Chapter 1028: I Will Give You a Special Gift

Su Yang was greatly shocked; in his understanding, Fang Jingwen was an absolute workaholic, and she had even once said she was a proponent of remaining single.

How could she suddenly want to talk about love and marriage? This is completely unlike the Fang Jingwen he knew. Could she have suffered some stimulus?

Seeing that Su Yang had not spoken for a long time, Fang Jingwen teased: "What? You're reluctant, feeling sorry for yourself? You men are all the same—eating from the bowl while eyeing the pot."

Upon hearing Fang Jingwen start again, Su Yang immediately said: "No, I'm not that kind of person; I sincerely wish you happiness and hope you will be happy in the future."

Fang Jingwen said: "Do you need to say that? I will always have someone by my side in the future, so I will definitely be happy."

Saying this, her tone changed, and she continued: "Within the System, there is scheming and deceit, outwardly harmonious but actually full of hidden storms."

"Although you are capable and decisive, now that you have become someone else's son-in-law, you also have some background."

"In your work, you always wanted to do practical things for the common people wherever you went, which is good. But you must never underestimate the wickedness of human hearts; when some people are truly desperate, they won't care who you are or whose relative you are."

"Especially you, your heart is still inclined toward kindness, lacking that ruthless streak; this will sooner or later lead to you being stabbed in the back. If I were still within the System, I would know something about big and small matters and might give you a heads-up, but if I leave, I'm afraid no one will look after these things for you. You must be more careful and prudent yourself."

After saying that, she hung up directly, giving Su Yang no chance to express thanks.

Su Yang felt his head buzzing, thinking: What's going on? Suddenly she became like an ordinary woman, deeply tender. Besides, you said you were going to date and get married, yet you still worry about my affairs—this doesn't make sense.

After thinking, he still sent Fang Jingwen a text message: "Wishing you happiness."

I thought Fang Jingwen would surely not reply, but just as I put my phone back in my pocket, I saw her reply: "I must be happy; when the time comes, I will give you a special gift, hahahahaha."

Well, this is back to her normal self, so I can relax. Su Yang thought so and put his phone back in his pocket.

However, he still didn't understand: with Fang Jingwen's exceptional conditions, being promoted to vice-department level within two years is a certainty, and women in the System have unique advantages; moreover, Fang Jingwen is indeed exceptionally capable. As for higher positions, it's hard to say, but entering the provincial-ministerial level team is almost guaranteed.

I don't know how many people are scrambling to climb up, even fighting over a deputy section chief position, willing to sell their souls and bodies, and fearing they won't sell thoroughly enough to gain trust and promotion.

Yet Fang Jingwen said she would let go, and she isn't greedy for power at all—this is truly beyond ordinary comprehension.

Moreover, no one else could do this; take myself for example, not to mention that I am about to become the County Party Secretary, even this Vice County Magistrate, I am reluctant to let go.

After all, I feel I can still do some practical things for the common people; it seems that under heaven, aside from me leading the common people to prosperity, others are just idling, purely officials for the sake of being officials.

For a moment, his thoughts churned, and he even briefly fell into confusion.

Far away in the Jincheng County Government office, after hanging up the phone, Fang Jingwen lazily leaned back in her wide chair.

She murmured: "Zhou Ruohan returned to Jingcheng after becoming pregnant, being waited on like a gorilla; I have already persisted for half a year—shouldn't I go back to rest? Well, besides, it's already summer, I can't wear thick clothes anymore, inevitably revealing something, which would be embarrassing."

After drinking some water and organizing her thoughts, she then called Old Fang comrade.

After the phone rang a few times, Old Fang comrade's kind voice came through: "Why are you calling me? Anything up?"

Fang Jingwen said: "Dad, I want to adjust my work. Since graduating from university, I have always been on the job; although I dare not say I have been diligent, I have never relaxed, and these years I feel exhausted."

"Besides, although my rank is not high, I am still considered a leading cadre locally; if I advance further, it would inevitably make people think you have given me too much favor, which is not good for your future progress. So I want to go into business, preferably returning to a company in Jingcheng, so I can also spend more time with you and Mom."

Old Fang comrade was taken aback, laughing: "When did you suddenly become so sensible? Regarding your work, I have never said a word; although they looked at my face, it actually doesn't count as improper promotion. Moreover, I reached this step step by step, so I don't worry about others saying anything or making a fuss."

"Your achievements today are due to your own abilities. Besides, I only have this one daughter; how could I hold you back?"

Saying this, he suddenly realized: "Did you encounter some difficulty at work? Since last New Year, I have felt you seemed off; if there is any problem, you can tell me, and as long as it's not a principled issue, I can help you solve it."

"Moreover, you are young and in your prime; why are you tired? If you are tired, shouldn't we people of this age be going home to rest?"

Fang Jingwen sighed: "Anyway, I can't explain it to you. Oh, let me put it this way: during the New Year holiday, I met a classmate who returned from overseas studies; he has been doing well these years, and he pursued me when we were in school."

"At that time I didn't have that mindset, plus I was young and didn't understand these things. Now my age is also here; if I delay a few more years, I will truly become an old maid, and you and Mom wouldn't want me to end up as a lifelong single, would you?"

"So I want to relax for these two years; at my age, I should get done what needs to be done, so I won't regret later, and also let you enjoy family happiness, right?"

Old Fang then reacted: excited, he still felt something was off: "Is he reliable? I don't insist on matching families or on how knowledgeable he is, but his character must be good. If you have time, bring him home so we can meet him."

Fang Jingwen said: "His character is certainly reliable; after all, he is my classmate, I would know. He is in business, often traveling domestically and abroad; whenever he has time, I also can't be sure."

"But no matter what, I will definitely let him meet you sooner or later. Alright, let's not talk about this; let's talk about my work issue—can you transfer me to Jingcheng? Preferably a company that needs to expand overseas markets, so I can also gain experience and take this opportunity to go out and see the world."
