Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 779: Madam Diplomacy!

"Dad! Director Wu's wife is about to give birth to her second child. Director Wu is worried that his wife might have an accident during delivery, so he asked his wife to stay in the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital in advance. In order to take care of his wife, Director Wu stays in the hospital at night." When Deng Meijuan heard Deng's father asking about Wu Aiguo's wife's hospitalization, she immediately told her father everything she knew without waiting for Liu Guangqi to answer.

When Director Zhou heard what Deng Meijuan said, his eyes suddenly brightened!
Anci County is a county with many light industrial enterprises. For this reason, Director Zhou definitely holds a pivotal position in the political circles of Anci County.

As a result, after two trips to Kyoto City, Director Zhou suddenly realized that he, the head of the Light Industry Bureau who had a certain influence in Anci County, was not even a small shrimp in Kyoto City. Director Zhou almost began to doubt his life.

"If you haven't been to Kyoto City, you won't know how low your official position is!" The experience in Kyoto City suddenly reminded Director Zhou of what his superior in the county once said to him. It also made Director Zhou eager to meet some powerful cadres in Kyoto City. The news that Wu Aiguo's wife was in the hospital for delivery was undoubtedly a rare opportunity for Director Zhou.

With this thought in mind, Director Zhou immediately asked Liu Guangqi, "Xiao Liu! Do you know which ward of the People's Hospital Director Wu's lover is staying in?"

When Liu Guangqi heard Director Zhou asking about Liang Jing's ward number, he immediately guessed Director Zhou's purpose. Through what happened today, Liu Guangqi clearly realized Wu Aiguo's power. Liu Guangqi naturally did not want Wu Aiguo to have a bad impression of him because of Deng's father's work.

Facing Director Zhou's question, Liu Guangqi shook his head at first, then pretended to be confused and said, "Director Zhou! Sister Liang Jing is a surgeon at the People's Hospital. Brother Aiguo is worried that Sister Liang Jing will give birth suddenly when she returns home, so he asked Sister Liang Jing to stay in the hospital first. But I don't know which ward Sister Liang Jing is staying in. "

In order to divert everyone's attention, Liu Guangqi immediately changed the subject and asked Deng's father, "Dad! Take a look at which equipment your county needs to purchase first. Give me the list and I will try to ask Brother Aiguo to help you purchase a few more."

Except for Deng Meijuan, everyone else present was a smart person. When they saw Liu Guangqi changing the subject, they all understood his true thoughts.

For Director Zhou, he now knew the name of Wu Aiguo's wife. The People's Hospital was only so big, so they only had to go to the People's Hospital and ask around, and they would soon be able to find out which ward Wu Aiguo's wife was staying in.

At this time, Director Zhou did not dwell on Liu Guangqi's actions. He smiled and said to Deng's father, "Xiao Deng! Quickly list the equipment we need most and give it to Comrade Xiao Liu."

Although Deng's father was unhappy about Liu Guangtian's intentional concealment of Wu Aiguo's wife's ward number, he chose his son-in-law over his job, because he knew very well in his heart that if his son-in-law could get Wu Aiguo's help, he would definitely have the opportunity to become a powerful leading cadre in the future.

At this moment, Father Deng no longer bothered about this problem. He quickly took out a pen from his pocket and marked the several pieces of equipment needed by their county. Then he said to Liu Guangqi, "Guangqi! These are the equipment with ticks on them. They are all light industrial equipment that our county urgently needs. When you meet Director Wu, remember to put in a good word for us and ask Director Wu to help us purchase a few more."

After hearing what Deng's father had told him, Liu Guangqi took the purchase list from Deng's father, took a careful look at it, and said to Deng's father, Director Zhou and others with a smile, "Dad! Director Zhou! I'll do my best to get Brother Aiguo to help you buy a few more devices."

Father Deng saw that Liu Guangqi did not take on too many responsibilities in front of him and Director Zhou like other young people did. He was even more satisfied with Liu Guangqi as his son-in-law. He patted Liu Guangqi on the shoulder with a gentle expression and said to him in a very cordial tone: "Guangqi! Director Zhou and I are at the guesthouse, waiting for your good news."

Liu Guangqi saw Father Deng patting his shoulder in a friendly manner and felt the change in his father's attitude, which made him truly realize the importance of power. He was flattered and replied, "Dad! It's getting late. Meijuan and I will go back first. I will take a leave tomorrow morning and go to the Trade Department to find Brother Aiguo. After Brother Aiguo confirms, I will come to the guesthouse to find you."

After hearing what Liu Guangqi said, Father Deng nodded with satisfaction and reminded Liu Guangqi: "Guangqi! The visibility on the road is not good at night. When you ride your bike later, try to ride slowly!"

After saying goodbye to everyone present, Liu Guangqi and Deng Meijuan rode their bicycles towards the courtyard.

