But that's far from enough. If I had a vision of someone at the level of a full section chief, that would be fine. But just one person like Yun Yanchang would be enough.
But if he wanted to climb higher, one Yun Yanchang wouldn't be enough. That's why he wanted to find a woman whose family was well-off and could support his political advancement.
According to the previous plan, finding a family with a division-level cadre, plus Yun Yanchang, his old leader, would definitely be enough to support him to become a deputy division-level cadre.
The remaining positions at the division chief level depend on luck, but that's about it.
But this is the best possible outcome for me. At the deputy division level, I'd be a deputy county head, and at the division level, I'd be a party secretary or county head.
This isn't the ceiling for ordinary people, but rather the ceiling for many people with connections and backgrounds.
But now, it seems another opportunity has presented itself to him: the daughter of a department-level official.
Li Xiuyuan's breathing became rapid. If he had the support of a department-level cadre, his future path would not only be deputy division chief, but could even be division chief or deputy department-level.
Especially considering how young Su Qihong is, there's a possibility he might even advance further... and Su Ziying is so beautiful.
As he thought about it, Li Xiuyuan's heart grew increasingly hot, but soon he got up and opened the window in front of his desk, letting the cold wind from outside blow in and gradually calming his feverish mind.
If one could be with the daughter of the Executive Deputy Minister of the Provincial Party Committee's Organization Department, a cadre at the ministerial level, there would certainly be opportunities, but there would also be risks.
Many people only see stories of people marrying the daughters of high-ranking officials and wealthy men and reaching the pinnacle of life. Indeed, there are such examples, but this is not the absolute rule. There are also some who, because they married the daughters of high-ranking officials and wealthy men, were suppressed and never made it to the top in their lives.
In his previous life, Li Xiuyuan had heard of a similar story: a talented junior clerk working at the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce married the daughter of a vice mayor. However, as the years passed and he was promoted, things always went wrong, and by the time he retired, he was only a section-level cadre.
It turned out that his father-in-law, who was the deputy mayor, was the one suppressing him, fearing that if he rose to power, he would abandon his daughter.
Of course, there are also those who neither suppress nor support. After all, political resources are limited, and they would rather support outsiders than their sons-in-law. If they support outsiders and they rise to power without remembering past favors, it will damage their reputation.
However, whether or not one should remember past relationships when supporting a son-in-law becomes a family matter, and outsiders shouldn't comment too much.
Then there are those who marry the daughters of wealthy men. They give you money to spend, but they don't actually give you any. This applies to both men and women. A significant number of women who marry rich men find that these men are smarter than them. Their money is for you to see, not for you to spend.
Therefore, the path of changing one's fate through marriage is not so easy. It may seem bright, but it is fraught with hidden risks.
Even if I could win over Su Ziying and she was willing to be with me, what would Su Qihong's attitude be towards me? Would he let me do as I pleased? Or would he support me?
Or perhaps they are secretly suppressing me, fearing that I might use their political resources to rise to power and then turn my back on them.
Or they could simply transfer themselves to the provincial level, find a department to settle them in, and then leave them to their own devices...
It's hard to say what the outcome will be.
Li Xiuyuan lit a cigarette. The window was open, and the April evening breeze blew in. Li Xiuyuan's mind was clear as he weighed the various gains and losses.
