Title: Reborn in Handong, Starting with an Investment in Gao Yuliang

Gao Yuliang walked back to the table and tapped the newspaper three times heavily with his fingers.

"This is precisely Liang Cheng's brilliance, and also what alarms me the most."

"It's not that he's disrespecting the provincial party committee."

"He's adding an extra layer of protection to this crackdown!"

"Although the Standing Committee passed a resolution to crack down on crime last night..."

"However, the team leader is neither Liang Qunfeng nor Zhao Lichun."

"It was someone appointed by Secretary Lu."

"What does this mean?"

"This means it's just a product of political balancing."

"Secretary Lu doesn't want the Liang and Zhao families to completely break off relations, so he will most likely make a big show of it but then let it fall gently."

"Just arrest a few henchmen, give them an explanation, and that's it."

Qi Tongwei suddenly realized: "So, Liang Cheng is not satisfied with this result?"

"right!"

A hint of admiration flashed in Gao Yuliang's eyes.

"This kid is too ambitious and too ruthless."

"He knew the unspoken rules of officialdom, and he knew that if he didn't add fuel to the fire, the pot of water wouldn't boil!"

"Therefore, he used public opinion to turn this into a public safety incident, a major issue concerning people's livelihood!"

"Once it's published in the newspaper, the people start to criticize it."

"That changes the nature of the situation!"

"This is no longer just a power struggle between two standing committee members, but a matter of the provincial party committee's accountability to the people of the entire province!"

"Given this public opinion environment, would the task force dare not investigate further? Would they dare to simply find a scapegoat and close the case?"

"If we only catch a few small fry, will the people agree to that?"

Gao Yuliang took a deep breath, his tone tinged with emotion, and even a hint of fear.

"This tactic is called using public opinion to command the feudal lords!"

"He's forcing Lu Kangcheng to take drastic measures against the Zhao family!"

"It's even forcing Zhao Lichun to make a drastic decision and pay a heavy price!"

Qi Tongwei felt a chill run down his spine.

As he looked at the impassioned words in the newspaper, he seemed to see Liang Cheng's young yet indifferent face.

He originally thought that Liang Cheng was just putting pressure on Zhao Lichun by doing this.

I never expected this.

Liang Cheng was actually scheming against Lu Kangcheng, the provincial party secretary, and the entire political landscape of Handong!

Moreover, every step was calculated so precisely and so ruthlessly!

Qi Tongwei took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming.

"Zhao Lichun is probably suffering in silence right now, unable to express his bitterness."

Gao Yuliang sat in a large leather chair.

Holding the purple clay teapot in his hand, he took a small sip.

His expression remained as calm and composed as ever, showing no sign of emotion.

It was as if the turbulent waves outside had nothing to do with this quiet office.

"Tongwei."

"Liang Cheng's move was indeed brilliant; he used the opponent's strength against them and used public opinion to pressure the judiciary."

"He has the makings of a politician."

Hearing the teacher's praise, Qi Tongwei became even more eager.

He stepped forward and said in a low voice:

"Teacher, since you also think highly of the Liang family..."

"Shouldn't we...move around a bit?"

"You previously said you wanted to observe the contest between Zhao Lichun and Liang Qunfeng."

"The result is obvious now!"

"Liang Qunfeng gained the upper hand at the Standing Committee meeting, and Liang Cheng made such a big fuss outside."

"The Liang family's rise is unstoppable!"

Qi Tongwei's eyes revealed a sense of anxiety.

"If we don't align ourselves with the past now, and don't state our position."

"Once the Liang family has complete control, going there will be like adding icing on the cake—it won't be worth anything!"

Although Qi Tongwei had sided with Liang Cheng, Gao Yuliang had not made any statement.

This made him somewhat uneasy.

I'm afraid Gao Yuliang might do something else.

Qi Tongwei desperately wanted to seize this opportunity to change his fate.

In his view.

Now is the perfect time for Gao Yuliang to enter the game.

however.

Gao Yuliang gently shook his head.

A meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Tongwei, you're still too young."

"You only see the surface of the problem."

Gao Yuliang stood up, put his hands behind his back, walked to the window, and looked at the campus scenery outside.

"Do you think the Liang family won?"

Do you think Zhao Lichun lost?

Qi Tongwei was taken aback: "Isn't that right? Public opinion has reached this point..."

"Public opinion is public opinion, and power is power."

Gao Yuliang turned around, his gaze deep and unfathomable.

"This incident seems to have caused quite a stir."

"But in reality, it did not fundamentally harm Zhao Lichun."

"Zhao Lichun is still a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee and the Secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee."

"He has been operating in Handong for so many years, he has deep roots in the business."

"Can a few newspaper articles really bring him down?"

Gao Yuliang walked back to the table and tapped his fingers lightly on the surface.

"In my opinion, the struggle between Liang Qunfeng and Zhao Lichun has not yet officially begun."

"These are just appetizers before the storm."

"At best, it was just a test between the two sides."

"A true contest is a bloody battle, a fight to the death!"

"That will be the crucial moment that determines victory or defeat."

Qi Tongwei was stunned.

He didn't expect it.

In the eyes of the teacher.

Such a grand spectacle, and it's just an "appetizer"?

"Then... what should we do?"

Qi Tongwei looked somewhat bewildered. "Are we just going to watch like this? What if we miss the opportunity...?"

"You won't miss it."

Gao Yuliang smiled confidently, exuding an aura of shrewdness and cunning.

"Tongwei, you must remember this."

"Political speculation is all about finding a rare commodity to profit from."

"The Liang family is now incredibly powerful; they're like oil being poured on a raging fire."

"If I approach him at this point, Liang Qunfeng might accept me, but he might not really value me."

"Because he doesn't lack people."

Gao Yuliang's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a glint of shrewdness.

"I'm waiting for the right opportunity."

"When the Liang family and Zhao Lichun completely break off relations and fight to the bitter end, even to the point where the Liang family is in a stalemate."

"At that time, I brought the resources of the political and legal system with me as a bargaining chip to enter the game."

"That's like sending charcoal in snowy weather!"

"Only in that way can Liang Qunfeng be moved to tears, and only then can my value be highlighted to the greatest extent!"

"Only then can we get the biggest slice of the pie in the future power structure!"

boom!

These words struck like a thunderbolt.

It exploded in Qi Tongwei's mind.

He looked at the gentle and refined teacher in front of him.

A deep sense of admiration welled up in my heart.

This is what ranking is all about!

This is the difference!

He was still thinking about how to curry favor with powerful figures.

The teacher is already thinking about how to get the big legs to beg her to hug them!

"Teacher, I understand!"

Qi Tongwei nodded heavily, all the anxiety in his eyes vanishing.

"You have a far-sighted view!"

Seeing that Qi Tongwei had understood his intentions.

Gao Yuliang nodded in satisfaction.
