A man in Handong: living off Zhong Xiaoai

"So, my dear daughter, being close to the water tower gives you an advantage! Do you see if there's any possibility of recommending your father to this Director Qi? If your father has a chance to meet Director Qi, and given your close relationship with him, wouldn't your father have a better chance of getting into the ministry?"

Zhou Shutong listened for a while, and this time she really took it to heart.

"So, how many days are you staying in Jingzhou this time?"

"I don't mind staying for a few days. As long as you contact Director Qi, I can drive over from Jinhai anytime!"

At this point, Liu Changyong looked around and then at the mountain of small umbrellas.

"I wonder if Director Qi will come over tonight?"

Hearing Liu Changyong's words, Zhou Shutong pursed her lips.

"When Director Qi arrives and opens the door, will it be appropriate for him to see an old man here?"

"What's there to be afraid of? I'm your father, what's the big deal?"

"Director Qi had been drinking and came to me in high spirits to have some fun. But when he opened the door, the first thing he saw was you, you old geezer. Tell me, do you think Director Qi will be a spoilsport?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Changyong quickly checked his watch.

"Yes! Daughter, you're right! I'd better hurry up and go, lest Director Qi really comes!"

As Liu Changyong spoke, he walked towards the gate.

Of course, he never forgot to turn back and give instructions during this time.

"Don't forget! When you meet Director Qi, be sure to recommend Dad! It would be best to give Dad a chance to meet Director Qi in person!"

Zhou Shutong once again put on an impatient look.

"Okay, okay, let's go now, you're so annoying!"

Zhou Shutong wanted to drive Liu Changyong away not because she was afraid that Qi Tongwei would see him when he came over.

Although Zhou Shutong also hoped that her father could do better.

However, when she saw her father, looking so snobbish, she felt genuinely disgusted.

Inside a luxurious private room at Yang Mi's villa.

Lei Fuhong was introducing Qi Tongwei to the people around him.

"This is Director Qi, the son-in-law of Elder Zhong, whom I often mention to you. Our Lei family's business in the mainland is all taken care of by Director Qi."

As soon as Lei Fuhong finished speaking, all sorts of people at the scene began to praise Qi Tongwei.

"This is Elder Zhong's son-in-law!"

"He is truly a handsome man!"

"If we Hung Hing can also get along with such important figures, we won't have to worry about business in the future."

"That's right, Haonan. Talk less and listen more."

"I understand, Brother B."

Lei Fuhong smiled as he listened to the commotion.

"Director Qi, the last time we met you were still Director Qi. In the blink of an eye, you've been promoted to Director Qi?"

Yang Mi stood to the side, a smug look on his face.

"What's this? Tong Wei is only a temporary director-general level official right now, just a transitional position. In a couple of days, a new document will be issued, and Tong Wei will be officially appointed to a ministry!"

Upon hearing Yang Mi's words, the crowd erupted in another chorus of praise.

"How old are they? They're already getting into the department?"

"When I was Director Qi's age, I was still watching Da Lei in nightclubs in Causeway Bay."

"Hahaha, you think you can compare to Director Qi? His father-in-law is Old Zhong, and what is your father-in-law?"

"His father-in-law is Ji Gong!"

"Hahahaha!"

Qi Tongwei smiled as he listened to the voices of the crowd.

This table is quite impressive; everyone here looks like a celebrity.

Qi Tongwei looked at Lei Fuhong.

"Young Master Lei, where is Ruilong? Didn't he come back with you?"

Chapter 80: Here, who gets to eat is up to me!

Lei Fuhong smiled after hearing Qi Tongwei's words.

"Ruilong went to South Africa; it seems he's got his hands on some kind of diamond mine there!"

Upon hearing Lei Fuhong's words, Qi Tongwei's lips twitched involuntarily.

In the original series, wasn't this the kind of work Tom Din did?

After running away to South Africa, he worked hard to open a diamond mine, only to be shot in the head.

After saying this, Lei Fuhong looked at the person next to him with a smile.

Then he began to introduce himself.

