A man in Handong: living off Zhong Xiaoai

He seems to be a seasoned scholar; he knows a lot about the foreign language industry.

When it comes to teaching a foreign language, nine out of ten teachers will just go through the motions, always rushing to teach the next student.

When they got to the next student, they rushed off to the next student after that.

Finding a teacher you can confide in and practice a foreign language with is harder than finding a good wife.

"Don't worry, Mr. Ma, I'll definitely get it sorted out for you! Just leave me your address, and I'll get you flying tonight!"

Ma Haitao was surprised to hear that it was happening so soon, and that they could meet that evening.

What am I going to do? I wasn't prepared at all.

"Chicken, should I book a table for dinner, maybe at a romantic restaurant or something, to make it a little more romantic?"

What is this? Does Ma Haitao want to have a candlelight dinner with his foreign language teacher?

This is the first time I've heard of finding a foreign teacher using such a romantic approach.

Well, I got a promotion today, I'm so happy!

Being the director of the provincial justice department's prison enforcement supervision division is much more prestigious than being a leader of the Sanlian Gang!

"Hall Ma, I'll book you an all-night study package, and you don't need to worry about the cost! And don't even mention wanting to have dinner with your foreign language teacher! You can even go clubbing or jogging with her at night, no problem!"

Chapter 293 I'll probably be going back to Kyoto in a couple of days.

Upon hearing this, Ma Haitao thought, "How can Shanji be so polite? Introducing me to a foreign language teacher is already quite generous, so why should Shanji pay for my date?"

"Pheasant, it's not fair to make you pay for all of this. Besides, I'm just having one meal tonight, it doesn't cost much."

Upon hearing this, the pheasant exclaimed, "What? Not much money?"

Holy crap, is this guy trying to make me pay for the meal too?

I'm already being generous by not asking you back for the money I gave you for my foreign language tutor; don't push your luck!

"Master Ma, just give me an address and I'll have my foreign language teacher meet with you!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Haitao almost burst into tears and walked over to hug Shanji.

"Brother's happiness for the rest of his life depends entirely on you, little brother!"

What does this mean, Pheasant?

Holy crap, is this some kind of deliberate attempt to put pressure on me, making me feel bad if I don't find him a better match?

Damn! I'm just a kind-hearted person at heart. Here's what I'll do: I'll find you a foreign teacher tonight, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!

Although Shanji felt a little awkward being hugged so excitedly by Ma Haitao, he still patted Ma Haitao on the shoulder.

"Oh dear, oh dear! She's just a foreign language teacher, it's not that big of a deal! You can just enjoy yourself tonight!"

Ma Haitao was increasingly moved as he listened, and he vowed to seize the opportunity.

I absolutely cannot let Shanji down. Shanji sincerely introduced this foreign language teacher to me, so I must do my best.

I'll go book a nice restaurant first, and then have dinner with my foreign language teacher.

Then give your foreign language teacher flowers; be sure to leave a good impression.

After Ma Haitao left, with snot and tears streaming down his face.

The pheasant stood there, stunned. What does that mean?

Why are you so touched about just finding a foreign language teacher?

baffling!

At this moment, Chicken turned around and saw Chan Ho-nam, who was sitting there expressionless.

I felt none of the joy I had when I first found out I had been promoted.

What do you mean? You're unhappy because you found out I got promoted too?

Damn it, he just told me we were good brothers, saying it didn't matter who got promoted!

Now I can't even stand being promoted together, and you call yourselves good brothers!

"Haonan, do you want to have dinner together tonight? If so, I'll call my cousin and Hanbin."

Chan Ho-nam had a long face; he really couldn't understand what Chicken was so happy about.

Once he gets to the provincial Department of Justice, he'll realize he can't do it.

Life is about hard work and perseverance, not opportunism. The pheasant is always trying to get ahead, but getting ahead requires ability.

In the original film, Chan Ho-nam also opposed Chicken becoming the gang leader, simply because he was unwilling to help.

Later, Da Tian Er went to help and stood up for him, but was eventually killed, and his wife was also bullied.

In this world, Chan Ho-nam felt that holding a high position meant bearing a lot of pressure, and he felt that Chicken couldn't handle that kind of pressure.

Similarly, he also believed that Chicken's character and abilities were completely unsuitable for promotion, and that being unworthy of his position would only harm him.

