Names: Uncle Zhao Mengsheng, Father-in-law Pei Yihong

In his previous life, Gao Yuliang had taught him everything he knew and valued him highly.

Gao Yuliang provided him with a lot of help, both with his graduation thesis and job placement.

Later, he rose step by step to the position of Director of the Public Security Bureau. Even when he had a dirty past, Gao Yuliang recommended him to be the Vice Governor. He always remembered this kindness.

Although Gao Yuliang in his previous life also failed to maintain his integrity in his later years.

But Qi Tongwei knew that Gao Yuliang's high regard for him was genuine.

In this life, he not only has to walk the right path himself, but also try his best to remind Gao Yuliang to stay away from those temptations, uphold his bottom line, and not repeat the mistakes of his previous life.

As he walked, Qi Tongwei stopped in his tracks.

Under a tree not far away stood a girl in a white dress, with long hair flowing over her shoulders and a slender figure, looking in his direction.

It was Chen Yang.

The regrets and guilt from my past life surged into my heart at this moment.

"Hello, Yangyang."

When Chen Yang saw Qi Tongwei, his smile became even brighter. "Tongwei, I need to talk to you."

Qi Tongwei looked at Chen Yang, "Oh, Yangyang, what's up?"

Chen Yang's smile faded slightly. "Tongwei, graduation and job assignments are coming up soon. My dad said I should go to work in Kyoto after graduation."

What are your plans?

Qi Tongwei's heart sank, and memories of his past life resurfaced.

In his previous life, Chen Yang was assigned to a remote town because he went to Kyoto.

The two had been in a long-distance relationship for a long time, and their feelings for each other gradually faded.

Qi Tongwei even naively believed that everything would change if he went to work in Kyoto.

Therefore, he applied to be transferred to the anti-drug team, and Qi Tongwei led the team to carry out anti-drug operations at Guyingling.

Despite being shot three times and earning a first-class merit, he still did not receive a promotion or a job transfer.

In addition, the Chen family objected.

She eventually broke up with Chen Yang.

What could Qi Tongwei say? He couldn't fight city hall.

Even though he has the advantage of being a reborn person, there are still some things he is powerless to change at present.

Furthermore, love is a matter between two people.

Family members and work-related factors are all external factors.

The root cause is that I and Chen Yang are not compatible.

Qi Tongwei felt there was no need to persist or fight for a relationship that had no future.

Half-jokingly, half-seriously, he said, "Yangyang, I also want to go to Kyoto, but we're assigned jobs, so it's not up to me to decide."

Chen Yang gently tugged at Qi Tongwei's hand. "Tongwei, if we don't work in the same place, our feelings will definitely fade over time, and we might not be able to stay together."

"Or, I could talk to my dad and ask him to put in a good word for you, maybe we can get you assigned to Kyoto too?"

They were just college students who hadn't graduated, hadn't experienced the harsh realities of society, and thought that going directly to work in Kyoto after graduation would be a very simple thing.

Chen Yang was being too naive.

Qi Tongwei felt a surge of emotion as he looked into Chen Yang's sincere eyes.

Perhaps the two of them are truly in love at this moment.

However, he also knew Chen Yanshi's character and that Chen Yanshi would definitely not help him.

Qi Tongwei patted Chen Yang's hand and shook his head: "Yangyang, I don't think it's necessary."

Chen Yang was stunned, a puzzled look on his face: "Tongwei, don't you want to go to Kyoto with me?"

"I think," Qi Tongwei looked at Chen Yang, "but I want to rely on my own abilities, not on other people's connections."

"But..." Chen Yang wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Qi Tongwei.

"Yangyang, why don't you talk to Uncle Chen and see what he says? If he's willing to help, I'll be extremely grateful. If he's not, I won't force him." Qi Tongwei already knew there would be no result.

"Okay, Tongwei, I'm going home now! I'll tell my mom first, and when I mention it to my dad at dinner tonight, he'll definitely help you!" Chen Yang jogged away.

My heart is filled with anticipation: "Tongwei and I are both graduate students, and we'll both be working in Kyoto. We can be together forever!"

Qi Tongwei shook his head and entered the office building housing the Department of Political Science and Law.

The office of the head of the Department of Political Science and Law was on the third floor. Qi Tongwei walked quickly up the stairs and arrived at the office door.

I knocked on the door a few times.

Boom boom boom!

A calm and gentle voice came from inside the office: "Come in."

Qi Tongwei pushed open the office door and went inside.

The office was small but clean and tidy. A desk was placed by the window, with a pile of newspapers and documents on it.

Gao Yuliang was sitting in his office chair, wearing glasses.

Qi Tongwei was a little excited to see his old teacher.

Gao Yuliang put down his newspaper, took off his glasses, and looked up. "Tongwei, sit down quickly."

Qi Tongwei pulled up a chair and sat down opposite Gao Yuliang. "Teacher."

Gao Yuliang took out a cigarette. "Tongwei, I was just looking for you. I've read your final draft of your graduation thesis. It's very well written, with clear logic and distinct viewpoints. I've decided to recommend your thesis as an outstanding graduation thesis."

Qi Tongwei felt a warmth in his heart. In his previous life, Gao Yuliang had also recommended his graduation thesis as an outstanding one.

