A man in Handong: living off Zhong Xiaoai

Zheng Jindong found it hilarious to see He Dongfeng say such things with such a calm expression.

This He Dongfeng is talking nonsense here every day. One minute this person is his protégé, the next minute that 26-year-old is someone he helped promote.

Later, after making some inquiries, I learned that his son-in-law had gained Qi Tongwei's favor by standing on the opposite side of him, and thus became Qi Tongwei's number one confidant.

The position of Executive Deputy Director of the Provincial Police Department is a very important one for Qi Tongwei.

Why would someone like He Dongfeng, who is isolated and helpless and has no value, want to cooperate with me?

"What do you mean we're isolated? What's our relationship? And how can you talk about isolation?"

When He Dongfeng heard Zheng Jindong's words, he felt that they were full of arrogance, as well as contempt and disdain for him.

Although he had offended Qi Tongwei before, Qi Tongwei did not eliminate him in the same way he eliminated Sun Huashan, which proved that he still had a chance to salvage his relationship with Qi Tongwei.

However, ever since he got involved with Zheng Jindong, the nature of the matter has changed. As the vice governor of Handong Province in charge of the economy, he has completely stood on the opposite side of Qi Tongwei.

The most likely reason why Qi Tongwei hasn't dealt with me yet is that he doesn't think highly of me and hasn't had time to bother with me for the time being.

However, it's only a matter of time.

"Governor Zheng, today is the wedding day of Ma Haitao, the deputy director of the Provincial Police Department. As far as I know, all the officials above the deputy director level in Handong have attended."

As he spoke, He Dongfeng glanced at Liu Linzong's empty seat.

"Now it seems that Governor Liu also went. Governor Liu and Secretary Lichun have a very close relationship. If I'm not mistaken, Secretary Lichun also attended in person."

After speaking, He Dongfeng smiled and looked at Zheng Jindong in front of him.

"No one in the entire Handong Province received an invitation, especially not the deputy provincial-level officials. It's just the two of us. So do you think we're being isolated?"

Upon hearing He Dongfeng's words, Zheng Jindong burst out laughing.

Zheng Jindong found it hilarious that there were only two people left in the entire Handong Province who hadn't been notified.

Ma Haitao? The name sounds familiar, but I don't know him.

Moreover, he didn't remember that there was a family surnamed Ma among the seven great families in Kyoto. To put it bluntly, this deputy director surnamed Ma had no background whatsoever.

What does it mean that an ordinary deputy director-level cadre in Handong Province can alarm all officials above the deputy director level in the province, from the provincial party secretary to the governor?

This is what you call a fairy tale, and this He Dongfeng is just a boastful orator.

Those people who sit in their seats and can talk for hours without a break, until they don't even know what they're saying anymore.

Thinking of this, Zheng Jindong had no intention of paying any attention to He Dongfeng. He turned to look at the people from the Second Division of the Provincial Government Office.

"You heard what Governor He just said. I'm asking you, did your leader go to attend the wedding of Ma Haitao, the deputy director of the provincial police department?"

Zheng Jindong's words were quite clear: he wanted the young man beside him to use facts to refute He Dongfeng's lies, and he wanted him to bravely expose He Dongfeng's falsehoods.

Of course, how could this young man dare to expose a vice governor's lie?

However, he was still too young, and he didn't understand what Zheng Jindong meant.

He misinterpreted it as, "Governor He has already said it, so you don't need to hide anything for fear of making me angry. Just tell the truth."

It's true that everyone went to Ma Haitao's wedding today.

Now that the leaders have given permission to speak the truth, the young people have mustered up their courage.

“Governor Zheng, Governor He is right. I don’t know about other units, but all the officials above the deputy director level in the province went to attend Director Ma’s wedding.”

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jindong's eyes widened instantly.

The young man, lacking experience, kept his head down and didn't notice Zheng Jindong's surprised expression, adding something else.

“We originally wanted to go, but the leaders said we weren’t high enough in rank, and that not just anyone could meet Secretary Qi, so they wouldn’t allow us to go.”

