Chapter 84 Wife
Sha Ruijin fell into deep thought.
He is quite familiar with Mirror Weekly.
Not long after I arrived in Handong and began to implement my reforms, the provincial propaganda minister brought me a summary to review.
The content is excerpted and compiled from various articles in Mirror Weekly, and it is mostly criticism of Sha Ruijin's practices and policies.
Sha Ruijin noticed the magazine at that time.
Xia Qing is currently investigating foreign forces connected with officials who have emigrated abroad.
This magazine jumped out again, directly labeling Xia Qing himself as the target of the investigation.
The purpose is too obvious.
What is known at present is that information about Xia Qing's family members cannot be found.
I know it exists, but I don't know who it is.
The fact that even the provincial level couldn't grasp the situation only shows that the Xia family behind Xia Qing is truly terrifying.
and many more.
Sha Ruijin suddenly thought of a possibility.
Since the provincial authorities couldn't find out about Xia Qing's family situation, neither could Mirror Weekly.
Therefore, Mirror Weekly believes that Xia Qing's family has problems.
Using this as a pretext to launch an attack?
Sha Ruijin almost laughed. Didn't they understand that with Xia Qing's background, the fact that they couldn't find any family members meant not that there was a problem, but that they were intentionally hiding something?
To dare to throw dirty water at a parachuted-in organization minister is simply too audacious.
Thinking of this, Sha Ruijin tentatively asked:
"Guofu, what do you think of Minister Xia's family situation?"
"I don't know what the situation is, I only know that I shouldn't try to understand what I shouldn't know." Tian Guofu was very perceptive and immediately understood Sha Ruijin's meaning, and quickly said:
"One thing is certain: Minister Xia is definitely not a 'naked official' (official whose family members have emigrated abroad). As for the rest, there's no need to delve into it."
Sha Ruijin leaned back in his chair.
Tian Guofu is truly a non-stick pan.
He was just curious: with Xia Qing's family's influence, what kind of wife would he choose?
It was definitely not an attempt to secretly compare myself to the woman's background.
Of course, there is another possibility.
Because the Xia family is so terrifying, it is difficult for Xia Qing to find a wife that the Xia family can accept.
However, Xia Qing was blinded by love and forcibly married a woman who displeased the Xia family.
This caused the Xia family to feel that they had lost face and that their authority had been damaged.
That's why all the information about Xia Qing's wife and children was sealed off, so that outsiders wouldn't know about it.
The more Sha Ruijin thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
He couldn't help but sigh:
"Sigh, having a strong-willed wife is troublesome, but having a weak-willed wife isn't easy either..."
After listening, Tian Guofu said slyly:
"Is Secretary Sha lamenting that his wife is difficult to get along with? I wholeheartedly agree. Your wives all have such powerful backgrounds, it's tough! And look at that Hou..."
"Comrade Guofu," Sha Ruijin said with a smile.
"Huh?" Tian Guofu was interrupted and looked at Sha Ruijin blankly, his hands still waving in the air.
Sha Ruijin stood up, smiling, but his tense brows betrayed his displeasure:
"You should go back to your work."
……
Xia Qing had been busy all day, coordinating the work.
I finally had some free time and went back to my dorm to rest.
Xia Qing seemed to have all her strength drained away. She casually tugged at her tie and collapsed onto the sofa.
As she played some music, Xia Qing closed her eyes, allowing her mind and body to find a moment of peace.
Just now.
The phone rang.
Xia Qing glanced at it casually.
When he saw the caller ID, a rare look of surprise appeared on his face. He grabbed the phone, answered happily, and said:
"Feed?"
"Old Xia, I'm finally out! I've been locked up in the station for almost half a month, and I finally got my phone back. I can finally rest for a while." A gentle female voice came from the phone; it was Xia Qing's wife, Jiang Yao.
Hearing his wife's voice, which he hadn't heard in a long time, Xia Qing was overjoyed and asked:
"You've been focusing on this case for so long, it must be that transnational espionage case, right? Is it solved?"
Jiang Yao said happily:
"It's all done! We've followed the trail and caught a bunch of people! I can't reveal too much on the phone, but I'll tell you secretly, we found seven spies hiding in the country! One of them is even a university professor! Isn't that despicable!"
"Amazing! No, I mean, these spies are really despicable!" Xia Qing replied with a smile.
"Hey, you're quick to react! And you, you've been in Handong for so long, are you busy with work? Have you been taking good care of yourself?"
"Fortunately, I've managed to establish myself. Let me tell you, that son-in-law of the Zhong family in the capital..."
The two chatted back and forth, talking about everything from their work to interesting things in their lives, as if they had endless things to say.
Xia Qing felt that chatting with his wife was the happiest thing in the world. Jiang Yao came from a prestigious family, but she was not spoiled; instead, she was well-educated, gentle, and considerate.
Because Jiang Yao's job is sensitive and must be kept strictly confidential, Xia Qing's personal file only lists her name in the "wife" section, without any specific information, and even her age is hidden.
As for the two children, they can be cared for by both sets of parents in turns, and there's no need to disclose that in their files.
As they were chatting, Jiang Yao suddenly said:
"Old Xia, I'll come to Handong to keep you company next year! The boss said I'll get a long vacation, two months, once the case is closed."
Xia Qing was taken aback, and said embarrassedly:
"Won't this... be troublesome for you?"
"What's the trouble? You probably haven't eaten well by yourself! I'll take care of you, okay?" Jiang Yao's tone left no room for argument.
"It's settled then! You have to pick me up from the airport when I arrive in Handong."
Xia Qing smiled helplessly:
"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say. We'll go shopping for some daily necessities... Oh, by the way, there are a few good department store counters in Handong, I'll take you to check out skincare products and stuff."
"Okay! It's a deal! I'll go see the kids tomorrow. They'll get spoiled living with the grandparents for so long..."
They chatted for a few more minutes, then reluctantly said goodnight and hung up the phone.
As Xia Qing listened to the beeping sound from the phone and looked at the photo of his wife set as the background in their WeChat chat history, a sense of peace and contentment welled up in his heart.
He couldn't help but want to laugh.
Officials whose spouses and children are abroad?
That's ridiculous.
Can I, Xia Qing, also be a "naked official" (an official whose family members have emigrated abroad)?
It's just that I can't disclose my family situation.
……
Just then, a person appeared.
He was staring at the screen full of comments about Xia Qing being a "naked official" (official whose family members have emigrated abroad).
His eyes gleamed with an excited yet dangerous light!
"So many! It seems Xia Qing isn't so clean after all!"
Hou Liangping clicked the mouse rapidly, digging through video after video and comment section after comment section for the content he wanted.
"A government official with family members residing abroad, his wife and children are unknown, and he is intentionally concealing this..."
"The thief cries 'Stop thief!' He's acting recklessly!"
"A reactionary and perverse act, a disgrace to the cadre!"
Hou Liangping read through the comments that excited him, sentence by sentence, even though they were full of doubts at first glance, he accepted them all.
All he could think about was finding something to use against Xia Qing and attacking him!
Now, a great opportunity has arrived.
Xia Qing, a corrupt official whose family members have emigrated abroad, was the head of the Organization Department?
interesting.
I, Hou Liangping, am finally going to make my move!
