Qi Tongwei at the start: Not relying on Liang Lu, but winning by a single move against Heaven.

Staring at the official document in Qi Tongwei's hand, Gao Yuliang's breathing became rapid.

He snatched the document and skimmed through it.

He read the document three times before returning it to Qi Tongwei.

Looking at his beloved student in front of him, Gao Yuliang grinned, his smile somewhat awkward.

He knew he had just lost his composure.

Qi Tongwei, a recent graduate, was reporting to the Provincial Party Committee's Organization Department, and it was no wonder he lost his composure.

He looked at Qi Tongwei and spoke with a smile.

"Tongwei... every cloud has a silver lining!"

His voice was somewhat complex, a mixture of emotion and jealousy.

"Such an important document couldn't be mistaken. You made the right move!"

Gao Yuliang's feelings were complicated at this moment. He realized that he seemed to have made the wrong bet.

According to the current policy, those who serve in border areas for three years will be promoted one level.

In other words, three years later, Qi Tongwei will be a 27-year-old section chief.

A 27-year-old section chief—what does that mean? A future full of potential!

Qi Tongwei remained silent for a long time, then looked up at Gao Yuliang and slowly spoke.

"Teacher, I'm a law school graduate, and I'm supposed to report to the Organization Department? My major doesn't match my job!"

Gao Yuliang waved his hand and spoke with a smile.

"Since you're already gone, make the best of it! There are two possibilities for you being sent to the Organization Department."

He refilled Qi Tongwei's teacup and slowly began to speak.

"First, the organization needs to speak with you before making any arrangements. Second, the organization has other considerations and may have other uses for you."

His analysis was very detailed.

He didn't want to make the same mistake twice, having already bet on the wrong item once.

Qi Tongwei didn't say anything, and drank the tea in his cup in one gulp.

He was thinking.

Reflect on Gao Yuliang's words and the deeper meaning behind the words of the Organization Department of the Bianxi Provincial Party Committee.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Gao Yuliang refilled his tea.

"Don't think about it anymore. No matter what, this is a good thing."

"When do you plan to set off?"

Qi Tongwei calculated the distance.

It takes two days and two nights to travel from Handong to Bianxi by train.

He grinned.

"Three days from now, I'll get ready..."

After Qi Tongwei left, Gao Yuliang sat in his chair and pondered for a long time.

A 27-year-old section chief.

With Qi Tongwei's abilities, he could have reached the division-level position before the age of thirty-five.

He's already forty-three, and he's only at the level of a full-fledged department head.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. He had spent half his life scheming, only to make the mistake of being blind to his own shortcomings.

Such a promising talent, yet he wants to climb over him to the top; he's truly blinded by greed.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and grabbed the phone on the table.

"The office, huh? Arrange a farewell party for Qi Tongwei, tonight!"

……

Qi Tongwei had just returned to his dormitory when Zhong Xiaoai arrived.

Ever since they started dating, the two of them have been inseparable.

He wasn't surprised that Zhong Xiaoai had returned.

To his surprise, Zhong Xiaoai brought news.

Gao Yuliang actually wanted to hold a farewell party for him.

Upon hearing this news, Qi Tongwei couldn't help but secretly grumble to himself.

If they want to hitch a ride with Liang Qunfeng, they'll offer advice on how to suppress me.

Now that they see I've turned my life around and have a promising future, they're trying to win me over.

My mentor truly understood the intricacies of officialdom.

He skillfully navigated the situation, maximizing his own advantage while minimizing his disadvantages, leaving no room for error.

Qi Tongwei and Zhong Xiaoai spent another afternoon being all lovey-dovey.

It wasn't until 7 p.m. that the two of them went to the farewell party together.

It was called a farewell party, but it was really just a small class gathering.

There were only about fifty people, all of whom were students in the class.

The classmates all knew about Qi Tongwei's ordeal, and their reactions varied.

Some sympathized, some watched the spectacle, and some gloated; the crowd was abuzz with discussion.

The gathering organized by Gao Yuliang was naturally hosted by him.

Seeing that most of the people had arrived, Gao Yuliang spoke with a smile.

"Classmates, today's gathering was organized a bit hastily, please don't mind."

"There's only one purpose in bringing everyone together today."

He paused slightly and patted Qi Tongwei on the shoulder.

"Our classmate Qi Tongwei is going to support the border regions, so we'll see each other less and less from now on. Let's see him off."

"I won't say much more; let Qi Tongwei say a few words to everyone."

His voice wasn't loud, and he spoke slowly, giving him the air of a patriarch.

Qi Tongwei stood up with a smile, neither arrogant nor impatient, his expression calm.

He looked at his classmates and spoke slowly, his voice calm.

"I'm just a pioneer. The country called for support for the west, and I was simply following the trend..."

