Xi Pingan smiled.
"I've met him, but we've never spoken or worked together. I was just a greenhorn back then, so many years ago, let's not talk about it."
You don't need to overthink it. I'm already aware of the achievements of the two Qin family members, and I feel very comfortable working with you.
This is a small county town, and a poor one at that. The things they're doing now have added a lot of work, but compared to your previous job, the workload is about the same.
In my work, I believe in recognizing and utilizing talent, and rewarding the capable. I certainly won't let someone as capable as you go to waste, so you probably won't be idle either.
However, unnecessary socializing, pointless formalities, and reciprocal gift-giving are not worth considering. Here, everything is focused on getting things done.
In general, focusing on work can be physically tiring, but if you're thinking about important matters, it will definitely make things much easier.
Furthermore, putting everything else aside, with this brat here, we're practically family now.
The Xi family is solely devoted to the country and its people. While they may not be as powerful as the Qin family, they are still unwaveringly loyal. Therefore, we can skip any unnecessary precautions and tests. What do you say?
Oh wow!
Is it really that simple to just watch the excitement?
"Isn't he afraid of scaring his older brother away?"
Qin Qinghuai also spoke softly.
"Perhaps it's a characteristic of workaholics; you can tell they're the same kind at a glance?"
I nodded simply, completely agreeing.
Qin Qingjiang was also a little confused, but since this was a familiar occasion, he quickly came to his senses.
"certainly!"
Xi Pingan reached out his hand.
"Then, it's a pleasure to cooperate!"
The merits of the Qin family elders were real, but upon learning this news, Xi Ping'an still had someone thoroughly investigate the Qin family, especially Qin Qingjiang's background and attitude towards handling matters. He made sure that Qin Qingjiang was not someone who was indecisive or unable to distinguish right from wrong, and that the Qin family's stance was very clear, before agreeing to let him come.
The Qin family members are considered family, so they find it convenient to use. Otherwise, would they really think this is a vegetable market where anyone can just come and take what they want?
Qin Qingjiang was quite surprised that the secretary had revealed everything to him so readily. However, he wasn't stupid; he could tell from the other person's words that there was a reason behind it all, which was related to his younger brother and sister-in-law.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate with you! This area is completely unfamiliar to me. If there's anything I don't understand in the future, I hope you'll give me some guidance."
My family's shameful affairs are no secret. Now I've entrusted the elderly and children to these two. I'm so glad they're here, and I'm also glad my brother and sister-in-law are so generous and don't hold it against me, otherwise things would really be difficult now.
I have no other desires now. I just want to work hard and contribute to the development and construction here; that would be enough to lighten their burden.
Upon hearing this, Xi Ping'an's gaze went straight to Jian Dan, his expression questioning, yet a smile remained on his lips.
"This little girl, all she knew was eating, drinking, and having fun before, but now that she's grown up, she's become so sensible."
"You can't say that. My sister-in-law has always been exceptionally outstanding. The best thing my third son has ever done in all these years is to marry her. She's strong, generous, and sensible. With such a stable and supportive home front, this silly boy is truly blessed."
People say that a good wife is one who brings prosperity to three generations, and this is absolutely true.
Xi Ping'an's eyes were full of smiles. It was perfectly normal for a parent like him to feel proud when his child was praised.
This praise was so direct, especially to his face; it was incredibly awkward.
"Next time you praise me, please let me know in advance so I can excuse myself. I'd be so embarrassed!"
Xi Ping'an burst into laughter without any restraint, and Qin Qingjiang couldn't help but chuckle as well; this really was just a child.
Soon, Xiao Zheng returned with two children, carrying large and small bags. One bag contained takeout lunches, and the rest were probably things he had bought to take back home. Qin Yi, who had been playing the fool the whole time, quickly went to help.
After the meal, another of Xi Ping'an's bodyguards pushed open the door and entered, also carrying large and small bags.
"These things were brought over from the capital by someone I had asked. I was wondering how to send them to you, but now I'll just load them all onto the truck."
Before anyone could react, the guard nodded and left, with Xiao Zheng following closely behind. Qin Yi glanced at Qin Qinghuai and quickly followed after him.
"Huh? No, Uncle, I don't need anything, why did you buy so much again?"
"What's yours is yours, what I give is mine,"
As he spoke, he took out another envelope from the bottom drawer of his desk. Seeing its thickness, Jian simply waved his hand and stepped back.
"No, no, I don't need anything, I have money and tickets,"
They give it to me every time, and sometimes they even ask Cheng Chao to bring me money or things. Even my own parents would do that, right?
"Don't give it to me, you should keep it to save up for your wife!"
Upon hearing this, Xi Ping'an became even more decisive, tossing the envelope into her arms and opening the door to see her out.
"Hurry up, hurry up, it'll be dark soon!"
Qin Qinghuai, suppressing a laugh, dragged Jian Dan out of the office.
"Uncle, we'll head back now and come see you again next time."
Xi Ping'an was given a headache by Jian Dan's sudden interruption with marriage pressure, and waved his hand in refusal.
"No need. You guys just stay put. Keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't cause any trouble. Call her if anything happens, and don't let anyone bully her."
"I know, I know. You're not even old yet, and you're already nagging. Uncle, you'll never find a wife if you keep going like this."
Xiao Zheng covered her mouth, trying not to laugh out loud; Qin Qingjiang stared blankly, his mouth agape; Xi Ping'an feigned disgust, but his eyes were full of amusement.
"Why does this perfectly normal little girl have a mouth?"
The journey back was much easier. Qin Yi drove, Qin Qinghuai was in the passenger seat, and Jian Dan and the two children were in the back seat. They chatted and ate all the way, and the two in the front didn't even have a chance to fall asleep.
