Chapter 35: Encounter with Hou Liangping and Liang Lu

Qi Tongwei was lying on the lawn, looking up at Pei Qianqian who was sitting next to him, and he felt particularly happy.

"Tongwei, what is your ideal?" Pei Qianqian suddenly interrupted his reverie.

"I want to join the department!" Qi Tongwei almost blurted out.

"Progress? What kind of ideal is this?" Pei Qianqian asked doubtfully.

Qi Tongwei knew he had made a mistake and could only try to make amends, "To say that there is progress is a bit broad. Specifically, I hope that the country's economy will develop rapidly, there will be fewer poor villages like my hometown, and everyone can have enough food and go to school.

My ideal is to make due contributions with my meager strength.”

Pei Qianqian stared at Qi Tongwei, as if trying to confirm whether he really thought so.

Qi Tongwei really thought so. After his rebirth, he would never lack money in this life, and his only goal was to climb up.

And in the process of climbing up, you must never be corrupt like you did in your previous life. If you are corrupt, you will most likely not end up well given your status.

Even the son-in-law of the Pei family is the same. His father-in-law Pei Yihong is an upright person, so he cannot get past that test.

Therefore, he decided to use his merits to pave the way to success in this life.

The Pei family just needs to ensure that he is in a fair competition environment.

In fact, this requirement is not low, and the vast majority of people do not have a fair competition environment.

In real life, when promoting and appointing cadres, the first thing considered is background rather than anything else.

This was the case in the 90s when there was a shortage of talent. As long as you worked hard, it would not be a problem to at least get a department-level salary after retirement.

After 2010, social classes had basically solidified.

Not to mention the department-level treatment, it is even doubtful whether one can pass the exam and get in.

Even if you pass the exam, without any background, you'll be nothing more than a hardworking ox. Don't expect to be promoted.

Pei Qianqian didn't know that Qi Tongwei had thought so much in such a short time.

Qi Tongwei thought about it and decided to tell Pei Qianqian about the matter between Gao Xiaoqin and Gao Xiaofeng to prevent her from finding out. Telling her the truth now would actually win her favor.

"Is there really such a miserable place?" Pei Qianqian asked in disbelief.

"Well, there is more than one place like this. The development of our country is very unbalanced, and there are many places like this." Qi Tongwei explained in a low voice.

"Tongwei, I want to go see Xiaoqin and Xiaofeng this summer vacation."

Pei Qianqian was feeling a little low. As the little princess of the Pei family, although she was not as spoiled as Zhong Xiaoai, she had no worries about food and clothing. It was hard to imagine that there were still people who were not getting enough food to eat nowadays.

I can’t even imagine the scene of two 13-year-old girls going out to sea to fish!

Seeing that Pei Qianqian was in a low mood, Qi Tongwei quickly changed the subject, "Let's not talk about this anymore, shall we take action?" He raised his watch.

"Okay." Pei Qianqian rubbed her red eyes.

Qi Tongwei reluctantly sat up from the lawn and patted the weeds off his body. The two of them began to visit the retired old men in the park and ask about some events they didn't know about.

While the two were collecting folk songs, Hou Liangping and Liang Lu also came nearby for a date.

Ever since proposing to Liang Lu, Hou Liangping has put all his attention on Liang Lu, and even neglected his homework. Given Liang Qunfeng's status and position, no one dared to prevent his son-in-law from graduating.

Liang Lu was very comfortable being served by the little nanny. Someone carried her bag wherever she went, and even Hou Liangping helped her wash her feet. This made her almost forget about Qi Tongwei.

That is to say, she is always disturbed by what she cannot get, which is why she would think of Qi Tongwei in her dreams at midnight, otherwise she would have forgotten him long ago.

"Lulu, look, is that Qi Tongwei?" Hou Liangping found Qi Tongwei squatting on the ground chatting with someone, and next to him was Gao Fangfang's roommate.

