A man in Handong: living off Zhong Xiaoai

After taking the envelope, Liu Jianming immediately took out the contents and then his eyes widened in surprise.

Mary, are all of these Mr. Ni's documents? I've looked through them carefully, and the information is quite comprehensive. If there's anything I need to pay special attention to or that I need to handle in any way, please let me know, and I'll definitely take care of it properly for you.

Mary smiled when she heard Liu Jianming's words. She knew she had chosen the right person.

Jianming, you've been with me for so long, you should understand what's most important in our club. It's nothing more than standing out, reaching the top one day, and being respected by everyone. Now, some people are being inconsiderate, insisting on blocking your way, Mary, and that really annoys me. Tell me, are you willing to help me remove all these obstacles, clearing them away one by one?

Liu Jianming stared wide-eyed at the materials about Ni Kun in his hand, and after hearing Mary's words, he was momentarily confused.

Could it be that the person Mary was referring to, the one blocking her way, is Ni Kun, Mr. Ni?!

Jianming, take a close look at this document. Tucked inside is that old man Ni Kun's schedule. Every Wednesday night, without fail, he goes to that senior activity center on Yangcai South Street to sing his chorus (by Wang Qian). All alone, without a single bodyguard. I've personally checked it out; it's confirmed. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you know what I mean? It's up to you whether you can seize it, okay?

Looking at the way Mary was looking at him, Liu Jianming knew very well that Mary wanted him to get rid of Ni Kun.

Liu Jianming's heart tightened. He seemed somewhat surprised, after all, Ni Kun was the head of the Ni family, one of the four major triads in Hong Kong.

Mary, you...you want me to get rid of Mr. Ni? Is all of this paving the way for Brother Chen to rise to power? But didn't you say before that you and Brother Chen had already...already broken up? What, what exactly is going on? I, I'm a little confused.

Mary's face showed no particular expression after hearing Liu Jianming's words.

She picked up her cigarette and took a light drag.

Chapter 513 When will you invite Governor Qi to your home?

Then, Mary looked at Liu Jianming expressionlessly, smoking a cigarette as she spoke coldly.

Jianming, you don't need to ask so many questions; knowing too much won't do you any good. Just do your job cleanly and neatly; the rest is none of your concern! Remember, do it well, don't leave any loose ends. That will be better for both of us!

Liu Jianming seemed somewhat disappointed at this moment, because he felt that Mary getting rid of Ni Kun would not benefit her at all.

Mary did this for Han Chen's sake.

Although Mary clearly stated that she and Han Chen had broken up and there was no trace of Han Chen in the house, why would Mary still do such a thing for Han Chen?

Mary, I understand. I won't ask any more questions. Don't worry, I will handle this matter perfectly and cleanly. I will not let you down, and I will not cause myself any trouble.

Mary was quite satisfied with Liu Jianming's answer. She looked at Liu Jianming, who was about to leave, smiled, and said...

That's good, Jianming. In this circle, you're the person I trust most. That's why I entrusted you with such an important task. There are many things I can't explain to you clearly right now, but you must believe me, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with Han Chen. Everything you've done is for the greater good, for all of us in 680, not for anyone else. Do you understand? I believe you can handle it well; don't let me down.

After hearing Mary's words, Liu Jianming nodded.

Liu Jianming felt much better after hearing that this matter had nothing to do with Han Chen, which proved that he still had a chance. Therefore, he was determined to handle this matter clearly for Mary.

In the provincial party committee compound of Handong Province, at the home of Jing Liang, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee.

Jing Liang frowned as he looked at Jing Tian, ​​who was packing his things.

Oh my, little sister! You're just here in Jingzhou to have a simple meal with Qi Tongwei, why are you acting like you're planning a long-term stay? You brought so many clothes! Haha, has the fashion scene here gotten so great that you can't resist changing outfits to show off different styles? Honestly, it makes me, your older brother, both laugh and feel warm inside. Don't worry, no matter what, I'll support you. Even if you were to hold a fashion show, I'd be there to cheer you on!

