official career

"I agree." Qin Feng nodded.

"I told you, as long as you open your mouth, she will definitely listen. I've been trying to persuade her for several days but she still won't agree." Li Jing smiled.

Qin Feng and Li Jing walked out of the school. Li Jing drove Qin Feng to Xiao Jianan's Red Mansion. He specially reserved a room for Qin Feng in the Red Mansion as his residence when he returned to Dongyang.

Qin Feng was too lazy to stay in a hotel, so he asked Li Jing to drive him there.

"Hong Yue said you are pregnant." Sitting in the car, Qin Feng hesitated for a moment before asking.

"Yes." Li Jing did not deny it, and she seemed to have guessed that Qin Feng would ask this question, and then said: "More than three months."

"This is quite sudden. You didn't even inform us in advance..." Qin Feng said tactfully.

"How do we greet each other about this?" Li Jing smiled.

"That's not what I meant." Qin Feng explained awkwardly, and then said, "I meant the child's father. You didn't even introduce him to us."

"What's the point of introducing? I don't even know who the child's father is." Li Jing still said with a smile.

"Ah? Are you kidding?"

"I'm not kidding. I'm serious. I really don't know who the father of the child is. I was in a bad mood at that time, so I went to the bar to drink. I drank too much, and then I went to a hotel with a man to sleep. After we woke up, we all patted our butts and went home. I don't know who he is, and he doesn't know who I am. We are adults, so it's not a big deal. I just didn't expect to get pregnant." Li Jing said it very naturally.

Qin Feng frowned. He couldn't tell whether what Li Jing said was true or false.

"At first I didn't expect to be pregnant, but later I found something was wrong and went to the hospital for a check-up and was told I was pregnant. I panicked and my first thought was of course to abort the baby, but when it came time to make the decision I couldn't bring myself to do it."

"I'm not young anymore, and I've decided long ago not to get married in this life, but I really want to be a mother. This is a woman's nature. Now God has given me a child, and I want to cherish him. I want to be a mother, and I want to give birth to him, so I've kept him until now, and he's doing very well. He's been very healthy in several checkups." Li Jing stroked her belly awkwardly as she said this, with a happy smile unique to a mother flashing on her face.

"But you can't let the child be born without a father, right? Tell me the hotel's information and I'll have someone check it out. We'll definitely be able to find out who this man is."

"Why do you want to check?" Li Jing asked Qin Feng.

"This... the child is his..."

"The child is mine and has nothing to do with him. Even if they find out, I can't marry him. Besides, who knows what kind of person he is? Is he married? Finding out will only cause more trouble." Li Jing said.

Qin Feng was silent. What Li Jing said did make sense.

"It's the 21st century now. There's no such thing as him having to be responsible for anything. The child is mine to give birth to. He is mine alone. I will raise him well and make him the happiest child in the world." Li Jing said while touching her belly.

"But if a child is born without a father, it will always be a regret for his life."

"Who said he has no father? Aren't you his father?" Li Jing turned and looked at Qin Feng and said with a smile.

"Ah..." Qin Feng widened his eyes.

"What? Is it not possible for you to be his godfather?" Li Jing said with a smile again.

"Can you please stop breathing so hard when you speak?" Qin Feng smiled and continued, "A godfather can never replace a biological father."

"Godfather... is my biological father. He will never lack fatherly love." Li Jing said this while looking forward, one hand still gently stroking her belly.

Although he felt that Li Jing's having a child out of wedlock was not in line with social ethics and was not very rational, it was Li Jing's own business after all. Since Li Jing insisted, Qin Feng couldn't say anything. Qin Feng also understood Li Jing's feelings as a woman who wanted to become a mother.

Qin Feng stayed in the Red Building for one night. The next day, before dawn, Wang Jun drove over to pick up Qin Feng, and then drove directly to Xiquan.

Because time was tight, Qin Feng rushed to Xiquan and went to Xie Zhiguo's office.

"Set out so early in the morning?" Seeing that Qin Feng arrived at Xiquan at this time, Xie Zhiguo also guessed that Qin Feng had set out early.

"We set off before dawn. Fortunately, the road was smooth and there was no traffic jam. Minister Zhao's decision came too sudden and too urgent. I have to rush to Zhongjiang tomorrow and then take a plane to Beijing, so I have to hurry." Qin Feng sighed.

"Yes, Minister Zhao's decision is really... too sudden, and it caught us off guard. But this is an organizational decision, and we must accept it no matter how difficult it is." Xie Zhiguo nodded.

"Minister Zhao called me personally yesterday to ask for my opinion. To be honest, I definitely don't want you to attend the study class at this time. But from the perspective of your personal development, going to the study class is very important. And Minister Zhao didn't call me to really ask for my opinion. In this matter, my opinion is not that important." Xie Zhiguo smiled.

"This morning, the documents from the Organization Department have been sent down, along with your admission notice. You can go to Minister He's place to get your letter. By the way, Minister He will also want to talk to you and ask you to share your opinions on Yian's adjustment plan." Xie Zhiguo continued.

"Okay, Secretary Xie, have you discussed my plan for adjusting the Yian team with Minister He? Does the organization agree?" Qin Feng asked again, worried.

"Did you talk to Minister Zhao yesterday?" Xie Zhiguo asked back.

"Minister Zhao said he supports it in principle, but the prerequisite is to obtain the consent of the Xiquan Municipal Party Committee."

Xie Zhiguo smiled and said, "That's it. Minister Zhao has supported it in principle, and the Xiquan Municipal Party Committee certainly has no objection. However, the necessary procedures must be followed. You will go to Minister He to explain your plan in detail. This adjustment plan is proposed by you, and then reviewed and approved by the Municipal Party Committee and reported to the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department. This is in line with the procedures and is reasonable. Do you understand?"

Qin Feng nodded. He certainly understood what Xie Zhiguo meant. "I'll go find Minister He later."

"The reason I called you here today is, first of all, to talk to you on behalf of the organization. This study class is of a very high level and the places are extremely scarce. As far as I know, there is only one class in each three-year session, and each province has only one place. The fact that you can get in shows how much Minister Zhao cares about you." Xie Zhiguo said with a smile.

Qin Feng nodded and said, "That's true. The registration date for this class has already passed."

"Those who can enter this study class are not ordinary people. You know this, so I won't say much. As long as you enter this study class and come out, you will be fundamentally different from ordinary comrades, so no matter what, you must study hard and perform well there." Xie Zhiguo encouraged Qin Feng.