He had met Pei Qianqian several times when he was dating Gao Fangfang. She came from an ordinary family, had ordinary looks, and had nothing good about her except her height.

Now that he found out that she was with Qi Tongwei, how could Hou Liangping miss the opportunity to ridicule his rival, especially after he proposed to Liang Lu.

Liang Lu naturally also discovered the two of them. She also knew Pei Qianqian, which was why she was angry. Qi Tongwei would rather have an ordinary woman than her, which was a contempt for her.

"Senior Qi, why don't you introduce the person next to you?" Hou Liangping interrupted the conversation between Qi Tongwei and the old man with a smile.

In fact, Qi Tongwei had already discovered the two people, but he just didn't want to pay attention to them. He didn't expect that the bitch was so pretentious and actually came to him on her own initiative.

"Pei Qianqian, my girlfriend, Qianqian, this is..."

"No need for introduction. I know Hou Liangping. He was Fangfang's boyfriend before, but later he found someone else." How could Pei Qianqian not understand what Hou Liangping meant.

Although she didn't mind being looked down upon, she couldn't ridicule Qi Tongwei. After a long time, she liked Qi Tongwei even more and didn't want anyone to belittle him because of her.

"Qianqian, don't talk nonsense, maybe they are really in love!" What's the difference between Qi Tongwei's words and speaking directly? He is just short of directly saying that Hou Liangping is a gigolo.

"Qi Tongwei, I didn't realize that you have such unique taste. I really don't know how Chen Yang fell in love with you." Liang Lu said. Her little puppy's attempt to ridicule Qi Tongwei failed, so she had to do it herself.

Everyone can hear Liang Lu's sarcasm, so how could Qi Tongwei not hear it?

"My taste is okay. Although Qianqian doesn't have a stunning appearance, her soul is clean and pure. Unlike some people, her soul is dirty and you can smell the odor of scum from a long distance away." It's okay to bully me, but it's absolutely not okay to insult Pei Qianqian.

"Qi Tongwei, who are you scolding?" Liang Lu pointed at Qi Tongwei's nose.

"I didn't curse you. If you take it personally, there's nothing I can do about it." Qi Tongwei said calmly.

She knew Liang Lu's character: she was willful and overbearing, but she would never curse at anyone.

"Senior Qi, I didn't expect you to learn to curse like a shrew." Hou Liangping shook his head and continued, "I was wrong. It's not that you learned to curse like a shrew, but that you already know how to curse. Rural people are like this, they have no quality."

Logically speaking, Hou Liangping is too shrewd to say such words. The main reason is that he failed in his pursuit of Zhong Xiaoai and was forced to propose to Liang Lu, who is a generation older than him. He also has to take good care of her every day, and his mood is already bad.

Since Qi Tongwei had offended Liang Lu and his career was doomed to fail, he spoke without restraint and said whatever he wanted.

Before Qi Tongwei could respond, an old lady next to him couldn't stand it anymore.

"I say, why are you like this, young man? What's wrong with the country people? The country people eat your rice. Without the country people, you can't even keep your shit warm." The old lady was furious and made Hou Liangping speechless.

"you……"

"What are you talking about? The couple was chatting with us peacefully, but you came up to cause trouble and didn't even allow them to talk back.

This is because the young man has a good temper. If it were me, I would have slapped you in the face a long time ago, what a piece of shit!" The old lady didn't even give Hou Liangping a chance to speak.

Liang Lu grew up in a family of officials. She didn't know how to curse, so she could only lower her head and act like an ostrich, hoping that the old lady wouldn't see her.

"And you, you don't even look in the mirror and still judge people by their appearance. How is that girl not better than you? She looks like she can even have grandchildren. Why are you still comparing yourself with her? Do you think you can win?" The old lady directed her firepower at Liang Lu again.

Qi Tongwei and Pei Qianqian were also dumbfounded and could only stand aside and watch the old lady perform.