They not only gave me a certificate of honor, but also 200 yuan.

He always kept this high regard in his heart.

He stood up and bowed slightly to Gao Yuliang: "Thank you, teacher. I am very grateful for your guidance."

"Tongwei, don't be so polite. I'm your mentor." Gao Yuliang waved his hand, gesturing for Qi Tongwei to sit down. "This is all thanks to your own hard work. You are the most talented and hardworking student I've ever taught."

Qi Tongwei sat down. "Thank you for your guidance and help, teacher."

Gao Yuliang picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and looked at Qi Tongwei. "Tongwei, you're graduating soon. What are your plans for the future?"

Qi Tongwei had already made up his mind. "Teacher, I want to work in the political and legal field. I want to enter the system and do something for the political and legal work in Handong Province."

If you were to live another life, there are indeed many things you could do, such as going into business, politics, or the military.

Perhaps entering the system is what I am most familiar with.

Gao Yuliang nodded. "Not bad, you have ambition."

Handong University now has a doctoral program, and I hope you can pursue your doctorate under my guidance, or stay at the university as a teacher. Making significant academic achievements there would also be a very good option.

The teacher is still the same teacher, worthy of being a university professor. He designed for Qi Tongwei to follow the same path as Gao Yuliang.

Qi Tongwei had actually considered that if he continued to pursue his doctorate at Handong University, or stayed on as a teacher, wouldn't that just let Liang Lu continue to pester him?

That's absolutely not acceptable; I have to leave Handong University.

Regardless of whether Gao Yuliang's suggestion is realistic, we must be grateful.

"Thank you for your kind offer, teacher. However, I feel that being a university teacher is not the best option for me. I would prefer to go deeper into grassroots communities and engage in practical work related to politics and law, using my knowledge to solve real-world problems."

Gao Yuliang didn't try to persuade him further, but nodded. "Okay, Tongwei, everyone has their own ambitions, and I respect your choice. If you encounter any difficulties or problems in your job assignment or future work, please tell me in time, and I will definitely help you if I can."

Gao Yuliang was well aware that Qi Tongwei's village, Qijia Village, was a relatively poor rural area in Handong Province, and Qi Tongwei's parents were genuine farmers.

The Qi family has no money and no connections.

When Qi Tongwei was an undergraduate, Gao Yuliang helped him a lot.

Gao Yuliang truly wanted to help Qi Tongwei as much as he could.

Qi Tongwei felt a warmth in his heart and bowed to Gao Yuliang again: "Thank you, teacher. I will remember your kindness."

"Why are you being so polite with your teacher?" Gao Yuliang smiled and waved his hand. "You are a student I value, and of course, your teacher hopes you will have a bright future."

The two chatted for a while longer, mostly about job assignments after graduation.

Gao Yuliang gave Qi Tongwei a lot of advice, which Qi Tongwei listened to attentively. Occasionally, Qi Tongwei would ask his own questions, which Gao Yuliang would patiently answer.

After the conversation, Qi Tongwei stood up and said respectfully, "Teacher, I'll head back now. You go ahead with your work."

"Okay, feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything." Gao Yuliang nodded, a gentle smile on his face.

Qi Tongwei nodded, turned and left the office, gently closing the door behind him.

As Qi Tongwei stepped out of the teaching building, he felt a sense of relief.

Gao Yuliang's attitude toward himself was the same as in his memories of his previous life.

Just then, a familiar yet loathsome voice came from behind him: "Qi Tongwei, wait a moment."

Qi Tongwei's body stiffened, and he slowly turned around.

Liang Lu stood not far away, her long hair tied in a ponytail, staring straight at him.

Liang Lu is a graduate student counselor in the Department of Political Science and Law at Handong University, and also Liang Qunfeng's daughter.

In his past life, it was this woman who, unable to have him, used Liang Qunfeng's power to suppress him at every turn, forcing him to have no other choice but to bow down to her and kneel down to propose marriage.

Qi Tongwei married Liang Lu, and his official career progressed smoothly.

Liang Lu is infertile, and the two have no children.

The ill-fated relationship that began at Handong University may have been the start of a tragedy.

Qi Tongwei's eyes turned cold, and his tone was flat: "Teacher Liang, is there something you need?"

Liang Lu strode forward and stood in front of Qi Tongwei, her chin slightly raised. "Qi Tongwei, come to my office. I have something to tell you."

His tone carried a hint of command.

Liang Lu, the eldest daughter of the Liang family and Liang Qunfeng's only daughter, was also pampered as she grew up.

Qi Tongwei frowned. The last person he wanted to see was Liang Lu.

"Teacher Liang, I'm sorry, I have other things to do and I don't have time right now."

Liang Lu's face darkened, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes, and her tone became sharp, "Qi Tongwei, I gave you a chance, don't regret it."

Qi Tongwei looked at Liang Lu and said calmly, "Teacher Liang, I am a man of integrity. Whatever I say or do, I have a clear conscience and I will never regret it."

Liang Lu found Qi Tongwei really funny; the more naive he was, the more she liked him.

He gave a strange smile. "Qi Tongwei, don't get any ideas. I'm the teacher, and you're the student. There's no way things could ever happen between us."

I was just saying it casually, just joking.

What I want to talk to you about now is the job placement situation after you graduate with your master's degrees.
