A man in Handong: living off Zhong Xiaoai

At this moment, Zhou Shutong noticed that Guan Hongyu's eyes were fixed on her hands.

Zhou Shutong took a deep breath and said something.

"I was just trying to use the glue on Director Qi's desk to stick my socks back on, since I don't like to waste things."

After saying that, Zhou Shutong didn't care whether Guan Hongyu believed her or not, and ran out of Qi Tongwei's room without looking back.

Guan Hongyu was dumbfounded when he saw this.

Qi Tongwei was also embarrassed when he saw this.

He cleared his throat subconsciously.

"Cough cough!"

After hearing Qi Tongwei cough, Guan Hongyu came to his senses.

He shifted his gaze from Zhou Shutong's departing figure to Qi Tongwei.

"Director Qi, what brings you here?"

Chapter 88 My old classmate from the labor and management department became the vice governor.

Qi Tongwei smiled and looked at Guan Hongyu, who was still somewhat surprised.

Qi Tongwei noticed that Guan Hongyu had a tag above his head that read "[Qi Family Gang Candidate (Gold)]".

“Hongyu, you’ve been with the provincial department for a while now. You’re also a former member of the armed police, so your qualifications are quite good. I’ve heard that my promotion to vice-provincial level has been decided, and the official document will be issued in the next couple of days.”

Guan Hongyu seemed very pleased to hear Qi Tongwei's words.

"Director Qi, this is wonderful."

Qi Tongwei smiled and waved his hand, interrupting Guan Hongyu.

He continued.

"According to regulations, once I become vice governor, I'm entitled to a secretary. Hongyu, aren't you interested in coming to my side?"

Being a secretary to a provincial or ministerial-level leader is actually an absolutely desirable job.

In my daily life, aside from having to watch the mood of my own boss...

Even the officials at the bureau level or above have to be very polite when they meet the secretaries of these leaders.

In addition, and most importantly, those who work as secretaries to leaders generally get promoted relatively quickly.

In just a few years, they'll become deputy director and then director, until they stop being secretaries and leave their superiors' side.

They are usually assigned to an important position, just like Li Dakang and Liu Xinjian in the original drama.

One became the top official in Jingzhou City, and the other became a powerful figure in a state-owned enterprise.

Therefore, Qi Tongwei's offer of such an olive branch was undoubtedly a great opportunity for Guan Hongyu.

As Qi Tongwei expected, Guan Hongyu seemed very happy at this moment.

"Director Qi, I will follow your instructions!"

Qi Tongwei smiled and nodded.

"Okay, it's settled then!"

As he spoke, Qi Tongwei noticed that the entry above Guan Hongyu's head had changed.

The previous "Qi Family Gang Candidate (Gold)" has disappeared and has been replaced by "Qi Family Gang Member (Gold)".

Now, Qi Tongwei's Qi family gang already has three people.

As for the matter of Tazhai, Qi Tongwei has no intention of getting involved now.

It's not that Qi Tongwei was afraid to confront them head-on.

Qi Tongwei didn't want to be like Hou Liangping, digging up other people's ancestral graves to advance his own future.

Of course, this does not mean that Qi Tongwei is without principles or a sense of justice.

The main reason was that Qi Tongwei felt the time was not right and it was not the time to act rashly.

A few days later, inside the Hukou City Procuratorate, Qi Tongwei's old classmate Feng Liang was reading the newspaper in his office.

A striking headline in the Handong Provincial Daily immediately caught Feng Liang's attention.

With the approval of the higher-level organization department, Comrade Qi Tongwei was appointed as the Vice Governor of Handong Province and the Director of the Provincial Police Department.

Then, Feng Liang stared wide-eyed at the photos on the news.

Could it really be my old classmate, Qi Tongwei?!

My father was the vice mayor of Hukou City, which is why I found this job at the Hukou City Procuratorate.

I've been working hard here for so many years, and I haven't even gotten to the rank of deputy section chief, while Qi Tongwei has already become the vice governor.

