Civil Service Exam by Luck: From Being Abandoned by My Girlfriend to the Pinnacle of Power

“What if I ranked fifth in the written exam? I got in by sheer luck. From a staff member in the government office to a leader’s secretary—on the day my ex-girlfriend begged me to get back together,...

Chapter 623 We're all family, so let's not speak like outsiders (1/2)

"Xiuyuan, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, we really wouldn't know what to do."

Zhang Yucai lit a cigarette for Li Xiuyuan and added some tea to his cup. They understood what Li Xiuyuan had said, and they felt completely at ease.

At the same time, he felt a surge of relief. If it weren't for Li Xiuyuan, his family would have faced a different fate this time, and he valued Li Xiuyuan even more.

Zhang Zhihao and Li Qingqing, a married couple, sat to one side, still processing Li Xiuyuan's words. They were no longer children and knew that dealing with certain matters could be completely different depending on whether one had connections or not.

Just like when the children were in school before, Li Xiuyuan could send them in with just one phone call. They could invite people out to eat and drink everywhere, but there was nothing they could do.

But these things are all positive, meaning that whether they are accomplished or not will not have a significant impact on me, so the feeling is not deep. For example, regarding my child's schooling, if it can't be accomplished, he can still attend school in the town.

But tonight's situation is different. If it weren't for Li Xiuyuan, they might be facing fines or even jail time.

The impact is completely different, and their feelings are naturally different as well. However, most people may only encounter such a thing a few times in their lifetime.

If you don't have such connections in your family, you can only accept your bad luck.

"Xiuyuan, if there's anything that requires money, just say so. Don't be shy," Zhang Yucai said to Li Xiuyuan.

Li Xiuyuan smiled and shook his head: "It's alright, Uncle. I'll find out what's going on tomorrow morning. If anything happens, I'll let you know. Don't worry, it should be resolved in a few days."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yucai nodded repeatedly and was about to express his gratitude when Li Xiuyuan waved his hand and said, "Alright, Uncle, that's settled then. Sister, brother-in-law, it's getting late, so I'll head back now. You should get some rest too."

"Okay, I'll see you off." Li Qingqing stood up, and Zhang Zhihao and Zhang Yucai also stood up and came out.

Upon arriving at the courtyard gate, Li Xiuyuan told the group to stay and not to see them off any further.

"Xiuyuan, I'm leaving this matter to you. Thank you, brother-in-law."

"Brother, thank you too," Zhang Zhihao and Li Qingqing said.

Li Xiuyuan waved his hand: "Sister, brother-in-law, we're family, no need for formalities. Alright, that's enough, don't see me off, I'm going back."

Li Xiuyuan's figure slowly disappeared into the darkness, and Zhang Yucai's family finally returned home.

Li Xiuyuan didn't stay long, only about half an hour, but the atmosphere in the house was completely different. Zhang Yucai lit a cigarette and comfortably half-reclined on the sofa.

Although he said he was calm before, and that he would go to jail himself if it meant going, who would want to go to jail at his age if they could avoid it?
