Chapter 278 Chen Shan's Shock
"Sister, what's wrong with you?"
After the wedding, Chen Hai saw Chen Yang sitting to the side in a daze and went over to ask him what was wrong.
"It's nothing, I'm just too tired these past few days!"
Chen Yang said.
She sat there in a daze because of the message Lu Yuanzhou had relayed to her on behalf of Qi Tongwei.
Qi Tongwei said he had already let it go and asked her to let it go too, but she didn't really feel anything.
Four years have passed, and she has let it go.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have married someone else, even though her parents forced her into the marriage.
She believed that Qi Tongwei had let go of the past.
If Qi Tongwei couldn't let her go, he wouldn't have gone four years without contacting her or visiting her even once.
When she first graduated, she really couldn't let go of Qi Tongwei.
After so many years of dating, she can't let go of it in a short time.
But in the past four years, Qi Tongwei has stopped contacting her and looking for her, so she knew that Qi Tongwei would never come back.
She gradually forgot about Qi Tongwei.
However, she never expected that more than four years after their breakup, Qi Tongwei would still be thinking of her.
To be precise, it was for her father's sake.
Even she and Chen Hai didn't know that her father's biggest dream in life was to become a vice-minister, but Qi Tongwei knew.
"By the way, Chen Hai, have you ever heard your father tell you what his biggest dream in life is?"
Chen Yang asked.
Chen Hai has been with his parents these past few years, so he might have overheard something.
My older brother, Chen Shan, is in the army and doesn't come home even once a year.
She was angry with her father for not helping Qi Tongwei and rarely went home.
"No, if I had known, I would have told you!"
Chen Hai looked puzzled; why would his sister suddenly ask this?
"It seems I was overthinking it."
"By the way, Chen Hai, you'll be graduating next year. What are your plans?"
Seeing that Chen Hai didn't know either, Chen Yang quickly changed the subject.
"Get a job and make something of yourself!"
Chen Hai said.
He also wanted to be like Qi Tongwei, achieving one success after another, developing one place after another, and helping the people of one place after another live a better life.
As for a promotion, Chen Hai is not worried.
Reaching the level of a department director like his father might be difficult, but reaching the level of a division chief is quite easy.
According to his expectations, his career path would face obstacles before reaching the deputy director level.
"Chen Hai, you need a good platform to build your career."
Take Handong as an example. Although both are in Jingzhou, working in the provincial capital is different from working in Jingzhou city.
Working in the provincial capital, as long as you don't make mistakes and work step by step, becoming a deputy director is easy, and you also have a great chance of becoming a director.
If you work in the city, as long as you don't make mistakes and work step by step, it's easy to become a section chief, and you also have a good chance of becoming a deputy director.
If you work in a county or district, becoming a deputy section chief isn't difficult, but becoming a section chief is quite difficult, and becoming a deputy director is extremely difficult.
In rural towns, it's difficult enough to be a leader of a station or office, let alone a deputy section chief, let alone a section chief.
So next year you need to find a way to work at the provincial court or the provincial political and legal affairs commission.
Chen Yang works in Beijing and is well aware of how much a good platform can help a cadre's development.
In order for his younger brother to have a better future, Chen Yang hoped that Chen Hai would understand these things as early as possible.
Stop thinking that your career will be smooth sailing and you'll be steadily promoted just because your father is a veteran revolutionary.
By then, when Chen Hai reaches his father's level, he will already be quite old.
If you want to move up a rank, your advantage won't be as significant.
Of course, given their family's circumstances, Chen Hai would easily get promoted if he went to work at the grassroots level.
At least the deputy director level has no problems.
It's a bit difficult to be a proper virgin; her father needs to step in and help her from behind the scenes.
"Xiao Hai, Xiao Yang is right. Although our dad has some influence in Handong, he has also offended a lot of people."
Especially Zhao Lichun, our dad made him give a public apology, which made him lose a lot of face.