In the Xia Kingdom, officials at the vice-provincial level and above are considered centrally managed cadres, meaning they are cadres directly managed by the Organization Department of the State.

To put it bluntly, Qi Tongwei is already a high-ranking official.

Upon seeing this, Feng Liang gasped.

He took out his phone and called Li Lun, another roommate from his university days.

An elegant ringtone came through the phone, followed by, "Sweet, sweet, sweet love."

The call finally went through.

"Hey? Brother Liang, what made you think of calling me?"

"Li Lun, it's been a long time! How are you?"

"It's alright... I'm just getting by every day now."

Feng Liang heard Li Lun's dejected voice coming from the phone.

"Brother, are you still at Dafeng Factory?"

"Yeah, I heard that Dafeng Factory is going to be privatized soon, and my secure job may be gone."

"What do you mean? You're going to lose your job?"

"you do not say!"

Hearing this, Feng Liang felt that his opportunity had come, because he had his own purpose in calling Li Lun this time.

"Li Lun, why don't you hurry up and find someone? Transfer them out before Dafeng Factory is privatized!"

After hearing Feng Liang's words, Li Lun's dejected voice continued to come through the phone.

"Brother Liang, don't even mention it. No one in our family has ever been an official. Who can we ask? We don't have any connections..."

Feng Liang knew, of course, that no one was home at Li Lun's house. He said this to set the stage for what he was about to say.

"Brother, don't be so discouraged. Didn't you read today's newspaper?"

"Today's newspaper? What's wrong? Did a windfall fall from the sky?"

"More or less! Do you have today's Handong Provincial Daily on hand?"

"Yes, I have."

"Look quickly, it's the front page headline of today's Handong Provincial Daily!"

As soon as Feng Liang finished speaking, the sound of Li Lun flipping through a newspaper came through the phone.

Immediately afterward, Li Lun let out a gasp of surprise on the phone.

"What?! Brother Qi has become the vice governor?"

Li Lun's voice was loud at this moment, even though he didn't have much status at Dafeng Factory.

So, I share an office with many other people.

Upon hearing this shout, everyone looked at Li Lun with impatience.

"Are you out of your mind?"

"He's called Qi, the newly appointed vice governor in the newspaper!"

"It's no use him calling me 'Dad,' does he even know him?"

"Hahaha! Well said, this Li Lun is shameless."

At this moment, Li Lun heard those people talking about him.

However, he can't worry about that now.

He rubbed his eyes and looked at the headlines and photos in the newspaper again.

"Brother Qi! It really is Brother Qi! Our Brother Qi has finally made it through the tough times?"

Feng Liang smiled knowingly at this moment.

"Yeah! Li Lun, the three of us were roommates back then. For four years of college, we shared the same rice bowl!"

"Yes, back then, Brother Qi's family was poor, and I often used my own meal card to get food for him."

"Me too back then. I'd share some of the things my dad sent me with Tongwei. Li Lun, now that our old classmate has finally made it, why are we still doing this lousy job? Let's go find our old classmate. What if Tongwei remembers us? Wouldn't it be better if we followed him?! (Zhao Hao)"

Li Lun was also extremely excited after hearing Feng Liang's words.

"Yeah! Let's go find Brother Qi! I'm quitting this damn job! My buddies have finally made it, and I'm still stuck here eating shit!"

After hearing Li Lun's words, everyone in the office finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"Li Lun, keep your voice down!"

"That's right. It's one thing if you don't want to work, but you're also making a lot of noise here and disturbing our work."

"Honestly, don't they have any sense of public morality? They're not only unmotivated, but they also affect others!"

Everyone was talking at once, which finally caught the attention of the head of the legal department at Dafeng Factory, who came to the door.

After he understood what everyone was saying, he wore a cold expression.

He pointed at Li Lun and said.

"Li Lun, what are you yelling about? You're useless all day long, and you've just been wasting your youth at work. Now you dare to chat on the phone during work hours? I'm warning you, Li Lun, hang up on me right now!"
