Chapter 781: A Show of Power
The Municipal Party Committee’s staff housing compound does not allow outside vehicles to enter, so the car was stopped at the door. Sun Baiqing glanced at the door and did not see anyone coming to pick him up, so his face looked gloomy.
The guard stepped forward, saluted, and said, "Hello, comrade. We need to know the purpose of your visit."
Sun Baiqing rolled down the window. "Hello, comrade. I'm Sun Baiqing, the principal of Red Star Primary School. I'd like to visit the deputy mayor's family who live here. We've already made an appointment. Here's my ID and a letter of introduction from my employer."
The guard took the ID, confirmed that there was no problem, and returned it to Sun Baiqing, raising his hand to signal for him to pass.
The car drove into the compound. Sun Baiqing put his ID back into his bag and snorted, "Fortunately, I was prepared. The person who promised to pick me up is really unreliable."
Ye Rou said calmly, "This is a show of force."
Sun Baiqing snorted and laughed: "It's really incomprehensible. It's not like I asked them to do anything."
She became angrier and angrier as she spoke. After the car stopped by the roadside, she got out and slammed the door.
Chang Hua was extremely sensitive to emotions. When she heard the sound of the car door being smashed, she approached Ye Rou and grabbed the corner of Ye Rou's clothes with her little hand.
Chang Fu also hid behind Ye Rou. He was nearly 1.8 meters tall, but his eyes were exceptionally clear, and he looked timid like a little child.
Ye Rou rubbed Chang Hua's head, patted Chang Fu's shoulder, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, it's okay, she's not angry with you."
After calming the two children, Ye Rou asked the angry Sun Baiqing, "Do you know Li Cheng's address?"
Sun Baiqing's expression froze and he let out an awkward laugh.
Ye Rou understood, looked up at the big sun hanging in the sky, took off her straw hat and put it on Chang Hua, and said helplessly: "Find a shady place and wait."
Standing under the shade of a tree while holding the two children, Ye Rou looked around Xi Zhou.
If the mute woman comes, where might she hide?
There are people checking the entrances and exits, so it would be difficult for the mute woman to sneak in, so she might be hiding near the compound.
After waiting for a while, no one came down to pick me up.
Sun Baiqing's hair was sticky to his forehead, and he couldn't suppress his anger.
A qualified businessman does not mind groveling before anyone as long as it is profitable, let alone the deputy mayor, who is one level higher in rank and can crush anyone.
But the premise is that Ye Rou should not be involved.
It's okay to show her off, but it will also cause Ye Rou to be exposed to the scorching sun. Sun Baiqing's facial muscles tightened, and he suppressed his anger and said, "Since they are not sincere, I don't think there is any need to talk anymore. Let's go back!"
However, don't think she is a soft persimmon that is easy to be bullied!
When I get back, I'll invite reporters from ten or eight media outlets to make the deputy mayor's family famous!
Without peeling off a layer of skin from them, she would write the three words "Sun Baiqing" upside down!
Sun Baiqing immediately walked towards the car, but was stopped after taking only two steps.
She turned back impatiently and saw that the person coming was a young man wearing a gray well-fitting suit with a serious face. He walked straight towards Ye Rou.
Sun Baiqing subconsciously stood in front of Ye Rou and said, "Comrade, what can I do for you?"
The young man introduced himself, "Hello, Miss Ye. I'm Mayor Du's secretary. You can just call me Xiao Zhang. Mayor Du asked me to take you to Vice Mayor Li's house."
Mayor Du’s secretary?
Sun Baiqing glanced at the young man suspiciously.
The young man nodded in a friendly manner with a smile on his face.
Sun Baiqing approached Ye Rou and asked, "Do you know Mayor Du?"
"We've dealt with each other before." Ye Rou nodded, looked at the young man and said, "Sorry for the trouble."
The young man walked in front to lead the way, and Ye Rou and his group followed behind.
Jiang Ruoliu glanced at the time again, feeling a little impatient, and said, "Yayun, is it okay?"
