Hua Jing nodded slowly and said, "You mean that you have been developing your career in the local government. Are you interested in developing your career in the central government?"
Ma Ruoxi's eyes suddenly widened. She looked at her mother in disbelief and asked, "Mom, what do you mean? You want to help Li Rui transfer to the National School of Administration? "
Hua Jing smiled but did not say anything. She just looked at Li Rui.
Li Rui was also a little surprised. He smiled and said carefully, "I think it's good to develop my career in the local government. I'm originally from the local government. My resources and connections are all in the local government. I should also take root and develop my career in the local government. I should also contribute to the development of my hometown. Although the capital is good, it has nothing to do with me. At least, I won't consider it before I'm 40. "
Hua Jing praised, "Xiao Rui, you're very clear-headed and stable. I'm very happy to have a student like you. Many leaders in the local government feel that there are more powerful officials in the capital and more potential backers. As the saying goes, 'the pavilion closest to the water enjoys the moonlight first'. They are always dreaming of 'once favored, three generations will benefit'. They are all racking their brains to get into the capital. For this, they are unscrupulous and even commit crimes. But in reality, it's not the case. The capital is actually harder to survive. In comparison, it's easier to develop in the local government. If you read history books or TV series, you should be able to realize that the officials are usually promoted to the capital after achieving good results in the local government. However, there are very few officials in the various departments in the capital who can hold high positions. The reason is very simple. Most of the officials in the capital work with empty promises while the local officials are pragmatic. Comparing the two, it's naturally easier for the pragmatic to achieve good results. "
Li Rui nodded in agreement. In history, the officials in the various departments in the capital were basically in charge of decision-making, management, planning, dispatching, and investigation. No matter how good they were, they would not be able to show their abilities. As for the local officials, they were at least in charge of a county. Whether it was farming, public security, disaster relief, taxation, labor, or education, if they did well in any aspect, they would be able to show their abilities. Naturally, it would be easier for them to be promoted. It was the same in modern society.
Hua Jing continued, "Actually, I'm already at a certain age. The reason why I'm still working in the School of Administration is that the school's leader hired me to help out. I'm quite popular in the academy, and I have a good relationship with a few of the main leaders. One of them is currently the Vice Principal and will be the next Principal. He's also my student, so there are still people who listen to my words in the academy. Xiao Rui, do your best to develop yourself in Qingyang City. After a few years, you will be promoted to Division Chief. I will think of a way to let you come to the academy to receive a divisional cadre training. It can be considered as gilding you and adding a heavy stroke to your resume. It will be good for your future development. "
When Li Rui heard her say this, he was a little puzzled. Why did she suddenly mention her connections and status in the academy? Show off? It shouldn't be. This gentle and steady old professor never showed off anything. But if she wasn't showing off, what did she mean? After listening to the last part, he suddenly realized that she was trying to raise him on purpose. Well, that was one of the top cadre training schools in the country. It was on par with the Central Party School in the country as the top cadre training school in the country. Every time he went there for training, he would be plated with platinum, or even the krypton gold found on outer space planets. It was not an exaggeration to say that he could be promoted from a Director to a Deputy Director just by the graduation certificate of this school. Thinking of the old lady's favor and love for him, he was shocked and touched. For a moment, his throat was choked, and his eyes were red. He was so excited that he could not say anything.
Sitting next to him, Ma Ruoxi was also a little shocked. She looked at her mother in disbelief and suspected that she was the mother of another person, such as Li Rui's mother. Why was she so nice to Li Rui? She was almost as good as his biological mother, but she had only trained Li Rui for less than a month. They could barely be considered as teacher and student. How deep could their relationship be? She couldn't help but mutter, "Mom, you're too nice to Li Rui. As your daughter, I'm jealous!"
Hua Jing smiled gently and said, "How can this be considered nice? Xiao Rui and I were teacher and student. As his teacher, it's natural for me to do something for his development in my lifetime. Speaking of which, Xiao Rui is a really good child. He's very sensible and kind. I like him very much. It's a pity that the lowest level of training in our academy is Division Chief. Otherwise, I could get a place for him. As far as I know, for a cadre's development, there's a big difference between having the training experience in our academy and not. "
Ma Ruoxi said angrily, "Of course there's a difference. You said before that every province would be thankful if they could get a place for a training course. Some provinces don't even get a place. You can imagine how much attention those who get a place will receive when they return to their provinces after the training. Mom, you're too nice to Li Rui. Let me tell you, I'm jealous. You're my mother. Why do I feel like you've become Li Rui's mother now? Why don't you just acknowledge him as your son? "
Hua Jing looked at Li Rui with a smile and said, "Who would acknowledge a son? It's better to acknowledge a godson!"
