[R18] Lianqing(NP) – “Lian Qing (NP)” Chapter 247 [English]

【Text line】Guardian

It was 8 o’clock in the morning when Ji Qing woke up the next day. The bed beside him was still warm. It must be that Ji Tingqin hadn’t been gone for too long.

She lifted up the quilt and got up and went downstairs to have breakfast. At this time, Jiang Lianming was yelling at Ji Tingqin.

In the Jiang family’s conference room, he slapped the table and stood up. The sound made the pen on the table tremble.

“You want me to give up my joint report!?”

Ji Tingqin sat opposite he, his expression unchanged at all, and he didn’t even move his hands.

Jiang Dongyue felt a little uneasy sitting next to Jiang Lianming. After all, he had experienced too few scenes like this, so Jiang Dongxian stood up and grabbed Jiang Lianming.

“Dad, let’s hear what Ji Wei has to say first.”

Jiang Lianming was extremely angry, but the meaning of Jiang Dongxian’s words was also obvious. Whether it was before or now, Ji Tingqin was their leader. Even if he was not directly connected, he could not speak like this.

Jiang Dongxian patted Jiang Lianming on the back. After about five minutes, Jiang Lianming’s breathing calmed down and he sat on the chair, his tone still very bad.

“Then please ask Committee Member Ji to share your opinion.”

Ji Tingqin raised his hand, and Meng Jianqun, who had been waiting aside, immediately placed the compiled information in front of Jiang Lianming.

“Deputy Director Jiang, please.”

Jiang Lianming picked it up and started to look through it. At first, he still had an angry expression, but as he turned the pages, he slowly became colder. In the end, he even completely lost his anger and replaced it with a frowning expression.

After seeing he finished flipping through the documents, Ji Tingqin spoke slowly.

“Deputy Director Jiang, I think you should understand that one hit is sure to hit.”

After speaking, Ji Tingqin looked at Jiang Lianming and waited for he’s answer. Although Jiang Lianming was upright, he was not stupid, so he naturally knew what Ji Tingqin wanted to express.

Now that they have this information in their hands, they need to do it once and for all, instead of breaking it into pieces, making a joint report that is very likely to be prevaricated, and it is also easy to alert the snake.

Before this information was available, a joint report was the best way Jiang Lianming could think of, but he had never bowed to anyone in his life and was not loyal to any faction, so even a joint report would not cause a real huge wave.

But Ji Tingqin was different. He got up step by step and had countless colleagues and close friends. If Ai Xianguo was willing to support him, then he would have a high chance of success.

The people present were all very knowledgeable people, so they didn’t say anything more. They stood up and shook hands, but Ji Tingqin said something before leaving.

“This kid from Dongyue is not suitable for general administration. Let him recover from his injuries and let him follow me.”

Jiang Dongyue stood up in shock. Jiang Dongxian winked at him several times before he nodded and bowed.

“Thank you, Brother Tingqin.”

Ji Tingqin nodded, and Jiang Dongxian followed him out to see him off.

The two stood at the door, while Meng Jianqun was guarding not far away to prevent others from approaching.

“Commissioner Ji, now that this matter has been decided, should we send Qingqing abroad? I’m worried…”

Jiang Dongxian frowned and asked, Ji Tingqin also frowned, but his tone remained calm.

“I know, I will consider this matter, you take good care of your father.”

Hearing this, Jiang Dongxian took a step back, then stood at attention, saluted and watched Ji Tingqin leave.

Meng Jianqun opened the car door, Ji Tingqin got into the back seat of the car, and the car started slowly. Jiang Dongxian didn’t put his hand down until the back of the car disappeared.

After leaving Jiang’s house, Ji Tingqin asked the driver to drive to Ai’s house.

In total, he hadn’t seen Ai Xianguo in almost four months. When he went there, Ai Xianguo was tending flowers and plants in the backyard. When he saw Ji Tingqin, he smiled as before.

“Ting Qin is here, come and sit in the room.”

Ji Tingqin gave a straight salute and then put it down, then followed Ai Xianguo into the house. The backyard door was open, and the two of them sat in front of the door. Someone quickly brought tea.

The steaming steam of tea swirled upwards. Ai Xianguo picked up the teacup and took a sip, his tone as usual.

