PFC Chapter 277 Lu Yuanzhou's Shock
Chapter 277 Lu Yuanzhou's Shock
The girl's name was He Xiao.
Since He Xiao was willing to exchange his contact information during their blind date, it means she has feelings for him.
Taking advantage of the momentum, Qi Tongwei treated He Xiao to dinner near Peking University that very evening.
If it's too far, Qi Tongwei is worried that He Xiao won't go.
Dating is something that needs to be done gradually, slowly, and with time, feelings need to be cultivated.
For the next few days, Qi Tongwei accompanied He Xiao on a tour of Beijing, visiting several tourist attractions.
"Tongwei, who is this?"
That evening, Qi Tongwei and He Xiaogang returned to Beijing University and ran into Lu Yuanzhou.
"This is my girlfriend, He Xiao!"
Qi Tongwei introduced He Xiao.
"He Xiao, this is my classmate Lu Yuanzhou, he works in a ministry!"
He is currently pursuing his doctorate with my advisor, Professor Jun.
Qi Tongwei introduced Lu Yuanzhou to He Xiao.
"Hello, Lu Yuanzhou, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
"Hello, He Xiao, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
He Xiao and Lu Yuanzhou introduced themselves to each other.
"Yuanzhou, have you eaten? We're just about to go eat!"
Qi Tongwei asked, explaining that he and He Xiao had just returned from outside and hadn't eaten yet.
"No! Let me treat you!"
Lu Yuanzhou said.
Qi Tongwei has a girlfriend, so he has to make a gesture.
"We'll treat you! If you want to treat us, it'll be next time!"
Qi Tongwei said.
Normally, they should be the ones paying.
"Fine!"
Lu Yuanzhou didn't stand on ceremony.
Anyway, Qi Tongwei will be frequently traveling to Beijing, so there will be many opportunities to meet.
After dinner, Qi Tongwei escorted He Xiao back to her dormitory and then returned to the hotel.
He plans to renovate and decorate the courtyard house near Peking University so that it will be convenient for him to stay when he comes to Beijing in the future.
He owns ten courtyard houses in Beijing; it would be a waste to leave them empty.
Qi Tongwei plans to give one apartment to his brother and sister-in-law, one apartment to his sister, and one apartment for himself.
The rest can be repaired, renovated, and then rented out.
In addition, the ten buildings along Wudaokou Street also need to be renovated and then rented out.
When Qi Tongwei arrived at the hotel entrance, Lu Yuanzhou had already been waiting for a long time.
Lu Yuanzhou had something to say to Qi Tongwei alone, but since He Xiao was present earlier, he couldn't speak.
"Tongwei, I've already delivered what you asked me to bring..."
Inside the room, Lu Yuanzhou recounted the details of Chen Yang's wedding.
"That's fine then. From now on, I will no longer owe the Chen family anything."
I told Chen Hai about the stock subscription certificates I had previously given him, and he bought 50 of them, making a profit of 20 yuan.
Qi Tongwei said.
Many of his classmates and those from the years before and after him at Handong University knew about the help Chen Yanshi had given him.
In recent years, he has visited Chen Yanshi and Wang Fuzhen every year, just so that people won't say he is ungrateful.
"Your junior, Hou Liangping, is here too. He's been clinging to Zhong Xiaoai ever since he saw her!"
Lu Yuanzhou said.
Hou Liangping's appearance did surprise him; it wasn't that Hou Liangping couldn't come to Chen Yang's wedding.
After all, Hou Liangping and Chen Hai had a very good relationship.
The main reason is that Hou Liangping, like Qi Tongwei, was suppressed by Liang Lu and had very few opportunities to go out.
It seems that Zhong Xiaoai has a special attraction for Hou Liangping; he still can't let go after three years.
"That's for sure. Hou Liangping broke up with Gao Fangfang because he wanted to pursue Zhong Xiaoai."
However, at the time, there were rumors at Handong University that Hou Liangping was two-timing, pursuing Zhong Xiaoai on one hand and Liang Lu on the other.
It is said that Hou Liangping is vain and only wants to curry favor with the powerful and wealthy.
This resulted in Zhong Xiaoai having a bad impression of Hou Liangping and not accepting him.
However, it was later proven that Hou Liangping was not that kind of person.
Over the past two years, Hou Liangping has endured a lot of hardship, constantly striving to gain Zhong Xiaoai's approval.
Qi Tongwei said.
