Chapter 613: Arranging Li Jia

I smile,

"Xixi, I've thought about it, it's better to let you stay in Xue County."

"Really, can you go with me to Niushiling?"

"Don't forget, what I just said, to let you stay in Xue County,"

"Not only as a secretary, but also to research Ancient Xue culture."

"Li Jia, you must make good use of Xixi,"

"Extract all of her potential."

"Xixi, this matter is very important; even in the next step, your father Wang Changguang will also come to help you."

"The cultural matters, we must definitely uncover."

Xixi can only nod.

"Uncle, then I can only follow you, but I..."

I quickly waved my hand, before Xixi could say it.

How could such a thing be said in a setting like this.

"You don't need to worry about anything; you used to be a teacher, now you work as a secretary, it's not a career change, trust yourself."

"Xixi, just be assured to work with Bureau Chief Li Jia. I will fully support your Cultural Tourism Bureau's research on Ancient Xue Kingdom's culture," Cui Chengshan said at this moment.

"Xixi, you don't need to worry about anything. Where are you living now?" Li Jia asked concernedly.

"I used to live in the school of Xi Nan Lian Xiao, and now I have nowhere to stay in Xue County," Xixi said.

"That's easy, stay at our county's guesthouse.

We have rooms specifically for county staff, including meals and lodging," Cui Chengshan said.

I nodded, Xixi's meals and lodging were no longer a problem.

I looked at Li Jia, suddenly feeling that this woman is highly capable, a person who gets things done,

Some matters can be entrusted.

I thought of Xixi's pregnancy, this matter needs to be dealt with quickly.

Of course, I cannot say this, and Xixi wouldn't listen to me.

I will have a third party speak, and a woman to persuade is most appropriate.

Sometimes one must trust one's own feeling,

I feel this woman is suitable, so let her handle it.

I glanced at the time then,

"The wine is endless, the conversation endless, it's getting late, I've finished my suggestions; how Xue County develops from now on depends on Cui Xian.

We drained the wine in our cups.

"I'm glad we spent a pleasant evening," I said, holding my wine glass.

Li Jia and Cui Chengshan also raised their glasses and clinked them with mine,

Everyone drank in one gulp.

We stood up and left the table.

Cui Chengshan and Li Jia wanted to escort me and Xixi back to the room,

I didn't agree; I let Xixi go back to the room first.

I signaled Cui Chengshan and Li Jia to pause in the hotel.

Then I walked up to them,

"Cui Xian, I have some words to arrange for Bureau Chief Li Jia. Is that convenient?"

"Convenient, very convenient. Mr. Zhao sees your politeness. Whatever you say, just issue the order," Cui Chengshan said with a smile.

I said to Li Jia: "Bureau Chief Li, let's go to the tea lounge over there for a cup of tea. Cui Xian, you wait in the car first."

Cui Chengshan shook my hand, then returned to the car.

Li Jia and I arrived at the hotel's tea lounge, and the waiter quickly brought two cups of tea,

"I wonder what arrangements Mr. Zhao has; is it that you want me to persuade Cui Chengshan to promptly agree with the matter you proposed?" Li Jia asked.

I shook my head,

"Bureau Chief Li, that matter, I only suggested it; moreover, it's good for Cui Chengshan. If Xue County develops well, can he not be promoted?"

Whether he does it or not doesn't affect my interests.

Do you understand my meaning,

I specifically came to discuss Xixi's matter with you."

"Regarding Xixi's matter, are you not confident about Xixi working with me?" Li Jia asked.

"No, I believe you are a capable woman,

It's just that in this small place there's hardly any chance to showcase yourself; give you a big stage, I believe you'll dance even higher," I said, looking at Li Jia.

"Thanks to Mr. Zhao's praise, I'm just a woman from an ordinary family,

By chance I was hired as the bureau chief of Xue County's Cultural Tourism Bureau; speaking of ability,

I really don't have much, thank you for Mr. Zhao's attention," Li Jia said, a bit embarrassed.

The woman looks even more beautiful after drinking.

Indeed, Li Jia's skin was already fair, and she looked like a foreigner,

With the veil of alcohol, her fair skin turned rosy and looked even better.

I like looking at beautiful women; beautiful women are like a painting, they are born

I am not desecrating women.

A mature man should know how to appreciate a woman's beauty,

and respect her beauty.

He doesn't have to have those lewd thoughts, like Shi Yong or Hou Laoban.

Our lives should be filled with goodness.

I light a cigarette,

"Chief Li, regarding what we discussed today, can you keep it confidential? If you can, we can continue; if not, we have no business talking further, because it concerns a girl's reputation."

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, I can absolutely keep it confidential.

Tell me what you need, assign me anything," Li Jia said, staring off into space.

"Regarding Xixi, I've watched this child grow up; she's also my most beloved niece.

She has a bit of a troublesome matter.

This is something only you can handle.

From my first impression,

I believed you could help me.

Sometimes I trust my own intuition."

"Haha, Mr. Zhao, sometimes your intuition can be wrong," Li Jia said, covering her mouth with a light laugh.

I shook my head,

"I can't be wrong; if I misjudge someone, the former chairman would have been in vain.

As for Xixi, she's pregnant."

"Pregnant."

"Yes, but I don't want her to have this child. Yet she is resolute in wanting it. I can't persuade her. So I took her out of school and prevented her from continuing as a teacher."

You should know, she became pregnant out of wedlock, and the child's father is not here in our area.

It's possible that after giving birth, Xixi will raise the child alone; as a woman, you should understand how hard it is to raise a child single‑handedly.

Being pregnant out of wedlock and without the child's father, Xixi must understand the enormous societal pressure.

Moreover, the child's future path will also face great difficulties.

As Xixi's uncle,

I am her elder, aware of how hard the road ahead will be.

But Xixi is rather naive; she sees it as the fruit of her love and wants to keep it.

I cannot accept that.

Yet I cannot persuade Xixi.

Chief Li, I think it's better if you talk to her from a woman's perspective.

Xixi will work with you later. Because she'll have more contact with you, and you're an outsider, the issues you discuss she will be able to take to heart.

Once she internalizes it, she can handle all resolutions herself. That would settle everything.

I finished speaking, looking at Li Jia,

Li Jia didn't speak immediately,

she lifted her teacup and took a sip,

and said slowly, "Being a woman is difficult; being a single mother is even harder. I understand Mr. Zhao's sincere concern.

You are an elder,

and of course you don't want your niece to go down this path,

but your persuasion is ineffective; Xixi won't listen to you, she is still immersed in a past love,

believing love is precious, love is worth giving,

and love is something to be commemorated.

Some love is like that,

while other love is just a fool's fantasy.

Or perhaps it's a second‑rate notion; some women often act foolishly, make mistakes,

paying for them for a lifetime.

Since Mr. Zhao trusts me,

that is the eye affinity between us,

I have an undeniable responsibility in this matter. Rest assured, Mr. Zhao, I know what to do.

Everything will be done silently.

Hearing Li Jia say that,

I nodded with satisfaction,

then stood up,

and extended my hand proactively,

"Chief Li, I've caused you trouble. Everything is now entrusted to you."
