Early the next morning, Liu Xiaolan packed his luggage and returned to the province. Yao Ze put it aside for the time being. With his current ability, it would be a matter of minutes to deal with the Qin family, so what he can do now is to wait and see.

When Yao Ze of the Housing Management Bureau just entered the office, Zhang Yi, smiled and came in, clapped his hands and said, "Director Yao, it's so good. The amount of money for the demolition compensation has been reduced. The speed is really unspeakable. You are a great hero of our bureau!"

Yao Ze asked Zhang Yi to sit down on the sofa, then handed him a cigarette, and said with a smile: "This is my job responsibility. The hero is a bit exaggerated, and I can't afford it."

After hearing this, Zhang Yi opened his mouth and laughed. Then he thought that the TV station had not been settled, and he felt a little worried again. If the matter really hit the province, the matter would be a big deal. Maybe even the director of his own will not be able to save it.

"Director Yao, what do you mean by Zhang Guoding? Is it because just to vent his anger to a female host, and regardless of the stability and unity in the city, what is the benefit of stinging the matter to the province? I think such people are human-headed and pig-headed!" Zhang Yi said in anger and couldn't help but curse. Thinking of losing his identity in front of Yao Ze, he smiled angrily and asked: "Director Yao, what do you think about this?"

Yao Ze did not understand the specific situation inside, so he shook his head and sighed helplessly: "Master Zhang is indeed a bit of a big deal, but it is unknown what purpose he is for. If this matter is transmitted to the province, it will definitely have a great impact on our bureau. Otherwise, Director Zhang, with the reputation of the Housing Management Bureau, will invite him out for a meal tonight to explore his voice and see if there is room for maneuver."

"Would it be too abrupt when you make an appointment for dinner?" Zhang Yi looked thoughtful, lit the cigarette that Yao Ze handed him, took a deep breath, and then he nodded vigorously after a while and said to Yao Ze: "Okay, I'll call later. I'll be with you in the evening. I'll drink too much, and I'm afraid I'll talk nonsense!"

Yao Ze smiled bitterly, nodded, and said, "Director Zhang is too modest. Who is not a huge number of top leaders?!"

Zhang Yi laughed loudly after hearing this, pointing at Yao Ze and said, "Director Yao is such a smart person, I can't hide this from you!"

Yao Ze smiled and said, "This is the unspoken rule of the officialdom. The more you drink, the more you can be, the more you can be. Since Director Zhang can be the top leader, the more you can drink, it will naturally not be small."

After chatting for a few moments, Zhang Yi got up and said goodbye to prepare for the evening banquet. After walking to the door, Yao Ze called Zhang Yi to remind him: "Director Zhang, invite the female host together at the dinner. After all, she is the fuse of this matter!"

Zhang Yi slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my head, you didn't remind me that I almost forgot about this. OK, when I asked Master Zhang to call the female host, by the way, should we prepare a gift for the female host?"

Yao Ze nodded and said, "Send a gift."

Zhang Yi said: "Then Director Yao will give you this task. You young people will choose gifts and know what those girls like. The money you buy gifts will be reimbursed at that time!"

Yao Ze agreed with a smile. After Zhang Yi left, Yao Ze looked through the documents for a while and remembered that he had not been involved in the agricultural reform for more than half a month. So hesitated for a moment, turned out Liu Yan's number, took a deep breath, calmed down, and then dialed it over.

After the phone was called, there was no answer. Liu Yan was probably hesitating whether to answer. Just as Yao Ze was about to hang up, a familiar and crisp and gentle voice recalled: "Yao Ze, is there anything wrong?"

Liu Yan's voice was very stiff and seemed to deliberately distance herself from Yao Ze, and her speech became much more distracted.

For a moment, Yao Ze felt mixed emotions. After sighing quietly, he stood up from the chair, stood by the window, looked at the people coming and going on the street, and asked softly: "Sister-in-law, have you been doing well recently?"

He pondered for a while on the other side of the phone before whispering: "Life is always passing day by day, it is not good or bad!"

When Yao Ze heard what Liu Yan said, he seemed to be numb to life, so he quickly asked with concern: "Why are you talking so negatively and you have a fight with Cheng Weigra again?"

"No, he is very nice to me!" Liu Yan's tone changed for a moment, and she immediately recovered, sighed softly, and asked, "What's wrong with calling?"

Yao Ze knew that Liu Yan was still in her heart. If there was no opportunity to get rid of the shadow in her heart, she would probably be like a stranger to Liu Yan in this life, and the distance between them became farther and farther away. Thinking of this, Yao Ze felt a little sour, his voice was a little bitter, and he said in a low mood: "Nothing is wrong, I just want to ask about your recent situation."

"Uh, if nothing happens, I'll hang up the phone." Liu Yan's tone revealed indifference from beginning to end, as if she didn't want to say a few words to Yao Ze.

