NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1139
By mid-afternoon, Lu Yuqing hadn't returned to the Party School yet because she was really too exhausted, even walking felt a bit awkward!
She felt very sorry for Liu Zhizhong, but in his reassurance, she also found peace.
This man, she had not mistaken him, nor confided in the wrong person.
And Liu Zhizhong? By mid-afternoon, he was full of energy, driving to Qian Xuan's house.
It had been days since they last met, Brother Xuan seemed a bit more prosperous, physically much better, not as pale.
Perhaps, with Qian Xuan expecting a son, his energy was up, appetite increased, and he got healthier.
Luo Shuxiu had returned to her parental home, as there were important relatives visiting in the evening, she went back to accompany them.
As for Qian Xuan, since he was hosting Liu Zhizhong at home in the evening, he decided not to go to his in-laws' place.
This time seeing Qian Xuan, he seemed more normal, not neurotic, with a graceful demeanor.
Though sitting in a wheelchair, his demeanor was quite detached.
The exquisite superior fabric, beautiful tailoring, made the young master of the Qian Family truly seem out of the ordinary.
His electric wheelchair was slowly moving through the estate, Liu Zhizhong still habitually pushed it, but actually just needed to hold the backrest from behind.
Qian Xuan said indifferently, "Brother Zhizhong, your new appointment this time is indeed extraordinary!"
Liu Zhizhong was already very calm, his whole perspective had expanded.
"Oh? Brother Xuan, how do you mean extraordinary?"
"With your connections and influence, to be officially promoted but actually demoted, banished to a remote area, this is already unusual. Furthermore, the organization didn't even consider that your wife is in a vegetative state and needs your companionship. This is what I don't understand."
"The organization... Brother Xuan also knows, sometimes it doesn't care about personal feelings, it only talks about selfless dedication. Perhaps, for a young official like me, it's still a time to dedicate myself, haha..."
Qian Xuan smiled knowingly and said, "Yeah, nearly a million ethnic minorities in Shanan County are waiting for a County Magistrate like you to nurture them, right? These people, the poorer they are, the more they can reproduce, the more they reproduce, the poorer they get. Relying on national subsidies and preferential policies, alas... in every way the Han people suffer losses, generating the most wealth value, contributing the most tax revenue, raising themselves and others, haha..."
Liu Zhizhong nodded, "National unity, the national policy is like this, there's no other way."
Qian Xuan shook his head, "It's not that there's no way, it's just that there's no desire to do something about it. Let's not talk about this, your journey as Shanan County Magistrate won't be smooth, you need to be extra careful."
"Thank you, Brother Xuan, for the reminder, I will keep it in mind, I can handle it. In the future, I'll certainly need Brother Xuan's support."
"No, no, no..." Qian Xuan waved his hand, then waved it again, "Don't say that, we are powerful people locally, not afraid of anyone in the Han people's world. But when it comes to the ethnic minorities, we have to weigh them carefully..."
Liu Zhizhong was somewhat speechless, but he understood... the policies were there! In the past, when Han people had a second or third child, they were penalized heavily; when ethnic minorities had children, alas...
Qian Xuan said, "I also don't get it, why the smiling tiger wants to send you to that godforsaken place in Shanan. What is his real intention?"
Liu Zhizhong frowned, "Brother Xuan, are you saying this arrangement is actually his idea?"
"Isn't it? Haven't you asked him?"