Now, Zhao Lichun has become the executive vice governor, and he may continue to advance in the future.
If he suppresses you, your future will be hindered.
Now that you've completed your postgraduate studies, you'll be eligible for a deputy section chief position after you start working.
While Dad is still in office, you should get promoted to section chief as soon as possible, and then to deputy director before Dad retires.
That way, your future path will be easier.
Chen Shan walked towards the two of them.
"elder brother!"
Chen Yang and Chen Hai quickly greeted each other.
My brother is usually in the military and rarely comes home.
I took leave to attend Chen Yang's wedding.
"By the way, Xiaohai, tell your classmate to be mindful of the impact and not go too far."
This is the capital city, not Handong.
If he offends someone, he might have to be a narcotics officer for life.
Chen Shan strongly disagreed with Hou Liangping's approach.
It's clear that Hou Liangping really likes Zhong Xiaoai.
However, you shouldn't be too eager and pester people regardless of the occasion, as that would give the impression of being a scoundrel.
Many of the people attending the wedding had very powerful backgrounds.
If he makes them unhappy, then Hou Liangping will have no chance of turning things around.
"Okay, I'll go and try to persuade him!"
Chen Hai knew his brother was referring to Hou Liangping.
It must be because Hou Liangping hadn't seen Zhong Xiaoai for so long that he got too excited and couldn't control himself.
"Xiaoyang, what did your classmate say to you?"
Chen Shan saw Lu Yuanzhou call his sister aside and whisper something to her.
Qi Tongwei asked Lu Yuanzhou to pass on a message for him!
He said Dad's biggest wish in life is to become a vice-minister, and he wants me to use my connections to help him realize his dream!
Chen Yang repeated what Lu Yuanzhou had told him.
"If it weren't for Zhao Lichun holding him back, with our dad's qualifications, he would have been promoted to vice-ministerial level long ago!"
Chen Shan sighed.
His father was too upright and couldn't stand people indulging in pleasure.
Zhao Lichun was relaxing in a hotel with the air conditioning on when the emperor made him give a self-criticism at a meeting, thus severely offending Zhao Lichun.
Later, his father was directly transferred from the position of Executive Vice Mayor of Jingzhou City to Chief Prosecutor of the Jingzhou City Procuratorate.
Then came the Deputy Chief Prosecutor and Executive Deputy Chief Prosecutor of the Handong Procuratorate.
Although Zhao Lichun would adjust his father's position every time he made a promotion, eventually raising his father to the rank of director-general.
But after a while, his father reached retirement age and was no longer promoted to the rank of director-general.
"Didn't Qi Tongwei break up with you a long time ago? Wasn't he suppressed by the Liang family and sent to the grassroots level?"
How could you possibly have the energy to worry about Dad's future?
Chen Shan asked in confusion.
In his memory, after Qi Tongwei graduated, Liang Lu used the Liang family's connections to send him to a township agricultural technology station.
At this time, Qi Tongwei should still be struggling in the township.
"Qi Tongwei and I broke up when we graduated, and he has never contacted me since then."
Despite the Liang family's relentless suppression, Qi Tongwei has become increasingly resilient and is now the Deputy Secretary and Executive Deputy County Head of Jinshan County, Lüzhou City.
Chen Yang explained Qi Tongwei's current position.
"How can it be?
The Liang family wields considerable power in Handong. How could Qi Tongwei, a mere country boy, possibly rise through the ranks so quickly without being affected by their suppression?
Chen Shan was shocked.
With the Liang family as a powerful force, Qi Tongwei managed to climb to the position of deputy secretary of the county party committee and executive deputy county head in just four years.
Even if Chen Yang went down to the grassroots level, and Zhao Lichun didn't suppress him, it would have been impossible for him to become the third-in-command of a county in just four years.
Even with his father pushing him from behind, Chen Yang is at most an ordinary deputy county head now, and is about to be promoted to a member of the county party committee standing committee.
After all, the promotion of cadres must be done step by step, following basic rules.
