Year: I planted trees in Saihanba

Chapter 133 It's Hard for Children from Poor Families to Achieve Success

Time flies.

Before we knew it, it was time for the new school term to begin.

After handling her mother's funeral, Qin Xuemei embarked on her journey back to Northeast Forestry College alone.

Ministry of Forestry.

In Vice Minister Qin's office.

Countless people call him every day.

They're either here to plead for favors or to pull strings.

At first, Qin Qiufeng sternly rebuked such behavior.

But despite the stern rebukes, it had no effect whatsoever.

Some of them even used connections to get to people at his level.

This matter greatly annoyed Vice Minister Qin.

They held meetings to discuss the matter, but they couldn't come to a conclusion.

Adding to the chaos was the matter of Qin Xuemei. Qin Qiufeng's New Year was truly a time of utter chaos and confusion.

He couldn't understand why college students didn't want to work at the grassroots level.

Why do today's young people lack the passion of their generation?

He reported the problem to the State Council.

However, the Minister of Forestry is a big shot in the State Council (the old leader who appears in Chapter 18).

There's absolutely nothing we can do about this.

This is the case with Chinese society and national conditions.

Ultimately, it all comes down to personal favors.

Aside from a few commoners who had no connections at home and were considered exceptional talents.

These days, which college student doesn't have some kind of connection in their family?

Or to put it another way, if you don't have connections at home, can you even go to university?

It is rare for a child from a poor family to achieve greatness; this is no exception.

It is rare for a child from a poor family to achieve greatness.

Aside from a few exceptional individuals, how many ordinary people can break free from their shackles?

Therefore, even if the old leader wanted to intervene in this matter, he was powerless to do anything about it.

Unless this matter causes a huge uproar.

But clearly, this matter shouldn't be blown out of proportion.

So what can we do?

The best solution is to make some sacrifices for Saihanba.

Who told them to be at a disadvantage?

what?

You mean defend Beiping? Defend Chairman Mao?

Who doesn't know about Saihanba?

Sending one more person or one less person won't affect the overall situation.

If trees could be grown successfully, they would have been grown successfully long ago.

……

"Xiao Li, from now on, please handle these kinds of calls for me!"

Qin Qiufeng looked at Secretary Li, who was standing guard to the side, and gave him instructions.

"No matter what they say, you just can't explain it clearly, you don't know."

Qin Qiufeng disapproved of this situation, but there was nothing he could do about it.

The only option is to stall.

Let's wait until we get clear orders from above before we talk about it.

Secretary Li, who was standing nearby, nodded in agreement upon hearing her boss's words.

This indicates that you understand.

Seeing that Secretary Li nodded, Qin Qiufeng said something else to him.

"Go and make me a cup of tea!"

Upon hearing Qin Qiufeng's words, Secretary Li quickly turned around and went to make tea.

Qin Qiufeng watched Secretary Li's retreating figure, lost in thought.

Qin Qiufeng was very satisfied with his secretary, Xiao Li.

He is calm and capable in his work and is well appreciated by others.

After careful calculation, it turned out that Secretary Li had been by his side for four years.

Xiao Li and Xia Tian not only graduated in the same year, but Xiao Li is also an alumnus of Xia Tian's school.

Originally, Qin Qiufeng had chosen Xia Tian as his secretary.

But in the summer, he was required to go down to the grassroots level.

So the job of being Qin Qiufeng's secretary fell to Xiao Li.

Thinking of summer, a smile returned to Qin Qiufeng's face.

He was thinking of the boy who, like a little fox, had been bargaining with him.

That energetic young man who volunteered to work at the grassroots level.

A smile unconsciously appeared on Qin Qiufeng's face.

That young man impressed him deeply, both in his way of doing things and his professional skills.

If only all the college students in this batch could be like Xia Tian (Summer).

Suddenly, this unrealistic idea popped into Qin Qiufeng's mind again.

However, Qin Qiufeng was soon amused by his own idea.

Soon, Secretary Li pushed open the door and entered.

"Little Li, how many years have you been by my side?"

Looking at the young man in front of him, who was also quite young, Qin Qiufeng smiled gently.

"Boss, this is the fourth year!"

Xiao Li didn't understand what Qin Qiufeng meant, but he still answered truthfully.

"It's been four years. Have you thought about going down there for some experience?"

Secretary Li became excited upon hearing Qin Qiufeng's words.

"Boss, what do you mean...?"

Secretary Li didn't care about politeness anymore.

After all, this matter concerns his own progress.

Who in this world doesn't want to make progress?

Secretary Li also comes from a wealthy and influential family.

His father was no less capable than Qin Qiufeng in front of him.

Having been exposed to such things since childhood, it's clear that it's a waste of Li's talents to be Qin Qiufeng's secretary.

"Yes, it's what you think!"

Qin Qiufeng nodded.

"Do you want to gain experience at the grassroots level, or continue your studies within the ministry?"

"Sir, I want to go to the grassroots level."

Secretary Li answered Qin Qiufeng's question without hesitation.

Secretary Li also harbored grand ambitions.

He has an older brother who is destined to inherit the family's resources.

As the second son in the family, he was destined to be unable to inherit the family's resources.

However, he lived up to expectations and was admitted to Beijing Forestry University.

And by chance, she became Qin Qiufeng's secretary.

"Okay, I understand what you're thinking!"

Qin Qiufeng nodded, though he did have a little selfish motive in his heart.

He wanted to arrange for his daughter, Qin Xuemei, to work as his secretary.

He took Qin Xuemei into his care and, in the meantime, eased his relationship with her.

Although Qin Qiufeng didn't want to replace Secretary Li, whom he found very agreeable.

However, Secretary Li also has her own aspirations.

Adding to that my own little selfish motive, that's why the question and answer session in the office just now took place.

……

Northeast Forestry University.

"Student Qin Xuemei, I am speaking to you on behalf of the school's Party Committee."

The Party Secretary of Northeast Forestry University looked at the bright and cheerful girl in front of him and smiled gently.

Just now, he suddenly received a notification from above.

It is said that Minister Qin of the Ministry of Forestry wants to select a secretary from their school.

Ask them to recommend an outstanding graduate.

Those who can sit in the position of Party Secretary of Northeast Forestry University are certainly not fools.

He instantly understood what was meant.

That's when they found Qin Xuemei.

Even if Qin Xuemei wasn't an outstanding graduate, she still had to be one.

Moreover, Qin Xuemei herself is an outstanding graduate.

……

Let's give the author some ideas.

In the original plot arranged by the author, this secretary, Xiao Li...

It was Meng Yue's final resting place with her beloved.

But now that Meng Yue has been given the role of the protagonist, how should the author arrange the little secretary, Li?

The author is currently torn about whether or not to assign Secretary Li to Saihanba.

Let's all give the author some suggestions.
