The next day.
Because they talked late last night, Ye Beiping's family also got up late.
Tao Qiuyan and Ye Xiaoxin were so excited to know they could return to Pingba Village for the Spring Festival that they couldn't sleep for a long time.
It's such a glorious thing for one's own son to earn money and come home for the Chinese New Year.
I never expected to encounter some troubles after returning home.
Ye Beiping had just finished washing up when there was a knock on the door.
Bang bang bang!
Bang! Bang!
This left everyone in the room very puzzled.
Ye Xiaoxin pouted, still slightly grumpy from waking up, and said, "Who is it? Can't a person get any sleep this early in the morning?"
Seeing that everyone else was having breakfast at the table, she could only mutter to herself as she went to open the door.
Upon opening the door and finding a stranger, she immediately became wary.
"Who are you?"
The people having breakfast at the table turned around and looked towards the door, noticing that Ye Xiaoxin looked slightly nervous.
Soon, an unfamiliar male voice came through.
"Hello, is this Ye Beiping's home?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Ye Beiping, including Ye Xiaoxin at the door, who also cast her gaze toward her younger brother.
Ye Beiping, of course, also heard the sound at the door, put down his chopsticks and got up to go over.
She frowned when she saw the unfamiliar man.
"Do we know each other?" Although the family was wary of strangers because of Peng Yuhuai's incident, Ye Beiping still politely asked another question.
After all, I'm in business now, and who knows, the people in front of my door might have heard some inside information and come seeking cooperation.
Soon, the stranger smiled and said to Ye Beiping, "Hello, Mr. Ye. I was sent by Secretary Jin to pick you up. Secretary Jin would like to arrange a time to meet with you."
Secretary Jin?
A title that is unfamiliar yet feels very powerful.
If this Party Secretary were placed in a city, he might become the top leader of that city; if he were placed in a province, he might become the top leader of that province.
In any organization, the title "Secretary" always means the top leader.
Ye Beiping was very curious. He didn't know any Secretary Jin, so why would he want to arrange a meeting?
Could it be... the person behind Peng Yuhuai?
Thinking of this possibility, he shook his head and refused: "I'm sorry, sir, I don't know who Secretary Jin is. Everyone is quite busy, so there's no need to meet."
As he spoke, he went to close the door.
The stranger swiftly blocked the door and uttered a name that shocked Ye Beiping.
"Jin Aiguo"
"What?" Ye Beiping exclaimed in surprise, then realized his voice was a bit loud and immediately regained his composure, falling into deep thought.
He definitely knows Jin Aiguo.
Not only do I know him, but I am very familiar with him. If it weren't for this old man, I probably wouldn't even be able to stay in Hangzhou now.
Even Su Xinyi that night...
Thinking of all this, Ye Beiping caught a glimpse of Su Xinyi's nervous expression. Although he didn't know when Jin Aiguo, the leader, had become Secretary Jin, he still felt he should thank him in person.
Although he had been saved by the chief, the chief had helped him more than once, and his ability to marry Su Xinyi was also due to the support and encouragement of the old chief, Jin Aiguo.
"Okay, when?"
Seeing that Ye Beiping had agreed, the stranger breathed a slight sigh of relief. He was pleased that the task assigned by his superior had been completed.
He was afraid that Ye Beiping would disagree, and he would have a hard time explaining himself when he returned.
Since the other party has agreed, there's no time to delay, so I asked directly, "Mr. Ye, are you free right now?"
Ye Beiping glanced at his family members in the room and then nodded.
"No problem, but I need to change my clothes first. Please wait in the living room, sir."
"No rush, no rush." The stranger waved his hand repeatedly and followed Ye Beiping into the house.
He then realized there were quite a few other people in the room, presumably Ye Beiping's family. He greeted them with what he thought was his gentlest smile and a nod.
Ye Beiping called out, "Aunt Li, make this gentleman a cup of tea."
After saying that, he walked back to his room on his own.
Seeing this, Su Xinyi slowly walked past the sofa and smiled and nodded at the strange man before heading to the room that belonged to her and Ye Beiping.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Ye Beiping rummaging through the closet for clothes.
Are you... going out?
Upon hearing Su Xinyi's voice, Ye Beiping simply turned his head and said, "Yes, do you remember the old commander I told you about?"
Old Chief?
Su Xinyi searched her memory for a long time before she remembered.
"The old commander who helped us with that commune incident?"
Ye Beiping had already explained this to Su Xinyi, so he naturally knew who Jin Aiguo was.
I've even met them twice.
Ye Beiping nodded: "Since they've mentioned the old commander's name, I naturally have to go and meet him."
Su Xinyi no longer had any doubts or worries about this.
After all, the old leader was someone who had helped them before, so he probably wanted to meet with Ye Beiping and catch up.
"Do you need me to come with you?" Su Xinyi remembered that she hadn't seen her old commander for a long time and wanted to accompany Ye Beiping.
Ye Beiping had just changed into the clothes he had found when he suddenly shook his head, "Let's forget about it this time. I'll go over and see what's going on. I'll take you to visit next time I have the chance."
Not knowing why Jin Aiguo had suddenly contacted him, he didn't dare to easily bring his family to thank him.