Qi Tongwei spoke eloquently and sincerely, showing no sign of being down on his luck.

Inside the hall, all the classmates' eyes were on him, but their thoughts were all different.

Zhong Xiaoai sat beside him, her gaze gentle, her eyes filled with Qi Tongwei.

Seeing how outstanding her lover was, she looked happy and couldn't help feeling a little proud.

He even subconsciously compared Qi Tongwei to his father.

After careful consideration, she felt that her father was more capable, but his son Qi Tongwei was no less so.

Compared to Zhong Xiaoai's arrogance, Chen Yang felt bitterness and resentment.

She stared at Qi Tongwei's face, her brows furrowed slightly, and her lips pressed tightly together.

He had worked hard for three years, only to have Zhong Xiaoai reap the rewards.

She couldn't understand where she fell short compared to Zhong Xiaoai.

Ever since Chen Hai and Hou Liangping formed an alliance, the two have often been exchanging sarcastic remarks about Qi Tongwei.

Today was no exception; the two of them sat at the second table, staring at Qi Tongwei with disdain.

"Tch, don't be fooled by his current success. He'll have his share of hardships once he gets to the west..."

Hou Liangping's voice wasn't loud, but his tone was extremely sarcastic.

He couldn't understand why Gao Yuliang would hold a farewell party for someone who had been exiled to the frontier.

Chen Hai sneered, leaned close to his ear, and whispered.

"Go easy on him. This guy's going to southern Xinjiang; it's very likely this will be the last time we see each other."

Chen Hai appeared to be speaking up for Qi Tongwei, but his voice betrayed an undisguised schadenfreude.

They exchanged a glance, then grinned simultaneously, their smiles laced with sarcasm.

In their hearts, Qi Tongwei was finished.

Although they escaped from Yanshan Town, they were exiled to the even more arduous border region of Bianxi.

After Qi Tongwei finished speaking, he clasped his hands in a fist salute to the crowd and said loudly.

"To borrow a line from Chairman Mao's poem: 'To see who the truly great figures are, look to the present.'"

"Wishing all students a bright future and boundless success!"

Qi Tongwei sat down, and Gao Yuliang, holding onto the table, slowly stood up.

"Classmates, let's give another round of applause to Qi Tongwei."

"Bearing no hardship and taking the initiative to support border areas, he set an example for all of us."

Applause erupted instantly, filling the hall with thunderous applause.

Zhong Xiaoai clapped her hands vigorously, her palms turning red, her eyes filled with pride.

As the applause subsided, Gao Yuliang smiled and dropped a bombshell.

"I have some good news to share with you all."

"Qi Tongwei has been officially accepted by the Organization Department of the Bianxi Provincial Committee."

Before he finished speaking, a murmur of discussion arose in the hall.

Are recent graduates being accepted by the Organization Department of the Bianxi Provincial Party Committee?

Qi Tongwei wasn't just being exiled; he was practically hitched a ride on a bridge to heaven!

What does this mean?

Gao Yuliang looked around at everyone, coughed lightly, and spoke again.

"This shows that the West values ​​talent, and that the vast West holds great potential!"

After he finished speaking, everyone was in an uproar.

A wave of even more enthusiastic applause erupted.

Zhong Xiaoai's face was flushed with joy, and she almost jumped for joy.

Chen Yang's face was ashen.

She stared intently at Zhong Xiaoai, her resentment turning into intense hatred.

She hated Zhong Xiaoai; if it weren't for her, she would definitely be the one standing next to Qi Tongwei.

Hou Liangping and Chen Hai were dumbfounded, their mouths agape, their faces filled with astonishment.

The Organization Department of the Bianxi Provincial Committee was a full level higher than the Jingzhou Municipal Political and Legal Committee, where they were assigned.

They had just mocked Qi Tongwei for being exiled to the frontier and having his future ruined.

But in the blink of an eye, he went straight into a provincial or ministerial-level position.

That's a core department that countless people would fight tooth and nail to get into.

Hou Liangping swallowed hard and muttered something bitterly.

"Did we hear that right...? It's the Organization Department of the Bianxi Provincial Committee?"

The entire venue erupted in cheers, and everyone raised their glasses to Qi Tongwei.

Congratulations to him for becoming the first person from the entire department to enter the department.

In the midst of the lively atmosphere, no one noticed that someone was hiding behind the stage curtain.

It was none other than Liang Lu, the instigator of the suppression of Qi Tongwei.

Liang Lu's face was deathly pale, her brows were furrowed, and she was biting her lower lip tightly.

She secretly glanced at Qi Tongwei, who was radiating brilliance, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

She began to reflect on what she had done wrong. If she hadn't suppressed him, and had been gentler and more proactive, she would have been better.

Will Qi Tongwei accept him?

But now she knows it's all too late.

She herself pushed away a promising young man and ruined her own marriage.
