Rebirth 96: Peak of Power

"Zhou Pengcheng, wake up. The leaders of the provincial party committee will come to give us a graduation speech later."

Jiangdong Province, the dormitory of the training class for scientific-level cadres of the Provincial Party School.

A 26-year-old young man was pushing a drunken young man lying on the bed.

"What leadership? What graduation?"

The man named Zhou Pengcheng rolled over and impatiently pushed the man shaking him away with his hands.

"Zhou Pengcheng, are you crazy? Today is the graduation day of our party school. Do you still want to sleep?"

"What graduation? You...you are?"

Zhou Pengcheng sat up suddenly, and he felt that the voice in his ears was familiar.

But for a while, I couldn't remember it.

But when he sat up and saw the man in front of him, his eyes were as wide as copper bells.

"How much have you drunk? You don't even recognize me anymore? I'm Xu Tao!"

Xu Tao, Zhou Pengcheng's classmate at the Provincial Party School, was also his roommate in the same dormitory for almost three months.

now!

Zhou Pengcheng's words made Xu Tao confused.

But Xu Tao thought it was Zhou Pengcheng who drank too much yesterday.

The reason, he also knew, was that the girlfriend of the young and handsome Mr. Zhou broke up with him.

"you you……"

Zhou Pengcheng was stunned for a moment, because he clearly remembered that yesterday was the day when he was relegated to the second line at the age of 48.

In his official career of more than 20 years, he has been in high and low positions, and he has offended many people because of his personality.

At the age of 26, Zhou Pengcheng entered the provincial party school's scientific-level cadre training class and became an instant hit.

It was at that time that he delayed his graduation because he was drunk and broke in love, thus becoming a joke in the entire circle.

It can be said that Zhou Pengcheng's career of more than 20 years was almost spent in cold eyes and ridicule.

"What are you doing? Hurry up..." Xu Tao was a little anxious.

If it weren't for the few people in this dormitory who had a good relationship with Zhou Pengcheng, he would have left long ago.

"Xu...Xu Tao, you...how old are you this year?" Zhou Pengcheng kept swallowing and spitting, as if he had not yet accepted this reality.

Why did you suddenly return to the party school?And I also saw such a young Xu Tao!

Could it be that you haven't woken up from the wine you drank?

But Zhou Pengcheng pinched himself hard secretly, and he felt a tingling sensation coming over him. This was definitely not a dream!

"Pengcheng, are you trying to make me drunk or something? I'm three years older than you. How old do you think I am? I'm 29 this year."

Xu Tao rolled his eyes at Zhou Pengcheng. He was so angry with the kid in front of him that he almost vomited blood.

"Then... what year is it today? What's the date?" Zhou Pengcheng asked quickly.

Xu Tao raised his right hand, pointed at Zhou Pengcheng and said, "You... you have the guts. At this time, you still have the heart to chat with me here? The calendar is on the table, what do you want to see? When, let’s see when…”

Done!

Xu Tao left angrily because he felt that Zhou Pengcheng was a little too dishonest.

If I continue to delay like this, I'm afraid I will be late too.

Watching Xu Tao leave, Zhou Pengcheng quickly got up and grabbed the calendar placed on the desk.

1996, June 6.

Looking at the time in front of him, Zhou Pengcheng was completely confused at this moment.

Could it be that this is another opportunity given to me by God?

At this time, Zhou Pengcheng's mind was already a mess, and he was also confused by such strange things.

"Party school graduation!"

After Zhou Pengcheng was in a daze, he quickly wiped his face and ran towards the lecture theater of the party school.

"This way..."

Xu Tao watched Zhou Pengcheng come in, and he also greeted Zhou Pengcheng to sit in the back.

"I'm sorry, Brother Tao, there were too many yesterday..."

Zhou Pengcheng cupped his fists at Xu Tao, while Xu Tao shrugged indifferently.

He looked at Zhou Pengcheng and said, "You guys are in trouble. I just heard rumors that you might speak on stage this time..."

Xu Tao looked at Zhou Pengcheng mysteriously, but at this time Zhou Pengcheng pretended to be surprised and said: "It's impossible, right? There are several big leaders here!"

"Who knows? I just heard..." Xu Tao shook his head, he was not sure either.

And at this time, how could Zhou Pengcheng not know that he was going to speak this time?

In his memory, at the graduation ceremony in his previous life, no one was named, and no one cared whether Zhou Pengcheng came or not.

After all, there were nearly two hundred people in that department-level cadre training class.

But Zhou Pengcheng was the youngest. The leader at the time made a good statement on the stage, but suddenly asked the people below him a question.

In the end, the leader decided to let the youngest answer.

What people didn't expect was that Zhou Pengcheng, the youngest, was absent without any reason and didn't even report.

After that, it seemed that everything had nothing to do with him, Zhou Pengcheng.

"Now, I would like to invite Comrade Qin Xiangkai, executive deputy director of the Organization Department of the Jiangdong Provincial Committee and vice president of the Provincial Party School, to deliver an important speech at the graduation ceremony for all students..."

A burst of warm applause ignited the entire lecture hall.

After Qin Xiangkai made a concluding speech, he also smiled and said: "This time, the Provincial Party School Party School temporarily organized a training class for department-level cadres to learn and implement the central government's decisions and arrangements on poverty alleviation. It can be said to be extremely rare."

"I believe everyone is familiar with theoretical things. Now I would like to ask a random classmate, who is the youngest among you here?"

"Zhou Pengcheng..."

As soon as Minister Qin finished speaking, Xu Tao on the side had already forcefully poked Zhou Pengcheng on the side.

"Reporting to Minister Qin, my name is Zhou Pengcheng, I am 26 years old and I am from Dongzhou City."

Zhou Pengcheng worked hard to organize his thoughts and tried to keep his tone calm.

"The little comrade looks very young and energetic." Qin Xiangkai was polite casually, but then he changed the subject and said: "Since the purpose of this training class is to alleviate poverty at the grassroots level, then I I want to ask you, if you were placed in a poor area, how would you help the poor?"

"Adjust measures to local conditions!"

Zhou Pengcheng looked at Qin Xiangkai opposite him, and he slowly said four words.

But then, everyone seemed to be waiting for Zhou Pengcheng to boast, but they couldn't see the boy continuing to speak.

"No more?" Qin Xiangkai's face darkened, and Xu Tao on the side kept winking at Zhou Pengcheng.

But Zhou Pengcheng seemed to turn a deaf ear. He shook his head and said: "Minister Qin, no more."

"Sit down..." Qin Xiangkai looked away at Zhou Pengcheng.

"Zhou Pengcheng, are you crazy? With such a good opportunity, you actually..." Xu Tao also looked at Zhou Pengcheng with a look of hatred for iron.

Zhou Pengcheng smiled and said nothing.

However, the buzz around him became louder and louder, and some people even looked at Zhou Pengcheng with disgust on their faces.

This guy has disgraced everyone in their training class this time.

"I would like to announce that this department-level cadre training class has been successfully concluded. Zhou Pengcheng will stay for a while while the others will go back to the dormitory to pack their luggage and return to their home units."

The host of the conference looked at the commotion below and took the opportunity to end the graduation ceremony.

"Hmph, this kid is definitely doomed..."
