In name only: The land of Handong, I shall rule its fate.

"Moreover, most of the students in the Department of Political Science and Law at Hanzhong University of Science and Technology are locals from Handong, which gives them a significant advantage. Under such circumstances, it would be abnormal if the proportion of students from the Department of Political Science and Law at Hanzhong University of Science and Technology did not increase significantly."

"It is precisely because the principle of 'entry through examination' has been upheld that we have the somewhat absurd ratio we see today. Otherwise, the increase in the number of law students at Han University should not come from various civil service examinations, but from targeted selection."

What a brilliant answer!

He transformed the opponent's sharpest spear into his strongest shield.

The Wonderful House is truly wonderful!

Tian Guofu almost choked with anger; he disliked this sophistry-savvy professor to no end.

What was clearly a mistake that everyone knew was transformed into proof of his achievements through the words of the professor.

He was about to speak when he was interrupted during the spellcasting animation.

"Secretary Guofu, could you wait until I finish answering your questions before raising any objections to the points you have questions about?"

Gao Yuliang said with a smile.

As fate would have it, the bullet fired earlier struck Tian Guofu right between the eyebrows.

Tian Guofu shut up in frustration.

He wanted to see what other tricks Gao Yuliang could come up with.

"Let's talk about what Secretary Guofu mentioned, that I might be involved in eliminating my rivals and rising to power through my marriage to Wu Huifen."

"It seems reasonable."

"But Secretary Guofu, you overlooked one, or rather two, points: First, the decision-making body for promotion lies with the management of Handong, not with the opinion of one family or clan."

"If the Wu family truly possessed such power to influence the positions at Han University, then Han University would belong to the Wu family. Would the Wu family still need to marry their precious daughter to me? Would other professors and lecturers still have a place to stand? Would Han University students still be Han University students?"

"Obviously, that's impossible."

"Professor Wu Zhongyao, who competed against me back then, did withdraw from the election, but I didn't know he was Wu Huifen's cousin at the time. I was able to win because I had a more solid theoretical foundation, stronger professional skills, and a teaching style that students liked more than Professor Zhongyao."

"As for the matter involving the Yao and Lin families, I feel very sorry. But before this incident, I never imagined that such a serious case of collective corruption could occur in modern society. It exposed my shortcomings in supervision, as well as the serious gaps and deficiencies in the entire Handong supervision system. The Discipline Inspection Commission, the Supervisory Commission, and higher-level units did nothing for a full ten years."

Gao Yuliang stood up and bowed deeply. "I have already given a detailed report to Team Leader Xu about the specific situation in Chuzhou, so I won't go into details here today."

hiss!

I've lost count of how many times today I've gasped in shock at the gerbil poison; its effectiveness is truly formidable.

He was able to hold on because he had enough health, and he relied on fooling people whenever possible. But Gao Yuliang was different; he was on the offensive the whole time, and every word he said was a trap. He exaggerated or downplayed the laws and regulations where they should be, and replaced the interpretation of extreme cases with the normal. If you want to argue, go ahead and step on the landmine!

I guarantee you won't make a sound when I step on them.

Moreover, to prevent Tian Guofu, this reckless man, from ignoring the situation, Gao Yuliang even resorted to his ultimate move:

The special investigation team has determined the nature of Gao Yuliang's investigation into the Chuzhou incident.

This matter has ended with Gao Yuliang being removed from his position as Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission and receiving disciplinary action. Further investigation would be questioning the joint decision made by the special investigation team and higher authorities.

It's another case of being unable to handle the consequences.

He has mastered the art of sophistry to a level of unparalleled skill.

Gerbil glancing at Tian Guofu with a gleeful expression, "Oh dear, those eyes aren't eyes, and those noses aren't noses. I'm so angry!"

Come on, keep charging!

You should confess to Professor Gao! Look at you, Tian Guofu, you chickened out again.

Tian Guofu's expression was indeed unpleasant. Further investigation into the Wu family's influence at Wuhan University would inevitably affect the internal structure of the university, which would be a thankless task. Further investigation into Gao Yuliang's supervisory dereliction of duty would be even more serious, as the disciplinary inspection system's long-term negligence was more likely to shake the foundation of the university.

hateful!

He knew Gao Yuliang was difficult to deal with, but he never expected him to be this difficult.

"I will provide a common explanation for questions four and five."

Gao Yuliang continued his defensive counterattack, "Comrade Guofu, the incident I just mentioned also includes my marital problems. I've kept it a secret for so long, it's time to make things clear."

"Let me tell you about Huifen and me first."

Gao Yuliang's tone softened noticeably. "We were indeed in a teacher-student relationship. Such a relationship was not allowed or accepted by society, not only back then but even now. So when I learned of a young girl's feelings, my first reaction was not joy, but fear and rejection."

"When she first entered Han University, she studied political science and law, not history. She knew I liked the history of the Ming Dynasty, so she resolutely changed her major."

"Watching a little girl bow her head again and again, fall down again and again, and stubbornly get up again and again, I don't know if any of you have had this experience, but it was very painful for me to watch back then."

Guilt breeds pity, and pity gives rise to emotion.

"Then something happened the year she graduated, and we secretly got together and quickly registered our marriage after graduation."

Everyone keenly grasped the key phrase "the year of graduation," but no one spoke, quietly waiting for Gao Yuliang's performance.

There was no applause from the audience.

Gao Yuliang wasn't annoyed and said directly, "The joy didn't last long in our marriage. Amidst the monotony of work, life, and raising children, the study of Ming history was one of our few shared interests."

"This hobby was once my nightmare."

"Huifen is a very competitive person. She always strives to do her best in everything she does, including ordinary historical research. As an enthusiast, I am constantly defeated by her professional expertise. I am often left speechless."

"to be honest."

"I have a strong sense of male chauvinism. In my area of ​​interest, I've been suppressed like this by my wife and former student, and our discussions have gradually decreased."

"The marriage continued, but the increasing conflicts between work and our daughter's growing up, after losing its initial luster, turned into a mess. We started arguing, endless arguing, and the house was full of trivial matters, but we still had to pretend to be a loving couple in public."

"But I have to endure it and give in, so as not to embarrass her."

"Later, I was handpicked by former Party Secretary Liang Qunfeng to enter the system from being a teacher. It was something I longed for and it was also easy. I finally escaped the cage of working with my wife, and my mind even started to become a little wild."

"Finally, this wildness broke through the shackles of reason in that year, which was my second year as the secretary of the Luzhou Municipal Party Committee."

"I met another woman."

"I crossed the line..."
