Rebirth of Minister Qi

The fourteen-year-old sister standing by just wiped away her tears as she watched her brother getting injured, not daring to say much.

Thinking of this, Qi Tongwei recalled that Gao Yuliang had accused him of bringing all the stray dogs in the village to the Public Security Bureau to serve as police dogs in the last few days. Although this was a bit exaggerated, Qi Tongwei, who was deeply indebted to the villagers, felt it was his duty as a human being to do some good for the villagers to the best of his ability. After all, he owed them too much.

But we can no longer do that in this life. After all, public power is power given by the state, not something that can be granted privately by individuals. As a party member, we must have such awareness.

It seems that we should take advantage of the reform and opening up and the rapid economic development to provide benefits to our fellow villagers. This will not violate the Party’s spirit and will also repay the great kindness of our fellow villagers.

“I have to stay in the hospital for a while and take good care of myself. I can’t be forced to leave the hospital like I did in my previous life, which left me with sequelae.

Three months is not a long time, find something to do."

An elegant scholar wearing gold-rimmed glasses and with a constant smile on his face came in at the door of the ward. He was Gao Yuliang, the director of the Political Science and Law Department of Handong University of Political Science and Law, and also Qi Tongwei's mentor.

"Teacher Gao, you're here. I told you everything is fine."

Qi Tongwei's words were full of excitement. He looked at the young Gao Yuliang, who was still so elegant. Gao Yuliang adjusted his glasses and smiled. He always had this warm smile on his face. No matter whether they were students or teachers, they would be impressed by his personal charm.

"Alas, you are stubborn. I have advised you to just stay at the grassroots level and not join the anti-drug team, but you insisted on seeking wealth and fame at the risk of your life.

Honor is honor, but there is only one life."

The last sentence touched Qi Tongwei's heart. Yes, we only have one life and two lives. Finally returning here made him deeply realize the preciousness of life.

"Teacher, you are right. I will not be so reckless in the future. My application for transfer to the capital was rejected."

Gao Yuliang looked at his exceptionally smart student and knew that he could not hide the truth from him. The bureau leaders were afraid of undermining his confidence, so they specially invited Qi Tongwei's mentor Gao Yuliang to come and help Qi Tongwei with his psychological counseling.

"Don't feel any burden. There will be more opportunities in the future. Your leaders have also done their best to apply for you to receive the commendation from the joint working group of the State Council and the honor from the Ministry of Public Security. The Public Security Department also specially awarded you the first-class merit.

Even if you can't be transferred to the capital, these honors will make your career smoother in the future."

Qi Tongwei still felt a bitter taste. Although he knew that things would inevitably change like this, he could not avoid it emotionally. He could only take a deep breath to calm down. A new life and a new beginning were coming. He could not miss it this time. No matter if it was Chen Yang or anything else, it would all be in the past.

"Teacher, during the past few days of recuperation here, I have thought a lot and figured out a lot. The operation of power cannot be changed by me being as willful as a child.

Heroes are just tools of power, so I will not be discouraged, and these honors will become stepping stones for me in the future."

Gao Yuliang felt the change in Qi Tongwei. He seemed to be more sunny and positive. He understood this proud disciple. In the past, because of poverty, Qi Tongwei was very inferior and sensitive in his bones, and sometimes he had unrealistic expectations of the world.

But now this feeling is gone. At this moment, Qi Tongwei is more like an old politician full of confidence, whether it is the self-confidence or the arrogance engraved in his bones, yes, it is arrogance, this is the first feeling Gao Yuliang felt.

This child has changed. He now sees the essence of the operation of power more clearly. This makes Gao Yuliang a little uncomfortable, but he doesn't take it to heart. After all, Qi Tongwei had just returned from the gates of hell. The doctor said that his heart stopped for twenty minutes, and he was able to come back to life so quickly, which was already a medical miracle.

In addition, Gao Yuliang was well aware of Liang Lu's suppression of Qi Tongwei, but he had no way to intervene. Liang Lu was a good friend of his wife, Teacher Wu, and was also an important information bridge between him and Secretary Liang Qunfeng of the Provincial Party Committee. He had learned that Secretary Liang Qunfeng admired him very much and wanted to transfer him from Handong University of Political Science and Law to enter politics. The promised position was deputy secretary-general of the Provincial Party Committee, which was a powerful deputy-department-level position, which was a world of difference from his position as a dean at the university. No matter in terms of promotion potential, the power of the position, social status, etc., the only advantage of the position in the university was that the salary here was a few dozen more professors' subsidies every month.

"By the way, teacher, you like Ming history. I will need some time to stay in the hospital here. Can you help me find some books about the Ming Dynasty?

Especially books from the Jiajing Emperor’s time.”

Gao Yuliang was a little surprised to hear this request, but he has been interested in Ming history for a long time and does have many professional books and personal insights on this subject. Qi Tongwei also knew about this in the past, but he just didn't like reading history and said he wanted to live in the present. He was still very surprised to hear this, but also happy.

"Okay, I have plenty of them, I'll bring them back to you in a couple of days.

Reading more is a good thing. We can learn about the rise and fall of nations from history, correct people and understand gains and losses from history, and clear up corrupt customs from history.

I always mentioned this to you before, but you were just too stubborn.

That's good, it's just right for you to kill time and recuperate. You don't have to rush back to work. Your bureau leader said he'll give you three months to recuperate."

Gao Yuliang left, but Qi Tongwei was still thinking.

He had a purpose for asking for books from the Jiajing period. He was planning to be a plagiarist. He had been bored recently and had asked someone to bring some books over. He had wanted to read a series of books like the Yongzheng Dynasty, but he found that there were no books in this series at that time. This gave Qi Tongwei a way to make money.

In this life, he planned to develop his career well. As for stocks, he only had a general idea about them, such as a few particularly good stocks, but those were long-term investments. He had never been exposed to short-term investments and didn't understand them at all. So, the fortune he made from stocks could only be put into long-term investments, and the rest he could use to buy a house in Shanghai or Beijing. The increased value would be enough for him to avoid corruption for the rest of his life.

The short-term plan is very clear, writing historical novels. In his previous life, Awei liked this kind of novel very much and could recite it almost by heart. His writing style was also very good. So after much thought, Qi Tongwei decided to write a book called "Ming Dynasty 1566" during his three months in hospital.

"They get two million, I get one million, my money!"

Qi Tongwei knew these classic lines by heart. In addition, the Civil Service Law stipulated in a few years that the only legal part-time income for civil servants were royalties and stock income, and any other side-effects would easily give people a handle.

In order to go further, more steadily and higher, Qi Tongwei must strictly plan each next step.
