The system only arrives when you're old? Then let's create a super-rich family!

Just now, she deliberately relented, let go in public, didn't get angry or pursue the matter, and refused Qin Zihao's mediation.

All the unusual behaviors are linked together.

That means Duanmu Hong never really stopped her from the beginning! He deliberately let go and allowed his granddaughter to go with Zhou Erniu!

By taking advantage of the fact that the two children like each other, they can further solidify their victim image and legitimately obtain more business resources and support from Young Master Qin!

Gongshu Yi had a strong suspicion, but also a very weak one.

He sighed inwardly:

Zhou Erniu was right after all; Duanmu Hong is such a fool! He even uses his own granddaughter as a bargaining chip to secure the family's future!

Meanwhile, in Beijing.

Qin Zheng leaned back in his boss's chair, watching the entire video feed on the monitor, a knowing smile playing on his lips.

He saw through Duanmu Hong's thoughts even earlier than Gongshu Yi.

The old fox was very shrewd in his calculations.

With his granddaughter marrying Qin Shao's trusted brother, the Duanmu family is naturally bound to the Qin family's cause.

By leveraging this marriage alliance, they secured access to a massive influx of resources from the Qin family, propelling their clan to new heights.

Qin Zheng had no intention of intervening or stopping it.

The eldest grandson values ​​this younger brother, and his decision to grant them a marriage and provide some resources is just a drop in the ocean for the Qin family; they've given it away without a second thought.

In any case, if Erniu becomes successful in the future, he will indirectly help the Duanmu family and consolidate the Qin family's subordinate circle structure.

This achieves multiple goals at once, and everyone is happy.

...

Longhu Manor, a large garden.

A gentle breeze rustled through the greenery in the garden, dispelling the oppressive atmosphere that had permeated the living room.

Zhou Erniu, who had just been hot-headed in the living room and forcibly taken people away, has now lost his edge.

His chubby ears turned bright red, and his face was full of embarrassment.

But he still held Duanmu Ying's small hand tightly in his palm, not daring to let go, for fear that the girl would slip away from him.

He stopped, turned around, and looked directly at the gentle-looking girl in front of him, his expression more solemn than ever before.

"Yingzi, I acted impulsively just now. But every word I said came from the bottom of my heart."

"Don't worry, I'll treat you well from now on."

"I swear, I'll take you to drink all the best milk tea in the world! I'll make sure you live a happy and carefree life every day!"

This is the most romantic and heartfelt promise he could give to the girl.

Duanmu Ying looked up at his reddened ears and earnest eyes, her eyebrows curving into a smile as beautiful as a flower.

She nodded shyly, her voice soft and sweet: "Erniu, I believe you."

The evening breeze ruffled the girl's hair, creating an ambiguous and enchanting atmosphere.

On Tuesday, Niu swallowed hard, his heart pounding, and cautiously probed for an answer.

"Yingzi...can I kiss you?"

Duanmu Ying's cheeks flushed bright red. She shyly turned her head to look at the gardener pruning the flowers and plants not far away, and whispered, "No, there are people watching over there."

The voice just fell.

Two gardeners who were tending to the landscaping plants not far away seemed to receive an unseen command, immediately straightened up, and disappeared around the corner of the garden in a flash.

In an instant, the entire lakeside garden was left with only the two of them.

On Tuesday, Niu chuckled foolishly, his eyes shining as he slowly approached.

"Now, there's no one here..."

A gentle breeze swept across the lawn once more, scattering a few late-blooming gardenia petals from the branches, their delicate fragrance enveloping the two of them.

Duanmu Ying lowered her long eyelashes, her ears turned bright red, and she gently closed her eyes, her slender fingers nervously gripping the hem of her skirt.

On Tuesday, Niu held his breath, his chubby body moving very gently as he carefully bent down and touched the girl's soft lips.

Burns on touch.

He suddenly took a half step back, his face flushed red, his heart pounding wildly, and he didn't know where to put his hands. He just scratched the back of his head and grinned foolishly.

Duanmu Ying kept her head down, hiding herself to the side of his broad figure, not daring to look up at him. Her shoulders trembled slightly, unable to hide the girl's shyness.

The impulsiveness, arguments, and hostility that had filled the living room just now vanished completely after that kiss.

"Yingzi, I mean what I say." Zhou Erniu gripped her small hand tightly again, his eyes more serious than ever:

"With Brother Hao's support, I will climb to your family's level as soon as possible, and then I will stand in front of the Duanmu family with dignity, so that your grandfather can marry you to me openly and honestly."

"I will show him my abilities."

Duanmu Ying looked up into his bright eyes, nodded vigorously, her voice soft yet firm:

"I'll wait for you, no matter how long it takes."

Their eyes met, their fingers intertwined, and they saw only each other.

……

Lake Province, Ma'an County Government Compound.

The sunlight was blinding at the entrance of the government building.

A farewell ceremony for cadres being transferred to new positions is underway.

Song Jingming, the Party Secretary of Ma'an County, held Chen Jun's hand with a warm and sincere expression, his eyes full of regret, and his tone firm and resonant.

"Comrade Chen Jun, I really hate to let you go."

"However, when the central government's order came down, Qingshui County's economy was at the bottom, its infrastructure was lagging behind, and there were serious problems accumulating in people's livelihoods. In the entire Hubei Province, only you, with your strong drive and resolute work style, could shoulder this heavy responsibility!"

"Poor places are where outstanding political achievements are most likely to emerge! I have high hopes for you. Go to Qingshui County, make some achievements, and your future will be limitless!"

Chen Jun frowned slightly, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

He had only been in Ma'an County for three days, had just figured out the local industrial chain, and had planned an investment attraction strategy. He was ready to launch a large-scale construction project.

Without warning, a central government order transferred him across regions to Qingshui County, a poor county in the neighboring province.

Within the system, obeying orders is considered one's duty.

Even though he was full of doubts, he could not disobey his superiors' orders.

He assumed that his superiors valued his work ability, took a deep breath, and made a firm statement with his eyes.

"Secretary Song, rest assured! I will never let the organization down! Once I have lifted Qingshui County out of poverty, I will definitely apply to be transferred back to Ma'an County and lead the people there to prosperity!"

"Alright! I'll be waiting for your triumphant return!"

Song Jingming patted his shoulder forcefully, his smile warm and sincere.

Watching Chen Jun leave the compound in his car, Song Jingming's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a cold sneer and mockery in his eyes.

While others may not know the details of Qingshui County, he, as the top-level county official, knows it all perfectly well.

In Qingshui County, the Shi family, a local tyrant, holds absolute power, monopolizing the entire county's industrial chain through both legal and illegal means.

There were only three paths for cadres who were sent there in the past.

The first rule is to submit and compromise, join the Shi family in their corrupt practices, and leave a handle on them for life, allowing them to control you for the rest of your life.

The second option is to protect oneself, lie down and coast through the days, and live a mediocre life. If one is lucky, one might get a transfer order and be able to extricate oneself from the situation.

Article 3: Take a tough stance to rectify Qingshui County.

To date, all the dispatched cadres who chose the third option have died unexpectedly.

Song Jingming watched the exhaust fumes from the departing vehicle and murmured to himself.

"Still want to come back? Chen Jun, you're lucky if you even manage to leave with a whole corpse."
