Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 429 Misunderstanding

Zhao Lichun laughed and said, "How can that be? Let me ask my secretary to show you around. He's a native of Jingzhou and is very familiar with this place."

Unable to refuse such a kind offer, Zhong Xiaoai looked at her father. He waved his hand, and Zhong Xiaoai said, "Thank you very much, Governor Zhao."

"You should, you're welcome."

As Zhao Lichun gave his orders, a young man came jogging over. It was none other than Hou Liangping.

"Liangping, this is Director Zhong. Director Zhong and several members of the inspection team want to take a look around Jingzhou. You must accompany them. You must accompany them well and treat it as a political mission."

"Yes, Governor." Hou Liangping turned his gaze to Zhong Xiaoai, bowed slightly, and extended his hand in greeting, "Director Zhong, please."

"Comrade Liangping, thank you for your help."

"Director Zhong, you're joking. Serving the leaders is our job." Hou Liangping looked at Director Zhong and felt like he was meeting an old friend too late.

Little did she know that Zhong Xiaoai also felt that the young man in front of her looked familiar.

But she had never been to Handong, so it was impossible for her to know this comrade. She thought that maybe she had glanced at him on TV sometime. After all, as the secretary of the governor, he often appeared as Zhao Lichun's background. She paid close attention to the news in Handong and might have seen him a few times.

Thinking of this, he didn't think about it any more. He called the two female comrades from the inspection team, got into an inconspicuous official car driven by Hou Liangping, and the group left the State Guesthouse.

Several people in the car were chattering about where to go for fun.

Zhong Xiaoai looked at the bustling streets and said, "I've heard about Jingzhou's prosperity for a long time. I didn't expect it to be as good as Kyoto."

"Of course. Handong's economy is among the top five in the country, and Jingzhou, as its capital, is certainly not far behind." A slightly plump woman said, "I read in the newspaper a while ago that there's a food city in Handong with all kinds of delicious food. Where is it?"

Although the fat woman didn't look very outstanding, her voice was very nice, which made Hou Liangping take a second look at her through the rearview mirror.

Another woman wearing glasses and formal attire replied, "That's Haizhou, more than two hundred kilometers away."

The fat woman immediately lost her temper. "Okay. So where are we going?"

Zhong Xiaoai said, "Don't we have a tour guide here?" Then she turned to Hou Liangping and asked, "Guide, where are we going?"

Hou Liangping asked in return, "Do you leaders want to eat, drink, and have fun, or do you want to enjoy the sights?"

"It's all right. We're not familiar with each other. You can just watch over us."

"Jingzhou has just opened a Qianda City, which offers food, drink, entertainment, and fun all in one. It's just as good as the Food City in Haizhou. I wonder if any of you leaders are interested?"

When the obese woman heard that there was something to eat, her eyes lit up immediately. "Okay, okay, Qianda City? I've never seen it. We can go take a look around."

"Okay, let's go to Qianda City first." Zhong Xiaoai made the decision.

"Okay." Hou Liangping agreed, turned the steering wheel, and drove onto Jingzhou Avenue.

Jingzhou Qianda City was built at the beginning of the year and is the second one in Handong. With the success of the first one, Zhao Xiaoya completely copied the second one.

Unlike real estate projects with slow cash flow, Qianda City is a golden goose that lays golden eggs.

It is set up in layers to create an urban complex with everything you need.

When it comes to food and drink, not everything may be available here, but it definitely encompasses the culinary specialties of various places.

Hot pot from Jiangbei, Hunan cuisine from Nanxiang, Cantonese cuisine from Nanyue, Huai cuisine, and so on. Basically, the masterpieces of several major cuisines are gathered here, as well as novel snacks. If you go in for the first time, you will really come out with a full stomach.

When it comes to entertainment, not to mention the various game halls, just the first Internet cafe in Handong can attract a lot of people. All the small games and movies in it are contained in this square screen, which is simply irresistible. I heard that some young people spend day and night in it playing games.

As for shopping, Handong has a port, which has all kinds of domestic brand-name clothing, foreign perfumes and luxury goods, which can make people empty their wallets without realizing it.

There are endless customers coming to visit and shop every day.

When they arrived at Qianda City, everyone was immediately stunned by the huge crowds of people before them.

The spacious Qianda Plaza was crowded with people, and every small snack stall was surrounded by people, like a group of ants surrounding a piece of candy.

"So many people."

Hou Liangping said proudly, "You guys definitely don't have this in Kyoto, right? It's very lively."

The three girls shook their heads honestly. Although Kyoto had a lot of good food, drink and entertainment, it was not something that ordinary people could participate in. It was more lively and more approachable here.

Hou Liangping fully fulfilled the responsibilities of a tour guide, taking several people from eating to playing, and they had a great time, and they didn't even attend the dinner.

Hou Liangping was completely unaware that there was a pair of eyes hidden in the crowd staring at him.

Zhao Ruilong didn't expect that he would meet his cheap brother-in-law here just after coming out of the Internet cafe, and he was accompanied by several women to show his courtesy.

How could this be allowed? A small family of a deputy division-level cadre dare to cheat on the mighty Zhao family?

Zhao Ruilong exaggerated the situation and complained to Zhao Xiaohui.

Zhao Xiaohui didn't believe it at first, "Ruilong, I know you don't like him, but he is your brother-in-law after all. Can you please stop arguing with him?"

Zhao Ruilong laughed angrily, "Second sister, I'm serious! If you don't believe me, come to the second floor of Qianda City. He's enjoying a meal with three women!"

Zhao Xiaohui called Hou Liangping half-believingly. When Hou Liangping saw that it was Zhao Xiaohui's call, he quickly walked to a corner to answer it.

"Hey, Xiaohui."

"Liang Ping, what are you doing?"

"What else can I do? Work, of course." Hou Liangping answered without thinking.

It is indeed work, and political work at that.

Zhao Xiaohui was such a smart person that she could tell that Hou Liangping was in a crowded place just by listening to the voice on the phone.

Ruilong is telling the truth!

Zhao Xiaohui immediately got angry, but suppressed her anger and said, "Are you sure it's work?"

"Sure! What's wrong with you?" Hou Liangping was a little surprised.

"Hey, Liangping, come here quickly." At this moment, the fat woman suddenly cheered, and the pleasant voice was heard by Zhao Xiaohui.

Zhao Xiaohui's face turned pale, "It's okay, just work hard!" She hung up the phone without waiting for Hou Liangping to react.

Speculating that Hou Liangping might betray her, Zhao Xiaohui lost interest in work and immediately rushed back to Jingzhou. While getting in the car, she called Zhao Ruilong, "Ruilong, keep an eye on him. I'll be there right away!"

"Second sister, don't worry, I won't let him get away." He then instructed his newly hired general manager, Du Bozhong, "Old Du, quickly call a few more brothers over. If a fight breaks out later, we won't be at a disadvantage."

Du Bozhong said with a smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, I've already asked Xiao Gao to bring people over."
