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

As Qi Tongwei walked out of Gao Yuliang's office, he stood in the corridor and lit a cigarette.

In his past life, he trusted his mentor deeply, but it wasn't until he shot himself that he understood a truth.

Never entrust your fate to someone else, not even your mentor.

He took a deep drag of his cigarette, and the smoke he exhaled spread through the stairwell.

Judging from his behavior during the conversation, he clearly knew that Liang Qunfeng was trying to suppress him.

More likely, this method was the idea that Gao Yuliang suggested to Liang Qunfeng.

Putting all your bets on Gao Yuliang?

He's no longer the naive boy he once was.

He was a seasoned official who had been involved in the political arena of Handong for over twenty years, eventually rising to the rank of department head.

Thinking of this, Qi Tongwei stubbed out his cigarette and turned to go downstairs.

Back in his dormitory, Qi Tongwei sat down at his desk and began writing a letter.

Write a self-recommendation letter that can change your destiny.

He wrote quickly, each word sharp and earnest.

In his previous life, he wrote official government documents for twenty years and deeply understood their essence.

In less than half an hour, a well-reasoned and tactful self-recommendation letter was completed.

He finished writing the last word, nodded slowly, and was very satisfied with the letter.

A knocking sounded suddenly.

The sound wasn't loud, but the rhythm was very strong.

Qi Tongwei was taken aback at first.

Then, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up.

It's her!

In my past life, it was at this time.

Liang Lu pushed open the door.

Then came the astonishing kneeling incident at Handong University of Political Science and Law.

In his past life, he knelt down, losing all his dignity, his backbone, and even his way out.

He had no choice in his past life!

Even if he can't support the border regions in this life and has to stay in Yanshan Town forever, he will never kneel!

Thinking of this, Qi Tongwei stuffed the letter of self-recommendation into the drawer before slowly getting up and opening the door.

The door opened, and Liang Lu stood in the doorway with a serene smile.

She wore a beige trench coat today.

She had her hair freshly permed and was wearing light makeup.

"Teacher Liang, what brings you here? Please come in."

Qi Tongwei stepped back two steps and let Liang Lu into the house.

Liang Lu went into the room without speaking immediately.

He looked around the room.

She frowned slightly and sat down in Qi Tongwei's chair.

"They're graduate students now, and they're still living in a four-person dorm room."

"If you had told me earlier, I would have arranged a private room for you."

Qi Tongwei didn't respond, but went straight to the point, his voice neither warm nor cold.

"Teacher Liang, is there something you need from me?"

Liang Lu didn't answer directly, but casually flipped through the assignment notice on the table.

She suddenly looked at Qi Tongwei, her expression quite exaggerated.

"Oh dear! Tongwei, how did you end up being assigned to Yanshan Town? What a pity!"

Qi Tongwei sneered inwardly, but didn't expose her, instead playing along with her act.

"The organization hasn't spoken to me yet; it's just a preliminary arrangement."

Liang Lu closed the notice, looked at Qi Tongwei, her eyes full of sympathy.

"Preliminary arrangements? The official document has been issued; it's settled!"

"Yanshan Town is a well-known impoverished town in the province. It still doesn't have electricity and people drink well water."

She paused slightly and glanced at Qi Tongwei again.

The sympathy in their eyes turned into pity.

Her chin was held high, and a smile played on her lips, making her look as proud as a white swan.

"To survive within the system, political resources are extremely important!"

"Hey, if I remember correctly, you're from Qijia Village, right? Your parents are farmers?"

Qi Tongwei understood her implication and responded with a smile.

"Yes, they come from Qijia Village. Their ancestors were poor farmers for three generations, so their political record is absolutely clean."

When Liang Lu saw that he had responded, the smile on her face disappeared, and her voice suddenly turned cold.

"Qi Tongwei, then you'd better prepare to stay in Yanshan Town for the rest of your life!"

"Just because I rejected you?"

Qi Tongwei looked at her, his smile somewhat strange.

Liang Lu walked up to him with a cold face.

Looking down from a high place, arrogant and haughty.

"You're right! It's all because you rejected me."