“We haven’t seen each other for so long. Why do you suddenly think of looking for Uncle Ai?”

Ji Tingqin put his hands on his thighs, sitting in a standard military posture, and did not answer Ai Xianguo’s question.

Ai Xianguo put down his cup and leaned back.

“Ting Qin, I have also heard about Xiao Qing and the Jiang family’s child. Please listen to my advice. For the best of everything, send Xiao Qing and the child abroad to relax. It will be fine in three to five years.”

Ji Tingqin still didn’t speak, he just picked up the document bag he just brought and handed it to Ai Xianguo.

He was handed over with both hands, head lowered, and the tone was very respectful.

“Uncle Ai, please take a look.”

Although Ai Xianguo was extremely disappointed with Ji Tingqin, after all, he had the friendship between teacher and student and Wangnian friend. After looking at Ji Tingqin for a while, he still put on his glasses and took the document bag.

he flipped through page after page, very seriously, and there was no change in expression throughout the whole process, only an occasional frown, but Ji Tingqin knew that this dignitary who was over fifty years old had already made considerations in his heart.

Sure enough, after closing the file, he took off his glasses and wiped them, and his tone was more solemn.

“Dean Wu gave it to you?”

Ji Tingqin nodded, and Ai Xianguo continued to ask questions.

“Tell me about your opposite.”

Ji Tingqin looked up.

“Cut the grass and roots.”

“How do you eliminate the root cause?”

“Start from the peripheral characters one by one and work your way in.”

Ai Xianguo thought for a moment.

“Ting Qin, you have to know that even if you find out about Ji Zong, you won’t be able to deal with him publicly.”

Ji Tingqin nodded.

“Uncle Ai, Ting Qin knows that internal handling is enough.”

—— What he wants is Ji Qing’s eternal safety, not to tell the world.

Ai Xianguo nodded, and the conversation suddenly changed.

“Tingqin, what about that, have you thought about it clearly?”

Ji Tingqin was silent for a moment. When Ai Xianguo could not help but sigh, he suddenly stood up and half-knelt down in front of Ai Xianguo.

“Uncle Ai, Tingqin will take care of you from now on.”

He knelt down straight, with only his head slightly lowered. Ai Xianguo nodded with satisfaction, not that Ji Tingqin said that he should be the leader. After all, no one in this world is truly loyal. What he was satisfied with was Ji Tingqin’s determination and magnanimity.

“Okay, get up. Don’t say stupid things about quitting again. Brother Ji is the only son like you. Uncle Ai can take care of you every day.”

Ji Tingqin nodded.

“It’s Tingqin who is confused.”

Ai Xianguo nodded repeatedly.

“Okay, okay, okay, Ting Qin, since you have decided to do something, do it immediately, but you have to understand that it may take three years, five years, or even ten years or more. Do you understand?”

“Ting Qin understands.”

——Three to five years is a very fast time to do this kind of thing.

“As long as you understand, Ting Qin, since you have made the decision, Uncle Ai will also explain to you clearly the matter between you and Xiao Qing today.”

“If you just want to stay where you are now, then Uncle Ai will advise you to put Xiaoqing in a safe place. As long as it doesn’t affect your future, Uncle Ai doesn’t want to interfere in your family affairs, but now…”

Speaking of this, Ai Xianguo’s tone was particularly serious and he even patted Ji Tingqin on the shoulder.

“Ting Qin, it’s time to stop.”

After hearing this, Ji Tingqin squeezed his hands tightly. After about ten minutes, he finally bowed ninety degrees to Ai Xianguo.

[The author has something to say] In fact, I basically wrote about why my brother made this decision, but I didn’t write it together to make an overview, because these things are not suitable to be written explicitly in the article. Some readers may not be very clear about it. Here is a summary for everyone~

1. Zhang Jizong was only exiled for five years, and the truth was suppressed under the iceberg by Wu Ting’s death and will never be revealed.

2. The Jiang family lost power due to the retirement of Jiang’s father. Ai Xianguo just stood on the sidelines until his brother asked him to show his loyalty. Therefore, only his brother and the determined Dongxian could support the situation.

3. If the elder brother wants to protect Qingqing, he must move forward. If he goes forward, he will inevitably be separated from Qingqing, because the elder brother will not let Qingqing be a lover who humblely waits for him in the room all his life.
