It was fine if he wasn’t in that position. He still had his son and grandson. As long as his descendants could do it, it similarly meant that their Shi family was no worse than others!
The opportunity that Old Master Shi had been yearning for had finally arrived.
As such, Old Master Shi didn’t allow Shi Peng to make any mistakes in this matter. He had to win against Zhai Yaohui and get that position.
“Brother, you’re so formidable. Furthermore, you entered the army three years earlier than Zhai Yaohui. Brother, I believe that you can definitely do it.”
Shi Peng wondered. Was that so? It was only today that he found out how high a position he held in his sister’s heart.
It was just that the matter his sister asked him to do was really difficult.
She was confident in him, but he wasn’t. Would that do?
After what had happened today, Shi Peng’s mentality for Qi Minlan had undergone great changes.
Shi Peng was very unwilling to believe that his biological sister acted differently in public and in private.
However, the truth told him that Qi Minlan was indeed such a person.
The saddest thing was that he was the target of her double-crossing. He could not help but feel upset.
When she was making use of him, she discredited him in front of Zhai Yaohui without even thinking about him. When she needed him, she addressed him as her brother with so much affection.
Seeing how Qi Minlan ran around like a butterfly among the flowers and the more affectionate Qi Minlan was to him, the more uncomfortable Shi Peng felt in his heart.
Such a person was his only biological sister.
Shi Peng laughed and didn’t dare to think too much. He was afraid that the more he thought about it, the more he would suffer.
As Shi Peng was competing with Zhai Yaohui now, even if Zhai Yaohui had already told Qi Minlan that it was impossible between them and that he only treated her like a biological sister, Qi Minlan was still in a good mood every day.
Previously, Qi Minlan still kept a distance from the other boys she was dating, but from then on, Qi Minlan could be said to have simply let herself go.
Qi Minlan revealed to others, either intentionally or unintentionally, that she was now single and could accept other people’s pursuits.
Upon hearing the news, Lanlan was undoubtedly the most depressed. “Minlan, isn’t that woman already gone? Why did you… Did you break up with Zhai Yaohui? It couldn’t be, right? Aren’t the two of you engaged? You actually gave up such a good man like Zhai Yaohui. Won’t that woman from the countryside benefit from this then?”
How good was Zhai Yaohui? He was good-looking and had a good family background.
If Qi Minlan didn’t want Zhai Yaohui, she would definitely regret it in the future.
No matter if she had little knowledge or not, Zhai Yaohui was the most outstanding man out of everyone she saw.
If she were Qi Minlan, she would definitely stay by Zhai Yaohui’s side and not leave him. She would also not let Zhai Yaohui have the opportunity to break up with her.
Was Minlan a fool for losing such a good boyfriend and then finding someone who was worse?
“What benefits are there?” Qi Minlan was stubborn. “I, Qi Minlan, have such good conditions. Plenty of people would want me. Lanlan, don’t worry. I’ll definitely do the things that I’ve promised you. Even if I and Zhai Yaohui broke up, I will definitely introduce you to a good match in the future. It’s a pity that my dad is quite old-fashioned. Otherwise, I would have just introduced you to my brother and let you be my sister-in-law.”
Lanlan blushed. “Minlan, what nonsense are you uttering?”
She knew how high Uncle Shi’s standards were.
Uncle Shi didn’t agree to let her be friends with Minlan at the start. Had she dared to have unrealistic ideas about being Uncle Shi’s daughter-in-law, she would have long disappeared from Minlan’s side.
“Lanlan, I’m telling you this as you’re my best friend. I’m not going to tell anyone else. My brother is competing with Zhai Yaohui. As long as my brother wins, he should be the next chief in the future. Even if Zhai Yaohui is capable, he would just be basking in his dad’s glory. What does he have? A man like him isn’t as good as you think he is. My brother relied on his abilities to become the chief. That’s what I call capable!”
Qi Minlan was really quite proud of this.
Lanlan frowned and didn’t want to say anything to agitate Qi Minlan.
However, she really wanted to ask, “Aren’t they competing? The results aren’t out yet.”
Why was Qi Minlan so certain that the winner would definitely be Brother Shi instead of Zhai Yaohui?
Everyone in school had heard about how formidable Zhai Yaohui was.
If the eventual winner was really Zhai Yaohui, Qi Minlan would really be left with nothing.
“Minlan, don’t you want to be well-prepared? Even if Zhai Yaohui really lost to your brother, he’s pretty good as well. If, and I say if, Zhai Yaohui won, what will you do? If you continue to be together with Zhai Yaohui, you’re not the future chief’s sister but the future chief’s wife. You will still gain in the end. Isn’t that good?”
Wasn’t this more secure?
Could it be that Qi Minlan didn’t understand this?
However, the current situation didn’t allow her to make such a decision. “You don’t know that my brother entered the army a few years earlier than Zhai Yaohui. He has performed well. Zhai Yaohui is only in the army for a year. On what basis is he competing with my brother? I’m certain that my brother will win. Zhai Yaohui is so bad-tempered. Isn’t he ignoring me because his father is the chief? When my brother becomes the chief, I’ll see if he still treats me coldly like before.”
Even if she really still wanted to be together with Zhai Yaohui as she thought he was the best, she had to wait until her brother defeated Zhai Yaohui and became the chief.
Qi Minlan believed that by then, she didn’t need to take the initiative to find Zhai Yaohui. Zhai Yaohui would repent and seek her forgiveness.
Didn’t Qi Minlan ‘like’ Zhai Yaohui because he was Chief Zhai’s son?
If Qi Minlan was such a person, she naturally felt that others were the same.
Seeing how confident Qi Minlan was, Lanlan could only swallow her words of persuasion so that the two of them wouldn’t argue.
Miao Jing naturally didn’t know about the Zhai family’s matters.
After leaving the Zhai family, Miao Jing didn’t adapt well for a period of time at the start.
After all, the Zhai family’s conditions were too good.
Thankfully, Miao Jing had led an extremely miserable life at Second Uncle Miao’s house. As such, she had already trained her adaptability.
After Miao Jing got used to working life, she looked better every day and there were more smiles on her face.
“Are you counting money again? Haven’t I told you that if you have money, don’t always take it out? You have to keep it well. If you lose it, there’s no point crying then.”
Miao Jing’s colleague saw Miao Jing counting money and couldn’t help but remind her.
