Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Qiu Shujuan’s Secret

"Bro, don’t underestimate this woman!"

Ji Yang began to take Xun Liqiang seriously again, realizing that this man seemed clueless; without knowing he was going to fall, he would never have opened up about these things.

"Are there things about this woman that we don’t know about?" Ji Yang asked, equally curious.

Having downed a hefty drink, Xun Liqiang said, "Everyone says I’ve advanced by relying on women, but really, how could there be promotions without a reason?"

Ji Yang also drank, obviously understanding the implication; he too had advanced thanks to Chu Shuyuan.

Xun Liqiang continued, "Actually, it doesn’t matter who you climb up with, what’s important is finding that support!"

Without waiting for Ji Yang to reply, he went on, "That lady used to be a college student who worked nightlife, can you imagine that?"

This...

Ji Yang really found it hard to believe.

Seeing Ji Yang’s expression, Xun Liqiang burst into laughter and said, "I didn’t believe it at first either until my ex-wife told me. That woman started going to nightlife in college, then later became a mistress of a big shot, and despite her innocent looks, she’d been with numerous men."

"That’s wrong, how did she ever enter the civil service?"

"Her man is no simpleton; putting someone into civil service is like child’s play for him. Despite the so-called transparency now, just a few transfers and a couple of modifications in the files cover everything up."

"They can do that? Aren’t they afraid someone will spill the beans?"

"Everything is under their control; no one can say it’s irregular, everything is documented, and there are people to testify."

Ji Yang fell silent.

Indeed, many things are just as they are, the common folk see only what they are meant to see.

Xun Liqiang clinked glasses with Ji Yang, took a big sip, and smiled, "She’s very clever, that Qiu Shujuan, never competing or quarreling, always acting appropriately. Wherever she goes, she’s well-regarded."

"This time, her man?"

"He’s fallen."

"Does that mean Qiu Shujuan will be in trouble too?"

After glancing at Ji Yang, Xun Liqiang laughed loudly, "She’s clever, not relying on just one supporter; this man falls, and quickly, another man takes his place. In this regard, this woman really knows how to play the game; I admire her."

Ji Yang didn’t even know what to say.

Xun Liqiang continued, "If it weren’t for my ex-wife mentioning her, and intentionally having people watch her, I really wouldn’t have known about some of her situations. Bro, I wouldn’t have told anyone about this under normal circumstances, but since I’ve lost all hope now, I might as well tell you. Just be careful yourself; keeping quiet often leads to big achievements!"

Ji Yang’s mind was filled with Qiu Shujuan’s situation.

It must be said that this woman really knew how to act—the way she generally displayed such tenderness and non-competitiveness, that pure demeanor had even convinced him she wasn’t married, yet she turned out to be a master manipulator.

Xun Liqiang laughed, "I admire how well she plays it, knowing a woman from the pleasure quarters could mask herself so well, no one would ever guess."

"Aren’t they afraid someone will recognize her?"

"If you pay attention, you’ll find that her appearance is changing. She spends quite a bit on plastic surgery every year, and she’s even changed her name. Even her family has moved from their original place; the person she is now is totally different from who she used to be."

Well, I’ll be damned!

Ji Yang shook his head, amazed at how she could change identities entirely, not just faking some ID, but through plastic surgery.

"Wasn’t this woman so pretty before, but now, don’t you just want to take her to bed after seeing her?" Xun Liqiang laughed heartily, not holding back anymore.

"Beautiful women do have their place in the bureaucracy!" Ji Yang remarked.

"Right, she knows how to play her cards. Probably only that man who has always been helping her knows her true situation. If anything happens to that man, almost no one would know her past, because it’s all been concealed by him."

Ji Yang was taken aback and looked toward Xun Liqiang.

"If I hadn’t found out her situation first-hand, and my ex-wife hadn’t known some details and followed up with an investigation uncovering her secret, anyone else might never have realized it was the same person."

"Your ex-wife?" Ji Yang wanted to ask something but didn’t manage to.

"Don’t worry, I know what you want to ask. Yes, my ex-wife also knew how to play!" These words seemed to sour Xun Liqiang’s mood as he took a big swig of his drink.

Ji Yang realized then that Xun Liqiang’s ex-wife must also be a complicated woman, something Xun Liqiang must be well aware of.

"Bro, today I’ve opened up to you, hoping that if one day you make it big, you’ll lend a brother a hand!"
