Director Guo did not stay long and quickly stood up to say goodbye.
Gu Qi and Chen Xingling sent him and the driver to the garden gate and invited him to come over for tea when he was free.
Director Guo looked at the couple and waved thoughtfully.
"Come here, I have something to tell you."
Gu Qi took his wife and moved forward.
Director Guo narrowed his eyes and whispered, "Aqi, your promotion in politics won't be fast. However, you are a technical talent, so you have a promising future."
Gu Qi didn't quite understand what he heard.
Chen Xingling heard the other party's hidden meaning and tried to test him: "Director, Aqi is still young after all, and he needs to be trained before he can take on important responsibilities."
"Yes." Director Guo sighed and smiled bitterly: "It's just that I'm already old... I'm about to retire. Right now there's a lack of young people, and my family is a hopeless case."
Gu Qi also understood what was said and whispered, "You need to have more backup political juniors around you. I am only suitable for the field of science and technology, and my work can only focus on it."
He knows exactly what he is good at.
He could only hold some of the political positions temporarily and could not do both.
In addition, he found that his son was very smart and could not be taught using conventional educational models.
This was how he had been in the past, and he realized when he grew up that if he had received proper and correct guidance as a child, he would probably be much more than this now.
He had no choice but to take the wrong path, and he didn't want his son to repeat the same mistake.
The enlightenment period for children is extremely short, and if you miss it, it may be a lifetime loss.
He couldn't let his regret happen to his son again, so he wanted to design some unique learning models by his own way and enlighten his son himself.
In the past few years, his wife has raised their son so well, with a cheerful personality and strong body. He was far away in the south and couldn't help before, but now he can't be lazy anymore.
Raising children is the common responsibility of both husband and wife, and the wife cannot be blamed for everything.
Next, she had to let her go to college with peace of mind while he took care of the children.
It's difficult to do two things at once. He has to go to work and teach his son at the same time. I'm afraid he won't be able to strive for promotion in politics for the time being.
Greed is not a good thing, he should make choices.
Director Guo nodded slowly and turned to look at Chen Xingling.
"Aqi's wife, study hard, your future will be more extraordinary and brilliant than Aqi's."
Chen Xingling was too embarrassed to give up: "Thank you! I appreciate your good words."
Director Guo smiled and said, "Talking to you and your wife tonight has given me a sense of enlightenment. Perhaps I need to deal with some things from a different perspective."
Gu Qi and Chen Xingling looked at each other and just smiled.
Director Guo said, "Aqi, I will transfer Liu Xinnian here. In addition, I will also apply for a female leader at the level of director to come here. You have to cooperate with them both."
Gu Qi nodded slightly.
Director Guo nodded slightly, got into the car, closed the door and left.
Chen Xingling looked suspicious and turned his head to ask, "Aqi, what does the factory director mean by the last sentence? Liu Xinnian - that is Guo Jiayue's husband, the man who lives across from us?"
"Yes." Gu Qi explained in a low voice: "When I first entered the factory, he and I were in the same office, so we were pretty familiar with each other. He and Guo Jiayue had always been at odds, and everyone in the factory knew it. Later, he applied to go to a branch factory and became the deputy director there, but he refused to come back for several years."
"Because of Guo Jiayue?" Chen Xingling asked.
Gu Qi nodded: "He wanted to divorce all along, but Guo Jiayue refused. Old Guo didn't agree either, because he valued Xinnian's talent. Liu Xinnian simply stayed in the branch factory, and he only worked a few hours a year."
Chen Xingling said "Ah?" and guessed, "So, Lao Guo wants to transfer him here, probably because he agrees with his divorce application?"
"Yeah." Gu Qi lowered his voice and said, "A few days ago, Liu Xin came to the factory for a meeting. I met him and brought Xiao Huzi to have lunch together. He liked Xiao Huzi very much and secretly sighed that he was over 40 years old. If he didn't have a child, he might never have his own child in this life."
"Wow!" Chen Xingling was surprised: "He's already in his forties? I can't tell! He's really well maintained!"
