He won 900 million in the lottery.

Chapter 151 A Year of Honing a Sword

Main hall.

The old man sat upright in a grand chair, surrounded by several noble ladies, some standing and some sitting.

"grandfather!"

"Sigh, the little bandit has finally arrived."

Wishing you good health, a cheerful disposition, and happiness every day to come!

"Haha, okay."

Grandpa, wishing you a long and healthy life, and all your wishes fulfilled!

I finished reading the congratulatory message properly, and then took out a wooden box containing health-preserving pills that I had specially asked Zheng Wei to make.

The matter was urgent, and there were only enough materials to make one.

"This is a longevity elixir I asked a friend to make. I hope the old man will live as long as the Southern Mountains!"

"Hehe, good, young man, you have plenty of energy."

The old man opened the wooden box in front of him and sniffed the pills.

"Good stuff, it tastes like an old recipe, very thoughtful."

Zhou Minyi's face lit up with joy.

When I took this out, she even looked at it carefully and knew it was a good thing.

The Zhou family also has ancient remedies; they are a family of martial arts practitioners, and their medicines for sprains and bruises are very effective.

After all, it's firsthand experience!

Then, Zhou Minyi led me to greet everyone one by one.

Of course, there's also her mother.

Hello, Auntie.

"It's been a long time, Xiao Tianyi."

I scratched my head. People in the police force have such good memories. They could still remember a couple they met more than ten years ago.

Seeing that the room was full of women, I excused myself and left the main hall.

Zhou Minyi stayed.

I just went out.

I saw my uncle Zhou Ren waving at me.

I walked over and found Zhou Fan, Liu Weicheng, and Feng Hong there.

"Let me formally introduce Shen Tianyi, our Xiao Nuonuo's boyfriend."

Damn it, compared to these guys, my composure is like that of a greenhorn.

Even the most thick-skinned person starts to become reserved.

"Now you know how to blush?"

Liu Weicheng was the first to break the silence.

"This is Feng Hong, the newly appointed director of the Municipal Finance Bureau of Liancheng."

"Director Feng!"

I reached out and shook hands with Feng Hong.

"Your uncle is usually quite busy, so just let me know if you need anything in the future."

"Oh, I'll be troubling you a lot then."

"Crackling and popping!" [Sound of firecrackers]

"Dinner's ready. Let's go, eat and chat."

There are also rules to follow when it comes to eating.

Inside the main hall, all the women were present.

People just sat around outside; it was all men.

Those who do business, those within the system, and fellow villagers, categorized by city.

There are many people.

There are all sorts of circles.

I was stunned for a moment. Where should I sit?

The youngest member of the Zhou family's younger generation is Zhou Minyi.

There's a gap in age groups going further up...

"Tianyi, it's been a long time."

At that moment, a man walked up to me. He was in his thirties and had a mature and steady demeanor.

"Brother Fei."

Finally, they found someone they knew: Zhou Fei, Zhou Minyi's cousin, who was also Zhou Ren's son, and he was also doing business in the provincial capital.

When we were in school, Zhou Minyi was targeted by people in society for revenge, and we had some dealings with them.

"Come on, sit at my table."

I had a meal with an acquaintance, and it was quite enjoyable.

After dinner, Zhou Fei and I were both called to a tea room, where we sat quietly behind the curtain.

"Sit here and don't make a sound."

There were six or seven people inside the curtain; these people must be the backbone of the Zhou family.

The old man said, "Liancheng is home, it's our foundation, and we can't be without a voice."

Liu Weicheng: "It will take another month to finish in Shanghai. If nothing unexpected happens, three years should be enough."

three years?

Will Liu Weicheng be able to enter the Standing Committee?

Zhou Ren: "Dad, is there any hope for the second son? He made such a huge sacrifice to come here, and it's been 10 years, and there's still no definite news."

The old man said, "It took ten years to hone this skill, and now its edge is fully concealed. Back then, I went to great lengths to transfer Zhou Fan to the provincial government, all for this day."

"Did it work?"

"real?"

