My heart warmed, and I quickly said, "Thank you, Brother Yue, for your concern. The situation is going well at the moment, and there are basically no major problems."
He nodded gently, his eyes full of trust and encouragement: "That's good. From now on, no matter if it's work or any problems you encounter in your personal life, just tell me. If I can help, I will definitely do my best and will never be vague!"
I lowered my head slightly, with an embarrassed and somewhat helpless expression on my face. After hesitating for a moment, I finally mustered up the courage to speak: "Brother Yue, to be honest, I have something that makes me feel confused, and I want to discuss it with you."
He leaned back slightly on the chair, his hands casually resting on the armrests, looked at me with gentle and caring eyes, and said in a steady tone: "Hongjun, why are you being so polite to me? Just say it."
I took a deep breath, frowned slightly, and said slowly with a heart full of distress: "Brother Yue, it's all because of my woman. She refuses to emigrate. I've tried my best to persuade her, but she just won't listen. No matter how I persuade her, it doesn't work. I really don't have any other ideas now. I'm so upset."
After listening, he nodded gently, his eyes revealing a kind of worldly wisdom and sophistication, his mouth slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile, and slowly said: "Hongjun, I am an experienced person, and I have seen more than you in terms of love and life choices. It is normal for a man to meet a few women in his life. However, these women also have to be divided into different levels. You have to choose the kind that clearly marks the price, is reasonable, knows when to advance and when to retreat, and will not cause trouble for you. Like your one, she has no clear "price" in her heart, and she is stubborn about what she has decided. In the end, she may become a big trouble on your way forward, making it difficult for you to move forward."
He paused for a moment, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and then continued, "I think we can do it this way. As for the immigration procedures, I will help you with them and try to get the documents. As for her, don't force her to leave for now. But you have to be careful and have a sense of security. Once there is any disturbance or trouble here, you must let her go immediately."
A humiliating scene from the Warring States Period suddenly flashed through my mind - a weak country had to send its wives and children as hostages to a powerful country in order to protect itself. The unspeakable depression and resentment surged in my heart, but I dared not show it on my face. I just forced a grateful smile: "Brother Yue, then this matter depends entirely on your concern and care. There is one more thing, the inspection of the Shenhexu Development Zone is really not something I can control. After all, I am just a small role..."
Before I finished speaking, he gently raised his hand and interrupted me, with a look of indifference in his eyes: "Hongjun, you are now on the same boat with me. The incident with Chen Hexu is just a small episode and it doesn't matter. You should be most concerned about Feng Lei now."
I quickly put on a flattering smile, leaned forward slightly, and said flatteringly: "Brother Yue, no matter how much Feng Lei jumps around, he has to listen to your orders. How dare he disobey your orders?"
He snorted coldly, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, and his fingers tapped the table lightly, making a rhythmic sound: "People sometimes can't see the situation clearly, and always think that they are all-powerful and can change the situation. In the eyes of Feng Lei, his grandfather still has some power, so he thinks he can ignore me. Humph, he doesn't even think about it. Without me, he is nothing. Sooner or later, he will understand this truth."
I quickly echoed his words, "Brother Yue is absolutely right. A man who knows the current situation is a hero. I hope he can wake up soon and stop being stubborn."
He nodded slightly, seeming to be quite satisfied with my attitude, and then changed the subject, saying: "He Zhibin went to your place to coordinate work with you, and I think you two cooperated well. I want to put a new business with you to test the waters first. Do you have any difficulties on your side?"
I was slightly startled, then my face was full of smiles, and I patted my chest and said, "There are definitely difficulties, but don't worry, Brother Yue, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire, I will definitely try my best to overcome them and will never delay your work."
He stared at me with a sharp gaze, as if he wanted to see through my thoughts, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Hongjun, don't hide anything in front of me. If you have any difficulties, just tell me directly, don't bear it alone."
I looked embarrassed and stammered, "Brother Yue, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's really 'one should not meddle in matters that are not within one's jurisdiction'. My current status is not legitimate, and I am restricted in many things. It is indeed difficult for me to start a new business..."
After hearing this, he laughed heartily, and the laughter echoed in the office, as if no problem was worth mentioning in his eyes: "I understand, Hongjun, you can put this matter at ease. You have to take the position of executive deputy county magistrate, so just go back and wait for news. It won't be long before this matter will be settled."
I pretended to be calm, stood up quickly, bowed deeply, and said in a trembling voice, "Brother Yue, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. I will do my best to go through fire and water for you in the future."
He waved his hand, motioning me to sit down, and said in a friendly tone: "Brothers should help each other, so don't say polite words. By the way, do you have an idea about the candidate for the director of the Finance Bureau that I asked you to pay attention to?"
I shook my head in embarrassment and said with a wry smile, "Brother Yue, the candidate for the Finance Bureau Director must be absolutely obedient and of the right rank. I have been looking for a long time but have not come across a suitable candidate. This matter is indeed a bit tricky."
He smiled mysteriously, with a hint of pride in his eyes: "Don't worry about this, I have already found one for you."
I was stunned when I heard this, and thought to myself: Could it be that Yue Mingyuan has some secret contacts in the county that I don't know about? How many trustworthy people does he have hiding in the dark?
