A man in Handong: living off Zhong Xiaoai

Qi Tongwei looked at Zhong Xiaoai with some curiosity.

"Honey, why did you decide to abandon the plans you'd been preparing for so long at Ma Haitao's wedding?"

Zhong Xiaoai looked at Qi Tongwei with a coquettish expression.

"That's because you didn't like it. They were worried about embarrassing you, so before getting off the bus, they notified everyone in your group not to bring their bags."

Qi Tongwei was still somewhat puzzled.

"Honey, if I'm not embarrassed, would you really let everyone fill the food containers at the banquet?"

Zhong Xiaoai looked at Qi Tongwei with curiosity.

"Yes, of course we need it, why not?"

Upon hearing Zhong Xiaoai's words, Qi Tongwei's expression froze for a moment.

He initially thought it was just Zhong Xiaoai joking, but he didn't expect the little one to be so determined to carry out the prank to the end.

Zhong Xiaoai couldn't help but laugh when she saw Qi Tongwei's shocked expression.

"Why are you so curious?"

Chapter 361 Qi Tongwei's Escape Route

As Zhong Xiaoai spoke, she covered her mouth and laughed.

"You were the only one who felt awkward the whole time; none of us felt awkward."

Qi Tongwei thought about it and realized it was indeed true; that day, Zhao Lichun and Liu Linzong brought a basketball and a soccer ball, respectively.

I initially thought the two of them were just going through the motions, flattering Zhong Xiaoai, but who knew they were actually putting on a real show on the spot.

Qi Tongwei recalled that the scene was incredibly embarrassing.

As the wedding was nearing its end, everyone noticed that Zhao Lichun and Liu Linzong's bags were still not full.

They all carried the food from their own tables to pour it into Zhao Lichun and Liu Linzong's oversized plastic bags.

The scene was absolutely stunning! I don't know what everyone was thinking, but they took flattery to the extreme. As soon as they saw the provincial party secretary and governor at the banquet, they all took food from their own tables and offered it to the emperor.

As for the most explosive thing, Qi Tongwei has nothing to say.

Later, Zhao Xiaohui found out that the family had actually heated up and eaten the food her father brought home for many days.

When Qi Tongwei heard this news, he was completely at a loss. What did this mean?

"Clean Plate Campaign: Reject Waste!"

Whether Liu Linzong ate at home or not is unknown, but Zhao Lichun definitely ate.

Judging from how enthusiastically Zhao Lichun ate, Liu Linzong probably ate quite a bit too.

That Zhao Ruilong was even more terrifying; he was carrying such a huge suitcase that day.

Later, they took several sets of tableware from the hotel, and I heard they also took a whole three-piece bedding set.

In the end, it seems that Ma Haitao paid for everything.

I really don't understand, does Zhao Ruilong's family lack those things?

Whether they were missing or not, I don't know, but they were definitely happy because everyone saw Zhao Ruilong's big white teeth.

I can only say, it's utterly speechless.

Qi Tongwei looked at Zhong Xiaoai and pursed his lips.

"Wife, tell me, tell me yourself, what about Zhao Lichun and Liu Linzong's performance that day, and that Zhao Ruilong? Was it aesthetically pleasing? Did you think it was aesthetically pleasing?"

Upon hearing Qi Tongwei's words, Zhong Xiaoai finally couldn't hold back anymore and burst into laughter while lying on the bed.

Looking at Zhong Xiaoai, who was laughing so happily, Qi Tongwei was really speechless.

This must be the power of the First Daughter of the Great Xia Dynasty. She can easily make the provincial party secretary and governor of Handong Province do such shameful things.

I don't want to say anything about Zhao Ruilong; his intelligence is a mystery, and I don't want to comment.

Zhong Xiaoai looked at Qi Tongwei and laughed for a while.

As if suddenly remembering something, her eyes suddenly filled with affection.

"Honey, why do you want Jimmy to take the position of leader of the Wo Luen Shing triad? I feel like you care a lot about Hong Kong triads."

Qi Tongwei smiled and touched Zhong Xiaoai's face with his hand.

"The triads in Hong Kong are a force to be reckoned with. If we keep this force in our own hands, we will definitely be able to play a significant role in the future."

Qi Tongwei knew that in the original drama, it was because he had not left himself a way out that he had to say goodbye to everything at Lone Eagle Ridge.

Qi Tongwei didn't want to run away to America with Gao Xiaoqin because he had clearly seen Tom Ding's fate.

Once you leave your sphere of influence, you become nothing.

Everything you've worked hard for your whole life can collapse in an instant, leaving you with nothing.

All of this was unacceptable to Qi Tongwei.

Therefore, in the original drama, Qi Tongwei, who was half a son of heaven, refused to accept anyone's judgment and preferred to escape everything.

In this world, although he had already won Zhong Xiaoai's heart, and Zhong Xiaoai's father, Old Zhong, loved his daughter so much that he unconditionally supported him, giving him supreme power and glory.

Especially in Handong Province, just because Ma Haitao was his confidant, all the officials above the deputy director level in Handong Province, from Governor Liu Linzong to Provincial Party Secretary Zhao Lichun, except for Vice Governors He Dongfeng and Zheng Jindong, were present, giving him ample face.

However, Qi Tongwei wasn't unaware of the principle that everything that rises to the top must decline. He was prepared for the possibility of his downfall inland, although that possibility was extremely small...

Everyone needs a place to go, and Hong Kong is one of my fallback options.

Of course, Chen Yang and Yang Mi also helped him manage the business. All the money was legal and none of it was in his name, meaning it had nothing to do with him.

In fact, I haven't spent any of this money, and it's definitely not my money.

