The Pinnacle of Power: Rapid Promotions Starting from the Old Cadre Bureau

Dawei originally wanted to join Zeng Juan in trying to persuade Fangfang.

But as soon as Fangfang said that, Dawei gave up the idea.

It seems there's more to the story.

Zeng Juan glared at the woman: "What kind of talk is that?"

I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice.

I was being fooled, but I couldn't tell. You, on the other hand, could.

Do you think your mother will harm you?

I wish I could give you the very best.

Why would you think that?

Qiao Fangfang tossed her head and looked to the side, speechless.

When you talk to her about things, she talks about feelings.

How can we communicate if we can't even stick to the facts?

"Dawei, take a look."

That's just his temper.

What am I supposed to do?

He gets temperamental after just a few words.

I'm completely out of ideas.

"Qiao Yong is gone, no one can control her anymore."

Zeng Juan's tone was full of grievance.

To Qiao Fangfang, this sounded somewhat like moral blackmail.

This caused Fangfang a lot of pain.

If it were anyone else, Qiao Fangfang would probably have left long ago and would have given the person who was morally blackmailing her a good scolding.

But this is his own mother.

A poor mother.

My mother wasn't like this before; she was a reasonable, gentle, and virtuous woman.

My previous home was very happy.

But everything changed after her father, Qiao Yong, was murdered.

The mother, Zeng Juan, became somewhat anxious and insecure, and her overall condition deteriorated significantly. It seemed that her intelligence had declined, and she became increasingly strict in disciplining Fangfang.

Zeng Juan seemed terrified of losing things—including losing Fangfang.

The problem with Fangfang's marriage is not new; it existed even when Qiao Yong was alive.

The issue has simply become exceptionally acute now.

Qiao Fangfang turned her head away, tears streaming down her face, her face streaked with tears, filled with endless grievances...

She already had a somewhat sickly beauty about her, and now that she's suffered this injustice, she evokes even more pity.

David carefully observed the mother and daughter, and a sense of guilt welled up inside him.

I failed to take good care of the mother and daughter; it was a serious oversight.

Without a man in the house, it doesn't feel like a home anymore; the yin energy is too strong.

"Sister-in-law, calm down first," Dawei said gently. "When something happens, we'll solve it."

Let me tell you some good news first.

You'll definitely be happy to hear that.

Faced with the stalemate, David chose to change the subject, not wanting to get bogged down in the issue.

Especially when dealing with women, they are most easily influenced by emotions.

To solve their problems, you must first address their emotions; otherwise, they will dislike you—sometimes it's not that you're bad, but simply that you've affected their emotions.

This is a problem that many young people entering the workforce often overlook.

As soon as Dawei said this, the mother and daughter both turned to look at him, and were indeed drawn to his words.

"Among those who framed County Chief Qiao at the time, the first to be implicated was Lin Wangyou, the former secretary of the county discipline inspection commission, followed by Zhou Xiangzhang."

But there are other people behind this.

Standing behind Zhou Xiangzhang was Chen Tiecai.

The murder of County Magistrate Qiao was later classified as a suicide out of fear of punishment. Chen Tiecai was one of the planners and key participants in this case.

Just now.

Chen Tiecai jumped to his death in a hospital in Qinghe City.

He landed headfirst and died instantly.

He died a very tragic death.

Thus, all the culprits who participated in the persecution of County Magistrate Qiao have received their due punishment.

County Magistrate Qiao can rest in peace knowing this.

Upon hearing this, the mother and daughter exchanged a glance, and simultaneously reached out their hands, which clasped tightly together.

The two women, who were just arguing and on the verge of a fight, suddenly made up again.

This is the power of emotions.

This is the influence of emotions on women.

"Thank you, County Chief Chen..." Qiao Fangfang looked at Dawei gratefully.

"Just call me Dawei. County Chief sounds like an outsider. We're family. I'll always be County Chief Qiao's soldier."

Zeng Juan was deeply moved upon hearing this: "Old Qiao is lucky to have a subordinate like you."

If he knew, he would surely rest in peace and be very gratified.

David, you've suffered a lot... I know that.

You've had a tough journey.

Old Joe's situation has had a great impact on you.

You sacrificed a lot to help him get revenge this time, didn't you?"

David lowered his brow, a deep sorrow welling up within him.

Consider that he was born into a scholarly family and came from a humble farming background.

Getting to where we are today has certainly not been easy.

They also have to fight against evil dragons like Zhou Xiangzhang, Chen Tiecai, Zhou Dongliang, and Chen Wei.

How can there be no hardship or sacrifice?

To defeat a dragon, one must be more evil than the dragon.

The belief in his heart tormented him.

This kind of suffering cannot be explained to outsiders.

"It's all in the past."

Actually, there was another important reason why I went to the prison to see Chen Tiecai and pressed him so hard: to protect the family of County Chief Qiao.

The mother and daughter were destitute and alone.

If Chen Tiecai and Chen Wei are released in the future, and the evil dragon is released from prison and takes revenge, then this mother and daughter may also be implicated.

Back when Lin Wangyou, Xie Changhe, and others were being punished, this mother and daughter did their part, holding up signs and protesting their innocence in front of the county government.

If those people retaliate, they will eventually settle scores with this mother and daughter.

Zeng Juan and Fangfang had no idea how dangerous this place was.

How could David possibly tell?

A casual "It's all in the past" speaks volumes about the heartache and helplessness.

Fangfang, with her keen sensitivity, noticed Dawei's sorrowful gaze: "Dawei, come to our house often when you have time."

Just like before, my mom and I will cook you delicious food.

You must have had a very tough time managing such a large situation in Yuanshan County.

My father was the same way before.

I understand you perfectly.

My home is your home too.

His words were heartwarming and comforting.

A glint of light flashed in Dawei's eyes as he looked at Fangfang.

This slender woman, a year older than David, possessed the delicate grace of Lin Daiyu, and her words always won people's hearts.

"OK."

Zeng Juan smiled, looked at the two young men in front of her, and had some mischievous ideas in her mind. She reached out and patted Dawei's hand, saying, "You're being too polite."

Have you been eating less of your sister-in-law's cooking before?

I go home with Old Joe almost every week to have a meal or two.

Whether Old Joe is here or not, our relationship is the same; you can come either way.

Dawei chuckled awkwardly, "Sister-in-law is right. I'll come more often when I have time."

As long as I come to the city, I will call you if time permits.

Eh…

Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Dawei changed the subject.

Ultimately, it all comes down to solving the problem.

"Sister-in-law, what was Fangfang talking about just now?"

Fangfang is not an unreasonable person; you and County Chief Qiao both agree on this point.

I have never seen her confront you like this before.

Is there really some misunderstanding here?

Those involved cannot see the true nature of the situation.

David was a trustworthy outsider, and when Zeng Juan thought about it, what he said actually made some sense.

Could it be that she really was wrong?
