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

Qi Tongwei spent four days on the train in silence.

On the fourth day at noon, the train finally arrived at Pengcheng Railway Station.

After getting off the train, Qi Tongwei wasn't in a hurry.

He randomly found a noodle stall, sat down, and ordered a bowl of beef brisket noodles.

At noon, the securities company is closed, so it's no use for him to go early.

The noodle stall was small, set up in an alley next to the train station.

Although the year-end is approaching, the weather in Shenzhen is still very hot.

After a few mouthfuls of hot noodles, Qi Tongwei's forehead was already covered in sweat.

Just as he was wiping his sweat, the accident happened.

He felt someone touch his pocket.

The man's movements were somewhat clumsy; it didn't seem like stealing, but more like robbing.

Qi Tongwei's heart tightened.

He realized he had been robbed.

1990 was a period of rapid development for Shenzhen, with a large influx of migrant workers into the city.

These migrant workers have no fixed abode and are typical "three-no" people, commonly known as "vagrants".

These vagrants, unable to find work, rely on theft and robbery to survive.

On the streets, motorcycle gangs and hand-chopping gangs run rampant, making life unbearable for the people of Shenzhen.

At one point, they even reached the point where they would run away at the sight of theft and beg for mercy at the sight of robbery.

The common people may be afraid, but Qi Tongwei is not.

Who is Qi Tongwei? He is an outstanding graduate of Handong University of Political Science and Law.

During his time at school, he was proficient in everything from hand-to-hand combat to police shooting.

Otherwise, how could he dare to risk his life and infiltrate the drug den?

Qi Tongwei pretended not to know and continued to drink the soup from his bowl.

He had just taken a sip of noodle soup when, a second later, he slammed the bowl down on the thief's head.

The bowl of noodles was smashed to pieces, and soup was splashed all over the floor.

The thief clutched his head and rolled on the ground, howling in pain.

I don't know if it was from being burned or from being hit by the noodle bowl.

Qi Tongwei stood up with a cold smile and picked up his wallet from the ground.

"Tch! Your eyesight's terrible, daring to steal from me?"

Just as he was about to reach out to pull the thief off the ground, another unexpected event occurred.

A gleaming dagger stabbed from the side behind, bringing with it a flash of cold light.

Qi Tongwei dodged to the side and swept his accomplice with a whip kick.

The accomplice grunted, staggered back two steps, and knocked over the folding table next to him.

As he finished moving, he suddenly realized that he was surrounded by four people.

Qi Tongwei remained calm, and he looked at the scarred man in the lead with a cold smile.

"What? Can't steal it, so you're resorting to robbing?"

Scarface spat on the ground and weighed the dagger in his hand.

"Robbing you is too lenient! I'll make you bleed today!"

After saying that, he rushed over and stabbed Qi Tongwei in the abdomen with the dagger in his hand.

Qi Tongwei laughed, a laugh tinged with sarcasm.

He didn't dodge or flinch, but instead grabbed the folding stool behind him and swung it at them.

The folding stool was slapped on the scarred man's head.

Scarface fell to the ground with a thud, the dagger flying a long distance.

The other three people, seeing that Qi Tongwei was too difficult to deal with, turned and ran.

Qi Tongwei moved swiftly, striking with both hands, and instantly knocked down two more.

He was just about to take a picture of the last thief when the police arrived.

After all, this was at Pengcheng Railway Station, and the police on duty arrived in a timely manner.

Two police officers pushed through the crowd and weighed Qi Tongwei in their batons.

"Stop hitting! Stop it, all of you!"

Qi Tongwei was about to explain when he was stopped by the arriving police.

"Don't say anything, go to the station first! You'll have time to talk later."

Left with no other choice, Qi Tongwei had to go to the police station with the police.

......

Upon arriving at the police station, Qi Tongwei didn't waste any words and immediately showed his work ID.

The young policeman took the ID, glanced at it, and froze.

"Bianxi Province...Bianxi City Party Committee Office...Qi Tongwei...Section Chief?"

He quickly stood up, handed back his documents with both hands, and looked apologetic.

"Section Chief Qi, there's a misunderstanding. If you had shown your work ID earlier, you wouldn't have had to come all the way to the station."

