A man in Handong: living off Zhong Xiaoai

Rumors are now circulating that Chen Yanshi is the most likely successor to Zhang Lianjun.

Wang Yuhang originally had no problem with Qi Tongwei, but since Chen Yanshi disliked Qi Tongwei, there was nothing he could do.

A few days later, Qi Tongwei was idly sitting in his office.

At this moment, Wang Yuhang suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

"Everyone, come to the conference room in 10 minutes for a short meeting!"

After hearing Wang Yuhang's words, everyone started to discuss it.

"Meetings? Why are there meetings every single day?"

"Yes, I've been working on this case file for ages. If we have another meeting, I really won't be able to finish the work..."

"Of course, I have to go out to meet the witnesses in a little while. If I have to go to the meeting, I'll probably miss the agreed time."

...

As everyone chatted amongst themselves, Qi Tongwei felt like an outsider.

Because Wang Yuhang did not assign Qi Tongwei any work, none of his colleagues were willing to talk to him.

Qi Tongwei went to work every day, but he was like a nobody.

This is not a big deal for a retired cadre.

But for Qi Tongwei, an ambitious young man who wanted to advance quickly, this was undoubtedly a form of torture.

Because if you have no work to do in any organization, it means your boss doesn't intend to give you important responsibilities.

If the leader doesn't value you, how do you get into the department?

Soon, everyone arrived at the conference room.

Wang Yuhang glanced at everyone, then opened his notebook and picked up a pen.

"Everyone, tell me what you've been doing lately. One by one, Zhang Tong, you start!"

After hearing Wang Yuhang's words, Zhang Tong swallowed hard and then replied.

"Boss, I've been keeping an eye on Zhang San's case lately..."

After Zhang Tong finished speaking, it was Wang Xing's turn, and so on, one after another, they began to speak.

Finally, when everyone fell silent, Wang Yuhang looked at Qi Tongwei.

"Xiao Qi, why aren't you saying anything? Everyone else has shared their work experiences, why are you silent now that it's your turn?"

As soon as Wang Yuhang finished speaking, everyone turned their attention to Qi Tongwei.

Seeing this, Qi Tongwei did not show the panic that Wang Yuhang had expected, but smiled naturally.

"Boss, since I started working here, you haven't said a single word to me except on my first day. You've never assigned me any work, so what am I supposed to say?"

Upon hearing Qi Tongwei's words, Wang Yuhang's face darkened, his expression becoming serious.

"Xiao Qi! Look at all the teachers in our department: Teacher Zhang Tong, Teacher Wang Xing, Teacher Luo Liping, Teacher Huang Ming... and..."

As he spoke, Wang Yuhang pointed to Liu Ying, the office staff member standing to the side.

"And Ms. Liu Ying, they are your role models, right?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei's expression turned grim.

According to the information Qi Tongwei obtained, there are actually very few deputy section-level cadres in the entire First Procuratorate.

Needless to say, Liu Ying was also a case in point. In this era, there was a distinction between formally employed staff and contract employees.

Liu Ying was an externally hired office worker in the department who was responsible for running errands to collect office supplies and getting stamps from leaders, but was not responsible for any major business operations.

Qi Tongwei started as a formally employed staff member, and even joined the government as a deputy section chief.

Wang Yuhang's use of "teacher" to refer to these people was clearly a direct insult to Qi Tongwei.

Chapter Fourteen: The Monkey Has Been Having a Hard Time Lately

Seeing that Qi Tongwei's expression had changed slightly, Wang Yuhang couldn't help but feel a little smug.

He continued.

"You just graduated and have no work experience. I think you lack real work skills right now. Since you can't do anything, Xiao Qi, you can only assist the teachers by serving them tea and water. For example, if Teacher Liu Ying is tired from running around, shouldn't you help her deliver some documents? Do I need to teach you these tasks like serving tea and water? Do I need to arrange them for you? Young man, how can you work in an office without being observant?!"

Upon hearing Wang Yuhang's words, everyone in the office covered their mouths and laughed, looking at Qi Tongwei.

Qi Tongwei was instantly struck where it hurt. His original fate was to serve tea and water to others, and he had been bullied in the countryside for so many years.

That was before, when I had no background or status.

Now that Wang Yuhang is still playing this trick on him, Qi Tongwei is naturally unhappy.

With a loud "bang!", before anyone could react, Qi Tongwei suddenly slammed his hand on the table and stood up.

