A man in Handong: living off Zhong Xiaoai

"Chang Hong, how long have you been in Hukou City? With just a word from Qi Tongwei, you could easily get a ministerial position before you retire. And what about Duoduo? Do you want her to spend her whole life living with you in a small city? With Qi Tongwei as her backer, she'll be able to do whatever she wants in Xia Country in the future. Why are you ruining your own and your daughter's future and happiness? This is something so many people would kill for!"

Upon hearing Sun Huashan's words, Chang Hong, who was about to lead her daughter away, suddenly didn't know what to do.

It seems like my legs suddenly stopped obeying my commands.

Sun Duoduo looked at her mother's change in surprise.

"Mom, what's wrong? Let's go!"

Sun Huashan was smitten when he saw Chang Hong, and stood up with a smile.

"Chang Hong, don't hesitate. I don't think you and Duo Duo need to go back to Hukou City. Take Duo Duo around Jingzhou for the next couple of days. I'll try to arrange a meeting with Qi Tongwei as soon as possible. When you meet, won't that be a chance to change your life? This is a great opportunity to leap over the dragon gate and turn from a pheasant into a phoenix! Chang Hong, think about it, how many times in your life will you encounter such an opportunity?"

To be honest, Sun Huashan's words actually touched Chang Hong.

Chang Hong and Sun Huashan were classmates, and she had a crush on Sun Huashan when they were young.

In the end, Sun Huashan deceived himself and married a woman from a better family background than himself, who is now Sun Huashan's wife.

Later, she married a sickly man, and before she knew it, half of her life had passed.

In fact, Chang Hong was originally from Jingzhou, while Sun Huashan was from out of town.

As a result, fearing that his wife would take her anger out on him, Sun Huashan insisted on transferring himself to the small city of Hukou.

Because of this, his daughter did not receive much of a good education when she was young.

Sun Duoduo saw her mother hesitate and became very anxious.

"Mom, what's there to hesitate about? Just reject him!"

Upon hearing Sun Duoduo's words, Chang Hong suddenly shouted at her daughter.

"Shut up! What do you know? Whatever decision Mom makes is for your own good!"

Seeing this, Sun Huashan seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

"Chang Hong, have you thought this through? How about I make an appointment with Governor Qi? This is a win-win situation."

Sun Duoduo felt a little wronged when she heard her mother yelling at her.

After thinking for a long time, Chang Hong turned to look at Sun Huashan.

"You made an appointment with Governor Qi, tell me."

"Okay! No problem!"

With Sun Huashan smiling, Chang Hong led her daughter away.

In Qi Tongwei's office at the Police Department of Handong Province.

At this moment, Xu Xinde, the president of Handong University, was in Qi Tongwei's office.

"Governor Qi, I was just passing by today on some business and thought I'd stop by your office. As a prominent figure at our university, you are a role model for the entire Handong University!"

Qi Tongwei smiled as he listened to Xu Xinde's words.

"President Xu, you're too kind. We're all graduates of Handong University. No matter where we go, we'll always be your students, our former president."

"Not at all, Governor Qi, you're too kind!"

"Principal Xu, may I ask what business you're going there to take care of this time?"

"Oh! It's graduation season at our school again, and the students are about to be assigned jobs. I'm going to help some graduating students with some paperwork."

Upon hearing Xu Xinde's words, Qi Tongwei realized that Hou Liangping and Zhong Xiaoai's class of students was about to graduate.

Thinking of this, Qi Tongwei asked.

"Principal Xu, I remember a student in our school named Hou Liangping. I wonder where he was assigned?"

Chapter Ninety-Four: Mom, what has Liangping done for you?

Upon hearing Qi Tongwei's question, Xu Xinde carefully opened his briefcase and handed a document to Qi Tongwei.

"Governor Qi, this is a detailed table of job assignments for our school's graduates this year. Please take a look!"

Qi Tongwei took the form and smiled.

"Principal Xu, this form?"

Upon hearing Qi Tongwei say this, Xu Xinde immediately understood what it meant.

"Governor Qi, this form is a photocopy. If you need it, we can keep a copy for you."

Qi Tongwei smiled as he looked at the form in his hand.

Zhong Xiaoai, General Office of the Provincial Party Committee, Provincial Party Committee Inspection Office, at the level of a section chief.

Yes, Zhong Xiaoai's storyline has diverged significantly from the original drama.

Zhong Xiaoai originally wanted to return to Kyoto, but she felt that Qi Tongwei's career was just starting to take off and she didn't want to hold him back.

Although Kyoto is a municipality directly under the central government, the deputy mayor of Kyoto holds a position equivalent to a vice-ministerial level official.

Moreover, the top official in Kyoto has already reached the level of vice-cabinet leader.

However, Zhong Xiaoai felt that Qi Tongwei had feelings for Handong, so for Qi Tongwei's sake, Zhong Xiaoai decided to stay in Handong.

