In name only: I will break the chess game in Handong!

"Principal Meng, are you trying to interfere with our Provincial Public Security Bureau's lawful handling of cases and arrest of criminals?"

Qi Tongwei had no intention of getting into a complicated argument with the principal, and directly shut down any other excuses Meng Changqing had prepared with a single sentence.

It sounds very domineering, but Qi Tongwei has been domineering for a long time. Although the president of Han University in front of him is of a higher rank than Qi Tongwei, he does not have real power!

Just then, Cheng Du returned.

Under the restraint of several police officers, a dark-skinned international student wearing only a short-sleeved shirt and shorts was tightly locked up. He had several bruises on his face and his hair was messy, clearly indicating that he was resisting arrest.

"***! I'm Kenyan people!"

He kept shouting.

Upon seeing this scene, Meng Changqing's anger, which had already subsided, surged up again.

"Qi Tongwei! You are also a graduate of Han University, and your wife, Professor Liang Lu, also teaches at Han University!"

Do you realize that your actions could have a huge impact on the country's diplomacy?

"Meng Changqing!"

I only dare to do this because I know I graduated from Hanzhong University of Science and Technology and I know what Hanzhong University of Science and Technology used to be like!

"Let me tell you, if you dare obstruct our police investigation again, I'll take you away with me!"

Upon hearing Liang Lu mention him, Qi Tongwei's emotions instantly became unstable, and his icy gaze fixed on Meng Changqing.

For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat tense.

Until the phone in Qi Tongwei's hand rang.

"Hey, Secretary Chen!"

Upon seeing that it was Chen Luo calling, Qi Tongwei's initial anger was temporarily suppressed.

"Yes, Director Qi, I have just reported this to the Ministry of Education. The Ministry of Education's opinion is that since the person violated discipline and laws in Handong, and is not at the deputy provincial level, Handong will conduct the investigation and handle the matter in accordance with laws and regulations."

I have already notified Comrade Lü Liang of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Procuratorate. Arrest that vice principal now, and Comrade Lü Liang, go to the Guangming Branch Bureau to pick him up immediately!

Chen Luo's voice remained calm and composed, dispelling Qi Tongwei's last trace of anger and replacing it with the composed demeanor of Director Qi.

"Secretary Chen, I understand."

"By the way, Secretary Chen, it seems that President Meng Changqing of our Handong University is not very willing to cooperate with our provincial department's work and is resorting to diplomatic influence to protest. What do you think?"

Qi Tongwei's direct complaint surprised Chen Luo.

Clearly, Chen Luo hadn't expected the principal to be so audacious, or rather, so arrogant.

Before Chen Luo could give any instructions, the sound of another telephone on the table in Chen Luo's study in the No. 8 compound of the Provincial Party Committee was transmitted directly to Qi Tongwei's ears through the phone in Chen Luo's hand.

"Comrade Qi Tongwei, this is Hao Yi!"

Ignore Principal Meng Changqing's obstruction and take that illegal international student and the vice principal away directly!

I will take responsibility for any subsequent consequences!

Qi Tongwei was somewhat bewildered.

Chen Luo then began to explain.

"Ahem, Director Qi, the one who just spoke was Minister Hao Yi from the Ministry of Education. Just follow his instructions."

"Understood, Secretary Chen!"

Beep beep... Beep beep...

After hanging up Qi Tongwei's call, Chen Luo picked up the phone on the table and said with a smile, "Minister Hao, please excuse my rudeness."

"That's not quite right. Meng Changqing is really audacious. The organization appointed him as the president of Handong University because they trust his abilities. If it weren't for Chen Luo calling me, I wouldn't have known that some people at Handong University had become so lawless."

You did the right thing.

I've been troubled for a long time by the issue of differential treatment of students in some domestic universities.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Trade are turning a blind eye and letting them do as they please, as long as it's not too excessive.

But this doesn't mean these international students can break the law and get away with it!

"Minister Hao's words are profound; no one is allowed to overstep the bounds of the law!" Chen Luo said this with a very firm tone.

"Sigh! Chen Luo, if all the presidents and secretaries of universities in China had your perspective, our Ministry of Education's work would be much easier."

Is it possible that some universities in China could take the lead in curbing this unhealthy trend?

Suddenly, Minister Hao Yi uttered such a sentence, and Chen Luo's eyes flashed for a moment.

"I have one year left before the re-election and retirement. Recently, the organization asked me to recommend a candidate for the next minister. There are three suitable candidates: President Xiao of Peking University, Party Secretary Ma of Tsinghua University, and the vice minister in charge of the daily work of our ministry. However, he is also getting old, so I think his chances are very slim."

If Chen Luo couldn't understand these words, then he would have truly wasted decades of his life.

"Ahem, Minister Hao, I think that's a possibility!"

"Hmm, hopefully... It's getting late, so let's stop here for now. I'm getting old and useless, unlike you who are still very young."

"Alright, then I won't disturb Minister Hao's rest any longer."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Luo smiled helplessly. He had gotten Minister Hao's phone number from his old classmate, Minister Liu from the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.

But now it seems... Chen Luo may have to deal with more than just the international students at Handong University who commit crimes.

While Chen Luo was on the phone with Minister Hao Yi, Qi Tongwei had already brought the black-skinned international student and Vice Principal Han Dawang to the Guangming Branch Bureau.

Upon arriving in Lüliang, he and staff from the Anti-Corruption Bureau took Vice Principal Wang and some evidence against him away.

After an overnight interrogation, several staff members of the Han University Police Office confessed to their illegal and disciplinary violations, and Vice President Wang was thoroughly investigated by the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

Meanwhile, after a night of fermentation, witnessed and forwarded by thousands of students at Handong University, the incident soared from the local list to fourth place on the national list of trending topics on Weibo in just one night!

With pictures, videos, and the truth, public opinion surged towards Handong University like a tsunami.

Early the next morning.

Chen Luo had just arrived at the Political and Legal Affairs Commission office and sat down when he received a call from Qi Tongwei.

"Hello, Director Qi."

"Secretary Chen! The interrogation was completed last night, and the facts are clear and the evidence is complete."

Chen Luo nodded. The case itself wasn't complicated; it was just the people and things involved that were troublesome.

"Okay, I understand. Have the Guangming Branch issue a notice about this incident on the Handong official website."

Power must operate in the sunlight; our Handong political and legal system is not afraid of supervision from the people!

"clear!"

Just after hanging up with Qi Tongwei, Chen Luo's personal cell phone rang again.

"Hey, old headmaster!"

"Chen Luo, I already know what happened at Handong University last night. To be honest with you, our Peking University has long abhorred this kind of phenomenon and this unhealthy trend. However, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade needs to accept some international students to consolidate diplomatic achievements."

It seems now that this is not a long-term solution!

Some technologies, some things, some relationships cannot be eased simply by one party being friendly.

I want to tell you that you did the right thing, and Kyoto University will always be your support!
