But he knew in his heart that once he returned to the Li family, Li Ci's personality would cause a lot of trouble.
She saw that someone had taken her place, and it would be a miracle if she could get along well with him.
Once he returns to the Li family, he has plenty of ways to make that person unable to stay.
No matter what, he had lived with his maternal grandfather and his family for so many years, and no one knew them better than him.
"Okay, Mom will listen to you. I'll do whatever you say." Li Ci hesitated for a moment, then looked up and her eyes were filled with determination.
"Okay, okay, Mom, just like I said last time, you can pretend to be sick. You'll have to suffer a bit, but it's for our future."
"When you get back to Grandpa's house, act pitiful. You'll definitely be able to stay. Mom, you have to understand that Grandpa isn't the same Grandpa he used to be, so you have to be a little humble and make sure he stays."
Qi Bowen's words struck a chord with Li Ci, making her realize how much she was suffering.
"Okay, I understand." Since Li Ci had agreed, she didn't hesitate any longer; she was truly fed up with her current life.
While the two were discussing countermeasures, Su Ti and Wei Baichuan went home, had lunch, and then took a stroll around the military brigade.
People occasionally pass by in the compound, but none of them dare to come up and chat with them.
"Looks like we've made a name for ourselves this morning." Suti smiled nonchalantly.
“That’s fine too. Unnecessary socializing is time-consuming and laborious.” Wei Baichuan’s words made Su Ti smile knowingly.
The two familiarized themselves with the compound and gained a general understanding of the locations of various places in Beijing.
Su Ti thought that once Wei Baichuan's job was settled, she would look for housing. Even if she didn't achieve anything in the future, being a landlady would be pretty good.
When the two returned home, Marshal Li and the others had already returned. Judging from their beaming faces, things had gone very smoothly.
"Child, come here, your household registration is done. Take a look." Marshal Li looked at the certificate in his hand, his eyes full of smiles.
Wei Baichuan took the certificate from his hand and his thoughts were complicated when he saw the three characters "Li Baichuan" on it.
He changed his identity and had nothing to do with his past anymore.
He was no longer the Wei Baichuan who lived a difficult life in Yangliu Brigade, nor the Wei Baichuan who was heartbroken because he didn't know why he received his parents' love.
“I haven’t canceled your status with the Yangliu Brigade. That should be left to the person who rightfully belongs to him. Now everything should go back to normal.”
"As for your job, I had your dad put in a good word with them, and you can report for duty tomorrow."
Marshal Li was quick to act. At his level, if he really wanted to do something, he only needed to say a few words and a bunch of people would do it for him.
"I've already spoken to the transportation department, but I'll need to learn for a while before I can start working in transportation."
“The transportation departments in Beijing are usually located in the surrounding areas. Each factory has its own loading and unloading departments, so there is no need for a transportation department. They generally serve department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives.”
"There will be someone to guide you when you get there. As for your studies, you haven't finished elementary school yet, so I plan to have you start learning elementary school knowledge first."
"Take an hour during your lunch break and some time in the evening to catch up on your studies."
Qi Feng looked at Wei Baichuan. He had arranged every step very carefully, just in case Wei Baichuan felt tired.
After all, he hadn't liked Qi Bowen's controlling nature when they talked before.
"Okay, thank you... Dad." Wei Baichuan looked at the man in front of him and called out "Dad" naturally.
For some reason, he suddenly thought of the flexible and adaptable man he had met earlier that day.
Sometimes being too formal doesn't do him any good.
He needs to learn to be slick, to read people's expressions, and to yield.
Wei Baichuan's cry of "Dad!" drew the attention of everyone in the family, especially Su Ti, who had thought she would be the one to say "Dad" first.
"Sigh, okay, okay." Qi Feng felt his eyes sting when he heard "Dad."
I'm getting old, and my heart has softened. Now that the child is back, we'll have plenty of time to spend together.
It's only a matter of time before he calls me "Dad," so why am I so unsettled?
"Alright, this is good news. Now that Baichuan's matter is settled, let's talk about Su's matter."
Marshal Li patted Qi Feng on the shoulder. This was the first time he had seen Qi Feng like this, but he could understand.
Having lived most of his life, he now knows his son isn't his biological child, and his wife has grown distant from him.
I finally managed to bring my son home, and I'm being very careful because I don't know how to get along with him.
He was relieved that the child was willing to step forward; otherwise, he didn't know how the two of them would have been holding their tongues together.
“Girl, I want to arrange for you to work in the Reform Department. To be honest, that used to be where Qi Bowen worked.”
“After he ran away, I had him removed from his position. I knew he hadn’t given up and was definitely plotting something bad.”
"But don't worry, Grandpa and your dad are sensible. In the end, they will definitely make him go back to where he belongs willingly."
“I want you to take that position. You may not know this since you're new, but the Ministry of Development and Reform is a department that Beijing doesn't really have a say in.”
"There is no direct superior, but it is related to every department, after all, no department can avoid relationships in its development."
"The clerks there are basically there to get a 'prestige' and build up their qualifications. Whether they can actually learn anything after they get in depends entirely on themselves."
Marshal Li explained his arrangements, and he felt there was no more suitable place.
Now that he's in his position, he's better able to gauge the prevailing winds. He knows that the current turmoil is only temporary, and he needs to make plans as soon as possible.
"Grandpa, I think it's great." Su Ti was more than willing when he heard that it was Qi Bowen's position.
She will definitely go to university in the future, but in the next few years, she has no intention of giving up the necessary network of connections.
The best place would definitely be the one arranged for Qi Bowen back then. Su Ti knew that the old marshal wanted her to support the Li family.
Putting everything else aside, the main reason is that she is carrying the future of the Li family, so Baichuan is not suitable, and only she is left.
She not only has to hold on, but she also has to do even better than Qi Bowen.
Thinking back to his past life, Qi Bowen did so many shameful things by taking advantage of the Li family's power.
Despite his numerous misdeeds, the higher-ups still protected him. Why? Because he was the only surviving member of the Li family, and they couldn't let the old hero's line end.
In this life, she wanted to lead the Li family down a bright path and give the two children in her womb a splendid future.
"Good, good." Marshal Li looked into the girl's clear eyes and thought it was good this way.
Baichuan's life has been full of twists and turns, but who can say that his luck is bad?
Now that everything is arranged, he can finally focus on dealing with outsiders.
