Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 177: First Lesson 1

When Qi Tongwei hurried to the office of the School of Law on Campus, there were so many people inside that there was no room for everyone to sit.

"Hello, Director."

Mr. Huang looked a little haggard, probably because he had been working overtime continuously. It seemed that this job really brought him great enthusiasm and added a lot of flavor to his retirement life.

"Mr. Huang, how are the preparations going?"

Political Commissar Huang shook hands with Qi Tongwei, then stretched out his hand to drive out a large group of idlers, and then began to speak.

"I am trembling with fear. Even with my old bones, I will be able to teach people one day. This sense of responsibility is even stronger than when I was a local police officer.

Now I just want to teach and guide these children well.”

Qi Tongwei looked at Mr. Huang and felt that his thoughts might have gone astray, and suddenly felt a little regretful.

He overlooked one point, that is, these retired police officers are generally the grandfathers of these children. Chinese people have the habit of embracing their grandchildren rather than their own children, and grandparents' affection is a very common phenomenon. Seeing these energetic and lovely children in the school calling their principal grandpa, would this kind of emotion affect the fairness of law enforcement?

Qi Tongwei couldn't judge. In terms of Mr. Huang's personal party principles, he could control himself, but it was hard to predict what about other veteran cadres. Would they look at these children as superficially pitiful and ignore the fact that they had violated the law, thus forming an invisible cover-up?

At this time, Qi Tongwei made up his mind that by the end of the summer vacation of this semester, these old cadres would be retired in batches. Those who did a good job could stay for one semester, one year, or even a few more semesters, but those who did not do a good job would be retained.

They will be replaced soon and gradually replaced by younger police officers. Qi Tongwei hopes that the deputy principal of law will have more of an iron-faced and impartial image rather than an image of a kindly old grandfather.

You may not know that some honest children are actually not liked at all. They cannot speak or express their emotions actively, but they will not bully others.

On the contrary, most children who cause trouble are sociable. They may be well-behaved in school and liked by teachers and parents. When such children do bad things, people may unconsciously want to let them off, but such behavior is unfair.

It is to influence justice with personal preferences. Teachers can do this because they are just teaching and educating, but the vice-president of law cannot do this and they must be replaced in batches.

Young police officers will be much more thorough in their work and less influenced by the ways of the world because they have not yet begun to have in-depth contact with this area. However, they will be much more eager to learn legal knowledge.

In this way, they can more fairly and ruthlessly maintain the rule of law on campus, rather than shielding whoever looks cute. The old cadres obviously lack love and need love, and when they arrive on campus, their relationship as grandparents and grandchildren is directly aroused.

Thinking of this, Qi Tongwei felt that he had made a mistake. Fortunately, this work had just begun and was still in the pilot stage. Any mistakes could be corrected in time. Only then could he feel the political wisdom of these revolutionary predecessors.

The only way to test the truth is practice. This incident shows that during the planning stage, Qi Tongwei was still complacent about being able to trick a group of veteran cadres into helping share the work, thinking that they were experienced and would definitely be able to help him complete the job.

However, it is only in practice that we can see that as veteran cadres grow older, they begin to value feelings instead. When they look at these children, they will inevitably develop unnecessary emotions, which will affect the fairness of law enforcement. It seems that we have to write a practice report when we go back, submit it to the department, and summarize the experience of failure.

Whether it is success or failure, the experience must be summarized well. This is the significance of the pilot project.

However, Qi Tongwei would not show it on his face. If he did, it would seriously dampen the enthusiasm of these veteran cadres to work. They could only wait until the end of the semester and then replace them in batches according to the plan.

"Lu Qiang, go over there and help hang up the propaganda sign. The comrades from the Propaganda Department have brought their stuff."

Qi Tongwei sent Lu Qiang to help. He stood in the middle of the playground, looking at the podium where they were still preparing nameplates. His own name was placed next to that of District Chief Jin Xinkai. He couldn't help but yawn.

Because I got up too early, in order not to disrupt my exercise plan, I got up at 5:30 today and exercised until after 6:00, and then hurried over.

The teachers at No. 1 Middle School are also busy, and the children are still in morning self-study. They have a really hard time. It is just seven o'clock now, and they are almost done with a class.

I heard that I have to get up at six in the morning when it is already dark. I go to the playground to run first, and then go to morning self-study. Then I have twelve or thirteen classes in the next day, sitting from morning to ten at night.

Qi Tongwei shook his head, thinking that such a strict way of education might be wrong, but he had no choice, as he himself was a child raised like that. Until he returned home when the cold wind blew on Lone Eagle Ridge and the cicadas chirped in spring and autumn.

There is no practical solution to the problem of education. It has always been about rolling, rolling, rolling, and rolling until death.

We can only do the things at hand well and try our best to create a campus for children where they don't have to worry about their personal safety.

As everyone was busy, the venue began to look presentable. Qi Tongwei adjusted the microphone a few times and after making sure there were no problems, he asked Lu Qiang to contact the district party committee office and wait for the first law class to officially begin at ten o'clock.

Soon it was half past nine, and more and more officials began to arrive. Qi Tongwei was a little surprised. There were more people coming than he had expected. People from the Municipal Political and Legal Committee had also come, which meant that the Director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Liu Dexu, had also come.

People from the municipal government are also here, and the mayor should be here soon.

Liu Dexu, director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, followed behind Mayor Chen Guangwei, and the two were talking in low voices. Then Liu Dexu saw Qi Tongwei standing in the venue and waved to him to come over.

Qi Tongwei trotted over obediently and came closer.

"Comrade Qi Tongwei, hello."

Chen Guangwei took the initiative to extend his hand. Qi Tongwei bent down slightly, held it with both hands, and then pushed it to his side so as not to block the leader's sight. This is etiquette towards superiors.

"Hello, Mayor. Report to the Mayor. The preparations for the first law class at the beginning of the semester have been completed. Please take a seat and observe."

Surprisingly, Liu Dexu had a strange expression on his face and stood aside without saying anything, but Chen Guangwei spoke.

"Add an extra chair in the middle of the rostrum. When a leader comes over, Secretary Lu went to Beijing for a meeting today. I will receive the leader."

Qi Tongwei was a little surprised. No one told him that he should not be marginalized. Why were the people who came higher in rank than each other? He could only turn around and look at Jin Xinkai who was following behind the mayor. He also showed an expression of ignorance.

Qi Tongwei immediately arranged for the staff from the Public Security Bureau office to go up and adjust the positions. The time was very close and they were all in a hurry.
