you its food?"

"Secretary Gao, Secretary Chang, I didn't mean to..." Qi Tongwei didn't know what to say.

"Ha, someone like you, acting like this, making you a vice governor!" Gao Yuliang shook his head.

"If you were really made the vice governor, then the people of Handong Province would truly suffer!"

"Ever since he became the director, you've really done something! You've managed to get all your extended family members taken care of!"

"When one attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven; this seems to have come true in your case. Haven't you gone too far in some things?"

"Are you planning to assign all the stray dogs in your village to police dog positions so they can also receive a government salary?"

"Do you want to?"

You've disappointed me so much!

"Secretary Gao, I...you're joking, right?" Qi Tongwei laughed awkwardly.

"Do I look like I'm joking with you?" Gao Yuliang said to Qi Tongwei with a gloomy face.

"Secretary Gao, you know, I..."

“I know you came from a mountain village. It was they who raised funds for you to go to university, which is why you are where you are today!”

“I can understand that you’re helping them in any way you can, but you can’t go this far,” Gao Yuliang said.

"Then, Secretary Gao, I'll be going now!" Chang Junhao said to them immediately, seeing their expressions.

"Secretary Chang, wait a moment!" Seeing that Chang Junhao seemed to be about to leave, Gao Yuliang quickly stopped him.

Gao Yuliang knew that if Chang Junhao really left today, Qi Tongwei might be abandoned by Chang Junhao.

Once Chang Junhao gives up, even if Gao Yuliang wants to help his student, he will be powerless to do so.

Putting aside his own position, even Governor Liu, who promoted him to his current position, wouldn't stand on his side.

At that point, Qi Tongwei will likely only have one path left: death.

He didn't want to just watch his student die like that.

"Secretary Chang, please have a seat!" Gao Yuliang said, stepping forward to personally reassure Chang Junhao.

"Sigh, although I've been criticizing our Director Qi all along!"

"But Secretary Chang, you must know that twenty years ago, Tongwei was a heroic anti-drug squad leader who refused to leave the front line even after being shot!"

"Fifteen years ago, he was a chief prosecutor who upheld justice; eight years ago, he was a diligent and conscientious deputy director!"

"He has come this far step by step; he is a child from a rural background, and his family has had a difficult life!"

"He hadn't even had a full meal for several days before he went to university; his tuition was raised by his relatives!"

"We've gotten this far thanks to tireless, sleepless work!"

"Yes, he did do some wrong things before, sending all the people he had connections to police positions!"

"But isn't this also his way of repaying kindness?"

"These are not major issues. In fact, it could be said that if a person doesn't even think about helping their own family and friends, they are heartless and ungrateful!"

"Then who can expect them to serve the people?"

"There is no absolute fairness in this world. I'm saying all this today because I want to give Tongwei a chance!"

"I don't want that hero from the past to be buried like this!"

"Teacher..." Hearing Gao Yuliang's words, Qi Tongwei was also deeply moved. He had never expected that his teacher would still remember his situation.

Moreover, he could recount these details with great familiarity, and even spoke highly of himself in front of Secretary Chang.
