When Liu Fei heard Qi Tongwei's slightly choked voice on the other end of the phone, she also panicked.
When Liu Fei and Fang Zhenhua got married, Qi Tongwei was only twelve or thirteen years old. In a sense, she, as his aunt, watched Qi Tongwei grow up.
Later, Fang Zhenhua was in the military for a long time, and she was also very busy working at the General Hospital of the Army. During the summer vacation, he took care of the three children.
Qi Tongwei has been pursuing a master's degree for the past few years. He didn't go to Beijing for two summers, and his three children still ask him why he didn't come.
The bond between cousins is exceptionally strong.
Therefore, Liu Fei also liked this nephew very much; he was obedient, smart, and outstanding.
"Tongwei, what's wrong? Did something happen? Tell your aunt."
“Aunt, I don’t know why, but the school assigned me to work at a township judicial office under the jurisdiction of Lincheng City.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Fei, who was on the other end of the phone, immediately raised her eyebrows.
She grew up in a high-ranking official's family and never went into politics, but she was naturally familiar with certain things from what she saw and heard.
Upon hearing Qi Tongwei's words, her first thought was that someone was playing tricks on him and had set him up.
How dare she mess with her nephew! She's got a death wish.
"Tongwei, where are you now?"
"I'm in the office of our department head, Professor Gao Yuliang."
Is your teacher nearby?
"Let him answer the phone."
Qi Tongwei was quick-witted; he had just turned on speakerphone, so Gao Yuliang heard everything Liu Fei said.
At this moment, Gao Yuliang had some doubts.
Qi Tongwei listed his family background as workers, with his parents being ordinary workers in Wenjiang County, Yantai City. Could he possibly have some extraordinary background?
But it doesn't look quite right!
However, judging from the tone of Tongwei's aunt's voice, she seemed to be someone extraordinary.
Gao Yuliang took the phone with some skepticism, but before he could speak, Liu Fei spoke first.
"Is this Teacher Gao?"
“I am Qi Tongwei’s aunt. As a parent, I disagree with your school’s assignment. I know Tongwei’s grades very well. He was recommended for graduate school. Such an excellent child is assigned to a rural judicial office. Are you kidding me?”
Liu Fei's tone was firm, and she had the right to be firm.
Who is Liu Fei?
His father is the veteran General Liu. Although he has just retired, his status is still there. Is being called a Shichibukai a joke?
My elder brother is now a vice-ministerial level official. During the reshuffle, he was officially transferred to Zhongjiang Province to serve as a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, and Executive Vice Governor.
The teacher is the father of a generation of surgery.
Her husband is the youngest major general in the entire army, having just taken office as the commander of an army group last month, and he is the commander of the army's top elite army.
She herself is the youngest director at the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army.
With her multiple identities, Liu Fei is, in some ways, even more aristocratic than a noblewoman.
Upon hearing Liu Fei's words, Gao Yuliang felt a sudden panic for some reason, and he quickly replied.
"Dear parents of Tongwei, please trust our school. We will definitely give Tongwei an explanation."
"Explanation? We don't need it. Put the phone on speakerphone right now."
Gao Yuliang subconsciously obeyed Liu Fei's order and pressed the speakerphone button.
Qi Tongwei responded, and Liu Fei continued.
"Take the next train back to Beijing right away. Your uncle is going home tomorrow. Since the distribution is unfair, then there's no need to distribute it anymore."
“We’ll find a job ourselves. Your aunt will definitely have your uncle help you find a good one. What a piece of junk, the judicial office? It’s like burning newspapers on a grave, trying to fool the ghosts.”
Liu Fei slammed down the phone.
Qi Tongwei made a move to leave, but Gao Yuliang suddenly called out to him.
"Tongwei, who is your uncle?"
Qi Tongwei stopped and turned to look at his teacher.
Gao Yuliang usually treated him quite well.
Therefore, at this moment, Qi Tongwei did not want to hide it from the teacher, lest the teacher be implicated if the punishment came down.
"Teacher, I originally wanted to keep a low profile and find a good job through my own efforts, without causing trouble for my uncle. But now I know that there are some people you just can't treat well."
"You ask me who my uncle is? My uncle's name is Fang Zhenhua. He is the commander of the Long Live Army of the Beijing Military Region and a major general in the army. You can go and tell Qi Zhengwen, or even ask that Secretary Liang. They will know who my uncle is."
After saying that, Qi Tongwei walked out of the office.
But his words were enough to shock Gao Yuliang.
Qi Tongwei actually has a military commander as his uncle?
He knew absolutely nothing about it.
It seems the higher-ups didn't even understand the situation before acting recklessly, and now they've caused trouble.
That's not right! Even though a corps commander has considerable power in the military, this is a local area. The military and local authorities are not subordinate to each other, and the army cannot interfere in local affairs.
So there must be something else going on behind the scenes. Tongwei is hiding it very well!
Fortunately, he was usually quite nice to this student.
Instead of asking Vice Principal Qi, Gao Yuliang called his wife, Wu Huifen.
During the phone call, he mentioned Qi Tongwei's situation briefly, and then added something at the end.
"You and Liang Lu have a good relationship, but you must not get involved this time."
"Yuliang, what happened?"
"I don't know the specifics, but I know it's a battle between gods. If we mortals get involved, we won't even know how we died."
Wu Huifen sensed Gao Yuliang's tone and felt a chill run down her spine.