However, Yang Mi and Chen Yang are both members of their own team, and that will never change.

If something happens to me, Yang Mi and Chen Yang will definitely take out all this money. Just because I don't spend it now doesn't mean I won't need it in the future.

If I were to leave China, with all this substantial capital in my hands, plus my influence in Hong Kong...

No matter where he goes, he can never be the same Qi Tongwei who used to eat cornbread and pickled vegetables and couldn't even afford a pair of sneakers.

In the original drama, she worked so hard, rejected Liang Lu for Chen Yang, and was then suppressed by Liang Lu and assigned to a township judicial office.

Why did I never compromise with Liang Lu? Wasn't it because I was holding onto my feelings for Chen Yang?

This perseverance was met with Chen Yanshi's indifference. He ended up being shot three times while trying to become a hero for Chen Yang at Lone Eagle Ridge, only to be met with her 1.7-word breakup.

In such a state of utter despair, when he had nothing left in his life, he compromised with Liang Lu.

As a result, that kneeling became a disgrace in the eyes of Hou Liangping, Chen Hai and others, and a short story for those who were born into wealth, lived off their wives and enjoyed privileges to talk about over tea!

To put it bluntly, isn't all of this because of my bad background and being looked down upon by others?

To put it bluntly, isn't this all because their fathers aren't Chen Yanshi or Liang Qunfeng? Do they deserve it?

But this life is different; Qi Tongwei can no longer rely on Zhong Xiaoai to live off her.

Even if one day, I can no longer live off my wife,

Qi Tongwei also needs to be able to take Zhong Xiaoai to live a life completely different from what she is living now.

Chapter 362 Sister? What brings you to Handong?

Qi Tongwei admitted that he had fallen deeply in love with the woman beside him, and that even if Zhong Xiaoai could no longer provide him with any help one day, he would still be willing to hold her and walk with her forever.

Perhaps, if that day really comes, it will be the best time for me to repay Zhong Xiaoai for cooking dinner for me all these years.

Qi Tongwei looked at Zhong Xiaoai with tenderness and gently kissed her pink lips.

"While Hung Hing and Tung Sing are the two largest triads in Hong Kong, the influence of Wo Luen Shing should not be underestimated. As far as I know, they have many branches overseas, with offices in many countries. Wo Luen Shing may not be as powerful as Hung Hing and Tung Sing in Hong Kong alone, but the benefits we gain overseas after taking over Wo Luen Shing are far greater than those in Hong Kong alone!"

As Zhong Xiaoai listened to Qi Tongwei's words, her eyes shone with admiration.

In Zhong Xiaoai's eyes, Qi Tongwei was not a so-called gigolo, nor was he the son-in-law of the Zhong family as people said.

In Zhong Xiaoai's eyes, Qi Tongwei is a man with ideals, dreams, and ability.

Zhong Xiaoai knew very well that Qi Tongwei was an ambitious 26-year-old. As Qi Tongwei's wife, she didn't really have any demands; she just wanted to stay by his side and help him fulfill his dreams.

Zhong Xiaoai never thought that it was a big deal for Qi Tongwei to gain some power and benefits through her or the Zhong family.

In Zhong Xiaoai's eyes, this was perfectly normal.

No matter how much you support your husband, if he is not capable, then your support will be in vain.

Take Zheng Jindong, for example. As the eldest son of the State of Zheng, he received far more education and resources than Qi Tongwei from a young age.

However, it's clear that even with the support of the Zheng family, Zheng Jindong is still a good-for-nothing and is incomparable to Qi Tongwei.

In her eyes, Qi Tongwei is the best man in the world. It's not that he's a great driver, but that he's a capable, idealistic, and strong man. He just lacks an opportunity and someone to give him a push.

Now, all I want is to be the one by his side. In other people's eyes, perhaps Qi Tongwei is deeply attracted to me, or even infatuated with me.

However, what others don't know is how important Qi Tongwei is to her, and how fascinated she is by him.

Not only will I fight for what he wants, but even if it's something he doesn't want but is good for him, I will fight for it.

With her father's consent, she would grow old with Qi Tongwei.

If one day, her father, for the sake of the so-called great cause and the interests of the entire Zhong family, no longer agrees to her being with Qi Tongwei, she will still stay by Qi Tongwei's side. Unless she dies, she has no intention of leaving him.

Zhong Xiaoai felt that she had gotten used to being by his side, and leaving him would be too tiring.

Zhong Xiaoai looked at Qi Tongwei with a smile, her face full of admiration.

"Honey, why do we have to choose Jimmy? What if Jimmy is elected as the head of Wo Luen Shing and doesn't come to Jingzhou to see you or follow your orders?"

The reason for choosing Jimmy is that before Qi Tongwei's soul traveled through time, he had seen the sequel to the original film, in which Jimmy became the head of the Wo Luen Shing triad after Lok Siu.

Qi Tongwei knew very well that Zhanmi really wanted this position, and that he had never been loyal to Le Shao.

As for whether Jimmy would come to Jingzhou to see him after he was elected as the leader of Wo Luen Shing, Qi Tongwei had never worried about that.

In the original film, Jimmy later made contact with people from the mainland, wanting to clear his name and have his children become lawyers and legitimate businessmen.

Therefore, coming to Jingzhou to see him is completely in line with Zhanmi's persona and character.

As for whether Jimmy would be loyal to him after meeting him, Qi Tongwei was not worried at all, because he had a system that would immediately make Wo Luen Shing his vassal state as soon as he recruited Jimmy.

Now that Qi Tongwei has arranged everything, the next step is to see how Crow will carry out the specifics.
