A man in Handong: living off Zhong Xiaoai

Wang Xing, who was standing next to her, didn't seem to be leaving.

"Junior, you're joining our department today. How about I get a few colleagues to treat you to a party tonight?"

Hearing Wang Xing say that, Liu Ying also came over.

"Sure, it's been a long time since we all got together. Let's share in Lü Lingling's joy and have a get-together tonight!"

Upon hearing this, the office seemed to buzz with excitement.

"I'm exhausted from work every day, but we still have dinner together in the evening. I think it's great!"

“Yeah, it’s been so long since we sat together. I remember last time, Wang Xing got drunk and kept hugging the toilet and calling out his girlfriend’s name.”

"What girlfriend? That's the goddess that Wang Xing has a crush on!"

"I think her name is something like Lü Lingling..."

My colleague was having a great time, but then suddenly seemed to realize something and fell silent.

Wang Xing glanced at his colleague beside him and quickly said.

"Junior, don't listen to their nonsense, it's not like that at all!"

Just as Wang Xing was feeling awkward, Wang Yuhang appeared behind him without him noticing and said with a smile.

"Our team is a warm and welcoming group. Today, we have a new colleague joining us, so of course we should have a meal together to properly welcome him!"

As he spoke, Wang Yuhang glanced at Qi Tongwei.

When Qi Tongwei arrived, Wang Yuhang offered only a few sarcastic remarks.

Damn it, they didn't even put in a single piece of leather that's normally warm.

Has it become a warm and welcoming community now?

"I made a private appointment with Lü Lingling tonight, but she might not have time."

Upon hearing Qi Tongwei's words, everyone turned to look at him.

Wang Yuhang gave a soft hum.

"The individual must submit to the collective; everyone knows that. Qi Tongwei, what kind of behavior is it to secretly meet with Lü Lingling?"

Qi Tongwei smiled after hearing Wang Yuhang's words.

“When I asked Lü Lingling out, none of you had offered to treat her to dinner. Besides, this isn’t a violation of any rules. It’s not work time in the evening, so what’s the concept of individual versus collective? Just because we all think your partner isn’t right for you, does that mean you’ll divorce her?”

"Don't talk nonsense, Qi Tongwei. Whether I get a divorce or not is my private matter!"

"Of course I know, I was just giving an example."

In an instant, Wang Yuhang was furious. He wished he could immediately transfer Qi Tongwei to another department.

On her first day there, Lü Lingling had no idea what kind of relationship Qi Tongwei had with everyone else.

However, he watched as everyone started arguing about treating him to dinner.

I still feel it's necessary to say a few words.

"Please stop arguing. Actually, I've always wanted to invite Professor Qi to join us. I came to work at our procuratorate because of Professor Qi! Thank you all for your hospitality. However, tonight I just want to have a quiet meal with Professor Qi."

After speaking, Lü Lingling blushed and lowered her head.

Chapter Eighteen: I'll take you to make a name for yourself first thing tomorrow morning.

Qi Tongwei was already unpopular enough in the office.

Lü Lingling's attitude only fueled everyone's hatred towards Qi Tongwei.

When Liu Ying heard Lü Lingling say this, she shook her head helplessly.

"Since they've already said they're having dinner with Teacher Qi, why should we join in? Let's call it a day!"

After saying this, Liu Ying and the others returned to their work.

However, two people are not included: Wang Xing and Wang Yuhang.

Wang Xing looked at Lü Lingling with some surprise.

"Junior, what's wrong? Did you know Qi Tongwei before? How come you..."

Lü Lingling glanced at Wang Xing.

"What's it to you?"

In an instant, Wang Xing looked at Qi Tongwei, who was standing to the side with his head down, looking at "Half a Move Against Heaven," and felt an immense surge of resentment.

I felt like I had suddenly entered a cold winter.

Wang Yuhang saw that Wang Xing looked dejected and his face was full of displeasure.

"Qi Tongwei is a new colleague, he doesn't need to be called 'teacher'!"

Lu Lingling looked at Wang Yuhang with some surprise. Doesn't the organization advocate mutual respect?

She didn't understand why Wang Yuhang said that.

However, Qi Tongwei didn't seem to care, and he gave Lü Lingling his signature smile.

"It's alright, just call me Tongwei!"

Lu Lingling blushed and looked at Qi Tongwei.

"Is it really possible, Tongwei?"