At this time, there was no crisis in the marriage between Teacher Wu and Teacher Gao.
So even though Liang Lu was an alumnus, from Wu Huifen's perspective, Gao Yuliang was undoubtedly the center.
Qi Tongwei left Gao Yuliang's office and went straight back to his dormitory. He packed his luggage and then prepared to leave.
The guys in the dorm felt sorry for Qi Tongwei, but they were just students, and compared to the school, they were a vulnerable group.
However, Qi Tongwei's current actions also worried them. They were afraid that Qi Tongwei would not be able to accept reality and might do something drastic.
So one by one they couldn't help but ask.
"Tongwei, where are you packing your bags to go?"
"Yes, Tongwei, whatever it is, let's discuss it together."
One of his roommates even grabbed Qi Tongwei's suitcase.
“Tongwei, even if we can’t be assigned to a government job, we still have the path of becoming lawyers. At worst, once the brothers get into the public security, procuratorate, or judicial system, we’ll back you up and definitely help you make it a good path as a lawyer.”
The fact that Qi Tongwei could say such things proves that he is very popular in the dormitory.
Feeling the goodwill of his roommates, Qi Tongwei shook his head slightly.
"Don't worry! I won't do anything rash. I'm just packing my bags to go to the capital."
What are you going to the capital for?
“I’m going to the capital to find my uncle. The heavens of Handong can’t give me justice, but there are heavens beyond heavens. There will naturally be someone in this world who will give me justice. Brothers, wait for me to come back.”
After saying that, Qi Tongwei picked up his luggage and left the dormitory, leaving Handong University.
Since Heaven won't give me justice, then I'll expose it.
Chapter 144 The Top Secretary of Handong
The Fang family in the capital.
After arriving at Beijing Railway Station, Qi Tongwei took a bus to Fang Zhenhua's residence.
Fang Zhenhua lived in the HD district, which was very close to the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army.
As her children grew older, Liu Fei felt that the original apartment she was allocated was too small, so she changed to another one.
The new house has three bedrooms and two living rooms, and Fang Hongtao and Fang Hongzhou live here.
It's not that Fang Zhenhua doesn't want to live in a better house, but for someone of his rank, housing isn't the key factor. He'll naturally be able to move into an XS house when he reaches a higher rank.
Moreover, the HD area has relatively abundant educational resources, which is quite advantageous for the three children.
Qi Tongwei carried his suitcase up to the third floor and knocked on the door.
The person who opened the door was a twelve-year-old girl, Fang Zhenhua's eldest daughter, Fang Jinyu.
"Brother, you're here?"
"Where's my aunt?"
“My mom went to work at the hospital, but she told me to wait for her at home when you arrive. Oh, and my dad is coming back this afternoon.”
Qi Tongwei nodded, carried his suitcase into the house, put it down, and then sat down on the sofa, covering his face with his hands.
Around noon, Liu Fei returned home from the hospital.
As soon as she got home, she saw Qi Tongwei sitting on the sofa in a daze, and immediately greeted him.
Upon hearing his aunt's voice, Qi Tongwei quickly stood up and gave Liu Fei a bitter smile.
"Aunt, you're back?"
Qi Tongwei's mental state was not very good. Seeing her son, who should have been sunny and cheerful, in this state, Liu Fei, as his aunt, naturally felt bad.
"I've already spoken to the restaurant, and they'll be delivering the food in a little while. Your uncle is coming home this afternoon, and he and your aunt will take care of anything that might upset you."
"Aunt, I'm sorry to have troubled you."
“You child, we’re all family, what nonsense are you talking about? Our children absolutely cannot be bullied by others, no one at all.”
For Qi Tongwei, Liu Fei's attitude was the most comforting thing he had heard in the past few days. After all, she was still his aunt! She was protective of her own.
At lunchtime, Qi Tongwei, for the first time ever, opened a bottle of beer and drank one glass after another until he was completely drunk.
Fang Zhenhua was helped into the bedroom by Fang Hongtao and Fang Hongzhou. He arrived home while Qi Tongwei was asleep.
Fang Zhenhua, dressed in his general's uniform, strode into the house. Liu Fei had already spoken to him, so he knew very well that Qi Tongwei was coming to the capital today.
The first thing he asked after entering the house was this question.
Where is Tongwei?
"I drank too much at noon and I'm sleeping now!"
Fang Zhenhua nodded and went to his two sons' bedroom. Seeing Qi Tongwei fast asleep, Fang Zhenhua was furious.
He was determined to save his nephew from hell and let the child walk openly and honestly from now on.
But some people insist on pushing his nephew into hell, as if they really think Fang Zhenhua is made of clay.
When Qi Tongwei woke up, it was almost evening. He came out of the bedroom and immediately saw Fang Zhenhua and Liu Fei sitting on the sofa.
"Uncle, aunt."
"Sit there."
Liu Fei didn't speak, but Fang Zhenhua pointed, indicating that Qi Tongwei should sit in the chair opposite him.
Liu Fei nodded slightly to Qi Tongwei, who immediately understood and sat obediently in the chair.
Fang Zhenhua started making phone calls.
Old Fang picked up the phone on the sofa, dialed a number, and only after the call was connected did Qi Tongwei realize who he was calling.
"Secretary Gong, I haven't properly congratulated you yet! Congratulations on taking office in Handong and becoming a powerful regional official."
"Your intelligence came so fast? I just arrived in Handong and haven't even notified you yet, and you already received it in the army?"
