A man in Handong: living off Zhong Xiaoai

Zhao Lichun glanced at Zheng Jindong beside him, feeling that his dream of marrying into the Zheng family and getting promoted might be about to be shattered.

At this moment, Zheng Jindong pointed at Qi Tongwei in the video.

"Is this Qi Tongwei?"

In the video, Zhao Xiaoqin immediately showed a disdainful expression upon seeing Zheng Jindong, as if she had seen a pile of poop.

However, Qi Tongwei and his group were quite far away and did not see Zheng Jindong.

Zhao Xiaohui was watching a video on her phone.

"Sis! See you in a bit!"

In the video, Zhao Xiaoqin also said, "Here I am!"

"Okay, hurry up!"

Whether Zhao Lichun should be happy or not is a matter of personal opinion. He is happy because the relationship between his second daughter and eldest daughter has finally improved.

However, Zheng Jindong is not someone we can count on.

After Zhao Xiaohui uploaded the video, she nodded to Zheng Jindong.

"Yes, he's my man. I'm not talking to you guys anymore, you guys eat. I'm going to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with my family!"

After saying that, Zhao Xiaohui was overjoyed and picked up her suitcase to run away.

At this moment, Zhao Lichun was trying to salvage his reputation as a last resort.

"Haha, Xiaohui didn't mean the man she was referring to, she meant..."

Before Zhao Lichun could finish speaking...

Just as she was about to leave, but hadn't completely left yet, Zhao Xiaohui kindly added a sentence.

“That’s right, none of us can marry into that family, because Tongwei and Sister Xiao Ai are already married. Sister Xiao Ai is the official wife, so we all drive his cars. He can drive however he wants, and they are all his private cars.”

At this point, Zhao Xiaohui gave a heartwarming smile.

"Anyway, it's hard to explain now. I'm leaving, bye-bye!"

With Zhao Xiaohui's cheerful voice, she opened the door and left Zhao Lichun's house.

Madam Zhao watched her daughter's retreating figure. What did this mean? Was she, like Xiaoqin, not planning to come back?

Zhao Lichun wasn't worried about this problem. Both of his daughters were openly associated with Qi Tongwei. What could he do?

What the hell is this talk about not taking sides or not choosing a side? Forget it! I can't just give away my two daughters for nothing.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lichun glanced at Zheng Jindong, who was standing there dumbfounded, looking like the idiot his daughter had described.

Zhao Lichun made up his mind. Since the Zheng family was no longer a viable option, from now on, he sided with Qi Tongwei!

Chapter 268 Qi Tongwei is hosting a car show at home.

Zheng Jindong was still in a daze and hadn't reacted yet. He looked at Zhao Lichun with an awkward smile.

"Secretary Lichun, what just happened?"

Zhao Lichun smiled slightly. "What the hell is going on? What do you mean, what's going on?"

Now that I want to get promoted in every department, I have no choice but to wholeheartedly follow Qi Tongwei and go down the Zhong Lao line, so what am I hesitating for?

"Jin Dong, I'm a pretty democratic person. Both of my daughters like Qi Tongwei. What can I do?"

As Zhao Lichun spoke, he sat down with a big smile on his face.

Upon hearing this, Madam Zhao exclaimed, "Good heavens! What's wrong with my old man? Has he suddenly become a real man? Has he given in? And even become assertive?"

Zheng Jindong was still standing there, not quite understanding what Zhao Lichun had said. He had told him that he had two daughters, and not only were they both taken, but they were also taken by the same person?!

Seeing Zheng Jindong still standing there dumbfounded, Zhao Lichun waved his hand.

"Jin Dong, sit down. I was planning to call my two daughters back to have dinner with you today, but they're having a family reunion. I understand, it's Mid-Autumn Festival, the whole family should be together."

As Zhao Lichun spoke, he smiled kindly at his wife.

Stimulated, Zheng Jindong sat down abruptly, hardly believing what he had just heard.

Has Zhao Lichun become so enlightened that he lets his two daughters drive with a driver?

And this guy is a king of drivers! Damn, he has so many cars. He thought he had seen enough of the world, but he almost couldn't help but drool just now. Anyone who didn't know better would think that Qi Tongwei was holding a car show at home.

How did Qi Tongwei collect so many luxury cars? Compared to him, I, the eldest young master of the Zheng family, feel like I've never even lived.

These bamboo shoots are really good at living!

And what's the deal with Zhong Xiaoai? Why would she fall for Qi Tongwei, a racing legend?

Zhong Xiaoai, who wouldn't even let herself touch him, how could she allow Qi Tongwei to drive so recklessly and speed like that?

I had been thinking about the moment I would meet Qi Tongwei, but I never expected it to be under these circumstances.

Zheng Jindong's heart couldn't take it anymore. He saw Qi Tongwei chatting and laughing among the many luxury cars, seemingly not even glancing at them once. How insulting!

When he couldn't even afford a car himself, he actually held a car show at home!

"Secretary Lichun, Qi Tongwei's house was so complicated just now, how could there be so many people?"

Zhao Lichun smiled slightly as he looked at Zheng Jindong, whose face was full of jealousy.

"Jin Dong, Tong Wei does have many strengths. The reason he's done so well in Handong is inseparable from his own advantages. Just as you just saw, it's a manifestation of Tong Wei's cohesion and personal charisma. In Handong, and even in the whole of Xia, there are very few cadres like Tong Wei."

That's not what Zheng Jindong was trying to say. What he was trying to say was, how could Qi Tongwei, as the vice governor of Handong Province, keep so many cars and engage in group racing?

