504: Chapter 504 Where to Go: A Choice

Zhu Qingxi was driving.

Her husband was back, and she was happy, genuinely happy from the bottom of her heart.

The two chatted happily along the way. Zhu Qingxi said, "My father's next post has basically been decided; he will take a step up and serve as the Governor of Handong Province."

Hearing this, Qin Chuan felt happy for him.

Years ago, when he and Zhu Qingxi first met, Vice Governor Zhu Shihua was just an ordinary Vice Governor of Handong Province and had not yet entered the Provincial Party Standing Committee.

Over these years, Vice Governor Zhu Shihua had developed well, and soon, he would be the Governor of Handong Province, which could be considered a new height in his official career.

After chatting about her father, Zhu Qingxi asked with concern, "Husband, since mom and dad called you back this time, it must be that your next post has been decided."

Qin Chuan nodded, "Yes, it should be about discussing my next post."

"Husband, congratulations."

Qin Chuan was also in a good mood. The system message had already revealed that his father would have lunch with him tomorrow to chat about his next post, with two options in total.

First, member of the Northwest Provincial Party Standing Committee, Deputy Secretary, and concurrently Municipal Party Secretary of Xilin City.

Second, member of the Jiangnan Provincial Party Standing Committee and Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission.

Qin Chuan kept thinking in his mind about which one to choose.

If others knew, they would definitely be green with envy. We would be overjoyed just to go to any place, yet you actually have a choice of two.

Having a powerful family background is truly different; not only do you not need to rack your brains and pull strings to get promoted, but you even have a choice of where you want to go.

In fact, Qin Chuan had a certain interest in Xilin City. It was not only the capital of Northwest Province, a famous historical and cultural city, and an ancient capital of six dynasties, but also a sub-provincial city and the economic and cultural center of the entire Northwest region.

Not only as the Municipal Party Secretary of Xilin City, he would also serve as Deputy Secretary in the Provincial Party Committee. Although he would be just one of several Deputy Secretaries of the Provincial Party Committee, his political status would already be quite high.

Of course, being a member of the Jiangnan Provincial Party Standing Committee and Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission was also not bad.

With a choice of two, Qin Chuan had not yet made up his mind because both positions were excellent.

Because it was already nine or ten o'clock at night, the two returned to their own small home instead of going to his parents' house.

It was late at night, and there was no need to disturb them.

When they returned to their own small home, it was already past ten o'clock.

The small villa was very quiet. Opening the door and entering, there was no one there; even the nanny had gone back.

Qin Chuan asked, "Where are our daughter and son?"

Zhu Qingxi said, "In the afternoon, your mother came and took them away. Now, it is just the two of us."

"Husband, you must be tired. I will go and draw a bath for you."

Looking at his wife's curvy figure, Qin Chuan said, "Let's bathe together. It's been a while since you scrubbed my back, wife."

Zhu Qingxi smiled and rolled her eyes at him, "Then let's go together."

The next day.

The couple got up quite late because the battle last night had been quite intense. After getting up, they ate breakfast outside and then went to his parents' house.

At noon, Provincial Party Secretary Qin Zhendong returned.

Holding a high position, he was even busier now. Being able to come back and have lunch with his family was something specially arranged in advance.

While the family was eating, Provincial Party Secretary Qin Zhendong did not mention the issue of Qin Chuan's next post at all, only chatting about daily life and at most asking about Qin Chuan's work situation at Jiangnan University.

After the meal, Qin Chuan followed his father into the study.

The father and son sat down on the sofa, and only then did Provincial Party Secretary Qin Zhendong bring up the issue of Qin Chuan's next post.

"Chuan'er, your work at Jiangnan University has been very good, and the organization has a high evaluation of it. Now there are two choices, and I would like to ask for your opinion."

"The first choice is to go to Northwest Province to serve as a member of the Provincial Party Standing Committee, Deputy Secretary, and concurrently Municipal Party Secretary of Xilin City. The second choice is to go to Jiangnan Province to serve as a member of the Provincial Party Standing Committee and Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission."

Qin Chuan did not make a choice but asked, "Dad, where do you think I should go?"

Provincial Party Secretary Qin Zhendong pondered for a moment, "These two positions are similar; both are real-power deputy ministerial positions. I think going to Northwest Province is better. It is easier to make achievements in the position of Municipal Party Secretary of Xilin City. Besides, you have the experience of serving as a Municipal Party Secretary; you did very well in Dongjiang City before."

"As long as you make outstanding achievements in Xilin City, it will be relatively simple to take another step forward. You also know that as the only male descendant of our Qin Family's third generation, the burden on your shoulders is very heavy. Both your grandfather and I hope you can surpass our height in the future."

Qin Chuan nodded slightly.

He had the background; as long as he had achievements, he could be promoted all the way in the future.

Going to Jiangnan Province to serve as Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission was also not bad. He had the system, and any corrupt official would have nowhere to hide; achievements could certainly be made, but he would offend many people.

Having reached the deputy ministerial level, Qin Chuan felt more and more that the world was no longer about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and social sophistication.

After pondering for a moment, Qin Chuan said, "Dad, then I choose to go to Northwest Province."

Provincial Party Secretary Qin Zhendong nodded, "Then go to Northwest Province. Tomorrow, you go back to Jiangnan University first and wait for the organization's notification. Today and tomorrow, just stay in the capital and accompany your mother; she is always talking about you."

On Sunday night, Qin Chuan returned to Jiangnan Province.

On Monday, when he went to work, after finishing the weekly meeting and sitting in his office, Qin Chuan began to consider some arrangements and adjustments.

He was about to leave Jiangnan University, and some matters needed to be arranged in advance, especially regarding personnel. In addition, he could take a secretary with him to Northwest Province. Qin Chuan prepared to ask for Secretary Yuan Hua's opinion. Besides, Director Xiao Xueli was also good, so he would ask for his opinion too.

Thinking this in his heart, Qin Chuan first called Director Xiao Xueli over.

"Secretary, are you looking for me?"

He was still as humble as before, especially in front of Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan said warmly, "Director Xiao, please sit down, let's have a chat."

Director Xiao Xueli sat down on the sofa, appearing very respectful, only daring to sit on half of the seat. He thought the leader would talk to him about school matters.

Who knew, Qin Chuan opened his mouth and asked, "Director Xiao, you are forty-seven this year, right?"

Director Xiao Xueli was slightly stunned, but he reacted quickly and immediately replied, "Secretary, you remember very clearly, I am forty-seven this year."

"You have been at Jiangnan University for more than ten years, right?"

"I worked in local areas before. I served as a Township Party Committee Secretary for one term, and also as a Deputy County Magistrate. Later, I was transferred to Jiangnan University, and I have been here for twelve years. Time really flies."

Qin Chuan said, "Then have you ever thought about working in a government department?"

Of course he had thought about it.

Two years ago, there was an opportunity to serve as the Office Director of the Furong Municipal Government, but it ultimately failed. He also gradually realized that it was not so easy to leave the school and work in a government department. Gradually, he completely gave up on this idea and just wanted to work well at Jiangnan University. If he could become a Vice President in the future and then retire, he would be very satisfied.

Qin Chuan's question made Director Xiao Xueli's calm heart gradually become a little fiery again.
