Chen Lao pondered for a moment, ultimately unwilling to see his carefully cultivated successor’s career end just like that.
“I heard your son Zhao Rui Long is called the number one young man in Jingzhou?”
“Chen Lao, those are just jokes, don’t take them seriously.”
…
…
At this moment, Zhao Li Chun dared not admit it, immediately denying the statement.
Some things could be discussed at home, but if they were spread around, it would be a big problem.
“Li Chun, I may be old, but my mind is still sharp! You don’t need to hide anything from me, besides, everyone is not taking it seriously, you don’t have to either.
Do you know that Sha Bao Yu is the number one young man in Beijing?”
This single sentence was like a thunderbolt, Zhao Li Chun couldn’t help but stand up.
“What? Chen Lao, you’re not joking, are you?”
Zhao Li Chun’s first reaction was that it was false.
The number one young man in Jingzhou, the number one young man in Beijing, only a single character difference, yet the meaning it represents is vastly different.
One doesn’t know how small officials are until they go to Beijing.
No joking, Zhao Li Chun, at his level, wouldn’t even be allowed to serve tea and pour water in Beijing.
A young master from a powerful Beijing family, extraordinary, the weight of the title “number one young man in Beijing” can be imagined.
Zhao Li Chun vaguely guessed that Sha Bao Yu’s background was extraordinary, but he never thought it was this extraordinary.
“Joking? Would an old man like me joke with you? All the young masters of Beijing’s powerful families know that Sha Bao Yu is born with wealth and privilege.
You could’ve offended anyone, why did you have to offend him?”
Chen Lao scolded him angrily for his lack of judgment.
I’m really innocent, dammit!
…
…
A ridiculous thought flashed through Zhao Li Chun’s mind, was it too late to publish a notice disavowing his relationship with Zhao Rui Long?
“Chen Lao, what do I do now?”
Zhao Li Chun was completely panicked, his voice even trembled.
He put himself in his son’s shoes, Zhao Rui Long was only the number one young man in Jingzhou, and he was already so arrogant and domineering, whoever offended him would be stripped of their skin.
Let alone Sha Bao Yu, the number one young man in Beijing.
The problem was no longer about further advancement, it was already dangerous for him to even keep his position as the number one man in Jingzhou.
“When major events occur, remain calm, Li Chun, what are you panicking about? I’ve met Sha Bao Yu, he’s calm and composed for his age, not arrogant and domineering.
This time, it’s definitely your fault, so he was angered and acted with fury.
“Yes, yes, it’s definitely our fault.”
Damn it.
Just based on Sha Bao Yu’s status as the number one young man in Beijing, even if it wasn’t his fault, Zhao Li Chun would have to take the blame.
“Since you made a mistake, go visit him and apologize sincerely.
I believe Sha Lao’s grandson isn’t a petty person.
Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and blessing may be a prelude to misfortune.
Through this incident, you can be considered to have met Sha Lao’s grandson, in the future, you can go visit during the holidays, which can be considered building a connection, in the future…”
Although Chen Lao didn’t say it explicitly, Zhao Li Chun understood what he meant.
“Chen Lao, the Sha Lao you’re talking about is…”
“You’re right, Sha Bao Yu’s grandfather, Sha Lao, is the same comrade Xiaoruijin.”
A thunderclap ripped through the sky, tearing apart the heavy curtain of the sky, and a torrential downpour poured out, dispersing the dark clouds.
Fresh air rushed towards him, causing Zhao Li Chun to be shocked.
He really didn’t expect Sha Bao Yu to have such an identity.
Sha Lao, Sha Zhenjiang, followed the Founding Father at a young age and traveled to many places, gaining his trust.
When he was in Ruijin, he was given the name Xiaoruijin by the Founding Father, and his fame rose from there.
After the founding of the country, he experienced many ups and downs, and now holds a high position and is prominent for a time.
Not only that, Sha Lao’s son, Sha Ruijin, is a few years younger than him, and is already the top figure in Yongchang, Ganzhou, with endless potential and strength.
The Sha family has two powerful figures, making them one of the most powerful families in Beijing.
Sha Bao Yu, as the Sha family’s third-generation grandson, truly deserves the title of the number one young man in Beijing.
Zhao Li Chun couldn’t help but swallow, looking out the window at the pouring summer rain, his gaze burning towards the direction of Handong University.
This was the biggest crisis in his political career, but it was also the biggest opportunity in his life.
Chen Lao had retired, and his influence would no longer play a decisive role in Zhao Li Chun’s promotion.
If he could truly form a connection with Sha Bao Yu because of this crisis and join the Sha family.
A mere deputy secretary of Handong Province would be a piece of cake.
Zhao Li Chun, a top political figure who had fought his way out of the officialdom, was worthy of his reputation, and he immediately made up his mind after considering the gains and losses.
He not only had to apologize, but also give Sha Bao Yu face to let him feel his sincerity.
Zhao Li Chun specially called back his eldest daughter, Zhao Xiaohui, who was working in the propaganda department in Jinghai.
Zhao Xiaohui graduated from Handong University and could be considered a fellow alumnus with Sha Bao Yu.
