In a corner booth of the coffee shop, Qin Shang sat numbly opposite Xia Yun. The woman before him was the most beautiful, the most charming, and the most flawless woman he had ever seen in his life, without exception. From their very first encounter, he had been hopelessly infatuated with this perfect goddess, but her resolute words just now had chilled Qin Shang to the bone.
Although Xia Yun is not yet thirty years old, her ability to read people and expressions has become superb after years in the business world. Qin Shang's expression and thoughts at this moment are too obvious, and it is easy to know how he feels.
Just as Qin Shang stared blankly at the cup in his hand, a complex emotion flashed in Xia Yun's eyes. She seemed to want to say something but hesitated, quickly suppressing the strange emotion. She raised the porcelain cup and said calmly, "Qin Shang, thank you so much for what happened in the valley today. I don't drink alcohol, so let me toast you with this coffee instead!"
It wasn't until Xia Yun called out twice more that Qin Shang turned around, wishing he could slap himself. Even if she had made it clear that she wasn't interested in him, shouldn't a man at least have some basic manners? To act so negatively at a moment like this was really unlike his usual self.
Suppressing his deep disappointment, Qin Shang cast aside the fleeting romantic thoughts in his heart, gradually calmed down, gave an awkward smile, and quickly raised his glass, saying, "I'm sorry, I was thinking about something else and lost my composure. That matter was just a small thing. As a police officer, it's my duty to help people solve their problems, so please don't take it to heart."
A hint of appreciation flashed in Xia Yun's eyes. She smiled faintly and said, "Alright, let's not bring this up again. Qin Shang, do you know why I asked you out alone?"
Qin Shang shook his head, inwardly smiling bitterly, thinking: You asked me out just to remind me not to try anything with you anymore, didn't you? But he said aloud, "I'm not quite sure, Miss Xia, please tell me?"
Xia Yun didn't reply directly. After a moment of contemplation, her beautiful eyes flickered, and she said in a low voice, "I heard that you'll soon be transferred to the position of director of the P Town Police Station, and that your superiors are intentionally testing you. I wonder what your plans or goals are for your future career?"
Qin Shang was slightly taken aback, not expecting Xia Yun to ask such a question. Since she had already clearly told him to give up on her, why bother with this? Qin Shang felt a lump in his throat and, unable to suppress his resentment, said calmly, "This is my own business. Does Miss Xia want to know?"
Xia Yun immediately sensed Qin Shang's emotions and, disregarding his sarcastic tone, calmly said, "After all, you're the man Ke Xin values most. We're friends, so showing concern isn't unreasonable, is it?"
The goddess's calm and magnanimous tone jolted Qin Shang back to reality. He'd actually acted like a child at a time like this, making himself a laughingstock. Qin Shang's handsome face flushed, but he finally calmed down completely and smiled, "Actually, I don't have many plans. Although my parents are officials in the municipal government, they've never thought of supporting me. Relying on my own efforts, without any connections, it's very difficult to climb the ranks. Now, even if I'm promoted to director and become a member of the town's standing committee, at best I'll only be a deputy section chief."
Xia Yun nodded and said, "Your current rank isn't important; what's important is whether you have the ambition to rise to the top."
Qin Shang didn't know the exact relationship between Xia Yun and Zeng Kexin, so he couldn't easily reveal the secrets he knew. He smiled bitterly and said, "What good is having the will? The officialdom is too complicated. Without a strong network of connections, it's difficult to get anything done, let alone achieve outstanding results. Even if you do achieve something, your superiors might steal the credit. If you're lucky, you might get promoted from deputy section chief to section chief, and if you're even luckier, you might only reach the level of division chief, which is already incredibly difficult."
Hearing this, Xia Yun frowned slightly, her expression extremely alluring, and said with dissatisfaction, "The county magistrate of your L County is only at the level of a full-fledged department head. You're so young now, you're practically at the level of a deputy section chief, is that all you aspire to? Others would at least want to be promoted three levels in a row, and you're satisfied with just two?"
Qin Shang glanced at Xia Yun with a puzzled look. At this moment, he no longer harbored any wicked thoughts. He simply couldn't understand why Xia Yun cared about these things, and what they had to do with her. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. Xia Yun really made it sound so simple. Did she really think that becoming a deputy section chief was so easy for a lowly civil servant? Without connections and luck, many people would remain nominally section-level cadres their entire lives, never even reaching the level of deputy section chief!
Qin Shang took a deep breath and sighed, "Miss Xia, this isn't a matter of ambition. Even if I'm not satisfied and want to climb higher, reality isn't ideal. In fact, you could struggle your whole life and still end up stuck in the same place. The officialdom today is not the same as it was decades ago..."
