Starting from Handong, in the name of Xiao Hao!

"Why are you back here today?" Gao Yuliang greeted him, not really trying to find out anything, it was just a casual greeting.

"Teacher Gao, I..." Chen Hai hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

"Yes, I understand!" Gao Yuliang smiled slightly upon hearing this, without actually letting Chen Hai say anything to them.

Chen Hai works in the Anti-Corruption Bureau, which belongs to the Procuratorate and is not part of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission system.

So strictly speaking, if Gao Yuliang were the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, he wouldn't have any jurisdiction over their area.

However, Gao Yuliang also has another identity: he is the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, the number three figure in the province.

They belong to the provincial party committee leadership of Handong Province, which means they have the authority to manage them.

But now, Gao Yuliang understands Chen Hai's attitude.

And it wasn't during work hours, so they didn't make things difficult for me.

However, it would be a joke if one felt no emotion whatsoever.

"I'm sorry, Teacher Gao!" Chen Hai apologized immediately.

"Hey, what are you saying!" Gao Yuliang waved his hand dismissively.

Chang Junhao simply glanced at them without saying anything, indicating that Chen Hai truly didn't take them seriously.

Neither Chen Yanshi nor Gao Yuliang noticed Chang Junhao's change, but Li Weijun, who was standing nearby, did.

"Old Chen!" Li Weijun stepped forward and spoke up at this moment.

"Hey, Wei Jun!" Chen Yanshi chuckled.

“We’ve been bothering you here for quite some time now, it’s time to say goodbye!” Li Weijun said with a smile.

"We've only just arrived, sit a while longer!" Chen Yanshi quickly stopped them.

"Old Chen, we'll be working here from now on. We'll come visit you sometimes!" Li Weijun said, taking Chen Yanshi's hand.

"You've bothered me way too much today!"

"Moreover, our Secretary Chang still needs to return to Luzhou City, so we can't delay tomorrow's work!"

"That's only right, we can't let our work be delayed, so this old man... can't stop you either!"

"You must come often in the future!" Chen Yanshi said.

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen, we will!" With that, Li Weijun began to pack his things and leave.

Chang Junhao also greeted Chen Yanshi.

"Mr. Chen, please wait a moment, we'll be leaving now!"

"Okay, okay, be careful on the road. Come back when you have time. Xiao Hai, go and see him off!" Chen Yanshi said quickly.

"Okay!" Chen Hai said, and came out to see them off.

After Chang Junhao and the others left, Gao Yuliang didn't linger for long before leaving as well.

"Xiao Hao, you're making pretty good progress here!" Li Weijun and the others relaxed and laughed as they looked at Chang Junhao.

"It's alright!" Chang Junhao also laughed.

"You too, I heard you didn't follow the path your family had planned for you?" Li Weijun laughed again.

"Why aren't you listening?" Chang Junhao laughed to himself.

"You didn't go to work in the regiment? Although the power there isn't as great as it is now, there aren't many age requirements, and the speed of promotion is much faster!"

“After a while, he can be directly promoted to the ministerial level. If he’s transferred to a lower level, he’ll be the provincial party secretary!” Li Weijun said with a smile.

“But that would still be missing something!” Chang Junhao shook his head.

“That speed is indeed not slow, but my grandfather and I discussed it and decided to take this route!” Chang Junhao shook his head.

"Oh? The old man agreed himself?" Upon hearing this, Li Weijun also became serious.

That person is not someone he can talk about. Otherwise, not only would it affect his own future, but he might also have trouble getting past his grandfather.

"Yes, joining the troupe would be a shortcut, and you'd rise through the ranks very quickly!"

"However, we do lack a certain foundation, and we don't have many talented people around us. So, let's just take it one step at a time!"

"Although it may have taken a bit longer, the foundation is solid!" Chang Junhao said.

"You'll gain more experience, and you could have done it this way before, but Grandpa also said..."

"As time goes by, it's best to avoid taking this kind of path. Shortcuts always come at a price!"

"Yes!" Li Weijun nodded.

"Forget it, these aren't my strengths anyway. I'll just focus on managing my own affairs!"

"Just let me know if you need anything!"

"Don't worry, I won't hold back!" Chang Junhao laughed as well.

"Xiao Hao!" Li Weijun suddenly became serious.

"Okay, go ahead!" Chang Junhao said without turning his head as he drove.

"You don't have a very good impression of Old Chen's son?" Li Weijun asked, voicing his doubts.

"A little bit!" Chang Junhao said.

"What do you mean? Is there something wrong with Chen Hai?" Upon hearing this, Li Weijun's expression became even more serious.

Although he has this relationship with Chen Yanshi, if Chen Hai really has a problem, then he really needs to reconsider.

"It's not that he has any problems, it's just that this person is a bit out of touch and isn't one of our own!" Chang Junhao said bluntly.

"Hmm!" Upon hearing this, Li Weijun understood the situation.

But doubts still remain.

"Why is he so clueless? Isn't he one of our own?"

"Isn't he a student of Gao Yuliang from the provincial party committee? I think he was even said to be a very close student?"

"Moreover, Gao Yuliang and Old Chen seem to have a pretty good relationship!"

"Their relationship is quite close, isn't it?"

"And you, haven't you always been quite close to Gao Yuliang? Could it be that...?"

"No!" Chang Junhao denied it outright.

"My relationship with Secretary Gao is still pretty good, at least for now!"

"But Chen Hai is not like that, which is why people say he's clueless!"

“He’s not like that? What’s going on?” Li Weijun asked.

"Chen Hai works in the Anti-Corruption Bureau, and he's now the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau!"

"And he was Gao Yuliang's student, and had this kind of relationship with Gao Yuliang!"

"But privately, and even at work, I didn't have much contact with Gao Yuliang!"

"We found almost nothing about Gao Yuliang's work!"

"And as you saw today, your work is kept very secret!"

"But he rose to the position of director of the anti-corruption bureau at such a young age, and there's no denying that he is indeed capable!"

"But to say that Gao Yuliang and Chen Yanshi's own hidden influence weren't involved would be hard for anyone to believe!"

"But that's just how reality is!"

"On the contrary, they have a very close relationship with those in the capital!" Chang Junhao explained.

"The capital? What connections does he have in the capital?" Li Weijun asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I forgot!"

As he spoke, Li Weijun laughed to himself.

"After all, he's Old Chen's son. Wang Xianjun and the others are still in Beijing!"

"Putting everything else aside, getting to know each other shouldn't be a problem!"

"No!" Chang Junhao shook his head.

"They don't have connections there, and those connections are mostly military anyway, so their influence at that level isn't that great!"

"Where is that?" Li Weijun himself frowned.

“It’s from the Zhong family!” Chang Junhao said.

"The Zhong family?" Li Weijun was even more confused.

"Isn't the Zhong family somehow related to your family?"

"You could say there's some connection, but I've only met my grandfather. I was there during the very early years when they were developing their business!"

"As for any kind of friendship, that's nothing!" Chang Junhao shook his head.

"But they are indeed quite capable, having come this far, and they still often think of visiting Grandpa!"

"However, the person connected to Chen Hai is not an important figure in the Zhong family, but one of their sons-in-law!"

"Uh... son-in-law?"