The old man said, "The more this is the case, the more the Zhou family must abide by the rules. Some people have earned enough money, so don't make me talk to them alone anymore."

Promoted to Director-General, Executive Deputy Director-General?

No, it should be called the Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and Executive Deputy Director of the Provincial Public Security Department.

Sun Ce served as a section chief for 23 years, but never even reached the level of a deputy section chief.

Kong Guangze signed a contract to sell himself into servitude in order to secure a job after graduation, starting as a deputy director.

Zhou Fan, the future father-in-law, was transferred from the position of deputy mayor of Liancheng City and concurrently served as the director of the city's public security bureau. Ten years ago, he was transferred to the provincial capital to serve as the deputy director of the provincial public security department, a lateral transfer and a promotion.

Ten years of honing our skills, all for this day.

I did not participate.

But I witnessed the rise of the Zhou family firsthand.

The meeting adjourned.

The old man is getting old and doesn't have as much energy anymore.

It's already an exception that I've been awake for this long in a day.

The entire tea room.

All that was left were Zhou Ren, Liu Weicheng, Feng Hong, and me.

Liu Weicheng: "Tianyi, your uncle said you're going to share some of the computing power project's profits with the Chen family?"

I nodded, quite certain: "The Chen family in Liancheng is like a centipede that's dead but not fallen. Why don't I just exchange computing power projects with them and completely cut off their foothold in Liancheng?"

Feng Hong nodded in agreement.

"That's feasible. The province values ​​technological development, and this is a good opportunity to expand into the provincial capital—"

"Wei Cheng!"

Liu Weicheng reached out to stop Zhou Ren from speaking.

"Tianyi, you already know about the Zhou family's situation. I'm not forcing you to invest in the provincial capital, nor am I trying to make you the vanguard for the Zhou family. You should understand what I mean."

clear.

Liu Weicheng is making me sign a pledge.

I've already met the old man.

If you devote yourself entirely to the Shen family, how can you be a son-in-law of the Zhou family?

If you consume the Zhou family's resources, you have to work for the Zhou family.

This is the rule of wealthy and powerful families.

It's impossible to support another Shen family using the Zhou family's resources.

However, I have my own reasons.

Liu Weicheng is indeed an experienced man; he's very good at understanding my thoughts.

"The Chen family has sent people."

Someone outside shouted.

Liu Weicheng gave me a deep look: "Let's go, let's go out and see who the Chen family is really relying on in the provincial capital. Tianyi, you have plenty of time to think it over."

Both are from Liancheng.

The Chen and Zhou families have a very close relationship.

Three people from the Chen family arrived.

Chen Hangtian.

There was also a man and a woman, presumably a married couple, and the atmosphere within the system was quite strong.

Zhou Fan stepped forward and shook hands!

Goodness, this is a high level!

Liu Weicheng, who was standing to the side, was stunned: "Chen Zeyi, the director of the political department of the provincial procuratorate, this guy is almost retired! No wonder Wu Lei was able to get promoted."

When Chen Hangtian saw me, he grinned at me.

Meeting with an acquaintance.

"Director Chen."

"Director Zhou."

The two shook hands.

I would call it the century-long handshake between the Chen and Zhou families.

The two walked together to a room on the side, and Liu Weicheng followed them inside.

Feng Hong, along with several other members of the Zhou family, who were probably also part of the system, were waiting outside.

I waved to Chen Hangtian.

The solution lies with the Chen family.

Otherwise, before I can even grow strong enough, Liu Weicheng will crush me on the beach!

The two were alone.

"Brother Shen is truly remarkable; you're a step ahead in strategy."

"Stop praising me, everyone's playing their cards right. I'd like to apologize to Brother Chen, how about we shake hands and make peace?"

Chen Hangtian had an expectant expression: "Uncle Wu told me about it. He was planning to invite you to the provincial capital in a while, but I didn't expect to meet you today. How does it feel to become the son-in-law of such a prestigious family?"

"Awesome, it's good to have a big tree to lean on for shade."

"You're all soft inside, but you're stubborn. I admire your ability to brag."
