A man in Handong: living off Zhong Xiaoai

Of course, even if others ignore him, Chen Hai will still nod and smile.

After all, it's basic courtesy. Of course, besides that, Chen Hai didn't know who these people came from, nor what their relationship was with Qi Tongwei; they all seemed very close. In short, he couldn't afford to offend Ling alone.

Moreover, apart from those who weren't working and those like Gao Xiaoqin who worked with her sister, everyone else in the team held a higher position than her.

At this moment, Qi Tongwei suddenly grabbed Chen Yang's hand and pulled him to his side.

Chen Yang blushed slightly at Qi Tongwei's sudden action.

Then, Qi Tongwei looked at Chen Hai, who had a calm expression.

"Chen Hai, your sister Chen Yang mentioned today that you should come over for a visit. I thought, (Wang Wanghao) there are no outsiders here, so I invited you over to sit down and chat. Your sister Chen Yang is one of my people, Qi Tongwei's person. To put it bluntly, you're my brother-in-law. You just heard your sister introduce everyone here today; you have to call each and every one of them 'sister.' It's not just politeness, it's also the rule of our family, understand?"

After hearing Qi Tongwei's words, Chen Hai was completely shocked. What did that mean? These people were all Qi Tongwei's harem?!

There's movie star Yang Mi, twin sisters Gao Xiaoqin and Gao Xiaofeng, Zhao Xiaoqin and Zhao Xiaohui, daughters of Zhao Lichun, the Party Secretary of Handong Province, an enviable mother and daughter pair Chang Hong and Sun Duoduo, and two young beauties from the Handong Provincial Police Force, Zhou Shutong and Luo Bixin.

So many top beauties, including Hao Xiuping, Zheng Mengyan, Ding Yao, and Little Stutterer, are all his "older sisters"?

Chapter 498 Why doesn't Zhao Ruilong come to see his brother-in-law?

At this moment, Chen Hai couldn't help but look at his sister Chen Yang. He had to admire his sister's magnanimity.

From being Qi Tongwei's official girlfriend to where she is today, that's all thanks to her sister's abilities.

However, the current empress is Zhong Xiaoai, and she has little to do with her older sister anymore.

"Governor, oh no! Brother-in-law, look at my mouth, I get excited and start calling out like that. I feel so honored to be here at your home, my heart is so warm. After meeting all the sisters just now, I feel even more that I made the right choice to come. Your family is full of talented people, and each of you sisters is just as capable as any man."

As Chen Hai spoke, he smiled.

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei thought, "Chen Hai is quite good at talking."

Zhao Xiaohui suddenly looked at Chen Hai and thought of her dear younger brother Zhao Ruilong.

Didn't he go back to China a couple of days ago? Why didn't he come to visit his brother-in-law?

Look at Chen Yang's brother-in-law, he's so good at handling things!

Chen Hai paused for a moment, then continued speaking to Qi Tongwei with a smile.

"Brother-in-law, I'm about to take up my post in Jinshan County, and I'm both excited and nervous. As you know, the position of deputy county head carries great responsibility, and I dare not slack off in the slightest. Before I go to take office, if you have any advice for me, or anything I need to pay attention to, please tell me. Your words are like a lighthouse to me, guiding me in the right direction. Brother-in-law, please give me some advice for the sake of our family ties!"

Upon hearing Chen Hai's words, Qi Tongwei's lips curled up slightly.

Qi Tongwei felt a little embarrassed because he thought Chen Hai was really good at talking and thought about how he had messed with him before.

"Chen Hai, you're about to take up your post in Jinshan County. This deputy county head position is no easy task. The leadership in Jinshan County is a complicated place, so you need to be mentally prepared."

Chen Hai was very clever. When he heard that Qi Tongwei was about to get to the point, he immediately took out a notebook and pen from his bag and started taking notes.

Seeing Chen Hai like this, Qi Tongwei glanced at Zhong Xiaoai, who was lying lazily in his arms.

I really want to say, look at other people, come to my house and see how they know to bring a pen and notebook to take notes.

Looking at Zhong Xiaoai again, I've never seen her bring a pen when she accompanied me to the provincial government meeting in Handong Province.

Oh! No, that's not right. That would be unfair to her, since she did bring an eyebrow pencil into the conference room.