Gu Qi laughed dumbly: "He was born into a scholar family, and his facial features are very good-looking. Since he started working in government, he has not been exposed to the wind and sun. He has looked pretty much the same for more than ten years, and you can't tell at all that he is over 40."
Chen Xingling asked curiously, "What Director Guo meant just now... is he satisfied?"
"Most likely." Gu Qi whispered, "There was another meeting that afternoon. Liu Xinnian was late. When he came in, he was covered in blood and his forehead was still bleeding. Everyone was shocked. Everyone rushed forward to help him sit down. He looked at Lao Guo and whispered that he had had enough and couldn't live anymore. Everyone else understood what was going on. Lao Guo was so angry that his face turned black. He asked someone to send Liu Xinnian to the infirmary. The meeting could not continue and was later disbanded."
Chen Xingling couldn't help but ask: "Is it serious?"
"There's a small cut on his forehead." Gu Qi answered, "It's not serious, but there's blood on his face and clothes, and he looks pretty miserable. I heard that Lao Guo scolded Guo Jiayue and then went to take care of Liu Xinnian himself. Lao Guo probably thought it through, so he plans to approve their divorce application. If he didn't agree, Liu Xinnian wouldn't be willing to come."
"Have you figured it out?" Chen Xingling asked in a low voice, "Does he need Liu Xinnian by his side?"
"It should be." Gu Qi replied: "He really needs a capable person like Liu Xinnian by his side. Lao Guo should understand that no matter whether he is his nephew's husband or not, Liu Xinnian will always be a good subordinate brought up by him. A forced marriage is too torturous, and a forced melon is not sweet after all. Sometimes, if you want to hold on tighter, you can only let go first."
Chen Xingling nodded suddenly and asked curiously, "What's going on with the female director?"
"I don't know the details." Gu Qi whispered, "She should be Mrs. Guo's niece. I heard that she used to be a soldier, about 30 years old, and because of her diligence and good political achievements, she held a very high position."
Chen Xingling couldn't help but ask, "Doesn't Lao Guo have a daughter? I heard she married far away?"
"Yes." Gu Qi explained: "I heard from Lao Guo before that his daughter was weak-willed and had no ambition. She liked to read books and didn't like to interact with people. Later, she fell in love with a teacher, and the two got married smoothly. She followed her husband to his hometown in the north. The couple taught in a middle school there. They only contacted Lao Guo during the holidays, and didn't even send letters often at that time."
After hearing this, Chen Xingling couldn't help but sigh.
"Old Guo really doesn't have that many trusted people around him, and his only son is useless. No wonder he had to summon Liu Xinnian and hurriedly transferred his niece over."
Gu Qi nodded and guessed, "Xin Nian was the factory director at the branch factory, and he is the deputy factory director here, which is equivalent to his right-hand man. As for the female director, she must be at least a deputy director when she is transferred here."
"Oh oh." Chen Xingling yawned and said with little interest: "I'm tired today, let's take a shower and go to bed."
Gu Qi whispered distressedly: "You have been too hard these days, you need to rest well in the next few days. Come on, let's go upstairs. We can clean up the rest tomorrow, don't worry about it for now."
Chen Xingling twisted his neck and walked into the house, muttering, "I can ignore everything else, but it seems there's one thing I have to take care of."
"What?" Gu Qi closed the door behind him.
Chen Xingling replied: "A guy named 'Gu Yinmo'!"
Gu Qi was stunned for a moment, then realized that he hadn't seen his son for a long time, and hurried to the study.
I saw that all the lights in the study were on, including the two small table lamps my wife had just bought, making the study as bright as day.
A certain brat was slumped over the desk and snoring, his saliva having already stained a large area of the "Zizhi Tongjian" on his body.
Gu Qi: “…”
Xing'er is right. We can ignore the other things for now, but this brat really can't be ignored.
So, a tired father closed all the doors and windows, turned off all the lights, fished out his son who was sleeping like a dead pig, and carried him upstairs exhausted.