Jing Tian glanced at his brother, who was grinning foolishly to the side, and pouted.

Jing Tian wasn't there for a meal; he couldn't accept any gigs for the time being anyway.

Instead of doing that, we might as well do something else meaningful.

Of course, for Jing Tian, ​​the meaningful thing was to stay and slowly get to know Qi Tongwei, who interested her.

Oh, brother, I've taken a short vacation and plan to stay in Jingzhou for a while to enjoy some leisure time. What's wrong? You won't mind me staying at your house, will you? It's been a long time since we siblings have kept each other company like this. It's a good opportunity to chat and share our thoughts, isn't it? Just treat me like a little guest, and be tolerant of your little sister.

Jingliang nodded. Even if he was unwilling, he couldn't send his sister away.

However, her father had already lost his temper a couple of days ago and called to question her about what she and her sister had said.

Jingliang felt wronged, as he was often asked to sacrifice his own affairs to protect his sister.

Now that his younger sister has some of her own ideas, and his own father is also trying to make things difficult for him, Jingliang doesn't feel particularly comfortable thinking about it.

Although Jingliang didn't know what Jingtian had done, he knew that his younger sister Jingtian must have had a conflict with his father.

Oh dear, little sister, did you have a fight with Grandpa? You look like you're carrying a lot on your mind. Come on, tell me, did Grandpa arrange another blind date you don't like, or are his old-fashioned ideas giving you a headache again? Don't worry, I'm here for you. We'll figure something out together, okay? Don't let these little worries affect your mood; I'm always on your side.

It would have been better if Jing Liang hadn't said anything, because after hearing Jing Liang's words, Jing Tian seemed to suddenly remember something.

Hey bro, I'm enjoying my little vacation right now, it's so great! By the way, speaking of which, when are we going to arrange that dinner with Governor Qi? Have you already made plans with him? I've prepared so many topics to talk about specifically for this gathering. We need to hurry, I don't want to miss this opportunity to chat with him, after all, these kinds of gatherings are rare.

Jingliang was stunned when he heard this. What short holiday? Wasn't this just ruining his reputation? His sister's attitude was really something else!

Are Qi Tongwei and his sister very close? She even prepared so many topics; she wasn't joking, was she?

Hey sis, I've already spoken to Governor Qi. He agreed without hesitation as soon as he heard it was a family gathering—he's so enthusiastic! Now it's just a matter of when it's convenient for us. We can set a time and let him know. What do you think? Would you like to choose a weekend, or pick a day when everyone is relaxed? Tell your brother, and I'll make the arrangements. I guarantee this gathering will be both enjoyable and unforgettable!

Upon hearing his brother's words, Jing Tian was overjoyed and felt a slight flutter in his heart.

Hey brother, I'm on a rare vacation right now, so what are we waiting for? Get started getting ready, don't procrastinate! As for the time, there's no time like the present, how about today? Or tomorrow? I'm free for a while anyway, I can come anytime. Let's have a spontaneous get-together, add some surprise and fun to life, isn't that great!

Upon hearing Jing Tian's words, Jing Liang couldn't help but twitch his lips twice, then looked around the room.

Haha, my dear sister! Since we've invited Governor Qi over, I have to cook at least a couple of dishes myself, right? We can't let him come all this way just to eat this local cold food, that would be too much! Besides, you're on vacation right now, so you don't have anything urgent to do. Let's take our time and prepare properly. I'll also learn some new recipes and try to surprise Governor Qi, making our gathering even more perfect. What do you say?

Chapter 514 The Two Newly Appointed Vice Governors

Upon hearing this, Jing Tian's face immediately fell. He had rushed over to have dinner with Qi Tongwei, and hadn't even gone to see his grandfather, Jing Gangshan.

My older brother doesn't seem normal at all; he looks like a fool.