Then, Qi Tongwei continued.

“The county party secretary is Yi Xuexi. He’s a stubborn guy who never stops working. You have to be careful how you communicate with him. Don’t confront him head-on. You have to be strategic.”

In the original drama, Yi Xuexi was too straightforward, always speaking the truth, and only good at work but not at being cunning, so he never managed to improve himself even after many years.

Given that Yi Xuexi and Wang Dalu had previously helped Li Dakang take the blame, there was even less chance for them.

However, Li Dakang was not a good friend; he forgot about Yi Xuexi after he went up there.

Therefore, in the original drama, Yi Xuexi had not made any significant achievements before meeting Sha Ruijin.

"The county magistrate, as you know, is Li Dakang, the secretary of Zhao Lichun, the secretary of the provincial party secretary of Handong Province. You took office at the same time as him. He is now the head of the county and you are the deputy. You have to respect him, learn from him, and support his work."

Chen Hai knew this; Li Dakang was arranged by Qi Tongwei with just a few words, as if he were arranging his own position.

Because of this incident, my own father, Chen Yanshi, keeps saying that Qi Tongwei was able to arrange cadres in Handong Province because Zhong Xiaoai helped him.

The old man had to admit that the more he thought about it, the more confused he seemed.

Among all the people here, besides Qi Tongwei, Li Dakang has the strongest connections.

People with connections tend to be somewhat assertive at work.

Chen Hai didn't know whether he would be able to get along and work happily with Li Dakang after he went to Jinshan County.

Qi Tongwei, of course, had no idea what Chen Hai was thinking, so his voice continued to come through.

"There's another deputy county head named Wang Dalu. He's got complicated social connections and likes to associate with businessmen. You need to be careful around him and not let his messy relationships cause you trouble."

Chen Hai had never heard of Wang Dalu before, but now that Qi Tongwei had brought him up in person, it proved that this person was quite special.

Otherwise, in the eyes of Qi Tongwei, the governor of Handong Province, a deputy county head of Jinshan County would just be a minor official.

To put it bluntly, the deputy county head of Jinshan County is not even as high-ranking as one of the concubines in Qi Tongwei's harem.

If Wang Dalu had nothing special about him, Qi Tongwei would never have remembered him.

Therefore, you need to be especially careful.

Qi Tongwei only knew that in the original drama, Wang Dalu resigned because of Li Dakang and eventually went into business.

However, Qi Tongwei only found out after investigating in this world.

The reason why Wang Dalu was able to run such a successful business after resigning is not because he was particularly capable after resigning.

Rather, this person, while still serving as the deputy county magistrate of Jinshan County, enjoyed making friends with businessmen in society.

At this point, Qi Tongwei pointed at Chen Hai in front of him.

“You originally studied in the Department of Political Science and Law at Handong University. Although you didn’t graduate, you worked at the Laoqiao Town Judicial Office for a period of time. This time, you are being appointed as the Deputy County Head in charge of police affairs in Jinshan County and concurrently the Director of the Jinshan County Police Bureau. This is quite a good fit.”

Chen Hai had already read the document. He was quite excited at the time, never expecting that one day he would be able to go to Jinshan County and wear that imposing uniform.

Thinking about this, Chen Hai still has high hopes for his future work.

As Qi Tongwei spoke, he looked at Chen Hai in front of him and smiled.

"I also worked my way up from the police force in Handong Province, so we're practically colleagues. When you go to Jinshan County, do your job well and don't embarrass me!"

As he spoke, Qi Tongwei looked at Chen Yang beside him and smiled at him with a touch of affection.

Chen Yang immediately blushed slightly when she looked at Qi Tongwei.

At this moment, Chen Hai noticed that Zhong Xiaoai, the empress in Qi Tongwei's arms, did not react at all, and her face remained relaxed and lazy.

Afterwards, Chen Hai looked at the other women in the room. They all seemed to be used to it, and none of them showed any jealousy or envy.

Chapter 499 Madam, is there anything else you need?

Chen Hai really had to admire Qi Tongwei. How did he maintain such a huge "harem" system?

At this moment, Chen Yang seemed to have already withdrawn from Qi Tongwei's gentle embrace, and she looked at Chen Hai with a serious expression.

