Bai Xuefeng smoked countless cigarettes while sitting at home, filling the living room with smoke.
When his wife Yu Xiaoyun came home from get off work at night, she was choked by the smoke and started coughing as soon as she opened the door...
"Cough cough cough... Old Bai, why do you smoke so much at home? It's suffocating me..." Yu Xiaoyun said with a frown, covering her nose and looking at Bai Xuefeng, who was sitting on the sofa with a sad face.
Bai Xuefeng put out the half-smoked cigarette in his hand into the ashtray, sighed and said, "Hey, it's all because of Xiaojie. I'm worried about her!"
Hearing that Bai Xuefeng was worried about his daughter Bai Jie, Yu Xiaoyun's expression eased a little. Regardless of the choking smell of cigarettes, she sat down next to Bai Xuefeng and asked, "How is it, Lao Bai? Is there any improvement in our daughter's matter?... If it really doesn't work, you might as well go see Minister He again. Even if it costs a little more money, I don't want to see our daughter suffer in the county town."
When Bai Xuefeng heard He Shuping's name, he suddenly felt unhappy.
When Bai Jie was sent to teach in the countryside, Bai Xuefeng did call He Shuping for help, but He Shuping's attitude towards him was very cold and chilling!
I thought the two families had a good relationship. Bai Jie and He Tianming were still in love at the time. No matter what, He Shuping had reason to take care of Bai Jie's affairs, but he flatly rejected Bai Xuefeng's request, which made Bai Xuefeng very angry!
After all, Bai Xuefeng is a well-known figure in Pingyang City, but He Shuping obviously looks down on him... People need to have dignity and trees need to have bark. Being humiliated once is not enough. Do I have to bite the bullet and beg him again?
"Hmph, go find him? It's not like I, Bai Xuefeng, don't have my own connections. I don't believe that I can't get things done without He Shuping! If you want to go, go ahead. I will never go to him to say good things even if you kill me!" Bai Xuefeng said with resentment. He had figured it out. If He Shuping didn't contact him actively, he would draw a clear line between them in the future. In this world, who can't live without?
Seeing Bai Xuefeng angry, Yu Xiaoyun smiled and comforted him, "Old Bai, you are so old. Isn't that how it is in the officialdom? The higher the official, the more arrogant they are. Why do you have to argue with him? Besides, you have been working on Xiaojie's matter for so long, but there is no response at all. Even if it is for your daughter, you can bear the injustice for a while, okay?"
There's nothing wrong with being a little bit wronged for your daughter.
But it also depends on who you ask for help!
He Shuping is a heartless and disloyal person. Even if you beg him on your knees, he may not really do things for you.
Investing even a little bit of emotion in him is a fucking waste!
Bai Xuefeng sneered, looked at Yu Xiaoyun and said, "Xiaoyun, you still can't see through He Shuping? If he wanted to take care of Xiaojie's affairs, he would have taken action long ago. He didn't do it, which means he doesn't have the ability or doesn't want to do it... In this case, why should I beg him with a servile face? Besides, I have been begging people all my life, and it's not easy to get a leadership position. Now I have to beg people again. I feel that my life is too cowardly! Oh..."
Yu Xiaoyun sighed softly and understood Bai Xuefeng's difficulties.
I remember when they first got married, they lived in poverty relying on their meager salary. They had been making do with their hard times for more than a decade before their careers started to improve. They watched Bai Xuefeng rise from a clerk to a section chief, and then from a section chief to a deputy director. It can be said that every step up was filled with bitterness...
Having spent the first half of his life on his knees, Bai Xuefeng has finally stood up. He doesn't want to live a life where he is looked down upon by others anymore.
Yu Xiaoyun no longer forced him, but just shook her head helplessly.
Bai Xuefeng saw that Yu Xiaoyun looked a little disappointed, so he patted her shoulders twice and comforted her, "Seeing my daughter suffer outside, do you think I don't feel bad? She is my only child... Hey, I don't want Xiaojie to go through the hardships we went through... Don't worry, I have asked Director Peng to meet with Director Liang of the Education Bureau, and I think I will get a reply soon."
Yu Xiaoyun nodded, looking very well behaved. She seemed like a different person in front of Bai Xuefeng, without the arrogance she had in the hospital. Perhaps she wanted to let her subordinates have a taste of the hardships she had experienced at work, so that she would feel balanced.
In order to make Yu Xiaoyun confident, Bai Xuefeng teased, "You, don't think too highly of He Shuping. Although he is of a higher rank than me and has a stronger family background than us, he is just like that."
"What do you mean?" Yu Xiaoyun was puzzled. After all, He Shuping was the deputy minister of the Organization Department and held considerable power. How could he be worthless in the eyes of Bai Xuefeng?
Bai Xuefeng smiled and said, "Do you still remember the person Xiaojie first dated, Li Lin?"
Yu Xiaoyun nodded. "That little bastard didn't give me any face at the hospital last time. I haven't settled the score with him yet."
"I don't think I'll have the chance to settle accounts with him in this lifetime." Bai Xuefeng smiled and shook his head, then continued, "He is no longer the deputy head of the township. He is already a deputy county-level official!"
"Oh? He...how is this possible? Doesn't he have no money and no background? How could he be promoted so quickly?" Yu Xiaoyun was surprised and stunned.
"You forgot that he was Mayor Qian's former secretary. Now that Mayor Qian has returned, it's only a matter of time before he is given an important position. Alas... What a pity. If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have separated him and Xiao Jie..." Bai Xuefeng said regretfully.
Yu Xiaoyun was a little dazed, feeling like she had just heard a huge joke. No matter how hard she thought, she couldn't understand how a poor boy like Li Lin could become so successful one day? ... This world is too crazy.
"Then why do you say He Shuping is not capable? What is his relationship with Li Lin?" Yu Xiaoyun was puzzled. They were clearly talking about He Shuping, so why did it involve Li Lin?