"Sister-in-law, wait!" Yao Ze said hurriedly: "I have something to ask you!"

Liu Yan replied softly, "Oh, then you can ask."

"You know, although I was transferred back to the city, the superiors have always allowed me to serve as the leader of the rural reorganization. I don't care about it now, but the basic situation still needs to be understood. I want to know what the situation is now!"

Liu Yan paused for a while and said softly: "You don't have to worry about anything. Everything is implemented according to your plan. There is no problem now. Success is only a matter of time."

"Is that true?" Yao Ze chuckled slightly. Liu Yan said this. Yao Ze did not continue to ask questions, so he said reluctantly: "Then... well, sister-in-law, you take good care of yourself!"

"Yeah." Liu Yan snorted softly, paused for a while before whispering again: "You take good care of yourself too! Goodbye!" After saying that, a beeping sound came from the phone.

Listening to the last sentence Liu Yan said, Yao Ze was stunned for a while with the phone before coming back to his senses, and a smile appeared on his face.

...

Liu Yan was carrying a bag of vegetables, and walked to the door of her house and opened the door. Then she changed into slippers, walked to the sofa and sat down. After putting the vegetables on the coffee table, she pulled her feet out of the slippers, frowned slightly and gently took off the flesh-colored short socks on her feet, revealing her fair and beautiful little feet. However, there was a scratch on the soles of her feet at this time because she went to the countryside to investigate and walk too many mountain roads and worn them. She didn't return to the town until yesterday and bought medicine to apply it. She slowly got better. However, she still limped and felt very awkward when she walked.

She raised her feet gently, pouted her lips and blew her breath towards the wound. Thinking about her behavior like a child, she found it funny, so she put her feet down and sat on the sofa in a daze. Thinking of the strong sense of care in Yao Ze's tone when he was calling just now, Liu Yan sighed slightly with a sad expression and fell into silence.

Not long after, the door was opened, and Ruan Cheng walked in with a look of depression and sighed.

Liu Yan came to her senses, turned her head and opened Ruan Chengwei's eyes, and asked with concern: "Why is the secretary embarrassed you again?"

Ruan Chengwei slapped his arms and sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette and started smoking it in a depressing manner. After smoking a cigarette, he said with a stern face: "The old guy Sun Youcai wants to exclude me. Now I have completely outlawed me. My deputy mayor has no right to speak. As soon as the brother Yao Ze left, he turned back to the local emperor of Huai'an Town. Alas, now I really admire Brother Yao Ze. He can actually treat Sun Youcai's old guy so hard. Now I have taken over his position... Alas."

Ruan Cheng looked depressed.

Liu Yan felt a little bored after hearing her husband's complaints, but she still patiently reached out and patted Ruan Chengwei's arm, and said softly: "Sun Youcai has been a local emperor in Huai'an all his life. Why do you have to be serious with him? Anyway, he is old and he has to retire immediately. You will be able to improve if you are patient and wait for him to retire!"

Ruan Chengwei was already angry. After hearing Liu Yan's words, he said in a deep voice: "I just can't swallow that breath. Why should I be suppressed by that old bald donkey? I won't just give up so much, let's see!" Ruan Chengwei finished speaking viciously, and then asked Liu Yan again: "By the way, have you contacted you recently? He has been back in the city for more than half a month, and he hasn't called me such a phone number!"

After hearing Ruan Chengwei's words, Liu Yan's face became a little unnatural, but she immediately recovered and said guiltily: "I haven't contacted me, maybe I'm busy lately!"

Ruan Chengwei frowned slightly and said, "Did he forget us? You are the same as Liu Yan. As your sister-in-law, you can contact him more. Yao Ze's identity is not simple. If you can have a good relationship with him, it will definitely be beneficial to me in the future."

After hearing Ruan Chengwei's complaints, Liu Yan felt extremely aggrieved, but she didn't know how to tell Ruan Chengwei.

Seeing that Liu Yan lowered her head and said silently, Ruan Chengwei shook her head slightly and sighed: "Forget it, I will call myself in a few days. I still have to rely on myself for anything!"

"Cook and eat, I'm hungry!" Ruan Chengwei glanced at Liu Yan, then got up and walked towards the bedroom. When he walked to the door, he turned around and ordered: "Call me when the meal is ready. I'll take a look first. Working overtime was too late yesterday, so I'm sleeping now."

Liu Yan nodded slightly and agreed. Seeing Ruan Chengwei close the door, a trace of sadness flashed across her face, and she felt a little sad. Ruan Chengwei is now less and less concerned about herself, and she is not as gentle as before. She is like a different person. What did she do wrong?

Did he find out the night when Yao Ze forced him to have sex with him?

Thinking of this, Liu Yan's face turned extremely ugly.
