Chapter Forty-Five Came For This

  (I apologize for the 44 chapters that were not sent earlier, causing trouble to everyone. It has been adjusted now.) Soon he understood why she didn't lock up; every time she changed into a new outfit, she would come out and show it off, forcing Liu Siyuan to give his opinions. After going back and forth for a long time, in the end, based on his suggestion, she chose to wear a short-sleeved blouse with floral patterns on top and light brown seven-eighths pants on the bottom, looking very cute and lovely but not overly sexy. The reason was that Liu Siyuan said that when going to see the old leader, it's more practical to take the cute route; if she dressed too maturely, people wouldn't have any special feelings, and if she dressed too sexily, it might not be well-received.

  Going to see Ouyang Xinghua's old leader's home was not as simple as imagined. Originally, Liu Siyuan thought it should be a taxi ride, but the result was that someone sent a car to the hotel entrance and picked up the two of them. Ouyang Qian explained that generally, taxis absolutely cannot reach Yan Bo's home, only special cars can.

  Liu Siyuan asked strangely: "Xiao Qian, the more I think about it, the more I feel that something is off. You went to visit the old man's family, why did you bring me along? I could have just waited for you at the hotel."

  "I don't know either, anyway, my dad specially took care of it, just said to bring you along." Ouyang Qian shrugged indifferently.

  Two people sat in a black Chinese sedan, very low-key. The car drove for a while and turned into a very quiet area, which was like two different worlds compared to the crowded noise of the big city before.

  The car finally stopped in front of an ancient and elegant mansion, where a middle-aged man with a very refined appearance was waiting at the door.

  "Chu Ting-ge, how did you come out?" Ouyang Qian said with a surprised and pleased expression.

  "It's nothing, Dad asked me to come out and pick you up. It's been a few years since we last met, Xiao Qian is getting prettier and prettier! Oh, this must be Xiao Liu, right?" He said with a friendly smile, stretching out his hand to shake hands with Liu Siyuan.

  Then he took the two of them in, saying as they walked: "My dad is already waiting for you in the living room."

  Ouyang Qian nodded obediently, and since she arrived here, her usual flighty words and deeds have been restrained a lot, and she has become more like a gentle lady. This made Liu Siyuan feel surprised. Women are indeed strange creatures.

  "Is Chu Ting-ge still working at the Ministry of Commerce?" asked Ouyang Qian.

  "Hmm." The middle-aged man, Yan Chuting nodded and said after a while: "Maybe there will be some adjustments in the near future."

  "Oh? Is that so? Then it must be a promotion, congratulations in advance!" Ouyang Qian said with a sincere face.

  "It's nothing." Yan Chuting waved his hand and smiled, "Maybe I'll go work in the government, that's what my dad means."

  Ouyang Qian was quite surprised, "So, Chu Ting is going to enter the front line of officialdom?"

  Yan Chuting pushed his glasses up and smiled wryly: "You could say that."

  As they spoke, the three of them had already entered a spacious living room. A white-haired old man sat in the center, exuding an aura of majesty that made Liu Siyuan dare not look him straight in the eye. There was also a beautiful woman, about thirty years old, sitting beside him. As expected, the notebook began to vibrate again, but Liu Siyuan really didn't have time to pay attention to it.

  "Yan Bo Bo is good." Ouyang Qian hastily said. "Sister-in-law is good."

  Liu Siyuan could only follow suit, calling out as well. The old man nodded and waved his hand for them to sit down.

  "Xiao Qian, you're getting prettier and prettier after all these years." The beautiful woman said with a smile.

  "There's no comparison, I'm far inferior to my sister-in-law." As Ou Yang Qian introduced Liu Siyuan, the old man was clearly Yan Rantian, a member of the Politburo and Vice Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, while the beautiful woman was Yan Chuting's wife, Yan Yan.

  The laptop had already vibrated and displayed her name, along with a B-level mark. This wasn't strange, what was strange was that Liu Siyuan didn't even look at the laptop, but instead an image directly appeared in his mind. Although he was extremely surprised, this wasn't the time to think about it, so he could only go back and slowly investigate.

  After exchanging greetings, the two sat down and a servant brought in some snacks and fruit.

  "What's the current situation in Qianhu Province?" asked Lao Yan, turning his gaze to Liu Siyuan who was sitting upright.

  Liu Siyuan was taken aback, as he was just a small deputy section-level official in the Hanjiang Municipal Government, and had no idea about the stormy changes at the provincial level, where the difference in rank was too great.