Li Rui's heart was blessed. All the hair on his body stood on end and all the pores on his body were closed. Blood rushed to the top of his head and he said almost subconsciously, "Professor Hua, do I have the honor to be your godson? I also like you very much … No, I love and respect you. I'm willing to acknowledge you as my godson! "
Hua Jing looked at him lovingly and said with a smile, "I'm just an old lady who doesn't have anything and everything. What's there to be honored about being acknowledged as my godson? That means you're willing. Alright, I'll acknowledge you. From now on, we're mother and daughter. "
Li Rui was so excited that he didn't know what to do. He asked stupidly, "You're … you're acknowledging me just like that? No … no formal ceremony? "
Ma Ruoxi looked at the conversation between the two in a daze. Her beautiful face had two words written on it with an exaggerated expression: I'm going to faint!
Hua Jing waved her hand and said, "I'm not a busybody and I don't like those complicated formalities. It's fine as long as I acknowledge you in my heart. The most important thing about becoming a godson is friendship. Other details are not important."
Li Rui was wild with joy. He stood up and was about to move when he realized that there was a dining table in front of him.
Hua Jing asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
Li Rui said embarrassedly, "I want to kowtow to you, Godmother."
Hua Jing couldn't help but laugh. She waved her hand and said, "There's no need. Sit down!"
Li Rui sat back down under Ma Ruoxi's disdainful gaze. He blushed and thought for a while. He raised his glass and said with a smile, "Then I'll toast to you, Godmother. Thank you for acknowledging me as your godson. I also wish you good health and all the best!"
"That's acceptable!"
Hua Jing smiled and raised her glass. They both drank the wine in their glasses. From then on, the two of them changed from teacher and student to mother and son.
Ma Ruoxi stared at the two of them and put down her glass. She said, "I say, you two became godson just like that. Have you ever considered my feelings?"
Li Ruixin's head suddenly jumped. He was finished. He was so focused on becoming a godson with Hua Jing that he neglected the existence of this sister. She was originally his old love. Once he and Hua Jing became a godson, she would become his godson. How would they get along with each other in the future? Oh, he didn't consider everything. He was finished. It would be awkward in the future. Ma Ruoxi must have considered this point and said that.
Hua Jing smiled and said to Ma Ruoxi, "Why should I consider your feelings? How do you feel? Jealous? Jealous? "
Ma Ruoxi rolled her eyes at Li Rui charmingly and said, "Why would I be jealous? I was just joking when I said I was jealous. I mean, he can become a godson with you, but becoming a godson is equivalent to becoming a part of our family. He has to get the approval of my family, which is represented by me. So before he becomes a part of our family, he should give me a gift and make me happy before I agree."
Li Rui smiled and said, "I can give you a gift, but I don't have any. Can we do it next time?"
Hua Jing said, "Next time then. I don't have anything good on me to give Xiao Rui as a gift. I can only wait for next time."
Li Rui was flattered and quickly said, "Godmother, you are already very good to me. You don't have to give me any more gifts."
Hua Jing smiled and stood up. "Don't worry about this … I'm going to the bathroom. You two enjoy your meal."
Li Rui acutely guessed that she might be going to the counter to pay the bill. He quickly stood up and said, "I'm going too!"
Hua Jing went around the table and pushed him back. She smiled and said, "Wait for me to come back." Then she left.
Li Rui looked at her to see if she was going to the bathroom or the counter. Suddenly, he felt a pain in his calf. He had been kicked. He turned around and saw Ma Ruoxi glaring at him. He smiled and said, "Why did you kick me?"
Ma Ruoxi said fiercely in a low voice, "Why did I kick you? You deserve it! You deserve it! You're a little smart, aren't you? You climbed up the stairs when you were given a ladder. My mom only said that she would accept a godson, but she didn't say that she would accept you. You're so thick-skinned that you want to acknowledge her as your godmother. Don't you know our relationship? You still recognize her as your godmother. Don't you feel embarrassed? Besides, how are we going to get along with each other in the future? Is there water in your brain? "
Li Rui explained awkwardly, "Our relationship is different. Professor Hua and I are like mother and son, but with you … we are like before."
Ma Ruoxi scolded, "Get lost! Do you believe that when my mother comes back, she will make me call you Godfather? In the future, we will be brother and sister. If we are still like before, it will be incestuous! You idiot! "
Li Rui smiled and said, "Then we will just be brother and sister in the future."
Ma Ruoxi scolded, "Get lost. Do you think that's possible?" She kicked him under the table and scolded, "I really want to kick you idiot to death!"
