A man in Handong: living off Zhong Xiaoai

Upon hearing Qi Tongwei's words, Chen Yang smiled as she cooked.

Surprisingly, Qi Tongwei's words were quite effective with Chen Yang.

It's not that girls fall for this kind of thing.

Rather, Chen Yang and Qi Tongwei already had a special relationship, so she certainly couldn't ask the same things about Qi Tongwei as other girls would ask of their boyfriends.

After dinner, Qi Tongwei did not go back to find Zhong Xiaoai immediately.

Instead, they stayed with Chen Yang, not because Chen Yang's legs were better than others'.

However, in the original owner's memories, Qi Tongwei actually still had feelings for Chen Yang.

After all, the two met when they were at their most innocent and naive, and they were each other's first love.

Some time later, in Chen Yanshi's office at the Handong Provincial Procuratorate.

Chen Yanshi looked at Qi Tongwei opposite him and said.

"Qi Tongwei, I met with Director Pan Yue of the Provincial Public Security Department the other day. He mentioned you to me and wanted to ask if you still have any thoughts about working at the Provincial Public Security Department?"

Upon hearing Chen Yanshi's words, Qi Tongwei instantly understood what he meant.

He wants to get himself transferred to the provincial department so he won't have to see me anymore, out of sight, out of mind.

Of course, this was not something Chen Yanshi could decide.

In the original drama, Qi Tongwei was the director of a provincial department, a full-fledged department-level official. In reality, the top position in most provincial departments is held concurrently by the vice governor.

In other words, Director Pan, like Zhang Lianjun, is actually a vice-ministerial level official.

Within the system, it is actually very difficult for a chief prosecutor or a vice governor who has not been promoted to the provincial party committee standing committee to be promoted to the ministerial level, which is equivalent to the provincial level.

Otherwise, they would need to be transferred to a higher level, perhaps to become a member of the provincial party committee standing committee or something.

Otherwise, we'll have to wait for a special opportunity.

Now that Qi Tongwei's background has been clarified, this is undoubtedly the best opportunity for these two leaders.

In addition, Qi Tongwei is indeed very capable, so there's not much to worry about; we can easily promote him.

If Qi Tongwei gets promoted, they will have a chance to get promoted as well.

Rumor has it that the higher-ups are preparing to transfer Zhang Lianjun to Kyoto.

Therefore, Pan Yue has now begun to take action.

“Prosecutor Chen, this kind of thing shouldn’t be up to me to decide. After all, I can do it anywhere. It’s mainly about what the organization thinks.”

Chen Yanshi smiled, realizing that Qi Tongwei had no intention of forcing him to stay.

The first time she treated Qi Tongwei, she seemed somewhat friendly.

"Xiao Qi, if you have any ideas, tell me the truth. I can talk to Chief Prosecutor Zhang on your behalf, and there shouldn't be any major problems."

Qi Tongwei knew very well that his job was arranged by Zhong Xiaoai through Zhong Lao, and it was not something that Chen Yanshi could solve by talking to Zhang Lianjun.

“I personally have no objection to Prosecutor Chen’s arrangements. I will follow the organization’s arrangements.”

After saying that, Qi Tongwei smiled and stood up.

After seeing Qi Tongwei leave, Chen Yanshi's face turned pale, and his lips twitched twice.

"This kid, he's asking for it!"

That evening, Qi Tongwei returned home.

At the dinner table, Zhong Xiaoai looked at Qi Tongwei, who seemed preoccupied.

"What's wrong? Something on your mind?"

Qi Tongwei smiled.

"Nothing can be hidden from your eyes!"

"Speak, what's wrong?"

Actually, I didn't tell you...

In this way, Qi Tongwei recounted how Chen Yanshi had suppressed him when he joined the procuratorate, and how Chen Yanshi wanted him to work in the provincial department.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiaoai immediately became unhappy.

"Chen Yanshi? What level is he? Is he that powerful?"

"Don't be angry, he's just an old song title, he likes to act like he's old and condescending. He's the father of Chen Hai from our school."

"Regardless of his fate, you can't make things difficult for our family. Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"I just thought I should do my job well, I didn't expect it to be so complicated. But to be honest, I don't care where I go, I'm good at handling cases anyway."

"We can leave, but at least two conditions must be met!"

Chapter 43 Comrade Chen Yanshi, please come with us.

Qi Tongwei looked at Zhong Xiaoai, who seemed a little unhappy.

"Two conditions?"

Zhong Xiaoai nodded.

"They want us to go to the provincial department. Sure, we'll promote you again and make you the deputy director of the provincial department!"

"I've already reached the level of a full-fledged department head in just over a year. Wouldn't it be too fast to be promoted to deputy director-general level as well?"

