I have to tell you now.
Li Qingqing sighed softly, lowered her voice, and explained her family's plan: the money was to support Li Xiuyuan's advancement; they should treat him to meals and give him gifts as needed.
Hearing his sister's explanation, Li Xiuyuan's expression became somewhat strange. So it was Zhang Yucai's idea. To be honest, Zhang Yucai is quite a talent.
Well, Zhang Yucai's idea is good. Climbing the ladder does require money. If he doesn't climb the ladder and just stays as an ordinary clerk, his salary and bonuses in the county are actually quite good, along with benefits. Plus, knowing some people in various departments makes it easier to get things done.
But if you want to climb the ladder, you'll definitely need to spend money on meals and social engagements, and your salary alone won't be enough. So where will the money come from?
They can only rely on other forms of illicit income.
Zhang Yucai's idea seems quite good. His sister and brother-in-law would support him financially, and he, having climbed up the ladder, could also take care of his sister and brother-in-law.
The idea is good, but the problem is, my sister is my family, and my brother-in-law Zhang Zhihao is too, right? And Zhang Yucai is too? Some of the money in this is from them; they invested it, and if they give me 20,000 yuan today, they expect a return in the future.
Even if what they really think now is that they just need to take care of things when something happens, who can guarantee that this idea won't change in the future? As their position gets higher or they spend more money, their ambitions will naturally grow bigger.
There might even be a feeling that I contributed to your success, and you have to give me something in return.
I want more.
Let alone my brother-in-law Zhang Zhihao and his father Zhang Yucai, even my two nephews will think the same way in the future: "Our uncle's success today is thanks to our family, so it's only right that you help him."
Even her older sister, Li Qingqing, will have this thought in the future; it's human nature.
If he really needed money, Li Xiuyuan felt that it would be better to accept 20,000 yuan from outside businessmen than to accept 20,000 yuan from his sister. Because accepting money from outsiders was a transaction, and they believed in equivalent exchange. As long as it was a matter of getting things done, few businessmen would dare to report their superiors.
But it's different with blood relatives. They don't accept money. Many people feel that you should do things for them, and if you accept money, they'll think even worse.
Moreover, 20,000 yuan is not a small amount for my sister's family; if they invest it, they'll demand an even higher return.
Therefore, from any perspective, Li Xiuyuan would not accept the money his sister sent. Accepting it would be like falling into a trap. It's not that he and his sister have a bad relationship, but that he cannot use human nature to test their relationship.
“Xiuyuan, I think this is a good thing. Just pretend you don’t know anything. Anyway, as a daughter, I’m giving money to my parents to be filial to them. No one can say anything about it. In the future, no matter who asks me, your brother-in-law and I will not tell the truth. We will insist that this money has nothing to do with you and that it is our way of being filial to our parents.” Li Qingqing said to Li Xiuyuan seriously.
Li Xiuyuan smiled bitterly to himself. "You won't tell anyone who asks. What I'm afraid of is that in the future, when no one asks, you'll all have to tell me."
However, Li Xiuyuan certainly couldn't say this to his sister so bluntly, as it would be too hurtful. He had to consider it carefully and explain it to her in a tactful way.
