Wang Shouren lived a relatively comfortable life.
Xu Jiaguo's life can be described as extremely difficult.
He owns more than one property, and over the years, he has accumulated a considerable amount of illicit income.
He rented a house outside and kept a mistress.
According to him, the Xu family line must not end, and this woman was also worthy of his praise, giving him a son.
When he dragged his tired body home, the house was quiet.
He opened the door and found the woman was already asleep. He then opened his son's door, and found the same thing.
He suppressed his hunger and went to the kitchen to steam some food for himself. Perhaps hearing the noise in the living room, Qian Qingying got up, wearing a close-fitting nightgown, and hugged Xu Jiaguo, who was busy in the kitchen.
Xu Jiaguo was slightly taken aback.
Feeling the softness behind him, normally he would have immediately taken action. But today, for some reason, he felt absolutely no desire.
Behind him came Qian Qingying's soft voice: "Jiaguo, you're back."
Seeing that Xu Jiaguo ignored him and continued cooking.
Qian Qingying's eyes darted around: "Jiaguo, what's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
"Hmm..." Xu Jiaguo hummed in response, feeling somewhat dejected.
"Who made you unhappy? You should teach them a good lesson..."
Qian Qingying's praises seemed to be pouring into Xu Jiaguo's ears like they were free, and before long, Xu Jiaguo became smug again.
Yes, what right do I have to get angry for those damned workers?
As long as I handle this matter properly, no one will be able to stop me from now on!
Thinking of this, he became excited again.
The effort I put into cooking also increased.
"Brother Jiaguo~ I want some too~"
"Okay!"
A hint of disdain flashed in Qian Qingying's eyes. This man, just like her mother said, would obediently do chores for her as long as she gave him a little something. He came back without even a hot meal and still looked excited; she wondered what he was thinking.
"Yingying".
"Hmm? What's wrong, Brother Jiaguo?"
"Let's get married and register our marriage after a while."
"Huh? Brother Jiaguo, why are you suddenly bringing this up?" Qian Qingying asked in a panic.
"What, you don't want to?" Xu Jiaguo stopped packing his things.
"No, no, I did think about it, but I can't break up your family. Besides, my sister has been with you for so many years, it wouldn't sound good if word got out. It would affect you, wouldn't it?"
Upon hearing Qian Qingying's words, Xu Jiaguo paused for a moment and said, "It's okay, I've already divorced her, she was the one who initiated it."
"This...isn't that a bad idea?"
"What? You're not willing?" Xu Jiaguo's voice grew even colder.
"Yes, of course I'm willing, it's for my sister..."
"What sister? That bitch, don't mention her in front of me!"
It was rare for Xu Jiaguo to lose his temper in front of Qian Qingying.
"Then...when are we going, Brother Jiaguo? I've been looking forward to this day for so long." Qian Qingying pressed her face tightly against Xu Jiaguo's back, afraid that Xu Jiaguo would suddenly turn around and see the livid look on her face.
She had already planned that as long as Xu Jiaguo was in power, she would leech off him.
Her skill level is beyond what ordinary people can compare to.
She implied, intentionally or unintentionally, that Xu Jiaguo could bring his family over for dinner, and she would help take care of the guests.
After becoming a familiar face to her group of underlings, she began secretly accepting bribes behind Xu Jiaguo's back. Many people fawned over Xu Jiaguo for his position, but he was always careful about accepting bribes, fearing exposure. Qian Qingying, however, was different. She was much more open about accepting bribes; she had been involved with Xu Jiaguo since 1980.
In 1981, she gave birth to his child, and starting in 1982, she used the child as a front to receive a considerable amount of benefits. All of this was done discreetly. She had already planned that if, after a few years, the mentally challenged wife still didn't know of her existence, she would secretly inform on her. She was still young; she didn't want to continue following that old geezer, Xu Jiaguo.
Anyway, once she's outside, no one will know who she is. As long as they don't get a marriage certificate, this won't happen.
She believed Xu Jiaguo wouldn't dare to expose the matter. But she never expected that Xu Jiaguo would now want to marry her.
No! We have to run!
Qian Qingying had this thought in her mind: there's still time; she still needs to finish up this busy period.
"When are you going? Let me finish this busy period first."
"Brother Jiaguo, you're not kidding me, are you? Finished with this busy period? Do you ever finish? Every time I see you, you're always so tired." Qian Qingying spoke softly, without any accusatory tone, much better than Yunmeng.
Xu Jiaguo smiled and said, "You know I took over Dayun Motorcycle Factory. Once things are sorted out, I can relax. Then we can have a proper celebration."
Qian Qingying: ...
No, we have to run!
Dayun Motorcycle Factory, is that something anyone can take on?
Qian Qingying herself was no ordinary person. Ordinary people wouldn't have access to someone of Xu Jiaguo's caliber, nor would they have the means to understand the significance of the Dayun Motorcycle Factory among his subordinates. It wasn't that she knew everything about the internal workings, but rather that she knew Xu Jiaguo perfectly well—a prime example of a petty person who had achieved success. Putting aside everything else, she had a very clear understanding of her own position.
"Brother Jiaguo, why did you go to the factory yourself? Isn't that something the staff below do?"
Xu Jiaguo paused for a moment and said, "Yingying, you don't understand. When we're in charge, if we want to promote someone, we first send them down to the lower levels. Only after they achieve results can they be promoted."
Qian Qingying: ...
Is that really true? I'm not well-educated, so don't try to fool me.
In fact, the so-called "delegation" has two main meanings. The first is that a certain place, which can be as specific as a city, county, or township, has consistently failed to achieve results, or that the place has always been impoverished. Capable people are then selected from above to go down and see what's going on. This allows them to assess the person's abilities; generally, as Xu Jiaguo said, only those they believe in are sent down to handle matters.
The second meaning is that sitting in the office for too long can easily make you forget what's below. Stepping down allows you to see what's really going on. Don't assume that just because you're higher up, you can't see what the people below are like. It's a kind of implicit advice.