"This is our Sanlian Gang's strategist, Jin Shijie, also known as Master Jin."

After hearing Lei Fuhong introduce himself, Jin Ye put his hands together in greeting to Qi Tongwei.

"Director Qi, you can just call me Lao Jin!"

Qi Tongwei smiled and nodded to Master Jin.

Lei Fuhong then looked at the people next to Master Jin.

"This is Zhao Shanhe, the leader of the Viper Hall under our Sanlian Gang, nicknamed 'Chicken'."

Pheasant smiled and waved to Qi Tongwei.

"Director Qi, you can just call me Little Chicken!"

Immediately afterwards, Lei Fuhong shifted his gaze to the other side.

"Director Qi, I would like to introduce this person in detail. He is Mr. Jiang Tiansheng, the person in charge of the Hong Kong Hung Hing Gang."

As soon as Lei Fuhong finished speaking, Jiang Tiansheng stood up and extended his right hand to Qi Tongwei with a smile.

"Director Qi, it is a great honor to meet you!"

Qi Tongwei also stood up with a smile and shook hands with Jiang Tiansheng.

Lei Fuhong then continued his introduction.

"This is Mr. Jiang's capable henchman, Brother B."

Brother B smiled and waved to Qi Tongwei.

"Director Qi, just call me A-B!"

Then, Lei Fuhong pointed to the person next to Brother B.

"This is Brother B's prized student, named Chan Ho-nam."

Upon hearing Lei Fuhong introduce himself, Chan Ho-nam immediately stood up.

"Director Qi, hello, my name is Chen Haonan."

Unlike Chiang Tin-sang, Chan Ho-nam did not extend his hand to shake hands with Kei Tong-wai.

Instead, he bowed respectfully to Qi Tongwei.

Then, with a smile on his face, he sat down.

Then, Lei Fuhong pointed to the other people at the table.

"Director Qi, the rest of the people are some of the younger generation from our Sanlian Gang and Hung Hing Gang. They've come out with us to broaden their horizons."

Qi Tongwei looked at these people and took a deep breath.

Lei Fuhong has assembled such a prestigious group of people; he probably isn't here to find Yang Mi to make a movie.

"Young Master Lei, you've introduced me to so many important friends today. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Director Qi, we are actually cooperating with the Hung Hing gang in Hong Kong. During our negotiations, Mr. Jiang learned that our Lei family has some business in the mainland, and that thanks to Director Qi's support and foresight, our e-commerce business is doing very well in the mainland. Therefore, Mr. Jiang would like to take this opportunity to see if we can find some entry points for cooperation."

Qi Tongwei understood; this meant that Lei Fuhong's Sanlian Gang and Jiang Tiansheng's Hongxing were discussing business.

As they talked, Jiang Tiansheng saw that Lei Fuhong had made a lot of money in the mainland and became envious, so he also wanted to get involved in the mainland business.

“Mr. Jiang, if you are interested in investing in business in mainland China, I have an idea.”

Upon hearing Qi Tongwei's words, Jiang Tiansheng's eyes lit up.

Everyone knows that Qi Tongwei has a lot of influence in the mainland.

His father-in-law was a man who could decide the fate of many people.

Gangs like Hung Hing are naturally conspicuous.

Even if they do business honestly in the inland areas, they will still face rejection from others.

However, now that they have Qi Tongwei's support, they can do any business they want.

Basically, everything will go smoothly.

"Director Qi, what kind of businesses do you have that we could invest in?"

"Our ancestors had an old saying, 'Food is the first necessity of the people,' so I think we can definitely choose this path."

After hearing Qi Tongwei's words, Big B said with a smile.

"Does Director Qi mean for us to invest in a restaurant in Handong?"

As he spoke, Brother B looked around at the environment inside the private room where they were.

"Just like Miss Yang Mi's film and television resort?"

Qi Tongwei smiled.

"Since Young Master Lei just said that I should point out the direction of the trend, then it certainly won't be focused on the real economy. So when I said that food is the most important thing for people, I didn't mean the traditional food industry."

Hearing this, Jiang Tiansheng seemed quite interested.
