The sky became drizzling, and the drizzle never stopped. The hot weather made the air a little dull because of the rain. The car drove into the municipal party committee’s family courtyard. Yao Ze ordered Xiang Chengdong to park the car at the door of Zhang Aimin’s house.

"You get off work, don't wait for me. I will live in the Municipal Party Committee's family courtyard today. Just come and pick me up tomorrow morning." Yao Ze pushed open the car door and Xiang Chengdong quickly handed the umbrella to Yao Ze.

Yao Ze smiled and waved his hand and said, "You use it. Just these two steps will make you unable to get rid of people." While talking to Xiang Chengdong, another car with a government license plate drove over. Yao Ze stood up and looked straight. He saw Ye Zhaoguo, deputy secretary of the Party Committee, pushing open the car door and walking towards Yao Ze with a smile.

"Mayor Yao, after get off work, he said he would go with you, but he didn't expect you to get one step first." Ye Zhaoguo walked up to shake hands with Yao Ze. Yao Ze smiled and pretended to be confused and said, "Are you here to eat here for Secretary Zhang?"

Ye Zhaoguo laughed and said, "Yes, it's raining outside. Mayor Yao, let's go in quickly."

The two walked towards Zhang Aimin's house with steps.

In the living room, Zhang Aimin's wife Li Shufen poured water for Yao Ze and Ye Zhaoguo and went to the kitchen to cook. Zhang Aimin handed cigarettes to Yao Ze and Ye Zhaoguo, then sat down beside them and said with a smile: "It's hard for us to have such an opportunity to chat so leisurely."

Ye Zhaoguo nodded with a smile, lit the cigarette, took a sip, and squinted his eyes and said, "There are endless things all day long. The government has too many things big and small. It's so upset every day. If you want to be idle, you can't be idle." After saying that, he looked at Yao Ze thoughtfully, and then smiled: "Since Mayor Yao came to Jiangping, our municipal party committee and government have turned into a rope, which is much better than before. Uniformity among the people is more important than anything else."

There is something in Ye Zhaoguo's words, so how could Yao Ze not hear it?

"Yes, the prerequisite for doing a good job is unity among the people. Nothing can be done without unity." Yao Ze nodded with a smile, then took a sip of tea, lit the cigarette, took a sip of it, and looked calm.

Yao Ze knew that Ye Zhaoguo had always been yearning for mobilization, but Ye Zhaoguo didn't say it clearly now, so Yao Ze pretended not to know anything.

Ye Zhaoguo was smoking a big mouthful of cigarettes. Seeing that Zhang Aimin didn't mention that matter, he secretly gave Zhang Aimin a wink. Zhang Aimin did nod with a smile, and then said, "Mayor Yao, I think the purpose of calling you here to drink today should be able to guess eight out of ten if you have the ability."

Yao Ze stuffed the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray, smiled and nodded and said, "There are many people staring at my position now."

Ye Zhaoguo coughed awkwardly. No one with this opportunity would miss the opportunity to fight for it. He took a sip of tea and cleared his throat, and then smiled and said, "Mayor Yao, please help me no matter what. The provincial party committee has to listen to you for many opinions on the election of Mayor Jiangping. I, Old Ye, have worked in Jiangping for more than 20 years and have worked as deputy secretary for more than ten years. It is not an exaggeration to have this opportunity to be mayor now, right?"

Ye Zhaoguo was a little excited when he spoke. Because it was not related, Ye Zhaoguo had missed several opportunities for promotion. Many people who were not as experienced as him were already doing better than him. Ye Zhaoguo was too rigid in his official position and liked to do practical things. He did not like to do things that would curry favor with his boss, so many opportunities missed him.

Zhang Aimin sighed softly and thought to himself that Minister Ye Zhaoguo Chen took the teacup and drank a sip of tea, and smiled at Ye Zhaoguo Dao: "Old Ye, don't be excited, Mayor Yao didn't say he wouldn't help you."