Oh dear, brother, are you planning something big? Actually, just cooking a couple of simple home-style dishes would be fine. The main point of our get-together is to have fun and create a good atmosphere. Why make it so complicated? Keeping things simple and relaxed is more in line with the purpose of our get-together! Please don't make things too difficult for yourself, okay?

Upon hearing this, Jing Liang felt that his younger sister seemed to care about him quite a bit, but he knew very well that his sister actually just wanted to see Qi Tongwei as soon as possible.

He couldn't understand what was wrong with his sister. He could understand why she didn't hate Qi Tongwei after he released her, but he couldn't understand why she was so eager to see him.

Oh, my dear sister! Governor Qi Tongwei is a big shot in our Handong Province! Inviting him to our home for dinner is no small matter; it's about showing him respect and sincerity. Therefore, we must prepare carefully and not be impolite, understand? We must present our best selves so that Governor Qi can feel our family's warmth and sincerity!

Upon hearing this, Jing Tian became unhappy and began packing his clothes.

My own brother is an idiot; he does everything like a fool!

Alright, alright! Go ahead and do your thing, brother! Wait until you've become a Michelin-starred chef before inviting Qi Tongwei over for dinner! I don't have time to deal with this now, I need to pack my clothes, so hurry up and leave, don't bother me here, really!

Jingliang was astonished by his sister's sudden change of expression. What happened? Had he said something wrong?

Sigh, alright, alright, then you can pack your things properly. I'm leaving now, I won't bother you anymore, my little princess. I just can't do anything with you, you're always like this. But whatever, you're my little sister, so I'll spoil you!

After saying that, Jing Liang smiled, closed the door, and walked out.

Jing Tian looked back in the direction Jing Liang had left and couldn't help but spit.

And you still pamper me? What are you pampering me for?! You're just a big, clueless idiot!

In the conference room of the provincial government building in Handong Province.

Minister Cheng, the Minister of Organization of Xia State, is announcing a resolution.

Comrades, on behalf of the senior leadership of Xia State, I hereby announce two important appointment decisions. First, after comprehensive consideration and careful selection, it has been decided that Comrade Zheng Gang, the former Executive Deputy Director of the Police Department of Handong Province, will serve as the Vice Governor of Handong Province in charge of police affairs, and concurrently as the Director of the Police Department of Handong Province. Comrade Zheng Gang has demonstrated outstanding performance and rich experience in police work, and I believe he will continue to leverage his expertise in his new position to contribute to the stability and security of Handong Province.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Zheng Gang, who was present at the scene. Everyone knew that this was Qi Tongwei's idea.

No one expected that Qi Tongwei had become so influential that he could recommend candidates for vice governor.

Previously, Qi Tongwei could only decide the appointment and removal of cadres below the deputy provincial level in Handong Province. How come now he has a say even in cadres at the deputy provincial level?

Zheng Gang was very excited. He used to rely on his father-in-law, Old Master He, but now that Old Master He had fallen from power, he had the opportunity to become the vice governor because of Qi Tongwei's promotion.

Thinking of this, Zheng Gang glanced at the vice governors present and felt a surge of secret joy.

Then, the voice of Minister Cheng, the Minister of the Organization Department of Xia State, continued to come through.

"Secondly, in view of Comrade Lü Jingmin's outstanding performance and remarkable achievements during his tenure as Director of the Handong Provincial Security Inspection Bureau, it has been decided to promote him to Vice Governor of Handong Province in charge of the economy. Comrade Lü Jingmin not only has strong professional skills, but also a forward-looking economic vision and solid management ability. His appointment will surely inject new vitality and impetus into the economic development of Handong Province."

Everyone present turned pale instantly. The two newly appointed vice governors of Handong Province were both from Qi Tongwei's faction. What did this prove? Wasn't it obvious enough?

Request flowers

Qi Tongwei is now gaining more and more trust from above, and his influence in Handong is growing!

