257: Don't interfere with Zifeng's work.

Lin Zifeng and Wan Guoliang got out of the car separately. Seeing Chen Yuxi standing at the entrance, Lin Zifeng walked over quickly, took her arm first, and said with a smile, "Why did you come to the entrance to meet us? Secretary Guoliang is not an outsider."

Chen Yuxi quickly looked at Wan Guoliang and said, "Hello, Secretary Guoliang. Welcome to our home."

"Hello, sister-in-law! I'm sorry to trouble you to come out here to meet us. Looking at your condition, you'll be giving birth soon, right?" Wan Guoliang said with a beaming smile.

Chen Yuxi nodded and said, "Secretary Guoliang, you don't need to be so polite. Since it's your first time visiting our home, coming out to greet you is the most basic courtesy. My due date is still more than two months away; it's just that the fetus is growing large, which gives people the illusion that I'm about to give birth. Secretary Guoliang, let's not stand here talking. My father is already at home waiting for you and Zifeng to arrive, so let's go in quickly!"

Wan Guoliang agreed. Lin Zifeng walked her inside while gently stroking her belly, and asked again, "Wife, is the Little fellow behaving?"

"It's fine during the day, but at night it often kicks me; it's very restless." Chen Yuxi said gently, her pretty face filled with maternal radiance.

The three of them walked into the Chen family's courtyard while talking. Hearing the commotion, Chen Yuanhua pushed the door open and walked out.

Wan Guoliang hurriedly took a few quick steps, shook hands with Chen Yuanhua, and said respectfully, "Hello, Secretary Chen."

"We are at home, so there's no need to be so polite. Please, come in!" Chen Yuanhua greeted Wan Guoliang, and they all walked into the room together. Lin Zifeng took the gift from Wan Guoliang's hand and set it aside, while Wan Guoliang quickly greeted Li Jing.

They all sat down at the dining table. Being able to eat at the Chen family's home made Wan Guoliang very happy. With the hospitality of Chen Yuanhua and Lin Zifeng, Wan Guoliang also slowly let go of his restraint.

The three of them drank one bottle of White Liquor in total before stopping.

After lunch, Chen Yuanhua invited Wan Guoliang to the Study, while Lin Zifeng, Chen Yuxi, and her mother sat in the Living Room chatting.

"Zifeng, you have successfully succeeded as the County Party Secretary; this is a very good leap. You have served as town mayor, town party secretary, County Party Standing Committee Member, deputy secretary of the county party committee and county magistrate, and now you have successfully become the County Party Secretary. Having held every important grassroots position without missing any, this will be of great benefit to your future official career. This step is absolutely the most critical one. Mom is happy for you, but you must walk every step solidly!" Li Jing said with a happy face.

"Thank you, Mom. Please rest assured, I will continue to work steadily and well," Lin Zifeng quickly said.

"Mom, Zifeng is good in every way, but he is too obsessed with work. Sometimes I worry that he will ruin his health for the sake of work. You don't need to persuade Zifeng anymore; do you think he isn't enough of a workaholic yet?" Chen Yuxi said with a playful laugh.

"You girl! Zifeng is so young and has already become the County Party Secretary. If he doesn't take any detours in the future, his future achievements will surely surpass Your Father's. You cannot complain that Zifeng is a workaholic, influence Zifeng's work, and become a stumbling block to his bright future," Li Jing advised earnestly.

"Mom, I was just saying it casually. How could I become a stumbling block to Zifeng's growth and progress? You are worrying too much," Chen Yuxi quickly said.

"Mom, Yuxi is right. She supports my work. Otherwise, Yuxi has been pregnant for seven months, and I haven't been able to be by her side to take care of and accompany her. If it were anyone else, they would have thrown a tantrum long ago. As a husband, I haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as a husband. It's been hard on Yuxi, and it's also been hard on you and Yuqing for taking care of Yuxi for me," Lin Zifeng said with a face full of gratitude and guilt.

"Husband, you don't have to be like this. We are all one family. It was something we discussed together back then that I would return to the provincial capital to nurture the fetus. If I had stayed in Yushu County, you would have also made time to take care of and accompany me," Chen Yuxi said while reaching out to grab one of his hands, holding his hand with both of hers.

"Yuxi is right, Zifeng. Don't think too much. Just focus on your work with peace of mind. We will take good care of Yuxi and the baby," Li Jing also advised.

More than an hour later, Chen Yuanhua and Wan Guoliang walked downstairs together. Wan Guoliang said his goodbyes, and everyone saw Wan Guoliang out the door.

Lin Zifeng, as a representative, accompanied Chen Yuanhua to the main gate.

Chen Yuanhua's driver was already waiting outside. Lin Zifeng and Wan Guoliang shook hands and said goodbye again. Having achieved the purpose of his trip, Wan Guoliang left in the car, feeling satisfied.

Watching the car drive away, Lin Zifeng turned back.

Lin Zifeng returned to the Chen family's home and continued to sit in the Living Room chatting with the three members of the Chen family. Chen Yuanhua gave him some personal advice and imparted a lot of work experience to him.

Finally, he said, "Zifeng, regarding your appointment as County Party Secretary this time, that Vice Governor Liu Fushan made quite a few underhanded moves in secret. He secretly investigated you and knew about our relationship, so even though he wanted to deal with you, he only dared to make some small, underhanded moves in the dark, and even then, he only conveyed his meaning by hinting to Cadres who were close to him. I didn't step in to stop it because I couldn't grasp any evidence against him, but if he went too far, I could make him look good even without evidence. He is not only careful and cautious in his actions, but he also has a bottom line. However, after this matter ended, I also warned the other party in my own way. In the future, he won't target you again without a legitimate and reasonable excuse. This time, you relied on your own ability to not only perfectly avoid the schemes of those people but also successfully became the County Party Secretary. Your path in the future will be even smoother. This is truly worth celebrating!"

"Dad, no matter what, I have to thank you for this matter. If it weren't for your deterrence, I wouldn't have been able to withstand the blatant suppression from a Vice Governor. If that were the case, not only would I have been unable to become the County Party Secretary, but it would have been hard to say whether I could even keep my position as county magistrate," Lin Zifeng said with a smile.

"Hmph, that Liu Fushan's son is not a good thing; he is just a lawless beast. His father is also not a good thing, bullying the young with his seniority; he is truly shameless!" Chen Yuxi snorted and said, sticking up for Lin Zifeng.

"Yuxi is right. It is said that if a son is not taught, it is the father's fault. Liu Fushan's son is lawless and committed crimes, ending up in jail. As a father, he doesn't know how to reflect on himself, yet he has the nerve to suppress and bully Zifeng because of this? I think he is not a qualified Cadre either; there must be other problems," Li Jing said, siding with her Son-in-law and speaking with righteous indignation.

Hearing what the mother and daughter said, Chen Yuanhua said, "Some things can be said at home, but they cannot be said outside. After all, the other party is a vice-ministerial level Cadre. Without evidence, it is better to be cautious with your words."

The mother and daughter nodded respectively and said nothing more.
