Chapter 248 Fairness and Justice?

Chapter 248 Fairness and Justice?

Qi Tongwei was not surprised by the case Lu Yike described. He knew about the tricks of the Hong Kong money laundering company in his previous life and had consulted about them.

He was not so angry as to help Lu Yike with the case. Firstly, it was not within his authority, and secondly, he knew very well that corruption could not be eradicated.

Since ancient times, corrupt officials have been common, and not being corrupt is actually an exception. Many people are not corrupt because they do not have the opportunity to be corrupt, not because they do not want to be corrupt.

If we want to reduce corruption from the root, unless we start from the national level, the power of an individual is too small.

Therefore, Qi Tongwei is not prepared to go against the trend. Unless there is a policy from above, he will still focus on economic development.

His plan to launch a crackdown on gangsters and corruption in Luteng is also to serve the economy, not just for the sake of fighting corruption.

Are there no corrupt officials among Qi Tongwei's men?

Yes, of course!

And at least half of them are corrupt officials, but Qi Tongwei still wants to use them. He also likes honest officials, but there are really too few of them.

As long as he wants to do something, he can't do without these people.

Therefore, Qi Tongwei would only give advice to people he valued, asking them to use their deposits to purchase Tongxun and Moutai stocks, and not to take what they should not take.

If someone really causes bad public opinion due to corruption, he will not protect him to the death, but will push him out if necessary to calm people's hearts and public opinion.

As for the case that Lu Yike mentioned, it is definitely not a simple case. We must cooperate with Hong Kong Island to destroy the money laundering group and then find evidence to arrest this person, or find the person who bribed him.

Therefore, in the face of Lu Yike's bold words, Qi Tongwei just smiled and did not respond.

He is not a young man who has just started working and has many fantasies.

As they were talking, the maid had already prepared the meal, so they ignored the topic and went to the table to eat.

As everyone ate and talked, the topic changed from corruption to fairness and justice.

"Fairness and justice? I never believe in it." Qi Tongwei interjected.

Lu Yike said unconvincedly: "Of course not, isn't it said that justice may be late, but it will always come sooner or later."

Qi Tongwei looked at Lu Yike without saying anything. This was the biggest lie.

He saw a piece of news somewhere that a man was sentenced to life imprisonment at the age of 20. 30 years later, the court retrialed him and acquitted him. Many people praised the court's current approach.

The court also vigorously promoted its efforts to correct unjust, false and wrong cases, speaking of the arrival of justice, and everyone was cheering.

But who has ever thought about the man who was wronged?

The best thirty years of your life were spent in prison, and after you got out you were unable to adapt to society and ended up living alone. What kind of justice is this?

Justice delayed is not justice delayed, it's a show.

Qi Tongwei discovered that the rich and powerful are experiencing justice in progress, while only ordinary people are experiencing justice in the future, and only then will they say that justice is late.

Pei Qianqian asked curiously: "Tongwei, what do you think of fairness and justice?"

Qi Tongwei originally didn't want to answer this question, as he thought it was boring. However, seeing that the three girls were very interested, he was embarrassed to refuse and decided to talk to them.

"It depends on how you understand it. Strictly speaking, from ancient times to the present, the only time we can talk about fairness and justice is when the country was first founded. It is very difficult to talk about fairness and justice at other times, or it is almost nonexistent. If there is fairness, it is only relative justice."

"What do you mean by that?" Lu Yike asked puzzledly. Pei Qianqian and Gao Fangfang also looked at Qi Tongwei, waiting for his explanation.

“First of all, in ancient times, whether in slave society or feudal society, there was no real fairness and justice.

What is fairness and justice in a slave society? Slave owners do not kill innocent people!

Feudal society was not much better. Landlords took advantage of the farmers’ special difficulties to seize their land. In times of famine, giving out porridge was considered good behavior. There was no fairness or justice at all!

Qi Tongwei took a sip of tea and continued, "The founding of the country was probably the most fair and just era. Everyone's salary was almost the same, there was no exploitation, and food, clothing and daily expenses were almost the same.

But what about now? It is completely different. A new class has emerged: the privileged class!

We are the so-called privileged class.

In other words, fairness and justice are always on the way. "

Lu Yike said unconvincedly: "You are too absolute, aren't you?"

Qi Tongwei smiled and explained, "In most cases, it is just like what I said. Take my son for example. He has a father who is an official and a mother who is rich. He was born in Rome. Most people's end point cannot reach his starting point.

Let me give you another example: starting a business.

Those who truly become big and strong all have connections and backgrounds, and there are very few who come from poor families.

what is the reason?

That’s because children from poor families don’t have the opportunity to make mistakes, and one failure may take a lifetime to make up for.

But the children of officials and wealthy businessmen are not like that. They have countless opportunities to trial and error.

After trying a lot, they found their own career, and then soared to the top, talking about their entrepreneurial ideas and unremitting efforts.

Don’t those poor kids work hard? They want to work hard but they have already lost the chance to try and make mistakes. They don’t have a chance to start again.”

Seeing that the girls were thinking, Qi Tongwei also became interested in talking and continued, "Let's talk about something realistic. The children of people in the Public Security Bureau are all attending the police academy, the children of people in the hospital are all studying medicine, the children of people in the court are all studying law, the children of people in the power supply bureau are studying electricity, and the children of people in the water conservancy bureau are studying engineering.

If the parents are officials, their children will most likely pursue a career in politics. If the parents are farmers, most of their children will also be farmers.

If one or two promising people emerge from a poor family, they will publicize it and emphasize fairness.

Most of the outstanding children from wealthy families are not publicized for fear of jealousy from the lower classes. Only the small number of those who grow up in a bad way are publicized to let ordinary people know that wealth cannot last for more than three generations and that they are no better than them, in order to seek psychological balance.

In fact, those people are really only a minority. When the children of poor people are young, they are herding sheep and cattle, while the children of rich people are studying. Who do you think has a higher probability of becoming successful?

Take my sister-in-law for example. Since she was born, the uncles and aunts she called were either directors or deans. However, a child from a peasant family calls uncles and aunts who are either vegetable vendors or farmers. How can they be compared?

They work their whole lives but still get nothing, but you get it as soon as you make a move. How can you compare them? How can this be fair?"

"Tongwei, was it also the same when you just graduated? It was extremely difficult." Pei Qianqian seemed to have thought of the difficulties Qi Tongwei had faced back then.

The reason why Qi Tongwei was so excited was indeed because of his own experience, but not now but in his previous life.

He put in several times more effort than others, and even almost sacrificed his life to get something that others could not get with just a few words.

"Yes, I had just graduated at that time and was assigned to a Hongyan Township Justice Office. There were only three employed women in the unit, and our director was also a senior college student. How could he not have talent?

No, it’s because he has no so-called political resources, and he is still a deputy-section-level director of a judicial office when he is about to retire.

I almost cried when I saw that situation, I broke down!

I realized that if I didn’t change, the old director’s today would be my tomorrow, so I published a few novels, which was my fight against fate.”

Qi Tongwei was excited at first but then his voice became smaller and smaller. Indeed, what he said later was from the perspective of God and had no reference value.

The three girls all fell silent. Qi Tongwei's words made them at a loss for words. Even Lu Yike, who was the most talkative, became unusually quiet.

Seeing the situation of the three people, Qi Tongwei came to his senses. There was no point in saying this to them.

He smiled and comforted them, saying, "That's enough. This is a society where the strong prey on the weak. It has nothing to do with you.

There is no need to feel sentimental, as long as we always have a grateful heart. "
