Name: My father Yuan Mu

"Xiao Ai! What's wrong with you?"

Zhong Xiaoai was so angry that he laughed, and he even asked himself what was wrong?

"Hou Liangping! How dare you ask me what's wrong? What were you doing at Teacher Gao's house just now? Your words were full of sarcasm towards Qi Tongwei. How did he offend you?"

How did he offend me? Hearing this, Hou Liangping fell into deep thought. It seemed that Qi Tongwei had indeed not offended him. It seemed that he had indeed been targeting him all along. However, that was just the way he was. He could say things about others, but others could not say things about him.

"Of course he didn't offend me, but I just can't stand his smug look! Look at him, a secretary showing off to him, even holding out a pack of tattered cigarettes. Teacher Gao is the same, acting like he's never seen cigarettes before!"

"Heh! Hou Liangping, do you know what kind of cigarette that is? It's a special supply cigarette. Only a small number of people in the country can smoke it. I've only seen it at my grandfather's house. My father hasn't smoked it many times. Qi Tongwei can easily take out a box. You say it's a crappy cigarette?" Zhong Xiaoai sneered.

"Ah? Impossible! If these cigarettes are so valuable, how could Qi Tongwei just take out a box?"

"Why? Because he is Secretary Yuan's secretary! His father-in-law is..." Zhong Xiaoai was so excited that she almost said Yuan Mu's father-in-law. Fortunately, she stopped in time. She couldn't say this to Hou Liangping casually.

"What father-in-law? Who is Secretary Yuan's secretary?" Hou Liangping keenly captured the important information.

"Nothing. This is something you shouldn't know about, Hou Liangping. I don't want to tell you too much either. Even though Qi Tongwei is your senior, just because he's Secretary Yuan's secretary, you should be courteous to him. Whether you admit it or not, he's just ahead of you."

"Sometimes luck is part of strength. Why did Secretary Yuan insist on appointing him as secretary? Qi Tongwei must have his own strengths."

"Maybe it was really a mistake to be with you in the first place, Hou Liangping. Let's break up. We are really not suitable for each other." After saying that, Zhong Xiaoai turned around and left.

Hou Liangping was panicking. He could give up anything except Zhong Xiaoai. What would he do if she ran away? Without Zhong Xiaoai's background, how could he continue to dominate the officialdom?

"Xiao Ai! Xiao Ai! What else? I was wrong. It was indeed my fault today. How about this, I will ask Qi Tongwei to come out another day and apologize to him in person. What do you think?" Hou Liangping hurriedly stopped Zhong Xiaoai and said anxiously.

"Hou Liangping, you still haven't realized your mistake. Can this matter be solved with an apology? Also, it's your freedom to apologize or not. You don't have to tell me. We will have nothing to do with each other in the future." Zhong Xiaoai said with a cold face, pushing Hou Liangping away.

In fact, Zhong Xiaoai doesn't care about Qi Tongwei at all. She doesn't care what he is like. She wouldn't care even if he worked as a secretary for any of the provincial standing committee members. But she especially cares about him being a secretary for Yuan Mu.

Others don’t know who Yuan Mu is, but Zhong Xiaoai knows him very well. Born in such a family, she has naturally seen a lot.

Her family is already very powerful, but it is still inferior to Yuan Mu's, not to mention Yuan Mu's current achievements. Her father is about the same age as Yuan Mu, but now he is only a bureau-level cadre.

And it is very likely that this department-level cadre will have to work for several more years before he can continue to move up, but what about Yuan Mu now?

He is already a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of the provincial capital city. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be promoted to full-time Deputy Secretary in the next step. This is not scary. The scariest thing is Yuan Mu’s age. He is only forty years old!

There are deputy provincial and ministerial officials who are forty years old, but most of them hold empty positions in ministries and commissions. Yuan Mu is a real and effective leading cadre with extremely high value!

If he continues to develop at this rate, he will definitely reach the ministerial level before he turns fifty. How many ministerial-level cadres are there in the country? Only about three hundred.

You have to know that the national population is over one billion, and there are only 300 ministerial-level cadres, which means that there is only one such person for every 500,000 people. You can imagine how low the probability is.

Moreover, her father and Yuan Mu were classmates at the Party School and had a good relationship. She even had to call Yuan Mu uncle. If her father knew that Hou Liangping was such a person, it goes without saying that he would definitely break up the two of them.

Rather than letting her father break up the two of them, it would be better for her to break up now. She was really captivated by Hou Liangping's sweet words at that time. Now it seems that she was blinded by lust and regretted it. But fortunately, it is not too late to stop the loss now.

She and Hou Liangping have been in love for so many years, and what should have happened has already happened, but they are both adults and are very open-minded about such things. She doesn't feel that she has suffered any loss, and she just enjoys it.

Although Zhong Xiaoai wanted to give up, Hou Liangping had never thought about giving up. He would not break up with Zhong Xiaoai so easily.

So, Hou Liangping came up directly and started bombarding Zhong Xiaoai with all kinds of sweet words as if they were free.

At first, Zhong Xiaoai was very annoyed, and she was also very angry about what Hou Liangping had just done. She didn't want to pay any attention to him, but gradually, Hou Liangping's words took effect.

Zhong Xiaoai is the type who responds to soft words but not to hard ones, and she really fell for Hou Liangping's tricks. Coupled with Hou Liangping's good looks, Zhong Xiaoai's anger was basically gone before she even walked a kilometer.

In addition, Hou Liangping repeatedly assured her that it would not happen again in the future, so Zhong Xiaoai gradually gave up the idea of breaking up.

It has to be said that Hou Liangping does have some experience in coaxing women, especially women like Zhong Xiaoai.

"I'm telling you, this is just the first time. If it happens again, we must break up!" Zhong Xiaoai pointed at Hou Liangping and threatened.

"Don't worry, Xiao Ai, I promise there won't be a next time!" Hou Liangping covered his heart with one hand and stretched out three fingers with the other hand and swore.

In fact, Hou Liangping had already cursed in his heart, who would have chosen you if they didn't value your background? To be honest, Zhong Xiaoai's appearance is indeed average, but her temperament is outstanding.

If Hou Liangping wanted, he could change his girlfriend every week. Handsome looks, tall figures, and humorous conversation are all plus points.

But there is a saying that goes, if you want to gain something, you must lose something. This saying just reflects Hou Liangping's current situation.

If you want a smooth career in the future, you must cling to Zhong Xiaoai.

"Okay, then I'll forgive you this time." Zhong Xiaoai said with a smile.
