Year: I planted trees in Saihanba

Tang Qi has successfully left; next up is Feng Cheng going to the dam.

………………I am a dividing line………………

"Young man, are you threatening me?"

After a long silence, Madam Lin finally spoke.

You can understand it that way too!

Summer remained completely calm and spoke in a composed manner.

This terrified Yu Zheng, who was standing nearby, but he didn't say anything.

After all, Xia Tian had already discussed it with him before coming.

He took the lead in these negotiations.

Yu Zhenglai originally disagreed with this matter, but unexpectedly, Minister Qin asked Xia Tianlai to take charge.

What could Yu Zhenglai say but nod in agreement?

As for Vice Minister Qin, he had his secretary bring the two of them to the Lin family's residence.

He himself didn't even show up.

"Young man, I don't know who gave you the courage to say such things to me."

"But that's enough for now, you can leave!"

"I won't pursue the matter of you coming to my house."

Mrs. Lin believed she had taken a step back.

Upon hearing this, Xia Tian simply smiled and stood up.

"Uncle Yu, let's go!"

He gestured to Yu Zheng, who was standing nearby, to get up and leave.

"Some people don't want to be dignified, it seems we have no choice but to help them be dignified."

As Xia Tian finished speaking, she turned and left without looking back.

"stop."

Before Xia Tian could even begin the countdown in her mind, Madam Lin called out.

"Does Madam Lin have any further guidance?"

Xia Tian turned around and looked at Madam Lin with a half-smile.

"Tang Qi must leave; that's my bottom line."

Madam Lin spoke.

"We've come here to take Tang Qi back, and we promise we won't let her appear in front of you again."

"No, you misunderstood. What I mean is that Tang Qi cannot stay on the mainland."

Hearing Madam Lin's words, Lin Yuan, who was standing to the side, wanted to say something.

In the end, he could only let out a long sigh.

"Sorry, we cannot agree to that!"

"Tang Qi is now a staff member of the Weichang County Forestry Bureau."

"Her organizational affiliation is still with our forestry bureau."

"Mrs. Lin, you know we will not agree to release them."

"What our bureau is lacking right now is highly educated intellectuals."

Xia Tian looked at Madam Lin and also put forward his own conditions.

"Tang Qi must be sent away."

"As you probably know, Tang Qi has a foster aunt in Hong Kong."

"She wrote a letter inviting Tang Qi to develop his career in Hong Kong."

Madam Lin stared intently at Xia Tian, ​​as if trying to see through the young man.

"Madam Lin, you actually think about sending the intellectuals trained by your own country abroad?"

"Okay, I understand. I will report this to my supervisor truthfully."

Summer spoke calmly, then turned and left without saying another word.

"Stop right there! You stop right there!"

Mrs. Lin began to fly into a rage of impotence.

Xia Tian seemed not to hear Madam Lin's dog barking, and pulled Yu Zheng away from the Lin family.

Mrs. Lin watched Xia Tian's retreating figure, cold sweat soaking through the back of her clothes.

If the higher-ups find out what she just said, she'll be considered the eldest daughter of the Ye family.

Even the Ye family couldn't protect her.

That young man was too quick-witted; I was no match for him at all.

Besides, he wasn't in the right in this matter.

"Yes, Tang Qi, and Tang Qi too!"

……

"Xia, are you sure it's okay?"

"Don't worry, Uncle Yu, Tang Qi will definitely be fine."

"Sigh, who told Tang Qi to have such an unreliable father?"

"She's not even as good as her adoptive parents, or even her adoptive aunt."

As Xia Tian walked towards the guesthouse, she vehemently cursed Lin Yuan.

……

Ministry of Forestry.

"Minister Qin, what does this mean?"

Xia Tian looked at Qin Qiufeng with a puzzled expression.

"Xia, the order from above is for you to go back."

"Tang Qi's organizational affiliation is with our Ministry of Forestry."

Qin Qiufeng said somewhat embarrassedly.

He didn't want to give in, but the Ye family offered him just too much.

Summer was somewhat taken aback.

"So you've already compromised?"

Although he didn't know what the Lin family had sacrificed to make Qin Qiufeng compromise so easily.

But he knew that politics was about compromise, the result of exchanges of interests among all parties.

Unless one possesses extraordinary abilities, the outcome is essentially sealed.

"Where is Comrade Tang Qi?"

"Tang Qi is currently at the Ministry of Forestry!"

"What about later?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, I will be working at the Ministry of Forestry from now on."

Summer nodded with a strange expression.

"What about Comrade Feng Cheng?"

"As far as I know, Comrade Feng Cheng is dating Comrade Tang Qi."

Qin Qiufeng was also taken aback when he heard this.

He was unaware of this situation.

As a high-ranking minister, he has far too many things to do every day.

How could I possibly care about such trivial matters?

"Wait a moment, I'll go make a phone call."

As he spoke, Qin Qiufeng walked out of the office.

What Xia Tian didn't know was that Tang Qi had already been put on a train to Hong Kong.

The claim that Tang Qi was in the Ministry of Forestry is just a pretext.

Even if Xia Tian found out, she wouldn't say much.

After all, judging from Qin Qiufeng's words, this matter can be considered settled.

Moreover, Tang Qi was not subjected to any further persecution, which is already a blessing in disguise.

……

"Minister Qin, why did you lie to me?"

A day later, Xia Tian found Qin Qiufeng.

Xia, what are you saying?

Qin Qiufeng continued to play dumb.

"Alright, Minister Qin, stop acting. Tang Qi isn't even in the Ministry of Forestry."

"I don't care where Tang Qi went, or even whether she's alive or dead."

"What I want to know is, what does the higher-ups plan to give us to silence the gossip?"

In the summer, they simply stopped pretending and laid their cards on the table.

"Xiao Xia, you..."

Qin Qiufeng was momentarily at a loss for words when it came to summer.

This little monkey must be bookish; he changes his tune in an instant.

"Minister Qin, to be honest, if it weren't for the need to maintain internal unity..."

"Director Yu and I would never come to Beiping."

"But no matter what, Tang Qi is one of our people."

"We can't let others mold us into whatever shape we want."

"If word gets out, how will our forestry bureau maintain its reputation within the system?"

"We are here today to make a statement."

"If you want to bully our people, you'd better see if we agree."

"As for what they used in exchange, I have no interest in knowing."

"All I know is that we can't have come all this way for nothing, right?"

"Since Tang Qi can't be taken back, we should at least take something else back with us!"

Xia Tian spoke with a smile, but her eyes were fixed on Qin Qiufeng's face.

Qin Qiufeng was deeply shocked by Xia Tian's words.

No wonder he's someone who can reach the ears of the heavens; those are the words he speaks.

You'd think you were sitting in front of a seasoned official.

"Xia, Xia, I like you more and more."

Qin Qiufeng looked at Xia Tian and said this out of the blue.

However, Xia Tian understood the meaning behind Qin Qiufeng's words.
