Chapter 696: Family Conflict

" 。This is a good thing. 。Xiao Zheng said, "I'll contact Mayor Cao of Yinzhou first and hope he can help us." 。"Xiao Zheng first called Ma Kai and asked Ma Kai to call his girlfriend Wang Lan, and Wan..."Dad, I didn't mean to upset anyone. I just wanted to be clear!" Xiao Jingyu turned to his father and asked, "Dad, did you know that your younger brother and his friends are going to Jingzhou to develop a project"Xiao Xingshi glanced at Xiao Xinghai and then turned to Xiao Jingyu and said: "I'm not sure about the specifics of this matter, but your uncle mentioned it to me..." 。"Xiao Jingyu said, "Well then, today is a good opportunity. You can also help persuade your uncle to withdraw this project." 。"How can this project just be scrapped" Xiao Xinghai couldn't stand it anymore, almost jumping up, "Jingyu, this is a 2 billion yuan investment project, not a joke." 。And most importantly, I haven't asked you for help with this project once. 。"You admit that, don't you"

Xiao Jingyu nodded and said, "Yes, I haven't looked for you" 。"Xiao Xinghai squeezed a smile onto his face: 'Why Do you know why Because I'm very clear, Jingyu values his official hat more than his family.'" 。I guessed from the start that even if I came looking for you, you would choose to protect yourself. 。So, I won't bother you. 。"To preserve oneself through wisdom is the evaluation that Xiao Xinghai gave to Xiao Jingyu." 。In fact, it was also due to dissatisfaction with Xiao Jingyu's unwillingness to contribute to the family, in order to put pressure on him. 。Xiao Jingyu replied, "It's not that I am protecting myself, but within the system, there are clear regulations to prevent conflicts of interest." 。As long as I'm in charge of coordinating this project, my relatives shouldn't be involved. 。"That's easy!" Xiao Xinghai changed his tone. "I originally asked Minister Sima to help with this project. I'll just ask him for another favor, have him give your city's main leaders a heads-up, and you won't be responsible for coordinating the project anymore, right" Xiao Jingyu felt a surge of anger welling up inside her, mixed with a sense of nausea. She grabbed a napkin and covered her mouth, forcing herself to remain calm as this feeling subsided. 。When she was no longer nauseated, she moved the napkin away, though her lips were already tinged with a faint redness. 。Xiao Xingshi and Xiao Xinghai still thought that Xiao Jingyu was proud, her just now actions were simply because she was angered. 。However, sitting beside her, Grandma Ye Chuanying seemed to have noticed something. She pinched Xiao Jingyu's hand and asked, "Jingyu, are you feeling unwell" Xiao Jingyu looked at her grandmother and clearly felt that her grandmother's hand was colder than hers, but her words of concern made her feel warmer than anything else. 。Xiao Jingyu smiled gently at Ye Chuan Ying, "Grandma, I'm fine" 。"Afterwards, she turned to her younger uncle Xiao Xinghai: "Uncle, please don't go to Minister Sima for help under my banner anymore!" Xiao Xinghai also got a bit angry upon hearing this: "What do you mean by 'under your banner' Jingyu, you are a junior, I spoke to you just now very leniently! But as a junior, you speak without giving anyone any face, what's the matter In your eyes, is there still me, your uncle! There's one thing I need to make clear to you, I didn't use your banner. It's normal for me to ask Sima Yue for help based on the relationship between our Xiao family and the Sima family, why bother using your banner" At this moment, her aunt Xiao Xingyun also spoke: "Jingyu, your uncle is right..." 。We are closely related to the Sima family, and your uncle doesn't need to act under your banner. 。You shouldn't blame your uncle all the time, no matter what, he is an elder. 。Respecting the elderly and loving the young is a fine tradition of our Xiao family. 。Xiao Xingyun is also Xiao Jingyu's elder, so naturally she wants to maintain the dignity of her generation. 。Xiao Jingyu wouldn't be fooled by these words, she wanted to further clarify the issue: "Uncle, Auntie, you said it wasn't 'under my banner' " 。But, I met Minister Sima today. 。He told me clearly that he only contacted the two main leaders in our city because of me. 。You think it's all about the connections with two families, but I doubt they see it that way. 。So, I have to come back today and clear the air. 。"In my life, I will never be with Sima Yue. I can't give him anything, and I will absolutely not become a daughter-in-law of the Sima family, so I cannot give Sima Yue and the Sima family any hope or misunderstandings!"

Hearing this, Xiao Xinghai, Xiao Xingyun, and their son Zhang Haiming all looked at Xiao Jingyu's father, Xiao Xing shi. 。Xiao Xingshi also sensed everyone's doubts and had to turn to Xiao Jingyu: "Jingyu, don't say it like that! Regarding your marriage, we agreed before. If Xiao Zheng can't complete the poverty alleviation task and return safely within two years, bringing benefits to one side, then this marriage won't count! At that time, you will have to put the family first and marry Sima Yue." 。"This was said in front of your grandmother. I believe you shouldn't have forgotten it, right"

Xiao Xingshi knew that Xiao Jingyu had the closest relationship with his grandmother, and only by bringing out his grandmother, Ye Chuanying, could he calm Xiao Jingyu down. 。Xiao Jingyu pursed her lips and said to her father, Xiao Xingshi: "Of course I remember this." 。But, I believe Xiao Zheng will definitely be able to complete the mission and return safely within two years. 。。As for whether Xiao Jingyu is willing or not, and whether he is happy or not, it naturally falls outside his consideration. 。In Zhang Haiming's eyes, the family's growth and prosperity would bring more benefits, and naturally a happier life!

