In name only: In the name of Zhao Mengsheng's son!

"I have two left, I'll give you one!"

Liu Kun sighed and said, "But Zhao Zhongxin suddenly roared!"

"No, you still have at least five packs of cigarettes. You smoke an average of thirty a day, so I calculated that you have about five packs left. Go home and bring me two and a half packs later. You're trying to hoard them all, aren't you? You're getting more and more petty as you grow older! You're even stingy with your brother. I won't take yours for nothing. You like tea, so I'll trade you some tea leaves!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Kun was both amused and exasperated. So, it wasn't just me who paid attention to your daily life, but you also paid attention to mine? You were only thinking about the cigarette in my hand!

"Okay, okay! I'll go home and get it later! Sigh! Sigh!"

Liu Kun sighed, and Zhao Zhongxin was displeased! He walked over and put his arm around his younger brother's neck!

"What do you mean? Is it forced? I, Zhao Zhongxin, never force anyone!"

"Sigh, I wasn't forced. Sigh, rank really does give you the upper hand! Sigh!"

Liu Kun sighed after every sentence he spoke, making Zhao Zhongxin seem like a bad guy!

"You son of a bitch, hahaha, next time you try to hit me, I'll definitely give you a few more, okay?!"

Zhao Zhongxin was also laughing heartily! It was definitely more fun to bully his younger brother. Liu Kun shook his head and walked out!

After getting off work in the afternoon, Zhao Zhongxin went to Li Kangjian's house. It was a small villa with nice conditions and a small courtyard!

"No, Kang, are you treating me to dinner? It's all lobster! Is this French cuisine?"

Zhao Zhongxin raised an eyebrow as he looked at the table full of lobsters!

Li Kangjian chuckled!

"No, there are still some dishes that haven't been served yet. They're all French dishes: escargot, duck confit, and bouillabaisse. I made them all!"

"That's good. I brought a bottle of fine wine! Vermouth!"

Zhao Zhongxin then brought out Zhao Mengsheng's favorite absinthe. These two bottles were taken from Zhao Mengsheng's study; they were retrieved from the safe, and the password was simple: the unit number of the ingrate Zhao Mengsheng was fighting!

The real treasure is in the safe!

"Wow, I've never seen this kind of wine before!"

Li Kangjian had never seen this thing before, and he became interested!

To be fair, Li Kangjian's French cuisine is quite good.

Although Zhong Xiaoai is still somewhat afraid of Zhao Zhongxin, things are better now, since she has heard her husband explain things clearly!

However, he still won't take the initiative to talk to Zhao Zhongxin. Don't ask, the answer is fear!

However, Zhong Xiaoai still had a pretty good feeling about her sister-in-law, Zhang Wanxin, because only this sister-in-law could keep Zhao Zhongxin in check, at least on the surface! And her sister-in-law's two children were quite good too, fair-skinned and chubby, and being twins, they were great. She had originally wanted to have another child, taking advantage of the relaxed two-child policy, but Li Kangjian considered that Zhong Xiaoai was already an older mother, so they decided against it. After all, they already had a son and a daughter; their first child was a daughter, and at the time, only one child was allowed, so their son's household registration was under Li Kangjian's sister's name. Since his sister wasn't involved in politics, they just fined her a little money and that was it!

This is all inevitable. Look at Zhao Zhongxin, he only had twins after the two-child policy was implemented in 15. These may seem like small things, but they have to be respected. Basically, all cadres only have one child on the surface! As for what happens in private, nobody cares! He only had his second child after the two-child policy was implemented!

Now the two little ones are listening to their coach. They're not allowed to fight without boxing gloves, so they're eating quietly.

If Zhong Xiaoai knew that these two kids were sparring almost every day at the boxing gym, she would probably be shocked!

"What?! Professor Gao has become the top official in Dongjiang Province? Oh dear, I'd better give Professor Gao a call!"

Li Kangjian wiped his mouth, went outside, took out his phone, and called Gao Yuliang!

About ten minutes later, Li Kangjian returned, beaming with joy! Zhao Zhongxin smiled.

"Professor Gao has become the provincial party secretary, and you seem even happier than you were when you became the provincial party secretary?"

"How can they be the same? Professor Gao is our teacher, the former leader of the Han University gang. If it weren't for Professor Gao, would you even know me, senior? We're classmates, from the same hometown, and from the same party!"

Li Kangjian was laughing heartily, and Zhao Zhongxin was pointing at him, mimicking Gao Yuliang's words!

"How many times have I said it? We are a province with plains, where did all these mountains come from? You fellow villagers, fellow party members, don't say anything that's detrimental to unity! We're all serving the people!"

"Yes, yes, hahaha! Come on, senior, have a drink! Brother Kun!"

Li Kangjian also raised his glass with a smile. He suddenly remembered what Gao Yuliang had said at the provincial party committee meeting, and he couldn't help but laugh!

But to be honest, he used to respect Gao Yuliang because Zhao Zhongxin respected Gao Yuliang. But ever since he heard that Gao Yuliang was going to protect Hou Liangping, a disciple who was utterly worthless, at the Standing Committee meeting, he realized that this teacher was someone important. As long as his disciple didn't make any selective mistakes, he would protect him. Li Kangjian thought that even if he fell into trouble one day, he would speak up for him.

That's why Li Kangjian truly respects Gao Yuliang as a teacher, and that's why he called to congratulate Gao Yuliang now. But every time he thinks of this sentence, he wants to laugh. Everyone says that Teacher Gao is a bit of a sophist, but he didn't expect him to be so good at sophistry!

"What are you laughing at? Be serious!"

Zhao Zhongxin had no idea what he was laughing at; he was just speechless. What was wrong with this little brother?

"Nothing, nothing, I just remembered something happy! Come on, senior, try this snail!"

Li Kangjian was afraid that Zhao Zhongxin would ask him what he was laughing at, so he quickly interrupted the conversation!

Zhao Zhongxin didn't say anything and continued eating.

"Senior, should I tell the others about Professor Gao's news? Let them have some fun too!"

Li Kangjia asked a question!

"Sure, telling you is the same as telling them!"

Zhao Zhongxin replied with one sentence!

"Yes, Professor Gao got what he wanted. He was promoted to ministerial level in the last year or two before he was supposed to go to a second-tier position. I did the math, Professor Gao had seven years left before retirement when he was promoted. Seven ups and eight downs, Professor Gao, haha!"

Li Kangjian didn't say anything more. He felt that Gao Yuliang would definitely go to sea in the future! Once you reach level two, age doesn't matter anymore.

"We'll deal with the future when it comes!"

Zhao Zhongxin thought Gao Yuliang's words were indeed useful! No wonder he was a professor!
