Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 679 - 378: Deputy Speaker Tang Feifei! (10,000 Words for Monthly Ticket!)_2
Qiu Tu speculated that the Tang family should have already prepared the resources to help Tang Feifei achieve her political accomplishments.
If Qiu Tu could not help Tang Feifei, they could easily come in and fill the hole.
Then they would let Tang Feifei see Qiu Tu's "true colors" and prevent her from being "brainwashed" by Qiu Tu anymore.
The advantage of this approach is that they do not need to conflict with Tang Feifei, trigger her rebelliousness, nor do they need to spend time persuading her.
Everything just requires Tang Feifei to see and experience for herself.
And if Qiu Tu could provide the resources for Tang Feifei to accomplish her political achievements,
then they would benefit even more: Tang Feifei being able to secure the position of Deputy Speaker was, in itself, a victory for the Fengtian Faction.
Moreover, the Fengtian Faction would save the resources that were to be used to help Tang Feifei, which could be allocated to other key figures they were cultivating.
And maybe... they might even win back a capable or resourceful son-in-law.
How could this not be considered a grand profit?
Therefore, when Qiu Tu figured out the Tang family's intentions, he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration: what effortless grace and style of the greats.
Such a maneuver was definitely not something that people like Tang Jiancha could come up with. It must have been crafted by Tang Feifei's father, or even Elder Tang himself.
And furthermore... it was a stratagem in plain sight.
They are not afraid of Qiu Tu seeing through the ruse. Whether he sees through it or not, if Qiu Tu wants Tang Feifei to be promoted and himself to become the Acting Bureau Chief, he must respond.
There was simply no other choice.
After all, he had already tied himself to Tang Feifei.
'Great master indeed....'
However... it was precisely because of grappling with a master that it was interesting.
So, Qiu Tu smiled, picked up the teacup in front of him, drained it in one gulp, and then said, "Fine. I accept this deal!"
"Wait for our good news."
After finishing, Qiu Tu couldn't be bothered to continue chatting with Guo Huai.
He had realized that Guo Huai was indeed as steady as Tang Feifei had described him.
Stable like an old tortoise, almost revealing no flaws, proceeding step by step.
Although there might not be any great accomplishments, there wouldn't be any mistakes either; it was a dignified rolling forward....
Frankly... Qiu Tu was most annoyed by such opponents. After all, he was too weak at the moment; upon encountering a powerful enemy, he must look for loopholes.
But Guo Huai was precisely the type to completely outplay him. Instead of wasting time with Guo Huai here, he might as well think of ways to help Tang Feifei achieve her political accomplishments....
.....
Meanwhile, after Qiu Tu had left, Guo Huai remained meticulously seated there.
He quietly picked up his teacup and drank down its contents.
Only then did he take out a specially made communicator and make a call.
After a while, the call connected.
Only then did Guo Huai respectfully say to the person on the other end, "Elder Tang, I have met with Qiu Tu."
Elder Tang on the phone answered with a faint "Hmm," and then inquired, "What's your assessment?"
After pondering, Guo Huai spoke impartially, "He's quick-witted, realizing many things without needing hints."
"Very capable and also bold, willing to take responsibility."
Hearing Guo Huai's words, Elder Tang chuckled and jested, "You rate him quite highly."
Guo Huai replied calmly, "Not at all. Actually... I don't like him very much."
"Because his personality is the opposite of mine. He obviously likes to take an unconventional approach."
At this point, Guo Huai paused, as if something occurred to him, and then added softly, "If Li Tingdong met him, he would probably like him a lot."
"They share similar characters."
Hearing this, Elder Tang went silent for a moment.
Then, he said earnestly, "Guo Huai... I am aware of your abilities and have high hopes for you."
"This time, not becoming the Deputy Speaker was not your fault. You must keep a proper mindset and continue to wait for opportunities."
"Just like Feifei's case this time, becoming the Deputy Speaker prematurely doesn't necessarily mean it's a good thing."
"Stepping forward too soon might lead to unforeseen pressures."
"Sometimes, taking time to sharpen oneself may allow one to walk further and more steadily in the future."
Upon hearing this, Guo Huai immediately responded respectfully, "Yes, Elder Tang."
Elder Tang paused, then added, "Of course... there seems to be something off about Feifei's matter."
"From your description, that young man named Qiu Tu does not seem like someone who is ruthless in climbing up the ladder to the extent of even sacrificing Feifei's future."
"So... there might be more to it."
Concluding, he instructed, "Guo Huai, pay close attention to them in Dongye State. Report back to me anytime there's any news."
Hearing Elder Tang's words, Guo Huai promptly accepted the order.
And so, the two exchanged a few more words casually and ended the call.
After hanging up the phone, Guo Huai sat quietly in the teahouse for a while, drinking another cup of tea, and then picked up the communicator again, dialing a number.
Shortly, the number connected, and Guo Huai called out, "Shouye."
Clearly, he was reaching out to Tang Feifei's second uncle, Tang Shouye.
Then, Guo Huai recounted the entire conversation he had with Qiu Tu to Tang Jiancha.
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.
Compared to Elder Tang's insight, Tang Jiancha was clearly lacking.
He said somewhat resentfully, "Well, it's good that this kid knows his place! He agreed to the deal!"
"If he had refused, then that would have really shown that Feifei was blind!"
"The major reason why Feifei wants to become the Deputy Speaker is to create an opening for him."
"Now let's see what he plans to do next."
