Chapter 469: Millennium 4.0

Gao Xiaofeng did not like the worldly affairs of the business world, and in the end, she got her wish and became a middle school history teacher.

Ever since the affordable liquor from Yantai City launched under the banner of "the liquor that even the Beautiful Country loves to drink," it stepped out of Jingzhou and into thousands of households.

This Zhang Ping'an did not lie; this liquor was indeed bought up by Tong Laosi and his group through their pestering, placed in their own supermarkets for sale, and it really did sell well in Los Angeles.

They are currently thinking about getting a larger share to radiate into other cities, but Zhang Ping'an did not agree.

Zhang Ping'an's farm only produces about two million jin of liquor a year, so giving them one-fifth of it every year is already quite a lot.

Although his in-law Liu Haiyang is not the Provincial Governor Liu from the original story, he also stepped down from the position of Provincial Governor of Handong Province last year.

"Hahaha, little brother, this liquor has really touched my heart; it's even more authentic than when I first came to Yantai."

"Look at what you're saying; the brewing technology we possess is not ordinary. I really didn't make much money on this batch of liquor."

Zhang Ping'an was telling the truth; after deducting costs and tariffs, he sells a bottle for twenty yuan and only makes a little over four yuan. Of course, he makes a bit more selling it to Tong Laosi and the others.

Moreover, the crops used for brewing are all diluted with Space Water; long-term healthy drinking is only beneficial to the human body.

Liu Haiyang nodded; he naturally would not doubt it. This liquor is excellent in taste, quality, and packaging, and it is not a bit inferior to the liquor on the market that costs several tens or hundreds of yuan.

The two chatted for a while longer, and Zhang Ping'an left four cases of liquor from different years before heading home.

"Godfather."

"Hmm? Tongwei, why are you here?"

"Godfather, I have something I want to tell you."

"Hmm, go ahead."

"Godfather, I want to go to the local level to gain experience."

Qi Tongwei touched his head awkwardly; he felt a bit sorry for Zhang Ping'an for having transferred him over in the first place.

"Why did you suddenly think of that?"

"My starting point was in Sijiucheng, and I lack local governance experience. Of course, this is also the intention of the leadership."

Zhang Ping'an understood in a second; this is an intentional effort to cultivate Qi Tongwei, waiting for him to be gilded in the local area for a few years before transferring him back to Sijiucheng to hold a higher position.

"Hmm... that's true. So, have you decided where you want to go?"

"Lvzhou."

"Alright, as long as you have thought it through yourself."

In the blink of an eye, another month passed, 1999 came to a perfect close, and the bells of the new millennium rang out.

At the end of January of the new millennium, Qi Tongwei returned to Lvzhou to take office as Deputy Mayor of Lvzhou City and Director of Public Security Bureau, at the Deputy Department Level.

"Hahaha Tongwei, I've finally been looking forward to your arrival. You're about to catch up to your teacher."

"Teacher Gao."

Qi Tongwei was very excited; a large part of the reason he chose Lvzhou was that his mentor Gao Yuliang was here, so at the very least, he would have someone to watch out for and help him when he started his work.

Moreover, Gao Yuliang arrived in Lvzhou even earlier than him and is also the Political and Legal Affairs Committee Secretary, so it can be said that they are naturally of the same faction.

When Liang Qunfeng learned of Qi Tongwei's appointment, he couldn't help but sigh. He was just a mere university student back then, and in eight years, he reached the Deputy Department Level; give him a few more years, and he will be able to catch up to him.

Zhao Lichun felt it was alright; Qi Tongwei's speed of promotion is about the same as his, but his was in an era of wild growth, so they cannot be mentioned in the same breath.

Zhang Ping'an and Zhao Lichun can be considered old acquaintances; every time they talk on the phone, he still calls him Brother Zhang.

Zhang Ping'an also gave him a timely reminder not to let his children go into business, otherwise, it would be a waste of his political resources.

Whether it was the subtle influence of Zhang Ping'an or something else, Zhao Lichun's eldest daughter is ordinary, but his thirty-three-year-old second daughter, Zhao Xiaohui, is now a Department Level Cadre.

