Chapter 108 Marriage Choices of a Prominent Family
"This kid is a killing knife."
Shen Ning made a concise and insightful summary.
Shen Zhenhua agreed, stating, "Rapid economic development inevitably leads to crime and corruption. If this knife is used well, it can pave the way for reform and opening up, but it is also very dangerous; this knife can be broken at any time."
“I agree with what you said, brother. The reporter who reported this is Ye Xuan. If I remember correctly, she is Old Master Ye’s granddaughter. Could it be that Old Master Ye approves of this young man as his grandson-in-law and is paving the way for him? But if I were Ye Xuan’s parents, I would never let my daughter marry this young man.”
Old Shen was proud of his two outstanding children, but he couldn't help but sigh that they were always weighing the pros and cons and lacked some revolutionary faith. After reading the newspaper, he actually admired Qi Tongwei. It was a rare quality for a young man to dare to defy authority.
That's all for today. I'll say it again: don't interfere in National Day matters.
"Yes, Dad, don't worry, Guoqing is so carefree, nothing will happen to him."
In her older sister Shen Ning's eyes, Shen Guoqing was a good-for-nothing. He was a 30-year-old man who had not settled down and started a family. All he knew was to shout about freedom every day. In her eyes, he was no different from a hooligan.
Old Shen waved his hand, signaling his children to leave. He was well aware that his daughter looked down on his youngest son.
After leaving the house, Shen Zhenhua warned, "Little sister, don't mention National Day in front of Mom and Dad anymore."
Shen Ning sneered, "Brother, good medicine tastes bitter. Since none of you want to be the bad guy, I will. Tell me, if Guoqing continues like this, who knows what outrageous things he might do? If Guoqing really commits a crime, it will also affect your political future."
Shen Zhenhua was well aware that once he reached his position, advancing further would be extremely difficult, and family background was also an important factor in the organization's evaluation.
"Little sister, we're all family. You mustn't say things like that again, especially in front of Mom and Dad."
Shen Ning nodded, then got into the car and left without looking back.
As Shen Zhenhua watched his departing sister, he, as the eldest brother, wished for harmony and prosperity in the family.
Office of Xu Dingbang, Secretary of the Handong Provincial Party Committee.
Zhuang Guosen reported, "Secretary Xu, the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau has sent a secondment application to our provincial procuratorate for that kid. It seems that kid is going to give the leaders in Shanghai a headache again."
Xu Dingbang, holding a copy of the Hong Kong Daily newspaper featuring Qi Tongwei's winnings of thirty million, said, "Let that kid do it. He's so rich now, he might quit any day now."
Zhuang Guosen sighed, "Why is this kid so lucky? Thirty million! I wouldn't even dare to dream of that. Maybe we should let him take the money back to Handong to invest."
Xu Dingbang laughed, "Guosen, you're even more domineering than me! No matter what, this kid is still from the Jingzhou Procuratorate. He solved such a big case; we can't just punish him without rewarding him, can we? Promote him to section chief."
"Brilliant!" Zhuang Guosen understood. The fact that the kid was still willing to work in Shanghai meant that he still had some ambition for a career in government; otherwise, he would have come back and resigned or taken a leave of absence without pay.
"Okay, Secretary Xu."
Ji Changming also received a transfer request from the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau for Qi Tongwei, forwarded by the Provincial Procuratorate.
Looking at the secondment application documents, Ji Changming fell into deep thought. Without this kid causing trouble every day, he really wasn't used to it.
The news that Qi Tongwei had won 30 million had spread throughout Jingzhou. Ji Changming kept thinking about one question: if 30 million were placed in front of him, would he faint from shock?
Qin Xue received gifts from Qi Tongwei: the latest Sony cassette player, a poster and album signed by Anita Mui, and a special gift—a heart-shaped jade pendant, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Of course, there was also the newspaper article about a poor mainlander who won 30 million. She was shocked because Qi Tongwei had told her before he went to Hong Kong that he would be a multi-millionaire when he came back. She couldn't help but laugh, thinking he was like a child who loved to show off his wealth.
She learned about the smuggling and murder case in Shanghai through her grandfather's connections. Qi Tongwei's unwavering devotion moved her, and she thought she would never be moved by a man in her life.
Qi Tongwei's courage and fearlessness also inspired Qin Xue. She had the idea of not wanting to stay in the Jingzhou Procuratorate anymore, because she also had her own ideals. What was the point of running away from her parents for the rest of her life? Her grandfather was born in the year of the Xinhai Revolution and was 81 years old by National Day. Life and death are unpredictable, and she wanted to spend more time with her beloved grandfather.
At the entrance of the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau.
Ye Xuan delivered a used Jetta to Qi Tongwei; it looked about 70-80% new.
Qi Tongwei got into the car, started the engine, and drove around for a bit. It was very smooth and felt good to drive.
"Reporter Ye, you really are a lifesaver for me!"
"No, I don't want to be your Brother Song."
Qi Tongwei chuckled, "Reporter Ye, you've given me such a big gift, I absolutely have to treat you to a meal."
Ye Xuan smiled, opened the door, and got out of the car. "No need, don't flatter yourself. This car isn't a gift; you can just borrow it for a few days."
Qi Tongwei quickly got out of the car and went outside. "Reporter Ye, I have some indecent photos of Liu Yanyan here. Do you want a copy?"
Ye Xuan said arrogantly, "It's an eyesore for me, I don't need it. But I still want to remind you, this is Shanghai, you should be more discreet."
"What am I afraid of? With Reporter Ye protecting me, all I need to do is be brave and fearless, overcoming all obstacles."
Ye Xuan smiled bitterly. This quality of the man did attract her, but apart from her grandfather, everyone in her family was against it, and her parents wanted to send her abroad immediately.
"Qi Tongwei, I'm leaving. You focus on solving the case."
"We are determined to complete the task assigned to us by Reporter Ye."
Ye Xuan smiled, got into the Mercedes, waved goodbye.
Qi Tongwei waved goodbye.
He sensed that Ye Xuan was forcing a smile, and even seemed a little sad.
Sitting in the Mercedes, Ye Xuan couldn't help but shed tears. She couldn't give up everything, and she wasn't as brave as Qi Tongwei. In the end, she compromised. Her grandfather protected Qi Tongwei, and she went abroad to study.
Qi Tongwei had no time to dwell on personal feelings; he immediately took Tang Guozhong and Tian Xiaobing to the customs office.
He approached Liu Duoli, the director of the customs office, and said, "Hello, Director Liu, could you please provide me with a copy of the information for all the shipping companies?"
Liu Duoli was taken aback for a moment. "Officer, please wait a moment."
A short while later, Liu Duoli brought over a document about the shipping company.
Qi Tongwei immediately flipped through the list and quickly found that the shipping company corresponding to TTN was Tailong Shipping Company from Hong Kong.
"Director Liu, could you please show me the cargo declaration forms for Tailong Shipping Company for the past six months and the next three months?"
Immediately, Liu Duoli was so nervous that he dropped the documents in his hands.
Qi Tongwei noticed something was wrong and immediately asked, "Director Liu, what's wrong? Didn't you get enough rest?"
Liu Duoli quickly touched his forehead to hide his guilt, "It's nothing, I was just a bit busy today and didn't have breakfast, so I feel a little dizzy."
