Qi Tongwei throws a sniper rifle, scaring Hou Liangping and Sha Ruijin to their knees

After saying goodbye to his big boss, Qi Tongwei still had something to deal with in Beijing.

Zhong Zhengguo's invitation.

He knew that Zhong Zhengguo's invitation was not simple. Although Zhong Zhengguo did not say it explicitly, Qi Tongwei could feel that he might have some intentions, perhaps wanting him to become his son-in-law or something like that.

Because Zhong Xiaoai's previous actions all showed that she had this intention!

But Qi Tongwei would never get close to the Zhong family and would not be involved in such a network of relationships.

So he thought of a solution, which was to call Zhao Mengsheng over.

When Qi Tongwei arrived at the agreed location, Zhong Zhengguo was already waiting there.

After a while, Zhong Xiaoai also came. She was wearing a light white dress today, the cut of the dress just highlighted her figure. There was delicate lace on the dress, looming, adding a bit of elegance.

Her hair was simply tied up, with a few strands hanging by her ears, making her look capable yet feminine.

She wore a pair of small pearl earrings on her ears, which gave off a soft luster under the light. Her makeup was light and elegant, with only a hint of lipstick adding a touch of brightness to her face.

When Zhong Zhengguo saw Qi Tongwei, he warmly invited him to sit down and said, "Tongwei, today I just want to have a good meal with you and relax."

Qi Tongwei responded with a smile, but he was secretly alert in his heart.

At the dinner table, Zhong Zhengguo started talking about some light topics, seemingly unintentionally, but gradually developed in the direction of getting closer.

Qi Tongwei responded politely.

Finally, Zhao Mengsheng sent a message.

Qi Tongwei immediately said, "Mr. Zhong, Commander Zhao from the Southern Military Region is here. It's getting late. He asked me to go to the military headquarters. I have something to discuss with them. What do you think?"

"Chief Zhao? Zhao Mengsheng?"

Zhong Zhengguo was very surprised. It seemed that the relationship between Qi Tongwei and Zhao Mengsheng was not groundless!

Seeing that he was still unwilling to give up, Qi Tongwei changed his words and said, "Hey! I just told him that I will come over after I finish my meal with you. He is the leader, so he asked me to come over. If I were to have dinner with an ordinary person, I would definitely go over directly. I can't not give him this honor."

"But eating with you is different."

“He gave me time.”

"Ding!"

Say it.

Qi Tongwei's cell phone rang.

Zhao Mengsheng played cooperatively.

Zhao Mengsheng on the other end of the phone said, "Tongwei, I haven't seen Xiao Zhong for a long time. I'll go over there too."

Zhong Zhengguo heard it.

He had to agree.

Although Zhong Zhengguo’s current level is very high, so what?

In front of Zhao Mengsheng, an older generation person who is more than ten years older than him.

He still has to be respected.

"Welcome!" He was helpless, but had to pretend to be excited and said, "Ask Mr. Zhao to come over. I haven't seen him for a long time. No! I'll send someone to pick him up!"

Qi Tongwei nodded immediately.

Twenty minutes later.

Zhao Mengsheng is here.

He also brought his young daughter Zhao Can.

"Today, Zhao Can and I brought some goodies to the capital. This is the pride of our Southern Military Region. Let's have a meal together today and make everyone happy."

When Qi Tongwei saw Zhao Mengsheng, a barely perceptible look of relief appeared in his eyes.

Zhao Mengsheng laughed: "Tongwei, I came here as soon as I received your message. Your achievement this time really made us all proud."

When everyone arrived at the dinner table, Zhao Can and Qi Tongwei seemed to have a very close relationship.

As soon as Zhao Can saw Qi Tongwei, his eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Brother Qi, I missed you so much! You don't know that your deeds have always inspired us when we were in the military region. Every time you carried out a mission, your courage and wisdom made us admire you very much."

Qi Tongwei also responded with a smile: "Xiao Zhao, don't just praise me, you have also done a lot of great things in the military region."

