A man in Handong: living off Zhong Xiaoai

"What? Are you entertaining guests again tonight?"

Qi Tongwei sighed deeply.

"My little darling, I already told you, I'm not going back to see Zhong Xiaoai, I really have something to do. But speaking of which, Xiaohui, aren't you and Xiaoai best friends? What grudge do you have against her? Why are you keeping me here and preventing me from going back?"

Zhao Xiaohui pursed her lips.

"Because I'm bored! And I think it's fun!"

"Fun?"

"Yeah! Why not do something fun?"

"You really are a logical genius, but I really have something to do tonight, Xiaohui. Tell me your conditions. What do I have to do for you to let me go?"

When Zhao Xiaohui heard Qi Tongwei say that, she gave a smile that was hard to tell whether it was amused or mischievous.

In short, in Qi Tongwei's eyes, it was just abnormal.

"I'll let you go, but to prevent Zhong Xiaoai or anyone else from taking advantage of you tonight, I'll personally empty your magazine and fire all your bullets. Besides, it's so late and I haven't eaten yet, so you'll have to find a way to make sure I'm full before I let you go."

Upon hearing Zhao Xiaohui's words, Qi Tongwei couldn't help but twitch his lips twice.

"Xiao Hui, let me be clear from the start: if I knock you out in this room tonight, don't blame me!"

Zhao Xiaohui had a smug look on her face.

"Do not blame you!"

Inside a construction worker's shed in Jingzhou City, Handong Province.

After a busy day, Chen Hai, wearing a safety helmet, leaned against some building materials, munching on a steamed bun while gazing at the stars.

Ever since Qi Tongwei gifted him the entry for "Busy and Tired (Purple)", Chen Hai has been living in a daze, not knowing how he gets through each day.

While Chen Hai was eating a steamed bun and gazing at the starry sky...

The foreman happened to walk by.

"You're the new guy, right?"

Upon hearing the foreman's question, Chen Hai immediately stood up.

"Yes, my name is Chen Hai."

The foreman nodded.

“My brother-in-law is coming to take your job. He’ll be doing it from now on. You should pack your things and leave first thing in the morning.”

Hearing this, Chen Hai became a little nervous.

"But brother, you haven't paid me my wages yet!"

"Wages?!"

The foreman seemed to have heard something hilarious for a moment.

Chen Hai nodded very seriously.

"That's right, I've worked for three days, so of course you have to pay me."

Upon hearing Chen Hai's words, the foreman couldn't help but laugh.

"Haha, I've been leading teams for almost 20 years, and this is the first time I've ever heard of someone who works for 3 days and still wants to be paid."

"You worked for 3 days, and you're not getting paid?"

"Are you out of your mind? Do you think you don't have to pay for food and lodging at our construction site? I've already decided I don't want you anymore, and you're still sleeping here for one more night? Isn't that money?"

"But I also worked on this construction site for 3 days!"

"Why are you so stubborn? Let me tell you, anyone who hasn't worked a full month doesn't get paid."

"That's your problem. It's not that I don't want to do it anymore, it's that you don't want me anymore."

"Yeah, right! We don't want you anymore, so why are we giving you money? Are you crazy, or am I? Let me tell you the truth, there are other jobs on this construction site, but they're all hard and strenuous work. We arranged this job for you out of consideration for you; otherwise, my brother-in-law wouldn't have been competing with you for a job. Judging from your appearance, your family used to be quite well-off, right? Did they fall on hard times?"

Hearing the foreman's words, Chen Hai felt a surge of emotions and silently lowered his head.

Seeing this, the foreman sighed and continued.

"That's settled then. I didn't mean to bully you. Let's part ways amicably. You should leave as soon as it's light tomorrow morning."

After saying that, the foreman turned and left.

After the other party left, Chen Hai sat down on the ground again.

Looking at the construction site in front of him, he felt out of place.

Her father was arrested, and her mother kicked her out.

What can I do now? What else can I do?

Thinking of this, Chen Hai gave a cold laugh.

