"Teacher, I'm here."

Qi Tongwei carried a pot of cactus into the yard with both hands.

Gao Yuliang was sitting on the sofa in the living room reading a newspaper.

The Hantong Daily was spread out.

Hearing the sound, he put down his newspaper, stood up, and came out in his slippers to greet the person.

"Tongwei, you're here now, why did you bring something again?" Gao Yuliang looked at the plant covered in thorns and took it from him.

The flowerpot is quite heavy.

Gao Yuliang held it with both hands and placed it on the iron frame.

Gao Yuliang has a hobby of growing flowers and plants, especially all kinds of plants.

Thus, the term "tall plant" came about.

"Teacher, this is just a small token of my appreciation. They're easy to raise, don't worry about them much, and protect them from radiation." Qi Tongwei followed Gao Yuliang into the house and changed into slippers.

I took off my coat and hung it on the coat rack behind the door.

He was having some doubts.

Professor Gao reads the newspaper every day, so he knows more about what's going on in Handong than anyone else. He pretends to be completely unaffected, truly befitting a great professor.

Be calm and patient.

The two sat down on the sofa, one after the other.

A set of purple clay teaware is placed on the coffee table.

Steam was billowing from the spout of the teapot.

"Tongwei, have some tea. Pour it yourself. I've been brewing it for a while, and it's ready now." Gao Yuliang folded the newspaper and put it aside.

"Okay, teacher." Qi Tongwei picked up the teapot, filled the cup in front of Gao Yuliang first, and then poured himself a cup.

The tea is golden in color.

Qi Tongwei picked up his teacup, blew away the foam, and took a big gulp.

I swallowed it and calmed myself down.

Gao Yuliang didn't touch his teacup and leaned back.

"Tongwei, there's a rumor going around that this audit is targeting me, Gao Yuliang."

That statement is completely unfounded.

very direct.

As for who said it without naming names...

Qi Tongwei's hand, holding the teacup, froze in mid-air.

He put the cup back on the coffee table.

"Teacher, do you believe me?" Qi Tongwei leaned forward.

"I don't believe it." Gao Yuliang shook his head.

Qi Tongwei smiled, took out a lighter, and fiddled with it in his hand.

"That's good. To be honest, this audit was specifically in response to Chen Shan's whistleblower report."

Gao Yuliang's eyelid twitched.

He picked up his teacup and took a sip.

"Chen Shan? Have you found out who wrote this letter?" Gao Yuliang put down his cup and tapped his fingers twice on the sofa armrest.

"The letter is anonymous. It's hard to trace," Qi Tongwei said frankly.

It's not handwritten, it's typed, so it's quite difficult.

Gao Yuliang nodded. "Tongwei, that's a good idea."

Investigate and find out who has the problem, and treat them properly.

That's the kind of courage we need.

The provincial government needs to take stock of its assets; this is an essential procedure.

"The teacher is right. A clear conscience fears no accusation," Qi Tongwei continued, picking up where he left off. "However, the timing of this letter is too coincidental. It's clearly an attempt to muddy the waters."

Gao Yuliang remained silent.

He was weighing his options.

"Tongwei, I've been thinking, what was the traffic police's assessment of Chen Hai's car accident?" Gao Yuliang suddenly changed the subject.

"The electric scooter crashed into the car. The brakes failed," Qi Tongwei answered crisply.

"Strange," Gao Yuliang sighed. "Chen Hai is a steady person, how could he suddenly ride a beat-up electric bike and crash into a monkey's car? Has the traffic police checked the brake? Was it naturally damaged, or was it deliberately sabotaged?"

Qi Tongwei leaned back on the sofa. "The forensic department is still investigating. But, teacher, the time around Chen Hai's incident coincided with the appearance of that whistleblower letter. I have a feeling there might be some kind of connection."

"Could that whistleblower letter have been written by Chen Hai?" Gao Yuliang asked.

Qi Tongwei slapped his thigh, "Very likely!"

Chen Hai is a bit selfish.

It's a bit unethical to report your own older brother anonymously.

I remember Chen Hai told us a story last time.

Gao Yuliang stroked his chin. "If that's really the case, then Chen Hai chose to put righteousness before family. He's a ruthless person."

Gao Yuliang felt a chill run down his spine.

Who knows, one day Chen Hai might stab me in the back.

I'm a little afraid of Chen Hai.

"Teacher, the traffic police are keeping a close eye on things and will not let anyone with ulterior motives take advantage of the situation. Don't worry."

As for Chen Hai's choice, we can only respect it. Qi Tongwei felt that Chen Hai was a rather complicated person.

the other side.

The No. 4 compound of the Provincial Party Committee.

When Tian Guofu pushed open the door and changed his shoes, the heel of his leather shoes broke off.

What bad luck!

He threw the heel against the corner of the wall with a loud thud.

suffocated.

The provincial discipline inspection commission secretary was verbally and sarcastically harassed by Qi Tongwei, the executive vice governor, on the street.

But we still can't find any fault with him.

That broken cactus was clearly meant to prick people.

No, stab Tian Guofu in the heart.

The TV was on, and the volume was very loud.

A variety show is currently airing, and the screen is filled with brightly colored people dancing.

Qin Xueru was wearing a purple loungewear set and sat cross-legged in the middle of the sofa.

He was holding a huge, transparent plastic jar filled with caramel-colored popcorn.

She grabbed a handful, stuffed it into her mouth, and chewed it with a crunching sound.

Tian Guofu loosened his tie, walked to the water dispenser, picked up a paper cup, filled it with cold water, and gulped it down.

The water was flowing too fast and ran down the corner of my mouth onto my shirt collar.

"Hey, who messed with our Secretary Tian? His face is so long, he could be plowing a field." Qin Xueru stared at the TV screen, glancing at Tian Guofu out of the corner of her eye.

Tian Guofu crushed the paper cup and threw it into the trash can.

"Don't even mention it. It makes me so angry. I just ran into that sly Qi Tongwei, who was carrying a potted cactus to Gao Yuliang's house as a gift. I kindly reminded him to pay attention to the Eight-Point Regulation, and guess what he said?" Tian Guofu walked to the sofa and sat down.

"How so?" Qin Xueru stuffed another handful of popcorn into her mouth.

Eat up, it's not a sin, at most you'll gain two ounces of weight.

"He asked me if giving us a cactus was against the rules, and even said he'd get the audit department to audit our family! This kid is too arrogant, he has no respect for me as an old-timer, he's simply lawless!" Tian Guofu slapped the sofa armrest, spitting everywhere.

Qin Xueru turned her head and looked at Tian Guofu. There was a little caramel residue on her lips.

"Xiao Tiantian, Qi Tongwei's rebuttal was spot on."

Tian Guofu was stunned. "Wife, why are you siding with outsiders?"

Qin Xueru rolled her eyes. "Xiao Tiantian, are you just bored?"

"You live by the sea?"

"What seaside?" Tian Guofu didn't understand.

"Mind your own business!" Qin Xueru poked Tian Guofu on the forehead. "You're a secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, instead of working on cases in your office, you're out on the street arresting people who deliver potted plants. Are you just bored? Qi Tongwei went to Gao Yuliang's house; that was just a teacher-student visit. You went there to cause trouble, and you deserved to be scolded."

Qi Tongwei is really handsome; he would definitely be a male god if he appeared on a variety show.

Tian Guofu was furious. Not only did Qi Tongwei bully him, but he also undermined his wife when he got home.

"Wife, you don't understand. Things are about to change in Handong. Gao Yuliang and Qi Tongwei are in cahoots, and now the audit department is coming down to investigate. I'm just making an example of them," Tian Guofu replied confidently.