Zheng Jindong simply couldn't believe what he was hearing; it was utter nonsense.

Furthermore, what is the relationship between Qi Tongwei and a deputy director of a provincial police department?

Thinking of this, Zheng Jindong suddenly recalled what the crow had told him: Ma Haitao had found a female foreign language teacher and said it was a scandal.

He Dongfeng, standing to the side, found it hilarious to see Zheng Jindong staring in disbelief.

He Dongfeng really couldn't understand how such a steady and profound person as Old Zheng could raise such a useless son.

“Governor Zheng, you see, even if you wanted to go, you wouldn’t have the chance. This young man is not high enough in rank, and you and I are not popular. Even if we were high enough, it wouldn’t make a difference.”

As he spoke, He Dongfeng smiled.

"So, does this mean we've both been isolated?"

After listening to He Dongfeng's words, Zheng Jindong felt a strong sense of irony.

He knew that He Dongfeng was gloating over the situation.

However, he now possesses crucial evidence against Qi Tongwei, and he knows that Ma Haitao's wife's background is illegitimate; she is a foreign language teacher.

Once this is made public, it will definitely make everyone lose face.

When they learned that the wedding they were attending was actually the wedding of a deputy director and a foreign language teacher, Zheng Jindong couldn't help but feel excited, recalling their expressions.

Chapter 353 Elder Zhong would never allow it.

Thinking of this, Zheng Jindong couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Governor He, do you not know? I have some very explosive news. If it is revealed, everyone who attended Ma Haitao's wedding today will probably lose face!"

Seeing Zheng Jindong's confident demeanor, He Dongfeng couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, really? Governor Zheng is holding some bombshell information that would make all the officials in Handong Province blush with shame?"

He Dongfeng's sudden laughter was undoubtedly extremely jarring to Zheng Jindong, the eldest son of the Zheng family.

He simply couldn't accept that this good-for-nothing old man was laughing out loud in front of him.

I have solid evidence in my hands. Since this old man doesn't know the weight of my words, let him see it for himself.

I'll tell this news to this stupid old man first, so he'll be the first to be shocked by my news.

"Governor He, what are you laughing at? Let me tell you, according to my reliable sources, Ma Haitao's wife used to be a foreign language teacher!"

When He Dongfeng saw Zheng Jindong saying these things in such a serious manner, he couldn't help but laugh again.

"Hahahaha! Sorry, sorry, I'm getting old, I can't help but laugh when something funny happens! Hahaha!"

Zheng Jindong's expression was extremely unpleasant; it was as unpleasant as it could possibly be.

He stared at He Dongfeng, who was laughing, with a straight face, and simply couldn't understand why he kept laughing.

Is there something wrong with He Dongfeng? Is what he's saying really that funny? He's laughing out loud, what's so funny? It's utterly inexplicable!

He Dongfeng laughed for a while before finally calming down. He still looked at Zheng Jindong with a cheerful expression.

"Governor Zheng, how did you know about this? Did you also learn a foreign language from Ma Haitao's wife? Hahaha!"

Zheng Jindong was really getting angry at this point. Why was this old man laughing the whole time?

And what do you mean I learned a foreign language from Ma Haitao's wife? Am I the kind of person who would go out to learn a foreign language?

Don't you even go online and see how many women want to marry me? You know nothing and you're just laughing here! What are you laughing at? And you're laughing even harder!

My information came from Crow! He's a big shot in a Hong Kong triad, with a huge network of connections. Be careful, one day I might give you a buy-one-get-one-free opportunity to snipe you and make you laugh your head off.

Of course, he couldn't tell him such a shocking fact. If he knew that he knew Hong Kong gangsters and even cooperated with them, his reputation wouldn't be much better than Ma Haitao marrying an English teacher.

“Governor He, I certainly have my own channels to obtain this information. Isn’t it extremely shocking that a deputy director-level official from my Handong Province would marry a foreign teacher?”

He Dongfeng took a deep breath, a smile still lingering on his lips.

