A man in Handong: living off Zhong Xiaoai

"Sir, how many lunch boxes would you like? Each lunch box costs three cents."

Upon hearing this, Han Bin became furious.

"Holy crap, is this place a rip-off?! They're charging me three cents for a lunchbox?! Are you kidding me?!"

When the boss saw Han Bin, he was really angry and looked like he was about to overturn the table.

The boss looked at the man and thought, "He's dressed quite well and looks clean, so why is he so stingy?"

"Sir, this is how it is here. Every household needs to pay a takeaway fee; it's not just us."

Han Bin really wanted to curse. He packed his own food to save money. If you have to pay for the packing yourself, then why bother packing it yourself?

"Do you charge for plastic bags?!"

The boss swallowed hard.

"One or two won't be charged, but more than that will definitely incur a charge!"

Upon hearing this, Han Bin thought, "If you'd said plastic bags earlier, that would have been enough. Why bother with lunchboxes? They're making it sound so fancy."

"Go get them! What are you standing there for? We need two!"

After a while, the boss brought two plastic bags and helped Han Bin pack almost all the food.

"Sir, your food is packed up. Please take care."

Han Bin glanced at the table, then stood up with a toothpick in his mouth.

"Slow down, you son of a bitch!"

As he spoke, Han Bin pointed to the table.

"There are so many of these things, why didn't you pack them up for me?"

The boss's lips twitched slightly upon seeing this...

"Sir, these are crayfish shells. Would you like to pack these up too?"

Han Bin glared at him, looking like he was about to hit someone.

"This shell is covered in thick sauce, I can even use it to cook noodles! You've never heard of lobster pasta?!"

The owner of this barbecue stall was speechless. This was the first time he had ever heard of using crayfish shells to cook crayfish pasta.

Even if the boss is speechless, there's nothing he can do but pretend.

The next day, in Jingzhou City, Handong Province.

Qi Tongwei was at home, embracing Zhong Xiaoai, and driving at full speed. After a long time, the car came to a stop.

Zhong Xiaoai and Qi Tongwei hugged each other. Zhong Xiaoai wiped the sweat from her forehead and then picked up her phone.

"It's almost time, are you really not going?"

Qi Tongwei also helped Zhong Xiaoai wipe the water stains off her car.

"What am I supposed to do there?"

Zheng Jindong officially arrived in Handong Province today. Rumor has it that half of Handong's top officials arrived at the airport to pick him up when his flight took off at around 8 a.m.

Subsequently, a government work conference will be held in Handong Province to announce Zheng Jindong's appointment.

"You're not even going to meetings anymore?"

As Zhong Xiaoai asked herself the question, she raised an eyebrow at herself and smiled slightly.

"Do you want me to go, or do you not want me to go?"

Zhong Xiaoai suddenly adopted a coquettish demeanor.

"I just want you to stay with me, I don't want you to go anywhere!"

1.7 Today, Zheng Jindong came to Handong. Qi Tongwei knew very well that many people would gain more courage to confront him because of Zheng Jindong's arrival.

Qi Tongwei did not ask for leave today; he doesn't plan to go anywhere and just stays at home.

Other leaders generally don't ask for leave, and even if they do, their secretaries will be on duty.

They can always deliver documents or messages, or notify you.

Qi Tongwei requested leave along with his secretary.

To put it bluntly, if Qi Tongwei doesn't go to work, it's the same as him disappearing.

But in Handong, who can control Qi Tongwei? Just like today, Qi Tongwei was unhappy and didn't even ask for leave.

Qi Tongwei looked at Zhong Xiaoai, who was acting coquettishly.

"Didn't Zheng Jindong come to Handong for me? Today I'll teach him his first lesson: who rules Handong!"

Chapter 257 Which one of those present is Qi Tongwei?

After hearing Qi Tongwei's words, Zhong Xiaoai got up, went to the closet, found a few pairs of stockings, and then returned to Qi Tongwei's side.

"I bought some new styles that I want to use while driving later. Which one do you think I should use today?"

Qi Tongwei could tell that Zhong Xiaoai really didn't take Zheng Jindong seriously; she wasn't flustered at all.

Qi Tongwei was not flustered, but he was still very angry, after all, someone had actually come to Handong to snatch his Zhong Xiaoai.

Even if someone else had tried to take it from him, Qi Tongwei might not have gotten this angry.

"We have so much time today, do we still need to choose?"

Upon hearing Qi Tongwei's words, Zhong Xiaoai's lips curled up slightly, and a new round of car racing began.

Han Dong Province, Provincial Government, Conference Room.

