It only took Ye Chen half a day to return to Jiangcheng.
Returning to his hometown after more than half a year, he felt a lot of emotion.
When he left, he was just a quasi-warrior of the lower rank, but when he came back, he had already reached the sixth rank.
And his identity has also changed dramatically.
He was just an ordinary boy before, but now he has become a local lord.
Ye Chen's special car had just arrived at Songjiang No. 1 Middle School, and a beautiful woman in professional attire and black stockings came forward to open the door.
When he looked over, it was Cheng Siyu.
After not seeing her for many days, she looked a little thinner, but her proud figure was still hard to hide.
Paired with a pencil skirt and black silk high heels, she is particularly charming and attractive.
"Mr. Ye, you're back."
Seeing Ye Chen again, Cheng Siyu could not hide her excitement. Her slightly powdered almond eyes were filled with joy and... a touch of tenderness.
"Um…"
Ye Chen nodded slightly and didn't say much.
He was the one who called Cheng Siyu back.
Now that he holds the power of a city, he has a lot of work to do. Cheng Siyu is meticulous, conscientious and meticulous in her work, and is completely devoted to him. She is the perfect choice to be his assistant.
Ye Chen looked around at Cheng Siyu and asked:
"Where are the other officials in Jiangcheng? Why haven't I come to see them?"
He is the new city lord.
Logically speaking, these officials would rush over when they heard the news that he was returning to Jiangcheng.
Although Ye Chen did not care about pomp and circumstance, the fact that all the officials did not show up revealed a hint of weirdness.
Could it be that these people who are well versed in the ways of the world have suddenly become pragmatic?
Hearing Ye Chen's question, Cheng Siyu's face changed slightly. After hesitating for a moment, she explained, "I have notified all the main officials of Jiangcheng, but they all said that Deputy City Lord Liu Zhian has an important meeting today and they all have to attend and can't get away..."
"I see."
Ye Chen nodded slightly, his expression extremely calm.
Having lived two lives, he naturally understood that this was a show of force from Liu Zhian and his followers.
Then, he walked towards the old principal Chen Mingwu and other old acquaintances.
Chen Mingwu came up and punched Ye Chen, saying happily: "Good boy, I have heard about your deeds. You are really good. You even killed Xiao Neon's eighth-grade. You really made me proud."
After saying that, he burst into laughter.
Ye Chen also smiled and said: "This is all due to the old principal's good teaching."
"You're really good at talking, kid."
Chen Mingwu's face was as bright as a chrysanthemum. He said, "I thought you had come back to be the city lord this time, and that you had grown so powerful that you forgot about me. It seems that I was worrying too much."
Ye Chen smiled and said, "How could that be? You will always be my old principal. But during the time I was away, it was thanks to the old principal that my parents did not suffer any injustice."
As soon as he finished speaking, Teacher Wang Changzhi beside him quickly said, "It's because I'm conscientious. I discovered Liu Zhian's unusual behavior and reported it to the principal in a timely manner..."
Hey! Why am I telling you this? Teacher, I do good things without asking for anything in return! "
Although the other party said so, Ye Chen still said solemnly: "Thank you, Teacher Wang."
Although the two had some friction due to misunderstandings before, it is undeniable that Teacher Wang is a good teacher with professional ethics, completely different from Yan Chengyi.
"Now it's time to call Vice Principal Wang."
Teacher He on the side added with a smile.
Ye Chen was stunned and smiled, "Congratulations to Teacher Wang on your promotion. Does that mean Teacher He has also been promoted to Dean of Studies?"
"It's all thanks to you, little guy."
Teacher He smiled slightly, "But compared to you, we are nothing.
You are directly the master of a city, and your starting point is a height that almost everyone can hardly reach in their lifetime.
Even we old guys have become your subordinates."
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Even if I am the governor, you are still my teachers."
The teachers and students were having a great time. Chen Mingwu even ordered a table of high-end dishes at the Century Hotel to welcome Ye Chen.
During the meal, Chen Mingwu drank a few more glasses, and then said to Ye Chen:
"Ye Chen, I know what you want to do this time, but I still think you should be patient..."
Ye Chen heard this and said, "Old Principal, do you mean that I shouldn't touch Liu Zhian?"
"Liu Zhian is a guy who only knows how to flatter and please everyone, but he doesn't do any real work.
When the demon cave rioted and the demon tide attacked, this old guy hid in the back with his family. It was me who led the teachers, students and a group of anti-demon soldiers to block the outside and prevented the demon tide from harming the people of Jiangcheng.
But afterwards, this old fellow came out to claim credit to his superiors, saying that it was because he led his troops in the fight that they achieved a great victory, and that was why he was promoted to deputy city lord."
Ye Chen frowned and said, "Didn't you report this kind of deception to the superiors and the subordinates, old principal?"
"What's the point of reporting it?"
Chen Mingwu sneered, "With the provincial governor backing him up, who would dare to get involved in these matters?"
"I dare."
Ye Chen said calmly, "This time when I come back, I will definitely deal with Liu Zhian."
"Don't be impulsive."
Chen Mingwu sobered up a bit after hearing this. "Liu Zhian has been operating in Jiangcheng for many years, especially after the arrest of City Lord Zheng Yuan. He has replaced almost all officials with his cronies. You're new here, so you can't defeat him."
Ye Chen smiled and said, "If I can't even handle a small deputy city lord, then I don't have the title of city lord anymore."
"Look, no official came to greet you today, and you will know how terrifying Liu Zhian's power is in Jiangcheng now.
It can be said that he is the local emperor of Jiangcheng."
Chen Mingwu sighed and continued, "The most important thing is that he has a close relationship with the provincial governor. With the provincial governor protecting him, no one in the Northeast Province dares to touch him."
Ye Chen drank the wine in the glass, then stood up and left.
Seeing this, Chen Mingwu hurriedly shouted, "Ye Chen, where are you going?"
"I'm going to pee. I'll be back in a minute."
Looking at Ye Chen's departing back, Chen Mingwu and others looked at each other.
The toilet is on the other side, where is the hotel entrance.
…
City Committee Meeting Room.
Liu Zhian, who was sitting in the first position, was talking incessantly and enthusiastically about the future planning of Jiangcheng.
The people below were filled with officials of all ranks in Jiangcheng.
The huge conference room was packed.
Everyone was listening attentively, writing quickly in their notebooks, and recording everything Liu Zhian said.
When they talked about the wonderful parts, everyone applauded and the sound of flattery continued to be heard.
"City Lord Liu is incredibly talented and governs effectively. He's the true choice for City Lord. I don't know why the higher-ups chose to parachute in a kid to take over..."
"Who knows? I think there must be something fishy going on here. I really feel sorry for City Lord Liu."
"Hmph, even if he is the city lord, so what? Anyway, we only take orders from City Lord Liu."
"Yes! We only recognize City Lord Liu."
As they talked, the crowd became excited.
At this moment, the door of the conference room was opened with a bang.