Xia Yun found it amusing. Did he think she was ignorant of officialdom? With her current position as president of Xiangyun Group, the largest conglomerate in H Province, who could achieve this without connections in the political arena? He was twenty-five or twenty-six years old; sometimes he was still a bit naive…
Fortunately, Xia Yun finally detected a hint of resentment in Qin Shang's words, as if he was subtly blaming his parents. This at least indicated that he still wanted to go further.
Xia Yun said calmly, "Just because you haven't eaten pork doesn't mean you haven't seen a pig walk. Qin Shang, just tell me clearly whether you intend to become someone of high status, let me understand your ambition. As for whether you can achieve it, that's another matter."
Qin Shang, in a fit of anger, immediately nodded and said, "If I don't want to climb the ladder, why would I get involved in this mess? Being just a lowly civil servant is far better than running my own business or being a self-employed individual, isn't it?"
Xia Yun smiled and nodded, saying, "That's what a man should say."
Qin Shang didn't think much of it. Seeing Xia Yun's relaxed expression, he vaguely felt that their relationship had grown closer. If she hadn't indirectly rejected him, his lingering feelings might have rekindled. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but jokingly ask, "What, you're so concerned about my career? Are you trying to sponsor me?"
After saying this, Qin Shang suddenly froze, only then remembering the other person's identity: the president of the largest private enterprise in H Province, with a net worth of over 10 billion. In a backward and remote mountainous county like L County, if someone really wanted to cultivate an official, anything was possible as long as they were willing to spend money. Qin Shang then recalled that some officials in the L County government who were already bureau chiefs had also risen to their positions through similar means.
Thinking about this, Qin Shang vaguely understood something. From the very beginning of this trip to the Miao village, he sensed that this tour wasn't just a simple sightseeing trip. Zeng Kexin's invitation to Wu Yuan and Xia Yun, these two beauties, to travel together must have some purpose. Add to that the sudden appearance of Yang Hongji and his wife, joining their group, and Xia Yun's relentless questioning…
Qin Shang suddenly became agitated, looking at Xia Yun with a nervous expression. He disregarded whether staring at the elegant woman like that was impolite, and said in a trembling voice, "You...you don't really want to sponsor me, do you?"
Xia Yun didn't respond directly, but instead smiled faintly: "Isn't it normal for officials and businessmen to have their interests intertwined? How many of the officials in your county don't have a few wealthy business partners secretly supporting them?"
Qin Shangqian chuckled, his heart pounding with excitement, and said, "It's quite normal, but I'm just a lowly police officer with no power or influence. Isn't it strange if someone supports me for no reason?"
Xia Yun elegantly sipped her coffee, waiting until Qin Shang was itching to get his hands on it before smiling and saying, "Don't underestimate yourself. If you didn't have any extraordinary talents, Mr. and Mrs. Yang Hongji wouldn't value you so much, would I?
Qin Shang chuckled inwardly. If he had to name his strengths, perhaps his only notable quality was his manhood? The Yang couple's high regard for him wasn't what Xia Yun suspected. Qin Shang didn't expose them, instead offering a modest smile and saying, "My relationship with President Yang and Director Zhou is indeed quite good; they've helped me a great deal."
Xia Yun nodded and said, "That's good. It shows you still have the ability to attract their attention. Qin Shang, do you want to become a truly superior person? Or at least someone who doesn't have to be subservient to others in the official and business circles of J City?"
In J City, do you think you can act without having to consider others' feelings? Qin Shang was shocked. He looked at the stunningly beautiful woman high above him in disbelief and said in a trembling voice, "You...you don't really want to help me, do you?"
Xia Yun calmly replied, "Yes, we do have that plan!"
Overwhelmed with excitement, Qin Shang calmed down and asked疑惑地问道, "Strictly speaking, we've only just met, so why are you helping me?"
A hint of distress and helplessness flashed in Xia Yun's eyes, but she quickly concealed it and said calmly, "You don't need to know the reason. Do you want me to help you or not?"
Qin Shang's heart skipped a beat. If this top businesswoman in H province was really willing to help him, the power she wielded would be immeasurable. Just thinking about it made him uneasy. Without hesitation, Qin Shang replied, "Only a fool wouldn't think of such a good thing."
Xia Yun said with satisfaction, "That's fine! However, there are conditions for me to help you get promoted!"
Qin Shang was taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "What are the conditions?"
Xia Yun said leisurely, "As long as you can enter the Standing Committee of P Town, and you personally accomplish ten tangible things that benefit the people, I will fully support your rapid rise in officialdom!"
