A man in Handong: living off Zhong Xiaoai

Perhaps your father just told you that he regrets it, and those words may have been sincere. But now that things have come to this, who cares how much someone who has made a mistake truly regrets it?

Chen Hai knew that his father, Chen Yanshi, was indeed a person who had made mistakes; he did more than just raise flowers, plants, and rare birds.

More importantly, he sacrificed his sister Chen Yang's lifelong happiness and almost ruined Qi Tongwei's entire 26-year-old life.

Chen Hai couldn't understand what would have happened if Qi Tongwei hadn't met Zhong Xiaoai back then, and his life had been ruined because his father forced his sister Chen Yang to break up with him.

Even if Qi Tongwei is like his former self, working in a township judicial office, he had no future at a young age and was sentenced to "death" in his career.

Will Qi Tongwei be led astray by this? What if Qi Tongwei, because of the wrong path his father Chen Yanshi led him down, ultimately commits a crime or loses his life?

At that time, Chen Yanshi, the father, might not have been in prison. Does that mean he was innocent?

Chen Hai didn't know what others would think. He felt that after experiencing the work of the judicial office firsthand, if it weren't for Qi Tongwei pulling him up when he was at his lowest point, he would have been completely lost.

He would either die of depression at a young age, or he would embark on a path of no return.

Therefore, Chen Hai believed that his father was wrong and guilty, but Chen Yanshi was still his father. No matter how deep his sins were, he loved him deeply as a father, and he loved his father just as much.

The reason I didn't come when my father was critically ill was because I was homeless at the time, scavenging for garbage, and being ostracized in a town that couldn't even be found on a map. That's why I didn't receive the news.

As for his older sister, Chen Yang, he didn't know if she had forgiven their father, Chen Yanshi, but he was sure she would consider Qi Tongwei's feelings, so she didn't come to see their father, Chen Yanshi, which was something he couldn't help.

Perhaps, in the heart of her older sister Chen Yang, the resolute way her father Chen Yanshi treated her back then is something she can never let go of.

After all, it's because you've had expectations and loved deeply that it's hard to let go and find peace...

Han Dong Province, inside the provincial government office building, in the governor's office.

Qi Tongwei, who had just filled Zhong Xiaoai's car with 98-octane gasoline, wiped the sweat from his forehead, straightened his clothes, and prepared to drink some water and sit down for a rest.

Just then, Zhong Xiaoai, who had just returned with a full tank of gas, excitedly took her notebook and skipped over to Qi Tongwei.

Then she pouted and said with a haughty expression.

"Governor Qi, it's time. Let's go to the meeting!"

Exhausted and panting, Qi Tongwei was about to sit down when he heard Zhong Xiaoai's voice and his eyes widened.

"A meeting?! What kind of meeting?"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiaoai immediately became displeased and frowned deeply.

"We agreed on this yesterday! Today you have to reconvene the provincial government leadership meeting for my sake!"

As she spoke, Zhong Xiaoai crossed her arms in front of her chest.

"Hmph! The notice was sent out after get off work yesterday, you didn't forget, did you!"

Qi Tongwei wondered, what's going on?

After thinking for a long time, Qi Tongwei finally remembered. That's right, Comrade Zhong Xiaoai fell asleep with the documents standing on the table during the meeting yesterday.

She said she hadn't heard the contents of the meeting and then strongly demanded that it be rescheduled.

Qi Tongwei took a deep breath. Damn it! Are we really going to have to reopen it? Just thinking about it makes me feel awkward. What am I going to say to everyone at the meeting? What should I say?

Seeing that Qi Tongwei hadn't responded for a while, Zhong Xiaoai pouted.

"Governor Qi! What do you mean? You don't mean you don't want to go anymore, do you?"

Qi Tongwei saw that Zhong Xiaoai's stubborn little face had been completely retouched, her hair was neatly styled, and her clothes were properly dressed.

So fast? Didn't I just fill up her car with 98-octane gasoline? I haven't even had a chance to sit down and rest yet, and Zhong Xiaoai has already finished touching up her makeup and tidying her clothes?

The provincial government of Handong Province is not the Handong Provincial Police Department. The notice to reconvene the leadership meeting yesterday was issued in my own name through my secretary, Zhong Xiaoai, who contacted the provincial government office. So, no matter what, I have to go to the leadership meeting this afternoon, even if I have to bite the bullet.

There's no way around it, I just wanted to make my wife happy.

"Go! Let's go! To the conference room!"

As Qi Tongwei spoke, he picked up his pen and notebook with a dejected look on his face.

Zhong Xiaoai remained as self-centered as ever, never helping herself with a pen or notebook.

Fortunately, she brought her own this time.

Zhong Xiaoai was very happy at this moment; she seemed particularly eager to hold the meeting.

Just like today's provincial government meeting, where she will be appointed as vice governor.

Although it's theoretically possible, Zhong Xiaoai simply doesn't want to do it right now.

She also wants to be by her side, swimming freely like a fish.

"Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!"

Then, Qi Tongwei reluctantly followed Zhong Xiaoai to the outer room.

What happened next made Qi Tongwei's eyes widen in disbelief.

Zhong Xiaoai suddenly put the pen and notebook she had been holding on the table, then picked up the document that had covered her face while she slept yesterday, and happily headed out.

What does this mean?! Why did she put down her meeting tools again and bring back the documents she uses to sleep?

Chapter 463 The Sudden Laughter

Qi Tongwei was ashen-faced. He had chosen to reconvene the provincial government of Handong Province for Zhong Xiaoai's sake, but Zhong Xiaoai had gone back to sleeping. What was the reason for this?

At this moment, Zhong Xiaoai had already arrived at the door of Qi Tongwei's office. She turned around impatiently and urged him on.

