HCB Chapter 452 Conversation between Husband and Wife
Chapter 452 Conversation between Husband and Wife
Despite Qi Tongwei's current dazzling appearance, his brilliance will not last long.
Xichun County has shown significant improvement, and it won't be long before someone comes looking for Taozi.
At that time, Qi Tongwei will have to step aside or go to another underdeveloped county to develop the economy.
As a prominent family in Beijing, the Zhong family could help Qi Tongwei clear all obstacles in his path and ultimately help him reach the position of vice-ministerial level.
The Zhong family is not a narrow-minded family like the Liang family; they would not deliberately suppress others.
As long as Qi Tongwei pledges allegiance to the Zhong family, the Zhong family will surely help him rise step by step to the vice-ministerial level.
With such a great opportunity presented to him, Qi Tongwei didn't know how to cherish it.
Qi Tongwei's wife came from an ordinary family in Southwest Province and could not offer him any help in his career.
An official who has no support will find it difficult to rise to a high position, no matter how capable he is.
After get off work, Qi Tongwei and He Xiao waited for Zhong Xiaoai downstairs in the dormitory building.
"Seniors, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!"
Zhong Xiaoai said after coming downstairs.
"It's alright, junior. Let me introduce you. This is my wife, He Xiao!"
Qi Tongwei said.
"Wife, this is Zhong Xiaoai, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Xichun County!"
She also graduated from the Department of Political Science and Law at Handong University, five years my junior!
Qi Tongwei said.
"Hello, sister-in-law!"
Zhong Xiaoai smiled and shook hands with He Xiao.
"Hello, Secretary Zhong!"
He Xiao said, holding Zhong Xiaoai's hand.
Qi Tongwei had told her about Zhong Xiaoai's background; she was the daughter of a prominent family in Beijing.
Afterwards, the three got into the car and headed to the restaurant...
"Tongwei, your junior is gentle and approachable. She doesn't seem like the daughter of a prominent family in Beijing!"
Back in the dormitory, He Xiao said.
From the moment they met until after the meal, she observed Zhong Xiaoai. She noticed that Zhong Xiaoai didn't have the arrogance often associated with scions of wealthy families.
"She was quite low-key. When she was at Handong University, nobody knew that her family background was extraordinary!"
Qi Tongwei said.
If he weren't a time traveler, he wouldn't know about Zhong Xiaoai's background.
Of all the students at Handong University, only Hou Liangping probably knew about Zhong Xiaoai's background.
"Zhong Xiaoai has such a good background, and she's your junior from school. You should try to get along with her."
You might need her help at work!
He Xiao said.
The connections of powerful families in the capital should be utilized whenever possible.
"Of course, but I won't ask her for help unless absolutely necessary!"
Qi Tongwei said.
"why?"
He Xiao asked in bewilderment, "Why not use the resources available?"
"Logically speaking, if Zhong Xiaoai wanted to gain experience at the grassroots level, she should have gone to Bianxi Province."
After all, her father is the Party Secretary of Bianxi Province, so he can take better care of her.
Even if her father is transferred in a few years, with his connections in Bianxi Province, she can still train steadily and advance step by step.
The reason she came to Xichun County was to follow me to improve her grades, grow quickly, and incidentally bring me into the Zhong family!
Two or three years ago, I would have joined the Zhong family without hesitation.
After all, the Zhong family is much stronger than the Liang family. With the Zhong family's protection, I don't have to worry about the Liang family's suppression!
At that time, I was still struggling and desperately hoped that someone would lend me a hand and pull me out of the mire.
If someone is willing to lend me a hand, I will remember their kindness and try my best to repay them.
The whole of Handong University knows that I was suppressed by Liang Lu.
As a student majoring in political science and law, Zhong Xiaoai was even more aware of the situation.
If she had helped me back then, I would have been very grateful to her and the Zhong family, and I would have strived to become a capable assistant to the Zhong family.
But she didn't make a move; she just watched coldly from the sidelines.
In her eyes, I was suppressed by Liang Lu and it was basically impossible for me to make a comeback.
To others, I am a graduate student and the president of the student union, which is very impressive.
But in Zhong Xiaoai's eyes, I am just a peasant from the countryside.
What ability does a country bumpkin like me have to fight against the family of the provincial political and legal affairs secretary?
I am of no use to the Zhong family.
Being low-key, she wouldn't reveal her family background for a completely unrelated senior.
Two or three years ago, although I met a mentor, he was not enough to pull me out of the mire and get rid of the Liang family's oppression.
But later, higher-level leaders helped me out and temporarily freed me from the Liang family's oppression, so I naturally became one of them.
Even though we've separated now and are working in different places, I can't switch to working for someone else.
Otherwise, I would be seen as a treacherous and ungrateful person.
Qi Tongwei said.
"Later, I turned Jinshan County into a county with a GDP of 10 billion yuan and became a department-level leader, which had some effect on the Zhong family."
Given that Zhong Xiaoai and I are senior and junior classmates, they naturally wanted to recruit me into their group.
At that time, the Zhong family will have one more person who knows how to develop the economy.
In addition, after I came to Xichun County, I increased the GDP from 5.1 million to 28.78 billion in just over four months.
This proves that no matter where or what the conditions are, I can make the economy grow rapidly.
This made the Zhong family even more eager to recruit me into their ranks.
But I'm not someone who has no one to protect me anymore. Even without the Zhong family's help, I can solve many problems and develop the economy.
Under these circumstances, it was even less likely that I would join the Zhong family.
Therefore, cooperation is possible, but there's no way I'll join the Zhong family!
Qi Tongwei continued.
"What if the Zhong family tries to trip you up?"
He Xiao said worriedly.
If the Zhong family fails to win over Qi Tongwei, it's not impossible that they might try to trip him up.
"Probably not. The Zhong family's main goal is to get Zhong Xiaoai to achieve good results. The better I do, the faster she can grow."
If I were to create another county with a GDP of 10 billion, given the Zhong family's strength, Zhong Xiaoai would immediately take over as county head, so that she could be promoted to deputy director level even faster.
The province and city have already assigned me tasks.
I must also create another county with a GDP of 10 billion yuan to prove my ability.
"If I can create another county with a GDP exceeding 10 billion yuan, I can be promoted to deputy director-general level in just a few years."
Qi Tongwei said.
"Then aren't you under too much pressure?"
He Xiao asked with concern.
"It's quite a challenge, but I can overcome it! I come from a rural background, and if I want to climb higher, I must constantly overcome the pressure."
Qi Tongwei said.
……
"By the way, Tongwei, Xiaoguang is graduating next year. Where would be a good place for him to work?"
He Xiao asked that her younger brother, He Guangming, had graduated with a master's degree that year.
"Let's see how the school assigns students. It would be best if they could go to the provincial party committee and government or the city party committee and government of Shancheng."
Don't be afraid if you go to other cities, counties, or even townships.
As long as he's willing to work hard, he'll climb up eventually.
I will share my experience with him then.
Qi Tongwei said.
He wouldn't speak up for his brother-in-law; he wanted his brother-in-law to work diligently rather than take shortcuts from the start.
Of course, he will help his brother-in-law when he gets promoted in the future.
"All right!"
He Xiao said.
"Have him apply for a part-time doctoral program. If his school isn't good enough, you can get him one at Peking University."
Qi Tongwei added.
"Then why not let him go straight to a doctoral program?"
He Xiao said.
A PhD is much better than a Master's degree; you can be promoted to deputy director in about three years.
"Let him start working first. I heard that job assignments might not be guaranteed after a few years."
"If I hadn't just received the news, I would have already let my sister start working."
Qi Tongwei said.
