Bai Xuefeng explained, "I later heard that Li Lin and He Shuping's son He Tianming were jealous of our Xiaojie, and they had a big fight. He Tianming was beaten by Li Lin and was hospitalized... Li Lin got away with it, but He Shuping didn't even have the courage to ask him for the final settlement. This doesn't prove that He Shuping is just a paper tiger, with nothing but a show. He is not as powerful as we thought."

Yu Xiaoyun thought it made sense and nodded silently. Suddenly, she thought of a question and asked, "So, can we ask Li Lin for help with Xiaojie's case? After all, they were in love before. If this guy still has some feelings for her, maybe he will help Xiaojie transfer back to the city..."

When saying this, Yu Xiaoyun herself was unsure. She knew that she had been too unfriendly to Li Lin in the past, and she didn't know whether Li Lin would hold a grudge against her.

Bai Xuefeng smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "What are you thinking? After Li Lin was demoted, neither of us treated him well, and Xiao Jie broke up with him when he was most helpless... He must be deeply hurt by us. It's good enough that he doesn't regard us as enemies. How could he help us?"

Yu Xiaoyun sighed silently and stopped talking. She felt ashamed when she thought of her bad attitude towards Li Lin in the past... How she wished she could turn back time and keep this good son-in-law.

While sighing, she was thinking quickly in her mind, trying to find a feasible way to help Bai Jie transfer back to the city.

Suddenly, she thought of someone.

She said to Bai Xuefeng in surprise, "Old Bai, how about this... Li Lin has a good relationship with Director Chen of our hospital. How about we stay out of the way and let Director Chen go to Li Lin to plead for him?"

Chen Hongxing?

Bai Xuefeng of course knew him.

It is certainly feasible to let Chen Hongxing go to Li Lin to plead for mercy.

But what is uncertain now is whether Li Lin has the ability to help Bai Jie with the mobilization.

Bai Xuefeng nodded and said, "That's a solution, but don't rush. Let's wait for Director Peng to call us back and see what happens."

Coincidentally, as soon as Bai Xuefeng finished speaking, Peng Xiaoya called.

Bai Xuefeng quickly signaled Yu Xiaoyun to be quiet, answered the phone, and asked impatiently, "Director Peng, is there any news about Xiaojie?"

Peng Xiaoya sighed and said, "Old Bai, this matter is a bit complicated. I have discussed it with Director Liang. He said that we have to wait for the right time and it cannot be done now."

Hearing this, Bai Xuefeng was immediately poured with cold water. He sat back on the sofa dejectedly and sighed, "Director Peng, is there any other way? Otherwise, I will find a place to arrange a table tonight and invite Director Liang to have a drink? Or I can go to Director Liang's house in the next two days?"

What he meant was to let Peng Xiaoya know that for the sake of his daughter's affairs, he was willing to spend money and give gifts as long as he could get the job done.

Peng Xiaoya advised him, "Old Bai, this is not a matter of dinner or gifts. With my relationship with Director Liang, he would not refuse any request. It seems that he is really in trouble. I think you should do as Director Liang said for the time being and wait and see."

All hopes were lost.

Bai Xuefeng knew that Peng Xiaoya would not play tricks on him and that she was telling the truth.

He closed his eyes helplessly and asked weakly, "Director Peng, I want to ask one last question. Director Liang said to wait... How long do we have to wait?"

This question stumped Peng Xiaoya.

At that time, Director Liang did not tell him exactly how long he would have to wait, it could be a few months, or it could be a year or two...

But this answer was too cruel for Bai Xuefeng, who loved his daughter dearly.

Peng Xiaoya could only answer vaguely, "From what Director Liang said, it should be soon, but he didn't say how long we have to wait. Lao Bai, you should do a good job of convincing Xiao Jie and let her bear with it for a while."

Without a clear time, it means that this matter has no hope, but there is still a glimmer of hope.

Even the director of the Municipal Education Bureau cannot give a definite answer. It is probably useless to ask anyone for help!

Bai Xuefeng thought about this and suddenly fell into despair.

He took a deep breath, calmed himself down as much as possible, and said to Peng Xiaoya, "Director Peng, thank you for making this trip. We still have to drink. Let's find a chance and call Director Liang to have a gathering."

Peng Xiaoya said ashamedly, "Drinking is a small matter. The main thing is that I wanted to help you get things done, but I didn't. I feel very bad. Lao Bai, think of another way!"

After hearing this, Bai Xuefeng knew that Peng Xiaoya's path was cut off and he could no longer count on him to transfer Bai Jie back to the city.

He forced himself to cheer up, smiled and said, "Director Peng, we have known each other for so many years, why are you still being polite to me? Whether the task is completed or not, I will remember your kindness in my heart. If you need me in the future, just let me know."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Xuefeng slumped down on the sofa and sighed deeply. He thought to himself, I have done many good things for people around me in my life, so why is it so difficult to do something for myself when it is my turn?

As soon as Yu Xiaoyun saw Bai Xuefeng's expression, she knew that the task must have not been accomplished.

She squinted her eyes and thought about it, and made up her mind to go to her leader Chen Hongxing tomorrow and ask him to ask Li Lin to think of a way to transfer Bai Jie back to the city.

But she could only do this without telling Bai Xuefeng, because Bai Xuefeng was too concerned about his reputation. If he knew that she had asked someone to plead with Li Lin, he would definitely get angry.

Having made up her mind, Yu Xiaoyun stood up and walked to the balcony, opened the front and back windows, and told Bai Xuefeng to smoke less in the house in the future... After Bai Jie gets married and has children, she won't be able to stand the smell of cigarettes at all.

Thinking that Bai Jie would be able to live with him after marriage, Bai Xuefeng smiled and replied repeatedly, "Okay, it's time to quit smoking. It would be bad if my grandchildren were to be smelled by my cigarette when they hold their grandchildren..."
