The achievements of Qijia Village were all the result of his hard work, so he couldn't let them benefit Qi Shuli for nothing; therefore, no matter what, he was willing to get promoted.
It was through his relative, Secretary Zhang of the county committee, that Qi Shuli intended to transfer Qi Dazhu away, and then he could rightfully become the village secretary.
Now Qijia Village had both the Peach Orchard and the factory; there were plenty of benefits.

Huo Yingjie could vaguely guess the real reason but also understood Secretary Qi's thinking.