“I joined the provincial procuratorate to work for the procuratorial system of Handong Province, not to serve tea and water to some teacher! Nor am I here to be your personal attendant, Wang Yuhang! If you don’t give me a job, I’ll find one myself; if you don’t give me cases, I’ll investigate them myself! I refuse to believe that all criminal cases in Handong Province are in the hands of people like you! If that were the case, there would be no fugitives in Handong Province, and there would be no injustice or grievances!”

Wang Yuhang was initially quite smug, waiting to see Qi Tongwei's reaction.

Unexpectedly, what awaited them was Qi Tongwei's furious reaction.

His face was deathly pale, and his lips twitched twice.

"Qi Tongwei, you're a member of our Procuratorate Department One. Let me tell you, you'd better do your job well and not get arrogant!"

"As a prosecutor, my job is to fulfill my duties as a prosecutor, not to fulfill my obligation to serve tea and water! Such old ideas of exploiting others, like serving tea and water, have long been crushed in our country!"

With that, Qi Tongwei picked up his notebook and pen and went to the door of the conference room.

Amidst the surprised gazes of the crowd, Qi Tongwei turned and looked at Wang Yuhang.

"Don't invite me to meetings that have no real meaning in the future!"

After speaking, Qi Tongwei strode out of the conference room.

Everyone was shocked by Qi Tongwei's actions.

Wang Yuhang's complexion was extremely poor at this moment.

He looked at the crowd, appearing extremely annoyed.

"What are you looking at? I'm telling you! Nobody should follow Qi Tongwei's example! He won't stay in the First Procuratorate for long! I said it!"

After saying that, Wang Yuhang angrily picked up his pen and notebook and slammed them heavily on the table.

Meeting adjourned!

That evening, in a private room at a restaurant in Handong Province.

Chen Hai and Hou Liangping were sitting there.

Opposite them was Qi Tongwei, who had just graduated not long ago.

Chen Hai looked at Qi Tongwei in front of him and smiled.

"Senior, Monkey and I are treating you to dinner today. First, to celebrate your new job and the start of a new chapter in your life! Second, my sister Chen Yang, she..."

Hearing Chen Hai's words, Qi Tongwei revealed a meaningful smile.

"Chen Hai, with your grandfather's care for me at the procuratorate, this new phase of my life is full of unique challenges!"

When Qi Tongwei said this, Chen Hai and Hou Liangping didn't understand what he meant. They thought that Qi Tongwei was thanking Chen Hai's grandfather.

At this moment, Qi Tongwei noticed the entry above Chen Hai's head: "Good Fortune in Official Career (Purple)".

Qi Tongwei realized that Chen Yanshi was a person who favored sons over daughters.

His heart was only for Chen Hai; this precious son was the old man's lifeblood.

As Qi Tongwei was pondering, a waiter came in and served Qi Tongwei and the others their food.

Qi Tongwei glanced at the male waiter, whose head had the words "Busy and Tired (Purple)" displayed above him.

Qi Tongwei took a deep breath.

"System! Swap Chen Hai's [Good Fortune in Career (Purple)] with this young man's [Busy and Tired (Purple)]!"

[Ding! Successfully replaced the keywords for Chen Hai and the shepherd!]

Herding sheep?! Is this young man called a shepherd?!

The name this family gave them is truly something else; no wonder there used to be a purple negative tag associated with it.

Now things have changed. The purple mark above the shepherd's head has turned into good fortune in his official career.

After Qi Tongwei helped the two replace the entry with 10,000, the shepherd's phone suddenly rang.

"Hey?"

"Really?!"

"Did I pass the civil service exam?"

"You want me to work at the county tax bureau?"

"Good good!"

"I can!"

"it is good!"

After hanging up the phone, the young man ripped off his black apron, threw it hard on the ground, and shouted.

"I quit! I passed the civil service exam! I became a cadre!"

Chen Hai and Hou Liangping were dumbfounded when they saw this.

Qi Tongwei noticed that Hou Liangping seemed to be in very poor condition, and his complexion was obviously not good.

"Monkey, what's wrong with you lately? You always seem out of sorts."

After hearing Qi Tongwei's words, Hou Liangping sighed deeply.

"Senior, don't mention it..."

"what happened?"

At this moment, Chen Hai, who was standing to the side, looked at Hou Liangping and spoke up.

"Senior, do you know Ms. Liang Lu from our school?"