Through the communication just now, Deng Meijuan obviously discovered that Deng's father's attitude towards Liu Guangqi was no longer as rejecting as before. This made Deng Meijuan very happy. She leaned on Liu Guangqi's back and asked Liu Guangqi happily: "Guangqi! Have you noticed that my father's attitude towards you seems to have changed a lot." Liu Guangqi was naturally clear about the change in Deng's father's attitude, but he did not think that Deng's father had completely accepted him as a son-in-law. Instead, he felt that Deng's father changed his attitude towards him because of his relationship with Wu Aiguo. At the same time, it also made Liu Guangqi deeply realize the importance of power.

When Liu Guangqi heard what Deng Meijuan said and felt the softness on his back, he replied proudly while riding his bicycle: "Meijuan! Today I helped your dad solve a difficult problem. How can your dad not be grateful to me?"

If it was on a normal day, Liu Meijuan would definitely use her natural female skills to pinch the soft flesh on Liu Guangqi's waist when she saw Liu Guangqi say something like that. But today, Liu Meijuan did not do that. She hugged Liu Guangqi's waist tightly with her arms and asked him curiously, "Guangqi! Just now in the guesthouse, I clearly said that Liang Jing's wife was staying in the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital. Why did you deliberately change the subject when Director Zhou asked you?"

Liu Guangqi knew that Wu Aiguo was a director, and a director who was highly regarded by the leaders of Tsinghua University, but he did not know how much power Wu Aiguo held, so he did not deliberately approach Wu Aiguo in the yard on weekdays.

It was not until today's events that Liu Guangqi realized the value of the Trade Department. He made up his mind to find a way to get closer to Wu Aiguo and gain his recognition. As long as he could get Wu Aiguo's support, his future career would definitely be smooth sailing.

When Liu Guangqi heard the question raised by Deng Meijuan and thought about his true thoughts, he said to Deng Meijuan slowly, "Meijuan! Just now in the guesthouse, I believe you have witnessed the power of Brother Aiguo?"

"Brother Aiguo and I grew up together. If it weren't for your father's matter today, I wouldn't have asked Brother Aiguo for help. As for why I was reserved with Director Zhou and the others, it was for our future."

Deng Meijuan, who was born in a cadre family, was influenced by her elders since she was a child. Naturally, she was not the kind of girl with big breasts and no brains. When she heard what Liu Guangqi said, she immediately understood what Liu Guangqi was thinking. She said to Liu Guangqi with a look of regret: "Guangqi! If I had known this, I shouldn't have disclosed that Liang Jing's wife was hospitalized in the obstetrics and gynecology department."

When Liu Guangqi heard what Deng Meijuan said, he smiled and said to her, "Meijuan! Sister Liang Jing is a doctor in the hospital. If Director Zhou and his men want to find Sister Liang Jing, they will definitely go to the hospital to ask about her. This way, Brother Aiguo will not blame us."

"But what happened today still gave me a big shock. In the past, I only knew that Brother Aiguo had a place in Tsinghua University, but I never thought that Brother Aiguo would have so much power. We must have a good relationship with Brother Aiguo in the future. This will only benefit our future!"

Deng Meijuan and Liu Guangqi were classmates in technical secondary school. After graduation, Liu Guangqi was assigned to work in a street office under Chaoyang District, while Deng Meijuan was assigned to work in the Fisheries Bureau.

When Deng Meijuan heard Liu Guangqi's words and thought about their future, she agreed and said to Liu Guangqi, "Guangqi! You are right. Becoming neighbors with Brother Aiguo is God's blessing to us. As long as we can manage this relationship well and gain Brother Aiguo's recognition, I believe that our future will be bright."

Liu Guangqi heard Deng Meijuan's words and felt her inner longing. He smiled and asked Deng Meijuan, "Meijuan! Do you still want me to leave Jingyang City and move to Anci County with you?"

When Deng Meijuan heard what Liu Guangqi said, she instinctively reached out and pinched the soft flesh on Liu Guangqi's waist, and said in a coquettish tone: "Guangqi! My father forced you to transfer to my hometown mainly because our family is in Anci County and has a certain network of connections. If the two of us are transferred back, with the support of our family, it will definitely be much easier for us to make further progress in the future than for others."

"Now that we have the relationship with Brother Aiguo, as long as we work hard and get his approval, our future development space will definitely far exceed that of Anci County. Don't say that I disagree with your transfer to Anci County. I don't think my father would agree either."

When Liu Guangqi heard what Deng Meijuan said, he thought of the hardships they had experienced after they had just confirmed their relationship, and said to Deng Meijuan, "Meijuan! Sister Liang Jing will probably give birth in the next one or two days. After Sister Liang Jing gives birth, you can take a day or two off and go to the hospital to help take care of Sister Liang Jing."

Liu Guangqi didn't need to tell her about this matter. Deng Meijuan also wanted to do this. Influenced by her elders since she was a child, she clearly knew what the wife's diplomacy was. Facing Liu Guangqi's instructions, Deng Meijuan nodded and replied: "Guangqi! When you go back later, remember to tell our mother that as soon as Sister Liang Jing gives birth, let her inform us as soon as possible, so that I can take leave as soon as possible and go to the hospital to help take care of Sister Liang Jing!"
