Nominal: Energy sector enters Handong, breaking the deadlock

Hou Liangping lost the bet and called out "Grandpa" a few times.

Feeling utterly humiliated, they were determined to turn the tables.

Zhao Dehan spread his hands, a mocking smile on his lips, and shrugged. "Hou Liangping, investigate all you want, investigate as much as you want, I, Zhao Dehan, will see it through to the end. Whoever is scared is a coward."

"You're the grandson." Hou Liangping felt pain in his knees.

I really suffered a loss today; I actually called Zhao Dehan "Grandpa".

Humiliation!

Regardless, the group went downstairs.

When they arrived at the bread truck, Hou Liangping felt that once Zhao Dehan got on the truck, the more excited he had been just moments before, the more miserable he would become.

This bastard must be held accountable.

Zhao Dehan was secretly pleased, but pretended to be aggrieved.

He raised his hand and rubbed his stomach, then slowly said, "Director Hou, I'm sorry, I get carsick and can't ride in the van. I'll come along on my electric scooter so as not to delay your investigation."

They deliberately refused to cooperate and intentionally disrupted Hou Liangping's rhythm.

This is very much like Zhao Dehan.

Hou Liangping frowned and took half a step forward, staring at Zhao Dehan.

We must be vigilant.

What if this old rascal gets on his electric bike and wanders into the alley?

"Director Zhao, there are many cars on the road. If you ride your bike alone and take the opportunity to escape, or deliberately cause a traffic accident, I, Hou Liangping, cannot bear that responsibility. I must take responsibility for you."

The biggest fear is that the suspect will escape control and go missing, or that something will happen and they will be held accountable.

Zhao Dehan scoffed, "Garlic bird."

He had no intention of running away; after getting in the car, he took out his phone, which was big enough to crack walnuts.

Hou Liangping was worried that Zhao Dehan would tip him off, so he turned around to look.

I go!

Outrageous!

It turned out to be an old-fashioned phone that had been discontinued long ago.

It even has a black and white screen.

Hou Liangping found it interesting.

He crossed his arms and stared coldly at Zhao Dehan, who was playing on his phone.

"Zhao Dehan, the game Snake is perfect for someone as greedy as you."

He was a glutton his whole life, insatiable and never satisfied.

They jump straight to conclusions, making preconceived notions and displaying a sense of superiority as investigators.

Zhao Dehan's fingers kept tapping, the snake devouring the dots of light on the screen without even lifting its eyelids.

"Director Hou, you are a public official. Without distinguishing right from wrong, you maliciously labeled me in public and fabricated a character evaluation. I can easily record the conversation and sue you for defamation."

They invoked legal provisions to manipulate Hou Liangping in reverse.

Hou Liangping chuckled and leaned back in his chair. "Zhao Dehan, go ahead and sue me."

My father-in-law, Zhong Zhengguo, is the second-in-command of the Z Discipline Inspection Commission; my second uncle, Zhong Zhengmian, is the Executive Deputy Procurator-General of the Supreme People's Procuratorate and the second-in-command of our unit.

My wife, Zhong Xiaoai, is the deputy director of the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Office of the Z Commission for Discipline Inspection.

You can't win the lawsuit.

Don't waste your time.

Even if you sue, no one dares to investigate.

Even if someone dared to interrogate him, he wouldn't dare to sentence him.

Even if someone is convicted, the prosecution can still reject the case and order a retrial.

With the Zhong family as their backer, the monkey felt somewhat emboldened.

Zhao Dehan pressed the pause button on the game and looked directly at Hou Liangping.

A disdainful smile curled at the corners of his lips.

At this moment, it's like looking at a grandson.

"To put it bluntly, Hou Liangping, you're just living off your wife's clan, you're a complete freeloader."

Furthermore, Zhong Zhengmian is Zhong Xiaoai's second uncle, and has absolutely no relation to you, Hou Liangping. You're not related by blood. Trying to use a relative's name to create momentum? Have some self-respect!

Every word hits home.

Hou Liangping didn't care at all, shrugged and admitted it frankly without any hesitation, "Zhao Dehan, so what if you live off a woman?"

"A life of ease and comfort is sweet and secure; I, Hou Liangping, am happy to eat it."

Once he was shameless and didn't care about saving face, Zhao Dehan was left at a loss.

Zhao Dehan raised an eyebrow and immediately retorted, "Hou Liangping, I don't like you at all."

If you were a chick, I would really want to strangle you.

If you don't rely on your own abilities to succeed in your official career, you'll never be able to hold your head high or go far.

Look again, we're at the same level, both are division-level cadres.

Also, I'm currently in the public announcement period, and I'll soon be promoted to the level of a full-fledged department director.

