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

"You can go out now."

Liang Qunfeng waved to Liang Lu beside him, looking somewhat forlorn.

Liang Lu frowned slightly, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

She glanced at Liang Qunfeng, turned and left, gently closing the study door behind her.

In the dimly lit study, Liang Qunfeng sat in his official hat chair, silent.

Things are already out of control, and there's no point in saying more. All he can do is try to salvage the situation.

How can this be remedied?

The personnel allocation has been completed, and official documents have been issued.

It is impossible to redistribute Qi Tongwei.

He suddenly felt a bit irritable, so he took out a box of premium cigarettes from the drawer and lit one.

The smoke, which was originally rich and mellow, tasted somewhat bitter today.

He suddenly realized that the poor boy Qi Tongwei had become a ticking time bomb.

The scariest thing is that we don't know when it will explode or how powerful it will be.

After pondering for a long time, Liang Qunfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, a sinister smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

If you can't suppress it, then throw it away, throw it far away.

Throw it somewhere you can't see it, out of sight, out of mind.

He snorted coldly and muttered to himself.

"Want to go to the border regions? Here you go... You really think it's a good place?"

Thinking of this, he picked up the phone and dialed Zhou Xiaochuan's number.

......

The sky was full of stars, and thousands of lights were on in every home, but Zhou Xiaochuan did not leave his office.

He sat at his desk, staring blankly at the phone on it.

He is waiting.

He was certain that Liang Qunfeng would call.

Suddenly, the phone rang, startling him.

A smile played on his lips as he glanced at the quartz clock on the wall; it was exactly 8:30.

As soon as the call connected, Zhou Xiaochuan immediately adjusted his voice, sounding somewhat anxious.

"Hello, this is Zhou Xiaochuan..."

On the other end of the phone, Liang Qunfeng's voice rang out, already back to its usual calm and deep tone.

"Comrade Xiaochuan, this is Liang Qunfeng."

Zhou Xiaochuan gave a cold laugh and asked in a deep voice.

"Secretary Liang, what are your instructions?"

Liang Qunfeng coughed lightly and spoke slowly.

"After some consideration, I believe that as an advanced province, Handong Province should support the country's development of the Great Northwest."

He paused slightly, then spoke again, his voice flat.

"Since the Organization Department of the Bianxi Provincial Committee needs people... let's give them to him."

Zhou Xiaochuan was not surprised.

Throwing Qi Tongwei to the side is now Liang Qunfeng's optimal solution.

No matter who intervenes, he knows how to handle the situation appropriately.

Responding to the national call, we support the development of western China.

If I said that, no one could find fault with it.

He sneered inwardly, but immediately replied aloud.

"Okay, Secretary Liang."

He thought Liang Qunfeng would hang up the phone.

Unexpectedly, Liang Qunfeng added another sentence.

"Qi Tongwei is a promising talent; he should be given more responsibility. We could suggest that Bianxi Province send him to one of the most challenging locations..."

Liang Qunfeng's voice was soft and he spoke slowly, yet it secretly alarmed Zhou Xiaochuan.

Should we add to the burden?

Should we send them to the most difficult places?

He spoke tentatively, his voice somewhat hoarse.

"For example...Bian Nan?"

On the other end of the phone, Liang Qunfeng laughed, a hearty laugh.

"Haha...that's fine too. I won't say more about the Organization Department's suggestion."

"In short, true gold fears no fire. We must trust Comrade Qi Tongwei!"

The phone hangs up.

Zhou Xiaochuan's face was gloomy. He stared at the phone in his hand, his brows slightly furrowed.

Zhou Xiaochuan sighed inwardly, thinking how ruthless Liang Qunfeng was.

Go to Biannan? Liang Qunfeng is trying to kill Qi Tongwei.

Deserts, Gobi, ethnic conflicts...

Last year alone, no fewer than 20 law enforcement personnel in Biannan died in the line of duty.

