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

"Whatever, I'm going back to Beijing!"

Zhong Xiaoai felt helpless. She couldn't accept how her husband had become like this, so she threatened Li Kangjian with separation!

"Okay, I'll come back to see you and the kids once a month!"

Li Kangjian said coldly, and Zhong Xiaoai then realized that Li Kangjian had been completely corrupted by Zhao Zhongxin, and wouldn't leave even when asked! Her spoiled princess temper was flaring up!

"Whatever!"

After saying that, Zhong Xiaoai turned and left. Li Kangjian didn't even look at her. He walked over to Zhao Zhongxin's side and stood on either side of Zhao Donglai, like bodyguards!

"Governor, Hou Liangping implicated Chang Chenghu. Should we take action against him?"

Zhao Donglai asked Zhao Zhongxin a question! Zhao Zhongxin countered with a question!

"Was he involved in the murder of Chen Hai?"

"No, that's top secret. Hou Liangping arranged for someone to go himself!"

Zhao Donglai shook his head!

"Then there's no need for that. Keep Chang Chenghu; you'll always find a use for someone like him someday!"

With Zhao Zhongxin's words, Chang Chenghu's protector changed from his cousin, Cheng Du, a division-level official, to Zhao Donglai, a provincial-level official! What was originally just Jingzhou's military power has now become Handong's military power!

"I understand! I understand!"

Zhao Donglai nodded. Zhao Zhongxin was right; this kind of person would always come in handy someday!

"You two, one is the future vice governor and concurrently the director of the public security department, and the other is the provincial procurator general! You two better keep a close eye on the political and legal system in Handong!"

Zhao Zhongxin patted the two men on the shoulders and began to make promises—no, it couldn't be called making promises, because Zhao Zhongxin actually knew how to make promises!

His father, Zhao Mengsheng, wanted to meet Gao Yuliang. Whether it worked out or not, Gao Yuliang wouldn't be in his positions as Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission next year. The person who would take over as Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission would definitely be Tian Guofu, that little rascal! He himself would definitely have to take over the public security, procuratorate, and court under the Political and Legal Affairs Commission now. Tian Guofu, apart from having some say in the Provincial Party Committee, Zhao Zhongxin would sideline him in the Political and Legal Affairs Commission!

After being fed those two big pancakes, Zhao Donglai and Li Kangjian were both blushing. Zhao Donglai is now the vice mayor of Jingzhou and concurrently the director of the city's public security bureau. His next promotion would be vice governor and concurrently the director of the provincial public security department!

The same goes for Li Kangjian. When he returned to the Supreme Anti-Corruption Bureau, he could only slowly build up his seniority. Positions in Beijing are extremely competitive, so he had to take it slow!

Now Zhao Zhongxin has directly promised the two of them vice-ministerial level positions. The only thing they have is that they are too eager to advance, too eager to advance!

The court is also under Gao Yuliang's control. After Gao Yuliang leaves, they will definitely take orders from Zhao Zhongxin, not Tian Guofu. The reason is simple: even if you take orders from Tian Guofu, he won't trust you! It's better to follow the new leader of the Handa Gang. Yes, since Zhao Zhongxin became the acting governor, he has no longer been the deputy leader. He is the most important person in the Handa Gang, so he naturally became the leader. Gao Yuliang has become the old leader.

Gao Yuliang has already severed ties with Gao Xiaofeng. Zhao Zhongxin has destroyed the evidence for him. Besides, even if he and Gao Xiaofeng still have feelings for each other, those feelings have worn away over the years. However, he still feels reluctant to part with the child. But he is a politician, and what he craves most is power! So, all Gao Yuliang can do for Gao Xiaofeng is send her a monthly allowance.

Furthermore, because Gao Fangfang married well, Wu Huifen didn't go her separate ways as depicted in the original story. When Gao Yuliang turned back, Wu Huifen was still waiting for him, and the two remarried. Although it was somewhat self-deceptive, no one who knew about it would say anything, nor would they dare to!

Gao Fangfang also learned about her parents' remarriage immediately, but she still felt that her father was hypocritical and only did it for power and to get promoted! She still didn't have a good attitude towards her father!

Meanwhile, Qi Tongwei was so happy he was practically bursting with joy. He didn't look like someone attending a funeral at all. Luckily, he was a professionally trained person, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to stop laughing!

However, Chen Yang also noticed Qi Tongwei's smiling face and couldn't help but feel a little sad. She thought Qi Tongwei was happy because his father had died, and felt that his father had ruined her and her marriage. However, Chen Yang didn't say anything. She also hated his father. First love is the most precious thing for everyone. People who love each other deeply can't be together! She had nothing to say!

But Qi Tongwei didn't think that much. The reason he was happy was simple: the money from Shanshui Group was back, and so was the money from Guangming District. Damn it, in his first month in office, he borrowed money from the People's Hospital to pay the salaries of Guangming District civil servants. Sun Liancheng was there too. The top two leaders of the district were both borrowing money. It really was like what Yi Xuexi said: "In a famine year, the county party secretary and the county head lead the way in begging for food." It was truly shameful. There was no one else like him who had become an official like this!

So now that the money's back, how could Qi Tongwei not be happy? Without money, you can't move an inch; even the dogs kept in the district government's backyard won't wag their tails at you. With money, everything's easy! Now he can finally show off his skills!

Qi Tongwei first renovated the petition office, and even reimbursed Sun Liancheng for the sixty yuan he had advanced! He then portrayed Sun Liancheng as a good district head who served the people, claiming the district government was short of funds and the district head was using his own money to solve problems for the people! In all these years in Handong, has there ever been a Sun Liancheng?

Sun Liancheng was also very moved! This is what a good leader is like! Mayor Qi even humbled himself to borrow money from the hospital to pay the salaries of the district's cadres. Leaders like this are rare!

Anyway, the two started flattering each other, and their partnership was so perfect, it was like they'd known each other forever! They're practically inseparable now! Sun Liancheng takes Qi Tongwei to stargaze at night, and Qi Tongwei takes Sun Liancheng to the police station's shooting range to practice sniping during the day. Now their interests are overlapping! They think they're pretty much the same, since they both have binoculars! Brother Qi (Sun) is giving me face, so I have to go along with it, right?

The two of them are now focused on one person; everything except their wives can be swapped! Don't ask, it's simply because they're compatible!

Gao Yuliang was satisfied with Qi Tongwei's current situation, as long as he didn't go to the grave to mourn. He was afraid that one day Zhao Zhongxin would go home to sweep the grave and ask Qi Tongwei to accompany him, and Qi Tongwei would do that again. So he repeatedly told Qi Tongwei to be normal and have normal interactions, and not to go too far!

As I said before, if Gao Yuliang talks to Qi Tongwei, Qi Tongwei will listen and respect his teacher. But if others say the same thing, I'll take them down!