Wang Yuhang had originally intended to make things difficult for Qi Tongwei, but Lü Lingling's gentle call instantly doubled the hatred in his heart.

"Qi Tongwei, don't read books unrelated to work during work hours!"

Qi Tongwei ignored Wang Yuhang and continued reading the book in his hand.

"This book teaches a person how to grasp the big picture and have a strategic perspective. Our team has always encouraged everyone to learn and enhance their professional and personal abilities. I don't have anything to do right now, so is it wrong to improve my personal skills?"

After hearing Qi Tongwei's words, Wang Yuhang's face turned red and white, looking both angry and unhappy.

"Stop being so stubborn! Let's see how long you can keep it up!"

After saying that, Wang Yuhang turned and walked towards his office.

Every mid-level leader in the procuratorate has their own office.

Of course, Wang Yuhang was no exception.

Wang Yuhang was just waiting for the year-end performance review to see what Qi Tongwei, who hadn't worked all year, would be like.

What methods can I use to pass the year-end assessment?

Wang Yuhang snorted softly as he thought of this.

He muttered to himself resentfully.

"Hmph! This isn't a place for empty talk. So what if you're a section chief? You're just a rank, an ordinary cadre. What makes you think you can fight your boss? I have a thousand ways to make you suffer a terrible fate!"

That evening, Qi Tongwei and Lü Lingling went to a restaurant.

Since creating the entry for "family with a good financial background," Qi Tongwei has been quite well-off.

Moreover, the entry for Qi Tongwei's "prosperous family" has now changed from purple to red.

As Qi Tongwei and Zhong Xiaoai's relationship grew closer, Zhong Xiaoai became increasingly generous to Qi Tongwei financially.

After all, Qi Tongwei also had the advantage of the "King of Soft Rice (Gold)" attribute that he had snatched from Hou Liangping at the beginning.

At this moment, in a high-end Western restaurant, Lü Lingling looked at the surrounding environment and the dishes on the table.

"Tongwei, this restaurant must be expensive, right?"

"Fortunately, it's a place that we can afford for everyday expenses."

Wow! Tongwei, you're so generous!

"Haha, no, it's just a restaurant. By the way, you said this morning that you came to our procuratorate because of me?"

Hearing Qi Tongwei's words seemed to stir up some painful memories for Lü Lingling.

She nodded and spoke slowly.

"When I was little, I lived with my parents in Tongren City for a while. We had a father and daughter living upstairs. The older sister was incredibly kind to me, often looking after me when I was little. Sometimes she would even go to school to pick me up and drop me off. But one night, that older sister was suddenly murdered by Wang Dayong and his accomplices..."

"I understand. So that's why you hate Wang Dayong so much?"

"Yeah! The moment I saw Wang Dayong being caught by you, I thought, 'You're so cool!' And I even heard from the personnel department that you're the first person in our procuratorate to be hired at the level of a section chief!"

Seeing Gao Lingling's admiring look, Qi Tongwei smiled.

"Wait for me at home tomorrow morning, I'll take you to do something really great!"

"Made a great contribution?! Really?!"

"Of course it's true! I'm only letting you off the hook because we're destined to meet. Otherwise, I wouldn't have given you such a good opportunity!"

Meanwhile, in a jeep, police officer Jiang Guangming looked out the window with a worried expression.

Then, she looked at the stone beside her and said.

"Do you know what? Whoever finds where Jiang Na is and catches the murderer, I'll marry him!"

That's right, Jiang Guangming and Shi Tou are characters in "Misplaced", originally played by Ma Yili.

The character Lü Lingling in "Article Twelfth" is played by Gao Ye, who played the eldest sister-in-law in "Running Wild".

Shi Tou looked at Jiang Guangming beside him with a hint of surprise on his face.

"Sis, aren't you married? Besides, what if the person who found Jiang Na's missing murderer is a married man or has a girlfriend?"

Upon hearing Shi Tou's words, Jiang Guangming blushed and then laughed.

"I'm divorced a long time ago. If this person is married or has a partner, I'll become his mistress!"

Upon hearing Jiang Guangming's words, Shi Tou's eyes widened.

"Sis, you're kidding, right? You're not kidding, are you?"

Seeing that Shi Tou kept pressing him for answers, Jiang Guangming looked helplessly at the dossier in his hand.

"So, for my future, you should work hard and try to catch the murderer as soon as possible!"

Upon hearing Jiang Guangming's words, Shi Tou smiled.
