Zhao Xinglong, like Li Guohua, is an overseas returnee. However, their characters couldn't be more different. Li Guohua is aloof, as if he looks down on everything. But as someone who has worked with him, Nie Zhenbang can clearly see that Li Guohua is the kind of person who is selfish and narrow-minded.
But Zhao Xinglong is different. This man has the pride of a scion of a prestigious family, yet he treats his friends honestly and has no interest in politics whatsoever.
However, that's just a matter of interest. Growing up in such a family, among the scions of the prestigious families in Jingcheng, there aren't many without a political mind. A typical example is Zhou Chen. Under such influence, everyone will have some awareness, more or less.
From what Zhao Xinglong just said, Nie Zhenbang can be sure that they weren't empty words – there must be something behind them. Hence, he asked: "Xinglong, you've got something on your mind? Has something happened in New Li City?"
