Beijing City
As soon as news broke that the President of the United States was about to visit China, the top leaders in Beijing quickly convened a meeting.
Qin Jinye, the vice mayor of Beijing, was also invited to participate.
Even though he was only sitting in the last row, he was excited, because it meant that he had one foot in the top circle.
He wanted to seize this opportunity to leave a good impression on the leaders.
Once his term is over, it would be best if he could go directly to the Organization Department.
"The meeting discussed the visit of the President of the United States to China. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Commerce..." The top leader sat at the head of the table, with the second-in-command and the Minister of National Defense sitting next to him.
Qin Jinye propped his neck up and looked longingly at the first row.
If one can climb step by step to the pinnacle of power in one's lifetime, then one's life will not have been in vain.
Just as he was imagining himself sitting in the front row, face to face with top leaders and officials, the mayor next to him stood up.
"Security and reception arrangements in Beijing..."
The high-ranking leader listened with a kind expression to his arrangements for Beijing, nodding in approval when he heard something he was satisfied with.
After the mayor finished speaking, Qin Jinye stood up impatiently, "Regarding what the mayor said, I have the following points to add."
“You…” The mayor tugged at his trouser leg, his face showing annoyance.
That damned Qin Jinye, bringing up his little piece of writing at such a serious meeting—if he gets dragged into this, he'll never forgive him.
Many people in the meeting room were quite dissatisfied with his eagerness to stand out.
"Meetings are about speaking freely. Boldly share any good ideas you have. Our comrades should have the spirit of daring to be pioneers," the senior leader said with a smile.
Qin Jinye knew that if he couldn't give a clear answer, his future career would definitely be fraught with difficulties.
Fortunately, he spent the whole night collecting information.
They had some idea of what was going on, otherwise they wouldn't have rashly stood up and stepped forward.
After regaining his composure, he spoke clearly and articulately, "Besides security, reception arrangements, and meeting preparations, public opinion and propaganda also need to be given 100% attention, including official media..."
They're quite capable.
Everyone looked at him.
The mayor secretly glared at him. Damn it, Qin Jinye, he's been itching to sit in the vice mayor's seat for ages.
The big shots in the first row didn't even turn their heads.
However, a middle-aged man in the middle blinked when he heard his name.
Ten minutes later, Qin Jinye's mouth was dry from talking.
The top leader said, "This comrade is right. Official media channels should actively report on the improvement of relations between the two countries, and a positive public opinion environment is also..."
"Which department does this person belong to?" the senior leader asked after finishing his sentence.
"The vice mayor of Beijing," someone answered.
Just as the top leader was about to nod, the middle-aged man in the middle of the first row suddenly spoke up, "What's the surname of the vice mayor of Beijing?"
Qin Jinye thought his name was finally going to be remembered by the big shots, and said with some delight, "My surname is Qin, Qin Jinye."
"Heh..." The middle-aged man's smiling face instantly darkened.
The senior leader looked at the middle-aged man with an accommodating expression, and asked in a practiced tone, "What's wrong, Wei Nian? Do you know this comrade?"
"I heard about his reputation last night." Chu Weinian shifted his chair, glanced at Qin Jinye behind him, and then asked, "Vice Mayor Qin, your son's name is Qin Yushen, right?"
Qin Jinye's heart tightened. What did this Minister of Commerce mean?
Could it be that Qin Yushen offended him at some point, or offended someone from the Chu family?
If that's really the case...
A feeling of disgust and aversion arose inexplicably in his heart.
Qin Yushen is a disgrace to him; why didn't he strangle him when he was born?
We absolutely cannot let Qin Yushen affect his image in the eyes of the leaders; the best way is to downplay his role.
"Minister Chu, Qin Yushen is indeed my son, but his mother and I divorced when he was born. That child has a bad temper, often causes trouble, and bullies his younger siblings."
“I’m busy with work, leaving early and returning late every day, so I’ve neglected his upbringing.”
"If he does anything wrong, I will apologize on his behalf."
"I also have a son named Qin Huaijun, who works in the Ministry of Commerce. You..."
Chu Weinian interrupted him, "You, as a father, really have put a lot of thought into this."
Qin Jinye: "Yes, yes..."
Everyone lowered their heads, trying to suppress their laughter.
Qin Jinye is a fool. He didn't even notice the obvious sarcasm and irony in Chu Weinian's words, and he was still taking credit for it.
The mayor leisurely took a sip of water.
The more foolish Qin Jinye acted, the more it highlighted his composure.
"Does Vice Mayor Qin know that the son of yours, who has a bad temper and likes to cause trouble, was hit by a bomb yesterday while saving military base experts, leaders, and new recruits? He was shot through the chest and is currently in critical condition?"
Chu Weinian slammed his fist on the table and stood up, glaring angrily at Qin Jinye. "Your ex-wife wanted you to see her one last time, and not only did you not go, you're here belittling her."
"Qin Yushen is an outstanding soldier, risking his life on the battlefield, fearlessly charging forward in dangerous missions. To have a father like you is truly..."
What it really means, no need to explain, everyone understands in their hearts.
The leader's faint smile vanished, replaced by an expressionless face that remained unreadable.
The Minister of National Defense also said, "Qin Yushen? I'm familiar with that name. That kid is a ruthless person who doesn't care about his life. He has made a lot of contributions. Old Cao from the Q Province Military Region mentioned him to me a few times. I was even planning to transfer him back to Beijing in two years. This sudden... sigh."
