Starting from Handong, in the name of Xiao Hao!

"So that's how it is!" Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei relaxed.

"So, you're all right now?" Chang Junhao said, his expression becoming slightly serious.

Even though he had met several provincial party secretaries and other high-ranking officials, he still couldn't help but tremble when he saw Chang Junhao now.

One reason is that Chang Junhao's dignity seems different from the others, unique, but much more solemn.

The other one is Chang Junhao, who truly holds Qi Tongwei's future in his hands and doesn't allow Qi Tongwei to be careless in the slightest.

“Secretary Chang, yes!” Qi Tongwei nodded.

"Very good!" Chang Junhao nodded.

"Since you've said so, I'm relieved. A storm is about to break out in our Handong Province!"

"You are the director and a professional; I believe you know more about these things than I should!"

"However, we can't be careless. Even if you're innocent, you should still be careful not to be framed!"

"Although there are a few of us here, we don't have complete evidence, so we won't let anyone wrong you!"

"But it's also a problem!" Chang Junhao said calmly.

"Yes, Secretary Chang, don't worry, I will be careful!" Qi Tongwei quickly replied.

"Okay, that's good then. I won't worry about you here!" Chang Junhao said.

"Hopefully, no one will find any clues!"

"Secretary Junhao!" Gao Yuliang spoke up after hearing Chang Junhao's words.

"You said there would be a storm? And in our Handong Province?"

"Not bad!" Chang Junhao nodded.

"This is also something I wanted to discuss with you, Secretary Gao!"

"We talked about Tongwei before, now it's your turn, Secretary Gao!"

"My business?" Upon hearing this, Gao Yuliang himself was slightly taken aback.

“That’s right, it’s your problem!” Chang Junhao said, leaning forward slightly, exuding a menacing aura.

"What do I need?" Gao Yuliang was smiling, but his expression gradually became serious.

“You have to tell us your story yourself!” Chang Junhao said.

"Secretary Junhao? Why would you say something like that?" Gao Yuliang was somewhat puzzled.

"This is a very serious matter!" Chang Junhao said.

“Secretary Yuliang, I told you before that you should keep your integrity and I even made a guarantee to you that your progress wouldn’t be affected, right?”

“That’s right, I’ve always remembered our agreement and haven’t dared to cross the line!” Gao Yuliang said directly.

"Oh?" Chang Junhao frowned slightly.

"Now is the most crucial front-end, which needs to be started. Secretary Yuliang, I need you to assure me that there really are no problems!"

Although Gao Yuliang has problems, Chang Junhao himself will not be in any trouble.

But now that things have come to this point, it's almost common knowledge among the higher-ups that Gao Yuliang's advancement was largely due to Chang Junhao pushing him up the ranks.

If Gao Yuliang really runs into trouble in the future, even if it doesn't affect Chang Junhao, he will probably still be labeled as someone who misjudges people by his superiors.

"Secretary Junhao, I can guarantee that I have absolutely no problems!" Gao Yuliang said.

"Of course, some of the things that happened back then were due to the circumstances of that time, and there are still some limitations of that era!"

"Despite our best efforts to avoid it, some sacrifices still had to be made for the sake of development!"

“But I can say one thing: I have no regrets. Between two evils, I chose the lesser one!” Gao Yuliang said.

"Okay, then I believe you!" Chang Junhao nodded.

"Then I can talk to Sha Ruijin without worry this time!"

"Tell Secretary Sha?" Gao Yuliang asked, puzzled.

"Not bad!" Chang Junhao nodded.

"He wants my support for his work, his anti-corruption work. I need to make sure there are no problems on my end before I can agree to him!"

"Otherwise, I'll just deal with you all myself first, and then do this!"

"Now that you have no further questions, I can agree to Sha Ruijin's request!"

"So that's how it is. We've always known of Secretary Chang's noble character!" Qi Tongwei said, patting him on the shoulder.

"Heh!" Chang Junhao chuckled.

"This is exactly what I wanted, to make the skies in Handong Province a little clearer!"

"However, I'm not in such a hurry. Since Sha Ruijin brought it up himself, how could I just agree to it like that!"

"The guarantee you've given me will allow you to become the nominee for governor at the next meeting!"

Upon hearing this news, even Gao Yuliang, who was usually composed, couldn't help but smile.

Qi Tongwei was even happier, partly because of his teacher.

Another thought was, "My teachers have all gone up now, so how far behind can I be?"

And I felt a surge of satisfaction; it was indeed the path I had chosen.

In the past, Qi Tongwei was always running around trying to curry favor with Sha Ruijin and Li Dakang.

It could be said that he was being somewhat inconsistent, which displeased his teacher and Secretary Chang.

He was almost abandoned by Secretary Chang at one point, but fortunately he pulled back from the brink, repented, and that's how he got to where he is today.

And what Secretary Chang said proved that Qi Tongwei's choice was not wrong.

The current Secretary Chang is the most powerful one. Even if Secretary Sha wants to do something, he has to consult with him.

This is strength!

"Yes, that's why your guarantee is so important. Otherwise, if something goes wrong with you, I'll be the one who was blind!"

"What kind of impression do you think you'll make on your superiors?"

“Secretary Yuliang, you know some things about me. I cannot allow such a stain to appear!”

"If you make a mistake in the future without being wrongly accused, and it's a mistake from before, then you might have to accept double the punishment!"

“It’s not just about the law, you understand?” Chang Junhao said calmly.

"Secretary Junhao, rest assured, I understand the seriousness of this matter, and I will not joke about it!" Gao Yuliang assured him.

"Yes, that's great!" Chang Junhao said.

The three then discussed other matters, with Chang Junhao particularly admonishing Qi Tongwei.

"Tongwei!"

"Secretary Chang, please speak!" Qi Tongwei was now even more respectful when facing Chang Junhao.

"Well, you and your wife, your family matters—to be honest, I shouldn't be bringing this up, but I still want to say a few words!" Chang Junhao said.

"Secretary Chang, please speak. I know you mean well. I'm all ears!" Qi Tongwei said quickly.

"Yes, that's good!" Chang Junhao nodded.

“I’ve heard about your situation and I know what happened between you and Liang Lu!”

"But honestly, your relationship before was really bad!"

"You should know that at our level, your marriage and your family are also part of the evaluation of you!"

"Given your past circumstances, including your family background, it was enough to warrant a low score!"

"Fortunately, today looks alright!"

"One of them is your father-in-law, Liang Qunfeng, who has worked with Zhao Lichun for many years!"

"You can retire peacefully and still arrange for your teacher, Professor Gao, to advance his career!"

"You can imagine his character; with his guidance, your path will become wider and wider!"

"As for the Gao sisters' situation, Liang Lu knows about it herself, but she didn't get involved because she felt guilty!"

"And Liang Qunfeng isn't deaf or blind; who knows how many people's connections he still has!"

"And none of the Liang family members are involved in politics. As time goes by, these things are becoming increasingly weak!"

“You haven’t inherited anything, which is rather foolish!” Chang Junhao said.

"I will keep Secretary Chang's words in mind!" Qi Tongwei said.

"Well, you'll have to figure out the specifics yourself; we can't force you to do anything!"

"After all, it's your own experience. You can't advise others to be kind if you haven't experienced their suffering. I won't say anything!"

"I'm just giving you a suggestion; you'll have to figure out the specifics yourself!" Chang Junhao said.

"Consider whether your own ambition is more important, or your future prospects!"
