Chapter 503 Persuading Hou Liangping and Comforting Gao Yuliang
"No progress!"
Hou Liangping shook his head.
No matter how hard he tried or how much he tried to please her, Zhong Xiaoai always kept him at arm's length and maintained her distance.
"I remember you started pursuing her when you were a senior in college, right? That's been almost six years."
Qi Tongwei said.
Hou Liangping was very persistent and unwavering in his pursuit of Zhong Xiaoai.
Unfortunately, he knelt down before Liang Lu, confessing his love and proposing to that older woman who already had a fiancé, which negatively impacted Zhong Xiaoai's impression of him.
Otherwise, after Hou Liangping became a drug enforcement hero, there was a high probability that he would catch up with Zhong Xiaoai.
After all, they met again in Xichun County after three and a half years, which shows that they were still very much destined to be together.
"Yes, it will be six years in a few months."
Hou Liangping said.
He now deeply regrets kneeling down to say goodbye and propose to Liang Lu on the playground of Handong University two years ago.
If it weren't for this incident, Zhong Xiaoai would have accepted him long ago, and he would now be Zhong Xiaoai's husband and the Zhong family's son-in-law.
In that case, the police chief would not be Shen Linchuan, but him.
"Liangping, I don't think it's necessary to put all your eggs in one basket."
If we can't win Zhong Xiaoai's heart, so be it; after all, the gap between our family backgrounds and hers is too big.
You're now the executive deputy director of the Public Security Bureau; in a couple of years, you'll be the director.
The future is not bad.
If you persist in pursuing her, even if she accepts you, the Zhong family probably won't agree!
As for why, you should know even if I don't explain.
Qi Tongwei advised Hou Liangping to give up on Zhong Xiaoai, as he had almost no chance of becoming Zhong's son-in-law.
The Zhong family would never allow someone who had knelt before a middle-aged woman of questionable character to become their son-in-law.
Moreover, the other party is already engaged and has a fiancé.
"Senior, I can't bear to part with you!"
I've been pursuing Xiao Ai for so many years, I really can't bear to give up!
Hou Liangping said he didn't want to give up.
Otherwise, wouldn't all his years of persistence and hard work have been in vain?
"Your persistence doesn't guarantee a result."
I think it might be better for you to find a girl here and get married. With your status, it would be very easy for you to find a girl here and get married.
Nobody here knows about your experiences in Handong, so it won't have any impact on you!
The Zhong family may not care about social status, but they certainly require someone with no blemishes on their record.
Qi Tongwei said.
In the TV series, the Zhong family did not insist on a marriage between equals; otherwise, Hou Liangping would never have become the Zhong family's son-in-law.
However, the Zhong family would not want a son-in-law who is weak-willed, opportunistic, and of poor character and temperament.
This is a huge stain on their reputation.
Families like theirs are more likely to consider character and past transgressions.
"But I really can't let go of Xiao Ai!"
Hou Liangping said painfully.
"I'm just giving you a suggestion; the choice is yours."
Regarding your previous punishment, I had no choice. You went too far, threatening to jump off buildings at the drop of a hat, even in the county committee dormitory.
The impact was enormous.
If the Zhong family finds out you pulled that stunt without explanation, we'll both be in trouble.
This is also why I later had to involve Zhong Xiaoai in the Textile City project.
Qi Tongwei explained to Hou Liangping the previous punishment he had given him, so that Hou Liangping wouldn't hold a grudge.
Of course, Qi Tongwei was not afraid of Hou Liangping holding a grudge.
The main concern was that Hou Liangping might falter at a crucial moment, or even sabotage things behind the scenes.
After all, Hou Liangping bears his own unique label.
If Hou Liangping acts recklessly under his name, it will be troublesome.
He helped Hou Liangping back then simply to better establish his own position and to let people know that he was not a cold-blooded person.
If Hou Liangping can recognize reality and work diligently under his guidance, he wouldn't mind promoting him all the way up.
If Hou Liangping still insists on currying favor with the Zhong family, then Qi Tongwei will no longer interfere with him.
He doesn't need to train talent for others.
As for involving Zhong Xiaoai in the textile city project later, it was mainly to leverage her background to expedite project recommendations and resolve any issues that arose during the process.
