278: Chen Yuqing's plan

Before noon, the party of three led by Lin Zifeng arrived at the provincial capital. Lin Zifeng asked Li Qiang to drop him off at the entrance of the Residential Community where Chen Yuqing lived, then told them to go find a place to rest.

The two sisters knew Lin Zifeng was coming, so they prepared a table full of sumptuous dishes together and gave the two Nannies the day off.

Therefore, after Lin Zifeng rang the doorbell, Chen Yuxi opened the door very quickly and happily threw herself into his arms, clinging to him like an octopus.

"Honey, I haven't seen you in almost a month. I've missed you to death."

Chen Yuxi acted coquettishly in his arms.

Lin Zifeng closed the door behind him and, while carrying her into the Living Room, said, "I've missed you too, wifey. After I finish my business in the provincial capital, how about you and Ningning come back to Yushu County with me?"

Before Chen Yuxi could answer, Chen Haotian heard the commotion and walked out of the room. Seeing the state they were in, he made a face and said, "Auntie, you're really shameless. You're such a big person, yet you're still letting Maternal Aunts Husband hold you."

Chen Yuxi hurriedly jumped down from Lin Zifeng's arms, feeling embarrassed.

Lin Zifeng stepped forward a few steps, bent down, and picked up Chen Haotian.

"Haotian, have you missed me?"

"I've missed you, Maternal Aunts Husband. I've missed you for a long time—I miss you with my mouth, and I miss you in my heart."

The Little fellow said, pointing his small hands at his mouth and his chest respectively.

Lin Zifeng kissed Chen Haotian on the cheek and then said, "How about you take me to see your little sister?"

Seeing the Little fellow nod in agreement, Lin Zifeng put him down on the floor, took his small hand, and walked into the nursery.

At this moment, Chen Yuqing walked out of the Kitchen carrying a bowl of soup and asked Chen Yuxi, "I heard Zifeng's voice just now. Where is he, Yuxi?"

"He went to the room to see Ningning with Haotian."

Hearing Chen Yuxi's answer, Chen Yuqing placed the soup on the dining table, took off her floral apron, took Chen Yuxi's hand, and the two walked toward the nursery together.

After opening the door, they saw Lin Zifeng bending over, looking at the Little fellow sleeping soundly in the crib, his eyes filled with endless affection.

Chen Haotian held his large hand, standing obediently to the side. Hearing the slight sound of the door opening, Lin Zifeng straightened up and cast his gaze toward The two sisters.

The two sisters smiled sweetly at the same time, and Chen Yuqing said, "You're here, Zifeng. Lunch is already prepared. Let's go out to eat and let Ningning have a good sleep!"

Lin Zifeng nodded with a smile and led Chen Haotian toward the door.

The three adults and one child sat around the dining table and began to eat lunch.

"Zifeng, I heard from Yuxi that you came to the provincial capital this time on official business?"

Chen Yuqing asked while eating.

"I am indeed here on official business."

Subsequently, Lin Zifeng gave a rough overview of the current development situation in Yushu County.

Finally, he added, "There is still a funding gap of over two billion, and I came to the provincial capital to find ways to resolve some of the funding needs.

It would be best if we could resolve a portion of it; if not, our County Party Committee and County Government have also prepared to apply for loans from the bank."

"Oh, for a county, a one-time investment of 11 billion in infrastructure construction is definitely a major undertaking, and it will bring great changes to Yushu County.

Why didn't you think of asking Dad to help solve some of the funding issues?"

Chen Yuqing asked, surprised.

"Yeah, Zifeng, Dad isn't an outsider. Why are you asking others for help instead of asking Dad?"

Chen Yuxi asked, puzzled.

"I have thought about asking my father-in-law for help, but later I gave up on that idea.

Think about it, you two. I took the position of County Party Secretary at only twenty-eight years old. My age is my advantage, but it is also my greatest weakness.

I am the youngest County Party Secretary in the whole province, so I am already in the spotlight, and my father-in-law is the third-in-command of the Provincial Party Committee, holding a high and powerful position.

Even if my father-in-law doesn't help me, given my age and the position I hold, if others find out about my relationship with my father-in-law, it will cause a lot of speculation.

If I were to ask my father-in-law for help every time I encountered a work-related problem, once the public became aware of our relationship, many people would use it as fodder for criticism.

Who knows how many hidden opponents are watching me and my father-in-law in the dark! Therefore, unless it reaches a critical moment, I will not ask my father-in-law for help.

Otherwise, it might be detrimental to both me and my father-in-law in the future, so it is better to be cautious."

Facing The two sisters, Lin Zifeng did not hide his inner thoughts.

Hearing the thoughts expressed by Lin Zifeng, The two sisters nodded involuntarily. Chen Yuxi spoke again: "The officialdom is extremely complex; sometimes just hearing about it makes one feel tired.

If one problem isn't handled well, it will leave hidden dangers for the future."

"Those who can walk smoothly in their official career, besides having corresponding connections, which one of them isn't the sharpest of the sharp?

There are many people who will do anything to climb up; power makes people obsessed.

It is quite necessary for Zifeng to be so cautious in doing things; this is also a sign of political maturity."

Chen Yuqing nodded and said.

"Let's not talk about these things anymore. Yuxi, besides official business, I also want to take you and Ningning back with me this time.

I don't know what you think about this? If you agree, discuss it properly with Mom and Dad over the next few days. Once I finish my official business, I will take you back to Yushu County."

"Hmm, Ningning is already three months old. I should take her back to our own little home. Living apart like this isn't a long-term solution.

I will talk to Mom and Dad about this."

Chen Yuxi said very readily.

Hearing the couple's conversation, Chen Yuqing rolled her eyes and said, "Zifeng, Yuxi, after the summer vacation, which is in three months, Haotian will start kindergarten.

Haotian is quite clingy to you two, and he treasures Ningning too!

If Yuxi and Ningning leave with you, Haotian will definitely not be used to it."

"Then what should we do, sister? I also can't bear to part with Haotian, but Ningning and I can't keep staying here and living apart from Zifeng for a long time, right?"

Chen Yuxi said with a troubled look.

"I had long anticipated that this day would come, so I made some preparations in advance. I had the staff at the Yushu County office buy another apartment with the same layout downstairs from your place.

Everything has been prepared in advance, and it's ready to move in at any time.

When you leave, I will take Haotian and go to Yushu County with you, and then come back when Haotian starts kindergarten.

In the future, during winter and summer vacations and holidays, I can also take Haotian over there. This way, we can live upstairs and downstairs for a lot of time throughout the year, which is beneficial for Haotian's growth. What do you think?"

Chen Yuqing stated her plan. Before the two could speak, Chen Haotian spoke up first: "Auntie, Maternal Aunts Husband, I can't bear to part with you. Mom and I want to leave with you."
