A man in Handong: living off Zhong Xiaoai

　273 Zhou Shutong nodded shyly after hearing Qi Tongwei's words.

"hope!"

Qi Tongwei smiled and picked up the teacup in front of him.

He said it very casually.

"The deputy director position at the Guangming District Branch of the Jingzhou Public Security Bureau is a deputy division-level position, and there happens to be a vacancy there. You can take the job."

Upon hearing Qi Tongwei's words, Liu Changyong stood up excitedly.

"Director Qi, can I really go to the Guangming District Branch of the Public Security Bureau in Jingzhou City as the deputy director?"

Although this deputy director of the Guangming District Branch is only a deputy division chief.

But just like if you're a deputy director in a government agency, you might just be a clerk.

But once you get to the county level, you become the deputy county head.

Similarly, this deputy director of the Guangming District Police Station, within the police force...

In particular, the deputy division chief level is a very prestigious position.

“The deputy director of Guangming District is a city-level cadre, so it’s fine. I’m quite familiar with the organization minister of Jingzhou (cgbh), so I’ll put in a good word for him. There won’t be any problem.”

Qi Tongwei wasn't talking nonsense, although not many people in Handong Province knew who Qi Tongwei's backer really was.

However, everyone knows that Qi Tongwei has powerful backers.

This powerful figure is at least Zhao Lichun, the provincial party secretary.

Therefore, as long as it involves the appointment of cadres within the police system of Handong Province, Qi Tongwei only needs to be able to draft a list.

Let alone the organization minister of the city, even the provincial ones would generally give Qi Tongwei face.

To put it bluntly, Qi Tongwei has a lot of influence in Handong Province because of Zhao Lichun.

After receiving confirmation from Qi Tongwei, Liu Changyong was extremely excited.

He was so happy that he stood up.

"Director Qi, from now on I will be your most loyal soldier! Wherever you point, I will fight! Whatever you ask me to do, I will do!"

Qi Tongwei saw a new entry above Liu Changyong's head: "Qi Family Gang Member (Gold)".

Now things are much better; Qi Tongwei's Qi family gang has grown to include two more members.

Qi Tongwei smiled.

"Sit down. Your age is not a problem. I will focus on training you!"

Upon hearing Qi Tongwei's words, Liu Changyong's mouth was practically agape with a wide grin.

However, Zhou Shutong, who was standing next to Liu Changyong, looked even more embarrassed at this moment.

My father was already going too far enough, what is he saying now?

Qi Tongwei saw Zhou Shutong with her head down and an unusually conflicted expression, and asked with a smile.

"What's wrong? Zhou Shutong, your father got promoted, why do you look so troubled? Aren't you happy?"

Zhou Shutong blushed after hearing Qi Tongwei's words.

"No, I just think what my dad said was too embarrassing..."

Upon hearing Zhou Shutong's words, Liu Changyong immediately responded.

"My dear child, you should bravely express your true feelings. Let me tell you, leaders love to hear the truth. You should be like me and speak the truth more often!"

When Qi Tongwei heard Liu Changyong's words of instruction to his daughter, he couldn't help but twitch his lips twice.

This Liu Changyong has ingrained the skill of flattery into his very being, elevating it to the level of his very soul.

On the other side of Handong Province, Chen Haonan's henchman, Da Tian Er, was in Chen Haonan's room.

"Brother Nan, should we go and inform Mr. Jiang right away?"

Chen Haonan looked at the photo of Yang Xiaobei in her uniform in his hand, his face extremely ugly.

"Was your sister-in-law a police officer before?"

Da Tian Er nodded.

"Brother Nan, I never imagined that Sister-in-law was actually an undercover agent sent from the mainland to our side."

Chan Ho-nam stared at the photo for a long time, lost in thought.

"Da Tian Er, have you told anyone about this?"

"Brother Nan, I came to report to you as soon as I got the photos. I haven't told anyone else yet."

Chan Ho-nam nodded.

"Let's keep this to ourselves for now, and don't tell Brother B either."

Da Tian Er was somewhat surprised after hearing Chen Haonan's words.

"Brother Nan, why is that?"

“For the past two years, our Hung Hing has been suppressed by Tung Sing in everything we do. This time, we came to the mainland with Lei Fu Hong to seek cooperation with Director Qi. This is our only chance to turn the tables. If we tell Mr. Chiang about Sister-in-law’s past now, he will definitely terminate the cooperation with Director Qi in a fit of anger. If that happens, we will have no chance to defeat Tung Sing.”

After hearing Chen Haonan's words, Da Tian Er nodded slightly, but he immediately put on a puzzled expression.

"But Brother Nan, if your sister-in-law is an undercover agent from the mainland, wouldn't it be very dangerous to leave her with Mr. Jiang?"

"Which undercover agent would fire a shot in this direction?"

