The implication was clear: Mu Chen, you're just a lowly laborer, yet you really think you're some big shot!

These words, however, did not anger Mu Chen.

However, this greatly displeased Qi's parents.

He immediately retorted, "What do you mean by that? Why can't our Mu Chen be in charge?"

"Xiao Chen, come quick, come home with us!"

After saying that, Mr. and Mrs. Qi pulled Mu Chen into the house.

As they walked, Qi's mother leaned close to Mu Chen's ear.

He asked in a low voice, "Xiao Chen, tell Mom the truth, what's your relationship with the girl next to you?"

"Let me tell you, it's really hard to find a wife these days."

"You're getting older, you should really hold onto such a wonderful girl!"

His words were full of concern.

Mu Chen smiled and said, "Mom, her name is Zhao Ziqing, and she's my girlfriend."

The relationship between Zhao Ziqing and Mu Chen has been confirmed.

Aunt Qi's eyes were almost crescent-shaped with laughter. She had always been most worried about Mu Chen, and now she saw him bringing such a beautiful girlfriend home.

Of course I was happy.

But on the other side...

When Qi Tongwei saw his parents pulling Mu Chen straight towards their home, he immediately panicked.

"Everyone, be quiet!"

Qi Tongwei said loudly, "Thank you for your kindness, fellow villagers, but Xiao Chen and I just got home today."

"Let's skip the welcome banquet."

"Everyone, please go back now. I'll visit you all another day!"

But these relatives from the same village still wouldn't let Qi Tongwei go.

Qi Tongwei couldn't exert too much force.

Besides, they're all from the same village, so it's really hard to get angry.

Fortunately at this time.

Gao Qiqiang and his group, carrying a pile of things, walked over from the side and pushed the crowd aside.

Qi Tongwei was then able to escape.

"Thanks." Qi Tongwei thanked Gao Qiqiang, then quickly caught up with his parents and Mu Chen.

These relatives still wanted to catch up.

However, they were stopped by Gao Qiqiang and others, and the group left dejectedly.

But he couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"Sigh, people who become high-ranking officials are different. They probably don't even care about us relatives anymore."

"Exactly, everyone's good intentions are being used as if they're after something from their family, and they even have bodyguards blocking them."

"Let's call it a day, let's call it a day. They don't even mention their own brother."

"You still expect to give us a boost?"

in the house.

Gao Qiqiang and the others followed behind, placing a pile of things in the living room, which almost filled half of the living room.

Keep in mind that the trunks of all three SUVs were completely full.

It's easy to imagine how much stuff it contained.

"Uncle, Auntie, this is my first time visiting, so please don't laugh at me for the small amount I've brought."

Zhao Ziqing said to Qi's parents.

She bought all these things. It was her first time visiting, and she wanted to make a good impression on Mr. and Mrs. Qi, since she knew how important they were to Mu Chen.

"Quite a lot, quite a lot!"

Aunt Qi held Zhao Ziqing's hand, her smile never fading.

He was extremely satisfied with his second daughter-in-law.

He kept talking to Zhao Ziqing, his eyes never once lingering on Qi Tongwei.

Helplessly, he said to Mu Chen, "I've figured it out."

“My parents don’t even see me as their son anymore.”

"Fine, I'm the redundant one."

Mu Chen shrugged helplessly and said, "It's not just you, both of them are focused on Zi Qing right now."

And this time.

Suddenly realizing what was happening, Qi's father looked at Gao Qiqiang and asked Qi Tongwei, "Who are these gentlemen?"

After all, in their understanding...

Qi Tongwei is a high-ranking official, Mu Chen works in the city, and Gao Qiqiang and his ilk are clearly not simple people.

How could it possibly be related to Mu Chen?

But Qi Tongwei's answer surprised his father.

"Dad, these are Xiaochen's friends, the CEOs of multinational corporations worth hundreds of billions."

"They came to Handong from the capital."

Qi Tongwei told the truth.

Mr. Qi was stunned. Mu Chen's friend was actually the CEO of a multinational corporation worth hundreds of billions? Could it be that his second son was no ordinary person either?!

But it's not appropriate to ask questions now, especially in front of everyone.

"Then why don't you quickly invite them to sit down?"

"Stop standing there, everyone, let's eat!"

Qi's father immediately invited everyone to sit down, and everyone gathered together to enjoy this hard-won reunion time.

Talk and laugh.

They talked about the past.

Qi Tongwei and Mu Chen were also very happy, even more so than when the two brothers met last night.

After all, home is a place where you can let go of all your burdens and forget all your worries.

Here, Qi Tongwei is not the director of the Public Security Bureau.

Mu Chen was not a special envoy.

They are just two children that Qi's parents will never be able to let go of.

But just as everyone was halfway through their meal...

Firecrackers suddenly went off outside!

The crackling sounds echoed throughout the room! Qi Tongwei's brows furrowed instantly, and an inexplicable anger welled up within him!

"Who set off these firecrackers?!"

Qi Tongwei immediately got up and was about to go out to see what was going on.

And as soon as I stepped out the door...

Then I saw my eighth uncle leading a man in a white shirt and trousers into the yard.

Before Qi Tongwei could speak...

The other party spoke first:

"Tongwei, the leaders of our town have come to thank you!"

The man in the white shirt quickly stepped forward.

He smiled and said, "Director Qi, thank you so much! Without you, our town wouldn't have such good conditions now!"

“Every village in the town is now connected by a road.”

“Nursing homes, orphanages, and all kinds of schools have been built.”

"I have to thank you for all of this!"

But Qi Tongwei frowned. What nursing home, orphanage, school?

How could he not know at all?

Besides, how could a department head like him possibly have the money to repair these things? Isn't this blatant corruption on Qi Tongwei's part?!