  It's okay, Ou Yang Qian seemed to be prepared and answered in a timely manner: "There will indeed be some changes in the province, especially since it is said that Provincial Governor Qiao will be transferred to Heihe Province as Party Secretary, and there are rumors that Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Committee Du Langqing may take over as Provincial Governor, then Hanjiang City's Hu Yinghua Secretary will take over as Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Committee, in charge of party building work"

  "Lang Qing's qualifications have arrived, and the handover of the provincial governor's position has basically reached a consensus in the political circle." Yan Rantian nodded and said, "After Qiao Zhenglian leaves, the leadership team of Qianhu Province may need to be adjusted again, which involves a process of grinding. Yinghua should be able to move up to the deputy secretary position, this position is very critical and requires connecting the top and bottom, the difficulty of work is not small." In fact, involving these provincial and ministerial-level officials' adjustments, no one is clearer than the Politburo members, because all of these need to be passed through the Politburo meeting. So what Yan Rantian said has a very high degree of authenticity.

  Ouyang Qian also nodded and said: "My dad also said that according to rumors, this time the secretary will not move, so overall, Qianhu Province should be able to transition smoothly."

  Yan Ran nodded and pondered for a moment before saying, "Secretary Xiang should remain still for the time being. However, the Xiao family has not been idle recently and is actively working to explore ways to promote Secretary Xiang in situ. Moreover, Little Chen can likely take over as the Secretary of the Hanjiang Municipal Party Committee, with that one person having a great deal of influence in supporting him."

  Liu Siyuan guessed that Little Chen was probably Mayor Chen Guoshi, and indeed, Ou Yangqian said: "I know, but Mayor Chen doesn't seem to have been in Hanjiang for a long time either."

  Ouyang Qian's words clearly meant that he thought Chen Guo's promotion was a bit difficult, after all, he had only been mayor for less than a year. Yan Ran shook his head and said, "Tell your dad, there are not many people in the capital who can speak up for Little Chen, this provincial party committee member is not unexpected, there shouldn't be too much of a problem, let him make early arrangements."

  Liu Siyuan understood on one side that Ouyang Xinghua was mainly to listen to Yan Rantian's information about the adjustment of Qianhu Province's team, in order to take action next.

  Ouyang Qian nodded and said: "My dad also asked me to ask for your advice on how to proceed next, hoping you can give some pointers."

  Yan Ran smiled and said, "Tell Xing Hua that his own path still needs to be walked by himself. The only thing I want to say is that every step should be taken steadily, if you walk too fast or too hastily, it's easy to fall."

  Ouyang Qian nodded and said, "I know, I'll convey it word for word." After finishing, she stuck out her tongue, looking like she had completed a task, with an adorable expression that made Yan Chuting and his wife smile. Even Yan Rantian showed a hint of kindness on his face. It seemed that Ouyang Xinghua was wise to have sent this daughter to deliver the message.

  "By the way, I heard when we came in that Chuting is going to work for the government?" Ouyang Qian suddenly asked.

  Yan Ran nodded and said, "I want him to go work in Qianhu Province."

  Ouyang Qian was shocked, covering her small mouth with a disbelieving expression.

  "It was my own suggestion, Beijing's winter is too cold, your sister-in-law fears the cold, and has always wanted to go to a warmer place in the south. Uncle Ouyang is in Qianhu Province, I thought it would be good to have someone to rely on there." Yan Chuting interjected.

  "Oh, that's great, Chu Ting Ge this time went to Qian Hu Province..." Ouyang Qian hastily said.

  "It hasn't been decided yet, it should be possible to upgrade one level to deputy director level." Yan Chuting shrugged.

  "Oh, a full hall, either the provincial department head or the top leader of the prefecture-level city party and government." Ouyang Qian said immediately, Liu Siyuan also felt quite emotional listening to it. The second generation of officials is really powerful, looking at Yan Chuting's age, not too old, at most 35 years old, has already been promoted to a full hall, for him this is already a top-level position, but he speaks with a calm and composed tone, truly making people feel envious to death.

  "Uh, my dad wants me to work in the city." Yanzhu Ting nodded. "Speaking of which, Xiaoxian, you're more familiar with Qianhu Province, where do you think I should go?"

  This has left Ouyang Qian speechless. Qianhu Province has one vice-provincial city, eleven prefecture-level cities and one autonomous prefecture. Although Ouyang Qian is a native of Qianhu Province, her activities are basically limited to Hanjiang City. She has no understanding of the other prefecture-level cities in the province, let alone Yan Chuting's seemingly casual questions, which obviously have been brewing for some time. This concerns his own future development and cannot be answered casually, lest he mislead him.

  Seeing Ouyang Qian's embarrassed expression, Liu Siyuan had to jump out and play the hero for once. In fact, his understanding of the provincial-level cities was not much stronger than Ouyang Qian's. However, it just so happened that since Ouyang Xinghua mentioned the demotion last time, he and Fang Xinyi had discussed this issue together, so it could be said that it was just what he needed.

  For a moment he was enlightened and finally understood why he had been asked to accompany Ouyang Qian, it turned out that it was for this very question.
