Nominal: Who isn't a son-in-law?

Chapter 18 First Encounter with "Secretary Dakang"

Where is your mother?

"Mom went to see Aunt Wen next door," Liang Lu replied, taking the newspaper from Liang Qunfeng's hand, glancing at it, and smiling, "Dad, you're reading Chu Shijun's book too?"

"Yes, it's very well written. Secretary Li and Governor Tian are also reading it. This young man is quite good, and he's from the Department of Political Science and Law at Han University. We in the department have a very high opinion of him," Liang Qunfeng nodded and asked, "You also teach courses in the Department of Political Science and Law, have you had any contact with him?"

Liang Lu paused for a moment, then pursed her lips and said, "I am his law professor. Chu Shijun is very handsome, has excellent academic performance, and is currently the student council president."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Liang Qunfeng narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "What are you thinking?"

Liang Lu quickly shook her head and explained, "He and Pei Qianqian are boyfriend and girlfriend."

"That Pei Qianqian I told you about before?"

Liang Qunfeng's pupils contracted, and while he felt a pang of regret, another thought also arose in his mind.

"It seems that Chu Shijun is destined for greatness. He is naturally talented, and with the support of the Pei family, his future achievements will be remarkable. As his teacher, you need to maintain a good relationship with your students. Your father is getting old, and your brother is in the army, so it will be difficult for him to speak to you in the future."

Liang Lu nodded; she naturally understood this principle.

In her previous life, she also experienced a change in mindset because of that incident. Coupled with Qi Tongwei and Chen Yang, the impact was even deeper, causing her to lose her mind and do the things that followed.

These days, Qi Tongwei has been intentionally or unintentionally asking her questions. After several interactions, she has changed and slowly regained her former cheerful personality. She seems to have returned to her college days, and she has almost forgotten that painful memory.

After a moment of silence, Liang Qunfeng changed the subject: "Gao Yuliang from the Department of Political Science and Law, I remember you had a good relationship with his wife Wu Huifen. Do you know this person?"

"He has the demeanor of a scholar and the pride of a gentleman. As the deputy director and professor of the Department of Political Science and Law, he is very knowledgeable, but his way of doing things is a bit like yours." Liang Lu tilted her head, thinking about her usual feelings when she met Gao Yuliang at school, and said truthfully.

"I see."

Liang Qunfeng nodded, having made up his mind, and then changed the subject, worrying about his daughter's important matter.

"Lulu, it's been so long, shouldn't you be able to move on by now?"

Liang Lu knew what he was talking about, nodded silently, then smiled and said directly, "Dad, recently a guy named Qi Tongwei has been contacting me. He's Chu Shijun's classmate and one of Gao Yuliang's most promising students, as well as the vice president of the student council."

"Because of your family background?"

Liang Qunfeng frowned.

"He's from the countryside, but he has a good personality and good character. Oh, Dad, don't worry, I'll handle this properly." Liang Lu was too embarrassed to say that she had lost her mind first and implied something to others, so she could only make light of the situation.

Seeing that his daughter didn't want to say more, Liang Qunfeng smiled helplessly and could only shake his head, saying, "If you're sure, you can meet your mother first instead of me. Your mother may not be good at doing things, but she's good at judging people."

"Stop, stop, stop! My mom's good eye for people comes from the fact that she caught you, the deputy secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, early on. I've heard that a million times." Liang Lu covered her ears and ran out after saying that.

"Hehe, this girl."

"Close the door!"

"Bang"

As a father, Liang Qunfeng had hurt his daughter by spoiling her in the past. This time, he would personally intervene. If Qi Tongwei was really a good person, the Liang family would not care about his background, as long as their daughter was happy.

He's still in his position, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, he'll likely be promoted in a couple of years, enough to promote someone else and maximize his inheritance of political resources.

……

That afternoon, at the library of Handong University.

Chu Shijun and Pei Qianqian sat in their usual seats, both writing furiously.

One was writing in a notebook, while the other was copying it onto paper to be sent to the Da Xia Daily.

The sun, halfway down in the sky, streamed through the window, casting a warm, golden glow that fell upon the two of them.

Just then, a student walked into the study room, looked around, spotted the two of them, and quickly walked over quietly. He tapped the table and whispered, "Shijun, someone's looking for you outside. I guessed you were in the library."

Is someone looking for me?

Could it be from the Da Xia Daily?

After saying goodbye to Pei Qianqian, Chu Shijun got up and followed the newcomer.

"It's right there, Shijun, you go ahead, I won't go."

"Thank you!"

You're too kind.

Following the direction the man pointed, Chu Shijun looked up and saw a young man in his late twenties, wearing a white shirt and jeans, looking around the school.

"Hey, isn't this Secretary Dakang?"

Chu Shijun took a closer look and discovered that this was indeed a younger version of Li Dakang.

If he remembered correctly, the other person was probably going to become Zhao Lichun's secretary soon, probably within the next two years.

He was also curious about why the other person had come to see him, so he went over immediately.

"Hello, I am Chu Shijun. May I ask who you are?" Chu Shijun asked, feigning curiosity.

Upon hearing this, Li Dakang quickly looked Chu Shijun up and down, admiring his handsome appearance, and extended his hand: "Hello, Chu Shijun, I am Li Dakang, and I work in the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee Office."

"Director Li, hello, hello!"

Chu Shijun gripped his hand firmly. "I wonder what brings Director Li to the school to see me?"

"I dare not accept the title of Director. I am older, so please do not presume to call me Shijun. You can just call me Brother Li." Li Dakang was overjoyed to be addressed as Director Li, and a slight wrinkle appeared on his young face as he smiled.

"Alright, Brother Li," Chu Shijun nodded, "Shall we find a place to sit down and talk?"

"No need, I'll be leaving in a bit. I have some things to do in the office. I just happened to be in the area and came to see you. Let's talk as we walk."

"OK."

The two walked towards a less crowded area and chatted casually for a while before Li Dakang said, "Shijun, your writing on the rise of a great power is quite good. To be honest, I didn't have this kind of understanding when I was in college..."

Thanks to Zhao Lichun, Li Dakang could easily come up with nice things. Being noticed by Zhao Lichun meant that Chu Shijun's future development was bound to be good, and he was worth befriending.

"Haha, Brother Li, you flatter me. It was only with the help of my teachers and classmates that I read more books and came up with this humble work. I didn't expect it to have alarmed Secretary Zhao. I am quite apprehensive as a young man."

Chu Shijun said modestly that he was indeed apprehensive, not out of fear, but because Zhao Lichun had been brought up.

Zhao Lichun is a man of considerable political skill. Even if he doesn't want to get too close to the other party, he also doesn't want to offend them.

Anyone who has watched the TV series "In the Name of the People" and learned about the events between Yi Xuexi, Chen Yanshi, and Zhao Lichun would praise Secretary Zhao as a kind person who didn't kill the two of them with a single blow. But it is precisely this kind of "kind person" who is even more terrifying in officialdom.

For the sake of his political future, he was truly willing to sacrifice his pride and not personally intervene. He only suppressed the retirement benefits of one person and placed another in a department-level position, which was already merciful. In the end, the other person even entered the capital.

Therefore, upon hearing that Zhao Lichun was paying attention to him, Chu Shijun immediately became alert.
