Ma Xile was smart enough not to kick open the door of the private room directly, but instead went into the next private room to eavesdrop.
The food stall owner was afraid that Ma Xile might do something self-harming in the private room, which would get him into serious trouble. To this day, he still thinks Ma Xile is a second-generation official.
As a result, Ma Xile didn't give him a chance to enter at all. As soon as he went in, he turned around and closed the door of the private room.
The food stall owner didn't dare let the waiters force their way in, so he could only watch anxiously outside the private room.
Inside the private room, Ma Xile was glad he hadn't impulsively kicked open the door; otherwise, he wouldn't have heard such private news that could be used to his advantage.
No wonder that ugly woman's boyfriend, who was so poor he could only afford a scooter, agreed to bring her here to eat crabs. No wonder he didn't drive his scooter; he knew his boss's secret.
Haha, people, many times, having opportunities isn't enough, you also need to have the luck to enjoy them.
Ma Xile quickly left the private room. He flung open the door, startling the food stall owner who was bent over and pressed his ear against the door, trying to hear what was happening inside.
Seeing Ma Xile's face change from anger to joy, he was completely bewildered. "Young Master Ma, are you alright?"
Ma Xile laughed heartily, patted the food stall owner on the shoulder, and said happily, "Of course I'm fine. Not only am I fine, but I'm perfectly healthy."
The deputy who was transferred to the capital as a high-ranking official many years ago... Driving for a long time, one will know more things than others, such as the deputy... This time, it seems that he is going back to B City for inspection, but in fact, he is going to pay respects to his only daughter who passed away more than 20 years ago.
He unintentionally learned from the deputy's only daughter how she died, a story that always brought him to tears whenever his daughter was mentioned.
She jumped from the hospital building and died a few days after giving birth. It wasn't that there was no rescue attempt; she died on the spot, and there was no way to save her.
He also knew that the deputy's son-in-law was an official in City B. Although his position was not high, it was stable. He wondered, for an official as high-ranking as the deputy, promoting someone would be as simple as saying a word.
Why, with so many opportunities, does she not promote her own son-in-law?
Someone told him the answer. It is said that the person who resolved his doubts also heard it from someone else.
The deputy... had only one woman in his generation, whom he cherished like a treasure since childhood. He was truly afraid of breaking her if he held her in the palm of his hand, and afraid of melting her if he kept her in his mouth. Yet, this well-off daughter of an official ended up marrying a lowly civil servant.
She even later suffered from postpartum depression, and after throwing her child off the building, she jumped off herself.
The deputy's only daughter died just like that, and her niece also died. Of course, she was very sad. But as sad as she was, she was a person who had been in the officialdom for many years. She quickly reached an agreement with her young son-in-law.
The agreement stipulated that she would guarantee her son-in-law a stable official career and a happy life, on the condition that he would never remarry.
.
The conditions offered by the deputy were quite tempting. After all, being an official has gradually become a high-risk and dangerous profession. As for not being able to remarry, that didn't matter at all.
For many married men, the most regrettable thing is that once they get married, they enter a "grave" (i.e., a death sentence), with someone controlling them and no freedom whatsoever.
Moreover, she only promised not to marry again, but did not guarantee that she would not have other women. Furthermore, even if the vice-minister demanded that her son-in-law remain chaste for his deceased daughter, and even if her son-in-law agreed, it was not certain that the vice-minister would keep sending people to follow him.
When it comes to that kind of thing, the duration varies, but if you don't talk about feelings and it's purely for the purpose of releasing physical needs, then it's quick.
Then Ma Xile thought of something else and asked the person who had also heard about the deputy's family affairs, "Since she has guaranteed her son-in-law a stable official career and a happy life, why doesn't her son-in-law go to a better place to serve as an official?"
The man stroked his chin and thought for a moment. “Actually, the person who told me those things didn’t mention this. In my personal opinion, this should also be one of the demands that the deputy… made of him. Think about it, the deputy… is from B City. Even if he is transferred to X City, he won’t take his daughter’s ashes with him. They will definitely be buried in B City. The deputy… loves his daughter so much, he certainly doesn’t want his daughter to be buried alone in B City. For the sake of her career, she can’t disobey the transfer, so she can only let her son-in-law stay in B City.”
Ma Xile thought this person made a lot of sense and nodded in agreement.
The deputy... indeed had very deep feelings for her only daughter who had passed away more than 20 years ago, and loved her very much. For all these years, he had been driving for the deputy... and no matter how busy she was, he even rushed back to City B to sweep her daughter's grave once when he was sick.
As for why he was able to become the driver for such a high-ranking official as the deputy... the reason was definitely not because of his driving skills, but because he was a local of City B.
Only locals of City B can drive their cars from City X to City B, and then get anywhere in City B without any effort.
There's something strange about the deputy... She's never asked him to take her to her daughter's grave. To this day, he's accompanied the deputy back to City B to sweep the graves many times, but he has no idea which cemetery she actually went to.
When the conversation he had just overheard between the ugly woman and her boyfriend who drove a scooter popped into his mind, he was overjoyed.
This is wonderful, so perfect! He was already thinking about what reward the vice president would give him if he told her this secret—would she give him a position or a large sum of money?