That's how the work allocation is structured now.

To be honest, Qi Tongwei's success today is entirely due to Zhong Xiaoai.

Although it's true that he relied on the system, Qi Tongwei is also a person with a conscience.

He was still very grateful to Zhong Xiaoai for being so well-behaved and sensible, and for accommodating him.

Even if Zhong Xiaoai did this because she was influenced by the system.

After reviewing Zhong Xiaoai's assignment, Qi Tongwei continued reading and soon found what he wanted to see most.

Hou Liangping, Jinghai Municipal Political and Legal Committee, Law Enforcement Supervision Division, no official rank.

Upon seeing this, Qi Tongwei's expression suddenly turned somewhat unpleasant.

He raised his head and looked at Xu Xinde.

"Who arranged for Hou Liangping to work at the Jinghai Municipal Political and Legal Affairs Commission?"

After hearing Qi Tongwei's words, Xu Xinde thought for a moment.

"Hou Liangping's job wasn't originally assigned this way. It seems that Gao Yuliang called to ask for him, so he was assigned to the Jinghai Political and Legal Committee."

At this point, Xu Xinde noticed that Qi Tongwei's expression was somewhat unpleasant, so he asked cautiously.

"What's wrong, Governor Qi? Is there a problem with this arrangement?"

Qi Tongwei smiled.

“I’ve heard feedback from some teachers that Hou Liangping’s academic performance is very poor and his foundational knowledge is not solid enough. Of course, I’m not the vice governor in charge of education; I’m only in charge of the judicial system. However, I suggest that Hou Liangping repeat a year and participate in the job assignment process next year.”

Upon hearing Qi Tongwei's words, Xu Xinde was stunned for a moment.

He didn't react for a moment and opened his mouth wide.

Hou Liangping looked at Xu Xinde, who was staring in disbelief, and continued to smile.

"Principal Xu, I was just making a suggestion. If it's inappropriate, just pretend I didn't say anything."

As Qi Tongwei spoke, he placed the form regarding job assignments for graduates of Handong University aside.

Xu Xinde took a long time to react before smiling and saying...

“Governor Qi, I have also heard about some of Hou Liangping’s problems. Moreover, he often skips classes and does not follow school rules. I agree that Hou Liangping should repeat a year.”

Qi Tongwei looked at Xu Xinde and nodded slightly.

"That's good. We should be responsible to our students when we teach. Hou Liangping has encountered problems in his studies, so our school should give him a chance to stay and continue his studies for another year."

"Yes, Governor Qi, your opinion fully reflects the care and affection that the provincial government and Governor Qi have for us students of Handong University. On behalf of Hou Liangping, I would like to express my gratitude to Governor Qi."

Inside the rented room of Hou Liangping and Gao Fangfang in Handong Province.

Hou Liangping shuddered twice on the bed before sitting down on the edge.

At this moment, Wu Huifen also sat up. Her complexion was not good, as if she had just had breathing problems.

After Wu Huifen got up, she dressed while looking at Hou Liangping, who was sitting idly on the edge of the bed.

"Liangping, you're both graduating soon. Fangfang won't be going out as often as before. Besides, your teacher, Gao, has arranged for both of you to work at the Jinghai Municipal Political and Legal Affairs Commission. It might not be as convenient for us to see each other in the future."

Hou Liangping sat on the edge of the bed, whistling.

He didn't care whether it was convenient to meet or not; in Hou Liangping's mind, nothing was more important than his career.

"What's the big deal? We'll see each other all the time, there'll always be opportunities."

Seeing that Hou Liangping didn't mind at all, Wu Huifen realized that there might be fewer opportunities for them to communicate in the future.

She felt a chill in her heart.

"Liangping, your job was arranged for you by your teacher Gao, so you can't just not thank him, can you?"

"Thank him? If you hadn't been whispering in his ear, would he have agreed to get me transferred to the Jinghai Municipal Political and Legal Affairs Commission? Come on, do you think I don't know him? As long as you keep whispering in his ear, do you think I'd be afraid of not having a future?"

As Hou Liangping spoke, a smug smile appeared on his face.

Upon seeing this, Wu Huifen's expression did not look good.

"So, you've already planned out your future?"

"That's right, what's so difficult about it? I never fight a battle I'm not prepared for."

While Wu Huifen and Hou Liangping were having their conversation.

Suddenly, the sound of a door opening came from the hall outside.

In an instant, Wu Huifen tensed up.

"Oh no, Liangping, hurry up and get your clothes ready, Fangfang is back."

Hou Liangping remained calm and unhurried.

"What's there to be afraid of? What if she sees it? Fangfang won't think that way."

Before long, Gao Fangfang had arrived inside.

She saw Hou Liangping shirtless, wearing only shorts, swinging his legs by the bed.
