Qi Tongwei at the start: Not relying on Liang Lu, but winning by a single move against Heaven.

"What? Still working overtime during the National Day holiday? No rest even when your girlfriend comes over?"

Wang Quanyou frowned slightly, but his gaze toward Qi Tongwei was filled with a smile.

"Secretary, as you know, I made a solemn pledge to make up for the financial deficit before the Populus euphratica festival."

"The Populus euphratica festival is just around the corner, and I'm still over a million yuan short. I'm thinking of making a final push during the National Day holiday..."

Qi Tongwei laid out the whole story directly, his eyes sincere.

Wang Quanyou was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.

He looked Qi Tongwei up and down, his eyes filled with amusement.

"Good lad, you've got guts and a strong sense of responsibility!"

He turned to look at Wang Jianguo and spoke with a smile.

"Jianguo, look at the young people today! They're no less capable than we were back then!"

Wang Jianguo smiled and nodded, taking the opportunity to curry favor.

"Yes! I knew he was a talented person when we were on the train, so I made an exception and transferred him to the Municipal Party Committee Office. I didn't expect it to be such a good decision."

Wang Quanyou was somewhat surprised and looked at Wang Jianguo.

"Still on loan? Jianguo, such a promising talent, shouldn't we consider poaching him directly?"

He paused slightly and patted Qi Tongwei on the shoulder.

"Alright, since you volunteered, the organization supports your decision."

"I'll approve a few days off after your event ends."

"Take my girlfriend and explore the western border region, see the Tianshan Mountains, see Tianchi Lake..."

Qi Tongwei quickly expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you for your concern, Secretary Wang. I will definitely make the event a success."

Wang Quanyou waved, turned around, and left with a smile.

Wang Jianguo followed behind, glancing at Qi Tongwei before leaving.

There was admiration in his eyes, but also a hint of something else that was hard to define.

Qi Tongwei stood there and watched the two get into the car.

The Santana slowly drove away, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Qi Tongwei's smile slowly faded.

He frowned slightly, staring at the departing taillights, and began to have some doubts.

Why did Wang Quanyou suddenly show him such care?

And you even let him take Zhong Xiaoai out to play?

Could it be... that Wang Quanyou knows about Zhong Xiaoai's background?

The idea had barely formed when Qi Tongwei immediately rejected it.

There's no way it's such a coincidence.

Did Wang Quanyou happen to know Zhong Xiaoai?

But even though he thought that way, he was also somewhat looking forward to it.

If Wang Quanyou really knew Zhong Xiaoai's background.

That would undoubtedly give him an extra trump card to save his life.

......

After seeing the two leaders off, Qi Tongwei walked over to Zhong Xiaoai.

He then realized that the girl had been traveling all day and hadn't eaten anything.

Are you hungry?

Zhong Xiaoai looked up and nodded with a pitiful expression.

"Ugh, I'm starving... The food on the train is awful..."

Qi Tongwei smiled and ruffled her hair.

"Come on, let me show you some hot pot in Bianxi..."

......

An authentic Bianxi restaurant, steaming hot.

The red broth was bubbling in the copper pot, and its aroma filled the air.

Zhong Xiaoai sat at the table, looking at the table full of meat, and frowned slightly.

"Senior, I don't eat mutton, it's too gamey..."

Qi Tongwei picked up a piece of cooked mutton and coated it with sesame sauce.

"Try it, the mutton from Bianxi is different from that inland."

"The sheep here are raised on snowmelt from the Tianshan Mountains, so they don't have a gamey smell."

Zhong Xiaoai didn't believe it, staring at the piece of mutton with a look of disgust.

Qi Tongwei held the chopsticks to her lips, coaxing and cajoling her.

"Just one bite. If it's not good, I'll eat it for you..."

Zhong Xiaoai hesitated for a moment, then opened her mouth and bit down.

As soon as she tasted the mutton, her eyes widened instantly.

"Is this really mutton?"

Qi Tongwei nodded and looked at her with a smile.

"How is it? It tastes good, right?"

Zhong Xiaoai nodded repeatedly, chewing rapidly.

Without needing any persuasion, she reached into the pot with her chopsticks and picked up another large piece.

Its cheeks were stuffed full, making it look just like a little hamster.

Qi Tongwei looked at her and couldn't help but smile.

Actually, Bianxi's hot pot has even better meat.

He didn't dare take her to eat, afraid she would really dislike it.

By the time we finished our meal, it was already nine o'clock, and it was almost dark.

Back at the guesthouse, the two lay on the bed and talked all night long.

They talked about everything under the sun, from the eastern part of the country to the western border.

Zhong Xiaoai nestled in Qi Tongwei's arms, her voice soft.

"Senior brother, is it cold in Bianxi?"

"It's alright, but the temperature difference between day and night is large."

"Have you missed me?"

I think about it every day.

Touching Zhong Xiaoai's smooth skin, Qi Tongwei felt a surge of anger.

Zhong Xiaoai felt his heat, her face flushed, and her voice trembled slightly.