Actually, Chen Hai felt that he was not as good as these brothers on the construction site.

At least they are all hardworking and energetic.

Unlike myself, who was spoiled since childhood.

Now, I don't have the strength to compete with others for this livelihood.

Just then, for some unknown reason...

Suddenly a gust of wind rose, and by sheer coincidence, a newspaper landed squarely on Chen Hai's face.

Chen Hai impatiently tore the newspaper apart with his hand.

He was really fed up. When you're down on your luck, even drinking cold water can cause you to choke.

Now look what's happened, even this crumpled old newspaper dares to bully me.

Just as Chen Hai was about to tear the newspaper to shreds and throw it aside,

Suddenly, a few large words on the newspaper caught Chen Hai's eye.

In an instant, Chen Hai's eyes widened.

His face was filled with shock and astonishment.

He saw that the newspaper clearly stated "Yong".

"Comrade Qi Tongwei, Vice Governor of Handong Province, has given important instructions on police work in our province!"

Chapter 114 Qi Tongwei arrived in the room

Chen Hai's brain went blank for a moment. What? The Vice Governor of Handong Province?

Qi Tongwei has only been out of school for a little over three years, and he is already the vice governor of Handong Province?

The old song title of my own family member, who always speaks in an official tone and talks about his past as a bomb carrier, has been sung in a high-sounding manner all his life.

When he was over 50 years old and was finally brought to justice, he was only at the level of a bureau chief.

If Qi Tongwei is already the vice governor, then what about his sister Chen Yang?

Has she become the governor's wife?

Thinking about this, Chen Hai felt a surge of excitement.

In fact, Chen Hai never intended to compete with Chen Yang for any family property.

That's all the work of that old, high-pitched song title that's always playing in my house.

My father, Chen Yanshi, is the kind of person who likes to make a big deal out of everything.

Let alone the distribution of family property, even drinking water at home requires a dialectical perspective to distinguish whether it is water obtained by someone with property or water obtained by someone without property.

In short, Chen Hai felt that his relationship with Chen Yang was still quite good, and that it was all his grandfather's doing.

Furthermore, he had no conflict with his brother-in-law Qi Tongwei; it was only Chen Yanshi who was constantly causing trouble by picking up enemies at the airport.

What era are we living in? He still loves to use outdated ways of thinking to approach problems.

It's like when you have a cold, your parents are stuck in the mindset of when you were healthy, so they won't give you medicine, saying you're fine, and that they saw you full of energy in the morning.

But that happened in the morning; now I'm really sick.

Or, to put it another way, you're not sick, but your parents insist you take medicine.

It's the same principle as saying you sneezed yesterday.

Chen Hai believes that his father is an outdated old stubborn man.

It's not that his thinking is wrong, but rather that making decisions, like taking or not taking medicine, should be based on the current situation, not on the situation in the morning or yesterday.

Thinking of this, Chen Hai let out a long sigh of relief.

He took out his phone, intending to call his sister.

But in an instant, his hand froze.

He looked at his hands; they were now completely black, and his fingernails were filled with black grime.

Having fallen to such a state, how could I possibly have the face to call my sister?

At that time, his father, Chen Yanshi, was targeting Qi Tongwei.

Later, Qi Tongwei also sent his father to prison.

Although Chen Hai knew that the matter was started by his own father.

Even so, Chen Hai still didn't know how to face Qi Tongwei.

Downstairs at the Friendship Hotel in Handong Province, Feng Liang was sitting in the rest area waiting.

Of course, he wasn't waiting to check in, nor was he invited by Sun Duoduo.

Instead, after getting off work today, Feng Liang went to wait for his goddess downstairs at her hotel.

He suddenly noticed that Chang Hong and Sun Duoduo both had put on beautiful makeup.

Upon seeing this, Feng Liang immediately understood that the two of them were going out for a car race.

So, Feng Liang became a protector of the flower, secretly hailed a taxi, and followed Chang Hong and her daughter's car all the way here.

After arriving here, Feng Liang didn't sit idle.