Zhao Can waved his hands quickly: "Brother Qi, this is different. Your several cross-border operations were all thrilling, like legendary stories. Moreover, the new technologies and new thinking you brought to our military region have greatly improved our training and combat capabilities."

They were like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years and had endless topics to talk about.

Zhao Can kept picking up food for Qi Tongwei, muttering, "Brother Qi, this dish is a specialty of the capital, try it, it's delicious."

Qi Tongwei did not refuse and accepted it with pleasure. He also shared his food experiences in other places with Zhao Can.

Zhong Xiaoai watched from the side, feeling jealous. She felt like an outsider when she saw Zhao Can and Qi Tongwei interacting so intimately.

She originally thought that she could have more exchanges with Qi Tongwei today and get closer to each other, but now Qi Tongwei's attention is all on Zhao Can.

There was a hint of disappointment in her eyes, and her originally elegant sitting posture became a little stiff. She tried to find a topic to join their conversation, and said softly: "Qi Tongwei, you have experienced so much outside, do you have any special stories to tell us?"

But Qi Tongwei was chatting enthusiastically with Zhao Can and did not hear her words at first.

Zhong Xiaoai's face flushed slightly. She felt a little embarrassed, and the jealousy in her heart became even stronger.

She watched Qi Tongwei and Zhao Can chatting and laughing, and thought to herself, "Why is Zhao Can so annoying? He always monopolizes Qi Tongwei."

Her fingers unconsciously clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and the originally smooth handkerchief was wrinkled.

She raised her voice again and said, "Qi Tongwei, I'm asking you a question."

Qi Tongwei finally reacted and turned around and responded: "Oh, Xiao Ai, there's actually nothing special. It's just some experiences while carrying out the mission." After that, he turned around and continued chatting with Zhao Can.

Zhong Xiaoai's face turned a little ugly. She felt that she was ignored by Qi Tongwei.

She was both angry and helpless. She was angry at Qi Tongwei's attitude towards her, but helpless because she couldn't get angry.

She could only sit there silently, looking at Qi Tongwei and Zhao Can from time to time. The jealousy in her heart made her lose interest in the delicious food in front of her.

Zhong Zhengguo felt a little unhappy when he saw this situation.

He originally wanted to take advantage of this dinner opportunity to further deepen his relationship with Qi Tongwei, but he didn't expect Zhao Mengsheng to interfere and mess up his plans.

But he couldn't say anything.

Zhao Meng was born here.

He even tried to chat with me about some family matters from time to time, and didn't let me talk to Qi Tongwei at all.

that's it.

The atmosphere at the dinner table seemed lively and harmonious, but in fact it was empty and boring, and the meeting soon ended.

After leaving Zhong Xiaoai and Zhong Zhengguo, Qi Tongwei's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile.

The smile contained both the relief of having escaped a potential conspiracy and the pride in his own clever arrangement.

Zhao Mengsheng and Zhao Can also smiled at each other. Although they did not fully understand all of Qi Tongwei's inner thoughts, they still found the fact that he had just successfully disrupted the situation quite interesting.

Zhao Mengsheng shook his head helplessly and said with emotion: "Most people are like this now, forming cliques everywhere, joining those who are valuable and kicking out those who are not. They are used to it. It's not like us back then, when we were just passionate. I still remember my old group leader, he didn't care about the life and death of us so-called second-generation officials, he just went up when we were supposed to, and I got through it that way too."

His eyes revealed a hint of nostalgia for the past years, an era full of purity and passion, which formed a sharp contrast with some of the complicated intrigues in the officialdom today.

After that, Zhao Mengsheng's expression became serious and he got to the point: "Tongwei, I came to the capital this time to help you. Although you have made a name for yourself in the local area, you also know that having more contact with the military will only benefit your development."

"Besides, we are here to take you to meet the military and let them see the latest scientific research results of the Southern Military Region. This scientific research result is not simple. It is the result of the hard work of many people in the military region. If it can be further valued and promoted by the military, it will be a big deal for our entire military region."
