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

Zhao Zhongxin sized up the two of them. He had met Chen Hai before; Qi Tongwei and Chen Yang had taken Chen Hai out to play when they were dating.

As for Hou Liangping, Zhao Zhongxin looked at him and thought that apart from his good looks, he didn't have any redeeming qualities. His eyes darted around and he was very respectful to Qi Tongwei, the student council president, but he looked at Zhao Zhongxin with disdain. He thought that this person was not a student council member, so why should he call him "Brother Xin"? You should be grateful if he is called "senior"!

Hou Liangping came from a privileged background. His father was a member of the municipal party committee in his hometown. So, whatever rank his father held in the city, Hou Liangping would be just as high-ranking as the other rich kids in the city!

In fact, Hou Liangping also looked down on Qi Tongwei. His clothes and appearance clearly indicated that he came from a poor family, but he must have some outstanding qualities to become the student union president of a 985 university. That's why Hou Liangping followed Qi Tongwei and became his little brother!

"Hello, Chen Hai! Long time no see!"

Zhao Zhongxin greeted Chen Hai first, and Chen Hai scratched his head and said with a smile!

"Brother Xin, long time no see!"

"Hello, Hou! My name is Zhao Zhongxin, I'm a junior in the Department of Political Science and Law!"

Zhao Zhongxin then looked at Hou Liangping and introduced himself.

"Hello, senior! My name is Hou Liangping!"

Hou Liangping smiled and extended his hand, even rolling up his sleeves to reveal the Longines watch on his wrist. This watch was a gift from his father when he found out that Hou Liangping had been admitted to Handong University, a 985 university!

Seeing his expression, Zhao Zhongxin smiled. The watch he wore wasn't expensive; it was just a Fuxing watch. He really didn't care about such things.

Hou Liangping also noticed the Fuxing watch on Zhao Zhongxin's wrist and was overjoyed. The reason was simple: he could tell from Zhao Zhongxin's eyes that Zhao Zhongxin was a connoisseur and recognized the watch!

Unlike this student council president, who clearly comes from a poor background, he's been showing off several times and the student council president still doesn't seem to know it. It's like he's throwing a flirtatious glance at a blind man!

Where is Chen Yang?

Zhao Zhongxin asked a question, and whether or not to say it, Chen Yang and Qi Tongwei still got together. Although this relationship didn't have a good ending, Qi Tongwei and Chen Yang were like two peas in a pod, they just hit it off!

Zhao Zhongxin wouldn't stop him either. After all, first love is something everyone has to go through, and it's an essential part of Qi Tongwei's growth. How can one grow up without experiencing loss?

As for Liang Lu threatening Qi Tongwei, he would definitely help Qi Tongwei as long as Qi Tongwei asked. His father, Zhao Mengsheng, had already risen to the position of executive vice governor in the provincial party committee in the past two years after his demobilization. His father had also told him that he would be going to the central government next year! In the end, it's easier to get things done if you have someone backing you. Helping Qi Tongwei is really just a matter of his father saying a word. Nobody wants to offend someone who has entered the central government in his forties!

Liang Lu's father is currently only the Party Secretary of a prefecture-level city, not even a provincial Party Secretary. It will be seven or eight years before he becomes the Deputy Party Secretary and concurrently the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. Then Gao Yuliang will be appointed, which is still a long time away!

However, it cannot be ruled out that Qi Tongwei chose this path himself, achieving success through a single act. As for Chen Yang, Qi Tongwei definitely has no chance. To put it bluntly, the reason Chen Yanshi doesn't accept Qi Tongwei is because he has a son, Chen Hai. He claims to have no selfish motives, but his son, born in 1970, became a deputy chief prosecutor and head of the anti-corruption bureau—a full-fledged provincial-level position—at the age of 45 in 2015. How could he have achieved that without political resources?

Therefore, Chen Yanshi could only use his political resources on his own son. Wasn't Qi Tongwei outstanding? Qi Tongwei was shot three times at Guying Ridge, which ultimately meant that Chen Yanshi wouldn't agree to his relationship with Chen Yang because Qi Tongwei was too outstanding! Because if he accepted Qi Tongwei, his political resources would be harder to allocate.

Moreover, who wouldn't resent Chen Yanshi's continued retirement? No, who wouldn't hate him? Only Gao Yuliang, a scholar, respected him and cared about his old superior. Otherwise, who wouldn't have disliked him before Sha Ruijin arrived?

Take Li Dakang for example. Before he knew about the relationship between Chen Yanshi and Sha Ruijin, he completely ignored him. During the Dafeng Factory incident, when the factory was forcibly demolished, they didn't give him any face at all. It was only when he heard the phrase "Little Jinzi" that Li Dakang was awakened!

"My sister just arrived at school. By the way, Tongwei, you and my sister have been together for three years now, when are you planning to come to my house?"

Chen Hai asked!

Qi Tongwei felt embarrassed upon hearing this. He had nothing now; he earned his tuition through scholarships and part-time jobs. Being asked to come to his door made him feel incredibly inferior! Besides his position as student council president, he had nothing else to offer!

"Um, um!"

Qi Tongwei was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say, while Zhao Zhongxin said with a smile!

"Your sister and Tongwei are still students, so their studies are their priority. Wouldn't it be much more formal for them to visit your home after they find jobs?"

"Brother Xin, you're right! But Brother Tongwei, let me tell you, you have to treat my sister well!"

Chen Hai is a young man who is Qi Tongwei's number one fan. He thinks Qi Tongwei is amazing. He can support himself, work three jobs a day, and even get scholarships. He is simply a superman!

"Of course! Hahaha, come on, come on, I'm treating you to dinner today! You'll be starting military training tomorrow, you won't be eating well then!"

Qi Tongwei said with a smile, then raised an eyebrow at Zhao Zhongxin, meaning to thank Zhao Zhongxin for helping him out of the predicament!

Zhao Zhongxin smiled and said!

"No, please. It's my treat today. I'm the boss here, it's on me!"

Knowing that Qi Tongwei was short of money, Zhao Zhongxin gave his best excuse!

Hou Liangping nodded and followed.

The four of them arrived at a restaurant, and Zhao Zhongxin asked Hou Liangping with a smile!

"Hou, do you have any dietary restrictions? I know both of them!"

"No, senior, I eat everything!"

Hou Liangping's mind wasn't on this at the moment; he suddenly noticed several beautiful girls nearby! One of them, he felt he really liked.

Sure enough, after Zhao Zhongxin ordered the food and sat down with Qi Tongwei and Chen Hai, he discovered that Hou Liangping was nowhere to be found!

"Hey? Where did the monkey go?"

Chen Hai asked! Zhao Zhongxin raised an eyebrow, indicating it was over there!

Chen Hai and Qi Tongwei looked over and saw Hou Liangping with a few girls, asking for their contact information!

"Hey everyone, are you also a freshman at Hanzhong University? Me too, my name is Hou Liangping, wanna be friends?"

Zhong Xiaoai looked up and frowned. Although the boy in front of her was good-looking, it was a bit too presumptuous of him to ask to be friends right away.

"Hey, what are you doing? Are we that close?"

A girl next to Zhong Xiaoai was unhappy. "What's wrong with you, guy? There are four girls here, and you're staring at one of them like a hungry wolf. How can they not be scared?"