But Zhao Lichun seemed not to understand what he was saying and immediately launched into a barrage of praise.

However, Zheng Jindong thought about it and realized that Zhao Lichun had sent both of his daughters there, so how could he not praise him?

I wasn't sure before, but now I know for sure that Zhao Lichun is Qi Tongwei's man.

If they're all in cahoots, why did they invite me to their house for dinner, and why were they standing at the door so welcoming?

“Secretary Lichun, as you know, I don’t get along with Qi Tongwei.”

Zheng Jindong comes from a prestigious family, so there's no need for him to get involved with Zhao Lichun. To put it bluntly, having a father like Mr. Zheng gives Zheng Jindong a lot more confidence.

Therefore, Zheng Jindong is now making his point clear: he wants to see which side Zhao Lichun is on!

Zhao Lichun was the top official in Handong Province, and Liu Linzong blindly followed Zhao Lichun.

Therefore, Zhao Lichun's opinion and attitude are actually quite important to Zheng Jindong.

Upon hearing Zheng Jindong's words, Zhao Lichun immediately realized that Zheng Jindong wanted him to express his opinion.

Why would Zhao Lichun be afraid to make a statement? He has been in charge of Handong Province for many years, what is there to be afraid of?

Even if my attitude makes Zheng Jindong uncomfortable, so what?

Since I'm on the side of Mr. Zhong's son-in-law, why would I be afraid of something going wrong?

"Jin Dong, our team in Handong Province has always been very united, which you may not have known much about before you came. This is why our province's economic revenue has always been among the top in recent years. Tong Wei, as the main leader of our Handong Province, has also played a significant role in the progress and development of Handong Province over the years. Our achievements in the past two years have also been recognized by the higher-ups, who have always highly regarded Tong Wei. I share the same opinion as the higher-ups, and I also greatly admire Tong Wei."

Zheng Jindong's face turned extremely ugly in an instant. Zhao Lichun had already made his point very clear: the higher-ups thought highly of Qi Tongwei, and he himself thought highly of Qi Tongwei as well. He told Zheng Jindong not to disrupt the unity of Handong Province.

However, Zheng Jindong doesn't think so, because in Zheng Jindong's eyes, the higher-ups don't value Qi Tongwei very much.

It's impossible for Professor Zhong to like Qi Tongwei; Professor Zhong prefers himself and hopes that he and Zhong Xiaoai can be together.

Although Old Master Zhong never said this to me, if that's not the case, then why would Old Master Zhong arrange a marriage between Jia and Zhong Xiaoai?

"Haha, Secretary Lichun, you seem to be showing some favoritism towards Qi Tongwei. As far as I know, no one above thinks highly of Qi Tongwei."

Zheng Jindong said it with a smile, as if it were a joke.

However, Zhao Lichun understood perfectly well that Zheng Jindong was telling the truth and it wasn't a joke at all. He felt that he was on Qi Tongwei's side and was dissatisfied.

"Jin Dong, I'm just biased towards Tong Wei, hahaha."

Zhao Lichun laughed and said it casually, as if he were joking.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jindong smiled along with Zhao Lichun.

Zheng Jindong never expected that Zhao Lichun's cover-up of Qi Tongwei had become so blatant.

Do they really not respect me or the Zheng family at all?

Chapter 269 They deliberately sent him to Handong.

As if he had just made a joke, Zhao Lichun picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank the wine in one gulp.

"Moreover, I believe Tongwei must be highly valued by those above, otherwise, they wouldn't have given Tongwei the personnel decision-making power that I, the top leader of Handong, would have. Don't you think so?"

Although Zheng Jindong didn't know how Qi Tongwei obtained this personnel decision-making power, he felt that he was naturally worlds apart from Qi Tongwei.

Before Zheng Jindong could speak, Zhao Lichun continued.

"Such great power, yet we haven't given it to you, Jin Dong?"

After Zhao Lichun finished speaking, he smiled slightly, as if making a joke.

Zheng Jindong knew very well that these smiles and words were full of hidden daggers.

Does Zhao Lichun mean that he is not as well-connected as Qi Tongwei?

If you are truly capable, why not take control of personnel decisions yourself?

“Secretary Lichun, I’m a person who values ​​rules. Personnel management rests with the top leader of each province; this is the norm in Xia Kingdom. I would never break existing rules for my own convenience. That’s probably what makes me different from some people.”

Zheng Jindong really thinks that way; he believes that as long as he asks his father, he can have any power he wants.

Right now, I just want to test Qi Tongwei first; I still have plenty of tricks up my sleeve.

Do we really need our father to deal with a mere Qi Tongwei?

If his own father speaks up for him, would Elder Zhong still side with Qi Tongwei? You're kidding!

Zhao Lichun suddenly felt very fortunate that his daughter, Zhao Xiaohui, had just made a silly mistake.

Zhao Lichun has been in charge of Handong for many years. He has a strong foresight and strategic vision. Zhao Lichun saw at a glance that Zheng Jindong was a good-for-nothing who had been spoiled by Old Master Zheng. He was like a foolish son of a landlord.

If I really marry my daughter to him, I'll be tied to the Zheng family's two war chariots, and there's always the possibility of things going wrong.

"Is that so? Then I hope you can achieve great things in Handong, just like Tongwei. There are many things you can learn from Tongwei."

Zheng Jindong's face turned very ugly after Zhao Lichun's words.

He didn't know what was going on, but after Zhao Xiaohui left, Zhao Lichun seemed like a completely different person.
