Chapter 261 Let's Let Go
Chapter 261 Let's Let Go
I waited about five or six minutes for Xu Aiguo's text message to come back.
"Hehe, my mother told me that she didn't even eat dinner and ran away as soon as she got off work."
You young people don't need to report your affairs to me.
Do whatever makes you happy.
We old men shouldn't interfere too much in the affairs of you young people, it's easy to become annoying—my wife has criticized me quite a bit about this.
However, there's one thing: play is play, and joke is joke.
Getting pregnant before marriage is not allowed.
Safety is paramount.
Otherwise, I'll have to deal with you.
Looking at the message, which contained a hint of humor, a touch of helplessness, and a dash of affection for the younger generation, Dawei hesitated for a long time before finally replying, "Don't worry."
I am not a fool.
He is not a heartless person.
I will never forget the help you and Tingting have given me, no matter what time it takes or what I become in the future.
This is Dawei's formal response to Xu Aiguo's passive compromise.
The intention was to imply to the other party that even if he and Tingting did not end up together, it would not affect Dawei's future gratitude to Xu Aiguo.
At this moment, Xu Aiguo and Tingting's father were sitting on the balcony of their home, looking at the night view of Guangzhou in the distance, silently smoking.
Upon seeing Dawei's last text message, Xu Aiguo put his phone aside. Their communication was over, and as someone in a superior position, he didn't need to reply to the last text message.
Think about it.
Xu Aiguo felt that the scope of his thinking should be broadened.
This young man is the most intelligent, decisive, and promising young man he has encountered since he entered politics.
Such a person is definitely not easy to control.
It's better to let go and let him soar on his own, betting on his character and that he won't forget the old man who once helped him with all his might.
"If you ask me, let's just let it go."
Let Tingting and Dawei, the two young people, get to know each other on their own.
If we interfere too much, it might backfire.
David felt that Tingting's love for him was mixed with some utilitarian motives.
This, in turn, frightened David.
Judging from the path this young man took, although he has a sinister side, his underlying nature is still loyalty, righteousness, and benevolence.
You can tell what kind of person he is by how he treats his former boss, Qiao Yong.
Therefore, we should just focus on providing strong support.
The rest is up to fate.
Tingting's father was still a little worried because he didn't know Dawei as well as Xu Aiguo did.
"Brother-in-law, you've always been very good at judging people."
David is a man of few words.
But my Tingting is clumsy.
If we don't help her, that silly girl Ding Tingting will be played to death.
They've been sold out and are still counting the money for the seller.
Even if Dawei is a decent person and wouldn't cheat Tingting, but...
But Tingting couldn't afford to delay any longer.
At this age, I've never even had a boyfriend.
If we drag this out for years with David, there will be no result.
It will be even harder for her to get married again in the future.
Ding Tingting's father was extremely worried and kept scratching his head.
Xu Aiguo sighed and patted his brother-in-law's shoulder, saying, "She's not as stupid as you say."
Tingting is quite smart.
If she were a fool, a naive and innocent person, she wouldn't be able to survive in the provincial government office at all.
Do you think that's a place where just anyone can stay?
Even if someone is there, it's useless.
Besides, if your daughter is such a despicable person, forcing her on someone else will only lead to a bad end.
Children have their own paths to follow.
As long as it's not illegal, let her do whatever she wants.
We need to accept that we're getting old, and we can't control someone else's whole life, so it's better to let go sooner rather than later.
You're just like I used to be...
We always think we're smarter and more capable than the younger generation, but actually, we're just a bit older and don't have any particular strengths.
Having spent a long time within the system, Xu Aiguo has come to understand a fundamental reality: those who can survive in the system, and survive long enough to reach a certain position, are not fools.
It could even be said that the smartest people are necessarily those within the system.
Exceptionally talented individuals, even if they remain in the private sector, will eventually be absorbed into the system or organizations closely related to it for various reasons and due to their status.
Tingting's father was eventually persuaded and felt relieved. He sent a text message to ask if his daughter had arrived safely.
Ding Tingting quickly replied with an "Mm," and he was relieved.
On this side of Yuanshan County.
Tingting's car was parked at the intersection where the national highway merges into the county road.
There is a stone tablet at the intersection with the three large red characters "Xiapu Town" engraved on it.
David's car was parked next to the monument.
Tingting parked the car next to Dawei, rolled down the window, nodded her chin at him, and whistled, "Handsome, all alone?"
"Hehe..." Dawei was amused by her quirky appearance: "Park the car in front of the hotel, then get in my car, I'll take you to eat something delicious."
David got into the car and drove Tingting to a relatively nice hotel.
Tingting didn't get out of the car: "Don't you have a five-star hotel here? What's it called...?"
"Guohao Hotel"
"Yeah, let's stay there. Why stay here?"
David scratched his cheek and chuckled sheepishly, "Well, it's pretty clean..."
Ding Tingting pouted: "Let's go, lead the way. I don't need you to pay, I have my own money."
"You don't need to pay; the county will reimburse you."
Tingting glanced at him sideways: "Give me a break."
Look at how stingy you are.
You probably paid for this hotel yourself, so try not to get it reimbursed if you can avoid it.
Let's go quickly.
I'm starving.
David had no choice.
The county had already arranged consultation fees for Tingting and travel reimbursement, but Dawei was afraid of gossip, so he paid for a better hotel himself.
The Guohao Hotel would be the ideal choice, but it costs five or six hundred yuan a night, which is too much for Dawei's wallet.
Upon arriving at the Guohao Hotel, Dawei hurriedly went to the front desk to complete the formalities and pay, but Tingting stopped him with one hand and handed her credit card to the front desk with the other.
"Swipe my card, this is my gold card, I remember it gives me a discount at your hotel."
After the receptionist confirmed the offer, they gave me a 9% discount.
David had even less reason to insist on paying.
The waiter helped carry the luggage to the room, and then Tingting got into Dawei's car.
The two arrived at a farm by the Hot Water River.
Director Wu had called ahead, and the proprietress was already waiting at the door. When she saw Dawei's car arrive, she immediately ran over to greet him and helped direct Dawei to back up.
"Plop, plop... It's okay, keep going, I'm watching..."
As soon as the car came to a stop, the proprietress got in and opened the car door with a big smile on her face.
"Hello, County Chief Chen, hello beautiful lady, please come in. The air conditioning has already been turned on."
It was obvious that the floors and other areas had been cleaned in advance, and some air freshener had been sprayed.
The proprietress even changed into brand new clothes.
The farm has only three private rooms.
David was taken to the largest room on the east side.
The proprietress handed the two menus, and the waiter served tea.
"What would you two like to eat?"
Tingting put the menu back on the table, rested her chin on her hand, looked at Dawei, and said, "You order, I'll eat whatever you order."
David didn't know much about these things: "Hey, boss lady, give me one of each of your best-selling dishes."
Make sure to use fresh ingredients, and pay attention to the plating.
My friend is a gourmet; he's eaten his way all over China. We need to treat him well.
The proprietress smiled confidently: "If anyone says the food isn't good, not only will you not have to pay the bill, but I'll also smash the signboard myself."
The proprietress chuckled and left, leaving Dawei somewhat puzzled.
"Director Wu, what kind of restaurant did you choose? The proprietress spoke so confidently, isn't she afraid of losing face later?"
Tingting giggled and nudged Dawei's arm, saying, "Don't worry, it'll definitely taste delicious."
"Oh, why?"
David didn't understand. She had never eaten here, so how did she know?
Based on just a few boastful words from the boss's wife?
