Chapter 8 - 8: Ambitions

Many women hope to have a man to rely on.

Zheng Xiaoyun is a weak girl. She longs to find a man who can provide her with enough sense of security. Even though she knows that Chen Jian has countless shortcomings, she can tolerate some of them as long as he is safe enough.

After Chen Jian admitted his mistake in public today, abandoned her, and ran away alone in a panic, Zheng Xiaoyun's heart was completely cold.

Liu Fusheng knew Zheng Xiaoyun's character, so he chose the simplest and most brutal way to help her escape from the fire.

Similarly, Liu Fusheng knows Zhang Wenwen better.

Arrived at the agreed cafe.

When Liu Fusheng saw Zhang Wenwen once again showing a very aggrieved expression, he guessed what she wanted to say next.

"Fusheng, my dad stopped you from taking the civil service exam, which was a bit excessive, but he is my dad after all. Please forgive him, okay?"

Zhang Wenwen said softly after taking a sip of coffee.

Liu Fusheng asked with a smile: "Is it worth forgiving someone who wants to ruin my future?"

Zhang Wenwen bit her lip and said, "But you still passed the civil service exam. Your future is not ruined. Or, you... don't you want to be with me anymore?"

Liu Fusheng also took a sip of coffee. "Let's be frank. You're here to find out about me on behalf of your father, right? You want to know who I'm leaning on, right? Based on my connections, you can decide how to deal with me. I know you all too well."

Zhang Wenwen's face changed because she really thought so.

Feeling Liu Fusheng's disdainful gaze, Zhang Wenwen gritted her teeth and said, "Liu Fusheng, I really didn't expect you to be such a person. Were all the promises you made to me false?"

"You know better than me whether the promise is true or not, right?" Liu Fusheng interrupted Zhang Wenwen, stood up and said, "I came to see you today just to see what new tricks you and your father have up your sleeve! Since it's all the same old tricks, I won't keep you company! Oh, and since you came to see me, don't forget to pay the bill when you leave!"

Zhang Wenwen slammed the table in anger. "Liu Fusheng, you bastard, what qualifications do you have to fight me? I gave you a way out, but you refused to take it. Don't blame me if you die later!"

Liu Fusheng, who was standing at the entrance of the coffee shop, turned around and looked at Zhang Wenwen and said, "I've never thought of fighting with you. You're just pebbles on my road. I can just kick you away. It's not worth bothering with you."

In this life, Liu Fusheng's ambition is to reach the pinnacle of his official career!

Of course, he will not let any of Zhang Wenwen, Zhang Zhengting, and those who framed him back then go!

During the period of waiting for the employment notice, Liu Fusheng spent all his time playing chess with the old secretary Li Hongliang, except for occasional phone calls with Zheng Xiaoyun.

Liu Fusheng did not play by the rules. He and Li Hongliang made three rules: only after Li Hongliang won the game would he write down an endgame of "Meng Ru Shen Ji" from memory and give it to the other party.

The result was that after more than a week, Li Hongliang only got a chess game record. The old man was so anxious that he scratched his head and pondered the chess game every day, thinking about it until late at night, and his eyes were red.

"Uncle Li, today is probably the last time I will play chess with you in the near future."

It was a sunny day. Liu Fusheng and Li Hongliang were sitting at a stone table playing chess. Tea and peanuts were laid out, and the boundary between Chu and Han was clearly defined.

Li Hongliang had anticipated this: "Has the employment notice arrived?"

Liu Fusheng nodded and said, "Yes, I will report to the Municipal Bureau tomorrow and wait for my job assignment... I just started working, so I definitely won't have time to play chess."

Li Hongliang said with some regret: "What a pity! Playing chess with you these days has really improved my chess skills! You know, when I was at work, I was unbeatable..."

Li Hongliang felt a little awkward and swallowed the words "Provincial Party Committee Compound".

Seeing this, Liu Fusheng smiled slightly and said, "Before Uncle Li retired, he must have been a leading cadre in a government agency, right?"

Li Hongliang narrowed his eyes and said, "You know?"

Liu Fusheng chuckled and said, "Usually, only old leaders are invincible throughout the entire unit... They were invincible in the unit, but once they retire, they are invincible!"

I can't beat anyone, I can't beat anyone?

Li Hongliang reacted and burst into laughter: "You kid! You haven't even entered the officialdom yet, but you've already seen through the ins and outs of it!"

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "Officialdom is a place for enlightenment. Although I don't like it, I can still gain enlightenment!"

"What did you realize?" Li Hongliang asked, holding up the teacup.

Liu Fusheng said: "I think that in many things, the process can be negotiated, but the result must be a win-win situation."

As he spoke, Liu Fusheng took out a stack of A4 paper from his bag and handed it to Li Hongliang.

Li Hongliang asked in confusion: "What is this?"

Liu Fusheng said: "I have tried hard to recall the missing part of the chess record in 'Dream into the God Machine' these past two days, but I can only recall these contents!"

Chess record!

Li Hongliang's eyes lit up immediately, and his hand holding the chess manual trembled slightly! For a chess enthusiast, this A4 paper is a rare treasure!

Then, Li Hongliang suddenly remembered what Liu Fusheng had just said. He smiled meaningfully and said, "Boy, as long as you don't forget your original intention, you will eventually ride the wind and waves!"

Liu Fusheng said thoughtfully: "In fact, the ways of the world are just superficial. The core must be the righteous way of the world!"

Li Hongliang's expression gradually turned serious. He nodded and said, "I really didn't make a mistake."

Monday.

The day Liu Fusheng started working.

He and others lined up to register. Next, they will be assigned jobs, either staying in the municipal bureau, or going to various branches and grassroots police stations.

Among the crowd, there were naturally many people who had already established good relationships. They chatted and laughed, looking relaxed, and not worried at all about where they would be assigned.

As for the others, they were all a little nervous. If they could stay in the Municipal Bureau, who would be willing to go to the grassroots level and be exposed to the wind and sun?

"Do you know who's in charge of assigning positions this time? It's Section Chief Chen from the Municipal Bureau's Personnel Department! He's my buddy's uncle!"

A handsome young man said proudly.

After hearing this, several people immediately came over to inquire about various news.

Liu Fusheng was certainly not among them. In his opinion, this young man had no awareness of working within the system at all. This kind of thing should never be boasted about.

"Haha, isn't it just finding Chen Qingbo from the Personnel Department? A newly promoted deputy section chief, what is he showing off for!" Another young man sitting next to Liu Fusheng said with a disdainful sneer on his face.

Chen Qingbo?

Liu Fusheng's heart moved slightly, he had heard of this name!

In his previous life, on his first day on the job, he heard that a deputy section chief of the Municipal Bureau had been dismissed on the spot! That man's name was Chen Qingbo!

Although it was not a system, this matter spread very quickly, so Liu Fusheng was deeply impressed!

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

Just as Liu Fusheng was recalling this incident, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open!

Everyone immediately quieted down, but the person who walked in through the door was not Deputy Section Chief Chen Qingbo, but a young man with slicked-back hair and powdered face!

Liu Fusheng's eyelids jumped. He didn't expect to meet Chen Jian here!

The young man who was bragging just now immediately stood up with a smile after seeing Chen Jian.

Chen Jian hugged the young man, then glanced around and spotted Liu Fusheng. His expression instantly darkened. "Why are you here? Okay, so you're just a police officer waiting for assignment? Hahaha, do you know who my third uncle is?"