Hou Liangping was going crazy thinking about Zhong Xiaoai.
Because only Zhong Xiaoai could save him from this predicament.
"Does this Zhong Xiaoai have a powerful background?"
Lu Yuanzhou asked.
For Hou Liangping, Gao Fangfang was a good fit, after all, Gao Yuliang was a professor and the director of the Department of Political Science and Law at Handong University, a position equivalent to a division chief.
He was a whole rank higher than Hou Liangping's father, who was a section chief.
With Gao Yuliang's talent, he will become a school leader in just a few years.
Later, Gao Yuliang was directly transferred to the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission, where he served as deputy director and director of the office.
Next, I estimate he'll be promoted to deputy director-general level.
Hou Liangping actually gave up such a good prospective father-in-law.
This suggests that Zhong Xiaoai has a stronger background.
However, he didn't know exactly how strong it was; perhaps Qi Tongwei did.
"Zhong Xiaoai's background is no weaker than Liang Lu's!"
Qi Tongwei said.
Zhong Xiaoai is the woman with the strongest background in name only. Before the Central Procuratorate sends Hou Liangping to Handong, it has to consult Zhong Xiaoai's opinion.
"She's just as strong as Liang Lu, if not weaker, and also from the capital. That's quite rare."
Lu Yuanzhou was shocked. Which minister's daughter could stump Zhong Xiaoai?
In that case, Zhong Xiaoai's background is indeed much stronger than Liang Lu's.
Most ministers in the central government are equivalent to provincial party secretaries or governors in local areas, and are at the same level as the top leaders of the four major local bodies.
When ministers are transferred to local positions, many become provincial party secretaries, and those who are less influential become provincial governors.
If Liang Qunfeng wants to reach the ministerial level, he must first become the deputy secretary before he will have a chance to become a minister.
"It's even more impressive than you think! Her grandfather is a decorated official, and her father is the governor of Bianxi Province!"
Qi Tongwei said.
This is the reason why Zhong Xiaoai can look down on anyone.
"Damn, Zhong Xiaoai's background is so powerful!"
She is not just a little better than Liang Lu, but much better.
Zhong Xiaoai's father being the provincial governor is already quite remarkable, not to mention having a distinguished grandfather.
"Tongwei, you know Zhong Xiaoai's background, why don't you go after her?"
If you could win her over, you wouldn't have to suffer so much oppression from the Liang family!
Lu Yuanzhou thought Qi Tongwei was too foolish; with such a powerful background, why didn't he pursue her?
What a waste!
"She doesn't even look at me, and I only recently found out about her background!"
Qi Tongwei explained.
He already knew about Zhong Xiaoai's background, but from beginning to end, Zhong Xiaoai was always polite to him without being distant.
You can't even get close to them; they keep their distance from you.
"However, you can give it a try; you might just succeed!"
Zhong Xiaoai also works in a ministry!
Qi Tongwei continued.
Although Lu Yuanzhou and Zhong Xiaoai are not in the same department, they are both in Beijing, so it is easy to find each other's workplaces by asking around.
Once you know where Zhong Xiaoai works, you can use work-related exchanges as an excuse to gradually get to know her and then pursue her.
Hou Liangping couldn't escape the Liang family's suppression for the time being, and he still had to go to the front line to fight drugs, so he didn't have much time to come to Beijing to find Zhong Xiaoai.
In this way, Lu Yuanzhou has a great chance.
"Forget it, if someone as influential as you isn't even interested, let alone someone as unknown as me!"
Lu Yuanzhou shook his head.
He was still self-aware enough to know that even Qi Tongwei, a prominent figure at Handong University, looked down on him, so there was no need to mention him, someone who didn't have much of a presence at Handong University.
If you get rejected, you'll be the one who loses face.
It's best not to provoke a true young lady like Zhong Xiaoai.
If he angers one of Zhong Xiaoai's suitors, who also has an impressive background, his life in the ministry will become difficult.
They might even be transferred to a local position.
Having finally been assigned to work in Beijing and entered a ministry, Lu Yuanzhou had no desire to leave.
He is no longer short of money; he has made a considerable amount thanks to the stock subscription certificates that Qi Tongwei gave him.
Later, they made some money from the Hang Seng Index in the Hong Kong stock market.
He no longer has to worry about money.
All that remained was the pursuit of a career in government, and he wanted to climb to the deputy director level as soon as possible.
Finding a suitable partner to marry, and then working hard to climb the social ladder, is the right thing to do.