Zhang Baoming, the vice governor of Handong Province in charge of work safety, felt somewhat embarrassed at this moment.

Previously, he had even wanted Qi Tongwei to replace Lü Jingmin because Lü Jingmin did not respect him enough.

Now look what's happened; Lü Jingmin has actually been promoted directly to the position of vice governor.

This made me feel very awkward.

Lu Jingmin had a smile on his face. Thinking back to those days, if he hadn't changed course in time and followed Qi Tongwei, he would have sunk with Sun Huashan long ago.

... ..... 0

Even if Sun Huashan had extraordinary abilities, he could not possibly have promoted himself to the position of vice governor in charge of the province's economy.

Lu Jingmin was truly grateful that he had chosen to follow Qi Tongwei and become a member of the Qi family gang. This decision had really changed his destiny!

Then, Minister Cheng of the Organization Department of Xia State continued.

"I hope that both comrades, in their new positions, will remain true to their original aspirations and keep their mission firmly in mind, continuing to carry forward the spirit of hard work and courage to take responsibility, and making greater contributions to the prosperity and development of Handong Province and even the Xia Kingdom. At the same time, I also request that leaders at all levels throughout the province give them their full support and cooperation, so as to jointly promote all undertakings in Handong Province to a new level. Thank you all!"

As soon as Minister Cheng finished speaking, enthusiastic applause erupted in the room.

Qi Tongwei glanced at Zhong Xiaoai, who was listening attentively and writing something down.

Without Zhong Xiaoai, there would have been no chance to push the Qi family gang to the position of vice governor of Handong Province.

Thinking about this, Qi Tongwei felt that Zhong Xiaoai was perfect in his eyes, no matter what.

However, Qi Tongwei noticed that Zhong Xiaoai was still writing intently without looking up.

Qi Tongwei was quite certain that this little girl wasn't taking notes seriously. More than 80% of the time, her enthusiasm for practicing calligraphy hadn't worn off yet, and she was probably just copying something else.

Chapter 515 Zhong Xiaoai Bewitched Again

Thinking of this, Qi Tongwei pursed his lips helplessly, and then spoke into the microphone.

"Oh, Minister Cheng, your visit has truly brought warmth like a spring breeze to our Handong Province! I, Qi Tongwei, as the governor of Handong Province, must express our deepest gratitude to you and the Organization Department of Xia State on behalf of our provincial government. Handong has always been a solid bastion that listens to and follows the leadership of the Xia State. We firmly support and unconditionally endorse the appointment decision made by the Xia State leadership this time!"

Yes, that's right. The arrival of Comrade Zheng Gang and Comrade Lü Jingmin is a stroke of good fortune for us, a testament to the organization's great care and affection for our work in Handong. These two new comrades are pillars of society, carefully selected through rigorous screening. I, "680," firmly believe that their addition will inject fresh blood into our work in Handong Province, bringing a new atmosphere and driving new development.

In Handong, we've always valued unity and concerted efforts for development. Now, with the addition of comrades Zheng Gang and Lü Jingmin, our team is even more complete and stronger. I, Qi Tongwei, hereby pledge to fully cooperate with and support the work of our two new comrades, and together contribute Handong's strength to the prosperity and development of Handong, and to the flourishing of the Xia Kingdom!

Upon hearing Qi Tongwei's words, a round of applause immediately erupted from the audience.

Everyone has witnessed just how much weight Qi Tongwei's words now carry.

Just then, Qi Tongwei glanced in the direction of his wife, Zhong Xiaoai, and saw that she was writing furiously with her head down.

After hearing Qi Tongwei's words, she looked up at him, and for a moment when their eyes met, she tilted her head and smiled at him.

Minister Cheng of the Organization Department of Xia State was waiting for Qi Tongwei to let the two newly appointed comrades speak, but he found that Qi Tongwei was looking at Zhong Xiaoai with a smile on his face.
