Chapter 191 Only You Can Persuade Him

The jeep drove into the Zhou family courtyard, and Wen Zhile received the letter as soon as he got off the car.

Ji Diyin handed her the envelope and looked at Shu Ying with a smile.

The last camping trip in the park made them quickly familiar with each other. They all knew what their children meant, so Shu Ying understood Ji Diyin's teasing with just one look.

She looked at her daughter who wanted to read the envelope but was too embarrassed to open it in front of them, and she couldn't help laughing.

"Come in and have some tea first."

Ji Diyin started walking, Shu Ying followed, and Wen Zhile then opened the letter.

After watching the show, the two were about to go out.

Ji Diyin pointed to the study with a smile: "Your mother and I are going out first. Your uncle Zhou is working in the study. If you want to send a letter to Ji Huai, go in and find him."

Zhou Zhanqi was waiting for Wen Zhile to come.

She covered the paper on the desk as she knocked on the door and got up to open the door.

The Zhou family’s new nanny was a middle-aged woman who brought in two cups of tea after a while.

"Zhi Le, sit down."

Zhou Zhanqi obviously has something to say.

Wen Zhile sat down at the desk: "Uncle Zhou, what do you want to say?"

Zhou Zhanqi smiled and took a sip of tea.

He was not in a hurry to talk about business, but instead chatted idly for about eight or nine minutes before slowly turning to the main topic: "Ji Huai completed the mission very well and can return a month earlier. He told you in the letter, right?"

Wen Zhile smiled: "Brother Zhou said in the letter that he will be back in early April."

Zhou Zhanqi also smiled and said, "This is the normal situation."

Wen Zhile heard that he was going to say "but" later, and suddenly felt a little uneasy. Was there any change in Zhou Jihuai's return to Beijing?

Zhou Zhanqi did not delay: "The organization's intention is to let him stay for half a year. After another half a year, Ji Huai may have to go to the northwest to take up his post."

"Going to the northwest?" Wen Zhile was surprised and puzzled.

Why did Uncle Zhou tell her this? Zhou Jihuai might not even know about these arrangements. If he knew, he would not have said that in the letter.

"You also saw Ji Huai get injured last year."

"Although I have made contributions, I have narrowly escaped death."

The study door was closed tightly and Zhou Zhanqi put down the cup of water.

"Ji Huai has been through life and death over the years, and has been on the brink of death several times. He used to put his own life behind the country. Although your aunt Ji and I are worried, we also support him."

They only had this one biological son, and the army would never allow an only child to risk his life. They backed off because of their son's passion for defending his country.

"It's different now." Zhou Zhanqi smiled lightly, "Ji Huai didn't want to get married before, so your aunt Ji and I didn't interfere with his decision. Now... you know, he has a girl he likes. Since he wants to get married in the future, he must be responsible for his lover and his family and try to avoid dangerous missions."

The atmosphere and topics in the study were somewhat serious, and Wen Zhile didn't even care about being shy.

"Uncle Zhou, what do you mean?"

Zhou Zhanqi said frankly: "I talked with Ji Huai's elders for a long time and decided to let him change his career."

"There is a vacancy in a county committee in the northwest. Ji Huai will probably stay for two or three days when he returns to Beijing next time. Once he goes to the northwest, he will have to stay there permanently."

Wen Zhile suddenly remembered his cousin's idle chat: the eldest son of the Jing family used to hold an important position in a county committee, and in less than a year he was transferred back to Jingzhou to serve as the mayor's secretary.

He is only 24 this year. His future path is estimated to be to train in Jingzhou for a few years and then go to other places to do big things, and then come back with political achievements to be promoted step by step.

If the Zhou family wants their young people to go into politics, their arrangement will probably be similar to that of the Jing family.

The Zhou family knows their young man very well. Zhou Jihuai is of good family background and is highly capable. He is bold but meticulous in his approach to things. If he is lucky, and they give him a push from behind, he will surely have a high position of power and a bright future.

"Don't worry too much," Zhou Zhanqi said, smiling and starting to "rescue" him. "Ji Huai will definitely be transferred back in two years. By then you will be an adult, so you two won't be separated for too long."

"..."Okay, she knew that Zhou Jihuai wanted to confess his feelings to her after she became an adult.

Uncle Zhou didn't tell him the purpose of his conversation today. Wen Zhile couldn't respond rashly, so he took a sip of water.

Zhou Zhanqi didn't let her wait, and continued: "What I told you are all the ideas of Ji Huai and I, the elders. To really implement it, we need Ji Huai's cooperation. He has admired soldiers since he was a child, and it is not easy to get him into politics. Your aunt Ji and I both think that he will listen to you."

"Do you want me to persuade Brother Zhou to change his career?"

Zhou Zhanqi said, "I think you are the only one who can persuade him about this matter."