As he spoke, Chan Ho-nam pointed to his head with his finger.

"Furthermore, our area isn't under the jurisdiction of the inland police. Why would they go to such lengths to plant an undercover agent next to Mr. Jiang? Even if, hypothetically, your sister-in-law really is an undercover agent, Director Qi is still willing to do business with us. His purpose in keeping this undercover agent is certainly not for public good, but for private gain."

"In a business partnership, is it really necessary to deliberately plant a mole next to the other party?"

“That’s right. Moreover, my sister-in-law knew Mr. Jiang first, and we cooperated with Director Qi later, so no matter how you look at it, my sister-in-law doesn’t seem like an undercover agent.”

"Brother Nan, if that's the case, why not just explain it to Mr. Jiang directly?"

“Mr. Jiang is inherently suspicious. If we tell him about this, it will only ruin this deal and won’t do us any good. Da Tian Er, don’t forget, Lei Fu Hong was introduced to Mr. Jiang by Shan Ji. If Mr. Jiang acts impulsively because of his sister-in-law, it won’t just be us who will lose face in the end, but Shan Ji will too!”

Da Tian Er nodded, but his expression remained solemn.

"Brother Nan, if we keep this from Mr. Jiang and he finds out, the consequences will be very serious!"

After hearing what Da Tian Er said, Chen Haonan took a deep breath.

"I know that if there are any consequences in the end, I'll bear them alone!"

Chapter 85 Tongwei, your appointment to the department was approved at the meeting.

Inside the office of Liu Linzong, Vice Governor of Handong Province, in the compound of the provincial government.

Qi Tongwei smiled and looked at Liu Linzong in front of him.

"Governor Liu, what can I do for you?"

Liu Linzong looked at Qi Tongwei with a beaming smile.

"Tongwei, I have good news for you! Your appointment as a deputy provincial-level official is coming soon!"

Upon hearing Liu Linzong's words, Qi Tongwei admitted that he was indeed delighted.

In the original drama, it was a hurdle that I never managed to overcome in my entire life.

What? Is it really going to happen now?

Am I about to join the department?

"Really? Governor, I've never really been prepared for this. Whether I get promoted to the vice-provincial level or not isn't important. My biggest goal has always been to do my job well."

"Tongwei, you need to work hard, but you also need to consider your personal life when the time comes. Let me give you a heads-up: your position as vice governor was voted on at the provincial party committee meeting yesterday. Remember, I voted for you."

Liu Linzong's words seemed harmless at first glance, but the fact that he had voted for Liu made Qi Tongwei realize that Liu was doing him a favor.

Even so, Qi Tongwei was still very happy.

After all, in the original drama, the Han Dong Provincial Party Committee, led by Sha Ruijin, directly froze their own channels for advancement.

Not only did he not give himself a chance, but he also brought up his old scandals at the provincial party committee meeting and made fun of them as gossip.

Qi Tongwei now feels very uncomfortable when he thinks about the scene of those people talking about him and laughing loudly.

“Governor Liu, you have always been kind to me and have nurtured me. I will never forget that.”

Although Qi Tongwei said that, he knew perfectly well what was going on in his heart.

I don't know Zhong Xiaoai, who is now lying at home and often can't close her legs.

How did I get to where I am today?!

If it weren't for Zhong Xiaoai, I would have been assigned to some judicial office and retired long ago after graduation.

Hearing Qi Tongwei say this, Liu Linzong took a deep breath and said with a smile.

"Tongwei, since we're about to be working together, let me make some things clear to you."

"Governor Liu, is there anything you need?"

"Our Handong Province has experienced tremendous economic development over the years, a fact that our Xia Kingdom's top leaders have witnessed firsthand."

"Yes, the growth of our Handong economic index over the years is inseparable from your and Secretary Lichun's contributions."

Upon hearing Zhao Lichun's name, Liu Linzong's expression underwent a subtle change.

His smile seemed to have become more serious.

“Tongwei, since you’ve mentioned Secretary Lichun, I won’t keep it from you anymore. Secretary Lichun has been in charge of Handong for many years, and he often says that Handong Province’s economic growth can never be separated from the contributions from the grassroots.”

As Qi Tongwei listened to Liu Linzong's words, he sensed that Liu was implying something.

Then, seeing that Qi Tongwei was still listening attentively, Liu Linzong continued.

"Many villages played an important role in this! For example, Tazhai, which has been awarded the title of Model Village for Drug Control for seven consecutive years. Just that one village has made a huge economic contribution to Handong."

Upon hearing the name "Tazhai," Qi Tongwei's expression instantly turned sour.

"Governor Liu, I've also learned about the situation in Tazhai. It seems to be somewhat complicated. I wonder if you have a thorough understanding of their specific circumstances?"

Liu Linzong smiled and waved his hand as he listened to Qi Tongwei's words.