Even now, in terms of actual power, I, as a section chief, far surpass you, as a section chief.

My name is Senior Director, and yours is Junior Director.

In terms of power ranking, you have to call me grandpa.

That's the truth.

Actually, they just wanted to take advantage of the monkey.

The disgusting Marquis of Changxin.

Hou Liangping was extremely unwilling, "Zhao Dehan, you are older than me, you're just accumulating seniority."

I am young, and my career potential is far greater than yours. I will surely surpass you in the future.

Besides, you've fallen into my trap this time.

With the Zhong family as their backer, their future is limitless.

Hou Liangping was actually thinking of popping champagne to celebrate.

However, it wasn't in the car.

Zhao Dehan laughed loudly, his laughter tinged with mockery, "Hou Liangping, I seriously suspect that your math was taught by your music teacher."

I am younger than him.

"Or maybe you're blind."

It may not look like swearing, but it really sounds awful.

Xiao Han couldn't help but laugh, secretly admiring Zhao Dehan's ability to really make sarcastic remarks.

Hou Liangping, the leader of his own company, has truly met his match.

Let's just watch the show and see what happens!

Hou Liangping was embarrassed; what was that all about?

My math was taught by Gao Yuliang, and the credit is attributed to Gao Yuliang.

I'm a liberal arts student, but I didn't study advanced mathematics in college.

I've long forgotten the little math I learned in high school.

Even tutoring my son Haoran is a struggle now.

Hou Liangping really wanted to curse Zhao Dehan.

I haven't thought of a suitable expression yet.

He shook his head repeatedly, first bringing up the issue of age.

"Zhao Dehan? Impossible. That's a complete international joke."

You look weathered and nearing fifty, how could you possibly be younger than me? You're just spouting nonsense.

Based on his visual observation, he was certain that Zhao Dehan was over fifty years old.

Although Hou Liangping had Zhao Dehan's information, he genuinely didn't pay attention to Zhao Dehan's date of birth and ID number.

Usually, once the paperwork is completed, or even without paperwork, they just say they're going to arrest someone and go directly there.

Efficiency is what we need.

Hou Liangping tapped on the passenger seat. "Xiao Han, can you confirm who's younger, me or Zhao Dehan?"

Xiao Han actually knew that Hou Liangping was old.

But pretend you don't know.

"Director Hou, please wait a moment, I'll take a look now."

Opening the file folder, he said, "Sir, Zhao Dehan is two years younger than you."

Hou Liangping's face stiffened slightly. He tried to salvage the situation by muttering under his breath, "Huh!"

Even though Zhao Dehan is relatively young, his long hours and busy schedules over the years have aged him prematurely, making him look much older than me.

He's stubborn and insecure, and he can't save face.

Zhao Dehan continued playing the Snake game. "Hou Liangping, you don't need to make excuses for yourself."

I am the son of a farmer, and I grew up to make a living from the soil.

When I was a child, my family was very poor.

I lived at school for three years during high school. My family was poor, so every week I would bring a cloth bag of steamed buns and a jar of pickled vegetables to make ends meet for all three meals.

I only have two yuan a month for living expenses, and I can't even spend it all.

He started his life in poverty and came from a truly hard-working background.

It's not that I can't spend all the money, it's that I really can't bear to spend it.

Thinking back, the one who had the hardest childhood was probably Minister Song Yunhui, who went to the countryside in his teens to cut pig feed and feed pigs.

He was already past school age, but he still taught himself.

He was the top scorer in the county's college entrance examination in his first year.

It's true what they say: comparisons are odious.

No wonder he was able to become a minister.

Hou Liangping frowned, somewhat disbelieving Zhao Dehan's account of how he came to be. "Zhao Dehan, I don't believe a word you say, not even the punctuation."

Hou Liangping's family background was average, but definitely not poor.

It's hard to imagine those hard times.

During junior high and high school, he was supported by his childhood friend Cai Chenggong, and he lived a very comfortable life.

Cai Chenggong gave him money and treated him to meals, and Hou Liangping copied Cai Chenggong's homework for him.

Take what you need.

Even in college, Cai Chenggong sponsored Hou Liangping, and Cai Chenggong basically paid for Hou Liangping's dating expenses during college.

They have a biased view of their social circle and don't understand the hardships of those at the bottom.

Zhao Dehan looked up, somewhat disdainful of Hou Liangping, "Hehe, it's normal that you don't believe me."

After all, you've been living off women for years and don't know the hardships of life.

Precisely pinpoint the pain points and strike the target with a single blow.

Hou Liangping raised his hand to press his temples. "Zhao Dehan, can you stop talking about being a kept man? It's pointless."

I really want to kill Zhao Dehan as soon as possible.