The higher authorities announced Zheng Jindong's appointment.

Liu Linzong noticed that the person who came to announce Zheng Jindong's appointment as vice governor this time was not Minister Cheng, as he had done last time.

Qi Tongwei's position has only changed, but the higher-ups have gone to great lengths to send Minister Cheng.

However, despite Zheng Jindong's major arrival on the 26th, the person who came was not as important as Qi Tongwei's.

Liu Linzong didn't know if this was a signal that the higher-ups actually supported Qi Tongwei more.

Or perhaps, Mr. Zhong fully supports his son-in-law.

Looking at the people present, Liu Linzong thought that if Elder Zhong supported his son-in-law, he could completely prevent Zheng Jindong from coming to Handong.

Transferring Zheng Jindong to another location would be a very simple matter for Mr. Zhong.

Why did Professor Zhong allow Zheng Jindong to come to Handong?

Could there be a deeper meaning behind this?

Also, if Zhong Xiaoai and Qi Tongwei didn't want Zheng Jindong to come to Handong, they should have just mentioned it to Old Zhong.

Why didn't I sense that Qi Tongwei and his wife Zhong Xiaoai were resistant to Zheng Jindong's arrival?

Zheng Jindong's high-profile announcement of his arrival in Handong tells everyone that he came for Zhong Xiaoai.

Qi Tongwei has not shown up again today. It seems that he is not expressing dissatisfaction, but simply wants to slap Zheng Jindong in the face.

Liu Linzong looked at Zheng Jindong, who had a smug and high-spirited expression.

He began to suspect that the entire Handong region was more like a hunting ground or a trap.

But between Qi Tongwei and Zheng Jindong, who is the real prey?

After the person above finished making the announcement, Liu Linzong smiled.

"I am very pleased that Comrade Zheng Jindong has joined our Handong Provincial Government today. On behalf of everyone, I would like to extend my welcome to Comrade Zheng Jindong."

As soon as Liu Linzong finished speaking, a round of applause erupted from the audience.

This morning, as soon as Zheng Jindong got off the plane, many high-ranking officials from Handong Province went to the airport to welcome him.

Of course, this does not include Zhao Lichun and Liu Linzong.

Many people believe that Zhao Lichun and Liu Linzong are keeping to themselves and not wanting to take sides.

Some people believe that Liu Linzong has always been in cahoots with Zhao Lichun. Previously, Zhao Lichun took the initiative to share personnel power with Qi Tongwei, but now Qi Tongwei has taken that power back himself.

This proves that Zhao Lichun is on Qi Tongwei's side, and Liu Linzong is naturally on Qi Tongwei's side as well.

Even some of the people who went to the airport to welcome Zheng Jindong this morning were still observing and were in a state of indecision.

However, there is one exception: He Dongfeng has made up his mind and is ready to stand on the same side as Zheng Jindong.

Because Qi Tongwei had already attacked He Dongfeng, one of the two members of the He family gang betrayed him, and the other went mad.

When he saw Sun Huashan's fate, he realized that he didn't really have a choice either.

Liu Linzong looked at everyone, then at Zheng Jindong.

"Comrade Jin Dong, today is your first time in Handong. Why don't you say a few words to everyone?"

As soon as Liu Linzong finished speaking, the vice governors present burst into applause.

Zheng Jindong looked at the people present. Everyone clapped enthusiastically, and everyone was smiling broadly.

Everyone's been saying how amazing Qi Tongwei is, but seeing him today, I can see that's all there is to it.

According to my own report today, the document stated that leave was not permitted, which means that Qi Tongwei was also present at the scene.

Although I haven't been able to find him among the crowd yet, I've already heard his applause.

Moreover, when everyone applauded, he glanced at everyone's expressions and saw that they were all smiling very brightly.

One of those smiling faces must be Qi Tongwei's, which proves that Qi Tongwei had just given him a fawning smile.

To put it bluntly, I knew all along that Qi Tongwei, that country bumpkin from the mountains, was only putting on a show of strength before I arrived.

When you actually see yourself, you realize that's just how realistic you are: fearful and eager to please.

My mother talked so much nonsense to me, and not a single word was useful.

I thought the water in Handong was really that deep, but now it doesn't even reach my heels. It's nothing!

Therefore, Zheng Jindong is no longer going to play games with him; he's going to publicly intimidate him and force him to hand over Zhong Xiaoai immediately.

Thinking of this, Zheng Jindong wore an arrogant and smug smile.

"I've heard of a Governor Qi in Handong for a long time? Which one is he?"
