In the Name of the People: From the Start, I Marry the Zhao Family's Daughter and Rise Through the Ranks

Hard work pays off! From the start, I married Zhao Lichun's second daughter. Has my life as Jiang Ming suddenly gone into cheat mode?

No, I'm here to clean up the mess!

There's still a year until Zhao Lichun is transferred away and Sha Ruijin arrives from above.

Qi Tongwei calls to cozy up to me: "Brother Jiang, how about a couple of drinks at Shanshui Manor tonight?"

Jiang Ming: "Director Qi, perfect timing. Could you help cover our equipment shortfall?"

Gao Xiaoqin comes to see me in person, smiling from ear to ear as she discusses a partnership.

Jiang Ming points to her judgment: "You're the legal representative of Dafeng Factory now. Have you paid the wages of those 1,300 workers?"

Li Dakang calls me in for a talk: "Jiang Ming, what happens if you carry on like this and all the investors run off?"

Jiang Ming hands him a list: "Secretary Li, these are the itineraries for delegations from three state-owned enterprises. Which day are you free to receive them?"

Zhao Lichun asks Jiang Ming: "Aren't you afraid of making enemies by stirring things up like this?"

Jiang Ming smiles. "Dad, what do I have to fear? Don't I have you backing me?"

Zhao Lichun glares at Jiang Ming. "Don't try to butter me up!"

Then he turns to his secretary and orders, "Whatever support Xiao Jiang needs, take care of it."