Qi Tongwei didn't pursue the matter and waved his hand.

"It's all work, I understand. You all know what happened, so I'll be leaving now."

He paused slightly and glanced at the clock on the wall.

"I need to go to the securities company. I'm a bit short on time, could you give me a ride?"

The young policeman nodded repeatedly, his attitude respectful.

"No problem, you don't mind if I drive you in a police car."

......

When Qi Tongwei arrived at the entrance of the securities company, he was stunned.

The scene before me is completely different from what it was six months ago.

At that time, although there were people queuing at the entrance, there were only a few dozen people.

The number of people queuing up now is beyond description.

It was a dark, dense mass, with no end in sight.

Qi Tongwei had only taken two steps when a scalper came up to him.

"Boss, want to buy a number? I have a good spot here~"

Qi Tongwei looked at the scalper, and both of them were taken aback.

Coincidentally, it was the same scalper from whom Qi Tongwei had asked for his business card.

The scalper recognized him too, took off his sunglasses, and stared wide-eyed.

"Oh! It's you!"

Qi Tongwei chuckled and asked with a smile.

"Bro, has Shenzhen Development Bank's stock price doubled by 20%?"

The scalper immediately grinned, his expression quite exaggerated.

"You're a stock market genius! Are you selling your stocks? I'll offer a high price!"

Qi Tongwei was taken aback and tentatively asked.

"Even though I only have 3100 shares... given the current market price, it's worth close to 20 yuan, right?"

Upon hearing this, the ox immediately understood.

Qi Tongwei was worried that he couldn't afford it.

He quickly began to explain.

"It wasn't me who collected it~ The boss did, I just ran errands..."

"If you want to sell, I can make the decision; I'll buy it all for 25!"

Qi Tongwei was shocked. The overseas market had gone to such a crazy level!

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The old saying is so true: Whom God would destroy, He first makes mad.

However, this was not something he needed to worry about.

He only cares about how much he can earn.

"How do we trade? How many points do you take?"

Knowing that Qi Tongwei had something on his mind, Huang Niu quickly spoke up.

"I won't charge you any points; the boss will give me a rebate..."

"Come with me, and I'll transfer the money to you directly after you check your ticket..."

Qi Tongwei followed the scalper and turned into a room next to the securities company.

The room was bustling with activity, resembling a branch of a securities company.

The subsequent transactions went smoothly.

In less than ten minutes, all the procedures were completed.

The stock certificate in Qi Tongwei's hand turned into a savings passbook with 25 yuan.

The scalper saw Qi Tongwei off, still chattering all the way.

"Hey bro, I think you sold a bit too early...it wasn't the peak yet..."

Qi Tongwei grinned and replied.

"Knowing when to stop is a good thing..."

He knew in his heart that the deep development had reached its limit.

The market will plummet again next June, causing countless people to jump off buildings as a result.

It wasn't until Shenzhen injected 2 million yuan to rescue the market that it started to recover.

However, these are later stories.

What he needs to do now is take the 25 yuan and go back to Handong.

In Handong, the Gao sisters were still waiting for him, and Zhong Xiaoai was still waiting for him.

At 9:40 p.m., the train from Shenzhen to Handong slowly started moving.

Qi Tongwei lay on the sleeper berth, staring blankly at the ceiling.

25! In 1990, that was an enormous sum of money.

It was enough for him to settle the Gao sisters and to give Zhong Xiaoai a decent future.

It also allows him to stand tall and face all kinds of injustice head-on!

The train clattered along, its monotonous rhythm hypnotic.

Qi Tongwei closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep without realizing it.

He slept very restlessly, constantly having dreams.

I dreamt of the batch notifications from Yanshan Town.

I dreamt that Wang Jianguo asked me how to sell lottery tickets.

I dreamt that Zhong Xiaoai was crying and asking him, "Who do you really love?"

He dreamt that Liang Qunfeng and Gao Yuliang were interrogating him, asking why he had come back after leaving...

In a daze, Qi Tongwei was awakened by the train conductor checking tickets.

After checking the tickets, Qi Tongwei let out a long sigh of relief; his back was already soaked with sweat.

He stared at the endless night outside the car window and murmured softly.

"Handong, I've come to see you..."