Xiao Jingyu knew about Zhang Haiming's thoughts all too well. She didn't even look at him, throwing out a "My business, it doesn't concern you!"

“You…” Zhang Haiming was speechless by Xiao Jingyu's words, "...I'm doing this for your own good..." 。Xiao Jingyu said, "I think you're doing this for yourself, aren't you You think everyone doesn't know" Zhang Haiming wanted to say something more, but Xiao Xingyun held her son's hand and shook her head. Zhang Haiming stopped talking. 。Xiao Jingyu stood up and said: "As long as I am in Jingzhou, I will oppose the 'Chip Industrial Park' project from settling in Jingzhou because this is not a good project! I made my position clear." 。Enjoy your meal. 。She pushed her chair back, intending to leave. 。Li Haiyan also quickly stood up. 。Grandma Ye Chuanying, however, grabbed Xiao Jingyu's hand and said, "Jingyu, won't you stay and have dinner with Grandma" Xiao Jingyu also wanted to stay and accompany her grandmother who had raised her since she was young. But she clearly felt unwell again. If she stayed, not only would she be unable to eat, but her family would probably see through her condition. 。At this moment, she absolutely could not let her family know that she was pregnant!

Xiao Jingyu's eyes were filled with reluctance as he said, "Grandma, I can't eat this meal happily today. " 。I will come have dinner with you again next time if I have the chance. 。"Having said that, she glanced at her father Xiao Xingshi and said, "Dad, I'm going back to Jingzhou first." 。"Xiao Xing Shi didn't look at her and said, “You’ve upset everyone, yet you're the one leaving. How can we eat this meal now”

"As long as some people don't have ulterior motives and don't think about getting ill-gotten gains" 。"Xiao Jingyu replied, "With a pure heart and an open mind, one can naturally enjoy their meal better." 。"Saying that, Xiao Jingyu left the restaurant, Li Haiyan followed closely behind." 。As soon as the two people got outside, they got in the car and drove away. 。

After enduring hunger, they returned to Jingzhou and arrived at the Phoenix Hotel. They ordered two dishes and a soup and ate a bit. 。 。Li Haiyan looked very worried. She accompanied Xiao Jingyu back to the room and suggested, "Xiao Secretary, we should tell our master that you're pregnant, right This isn't a good way to go on!"

Xiao Jingyu still stubbornly shook his head. "It's not the time yet." 。Li Haiyan helplessly, had to listen to Xiao Jingyu. 。

As night deepened, Xiao Jingyu was still awake. 。She knew, based on her understanding of people like Xiao Xinghai and Xiao Xingyun in the family, that once they had gotten involved in the "Chip Industrial Park" project, they probably wouldn't withdraw just because of her words. 。On the contrary, Xiao Xinghai might even use his connections to prevent her from being responsible for coordinating this project, and he might even try to get her transferred out of Jingzhou!

Both Tan Zhen and Hong Xu would probably hope that Xiao Jingyu leaves Jingzhou at this time, so they wouldn't be hindered in their efforts to introduce the "Chip Industry Park." 。At this moment, she absolutely couldn't leave! So, she had to take action! She needed to stay ahead, be the first one in line, and prevent others from harming her.

At this moment, Xiao Jingyu couldn't help but think of Xiao Zheng 。If he were here right now, we could discuss this and find a solution together. 。Ke Xiao now prefers to stay in Baoyuan, since it's too far away. Telling him about her situation would only add to his worries and troubles! So, she can't tell him any of this. 。The next day, the Standing Committee of the Bao Yuan County Party Committee held its meeting as scheduled. 。Three key agenda items were successfully passed, thanks to the concerted efforts of Xiao Zheng and Jin Quan Sheng, the secretary and county head respectively. 。After adjustments, Zhang Chengchuan, the former head of Hongbao Township, was promoted to serve as the township Party secretary and County Discipline Inspection Commission (CIDC) Standing Committee member Meng Yunshen became the new township head. This strengthened the leadership team of Hongbao Township. Zhu Jinliang, director of the Party Conduct Department of the CIDC, was promoted to become a Standing Committee member of the CIDC, filling the vacancy left by Meng Yunshen. Feng Xingkong, deputy director of the County Committee Office, was promoted to serve as the Party group secretary and director of the County Scenic Cultural Tourism Bureau. 。In addition, ***significant adjustments were made to the leadership at the township and departmental levels, focusing on employing practical and capable cadres. This move has laid a solid foundation of personnel for Baoyuan County's next steps in solidly advancing all poverty alleviation endeavors.*** 。ng yesterday and continuing today, the leaders from Beijing have gathered us in Hong Kong to discuss how to actively respond to…” 。Xiao Zheng asked, "Secretary Xiong, have you come up with a foolproof...
