Chapter 160 What are you afraid of?
Wang Xiaodan found it hard to believe.
Why doesn't she hate him when the man has changed his mind and abandoned her?
She hasn't experienced these things, so naturally she doesn't understand.
Vice Governor Qin was previously a student of Wang Xiaodan's father—who is also Dawei's godfather.
That's how I met Xiao Dan and Wang Guozheng.
She treats Xiaodan like her own sister, and even more so, her best friend.
He put out his cigarette, sat down next to Xiaodan again, and took her hand.
"Dandan, you see the world through a filter."
Your older brother and your father are that filter.
You have to learn to remove the filter in order to see clearly.
The Great Way is flawed.
Don't strive for perfection.
Wang Xiaodan listened and nodded slightly.
"I... I think I'll go back to Kyoto."
The plane tickets are already booked.
I need to be alone and process what you said tonight.
What you said might be true.
If you can help Dawei, please do so.
He may not be an ideal partner, but he will certainly be a good official.
I noticed that the local people were all very welcoming to him.
Vice Governor Qin smiled faintly at her: "I know. I can speak up for the Agriculture Department, and I will help them."
……
at the same time.
Dongping Middle School, Dongping Town, Yuanshan County.
Lin Lao Er drove the county's Passat to the school gate.
The security guard at the gate came out to inquire.
Lin Yunxing pointed to the access pass on the car window. Without saying a word, the security guard immediately nodded and bowed, and opened the door.
"Don't disturb anyone," David instructed, rolling down the back window.
Although the security guard didn't recognize the new county head, he had seen many leaders and could tell from his demeanor that this was no minor official.
"Hey, don't worry, boss."
The car was parked downstairs in front of the teachers' dormitory building.
"Second brother, go ask which room Teacher Ye Man is in."
Then I'll ask Teacher Ye if she has time to come out, sit down, and chat.
Lin Lao Er nodded slightly: "What if he says he doesn't want to talk to you?"
"Then use your method to invite him out for a chat."
The word "please" was emphasized.
The second son understood immediately; this was something he was good at.
The first floor is the teachers' canteen. Going up to the second floor, the first room has its door open. Peeking to the side, you see a young man and woman sitting together watching TV.
"Hello," the second brother greeted politely.
"Who are you looking for?" the male homeowner asked.
"Hello, I'm from the county. I'm looking for Teacher Ye Man. Could you tell me which room he's in?"
"Teacher Ye Man?" The man pushed up his glasses, somewhat wary. "Why don't you give him a call?"
"I don't have his phone number. I'm a driver for the county government. I have urgent business to discuss, please let me know."
Identity is always useful.
The man came out and looked down from the second-floor railing. He saw the county government's Passat and, looking at Lin Yunxing's clothes, he did indeed look like a driver for the county government.
"What happened?"
"Just tell me which room it is. The leader has instructed me not to say anything more." Lin Yunxing has learned a thing or two; he knows how to intimidate people.
Teachers in these rural towns rarely have the chance to meet any high-ranking officials, so they easily intimidate others.
The man pointed upwards and replied softly, "4th floor, 403."
Lin Yunxing, with a serious expression, quickly went upstairs.
This building is like a factory, a long row of buildings divided into many rooms.
There are only 4 floors in total, and Ye Man lives on the top floor.
Guangdong Province is such a horrible place; it's sweltering in the summer, and the top floor is like a sauna.
Lin Yunxing, who had also lived in a bad dormitory, immediately understood that Ye Man was one of the unpopular people at school, at least the one with the least power.
Otherwise, we could set up a dormitory on the second floor for people to live in.
Just like him, with Dawei's help, he lived in the best dormitory in the county government.
Arriving at room 403, the door was closed, and Lin Lao Er knocked.
The silver-painted iron gate creaked open.
Inside the door stood a refined, slender man, his eyes fixed intently on the person outside.
"Who are you?"
"Hello, Teacher Ye."
People in the neighboring dorm opened their doors to see what was going on.
Lin Yunxing, not wanting to elaborate, asked, "Could we go inside and talk?"
Ye Man stepped aside, and the second brother entered.
"Who are you?"
"I'm a driver for the county government, and our county head wants to see you."
"County magistrate?" Ye Man's expression shifted, and he looked warily out the window, but couldn't see anything. "Which county magistrate?"
"The newcomer, Chen Dawei, is County Chief Chen."
He had heard of this person before; Ye Man had always paid close attention to the developments in the county.
He had read Chen Dawei's article on agricultural development in Yuanshan County carefully; he was a talented person.
However, Ye Man also knew this.
Affairs in officialdom are unpredictable and treacherous.
Chen Dawei's visit is definitely not for anything good.
He didn't want to get involved in those struggles.
"Is there something wrong with him?"
"The county magistrate didn't say anything, he just told me to invite you down so we could have a chat."
"I... I don't want to talk. Please tell County Chief Chen that I just want to focus on teaching and don't want to get involved in anything else."
"Our county magistrate is a good man, you don't need to worry."
Ye Man chuckled, thinking Lin Yunxing was a bit simple-minded.
"My task is to get you down here. If you don't, I'll use force," Lin Yunxing said sternly.
Ye Man trembled in fright: "What, what are you going to do?"
"If you don't get down, I'll carry you down. Please don't make me lose my job. I just started driving in the county, and I really need this job."
Ye Man looked at the strong muscles under the second brother's white shirt, which made the shirt bulge and looked very powerful.
"You savage, come on, I'll go down with you."
Lin Yunxing opened the door and extended his arms to invite him out.
The two went downstairs, and Lin Yunxing opened the back seat and invited him to get in.
Ye Man looked into the car. Dawei patted the back seat, bent over and smiled at him, then patted the seat to invite him to get in.
Ye sat down with lingering doubts.
"Master Lin, let's find a quiet spot by the river so Teacher Ye and I can have a good chat."
"Okay, sure."
The car drove to the riverbank at the foot of the mountain.
Before us stands a tall, pointed mountain, which the locals call Jiantou Mountain. It produces iron ore, and there is an ironworks at its foot.
It was dark, but the ironworks was still open, and the workers were smelting iron.
Lin Lao Er got out of the car and walked around in circles nearby.
Only Dawei and Ye Man were in the car. Dawei offered them cigarettes.
Ye Man hesitated before accepting the gift, but Dawei kindly lit it for him.
Ye Man, preoccupied, said, "County Chief Chen, we don't know each other."
"Now we know each other."
"You came because of Li Taoying, didn't you?"
"Looks like we've found the right person. You're really smart."
"No, you've got the wrong person. I'm refusing you. I won't cooperate with you," Ye Man said firmly.
"What are you afraid of?"
"..." Ye Man didn't know how to answer: "Hehe, what am I afraid of? I'm just annoyed, I don't want to talk about the past, and I don't want to get involved in anything related to her."
David squinted, concluding that the man still harbored resentment.