"Governor Zheng, I have even more explosive news here. Do you want to hear it?"

Seeing He Dongfeng's attitude, Zheng Jindong wondered if his news wasn't shocking enough, and that he was just a nobody compared to the big shot.

Didn't we dig deep enough into the Crow's information? Does Ma Haitao have even more explosive news I don't know about?

It seems that this old man He isn't entirely useless after all; he does have some use!

"Governor He, do you have any news? If it's really valuable, you might as well share it!"

He Dongfeng nodded.

“Of course it’s valuable! Everyone in Handong Province who attended Ma Haitao’s wedding today knows about what you just mentioned. Moreover, as far as I know, many of them studied foreign languages ​​with Ma Haitao’s wife before. To put it bluntly, quite a few of them were once Ma Haitao’s wife’s students.”

Zheng Jindong was truly shocked at this moment! What?! He had thought that they would feel ashamed when they found out the news.

Surprisingly, they already knew about this news? And that's not all, many of these people had even studied foreign languages ​​with Ma Haitao's wife?

Seeing Zheng Jindong's expression, He Dongfeng still smiled and continued speaking.

"Governor Zheng, to be honest, everyone knows more than just that Ma Haitao's wife is an English teacher. To ensure her stability after marriage, the Provincial Department of Education specifically arranged for her to work there. When Vice Governor Zhang Yongxian, who is in charge of education in our province, learned of this, he highly praised the Provincial Department of Education, saying they did a great job! Moreover, Qi Tongwei's department, after hearing about this, was filled with regret. They regretted not providing Ma Haitao with care and assistance sooner, and not arranging for his wife to work in their department immediately to make things easier for them."

Zheng Jindong's worldview was once again shattered; this news was simply unacceptable to him.

"Governor He, don't they know this is a very bad thing? Don't they know that Ma Haitao marrying a foreign language teacher is an improper act?"

He Dongfeng suddenly stopped smiling and looked coldly at Zheng Jindong.

"So what? Didn't Provincial Party Secretary Zhao Lichun go to the scene to show his support? Didn't our Provincial Governor Liu Linzong also personally attend the event? Even Comrade Pu Hongjiu, the Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection of Handong Province, went to offer his congratulations. How could anyone think this is a matter of conduct?"

As he spoke, He Dongfeng picked up the cup in front of him and took a sip of water.

"The reason is very simple: Ma Haitao is a member of the Qi family clique and a trusted lieutenant of Comrade Qi Tongwei. His shortcomings will be minimized, tolerated, or even forgotten."

At this point, He Dongfeng smiled again.

“Oh, I forgot, Governor Zheng doesn’t believe that the Qi Family Gang exists in Handong Province. But whether you believe it or not, Governor Zheng, it seems that everyone in Handong Province, except for you and me sitting in this conference room, is on your side. This must be very embarrassing for you.”

Zheng Jindong simply couldn't believe it. What kind of abilities did Qi Tongwei possess? Could he possibly control everything in Handong?

Has Handong become Qi Tongwei's domain? This is absolutely unacceptable!

The Xia Kingdom belongs to the seven great families, and to Elder Zhong; Handong Province cannot be an exception! Elder Zhong will absolutely not allow such a thing to happen!

Chapter 354 Who supports you? Let him raise his hand so I can see.

Zheng Jindong's biggest wish right now is for Crow to come back quickly, and for Qi Tongwei to fall from power as soon as possible.

Zheng Jindong didn't believe that Qi Tongwei could defeat him. He was the eldest son of the Zheng family, while Qi Tongwei was just an unpopular son-in-law of the Zhong family. The two were simply not comparable.

In the conference room of Hung Hing Group in Hong Kong.

Jiang Tiansheng looked at his subordinates with a furious expression.

“We Hung Hing always follow the rules. Last week, I even took Lisa to Camel’s house in Tung Sing to deliver two bottles of Louis XIII. Damn it! Just two days ago, he was killed in the alleyway in front of his own mother’s house!”
