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

As for Chang Chenghu, Zhao Donglai also gave him a chance to launder most of his assets. Although Chang Chenghu has been laundering these assets over the years, Zhao Donglai is not his cousin after all, and he will not be completely open with him!

Zhao Donglai not only laundered his assets but also significantly altered his public image, making him a social representative in the People's Congress. Li Dakang was dumbfounded when he was reinstated as the Secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, yet he still had to concurrently serve as a member of the Municipal People's Congress. In fact, as the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, he didn't need to hold any other concurrent positions. But Li Dakang had a strong desire for officialdom and insisted on holding these positions.

Li Dakang had been holding back for the past three years. He wanted to tell the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, and your city, that he, Li Dakang, was back, the king had returned! He was going to hold a stern meeting with you! To be honest, Li Dakang still preferred to be called Secretary, because it sounded like the top leader, while Executive Director sounded like a deputy!

So when Li Dakang saw Chang Chenghu there, the kid was speechless. "Aren't you that demolition team leader? A gangster? How did you get involved here? Who gave you permission?!"

Later, when they learned it was Zhao Donglai and Qi Tongwei who had given permission, there was nothing they could do. Zhao Donglai was the most respected among Zhao Zhongxin's underlings; the two had a past relationship, so there was no need to say anything! As for Qi Tongwei, well, he couldn't be offended. Things were different now; he was one of Zhao Zhongxin's henchmen, and even Sun Liancheng had become one of Zhao Zhongxin's men. As for Chang Chenghu, let him come in! It didn't matter!

Chang Chenghu chuckled and said, "You, Secretary Dakang, such a big gangster, can be the boss here. In your eyes, I, who am suspected of being a gangster, am just a greenhorn. Compared to you, I am nothing!"

Chang Chenghu felt this was God's arrangement. He had originally been far removed from the Jianghu (江湖, the martial arts world), but now he was in the imperial court. He could wear a suit and tie and even a Zhongshan suit! All of this was given to him by Governor Donglai. It turned out that being a lackey for important people was such a great thing!

Moreover, this Governor Donglai has a very powerful background. With the governor backing him, he can't fall even if anyone else falls! Chang Chenghu learned from his cousin Cheng Du what kind of person Zhao Zhongxin was. A person like that can't possibly fall from power!

So Chang Chenghu also began to change. Now that he was a subordinate of Governor Donglai, he certainly couldn't act arrogantly anymore. As a representative, he replaced his Range Rover Executive Extended with a new Volkswagen Phideon as his official vehicle, which looked just like a Passat. He even abandoned his original license plates, Han A88888 and Han A99999, and changed them to Han A66088. His main goal was to keep a low profile! In his eyes, this was already a generic license plate! He couldn't just use any random license plate; he was a representative, after all, and he needed to maintain his image!

"You used to call me Brother Chang Chenghu, and I didn't mind. But what should you call me now?"

Chang Chenghu said to his underlings!

"Hello, Representative. Thank you for your hard work in guiding our work. I've prepared a feast for you, would you like to try some?"

"Chang Chenghu's little brother's little brother, Brother Dao, is just Little Dao to Chang Chenghu," he said with a smile.

"Heh heh, this kid's not stupid. What's your name?"

Chang Chenghu smiled and pointed at him!

"My name is Gu Jiamin, but everyone calls me Daozi (Knife)! You can just call me Xiaodao (Little Knife)!"

Dao Ge said with a grin, and Chang Chenghu waved his hand and said!

"What 'knives and guns'? From now on, you'll be called 'Daozi,' the 'Dao' of 'official road'! Don't give me those nicknames anymore, we need to be civilized! Do you hear me?!"

"Thank you for bestowing this name upon me, Representative. From now on, I will be known as Xiaodao!"

Brother Dao, no, Brother Dao is really on point! No wonder Chang Chenghu chose that name!

"You seem pretty clever. From now on, you'll work for me—I mean, I mean, be my secretary!"

Chang Chenghu really liked this younger brother; he was shrewd. Besides, he noticed that all the important people's secretaries were men, so why didn't he choose a man to be his secretary too? As for those previous secretaries, he told them to get lost, but better not to. They could just work as nannies in his company from now on! They'd get the same salary!

Tiger's happiness is beyond your imagination!

"Thank you, representative, but I'm Brother Lin's man, and Brother Lin has treated me very well, so I'll still..."

Before Dao Ge could finish speaking, Chang Chenghu looked at Lin Ge!

"Tiger, if you like the knife, you can take it!"

Brother Lin smiled. He did like Knife, and the kid was a fun person. However, his mention of Brother Tiger and Knife offended Chang Chenghu!

"What 'Tiger Brother' and 'Knife'? You—cough cough—I've told you countless times since I came in, I'm the representative now. Call me by my title. He's called Daozi, not Daozi. You've been with me for over ten years, you should know a thing or two, okay?"

If it weren't for the fact that Lin Zi had followed him for over a decade, Chang Chenghu would have used the rules of the underworld to deal with you today! Lin Zi isn't even as sensible as your soldiers. I was going to curse him out, but then I remembered that I'm a representative now, so I have to speak properly and be polite!

Chang Chenghu felt that the first forty years of his life were so boring. He would shout and yell when he got into fights with others. He thought that Zhao Donglai and other important people spoke softly and never got angry. He felt that he should be like them and become a steady man! Men who easily get angry are narrow-minded and can never achieve great things.

If Zhong Jianjun were here and knew that Chang Chenghu was thinking this way, he might be furious!

"?"

You've never met me before, have you? I'm also a high-ranking official. I like to shout and yell, and I'm very prone to getting into trouble. Who are you, Chang Chenghu, targeting?

If you, Chang Chenghu, have the guts, come to No. 38 Taiping Road and have a go at me, Brother Zhong!

Chang Chenghu said he wouldn't dare! You are a powerful official in Handong, I wouldn't dare even if you gave me a hundred lives! Why don't you just call Zhong Jianjun by his name? It's to avoid offending someone of higher status!

To be honest, Zhao Donglai is really outrageous. He trained one guy, Li Kangjian, who always talks about respecting the emperor and is incredibly audacious. Now he's trained another guy, Chang Chenghu, who is supposed to be gentle and refined, but he also talks about respecting the emperor. Zhao Donglai, you're really something! The soldiers you train are all more outrageous than the last!

It's ridiculous, really. These government employees of the Han University gang all claim to be Zhao Zhongxin's henchmen, especially Zhao Donglai, Li Kangjian, Qi Tongwei, and Sun Liancheng. They feel incredibly honored to be the henchmen of the Han University gang, while Chang Chenghu, a gangster, claims to be a civilized person, a representative of civilization. It's like the world has been turned upside down! It's hilarious!
