Chapter 261 Confession
Chapter 261 Confession
I thought I had touched the heavens.
It turns out that the Heavenly Palace made me think I had touched it.
"I still find it hard to accept. I thought I had tried my best."
"Honey, as I said, you're amazing. We only did observation; we weren't involved. Everything you have now is the result of your own hard work, and it has had a huge impact on me."
"You don't need to comfort me, I can handle a blow."
"I'm serious. There aren't many Grand Secretaries left in the academic school, and my mentor only has seven disciples. I'm the seventh. Although I have the least background, I'm also the weakest. To move up, I need to leverage connections and have someone protect me. Who to turn to? Who to use? Every time I leverage connections, I have to put a label on myself, and gradually, I'll lose sight of my mentor's original intentions. His six disciples all have their own resources, with complex families and conglomerates. Every move they make affects the interests of all parties, which doesn't align with the principles of the academic school. No matter whose resources I ultimately rely on, their limit is my limit. That's why I delayed graduation; my mentor was paving the way for me. But now it's different. With you here and the Wang family's resources, my limit can be raised even higher. You have to understand that time is the core variable in a political career. If I can persuade the Wang family, I can graduate early and step onto the stage."
"Is the road ahead easy?"
"It's not an easy path. Just like a company that grows strong will inevitably be targeted. The pie is only so big, and the market you encroach on will always be the foundation upon which others rely for survival. Even if you retreat to your rural hometown, there will still be grudges over your small plot of land. Just as I want to move upwards, the further I go, the fewer limited positions there are, so I have to fight for them and grab them."
Wang Yan is right...
I've never paid attention to this aspect because I'm so familiar with Lingling.
When a woman is ambitious
Men can truly be captivated.
That day, I talked a lot with Dongling, and many of my doubts were resolved.
Knowing that she could graduate early next year,
I'm not in such a hurry anymore.
The Central Selection Program (referred to as "Central Selection") is a special program organized by the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee to select outstanding recent graduates from specific top universities. It serves as a reserve talent pool for leading cadres of the CPC Central Committee and is known as the "national reserve cadre" channel.
Here, it is still necessary to distinguish them from targeted selection of civil servants.
The targeted selection of graduates is a "local elite class" led by the organization departments of each province. It is open and transparent, offers diverse choices, and is more friendly to local development.
After being selected by the central government, graduates will first work in the ministry for one year (probationary period). If they pass the probationary period, they will be assigned to grassroots positions in the central and western regions for two years (as deputy heads of townships, first secretaries of villages, etc.). After the training period, they will 100% return to their original ministry.
After being selected for the targeted recruitment program, graduates typically spend 1-2 years training at the grassroots level (townships, villages, or subdistricts). After completing this training, they can choose to return to their original provincial or municipal government agencies or stay at the grassroots level for promotion based on their performance.
I kind of regret asking so clearly.
The truth is despairing.
Soaking in a warm milk bath, holding the most outstanding woman in my arms, knowing where the road ahead lies, I suddenly don't know what to do.
Lingling noticed my melancholy.
The woman gently pulled my head into her arms.
She knows how to comfort people.
Neither of us spoke at that moment.
The remarks made today had a great impact on me.
"Ding. Ding. Ding."
The silence was broken by a video call on WeChat.
It's Zhao Xing.
Lingling immediately opened the video.
Where is the person in the video?
"Taking a shower, are you done?"
"yes."
"Come on over for dinner. We can have some drinks to celebrate tonight."
"We've arrived at the door."
The sound of Zhao Xing unlocking the password can already be heard in the video.
Lingling hurriedly hung up the phone.
"Hurry up and change your clothes, Xingxing is coming in."
The beautiful woman before him emerged from her bath; he hurriedly dried himself and left.
I then slowly stood up.
He casually wrapped a bath towel around his neck and walked out of the bathroom.
Lingling was already dressed in her pajamas and chatting and laughing with Zhao Xing in the living room.
"Wow... Tian Ge's abs are so cool!"
I glanced down at my ever-growing belly: "Can you give me something more substantial?"
"Your skin is so good, just like Lingling's, it's enviable."
Well, this is thanks to the effects of health supplements.
"Want to be like us?"
"certainly."
"We'll see how you perform tonight."
"How about we share a big blanket and sleep together?"
silence....
I'm afraid to say anything carelessly now. Ever since I found out that my past was laid bare in front of Lingling, I feel like anything I say will be misunderstood.
"If you're willing, I have no objection."
Linglingyi's outrageous remarks left Zhao Xing, who was always quick to speak, speechless, his face turning bright red.
Finally, the response came: "You two are ganging up on people."
"Ha ha."
"It's my treat today, Xingxing, you order."
"I forgot to ask you guys, what's the good news? You've just arrived and you're already celebrating?"
Lingling and I exchanged a glance. After sharing our innermost thoughts, we, as a married couple, felt even more in sync. Suppressing a laugh, we looked at Zhao Xing and asked, "Guess?"
The two spoke in unison.
Zhao Xing got even angrier: "Hey, if you keep playing like this, I'm going home!"
"Hehe, it's a secret, but it's okay to tell you."
Dong Ling told Zhao Xing about graduating two years early, and Zhao Xing was even happier: "Then I'll apply to graduate next year too."
"Star, have you made up your mind?"
"Lingling, I have always been your staunch supporter!"
"My dear sister, just because of that statement, if you don't find a suitable candidate in the future, I'll lend you my husband!"
Words that are utterly offensive!
"Should we notify Zhongqing and Ningning?"
"Don't notify them yet. After all, they have special identities, and knowing too early will only disrupt the plan."
"What other plans do you have? Just say them all at once. Don't make me guess all the time. Dealing with people like you is exhausting."
"Now, there are opportunists in academia and scoundrels in pragmatism. I intend to take this opportunity to see who the scoundrels are and who the opportunists are."
"Will this have any impact?"
"I'll just be the trigger; my teacher will be the one to actually take action. Consider it clearing obstacles for me. The more leverage we have, the less resistance we'll face."
"We need to celebrate properly and drink!"
The food tonight is very plentiful.
Zhao Xing's motives weren't pure. Whether he was genuinely happy or deliberately getting Lingling drunk, he clinked glasses with her many times.
"I can't take it anymore, I don't want to drink anymore."
"Brother Tian, come on, let's have some more drinks."
The girl was already slurring her words, but she still wanted to drink.
In the end, unable to hold his liquor, he was made drunk by me.
"Hey, are they both drunk?"
I felt helpless, but thankfully it was me.
First, I carried Lingling to the bed, and then I carried Zhao Xing. Suddenly, the girl opened her eyes and looked at me with affection in her eyes.
"You're not drunk?"
"Shhh."
Zhao Xing covered my mouth: "I've already made a pledge today. The Huo family supports Lingling. I said time will prove everything."
"Thanks."
"this one?"
The alcohol numbed his senses, and he kissed the pink lips in front of him.
The living room is very close to the bedroom.
It was just a kiss, but it felt like an eternity.
