Chapter 641: Teaching Li Jia
"Mr. Zhao, I want to tell you my story," Li Jia said, wiping her eyes with a tissue.
I nodded,
"Li Jia, we should chat like friends. Fine, go ahead, I'm listening."
"When I came from the northwest, I wasn't working at the Cultural Tourism Bureau. I originally worked at the guesthouse in Xue County.
It mainly hosted some leaders of Xue County.
I met and fell in love with Cui Chengshan at the guesthouse.
I truly loved him; for him, I divorced.
He also gave a lot for me.
Through his connections, I transferred into the Cultural Tourism Bureau.
Under his maneuvering, I was quickly promoted to Bureau Chief.
Of course, all of this was against regulations.
Later, something happened between me and Cui Chengshan.
Tian Shi arranged people to investigate us,
and they caught us all,
I was terrified then; I thought we were completely finished.
Later, hearing from Cui Chengshan, it was Mr. Zhao who stepped in and saved us.
Only then did I realize Zaocheng still has such powerful figures.
He could settle a matter as big as ours.
Soon after, I saw you. Mr. Zhao, I truly liked you at first sight.
You are especially approachable, with no airs at all.
Very manly.
I truly regret meeting you so late.
"Mr. Zhao, I'm speaking sincerely," Li Jia said, looking at me.
I smiled,
"Li Jia, thank you for the compliment. I don't have that much power.
Li Jia, today I also have one more thing that I must tell you.
It concerns your relationship with Cui Chengshan; you must cut it off."
"Must cut it off," Li Jia asked.
"Yes, to go farther, you must sever ties with Cui Chengshan, no matter how deep your feelings are," I said, looking at Li Jia.
Li Jia remained silent,
After a while she said, "Mr. Zhao, to be honest, my feelings for Cui Chengshan have already faded; I've actually wanted to leave him for a long time.
But I'm afraid of the Cui Family's power.
You should know that the Cui Family in Zaocheng dominates the city.
Without a new patron, I dare not leave Cui Chengshan.
Regarding Li Jia's excuse, I could only listen.
She just said she loved Cui Chengshan, yet now says she wants to leave him.
Actually I understand her thoughts.
Cui Chengshan has already been fully used,
In her life, Cui Chengshan can only give her such a limited stage.
She wants more, which Cui Chengshan cannot provide.
But she also fears retaliation from Cui Chengshan.
She is conflicted.
I looked at Li Jia and said, "Li Jia, Cui Chengshan is no longer an issue. You don't need to think of him; he has no intention toward you now."
"You mean Chengshan likes Yang Tao now," Li Jia asked.
"It's possible. Matters of the heart are hard to say. Actually, your new patron isn't with me," I said with a smile.
"Not with you. Mr. Zhao, I truly hope you can become my patron," Li Jia hurriedly said.
I shook my head,
"Li Jia, you must understand, as I said, you aim to develop on a bigger stage; you have ability, but lack opportunity.
Who can give you that opportunity? Weigh it carefully."
"Who, is it Tian Shi?" Li Jia asked.
I said nothing.
"Mr. Zhao, please make it clear," Li Jia pressed.
"Li Jia, Tian Shi has already given you something; he transferred you to work in the city.
He is now your patron. No need to say more.
Actually, you don't need to scheme against Tian Shi.
He still wants to move up; he doesn't want any problems in this regard," I said with a smile.
"So you mean Zhuang Shi," Li Jia said, looking at me.
"Smart. Yes, it's Zhuang Shi.
Now we must take Zhuang Shi, because Zhuang Shi is the key to our success.
You should know our goal is the tourism resources of Huaihai City.
Without Zhuang Shi's support, even if we invest heavily in Xue County, we cannot make money.
How many people does Zaocheng have? The entire city's population is only over three million.
Xin Cheng's population is not even twenty thousand,
Huaihai City's urban population had already exceeded one million over ten years ago.
Huaihai City is known as the northern region's first heavy industrial city.
Huaihai's steel and metallurgy are famous nationwide.
How vast are the tourism resources here.
As long as Zhuang Shi waves his arm, I believe the number of people coming to Zaocheng for tourism will be in the hundreds of thousands.
By then, our developed projects will surely bring in profits overflowing.
It has a tremendous driving effect on Xue County's economy.
Li Jia, you should know that Zhuang Shi now has a very good impression of Xue County.
His impression of you is the deepest; imagine when you are eating together, his expression when sitting with you.
An old man who basically cannot stand beautiful women.
Moreover, you are this kind of gorgeous beauty.
What I am telling you today is that you must continue to communicate and interact with Zhuang Shi.
Why does Tian Shi promote you to work in the city, presiding over the development of the city's tourism resources?
Ability is only one aspect; the other aspect is to attract Zhuang Shi's attention.
Li Jia, your task is very heavy."
After Li Jia heard me finish speaking, she involuntarily nodded,
then said,
"Mr. Zhao, thank you for pointing out a way.
Working here, one must have a backer; otherwise nothing can be done.
I am telling the truth, no one supports you,
even the best ideas and excellent projects are just empty talk.
I want to achieve something in Zaocheng,
developing tourism resources is for me a great opportunity; I once worked as a guide in the northwest.
I like traveling,
now Tian Shi values me so much, letting me oversee the city's tourism projects,
I know this responsibility is heavy.
Today you came specially and reminded me what the next step should be.
It suddenly enlightened me.
All right, from now on I know what to do,
I will find time to go to Huaihai City to revisit Zhuang Shi and strengthen our exchanges."
Li Jia looked at me and said.
"Yes, Li Jia, what I want to say is that only by letting go of yourself can you obtain what you want, or perhaps the stage.
Whenever you go, let me know.
Then I will drive to accompany you there." I said with a smile.
Li Jia also smiled,
"As for Xue County, I will leave it to Xixi from now on. Cui Chengshan, I have decided to cut ties with him completely."
"Cut it off. You should know that Cui Chengshan's work ability is just so-so; without his family's support, he might not even be able to hold this position.
It's better for you to break off early, because outside gossip is very unfavorable to you.
Regarding Cui Chengshan, you don't need to ask; everything is under my control.
In fact, he also wants you to go further, because he still wants to rely on you."
"Mr. Zhao, you are right. Cui Chengshan really is such a person.
Although he never said it outright, I can guess what he thinks in his heart.
Between us, there is no freshness anymore,
Yang Tao's arrival is just right."
"Love is just that; saying it beautifully is heart-to-heart communication, emotional elevation, but actually it's just that thing in bed.
After three months, even the most delicious food will become boring.
Li Jia, you understand some things; smart women do not just go to bed with any man.
Instead, they think of ways to whet that man's appetite, making him unable to have it yet always thinking about it.
Only then can you keep yourself beautiful forever.
Between men and women there are just two layers of clothing,
as long as you take off those two layers, nothing remains.
Everything becomes meaningless.
Li Jia, you should understand my meaning.
Between me and you it should also be like that,
Always keeping beauty is far better than breaking it."
