Chapter Summary
But he didn't tell me exactly what position I'll be in." Zhu Tianhua is currently serving as a secretary to the West District Chief Executive, which can be considered as him gaining seniority. If the city lord was willing, then various transfers could be carried out, and Liu Ning would also be able to place many people in. When the words were spoken, the eldest brother's loud voice wanted to speak again, but his wife probably did something under the table, like kicking him, so the eldest brother...
The city lord felt uneasy about his eldest son's words. What kind of child had he raised all these years? If he was brainless, there were a few things he had done that could be forgiven. But if he was intelligent, he couldn't even distinguish such a simple matter. He really didn't know where his previous teachings had gone. When he was young, he had kept his eldest son by his side and taught him everything by word and deed. But he never expected that his son would come to this. It was truly disheartening.
"Have you talked to Mr. Liu, or discussed your future plans together? Does he think you're better suited to develop at the Naval Base, or does he want to transfer you to another department? If you stay at the Naval Base, does he have any other plans? You know I'm getting old now. I used all my resources on your older brother back then. Although I can still provide you with some resources now, it's not much overall."
The eldest son's face fell at the words of the Lord of the Manor. What did he mean by "all the resources are for me"? Didn't that mean he received more favors from the family? Didn't he have everything he had today through his own hard work? The eldest son was a child prodigy back then. If he didn't have this strength, would this old man have put all the resources on him? Although he was dissatisfied, the eldest son didn't dare to say it at such a family gathering. If he angered his father, he wouldn't have a good future.
"I've talked to Mr. Liu about this matter. He told me to be patient and stay at the naval base. He also hinted to me that there might be a major reshuffle soon. After we come out of the ancient ruins, Mr. Liu should get a big promotion, and then he'll make arrangements for me. But he didn't tell me exactly what position I'll be in."
Zhu Tianhua is currently serving as a secretary to the West District Chief Executive, which can be considered as him gaining seniority. In this respect, he has already surpassed many others by a large margin. If he were to be transferred now, it would seem a bit too hasty. Therefore, Liu Ning did not directly agree to this guy's request. He would just let him work here for the time being. Although the group leader is old, he still has several cards to play. Liu Ning was just making this statement to let the city lord play his cards. In the future, he should not support his useless eldest son, but support his useful youngest son. Then, with a push from Liu Ning, Zhu Tianhua will be able to stand on his own.
Zhu Tianhua was very clear about his future. After seeing Fatty Wu, he knew what he needed to do. Fatty Wu helped Liu Ning with various contacts within the army, acting like a head steward. Zhu Tianhua would play the same role at the garrison headquarters, so he needed to advance further in his secretarial position. Liu Ning hadn't made any changes to his schedule precisely for this reason—to allow Zhu Tianhua to familiarize himself with the role. There was no better position than that of a secretary.
Actually, Liu Ning wanted to use Zhu Tianhua's words to test the waters and see what the city lord thought. If the city lord was unwilling to come closer, then Liu Ning would have suffered no loss. If the city lord was willing, then various transfers could be carried out, and Liu Ning would also be able to place many people in. Without the city lord's approval, those people probably couldn't be transferred. So Liu Ning was killing two birds with one stone. After hearing this, the city lord smiled and thought, "This kid is really cunning."
This kid has an absolutely limitless future. There are only 6 councilors in the city right now. Although Liu Ning is ranked last, he can definitely be ranked number one in terms of future development potential. Although these people hold high positions and great power, look at their age. If they don't make any breakthroughs by now, they will probably have to stay in their positions until the end. Even if they are sent to the central base city, they can only hold some insignificant positions. It is absolutely impossible for them to continue to rise. But Liu Ning is completely different. He is not even 20 years old and he can already sit on the same level as them. When Liu Ning is in his thirties or forties, it is hard to imagine what kind of position he will be in. He may very well sit in the position of speaker.
"Father, what are your plans for my future? Or is Mr. Liu's plan feasible? I have just entered the political arena and am unfamiliar with many things, so I would appreciate your guidance, Father."
Zhu Tianhua saw that his father remained silent. When the words were spoken, the eldest brother's loud voice wanted to speak again, but his wife probably did something under the table, like kicking him, so the eldest brother kept quiet. Zhu Tianhua also glanced at his sister-in-law. She came from a prestigious family and was very shrewd. His brother's success was largely due to her. If his brother was easy to deal with, his sister-in-law was nearly 20 times more cunning than him.
The city lord nodded but didn't speak. He continued eating his rice. Everyone was silent, knowing that the city lord was deep in thought, so they needed to be quiet. The result should be forthcoming soon. The eldest brother was getting impatient, constantly trying to guess his father's thoughts.
If they start supporting his second brother, then those resources might not be used for him in the future. He was able to become the governor of the Eastern District because of his father's support. If he loses his father's support, he probably won't be able to go on. His father has spent so much on him. Does he really have to withdraw his investment?
Although this isn't an investment, it can certainly be considered one. My father has already invested so much in me, and if I were to withdraw now, he would surely be unwilling to give up, considering how much he invested initially. Now it's time to reap the rewards. Although I can't give my father a huge return, at least I won't let him lose money, which is already quite a good thing...
