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

So now Chen Hai can only have heart-to-heart talks with Qi Tongwei, because he feels that his parents misjudged Qi Tongwei!

"And this cup of wine, a toast to the hero, the hero of Lone Eagle Ridge who was shot three times!"

Chen Hai picked up his wine glass again, and Qi Tongwei also drank it all in one gulp.

"We'll be brothers for life!"

Qi Tongwei was in great pain, and in the end, Hou Liangping's men carried the three of them to the hotel!

Soon, Sha Ruijin and Zhao Zhongxin arrived. Originally, the two arrived at different times, but the provincial party secretary and the executive secretary needed to be accompanied by the Central Organization Department when taking office. It was the same whether one was sent or two were sent!

Along the way, Sha Ruijin and Zhao Zhongxin chatted casually.

Although Sha Ruijin is a ministerial-level official and Zhao Zhongxin is a vice-ministerial-level official, Zhao Zhongxin doesn't hold back at all! The conversation is entirely led by him!

People in the Organization Department also knew that Zhao Zhongxin was a rich kid, but not the kind of spoiled brat. He had a good reputation as an official and had worked his way up from the grassroots level. Although he had risen a bit too quickly, his father was ranked sixth in the national rankings and his father-in-law was ranked seventh. Moreover, his father had risen even faster than him back then!

Moreover, it's a good thing that Zhao Zhongxin didn't give Sha Ruijin the cold shoulder. He's also become much more restrained, mainly because smartphones spread information and news travels so fast these days!

Therefore, Sha Ruijin was unwilling to have a bad relationship with Zhao Zhongxin. Or rather, Sha Ruijin had some special mission: to bring down the Zhao family gang. He felt that a playboy like Zhao Zhongxin came to Handong because he thought Governor Liu was about to retire, and he wanted to accumulate seniority before moving up. So, there was no conflict between the two of them. They just kept their distance.

So the two of them came together. The people from the Organization Department had just left, and the provincial standing committee's welcome meeting hadn't been going long when Sha Ruijin announced he was going to inspect various cities and counties, and that this meeting would have to wait! Leaving a group of provincial committee members awkwardly standing there, Zhao Zhongxin glanced at him! Was this the show of force they were about to unleash?

After Sha Ruijin left, Zhao Zhongxin spoke with a smile!

"Since Secretary Sha is interested in conducting an inspection, then I shall accept without further ado. Let's continue with the welcome party!"

After Zhao Zhongxin finished speaking, everyone's expressions returned to normal. Yes, you, Sha Ruijin, may not appreciate it, but there's a young master here who does! And this young master was parachuted in to replace Governor Liu, wasn't he?

So everyone was flattering Zhao Zhongxin. If Sha Ruijin saw this, he would probably regret it a little! You want to be the dominant one, you want to handle things quietly? No problem, Zhao Zhongxin is the hot spot, not your cold spot, Sha Ruijin!

"Governor Liu!"

Zhao Zhongxin walked over with a wine glass in his hand!

"Executive Director Zhao!"

Governor Liu looked at Zhao Zhongxin, his vision blurry, as if he were seeing Zhao Mengsheng in his youth!

"Tomorrow! I, Zhao, will come to pay you a visit, Uncle Liu. My father said you were one of the earliest comrades to work with him, and he insisted that I come to visit you!"

Zhao Zhongxin referred to himself as a junior in order to better accept power. After all, Governor Liu was still the governor in name only. If he did not delegate power, his position as executive director would be nothing more than a figurehead. Moreover, mentioning Zhao Mengsheng was just a formality, implying that his father still remembered him.

"Haha, Nephew Zhao, you're too kind! You're just like your father! You should visit your teacher Gao first tomorrow. I'm not in a hurry here, don't worry, I only have four months left!"

Governor Liu could definitely understand, but there was no point in saying that. He was already out of the running and was just waiting to retire. He didn't have much interaction with Zhao Mengsheng, so he might as well give them face and relinquish power sooner. He also had children of his own, and for this reason, the Zhao family wouldn't abandon them!

"No, if I really go to Teacher Gao's house, Teacher Gao will scold me for being insensible. It has to be tomorrow! Governor Liu!"

Zhao Zhongxin chuckled, and Governor Liu nodded in agreement.

Then came Professor Gao Yuliang and Zhao Zhongxin, who walked over with a glass of wine in their hands!

"Teacher Gao, it's been a long time!"

Zhao Zhongxin and Gao Yuliang hadn't seen each other for eight years. Looking at Gao Yuliang, who held such an important position, Zhao Zhongxin felt only estrangement! But it was mutual; Gao Yuliang also felt estranged from Zhao Zhongxin. His favorite student back then had now grown into a towering tree!

"Long time no see, Zhongxin! I never imagined that the joke we made back then would actually come true, and that we, teacher and student, would really be serving in the same government!"

"Haha, then teacher, isn't the position of vice leader of your Han University gang a sure thing for me?"

Zhao Zhongxin was just joking. Does the Handong University Gang really exist? Of course it does. Even if Gao Yuliang, the leader of the Handong University Gang, doesn't admit it, it still exists. The Handong University Gang occupies the territory of the three departments under the Political and Legal Affairs Commission: the Public Security Bureau, the Procuratorate, and the Court. Moreover, they are impenetrable. The Political and Legal Affairs Commission is a powerful department. To put it bluntly, Gao Yuliang only has the pride of a scholar. Otherwise, if he really got ruthless, he could easily destroy Handong. Sha Ruijin wouldn't be able to do anything about it!

"Where did this Han University gang come from? Where did this mountain stronghold come from? Our Handong Province is a plain!"

Gao Yuliang repeated the same thing, but Zhao Zhongxin waved his hand.

"Alright, but Teacher Gao, let me remind you, you'd better get off Zhao Lichun's Zhao Family Gang sooner rather than later!"

After speaking, Zhao Zhongxin walked into the crowd. Gao Yuliang, upon hearing this, broke out in a cold sweat. Zhao Lichun? A second-level official, and Zhao Zhongxin, the son of a first-level official, was being forced to step down? Was Zhao Lichun really finished? Thinking of the parachuted-in Sha Ruijin, Gao Yuliang felt a chill run down his spine!

He wanted to distance himself, but the Han University gang and the Zhao family gang were too deeply entangled. Could he really sever ties? Hou Liangping was the catalyst for the whole incident!

Zhao Zhongxin reminded Gao Yuliang for a simple reason: their teacher-student relationship. Moreover, Gao Yuliang's problem wasn't serious; he hadn't reported his marital status to the organization and had a few hundred million yuan. For someone of Gao Yuliang's rank, he was practically a law-abiding citizen. A few hundred million yuan was nothing; the problem could be big or small. Therefore, Zhao Zhongxin hoped that his teacher could land smoothly.

After this was over, Zhao Zhongxin appeared at Shanshui Manor. He had originally planned to meet with his fellow disciples after seeing Governor Liu the next day, but Hou Liangping kept inviting him!

"Hey Xin, senior! It's been so long!"

Hou Liangping opened a bottle of Lafite and said with a smile!

Zhao Zhongxin was also somewhat surprised. Although he had known for a long time that Hou Liangping had replaced Qi Tongwei as the director, he still felt that the plot was not developing properly. Every time he thought about this, he wanted to laugh!

The person who mocked Qi Tongwei the most in the original work has now become Qi Tongwei himself. This world is truly insane! It's so insane that Zhao Zhongxin is completely baffled!