Li Yayun sat on the sofa, holding her belly, eating a plate of bright red cherries in her arms. She snorted coldly when she heard this:
"Aunt, why are you so anxious? Things like this need to be left alone. If you rush things, they'll think you're desperate and they'll definitely ask for too much and make unreasonable demands on your uncle."
"It's the same when buying things. No matter how much you like something, you can't show it. That way it will be easier to bargain."
Jiang Ruoliu was persuaded and hesitantly sat back on the sofa: "What if they get angry and take me away first?"
Li Yayun hid the pride in her eyes: It would be best if he left, then she would have less trouble.
But she said, "If they can't stand this, it means they are not sincere. With my uncle's current status, it's just a matter of saying a word if he wants to adopt a child. It doesn't mean he has to have that child."
Jiang Ruoliu disagreed, "That little girl and I have a good eye for each other. No, we can't wait any longer. I'll go down and get her."
Li Yayun quickly stood up to stop him: "Why are you going down? If you have to go, let Huang Ma go."
The nanny who was waiting nearby immediately responded with a smile, "Madam, I'll go down and get the person up."
As soon as he finished speaking, the doorbell suddenly rang.
The three people in the room were stunned at the same time. Li Yayun's eyes turned cold and she said sarcastically, "You are really capable. You actually came to our door on your own."
"Yayun!" Jiang Ruoliu disagreed, "When someone comes in, you should be nicer."
Li Yayun agreed reluctantly.
Jiang Ruoliu looked at Huang Ma.
When the doorbell rang for the second time, Huang Ma went forward and opened the door.
Seeing the person outside, Huang Ma was startled at first, then she forced a smile and raised her voice to remind the people in the room, "Secretary Zhang, why are you here?"
When Jiang Ruoliu heard Secretary Zhang's words, her expression changed slightly, and even Li Yayun became nervous.
The two of them hurried to the door and were stunned to see that the young man standing outside was Mayor Du's secretary.
Jiang Ruoliu reacted and hurried forward and said, "Secretary Zhang, my husband hasn't come back yet. Is there something wrong?"
Secretary Zhang said in a gentle voice, "I'm here to bring Miss Ye over."
After saying this, he slightly turned sideways to reveal the two people standing behind him.
When Jiang Ruoliu suddenly saw Ye Rou, her eyes lit up.
It’s nothing, the young woman in front of him is just too beautiful.
Her skin was as white as snow, her lips were bright red, she was so beautiful that she seemed to be enchanting. Her figure was well-proportioned, and when she stood outside the door, the dilapidated corridor became seven points brighter.
"Why are you here!" Li Yayun suddenly raised her voice and brought Jiang Ruoliu back to her senses.
"Yayun, do you know each other?"
Li Yayun looked at Ye Rou with anger in her eyes.
"It was she who caused Tang Sheng's family to be arrested!"
If it weren't for her, how could Tang Sheng's family be arrested? She was also worried and had to stay in the public security bureau for a night. When had she ever suffered such a hardship!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Li Yayun, who was already short-tempered, picked up the vase from the shelf and held it high.
Secretary Zhang stood in front of Ye Rou, his face stern: "Comrade, what are you going to do?"
Seeing Secretary Zhang protecting Ye Rou, Jiang Ruoliu immediately grabbed Li Yayun and said, "It's a misunderstanding, Yayun, put it down!"
She squeezed Li Yayun's hand with great force. Li Yayun's delicate skin could not bear the pain, and her hand holding the vase loosened. Huang Ma took the opportunity to grab it back and put it back on the shelf.
The movements were so smooth and flowing that Ye Rou wanted to applaud them.
Secretary Zhang was still standing in front of Ye Rou, looking at Li Yayun warily.
After Jiang Ruoliu repeatedly said it was a misunderstanding, he retracted his gaze and said softly, "Miss Ye, I will take you here."
Ye Rou thanked him, "Secretary Zhang, thank you."
Secretary Zhang nodded, gave Li Yayun a warning look, and then left.