And at this time, Zhao Ruilong is already twenty-eight years old; he also did not go into business, but instead entered politics under Zhao Lichun's arrangement. He has been working for four years now and is a Division-level Cadre.

It can be said that the current Zhao Lichun is almost impeccable, except for his office in an air-conditioned room. He is only fifty-two years old now, and it is not impossible for him to take another step up in the future.

The seventy-year-old Chen Yanshi has now completely retired. Just like in the original story, he sold his property, donated the money, and then paid to move into a nursing home. At the same time, his Second Procuratorate was still established.

This made Chen Hai, who works at the Jingzhou Procuratorate, very embarrassed, and at the same time, he developed a desire to transfer away.

This way, he can get rid of the current embarrassment and also give his good brother Hou Liangping a little more opportunity.

They are the twin stars of the Jingzhou Procuratorate, both progressing by chasing after each other. Now they are both Deputy Division Level officials in the First Division of the Anti-Corruption Bureau. If he goes to Lvzhou, he can also advance further, and Hou Liangping will have a greater chance of promotion in Jingzhou.

"Liangping, I am planning to apply for a transfer to work in Lvzhou."

"What's wrong, Chen Hai?"

Hou Liangping actually knew it clearly; he also felt embarrassed for his good brother. It is helpless to have such a selfless and devoted father.

Let alone him, Chen Yanshi's standard made all the retired cadres feel very awkward, one by one.

Everyone is retired, and your high-mindedness is one thing, but it puts everyone else on the fire to be roasted; it's not right to follow suit, and it's not right not to.

Zhao Lichun was also almost stupidly cried by Chen Yanshi, who hangs the matter of his air-conditioned office on his lips every day. Now, he is indeed standing on the opposite side of all the officials in Jingzhou.

At the same time, Zhao Lichun also has a bit of admiration in his heart; Chen Yanshi can fear no worldly gaze, and he asks himself that he cannot do that.

Chen Hai shook his head with a bitter smile, and Hou Liangping patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Going to Lvzhou is also good; Teacher Gao can take care of you over there."

"Hmm, not just Teacher Gao, my brother-in-law has also gone over."

"Senior Qi?"

After seven or eight years, Hou Liangping heard the name Qi Tongwei again, and his heart was still incomparably complicated.

"Yes, the Deputy Mayor of Lvzhou and Director of Public Security Bureau," Chen Hai said proudly.

Actually, Chen Hai did not know yet that Chen Yang had also been transferred over, and is the Deputy Procurator-General of the Lvzhou Procuratorate, at the Deputy Division Level.

The next day, Lu Yike learned about Chen Hai's transfer, and she followed suit and transferred to Lvzhou.

After the New Year, Chen Hai looked at Lu Yike, who had arrived in Lvzhou before him, and was a bit stunned.

"Why are you here?"

"Why can't I be here? It's just a normal job transfer, don't make a fuss."

Looking at the stunned and shocked Chen Hai, Lu Yike's eyes were filled with smiles.

"Did the monkey tell you that?"

Naturally, it was Hou Liangping who said it; who in the entire Procuratorate doesn't know that Lu Yike likes Chen Hai?

Hou Liangping also didn't want his good brother Chen Hai to remain single forever, and Lu Yike's family background was not simple either, making her a perfect match for Chen Hai.

"Why must you do this?"

Chen Hai naturally understood Lu Yike's feelings, but his wife had only passed away not long ago, and he truly had no mood to go talk about love at the moment.

"I am willing."

Chen Hai shook his head and stopped thinking about it, going to complete his onboarding procedures; Deputy Bureau Chief of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, Deputy Division Level.

Lu Yike was also in the Anti-Corruption Bureau, having become the Deputy Division Chief of the First Division, Deputy Section Level; one must know that at this time, Lu Yike had been working for no more than a year.

In the evening, Qi Tongwei played host and set up a banquet at his home, inviting Gao Yuliang and Chen Hai.

"Yike?"

Chen Hai was truly dumbfounded; how could he run into Lu Yike everywhere? Lu Yike, who was behind Gao Yuliang, blinked at Chen Hai.

"Do you two know each other?" Qi Tongwei had spent many years in Sijiucheng and was not clear about their relationship.
