While Chen Ping and Xiao Hongkun were talking alone in the room, Xiao Shufei was waiting nervously and anxiously in another room.

For Concubine Xiao Shu now, her mood was very complicated at this time. She hoped that Chen Ping and her father would have a very speculative conversation and talk more about work; but at the same time, she did not want them to talk too much, as if they were really going to marry themselves, nor did she hope that they would only talk about work, but also talk about their own affairs...

In short, in the end, even Concubine Xiao herself didn't know which direction she should look for.

With Concubine Xiao Shu's intelligence, she could not have expected that her father would come to Luzhuang specifically. He would definitely not just look at Chen Ping, the "son-in-law". His main purpose was to help him set up a good plan for the future. So for this purpose, her father would definitely discuss some official issues with Chen Ping during this conversation.

But although she should think so, in fact, Concubine Xiao is still a woman, and she is always more sensitive to emotional issues.

Just when Concubine Xiao was making random guesses, the door of the room was suddenly opened. Concubine Xiao, who was struggling with things, was startled, but then she let out a long sigh because the person coming in was nothing but Chen Ping whom she had been waiting for.

Chen Ping came here alone. When Concubine Xiao stood up when she saw Chen Ping, she asked Chen Ping nervously: "Chen Ping, how are you talking to my father?"

Chen Ping nodded and said, "It's okay! Sister Shufei, my chat with your father is quite speculative."

Facing Chen Ping's answer, Concubine Xiao said dissatisfiedly: "Chen Ping, you know what I am asking, don't be careless with me."

Chen Ping said in a little embarrassedly: "Sister Shufei, it's not that I want to be careless with you, but that it's really good that you don't know about Sister Shufei."

After Chen Ping finished speaking, he thought about it and added: "Uncle Xiao said so too."

For this answer, if it were a slightly younger girl, they might be coquettish and poor, but Concubine Xiao had already passed that stage. Although in her heart, she puts her feelings for Chen Ping first, she is very mature after all, so she can analyze rationally when facing problems.

Concubine Xiao was surprised at first, then thought about it carefully before sighing, "I understand, I just don't ask."

Chen Ping smiled when he heard Xiao Shufei's answer, then reached out and held Xiao Shufei's pretty face, comforted her gently and said, "Don't worry, my sister Shufei, although I can't tell you what you said specifically, I think I can guess what you think, so I can tell you very responsibly that nothing you worry about or what you expect has happened."

Concubine Xiao nodded with satisfaction, then pulled down Chen Ping's hand and said, "Chen Ping, do you still treat me as a teenage girl?"

"Of course not," Chen Ping said, "I just like and care about my sister Shufei, that's all."

"Chen Ping, I'm already very satisfied with you," said Concubine Xiao, and then asked Chen Ping again, "By the way, Chen Ping, I won't talk about this anymore. Is there anything wrong with you coming to me now?"

Chen Ping suddenly patted his forehead and said to Concubine Xiao: "Sister Shufei, look at me and forget the most important thing. In fact, Sister Shufei, it was Uncle Xiao who asked me to call you over here. He would tell you if he had something to do."

"I know Chen Ping, I'll go there now." Concubine Xiao Shu said.

"Then I'll wait for you here too," said Chen Ping.

Concubine Xiao then left the room, and Chen Ping sat down in the room after watching Concubine Xiao go out.

Chen Ping looked up at the ceiling and recalled the question Xiao Hongkun asked him just now. In fact, from the actual situation, Xiao Hongkun’s question was a bit irrelevant. He asked himself how big the official he wanted to be and how big the ambition he had. These two questions were completely unrelated to the current situation of Luzhuang. As a deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, he should not be so bored. He asked these two questions for a purpose, but what is the purpose?

Could it be that Xiao Hongkun thought that he had ulterior motives to get to power with the help of her power?

On the surface, this is true, but for an official who pays attention to heart-wrenching, if he really doubts that he has this purpose, he is afraid that he should take action, otherwise he would have to warn himself verbally, and he would never ask so directly. This is really different from what a deputy secretary of the provincial party committee did.

Chen Ping now couldn't understand Xiao Hongkun's intention after thinking about it. It was not until he was about to get married in the future that he understood what the question Xiao Hongkun asked him today meant, and he also realized that Xiao Hongkun was indeed the head of the local sect in Jiangnan Province. He did have two tricks. At that time, he had already expected that things would develop one day in the future.

But that is all in the future. Chen Ping still can't see through Xiao Hongkun's thoughts now, but Chen Ping is not afraid of him having any ideas about him. This is not that Chen Ping believes in him, but that he believes in his daughter Xiao Shufei.

Chen Ping was waiting in the room. Compared to Concubine Xiao Shu, Chen Ping didn't have so many ideas. He simply thought that Xiao Hongkun should tell Concubine Xiao Shu about some future layout, or to tell Concubine Xiao Shu and Liu He some of his ways of thinking and how to deal with it when encountering something.

After waiting for nearly an hour, Concubine Xiao finally returned to the room. When Chen Ping saw Concubine Xiao coming back, he stood up and asked her, "Sister Shufei, how are you?"

"Fortunately, I think you can guess what my father wants to tell me." Concubine Xiao Shu said.

Chen Ping was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Uncle Xiao has indeed taught Concubine Shu, did you teach you the secrets of how to deal with Liu He?"

Regarding Chen Ping's statement, Concubine Xiao burst out and said, "My father taught me how to deal with the next thing, and also told me about his future layout, but it is not a secret, especially for you, Chen Ping."

"I just said that," Chen Ping said, "Then Sister Shufei, please tell me."

Concubine Xiao blinked and said, "But I don't plan to tell you!"

"Why is this? Is it the same reason as mine?" Chen Ping asked.

"That's not, I just don't think there is any need to tell you." Concubine Xiao Shu said.

Chen Ping thought for a while and said, "But Sister Shufei, if you don't tell me what the hell did Uncle Xiao set up for you, how can I help you and then compete with the upcoming Liu He?"

"Because this time I don't plan to let Chen Ping intervene."

Concubine Xiao said this, which surprised Chen Ping. Then Concubine Xiao continued to explain: "Chen Ping, you are helping me every time you have something to do, making me look like a vase, so this time, can I do it myself?"

"Sister Shufei, how could you be a vase? If you are a vase, then there will be no strong woman in this world who can really do things!" Chen Ping said.

"I know what Chen Ping you mean," said Xiao Shufei, reaching out to touch Chen Ping's cheek, and then saying, "But Chen Ping, think about it, if you are in front of me every time there is something in the officialdom, then how can you get me exercise? If I can't get exercise, how can I be competent for my higher position in the future? If I can't be competent for my higher position in the future, then how can I fulfill our promise and always be your strongest backer and let you hold your thighs?"

Although Concubine Xiao’s words sounded plain, Chen Ping could hear Concubine Xiao’s strong determination behind the words. On the other hand, Chen Ping also understood that the flowers in the greenhouse would never grow up, and in this dangerous officialdom, officials who had not experienced the ups and downs could not survive, so Chen Ping did not intend to stop anything.

So, Chen Ping nodded and said, "Okay, Sister Shufei, I understand. But Sister Shufei, you have to promise me that if something happens in the officialdom is an accident that you cannot solve, you must tell me that you can't hold on by yourself, do you know?"

"Don't worry, Chen Ping, I still remember our promise. I will not let myself get into trouble before it is fulfilled." Concubine Xiao Shu said.
