For the Ye family, the future potential of Qinhuai Heavy Machinery is not important. The reason why it cannot be lost is that if it is lost, it will be a signal that the Ye family has lost control of Yinzhou, and then it will represent that the development plan set by Mr. Ye will also be overturned by the later rulers. That development plan is the hard work of Mr. Ye and the key to the Ye family's foothold, so Ye Mingjing must take over Qinhuai Heavy Machinery.
This is just like in a war, some seemingly wealthy cities can be abandoned at any time, but the birthplace of troops and the cities that will affect the morale of the army must be defended - Yinzhou is the source of the Ye family's troops and must not be lost.
Ye Mingjing's initiative to seek peace was a good signal. Song Wendi took this opportunity to make concessions in Yinzhou Heavy Machinery in exchange for the loyalty and more support of the Quan'an Gang, which was a good balancing move.
"If you take action, you will definitely be able to convince Secretary Song." Ye Mingjing sighed, "Who doesn't know that you are now the most popular person in front of the municipal party secretary, and are known as the second-in-command of the municipal party committee?"
The second-in-command of the municipal party committee, there are indeed many people calling himself that nowadays, but Fang Zhicheng just laughed it off. Although he has a competitive temperament in his bones, he is extremely humble on the surface, and he knows very well that the tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.
Although it is true that Song Wendi trusts him very much now, Fang Zhicheng is still very cautious. He knows that if he does not take one step at a time, he is very likely to fall. The higher you stand, the harder you fall. This is the truth.
Fang Zhicheng thought that he should tell Wang Ke and others if he had the chance that he didn't like this title very much, so as to avoid it falling into Song Wendi's ears and causing trouble.
However, Ye Mingjing wanted to make peace with Song Wendi through his own words, which also shows the power of Fang Zhicheng in the eyes of everyone. Although he is only a small civil servant at the deputy section level, he is obviously better than some department-level cadres in the eyes of some people.
Ye Mingjing personally escorted Fang Zhicheng out of the villa. Turning around, he saw Ye Qingrou waiting for him with a serious face. He smiled and said, "Xiaorou, what's wrong?"
Ye Qingrou held the hem of her skirt and sat down, circling her fingertips and whispered, "Dad, there's something I need to tell you."
Ye Mingjing was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "Just say it, the sky won't fall!"
Ye Qingrou raised her eyes and stared at Ye Mingjing, then mustered up the courage to say, "I want to date Fang Zhicheng."
"..." Ye Mingjing was immediately frightened, because his daughter had always been very well-behaved, but her current attitude was shocking, as if he had never known her before, "Why?"
Ye Qingrou whispered: "Because I like him."
Ye Mingjing shook his head helplessly and said, "You are still a high school student. You need to focus on your studies now. After the college entrance examination next year, you will have to prepare to go abroad. If you get entangled with him..."
"I don't want to go abroad!" Ye Qingrou interrupted Ye Mingjing, her eyes reddened, "Do you want to send me away like you sent my mother away?"
Ye Mingjing was slightly angry because Ye Qingrou had actually hit upon something taboo. He waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Don't mess around. When you calm down, we can have a good chat."
"I'm very calm!" Ye Qingrou whispered, "In fact, you don't know me at all. You just treat me as a pet and a toy. Apart from arranging servants and bodyguards around me, do you know anything else about me? Why do you think I fired so many tutors? Because that would attract your attention and make you care about me. However, I have to hide myself carefully to prevent you from thinking I'm too bad and sending me directly abroad."
Ye Mingjing was stunned when he heard Ye Qingrou's seemingly illogical but extremely realistic words. He suddenly realized that he really didn't know Ye Qingrou very well. Many people had said that Ye Qingrou had a strange personality and a bad temper, but he never believed it because Ye Qingrou was as well-behaved as a cat in front of him.
Now that I think about it, everything was deliberately disguised by Ye Qingrou. She was afraid that she would be like her biological mother, angering Ye Mingjing and then being driven abroad...
In fact, Ye Qingrou is a very pitiful girl. She saw with her own eyes that her father sent her mother abroad, and then she hid her true self and got along with her father hypocritically...
Ye Mingjing was stunned. Even though he was a well-known businessman, he began to feel at a loss.
Ye Qingrou smiled coldly and rushed out the door. Ye Mingjing subconsciously stretched out his hand, then put it down dejectedly, and then grabbed his hair, growling in pain: "What's going on... Why... Xiaorou, are you going to abandon me too?"
Fang Zhicheng had already driven out of the Southern Country when his cell phone suddenly rang, with the sound of Ye Qingrou crying.
"I'm homeless... Can you take me in?" Ye Qingrou's voice was a little hoarse.
Fang Zhicheng felt kind again, sighed, and asked, "Where are you now? I'll pick you up!"
Ye Qingrou squatted under a big sycamore tree. Fang Zhicheng parked the car on the side of the road, and she threw herself on Fang Zhicheng. Fang Zhicheng listened to the gurgling sound in Ye Qingrou's throat, knowing that she was enduring, and sighed: "Cry louder, don't be afraid of being heard."
"Wow..." Ye Qingrou suddenly lost her voice, and her cry was so gentle and sad that it was heartbreaking.
Fang Zhicheng thought that the Ye family father and daughter must have had a quarrel, and he couldn't take Ye Qingrou home, so he thought about it and decided to put her in a hotel with a better environment.
"I'm not staying in a hotel!" Ye Qingrou whispered, "I'm going to your house."
Fang Zhicheng smiled bitterly and said, "If I bring a little girl home with me, wouldn't that ruin your reputation?"
Ye Qingrou insisted, "I quarreled with my father because of you. You must take responsibility."
Fang Zhicheng secretly sighed at his bad luck and gritted his teeth, "Then I'll take you to where I live."
Inside the villa, a bottle of wine that had been hidden in the wine cellar for many years was placed in front of Ye Mingjing. Uncle Yuan walked in and saw that Ye Mingjing was slightly drunk, and his eyes showed worry. Ye Mingjing held up the goblet, took another sip of red wine, and sighed, "Where is Xiaorou, where did she go?"
Uncle Yuan whispered, "Fang Zhicheng took her away."
Ye Mingjing smiled bitterly and shook his head, questioning: "Xiao Rou, why do you like that boy? Why didn't you give me any information before?"
Uncle Yuan showed a helpless look on his face and said with a wry smile: "I also find it strange that the young lady suddenly mentioned this matter. She never showed any clues before."
Ye Mingjing sighed and said helplessly: "It turns out that she has always hated me in her heart..."
Uncle Yuan whispered, "The young lady has grown up now, should we tell her the truth?"
Ye Mingjing waved his hands and sighed, "That would be too cruel to both me and her. I must keep the secret, even if she misunderstands me for the rest of her life."
Uncle Yuan nodded, and thought this was a good choice. After all, the secret had been kept for so many years, and revealing it would only make it more difficult for people to accept. He asked softly, "Do you want to take the young lady back?"
Ye Mingjing held his chin, thought hard for a while, and shook his head weakly, "No need, with her stubborn temper, she will definitely not agree... Go and invite Xiaozi down... and then send her over... Let Xiaozi watch her and persuade her."
Half an hour later, Fang Zhicheng found Ye Meizi standing at the door. He was a little confused, but then he was relieved and smiled, "Are you here to pick up Ye Qingrou?"
To Fang Zhicheng's disappointment, Ye Meizi shook her head, her pretty face full of apology, lowered her eyes and whispered, "I'm here to accompany Xiaorou, so I have to stay in your room for a night."