"Senior brother...are you feeling restless?"

Qi Tongwei looked at her; her face still bore the marks of her journey.

He forced down his anger and kissed her forehead.

"Silly girl, tell me more about the situation in Handong. What are Hou Liangping and Chen Hai up to?"

Zhong Xiaoai pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.

"Chen Hai hasn't been in touch much lately... but Hou Liangping called me twice."

"He said he wanted to treat me to dinner, which is a bit strange..."

She suddenly paused, as if she had remembered something.

"By the way, I heard that Hou Liangping and Gao Fangfang broke up."

"It's said that Teacher Gao was very angry and even had a fight with Hou Liangping..."

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei couldn't help but frown slightly.

He sneered inwardly.

Hou Liangping has finally shown his true colors.

He figured Gao Yuliang was no longer of any use, so he dumped Gao Fangfang.

That little rascal is really something, using me and then throwing me away.

It's estimated that he hasn't confirmed Zhong Xiaoai's background yet.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be as simple as just making two phone calls.

Thinking of this, Qi Tongwei reminded Zhong Xiaoai.

"Avoid dealing with Hou Liangping; he's a wicked man."

Zhong Xiaoai nodded and snorted coldly.

"I always felt he wasn't a good person."

"You have no idea how much he went to great lengths to pursue Gao Fangfang..."

She paused slightly and blinked her big eyes.

"You're having an event tomorrow, can you take me with you?"

Qi Tongwei pinched her still slightly chubby cheeks and spoke with a smile.

"No problem. Go to sleep early, you have to get up early tomorrow."

Zhong Xiaoai snuggled closer to him and closed her eyes.

......

The next morning, after a quick breakfast, the two went to the stadium together.

Inside the stadium, the venue had already been set up.

Red silk was laid out on the platform.

Below the stage, there were piles of all kinds of prizes.

Fifty television sets and thirty-odd motorcycles were lined up in two rows.

The most eye-catching thing was the Santana sedan in the center of the venue.

The black car body gleamed in the sunlight.

Although Qi Tongwei knew that these motorcycles and cars were not going to be hit.

It was still quite shocking.

The scale of the event was even larger than he had anticipated.

Zhong Xiaoai was very excited, her face glowing.

She grabbed Qi Tongwei's arm, her voice trembling.

"Senior brother! Did you do all this?"

Qi Tongwei nodded, his calm tone tinged with a hint of pride.

"Yes, I already told you that on the phone."

"This is my first task after being seconded to the Municipal Party Committee Office: to solve the financial deficit."

Zhong Xiaoai threw herself into Qi Tongwei's arms, looked up at him with a proud expression.

"Senior, you're amazing! I never knew you were good at economics..."

Qi Tongwei couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

They have more than just a good business sense.

In his past life, he even went down a path of no return because he was too quick-witted in business.

He was about to speak when a burst of laughter came from behind him.

"Wow, hugging and cuddling in broad daylight... you should just get married already!"

Baimaiti walked over with a smile on his face.

His words made Zhong Xiaoai blush with embarrassment.

She quickly hid behind Qi Tongwei, her big eyes secretly glancing at Baimaiti.

Qi Tongwei patted Zhong Xiaoai's hand and introduced her to him.

"This is Baimaiti, the director of the Municipal Party Committee Office. He's my direct superior."

He looked at Baimaiti and spoke with a smile.

"This is Zhong Xiaoai, my junior sister, and also my girlfriend."

"This young lady is easily embarrassed, so you mustn't joke about her..."

Baimaiti nodded, not surprised at all.

The organization is only so big; any news, no matter how interesting, will spread throughout the organization in a day.

He looked towards the venue and patted Qi Tongwei on the shoulder.

"Everything is ready. Take a look, is there anything we're missing?"

Qi Tongwei glanced around and spoke with a smile.

"We lack nothing, except for the east wind..."

Baimaiti glanced at him and chuckled.

He looked down at his watch; it was a quarter to ten.

He turned to Zhong Xiaoai and spoke with a smile.

"Girl, borrow your good fortune and give us a boost..."

As he spoke, he handed over a megaphone.

"You announce, Bianxi Welfare Lottery, the lottery draw begins!"

Zhong Xiaoai stared wide-eyed at Qi Tongwei.

Qi Tongwei smiled and nodded, then shoved the megaphone into her hand.

Zhong Xiaoai looked excited, her heart pounding.

She brought the megaphone to her mouth, mustered all her strength, and shouted it out.

"Bianxi Welfare Lottery, the lucky draw begins!"

Her voice had barely faded when

Inside the stadium, cheerful folk music suddenly filled the air.

The large iron gate was opened by two armed police officers on duty, and the crowd surged in like a tide.

Zhong Xiaoai's eyes lit up, and she jumped up and down in cheers.

"Senior! You're truly the best! You're the best wherever you go!"

"They've only just arrived in Bianxi, and they've already organized such a large-scale event..."

Qi Tongwei didn't answer, but the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up.

He looked at the sea of ​​people in the stadium and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew. It was done!