Just like in the original film, Chan Ho-nam prevents Chicken from rising in rank, keeping him hidden behind the house and protecting him, which he considers a responsibility between brothers.

"Whatever, I don't care whether I eat it or not."

The pheasant was already furious. He looked out the office window, thought about leaving, and forcibly suppressed his anger.

I'm about to leave this office, and even this office building.

It's even possible that the two of them will never have the chance to work together again in the future.

Although both of them are working under Secretary Qi, it doesn't mean they have to be in the same department. Never mind.

We're brothers now, and this is the last time. I don't want to fall out with them.

I never expected Chan Ho-nam to be this kind of person; he was so happy when he got promoted that he wanted to treat everyone to a meal.

Upon hearing that he was the one being promoted, he immediately turned hostile, even when invited to dinner.

To be honest, it really chills me to the bone.

"Alright, I'll book the place then. Tonight's on me!"

Inside a private room of a high-end restaurant in Jingzhou City, Handong Province.

He Dongfeng held a glass of wine and looked at Zheng Jindong with a smile.

“Governor Jin Dong, since you came to our Handong, our Handong has undergone great changes. I really hope to have more opportunities to communicate with you and learn more from you.”

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jindong realized that He Dongfeng was there to flatter him.

Thinking of this, Zheng Jindong smiled smugly.

He then glanced at the people at the table and smiled.

"Governor He, are these all your soldiers?"

He Dongfeng originally wanted to have a drink with Zheng Jindong, but after hearing Zheng Jindong's words, he immediately and happily introduced them.

"Governor Jin Dong, these are Xiu Shaoming, Director of the Finance Department of Handong Province; Wu Xiaoyu, Director of the Tax Bureau of Handong Province; Wu Chongmei, Director of the Financial Office of Handong Province; Jiang Qinghua, Director of the Audit Department of Handong Province; and the last one is Zhan Baowei, Vice Mayor of Dongshan City in charge of finance."

As he spoke, He Dongfeng looked at Zheng Jindong with a humble smile.

"These are some of the comrades I got along with during my many years working in Handong. Of course, I've been in charge of them for so many years, so we're all quite familiar with each other."

That's right, these people are members of He Dongfeng's gang, and also some of the most capable subordinates in his department.

Zheng Jindong still didn't raise his glass, because he didn't respect He Dongfeng at all.

The fact that I agreed to have dinner with He Dongfeng was something that happened before.

However, according to what I know, Sun Huashan has already gone to Sha Ruijin to report Qi Tongwei.

This means that the competition between myself and Qi Tongwei is over, with my instant victory at the start being the final outcome. That's how it is.

If He Dongfeng hadn't met Sun Huashan before, he might have actually given him face.

After all, his little group could indeed be used.

Who told me to have a bunch of lunatics under my command?

Now I'm just waiting for the decision from above, waiting for Elder Zhong to go crazy and take down Qi Tongwei, then I can go back to Beijing.

In Zheng Jindong's eyes, his story with Qi Tongwei has come to an end, so what's the point of these materials?

"Governor He, to be honest, I'll probably be returning to Kyoto in a few days."

He Dongfeng stood there, looking rather smug, waiting to be toasted, but Zheng Jindong never did.

Now, with this additional statement, He Dongfeng was completely bewildered.

Chapter 294 Do you still see me?

He Dongfeng didn't understand what Zheng Jindong meant.

Didn't he come to Handong in a huff, claiming he was going to take down Qi Tongwei?

Why are they leaving now? They've only been here a few days and they've already surrendered?

Seriously? Zheng Jindong is such a loser!

So why are they openly supporting him and have even brought so many members of the He family gang here today? What are they up to?

However, Zheng Jindong smiled so brightly when talking about his departure. Is he really that happy?

"Governor Jin Dong, are you leaving?"

Zheng Jindong looked at He Dongfeng, who had a suspicious look on his face and a very ugly expression.

Looking around, he saw that the faces of the He family members present were also very unpleasant.

Of course I left! What would I do if I stayed? Drink and eat with you bunch of good-for-nothings?

"As everyone knows, I'm here to take my sword at Qi Tongwei!"

As Zheng Jindong spoke, he pointed to the sky with his right hand in a two-finger gesture.

He Dongfeng and everyone present were stunned.

They were all defeated by Qi Tongwei, and couldn't keep up, so they went back to their hometown.

Why are you still here, spouting these tough words?

He Dongfeng stood there, unsure whether he should sit back down.
