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

Chapter 22 A Call from Yuquan Mountain!

The next day, Zhao Zhongxin woke up from his hangover and was stunned to find himself lying on the lower bunk with Qi Tongwei. Was Qi Tongwei really gay? But seeing that he was fully clothed, he breathed a sigh of relief!

Little did they know that Qi Tongwei had also woken up, and seeing Zhao Zhongxin lying next to him, his eyes were filled with fear!

"Brother Xin, you...you didn't do anything to me, did you? I'd rather you stabbed me in the back with a knife!"

"Don't look at me like that! Holy shit, you bastard! I..."

Zhao Zhongxin started rapping with a single finger!

It turns out that yesterday, the people who carried Zhao Zhongxin and Qi Tongwei put them on the same bed to save trouble!

"Let's go for a run! Don't embarrass yourself, the younger students are watching. If you miss a day, it's like you didn't stick with it for four years!"

After the two finished arguing, Qi Tongwei spoke up! Zhao Zhongxin shook his head!

"Let's go this afternoon. Go to class and ask for leave for me; I want to continue sleeping!"

After saying that, Zhao Zhongxin climbed onto his bunk, covered himself with the blanket, and went to sleep! The two of them had been sleeping together, and now that they were awake, they felt unwell all over!

"Okay! I'll bring you lunch. You go to sleep first!"

Qi Tongwei is not Zhao Zhongxin; he never skips classes. After all, the tuition is paid for by the villagers, and he can't afford to be lazy! He has to study hard!

"good!"

Zhao Zhongxin responded with a single sentence and then fell asleep.

Time flies, and it was already June of the second semester of his senior year. Zhao Zhongxin received a message asking him to return to Beijing! He would be preparing for the national civil service exam in the second half of the year!

Zhao Zhongxin looked at Qi Tongwei and smiled.

Qi Tongwei also laughed. Their friendship over the past four years had surpassed many things. Moreover, in the last two years, Liang Lu, that disgusting person, did not go to Qi Tongwei. Instead, she went to Zhao Zhongxin. Zhao Zhongxin always spoke in a half-open, half-closed manner, which infuriated Liang Lu.

But Liang Lu has no way to deal with Zhao Zhongxin now. The only thing she can do is block Zhao Zhongxin's graduation certificate. She has been waiting for this day for two years!

But is Zhao Zhongxin someone she can block? Most people in the school know that Zhao Zhongxin is always picked up and dropped off by military vehicles when he returns to school. Is that something an ordinary person can do?

Liang Lu couldn't see it because her father had already risen to the position of Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, entering the provincial party committee and ranking very high. Moreover, her father, Liang Qunfeng, had a political ally, Zhao Lichun. Since Zhao Mengsheng went to Beijing last year, Zhao Lichun had taken over as the executive vice governor from Zhao Mengsheng, and this year he directly became the acting governor, just one step away from becoming the top leader of Handong!

That's why Liang Lu was so confident. Zhao Mengsheng had only been in the officialdom of Handong for a little over two years, and no one knew his background. Zhao Zhongxin was his son, and only a handful of people in the entire Handong knew about him! Liang Qunfeng might be one of them, but he didn't know that his daughter was eyeing Zhao Mengsheng's son!

They'd be terrified if they knew! Putting everything else aside, Zhao Mengsheng is only in his forties, a provincial fourth-ranked official, and now he's heading straight for the central government. Anyone with a brain knows he's a powerful dragon crossing the river!

Although he was a local bully, and although there's a saying that even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake, a dragon is a dragon, and a snake is still a snake!

"Tongwei, you've been assigned to a police station in Yantai City! Congratulations! You also passed the postgraduate entrance exam! And Chen Yang, he was assigned to the procuratorate too. You two are really riding high right now! Unlike me, I still have to take the civil service exam to go back to Beijing!"

Zhao Zhongxin looked at the two of them, and they smiled, but it was a forced smile. Last month, Qi Tongwei went to see Chen Yanshi and Wang Fuzhen. Chen Yanshi and Wang Fuzhen were polite on the surface, but there was a sense of estrangement in them. Qi Tongwei and Chen Yang both felt it. The two elders do not like Qi Tongwei (himself). So, will a relationship without the support of parents have a future?

So now the two of them are very confused and feel that their future is bleak! However, they did not tell Zhao Zhongxin about this.

Zhao Zhongxin had actually guessed the general idea! If it were anything else, he could help, but he really couldn't say anything about this! He just smiled!

When Zhao Zhongxin went to pick up his graduation certificate, the teacher at the school said directly!

"Zhao, your graduation certificate application has failed!"

The teacher gave a forced smile, but Zhao Zhongxin laughed. It must be Liang Lu's doing. That old woman is really persistent. But this trick won't work on him. He's not Qi Tongwei; you can't hold him back from graduating or getting a job! Trying to play these tricks on me? Throwing a princess act, huh?

Zhao Zhongxin didn't mince words, pointing to the phone next to him and saying!

"Teacher, may I use the phone for a moment?"

Upon hearing this, the teacher nodded and shrugged. He was just an official, and he knew about Zhao Zhongxin's connections, but Liang Lu's father was a strong successor to the next provincial third-class teacher. He didn't think Zhao Zhongxin's backing was stronger than Liang Lu's.

"Can!"

Zhao Zhongxin made a phone call directly to Beijing, but not to his father. His father would just put pressure on him and give him the cold shoulder when dealing with such matters. Instead, he called his grandmother, a wealthy lady!

"grandmother!"

"Hey! Shin-chan? You haven't called Grandma in ages! When are you coming back? Grandma misses you so much! Your parents and sister are all here; our family needs to be reunited!"

The lady laughed, and Zhao Zhongxin spoke up!

"Grandma, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for a while. It seems like someone at my university is withholding my graduation certificate. I was hoping you could give me some advice on who I should contact to help me with this!"

Upon hearing this, the lady's smiling face suddenly turned gloomy!

"Xiaoxin, are you sure? Someone's holding your graduation certificate against you?"

"Probably. I'm the only one in the class who didn't get my diploma! I don't know who I offended!"

Zhao Zhongxin said with a smile, "You, Liang Lu, don't like to act like a princess, so I've invited a princess from the capital to go up against you!"

"Xiao Xin, go and rest for a while. I'll have your school's principal and party secretary personally deliver your graduation certificate to you later!"

After saying that, the lady hung up the phone. The teacher glanced at Zhao Zhongxin and shook his head. He still didn't think Zhao Zhongxin's connections could outweigh Liang Lu's. Speaking like that, tearing the other side apart, and refusing to compromise—his future was bleak!

Looking at his pitying gaze, Zhao Zhongxin wanted to laugh. Tomorrow, no, in a little while, I'll be the one looking at you with pity!

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Zhongxin went outside!

Meanwhile, the Party Secretary of Handong University was on his way to a meeting when he heard the phone ring. His secretary quickly answered it!

Who is it?

"Yuquan Mountain? I don't know that!"

His secretary hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking! The Party Secretary of Handong University was dumbfounded! He rushed over and yelled!

"How dare you! Who told you to hang up the phone!"