While outwardly hesitating, Qi Tongwei inwardly felt a surge of elation.

If this were done by an ordinary cadre, it would be too fast and unrealistic.

But behind Zhong Xiaoai is Elder Zhong.

Furthermore, the system itself includes provisions for exceptional promotions, but very few people actually have the opportunity to use them.

If Professor Zhong were willing to speak up, wouldn't these regulations be prepared just for him?

Zhong Xiaoai looked at Qi Tongwei, took his hand, and comforted him.

"It's alright. You're very capable. We'll be promoted when it's our turn. What's there to be afraid of?"

Qi Tongwei used to be so eager to join the cast in the drama. Now, at this rate, isn't it getting closer and closer to joining the cast himself?

"What about the second rule?"

"Chen Yanshi should be dealt with seriously and transferred out of the Provincial Procuratorate!"

"That's probably difficult. Although Chen Yanshi has been targeting me, he has always cultivated a good political image in the eyes of outsiders. It's hard to just transfer him away, isn't it?"

Zhong Xiaoai smiled after hearing Qi Tongwei's words.

"None of the snowflakes are white, but don't worry about that, I've got you covered!"

Not long after, inside the Public Security Bureau of Handong Province, Director Pan Yue was happily announcing the appointment of Qi Tongwei.

"Based on the unanimous decision of the provincial party committee leaders, Comrade Qi Tongwei is hereby appointed as the Deputy Director of the Public Security Department of Handong Province!"

As soon as he said that, a murmur of discussion arose from the crowd.

"Wow! Who is this? So young, and already a deputy director-level official?"

"I heard that those major cases a while ago were all committed by this new director!"

"That's too fast! How long has it been? He's already a deputy director-general level official?"

"There must be someone behind him! I heard that his backer is Chen Yanshi!"

"Really? Is it that old song title that's just being pretentious and sounds like it's from a bygone era?"

"That's right, it's him!"

"Pshaw! Last time I went to the procuratorate, he kept rambling on and on with me, he was really opinionated!"

"That's right, it's quite an achievement that Director Qi was chosen by that old man!"

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, a pair of eyes coldly watched the stage.

That's right, it was Han Ming, the captain of the Provincial Public Security Department's Criminal Investigation Corps, who had previously crossed paths with Qi Tongwei.

The position of deputy director that Qi Tongwei is now in has been vacant for a long time, and many people are saying that Han Ming and Zhang Lei, the captain of the anti-drug brigade, are the most likely people to take this position.

Zhang Lei is a character played by Sun Honglei in the movie "Drug War".

Now he has appeared in the same time and space as Qi Tongwei, serving as the captain of the Narcotics Control Team of the Public Security Bureau of Handong Province.

The reason why these two chiefs are said to have the best chance is because the deputy director himself is in charge of these two departments.

Among these team leaders, Han Ming and Zhang Lei are the most senior.

Jiang Guangming looked at Han Ming beside him, and then at Qi Tongwei, with whom he had a close relationship.

"Captain Han, will Director Qi still be in charge of us like before?"

Han Ming stared blankly at Qi Tongwei on the stage.

"Yes, at least our Criminal Investigation Division and Narcotics Control Division are still under the jurisdiction of this newly arrived deputy director."

"That's great! We've even gone on missions together before, so we're practically acquaintances!"

After hearing Jiang Guangming's words, Han Ming glanced at Jiang Guangming, looking speechless.

Jiang Guangming certainly hoped that Qi Tongwei would become the deputy director. What Han Ming didn't know was that Jiang Guangming had met Qi Tongwei more than once.

At the same time, they also had a history of in-depth exchanges, after all, the two were comrades-in-arms.

Meanwhile, inside the procuratorate, Chen Yanshi was frowning in his office.

"It's not that I disagree with Lü Lingling's job transfer, but Qi Tongwei just went to the provincial department as deputy director. How can he take a female colleague away from our procuratorate like this?"

As Chen Yanshi spoke, he looked at Zeng Mingrong, the acting director of the second department in front of him.

Zeng Mingrong gave an awkward laugh.

“Prosecutor Chen, Chief Prosecutor Zhang Lianjun has already given his approval for this matter. It wouldn’t be appropriate for you not to sign it, would it?”

Upon hearing Zeng Mingrong's words, Wang Yuhang, who was standing to the side, immediately stood up.

“Zeng Mingrong, you’re still just an acting director. How dare you speak to the chief prosecutor like that? Don’t think that just because Qi Tongwei recommended you before he left, you can secure your position as the director of the Second Department! Whether you can remove the ‘acting’ title from your position depends on Prosecutor Chen’s decision!”

Seeing this, Chen Yanshi waved his hand dismissively.
