276: Influenced by what one sees and hears

Seeing Lin Jiahua's curious expression, Zhang Chunhua spoke up before Lin Zifeng could answer, "Old Lin, didn't you remind me before? Don't ask what shouldn't be asked.

Our son is now the County Party Secretary, the top leader of our Yushu County. How can you ask such a question now?"

"I was just curious for a moment and couldn't help it. Zifeng, if it's not convenient for you to answer, then don't."

Lin Jiahua's embarrassment flashed across his face, and he quickly said with a smile.

"Mom, Dad, this isn't some top-secret matter. There's no harm in talking about it.

My main purpose for going to the Provincial Capital this time is just as My father guessed. With so many projects starting almost simultaneously, there's a certain funding gap. I want to go to the relevant provincial departments to try and resolve it.

And while I'm at it, I'll see Yuxi and Ningning."

Lin Zifeng said cheerfully.

"Brother, my little niece is so beautiful and cute. When I went to the Provincial Capital with my godparents last week and saw her, we were all a bit reluctant to come back.

When are you going to bring my sister-in-law and little niece back to live? If you do, I'll find time to help her take care of the baby."

Li Yuan asked with a look of anticipation.

Hearing Li Yuan's words, Mr. and Mrs. Lin Jiahua also looked at Lin Zifeng with great expectation.

Feeling the gaze of the three, Lin Zifeng knew his parents also hoped he would bring the mother and daughter back. If that happened, it would be much more convenient for them to see their granddaughter.

So he first put down his chopsticks, rubbed Li Yuan's hair, and said, "You don't need to take care of your little niece. Studying hard is the most important thing for you.

During this trip to the Provincial Capital, I'll ask for your sister-in-law and her family's opinion. As long as they agree, I'll bring her and the baby back.

When the time comes, I'll have the County Party Committee Office look for a good Nanny. Having a Nanny to take care of Ningning will be enough.

Having such staff at home doesn't exceed the standards for me; I just haven't used this privilege yet."

Hearing Lin Zifeng's answer, Mr. and Mrs. Lin Jiahua smiled silently, and Li Yuan said happily, "That's great, that's great! It looks like I'll be able to see my cute and beautiful little niece before long."

Lin Zifeng happily finished dinner with his family and chatted with his parents for nearly an hour before leaving as usual.

He didn't drive today, walking to get some exercise while heading toward the small home he shared with Chen Yuxi.

Thinking about what he said at the dinner table, he took out his phone and called Zhao Delin from the County Party Committee Office.

The call was answered quickly. "Secretary, what are your instructions? Please tell me."

"Director Zhao, you know my family situation. You've suggested many times that I have service staff take care of my family life, but I never accepted.

My daughter is now three months old. I'm going to bring them back to live here in a while. Please pick out a staff member for me who is politically reliable and has experience caring for infants!

The main task is to take care of my daughter."

Lin Zifeng didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly.

"Please rest assured, Secretary. I guarantee to complete the task with quality and quantity. While taking good care of your daughter, I'll also look after the lives of you and your wife.

Only when you don't have to worry about your family life can you devote yourself more efficiently to work. You are the backbone of our entire county, and your family life is also official business for our county."

Zhao Delin quickly promised.

"Then I'll have to trouble Director Zhao," Lin Zifeng said with satisfaction.

"It's no trouble at all, Secretary. It's what I should do."

Lin Zifeng then hung up and continued walking home.

Zhao Delin, who was sitting in the Living Room chatting with his wife, had instinctively stood up to answer when he received Lin Zifeng's call.

After Lin Zifeng hung up, Zhao Delin sat back down beside his wife.

His wife couldn't help but ask curiously, "Delin, it's so late at night. Why did Secretary Lin call you? Is there something important?"

"The Secretary's wife gave birth in a big hospital in the Provincial Capital. The child is now three months old. The Secretary plans to bring them back soon and asked me to look for a staff member with experience in infant care.

I've suggested many times before that we send staff to serve the Secretary's household, but the Secretary always rejected it.

Now that the Secretary has taken the initiative to mention it, I must find a perfectly suitable candidate for him.

The Secretary is so busy his feet barely touch the ground. Only if he has no worries about his family life can he focus more on his work.

As you know, our county is currently in the preparatory stages for several large projects. The Secretary has gone to the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government three times and secured 700 million yuan in special funds for Yushu County.

That's more than double the total amount all our County Party Standing Committee Members secured combined. Tomorrow, he's going to the relevant provincial departments to seek financial assistance.

We have an obligation and responsibility to handle the Secretary's logistics so he doesn't have a single worry."

Zhao Delin said solemnly.

"Serving at the Secretary's home is definitely a good gig. In the future, when the Secretary's child grows up, even if they leave the Secretary's home, the Secretary will arrange a good job for them.

Also, let me remind you, Delin, when you look for a suitable candidate for the Secretary, you also need to pay attention to one issue."

"What issue?" Zhao Delin asked curiously.

"Secretary Lin is so young. This candidate cannot be too young. Otherwise, rumors might spread about her and the Secretary, causing him trouble and gossip.

The Secretary's wife might also be dissatisfied because of it, and you would indirectly offend her.

But they shouldn't be too old either. If they're too old, there will be a serious generational gap in ideas and thoughts with the Secretary and his wife, and the way they care for the child won't be recognized by the couple.

So the age should be between thirty-five and forty."

Zhao Delin's Wife said thoughtfully.

"I didn't expect you to have such insight. Women really are more meticulous and thoughtful! Your reminder is very important to me."

Zhao Delin said with some surprise.

"Is it strange to have such insight after being influenced by what I see and hear around you every day? Isn't this also a result of your influence?"

Zhao Delin smiled and nodded, saying, "Wife, what you just mentioned is exactly what I missed. If you hadn't reminded me, it might have caused hidden trouble later. Thank you!"

"There's no need for thanks between husband and wife. If you really want to thank me, then fulfill your duties as a husband! You haven't paid your 'public grain' for almost half a month."

After saying this, she gave Zhao Delin a flirtatious look, took his hand, and walked toward the bedroom. A series of Zhao Delin's chuckles were left in the Living Room.