It wasn't simply about giving her good grades in exchange for the Zhong family's forgiveness.
He prepared for the leadership exam on his own, completely unafraid of the Zhong family.
I said this to Hou Liangping so that he would know that I had paid a great price for him.
"Okay, senior! I understand."
Hou Liangping said.
He was naturally angry, after all, the punishment would hinder his career advancement.
But Qi Tongwei's explanation made him feel a little better.
After all, it was Qi Tongwei who pulled him out of the mud.
Moreover, Qi Tongwei really can't afford to offend the Zhong family.
After all, the strongest person behind Qi Tongwei was only Fan Shichang, the governor of Hunan Province.
"Let's call home to let them know, so your uncle and aunt won't worry!"
Qi Tongwei said.
Hou Liangping's parents may not know, after all, they have become virtually unknown.
"Okay, senior!"
Hou Liangping nodded.
If Chen Hai hadn't told him to tell Qi Tongwei right away, he would have called home immediately to tell them.
"Teacher Gao, I heard from Chen Hai that Secretary Liang has been transferred?"
After Hou Liangping left, Qi Tongwei called Gao Yuliang.
In this struggle, Gao Yuliang was also implicated, his powerful backer was demoted to a lower position and transferred elsewhere.
In the TV series, with Liang Qunfeng's support, Gao Yuliang became the Party Secretary of Lüzhou City.
He then joined Zhao Lichun's faction in order to be promoted to vice minister.
At that time, Liang Qunfeng had been retired for a long time and was no longer able to help Gao Yuliang get promoted to vice-ministerial level.
Liang Qunfeng has already retired to a different location, and he will serve for another two years before retiring.
Gao Yuliang may be sitting in the position of Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of Yantai for a long time.
He might not even be able to hold onto his position as secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of Yantai.
After all, there must be quite a few people eyeing his position.
Although Yantai has not yet become a county with a GDP of 10 billion yuan, it is developing rapidly. All counties and districts in the city are developing, and its comprehensive strength is second only to Jingzhou.
The development of Lüzhou is mainly driven by Jinshan, a county-level city with a GDP of over 10 billion yuan; the development of other counties and districts is actually very slow.
Unlike Yantai, which began to develop comprehensively under the leadership of Zeng Yishan and Xu Jun.
Moreover, Yantai is also striving to become a county with a GDP of 10 billion yuan, and its future development will only be better than that of Lüzhou.
"Yes, Secretary Liang has been transferred to the grasslands to serve as the vice chairman of the consultation council."
Not only Secretary Liang, but Teacher Liang has also been transferred to the Tibetan Plateau!
Gao Yuliang said.
He felt very unlucky; his powerful backer was suddenly demoted when his career was at its peak, and his future path would be difficult.
Are you alright here?
Qi Tongwei asked with concern.
"I'm fine, how are you doing?"
Gao Yuliang said.
The Liang family is in trouble, and Qi Tongwei must be very happy.
After all, the Liang family was a knot in Qi Tongwei's heart.
But he couldn't blame Qi Tongwei, since the injustices Qi Tongwei suffered in the past were caused by the Liang family.
“I’m doing alright. Last month, our county’s Party Secretary was dealt with by the city for corruption, and I took over his position.”
Qi Tongwei explained his situation.
"Congratulations, Tongwei, on becoming the county party secretary! You'll catch up with me soon!"
Gao Yuliang said sincerely.
Of all his students, Qi Tongwei is currently the one who is climbing the fastest.
With Qi Tongwei's abilities, he could be promoted to deputy director-general level in two years.
"Thank you, Professor Gao. You can get closer to Mayor Lei and cooperate with him more."
He's my former boss, and he won't refuse out of respect for me.
"At the provincial level, you can report to Governor Zeng and Minister Xu in a while; I'll put in a good word for you."
Qi Tongwei said.
He still wanted to help Gao Yuliang, after all, he was his teacher.
However, it wouldn't be appropriate for Gao Yuliang to seek refuge with someone else right after Liang Qunfeng's demotion; he should wait a while.
"Okay, thank you, Tongwei!"
Gao Yuliang said with satisfaction.
Qi Tongwei did not group him with the Liang family because he wanted to use his connections to help himself.