"Chen Hai, did you hear what your brother-in-law said just now? Remember it well. This time you're going to Jinshan County as the deputy county head, which is no small challenge. The situation in Jinshan County is complicated, so you need to be mentally prepared. Don't think that just because you're a deputy county head, it will be easy."

Your brother-in-law has earned his position in Handong Province through his own abilities. You should carefully consider what he says and not just ignore it. Especially those people he mentioned, like Yi Xuexi, Li Dakang, and Wang Dalu, you need to keep them in mind and know how to deal with them.

Your brother-in-law values ​​you, that's why he gave you this opportunity to train in Jinshan County. Don't let him down, and don't embarrass me. When you get there, do your best, make a name for yourself, and show your brother-in-law, and show the people of Handong Province, that our family members are all capable of handling things on their own.

Remember, when you get to Jinshan County, don't cause me any trouble, and don't give your brother-in-law any problems. Work hard, be a good person, and don't let people talk behind your back. The Chen family is all honest and upright; don't let anyone tarnish our reputation.”

Chen Hai felt a slight tremor in his heart upon hearing Chen Yang's words.

Chen Hai knew very well that when Chen Yang said "our family" earlier, he meant the Chen family. His sister probably wanted him to prove himself and stop people from pointing fingers at him because of his father, Chen Yanshi.

Chen Hai was actually quite moved, not because he had met so many "sisters" with Qi Tongwei today, but because Chen Yang seemed to still care about him as a younger brother.

When I visited my father-in-law, Chen Yanshi, he was still worried that his sister hadn't forgiven him.

In fact, Chen Hai understood that even if his sister Chen Yang hated Chen Yanshi, they were still family members connected by blood.

How far can a family that shares the same bloodline become estranged?

Of course, Chen Hai did not believe that his sister no longer hated their father.

Rather, it means that sometimes, hatred can also be a bond within a family. Because among close relatives, there is no pure hatred; hatred always carries with it some fond memories of the past.

Thinking about this, Chen Hai found some solace in facing his broken family in the past.

Then, Chen Hai looked at his sister Chen Yang, and then at Qi Tongwei.

"Sister, brother-in-law, don't worry. I wrote down all the key points you mentioned in your notebook. When I get back, I will definitely study them carefully and digest them. I know that this trip to Jinshan County is a great responsibility. I can't let you down, brother-in-law, and I can't let any of the sisters in this room down either."

As he spoke, Chen Hai smiled and looked around at the "sisters" in the room.

Zhao Xiaohui originally didn't want to pay attention to Chen Hai, but after hearing what Chen Hai said, she couldn't help but smile.

"Wow! You have a sweet tongue!"

Chang Hong also laughed.

"You bet you are! I've seen Chen Yang's younger brother, and his eloquence is truly remarkable!"

Ding Yao smiled as well.

"It would be a waste of talent not to nurture such excellent eloquence."

Qi Tongwei couldn't help but smile when he saw how Chen Hai's words had made his "ladies" so happy.

Seeing that his words had a good effect, Chen Hai continued.

“Brother-in-law, your words are like a guiding light to me. I will keep them in mind and remind myself of them at all times. When I get to Jinshan County, I will do my best to do the job well and live up to your and everyone’s expectations.”

Qi Tongwei listened to Chen Hai's words and seemed quite satisfied, nodding with a smile.

Although Chen Yang hadn't held out much hope for her younger brother's future, she was still very happy to see that Chen Hai had managed to satisfy Qi Tongwei so much. After all, blood is thicker than water, and no matter what, Chen Hai was still her brother.

Request flowers

After Chen Hai finished speaking, he looked at Zhong Xiaoai very respectfully.

"Also, Madam, if there's anything else you need to tell me, please don't hesitate to give my instructions. I will listen carefully and do my best, and I will never let you down. Please believe me, I will work hard and live up to your expectations!"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiaoai realized that Chen Hai was indeed adept at handling things; after talking to everyone, he didn't forget about her. It was truly a waste of his talents that her husband, Qi Tongwei, had made him pick up trash.

So, Zhong Xiaoai smiled and said to Chen Hai.

"Chen Hai, your sister Chen Yang and I are like sisters, so our relationship is self-evident. I fully support your appointment as deputy county head in Jinshan County. Tongwei has already told you everything he needed to say, and I believe you've taken it all to heart."
