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

"Honey, this person is so young!"

In one home, a woman was lounging on the sofa after dinner, scrolling through her phone. She happened to come across a post from an education-related WeChat account she followed. Looking at the pictures on her phone, she exclaimed in surprise…

I'll search his biography.

"So young, yet already a high-ranking official, much more capable than you."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man next to him, dressed in a black and white striped casual shirt and wearing glasses, became displeased. He put down his book, looked up, and said, "Who is it? No matter what, I'm the head of a department, thirty-five years old. Among your girlfriends' husbands, who can compare to me?"

"Let me tell you, don't believe everything those unscrupulous public accounts make up. Some of them don't even understand job titles..."

After muttering a few words, he picked up the book and continued reading.

However, the woman glanced at the book in his hand, then at the entries on his phone that listed things like "authored 'The Rise of Great Powers' and '1566' during his university years," and was immediately stunned.

"Honey, the book you're reading seems...it seems like it was written by him."

"What did you say?"

The middle-aged man paused, flipped the book over to look at the name, then sat up, straddled his wife, picked up the phone, and gasped in shock.

"hiss"

He is the director of a department in the Tianhe Municipal Government. He usually reads and studies according to the preferences of his superiors, which is why he was promoted at a young age.

As early as the beginning of the year, Party Secretary Xu Nuojun and Mayor Jiang Xueyu took the lead in reading books, and the lower levels followed suit.

When the new secretary was appointed, they naturally understood the purpose of reading the books, and during this period they read them so many times that the leather bindings wore out.

Private basketball and table tennis activities were transformed into reading seminars, specifically to discuss these books.

They call it learning knowledge and enriching one's inner self, but who doesn't know the real reason?

Which WeChat official account did you read it from?

Upon learning that it was Chu Shijun, the provincial party secretary, the middle-aged man was only slightly surprised and didn't pay much attention, since these kinds of posts were frequently published on public accounts.

"I saw it on the educational WeChat account that my son's school asked us to follow."

The woman flipped the scroll back over, then scrolled down a bit more, and suddenly her eyes widened in surprise. "Our son's really something! He's made Secretary Chu a model student!" she exclaimed.

As soon as she finished speaking, a dark shadow flashed before her eyes, and her phone disappeared from her hand.

The middle-aged man snatched the phone, stared at it with wide eyes, his face full of surprise. He then zoomed in on the picture, examining it closely. The high-definition image made his heart pound.

In the picture, his son stands opposite Chu Shijun, tying a red scarf around his neck. The next picture shows the two saluting each other.

He knows all too well the value of this picture.

"Good son, good son, a prodigy!"

"And Lao Huang, the funding we approved for your school wasn't wasted, haha."

"Is it really necessary to get so worked up?" the woman asked, puzzled. She was a kindergarten teacher, and her husband usually wouldn't let her get involved in these complicated matters, so she didn't quite understand. It was just a picture.

"You know nothing!"

The middle-aged man glared at her and said, "Wife, let me tell you, a picture is just a picture to you, but it's a different story for us."

"Even if the person in the photo is Secretary Chu, or even Secretary Xu from our city, the effect would still be immediate if it got out."

"Listen to me, you're going to change the picture to your phone screen later. You have a best friend whose husband works in the Organization Department, right? When you're shopping or eating with her, subtly let her see it."

"Will this work?"

"Nonsense, your best friend's husband must have seen this picture. He doesn't know our son, but your best friend does. If I work hard, and your husband settles down for two years, and with my aunt's husband giving him a push, he'll be a deputy director-general level official by now." The middle-aged man was already fantasizing.

"Son, tomorrow's Children's Day, take him to that amusement park he wants to go to and let him play as much as he wants, eat whatever he wants, and play however he wants!"

"Ring ring ring"

As they were talking, the phone rang.

He picked it up, glanced at it, and immediately answered the call with a broad smile.

"Yes, okay, okay, it's all thanks to your teaching... Uncle, I understand, thank you..."

"What did I say? My uncle called to praise our son. When his propaganda department was reviewing the manuscript, his secretary submitted the content, and he happened to read it and even mentioned it to Minister Hu."

The middle-aged man, beaming, got up and walked towards the room.

"Tell my son not to work so hard on his studies, and I'll let him play a few rounds of that 'Honor of Kings' game today."

……

The next day.

Provincial Party Committee.

Li Dakang's car arrived downstairs, followed by another car.

After getting out of the car, Secretary Xiao Hu quickly opened the car door.

Subsequently, Li Dakang and Liu Yuchen got out of the two cars one after the other.

Meanwhile, a tall, robust middle-aged man with a square face and an honest appearance got out of Liu Yuchen's car from the left. He looked at the majestic provincial party committee building in front of him with a hint of nervousness on his face.

"Secretary Li, Secretary Liu,"

He quickly walked up to the two of them.

"Comrade Quan Tao, what are you panicking about?"

Li Dakang frowned as he looked at the other person's somewhat timid and hesitant expression. "I brought you here to familiarize yourself with the place. What kind of behavior is this?"

"Secretary Li, I reckon Comrade Quan Tao is a bit nervous, which is understandable. Not just him, I'm a little nervous too. We're not like you, a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee, who comes to meetings all the time, haha."

Liu Yuchen smiled and subtly defused the awkward situation by praising Li Dakang.

After all, this person was someone he brought with him, so he was considered a trusted confidant.

Li Dakang's expression softened, and he nodded, saying, "Don't be nervous, be more generous. As long as you do your job conscientiously and don't violate any rules or regulations, Secretary Chu is very easy to talk to."

"Okay, thank you, Secretary Li and Secretary Liu," the middle-aged man said quickly.

"How about having a cigarette to calm down?"

Liu Yuchen suggested.

"Alright,"

Upon hearing this, Li Dakang immediately felt an urge to grab a cigarette from his pocket.

Although he smokes every day but isn't addicted, it's okay to offer him a cigarette to cheer up his subordinates.

"Secretary Li, Secretary Liu,"

The three of them had just taken out their cigarettes and hadn't even moved when they heard someone shout.

"Director Ye, why did you come down?"

Seeing that Ye Wentao had already walked out the door, Li Dakang immediately put the cigarettes back in his bag, walked forward with a smile, and extended his hand.

"Hello, Director Ye."

Liu Yuchen also stepped forward to shake hands.

"It's just a short walk. Besides, you two have come all this way. If I don't come downstairs to greet you, you'll think I'm impolite when I get back, haha."

Ye Wentao joked with a smile.

"How could we possibly blame you, our head steward!"

Li Dakang shook his head. He had run into the other party's son at school a while ago. He called to ask, and heard that they were getting along well in private. It was hard to say whether they could take things further, but there was still hope.

Moreover, putting aside the possibility of them becoming in-laws, he also needs to maintain a good relationship with the other party.

"Comrade Wentao, let me introduce you. This is Comrade An Quantao, the Vice Mayor of Zhencheng City and Secretary of the High-tech Zone Party Committee."

Li Dakang turned to the side and introduced.