"Let's go! Let's go! Hehehe!"

As Zhong Xiaoai spoke, she secretly hid her "tools of the trade" behind her back, then grinned, revealing a pure and lively smile like that of a college student.

Qi Tongwei was speechless for a moment. He was still thinking about how to fool everyone in the conference room for Zhong Xiaoai's sake, while Zhong Xiaoai was already thinking about how to sleep in the conference room?

Qi Tongwei took a deep breath and then said with a helpless expression.

"coming."

Upon arriving at the entrance, Qi Tongwei saw many vice governors rushing into the conference room because of Zhong Xiaoai's "happiness".

At this moment, Zhong Xiaoai looked at Qi Tongwei with a very innocent expression. Qi Tongwei thought for a moment and realized that she was waiting for him to lock the door.

Qi Tongwei really didn't want to complain, but which provincial governor in the entire Xia Kingdom was like him, having to lock and unlock the door every day while his secretary just stood by and watched?

Qi Tongwei really didn't understand why Zhong Xiaoai wanted him to reconvene the provincial government leadership meeting of Handong Province today.

Aside from her perverse sense of humor, could it be that Zhong Xiaoai wanted to sleep in the meeting room? Or had she fallen in love with the atmosphere of sleeping in provincial government meetings?

Thinking of this, Qi Tongwei's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but twitch his lips a few times. He looked around at the vice governors who were preparing to attend the meeting.

That's it, we're in trouble now, we can expect to have frequent meetings from now on.

In a small meeting room on the other side of the provincial government office building in Handong Province.

Qi Tongwei was sitting at the far end of the long table, looking at the vice governors present.

As soon as the vice governors entered, they quickly looked around, wondering if Sha Ruijin had arrived.

They were eager to know if they had originally planned to arrest more people yesterday, but because they were suddenly taken away, they didn't finish arresting them out of humanitarian considerations, and were now preparing to arrest everyone again today.

Everyone thinks that must be the case, otherwise why would the meeting be restarted today?

The crowd looked at each other, their faces pale and their foreheads covered in cold sweat.

Although Sha Ruijin was not seen at the scene, Qi Tongwei was so powerful that he would inevitably use other methods to mess with everyone, or he might have Sha Ruijin hiding in a corner and then leading a large group of people to rush in and launch a sneak attack.

People like Sha Ruijin love to bring a bunch of younger comrades to ambush us older comrades in the meeting room or office. They don't have much sense of martial ethics, and you can't say anything about it. They're very difficult to deal with.

Qi Tongwei looked at the group of vice governors of Handong Province who were looking at each other at the table, and then at Zhong Xiaoai, who had disappeared and was standing to the side with a document.

Qi Tongwei was immediately speechless. These people would never have imagined that the cold sweat they were sweating today and the diagnosis fees for heart treatment at the hospital afterward were all caused by Zhong Xiaoai wanting to sleep here.

Seeing this, Qi Tongwei coughed and said helplessly.

"Comrades, because of He Dongfeng's sudden accident yesterday, many things in the meeting were not fully explained or cleared up. Therefore, I think it is necessary to reconvene the meeting to make everyone's work clear and thorough."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression darkened further. It was indeed because He Dongfeng had suddenly "gone silent" yesterday, failing to arrest everyone. They were doomed! Their hearts pounded wildly. What were they going to do?!

Everyone's face turned pale. Qi Tongwei was also very embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

He had been looking down at the documents in his hand, pretending to be thinking, when he said what he just said.

Suddenly, Qi Tongwei looked up and saw two rows of pale-faced people on the table, each looking like a foreign vampire. Qi Tongwei was startled for a moment.

I wondered what was wrong with me, if I had encountered a parade of a hundred demons.

Qi Tongwei glanced again at Zhong Xiaoai, who had given him a hard time. She was sitting in the audience and could only see the document.

If I'm not mistaken, Comrade Zhong Xiaoai is already fast asleep.

Qi Tongwei took a deep breath. He had to say something. If he asked them to report their work again, they wouldn't be able to come up with anything new, and it would make him seem incompetent.

At that moment, Qi Tongwei's gaze fell directly on Zhang Baoming.

"Comrade Baoming?"

Upon hearing Qi Tongwei call Zhang Baoming's name, everyone turned their attention to Zhang Baoming.

When Zhang Baoming heard Qi Tongwei call his name, his heart trembled, and with a "bang," he lay down on the ground just like He Dongfeng had yesterday.

Zhang Baoming knew that he was the only one who had posed a difficult question to Qi Tongwei yesterday, because he had no idea of ​​Qi Tongwei's "weight" or that Qi Tongwei's backer was Elder Zhong.

Now that I know, I was almost scared to death.

Upon hearing Qi Tongwei's shout, I tensed up and fell down.

Although Zhang Baoming was lying in the same position as He Dongfeng yesterday, he was indeed still alive.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Zhang Baoming stood up shakily.

Qi Tongwei frowned as he looked at Zhang Baoming.

"I only called your name once, why are you still lying down?"

Just then, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the conference room.

Qi Tongwei looked and saw that Comrade Zhong Xiaoai, who should have been fast asleep, had somehow peeked out from behind the documents, covering her mouth and laughing happily.

Qi Tongwei now understood: Zhong Xiaoai hadn't appeared because nothing interesting had happened during the meeting.

To summon Zhong Xiaoai, who is hiding behind the materials, you must exchange her for something interesting that happens on site.

Upon hearing the laughter, everyone was quite surprised. Who was so unruly as to suddenly laugh at a provincial government meeting?

But when everyone realized that the person laughing was none other than Zhong Xiaoai, their "ancestor," they quickly turned to look at their documents. Their faces darkened; they had lost all interest in the source of the laughter.