"There's nothing I can't get that I want!"

She stared at Qi Tongwei's face, her voice gradually turning cold.

"Outstanding graduate, student council president, top of the department—so what?"

"In the face of power, you're not even worth a dog, you're nothing but an ant!"

Qi Tongwei looked at her, his smile becoming even more peculiar, as if he were looking at a clown.

Liang Lu felt uncomfortable under his gaze, and her anger intensified.

"Qi Tongwei, I'll give you one more chance! Kneel down and propose to me in public, and I'll have my dad transfer you back to Jingzhou!"

Qi Tongwei suddenly laughed.

He shook his head as he pulled out a cigarette case and lit a cigarette.

"Teacher Liang, have you finished speaking? Now it's my turn."

"First, you are ten years older than me, and I really can't accept a teacher-student relationship with such a large age gap."

Liang Lu blushed and opened her mouth to retort, but was interrupted by Qi Tongwei.

"Don't rush me, I haven't finished speaking yet."

He took a deep drag of his cigarette and continued speaking, his voice flat.

"You're so blatantly revealing how your father interfered with job allocation and suppressed graduates. Aren't you afraid I'll record it?"

"If I play this recording on the school's broadcasting system again... how many people do you think will hear it?"

After Qi Tongwei finished speaking, he looked at Liang Lu with a playful smile.

Liang Lu was stunned, her breathing became rapid, and her face was full of disbelief.

Seeing the change in Liang Lu's expression, he sneered.

"Don't worry, I was just saying. I'm just a poor student, where would I get the money to buy a tape recorder?"

Seeing that Liang Lu's expression relaxed, he added insult to injury, like a cat playing with a mouse.

"Teacher Liang, the age difference is one issue."

"Secondly, I am the only son in my family, and my family still depends on me to continue the family line."

"When I'm looking for a wife, at the very least she should be able to give me a child!"

He deliberately stopped talking and looked at Liang Lu with a smile.

Liang Lu's expression changed constantly, her mood shifting between light and dark.

He began to worry about Liang Lu's emotional intelligence and IQ.

No, Liang Lu has absolutely no intelligence or emotional intelligence!

Otherwise, why would she let her mentor play around for so many years and still think it was true love?

She went abroad, and her belly grew big, resulting in infertility.

After a long silence, Liang Lu finally broke down, her lips trembling.

She originally came to demonstrate, hoping to force Qi Tongwei to bow down to her.

But now it's clear that her trip was purely self-humiliating.

She stood up abruptly, pointed at Qi Tongwei, her fingers trembling.

With a gloomy face, she squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth.

"Qi Tongwei! You're asking for it! Just you wait, I'll make you kneel before me one day!"

After saying that, she grabbed her trench coat, slammed the door, and left.

The dormitory door slammed shut, and the glass on it rattled violently.

Qi Tongwei sat at his desk, not even glancing at her.

What were you thinking in your past life?

How could I kneel before such a piece of trash?

He pulled out a letter of self-recommendation from the drawer.

Carefully place it in an envelope, seal it, and affix a stamp...

His movements were slow and meticulous.

It's like making a work of art.

Complete the last action.

Qi Tongwei walked to the window and opened it.

A night breeze blew in, carrying the coolness of early summer.

He looked out the window at the night scene, a slight smile playing on his lips, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

The Department of Political Science and Law at Han University is like a bottomless maze, full of hidden talents.

He realized this too late in his past life.

I just felt that my classmates who held important positions got ahead because of their own abilities.

He only saw things clearly after he took the position of director.

These classmates all come from distinguished families and have abundant political resources.

Hou Liangping, Chen Hai, Lu Yike... without exception.

Among this group of people, the one with the deepest background is Zhong Xiaoai.

I remember that little follower who always followed me around.

Qi Tongwei couldn't help but laugh.

This nobody from his past life has transformed into a real dragon after graduation.

Hou Liangping, you climbed to your position by stepping on my dead body, so don't blame me for not showing any regard for our classmate relationship.

Thinking of this, he slowly stood up and walked out of the graduate student dormitory...
