Rebirth as an official

It was noon, and Qiu Yating's mother prepared an exquisite family banquet. Although there were no expensive ingredients, the taste was absolutely outstanding.

Before eating, Li An also asked Qiu Yating where his grandfather had gone. According to the information Li An knew, this villa belonged to his grandfather, and their family was technically a boarding house.

Qiu Yating told Li An that Mr. Qiu went to her aunt's house today and would be back in the evening. Li An understood what he meant when he heard this.

In fact, this is his first visit. Qiu Yating's parents will check him first. They will only take him to see Mr. Qiu if they think there is no problem. As for Qiu Yating's grandmother, she passed away a few years ago.

Qiu Yating and her family sat down with Li An in the restaurant. After some polite exchanges, lunch officially began.

Qiu Yating's mother kept picking up food for Li An very enthusiastically, and Qiu Quansheng picked up the wine bottle and poured wine for Li An.

Facing such enthusiastic parents, Li An was overwhelmed and at a loss for a while, while Qiu Yating hid aside and snickered.

After Qiu Quansheng filled everyone's glasses, he raised his glass and said, "We will all be a family from now on. Come, let's drink together."

"cheers!"

Seeing that everyone was toasting, Li An glanced at Qiu Yating, who was looking at him with a begging look, so he had no choice but to raise his glass and echoed "Cheers".

After everyone finished drinking, Qiu Quansheng filled Li An's glass with wine again, picked up the glass and said, "Li An, from now on Tingting will be left to you. This child has a stubborn temper. Please be more patient. If you are wronged, Tell me and I will scold her."

"Dad, how can you be so biased towards outsiders?" Qiu Yating was unhappy and started to act coquettishly, but her face had already turned red.

"Haha, Xiao Li, you are one of your own family now, how can there be any outsiders?" Qiu Quansheng waved his hand and laughed heartily.

"Dad~" Qiu Yating lowered her head shyly, her expression filled with the happiness of a little woman.

Li An could see that Qiu Yating's parents really liked him, and the enthusiasm shown was sincere. Qiu Yating seemed to have fallen into this illusion. Sitting here now, Li An felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

Fortunately, the meal didn't last long.

After eating, Qiu Yating was called by her mother to help in the kitchen, while Li An followed Qiu Quansheng to the study.

Li An understood that Qiu Quansheng had something to say to him. After all, according to the normal process, if you want someone else's daughter, there must be a separate conversation between the father-in-law and the son-in-law.

The most eye-catching thing when you enter the study is the huge desk in the middle, which is made of the same dark wood, with a smooth and hard top.

There are four treasures of the study on the table, as well as several pieces of fine rice paper, some of which have writing on them.

The floor-to-ceiling windows in the study are spacious and bright, and the curtains are made of fine silk. The translucent design allows sunlight to softly enter the room, while also protecting the privacy of the owner.

Through the window, you can see the garden of the villa, where green plants and bright flowers add a touch of natural color to the study.

There are two quaint wooden chairs by the floor-to-ceiling window, and there is an exquisite chessboard on the coffee table next to it, with an unfinished chess game on it.

In your spare time, sit here with a cup of tea, study chess records, or look at the garden outside the window and enjoy the tranquility and freedom.

Qiu Quansheng first sat on the chair by the window and said to Li An: "Xiao Li, sit there and talk."

Li An obediently sat on the chair opposite Qiu Quansheng, ready to listen to Qiu Quansheng's teachings at any time, but Li An complained in his heart, hoping to end the visit as soon as possible.

"I also know a little about your situation. You have done a good job in the past two years and achieved some results, especially at the grassroots level. You can become a deputy department-level cadre at the age of 25, which is enough to illustrate your ability."

Qiu Quansheng came up with a compliment, which made Li An a little embarrassed. He quickly said humbly: "Thank you for the compliment, uncle. There is nothing worth showing off."

"Let me tell you one more thing. You have been included in the reserve cadre list of the Linjiang Municipal Party Committee Organization Department." Qiu Quansheng said.

Hearing this news made Li An very happy. Being on the municipal party committee's reserve cadre list meant that if nothing went wrong, he would have a very high probability of becoming a deputy director-level cadre.

"Thank you uncle for telling me the news." Li An couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.

Only a few people know about this kind of thing. At the municipal party committee level, only the secretary, mayor and organization director know about it. As for Qiu Quansheng, he only knows about it because of his position as the director of the first division of the organization department of the provincial party committee.

Qiu Quansheng continued: "Xiao Li, uncle still wants to remind you."

Hearing this, Li An immediately perked up. Qiu Quansheng knew a lot more about his position than he did.

He said to remind himself that he must listen carefully, and maybe he can avoid many minefields.

"Although you are doing well in Yangdong now, the water in Yangdong is very deep, which involves the struggle in the city. I heard that Chen Xingsheng valued you very much before, and then Hu Shuo treated you well?"

Hearing Qiu Quansheng's question, Li An nodded honestly, "Yes, both leaders are very good to me."

"You handled this very poorly. If you decide to follow a leader, you must serve him wholeheartedly. You can't have the idea of ​​​​chasing between Qin and Chu."

"This~" Li An originally wanted to refute, but then he nodded and said, "Li An has learned a lesson."

But I did feel a wry smile in my heart. Is this a choice I can make?I am a small person and cannot afford to offend anyone.

Qiu Quansheng seemed to see that Li An was not convinced, and continued: "In Linjiang City, the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Zhao Yongzhan and the Executive Vice Mayor Gu Feng have always been political allies, so the relationship between Chen Xingsheng and Hu Shuo in the county has been good, but It’s different now.”

"Did something happen?" Li An asked immediately.

"The municipal leadership team will be changed in June next year. The provincial party committee leaders intend to transfer Zhao Yongzhan to the province. The original mayor Liu Dongtao will become the new municipal party committee secretary, and Gufeng will become the mayor. Such changes will greatly affect the situation in your county. Otherwise, the honeymoon period between Hu Shuo and Chen Xingsheng will be over. Do you know what this means?"

This news really shocked Li An. If this news is true, then Linjiang City will change. Once the emperor and his courtiers become emperor, life will not be easy for Zhao Yongzhan's former confidants.

Especially Chen Xingsheng, his ability to gain a firm foothold in Yangdong County comes from Zhao Yongzhan. If Zhao Yongzhan leaves, the forces that have been suppressed by him will launch a strong counterattack against him. If he cannot hold on, then Chen Xingsheng's position will be It might be in jeopardy.

At this time, Li An was wondering whether he should remind Peng Zheng and let him make plans in advance.

Qiu Quansheng did not ask for Li An's answer. Instead, he stood up and walked to the desk, picked up a brush and dipped it in ink, and wrote two traditional Chinese characters on the rice paper, "willingness".

Li An also followed, looked at Qiu Quansheng's powerful two characters, and praised: "Uncle, what a good calligraphy."

When Qiu Quansheng heard Li An's compliment, he just smiled slightly, pointed at the words and said, "Do you know how to understand these two words?"

"If you are willing to give up, you will gain. Only when you are willing to lose can you gain more." Li An gave his own understanding.

"Well, many people understand this truth, but very few people can actually apply it. Especially in the officialdom, these two words are very important. They contain the way to be an official. Sometimes, don't be fooled by the false scenes in front of you. To be confused, you must have the determination of a strong man to cut off his arms and dare to give up. If you really handle the relationship between giving and receiving in the officialdom, then you will have won more than half of the success."

Qiu Quansheng saw that Li An frowned slightly and fell into deep thought after hearing what he said. He nodded slightly, feeling that a boy could be taught, which also paved the way for what he was going to say next. .