Everyone knows that going to the northern border is barely considered a prestigious experience, while going to the southern border is pure suicide!

He wiped the sweat from his brow and made a silent resolution.

Never make an enemy of Liang Qunfeng; that old fox is too ruthless and will devour people without spitting out the bones.

He glanced at the quartz clock; it was already 8:40.

He didn't dare delay and immediately dialed the office phone.

"Xiao Zhao, come up here and send a reply to the Organization Department of the Bianxi Provincial Party Committee."

"You can leave after you send it."

The reply was written long ago; he had already anticipated that Liang Qunfeng would release the person.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Xiaochuan let out a long sigh and shook his head with a wry smile.

Fortunately, people in Bianxi Province get off work late, otherwise this reply wouldn't have been sent out today.

……

The next morning.

There was a knock on Qi Tongwei's dormitory door.

The door opened, and a junior student wearing glasses stood in front of it.

"Senior Qi Tongwei, Professor Gao wants to see you in his office. He needs to talk to you about something."

Qi Tongwei nodded and thanked him with a smile.

"Thank you. I'll be right there."

Watching his junior's departing figure, a slow smile crept onto his lips.

He knew in his heart that the mine he had planted had exploded.

The thunder did indeed explode.

But what he didn't know was that it wasn't the mine he planted, but the Heavenly Bell.

If things had gone according to his original plan, the second letter from Bianxi Province would have drawn Zhao Lichun's attention...

It will take at least another week, or even longer.

......

Arriving at Gao Yuliang's office door, Qi Tongwei gently knocked.

When Gao Yuliang saw him arrive, he smiled and poured him a cup of tea.

"Tongwei's here, come and sit down."

Gao Yuliang returned to his seat and spoke with a smile.

"There's good news."

Gao Yuliang smiled warmly, but Qi Tongwei saw it and felt it was somewhat fake.

Qi Tongwei didn't expose him and fully cooperated with his acting.

His eyes lit up, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Teacher, what's the good news?"

Gao Yuliang, unusually, tossed him a cigarette; it was a good brand, Zhonghua.

"I just received a call from the Organization Department; your application to support border regions has been approved."

"You don't need to go to Yanshan Town."

Gao Yuliang lit the cigarette in his hand, looked at Qi Tongwei, and felt a sense of satisfaction.

Qi Tongwei fiddled with the cigarette in his hand, but didn't light it.

"That's really good news."

He stared at Gao Yuliang, smiled, and spoke with a playful expression.

Gao Yuliang was taken aback, and his expression became somewhat awkward.

He lowered his head, avoiding Qi Tongwei's gaze, and coughed lightly.

"Tongwei, you know... there are some things that even teachers are powerless to change..."

He wanted to continue, but Qi Tongwei interrupted him.

"Teacher! This is all you can do for me."

"With so many students, how far they can go and how high they can climb still depends on their own abilities!"

His voice wasn't loud, but every word was like a knife, each one piercing Gao Yuliang's heart.

Before Gao Yuliang could react, he continued speaking, his voice flat.

"Teacher, have you announced the registration time and location?"

Gao Yuliang shook his head and answered with a smile.

"Is there anything else? The Organization Department told you to wait for further notice..."

Qi Tongwei nodded, stood up and took his leave.

"Okay, teacher. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now. I still need to pack my luggage."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Gao Yuliang's smile froze.

He waved his hand, his voice slightly hoarse.

"Conditions are tough in the western border region, please take care..."

Qi Tongwei stood up, looked at Gao Yuliang, and bowed deeply.

As he stood up, his expression became serious, and his voice became more solemn.

Thank you for your guidance over the years. Please take care.

After saying that, Qi Tongwei turned around and left the office.

As Gao Yuliang watched his departing figure, he suddenly felt a little dazed.

It seems that my beloved student is drifting further and further away from me.

So far away that you can't even see their backs clearly.
