provincial capital.
midnight.
Chu Yao stood alone at the door of the police station, looking lonely and pitiful.
Soon, a black business car stopped steadily in front of her.
Zhai Yuhan, dressed in shiny clothes, stretched his legs and got out of the car and stood in front of Chu Yao.
"Yaoyao, even at this point, you still won't call me for help?"
Zhai Yuhan frowned and asked coldly, but there was still a hint of tenderness in his voice.
Chu Yao raised her head and looked at the familiar yet strange man in front of her. After a moment, she lowered her head and smiled bitterly, "You and I don't have a deep friendship... Why should I call you?"
Zhai Yuhan said with a sullen face, "Your father and my father are friends for generations, so it's not an exaggeration to say that our two families are old friends, right? Why do you always keep a distance from me? I admit that I like you... but I have never thought of forcing you to do something for me. I just simply like to see your carefree, sweet smile... but now, you look like a bird with broken wings, licking its wounds alone... It hurts to see you like this, do you know that?"
Chu Yao sneered, "Stop being so hypocritical... When my father was arrested, I went to beg your father. Don't you know how he treated me? It's been such a long time since you remembered to run in front of me and pretend to be compassionate. Isn't it disgusting? No matter how miserable I am, I will never beg your Zhai family again!"
Zhai Yuhan sighed and said, "I tried to persuade my dad, but he said that it's too late to turn around! Rather than sacrificing my dad's future, I might as well help you secretly... In this way, your Chu family may still prosper... This is all I can explain, believe it or not. You also know that I have called you many times, but you never answered... If we had made things clear earlier, maybe you wouldn't have such a big grudge against me. Yaoyao, my feelings for you are complicated. To me, you are more like a sister, like someone I want to protect for the rest of my life... Seeing you like this really... makes me feel uncomfortable. Give me a chance to atone for my sins, and I will help you make a comeback!"
Chu Yao closed her eyes and tears flowed down uncontrollably.
She is helpless, vulnerable, pitiful...
Zhai Yuhan's words were like a warm current that melted her long-frozen heart and made her feel once again that she had someone to rely on in life!
But she still turned her head away stubbornly and didn't look at Zhai Yuhan.
Zhai Yuhan pointed at the police station behind her and said, "Don't worry, I won't let any of those who bullied you today go! I will make them unable to raise their heads in Hanjiang from now on, and make them never dare to appear in front of you again! And those who bullied you in the past, I will not let any of them go! Yaoyao, trust me this time!"
Chu Yao was touched, but her expression remained cold. She didn't want to continue this topic, so she asked in a gentle tone, "How did you find me? I don't think I answered your call."
Zhai Yuhan smiled slightly and said, "I went to your house and your aunt told me... those policemen didn't make things difficult for you, did they? If they dared, I would not let them go."
Chu Yao shook her head and said, "No, my friend has said hello, they are just going through the motions."
Zhai Yuhan nodded and said, "Okay, it's cold outside, I'll take you home. Auntie will be worried if she waits for you at home for too long."
Chu Yao didn't refuse anymore and followed Zhai Yuhan into the car.
In the car, Zhai Yuhan handed Chu Yao a bank card and said, "This is the money I made from my business. It's all net money after tax. You can use it first. This time I came to the provincial capital, I have to go to Pingyang for a while. When I finish the Pingyang project, you can bring your company over to help me... As long as you believe in me, it won't be long before you can be the carefree, high-ranking princess again!"
...
Pingyang.
Chen Anke sat in Guo Xuecai's house, crying secretly.
Guo Xuecai had just arrived home when he saw such a depressing scene, and he felt extremely unhappy.
He walked back and forth in front of Chen Anke with his hands behind his back, and finally spread his hands and said helplessly, "Anke, what do you want?"
Chen Anke took the opportunity to complain, "Secretary, you don't know how much I've lost face in Shannan County! Everyone is talking about me competing for the position of county party secretary, but you didn't give me a straight answer. I have no idea. If I lose, how can I face my former colleagues!"
Guo Xuecai cursed in his heart, damn, I ended up with a woman like this, I should have stayed away from her earlier!
He took out his cell phone helplessly and handed it to Chen Anke, saying, "Look, the document from the municipal party committee recommending you to be the county party secretary has come out! It will be submitted to the provincial party committee's organization department on Monday! Instead of crying in front of me, you might as well make plans early and go to the key leaders of the provincial party committee to lobby..."
Chen Anke said aggrievedly, "You promoted me to be the deputy secretary. I don't even have a strong connection in the provincial party committee. Who do you want me to go to? I beg you to be a good person and show me a way. I will go to whoever you want me to go to... As long as I can achieve my goal, I don't care how much money it costs!"
Guo Xuecai smiled bitterly and sighed, "At the provincial level, which leader cares about how much money you give him? You have to please him, otherwise it will be useless even if you give him gold bricks!"
Chen Anke pouted and said, "I'm just... an idiot when it comes to gift giving, so I'm asking you for advice... you can just tell me what to do."
Guo Xuecai went back to the bedroom, took out a scroll, handed it to Chen Anke and said, "I definitely can't go with you to the provincial party committee to get connections, nor can I go to see provincial leaders for your matter. But I can lend you a hand and show you the way... Deputy Secretary Tu of the provincial party committee is in charge of organization. He doesn't have any hobbies, but he likes to collect calligraphy and paintings by celebrities... You give this painting to him. As long as he accepts it, you will have an 80% chance of success!"
