Starting from Handong, in the name of Xiao Hao!

"Secretary Chang, I..." Upon hearing Chang Junhao's assessment, Qi Tongwei's heart immediately sank.

Well, what is he, the director of the department, in Secretary Chang's eyes?

Am I really that bad? Does Secretary Chang look down on me that much?

"Alright, you don't need to say anything more!" Chang Junhao waved his hand.

"I know about your past experiences. Being able to get to where you are now is a combination of your ability, luck, and good fortune!"

"If things had progressed in a step-by-step manner, you would have been quite good, which is why I gave you a chance before!"

"But you've strayed from who you were before, and I can't stand you anymore!"

"The position of a department head is very important!"

"But given your current situation, I think it wouldn't take much effort to remove you and replace you with one of our own!"

"On the contrary, if we let you stay in this position, we'll have to waste so much energy cleaning up your messes!"

"I don't need to go to that much trouble!"

"Secretary Chang..." Qi Tongwei wanted to explain further.

"Hmm?" Chang Junhao looked at Qi Tongwei in front of him and thought to himself, "I've made myself so clear, does Qi Tongwei still have any ideas about what to do with me?"

"Secretary Chang, I implore you to give me one last chance. Whether or not I can become the vice governor, I will have no regrets!"

"From now on, Qi Tongwei will be under Secretary Chang's command. No matter how he is treated, he will not have any complaints or any disloyalty!"

"Since Secretary Chang knows about my past, he must also know what kind of person Qi Tongwei is!"

"From now on, I, Qi Tongwei, will carry out any order given by Secretary Chang without fail!"

As he spoke, Qi Tongwei bowed deeply to Chang Junhao.

Chang Junhao gave Qi Tongwei a deep look and let him bow to him for ten minutes.

Watching his body struggle and sweat dripping from his forehead, I could see that he was constantly writhing.

"Are you tired?" Chang Junhao asked Qi Tongwei casually.

"You're starting to feel pain too, aren't you?"

"I hope you remember today, remember how you felt, and also, I hope you can think about it from time to time, what it was like when you were in that situation?"

"Okay, let's go back!"

“This is the last chance. I believe you understand what to do!” Chang Junhao said.

"Yes!" Qi Tongwei said, even though he was covered in sweat, he still breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wait!" Chang Junhao shouted suddenly as he was about to leave.

"Secretary Chang!" Qi Tongwei turned around again, bowing his head as he greeted Chang Junhao.

"Do you have any collusion with Li Dakang's wife, Ouyang Jing?"

"Does Ouyang Jing have any leverage over you?" Chang Junhao asked directly.

"This..." Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei immediately frowned.

"He doesn't have any direct leverage over me, but he does have leverage over Ding Yizhen and the Shanshui Group!"

"The direct evidence is all in Ding Yizhen's hands!"

"Okay, that's good. We should sever ties with the Shanshui Group as soon as possible. I'm open to selling my shares or giving them away!"

"Resolve this matter as soon as possible!" Chang Junhao instructed.

"Yes, Secretary Chang!" Qi Tongwei had learned his lesson and readily agreed.

“Yes, I’ve found Cai Chenggong!” Chang Junhao said directly.

"What?" Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei was immediately shocked. The police in their area and Jingzhou City had been searching for him without success. He never expected that the person was in Chang Junhao's hands.

But then he immediately remembered where he was and in front of someone, and quickly bowed his head to apologize.

"It's alright!" Chang Junhao waved his hand.

"He was going to report Ouyang Jing, but he bribed her!"

"You know what I mean by asking this, right?"

“I understand, Secretary Chang!” Qi Tongwei quickly replied.

"That's good. There's one more thing. What's going on with Chen Hai?" Chang Junhao asked again.

“Secretary Chang, I didn’t do what Chen Hai did!” Qi Tongwei said directly.

"Is that so?" Chang Junhao asked casually.

"Yes, Secretary Chang, but it can't be said that it has nothing to do with me at all!" Qi Tongwei explained.

"I leaked the information to Zhao Ruilong, and he did it himself!"

"Yes!" Chang Junhao nodded.

"That's the end of this! Don't get involved anymore, just focus on your own job!"

"Furthermore, everything related to the Shanshui Group must be completely severed, leaving no room for any incriminating evidence!"

"Next, the Shanshui Group will become a meat grinder, and I don't know how many people will be caught in the crossfire!"

"Yes!"

"Also, your relatives know you want to repay them, and there's nothing wrong with that!"

"But you've put everyone into this system, are you saying you don't have enough leverage over yourself already?" Chang Junhao said.

Do you know why your teacher didn't get promoted this time?

"It's because the higher-ups are already somewhat dissatisfied with Handong Province. The Han University clique, the secretary clique, ha, what impressive titles!"

"But you must remember one thing, which is that in our country, if the higher-ups are determined to deal with something!"

"No matter your identity or status, nothing can escape the overwhelming tide!"

"Now that we've noticed the problems with the Han University clique and the secretary clique, we won't let them continue!"

"And the arrival of the new provincial party secretary, I reckon, is also for this reason!"

"Now is the time for us to cut our losses and survive. If we continue like this, even if we defeat Sha Ruijin, there will be Li Ruijin and Zhao Ruijin next!" Secretary Chang reprimanded again.

"Get rid of all your unqualified relatives!"

"Letting them resign voluntarily is no longer appropriate!"

"Even if they go abroad, with your position as the department head, is it difficult to arrange an easy job for them?"

"Everything they have now is tied to you. If you go down, or even if they go down because of you, you should understand what will happen to them!"

"I know, Secretary Chang!"

"Alright, let's go back. We'll talk about this again when you've resolved these matters!" Chang Junhao said.

"Yes, Secretary Chang, I'll be going now. Take care, Secretary Chang!" With that, Qi Tongwei left after Chang Junhao nodded.

After Qi Tongwei returned, he did not immediately go to see his teacher, Gao Yuliang.

I only mentioned Chang Junhao's attitude to Gao Yuliang over the phone.

After hearing this, Gao Yuliang didn't say much, but simply told Qi Tongwei to do his job well.

Qi Tongwei was in a state of great turmoil, so he went straight home.

"Tongwei? Why are you back now?" Liang Lu asked Qi Tongwei with some curiosity.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little confused. I'll rest for a bit!" With that, Qi Tongwei went straight back to his room.

Seeing this, Liang Lu poured Qi Tongwei a glass of water, went into the house, and handed the water to Qi Tongwei.

"What happened?"

"I..." Qi Tongwei opened his mouth, but still couldn't say anything.

"Huh? Can't I say?" Liang Lu asked directly.

"It's work-related!" Qi Tongwei explained.

"Oh!" Liang Lu finally nodded.

"If you're having trouble, you can go...go to Teacher Gao!"

"You were going to talk about your dad, weren't you?" Qi Tongwei looked up at Liang Lu and asked.

"Tongwei, that's not what I meant!" Liang Lu protested.

"Never mind, it's not a good time to talk to Teacher Gao right now. Why don't you call your dad?" Qi Tongwei said.

During this period, Qi Tongwei did not contact his father-in-law at all, relying entirely on his teacher.

Because of what happened before, Qi Tongwei didn't have much affection for his father-in-law.

But now, after much thought, Qi Tongwei can't even find a single person he can consult.

Although Teacher Gao could be considered one, it's not suitable now, and besides, with Teacher Gao's side...
