"Hey, monkey, have you struck it rich?" He Zhou said with a carefree laugh as he just parked the car and swung the car keys in his hand.
This is currently the only four-star hotel in Jingzhou.
As for Hou Liangping, he doesn't know what the family background is. He's just a young man from a small town. He's considered good in the town, but in the heart of Jingzhou, it's nothing special.
Almost subconsciously, He Zhou thought that this should be Zhong Xiaoe's doing!
With the background of the the Zhong Family, this hotel might have some connection with the the Zhong Family.
Hou Liangping stepped forward, clenched his fist and pretended to punch him in the chest, "You, Qi Tongwei, are you accusing me of living off others?"
If it were the original Qi Tongwei from the previous timeline, he naturally wouldn't have the confidence to say such things. Although he didn't receive much help from the the Liang Family, in the eyes of others, he rose to power step by step, becoming the director of the provincial Public Security Bureau all because of the the Liang Family's influence.
This is called "many people's opinions are like refining gold; even if it's just yellow mud, it's still shit."
He Zhou chewed on his gum and put on a pained expression, "You got it, huh? Don't act innocent after taking advantage. I can't even freeload if I want to."
Of course, except for that stupid and malicious old woman, Liang Lu!
It's one thing to be old, but she also had abortions and lost her ability to conceive...
In this era, what Liang Lu has done is absolutely unforgivable and cannot be forgiven by society.
Of course, with the development of society, there are some cuckolded men with abnormal preferences who might still be able to tolerate women like Liang Lu.
The key is that Liang Lu has a high self-esteem and looks down on ordinary men. She is interested in Handong's pride, the half-son of the sky, Qi Tongwei. Hou Liangping clearly knows that Liang Lu is a taboo for his senior brother, and he just smiles directly without saying much.
Chen Hai arrived a little late, with an apologetic look on his face. "There were guests at home, and my dad insisted that I accompany them and chat," he said.
Tsk tsk tsk.
He Zhou couldn't help but feel a bit sarcastic in his heart. This biological son, Chen Yanshi, is always righteous and doesn't use privilege, but he never forgets to pave the way and pull strings for his son.
"Could it be those uncles and uncles of yours?" He Zhou smirked.
Chen Hai looked at him suspiciously and muttered, "I say, Qi Tongwei, you wouldn't have installed a tracker on me, would you?"
"Who knows," Hou Liangping smirked, planning to get back at him for the earlier incident, "Maybe Senior Brother didn't see Chen Yang and took a liking to you, this handsome guy."
He Zhou continued along with his teasing, "I've taken a liking to you, Hou Liangping, how about it, Zhong Xiaoe, are you willing to let him go to me?"
Everyone naturally knew this was just playful banter, but Hou Liangping still put on a frightened expression and kept backing away, "Be careful, my Xiao Ai will duel with you..."
Several people were walking and talking as they went inside.
Chen Hai took a look at the hotel's decorations, secretly amazed, and grabbed Hou Liangping's arm, "Monkey, this is too high-end!"
He may be from a courtyard family, and has seen a lot of the world, but due to Chen Yanshi's strict upbringing, his mindset and living standards are actually very simple, not much different from children from ordinary families in terms of clothing, food, housing, and transportation.
Luxury cars, famous watches, and club models are just topics for boys to talk about, completely distant and irrelevant.
"You don't say, when I first arrived, my legs were like jelly."
Hou Liangping fully agrees, "But you know, the owner of this hotel is a close childhood friend of Xiao Ai, with a card, even after the discount, it won't cost much."
The so-called "courtyard" is probably a high-tiled red wall courtyard, the authentic red descendants of the revolutionary friendship.
He Zhou didn't find it strange at all. He had been in officialdom for some time and had long been accustomed to various privileges and conveniences.
If, for example, Jack Ma were to say, "I have never touched money, I am not interested in money," it would be purely exaggerated. However, for certain privileged classes, it is actually a true portrayal.
Take He Zhou as an example, a chief of the City Criminal Investigation Brigade, who receives good salary and benefits, yet often finds himself at a loss for places to spend money.
Having power means having money. Even if you don't use your power for personal gain, don't accept bribes, and operate within the limits of the law and discipline, you will never find yourself in dire straits.
Of course, it is impossible and not a life pursuit of a qualified Party member to live a life of luxury and indulgence.
Those who are officials and lack money are generally the grassroots group of civil servants.
In short, it means too much work, low pay, and poor treatment, often requiring extra work without enough flexibility. After all, they work in remote and poor areas, dealing with impoverished common people, and even if they are squeezed, they can't get much out of it.
The best way is actually to work hard to expand the cake, increase fiscal revenue, so that the local government may effectively improve the treatment of grassroots civil servants. "This, doesn't sound too good, does it?" Chen Hai said subconsciously.
As a second-generation individual influenced by Chen Yanshi's words and actions, Chen Hai actually opposes this kind of privileged thinking and mindset from the bottom of his heart.
Before Chen Hai could continue, He Zhou patted his shoulder and said, "Alright, alright. Among the ' The Three Heroes of Handong,' only I have an official position for now. You guys have to wait until April even for an internship. Why worry so much?"
The words that were about to be spoken were swallowed back by Chen Hai. Indeed, in such a sensitive position as the the Zhong Family, if Zhong Xiaoe doesn't care, why should he bother?
In fact, in He Zhou's view, judging from Zhong Xiaoe's lifestyle in the TV drama, he doesn't seem like a troublemaker who relies on his family background to act recklessly.
Today's extravagance and grandeur are simply to give Hou Liangping some face and make others envy him.
However, He Zhou understands that for a ambitious man, a relationship where the woman is stronger than the man is definitely not sustainable in the long run.
If Zhong Xiaoe cannot change her mindset quickly, she will most likely still be abandoned by Hou Liangping.
It is said that Qi Tongwei is naturally proud and considers himself extraordinary, but in fact, among The Three Heroes of Handong, how much less arrogant are Hou Liangping and Chen Hai?
"Senior Brother, Chen Hai, let me introduce you to someone,"
As the three entered the private room, Zhong Xiaoe was directing the waiter to rotate the dishes on the table. Hou Liangping hurriedly said, "This is my girlfriend, Zhong Xiaoe."
Zhong Xiaoe smiled sweetly, "You must be the ones that Liangping often mentions, Qi Shixiong and Chen Hai, right? Let's all sit down and chat while we eat."
