Officialdom: The beautiful leader took me to the top

To put it bluntly, what Bai Fengying can give is something she was born with.

Some are born with it, some are not.

No matter how hard he tries, he cannot achieve it through effort alone.

These things have been deeply ingrained in the social hierarchy, creating an insurmountable chasm.

Even after decades of hard work, he couldn't overcome it!

Fortunately, Bai Fengying is beautiful; after all, she is the eldest daughter of the Bai family.

With genes as they are, things can't get too bad.

Qin Zhiyuan also tried to solidify his relationship with her and make their life better, since no one wants to spend all their time with a haggard wife.

Unfortunately, this woman came from a prominent family and had been spoiled since childhood.

He was married into the Bai family and came from a humble background.

In both work and life, this woman displayed an extremely strong desire for control in every aspect!

Not only do we need to adopt similar lifestyle habits, but even a few words exchanged with a female colleague at work during the day cannot escape the Bai family's spies!

Yang Li, who worked at the company, was placed by Bai Fengying's side specifically to monitor her, and Bai Fengying actually enjoyed this feeling of being high and mighty.

Over time, this high-pressure lifestyle made Qin Zhiyuan increasingly wary of the relationship.

It even developed a sense of resistance, like a bird trying to break free of its cage.

Even the few times a month they had sex as a couple became a routine.

However, Qin Zhiyuan didn't dare to turn against him at the time and could only swallow his anger.

The Bai family's power is simply too great. Once he loses his status as the Bai family's son-in-law, it's like having his wings clipped.

Fortunately, Qin Zhiyuan's efforts paid off. He was surrounded by the aura of being the son-in-law of the Bai family, and with his own hard work, he succeeded.

We've finally made it to where we are today, and our wings are gradually growing stronger!

Gradually, they gained the resources to contend with the Bai family and the confidence to break away from them.

The fundamental reason why Qin Zhiyuan never dared to turn against his father was because his father-in-law was a powerful figure in his life.

Even though my father-in-law is retired, he can still manipulate things at will.

Even the slightest movement of a finger could shatter him to pieces, condemning him to eternal damnation!

With the passing of his father-in-law, Qin Zhiyuan's ambition was fully unleashed, plunging the marriage into crisis.

The two have been separated for a month since the father-in-law passed away.

His wife was in the bedroom, and he slept in the study.

Aside from regular meals, they rarely see each other.

They treated each other with the utmost respect, but there was almost no communication between the couple.

According to Qin Zhiyuan's plan, he would formally propose a divorce to his wife once the three-month mourning period was over.

As for the work arrangements, he has already taken care of everything.

He went to Handong, returned to work in the province, and became the head of the provincial department.

After all, he was born in Handong. Returning to his birthplace would bring honor to his ancestors and make all his efforts meaningful.

Moreover, Handong also has Tang poetry, even though he hurt the other party back then.

But Qin Zhiyuan believed that the other party still had feelings for him.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have remained unmarried for so many years.

That heartbreak from back then has always been a regret in Qin Zhiyuan's heart.

If we return to Handong, we'll have the advantage of being close to the source and perhaps be able to make up for this regret!

Including this time, when he returned to Handong as the leader of the supervisory team to guide the work, it was also to pave the way for a future transfer and, incidentally, to ease the tension with Tang Shi.

Unexpectedly, an unexpected discovery was made in Tianzhou.

The presence of Nian Nian, in particular, strengthened Qin Zhiyuan's resolve to return to Handong!

Although Niannian was fostered by Song Ci and Li Dong, this does not prevent him from being Niannian's biological father.

Only by returning to Handong can I be closer to my daughter and take better care of her.

Especially after returning to Tianjing this time, Qin Zhiyuan was almost eager to go home.

If it weren't for the mourning period, he would have wanted to confront Bai Fengying immediately; he couldn't bear it for even a day longer.

Unexpectedly, his wife beat him to it.

Although Bai Fengying hadn't spoken yet, Qin Zhiyuan had a premonition.

The matter in Tianzhou can no longer be kept secret.

Otherwise, given his wife's personality, she would never sit in the living room waiting for him until late at night!

If it were just about Tang poetry, Qin Zhiyuan would have been prepared to turn against the Bai family long ago.

But now that Niannian is involved, Qin Zhiyuan is somewhat hesitant.

Tang Shi is the daughter of the Song family. Now that Song Chenfeng is about to be transferred to the provincial capital, he can protect Tang Shi.

Even the Bai family wouldn't dare to overstep their bounds, let alone pose any threat to Tang Shi. Qin Zhiyuan isn't afraid of a falling out.

But Niannian is still young. Can Li Dong protect the child on his own?

Therefore, Qin Zhiyuan still wanted to resolve this matter peacefully, avoid unnecessary complications, and part ways with Bai Fengying amicably.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhiyuan forced himself to remain calm, placed his briefcase on the entryway cabinet, and tried to make his tone sound natural, "Why aren't you asleep yet? It's so late, what are you waiting for me for?"

Bai Fengying finally raised her eyes, her gaze as cold as ice, piercing straight into Qin Zhiyuan's eyes, "When you come back, we'll talk about things in Tanzhou."

The name "Tianzhou" sent a shiver down Qin Zhiyuan's spine!

As expected, Bai Fengying noticed it.

Qin Zhiyuan tried to keep his tone calm, "The matter is over, it was just a small problem, and it has been resolved."

"I've been in a meeting at the ministry, and I'm a bit tired now."

"Let's talk about it tomorrow."

It wasn't a discussion, it was a direct decision: "I don't want to talk about it today, we can discuss it tomorrow."

Bai Fengying came prepared today, and it might not be beneficial for her to reveal her hand now.

Qin Zhiyuan still wanted to wait and delay until Bai Fengying calmed down before discussing the follow-up.

In the past, Qin Zhiyuan would never have spoken to the eldest daughter of the Bai family in such a tone.

Now that my father-in-law has passed away, the situation is different.

None of the Bai family's descendants are capable; just recently, an elder of the Bai family was disciplined by the disciplinary committee for violating laws and regulations.

As a result, the Bai family is now facing a generational gap and has no capable pillars of support.

Even the Bai family's current prestige depends on him, their son-in-law.

Therefore, Qin Zhiyuan's status in the family is now far greater than it was back then!

Bai Fengying abruptly stopped him, her tone forceful, "What? My father has passed away, and now I don't even have the right to speak to you, the assistant minister?"

"Fine, if you don't want to talk about it, then forget it."

"I'll come to your workplace tomorrow, and we'll have a good talk in your office!"

Bai Fengying emphasized the words "have a good chat," clearly implying a double meaning.

After saying these words, she didn't understand Qin Zhiyuan's response at all, and got up to leave.

Qin Zhiyuan's steps seemed to be nailed to the entrance, his fingertips gripping the handle of his briefcase, his knuckles turning white!

Bai Fengying's words were like an ice pick, piercing into the place he cared about most.

His career, which he had painstakingly cultivated over decades, could not be ruined by this farce of tearing each other apart, and Qin Zhiyuan's idea of ​​having a proper chat came to an end!