At this time, the food and food had already been put on the table, so Zhang Aimin invited Yao Ze and Ye Zhaoguo to have a meal.

A young woman came out of the kitchen and walked to the table with a plate. This time, Yao Ze discovered that the kitchen was not only Zhang Aimin's wife, but also the young girl, was it his daughter?

Yao Ze was thinking, Zhang Aimin next to him had already laughed, and then said, "Lingling, call me, this one is you Yao... Cough Uncle Yao, that one is Uncle Ye."

Zhang Aimin's daughter Zhang Ling looked at Yao Ze. Seeing that Yao Ze seemed to be about the same age as her, she couldn't help but be stunned. My father actually asked me to call me this kid uncle?

She looked at her father in surprise, "Dad, he..."

"What's his? He's not polite at all. This is your father's colleague, Yao Ze, Mayor Yao, are you still losing money by calling you uncle?" Zhang Aimin introduced with an angrily smile.

Seeing Zhang Ling's unhappy look, Yao Ze rushes to smile and says, "Everyone can calculate according to their own calculations. Just shout whatever you like, and don't force it."

This time, Zhang Ling calmed down her face, smiled and called Yao Ze to brother, and then turned around and called Ye Zhaoguo to uncle.

Zhang Ling looks a bit similar to her mother Li Shufen. It can be seen that Li Shufen looked pretty good when she was young. Zhang Aimin said that Li Shufen was a dance teacher when she was young, and her facial features were quite beautiful. Her daughter Zhang Ling's skin was fair, and her facial features were slightly worse than her mother Li Shufen. However, she was a sensible and pretty appearance.

"This kid is ignorant and I don't know where to go for what I learned in college." Li Shufen walked out with a basin of soup, glanced at her daughter with a smile, then carefully placed the soup on the table, unbuttoned her apron and said, "You can eat it first, the dishes are served. I'll wash my hands and come and have a few drinks with you."

Ye Zhaoguo smiled and said, "Sister-in-law can still drink?"

Zhang Aimin smiled bitterly from the side and said, "If you can drink it, I'm afraid you are not her opponent."

Ye Zhaoguo smiled and said, "Then I have to be more at ease, so as not to get into the bottom of my seat later." After that, the few people laughed together.

Zhang Ling stood beside his father and looked at Yao Ze curiously. Why did this guy become the mayor at a young age? His father was almost fifty years old before becoming the secretary of the listing party committee. The gap is too big. Does this kid have a very tough backstage?

Seeing that Zhang Ling was staring at her, Yao Ze turned his head and smiled at Zhang Ling and said, "Is there anything dirty on my face?" As he said that, he reached out and touched his cheek.

Zhang Ling blushed when she heard this, then smiled and shook her head. Zhang Aimin smiled and said to Zhang Ling: "Sit next to Mayor Yao and learn from them well. You two are probably about the same age. See how well Mayor Yao has been doing now. This is the gap."

Zhang Ling stuck out her tongue at Zhang Aimin, then sat next to Yao Ze on a stool. At this time, Li Shufen walked over and asked Yao Ze with a smile: "Mayor Yao, do you have a girlfriend?"

Yao Ze smiled and nodded and said, "It's already there."

Li Shufen smiled and said, "What a pity."

Zhang Ling said unhappily: "Mom, you have a problem again, as if you are afraid that no one will want your daughter."

Li Shufen said: "You are twenty-five years old. You won't talk about friends yet. If you don't talk about them, you will become an old girl. Then you will become a leftover girl and see who wants you."

"Okay, okay. I'm not afraid of customers laughing at me." Zhang Aimin interrupted his wife and baby daughter with a wry smile, then raised his cup to Yao Ze and Ye Zhaoguodao: "Let's go first."

After drinking, he spoke much more easily. After talking, several people talked back to the topic just now. Yao Ze said to Ye Zhaoguo: "Secretary Ye, I can't guarantee anything to you, but if I have the chance, I will definitely help you."

After hearing Yao Ze's words, Ye Zhaoguo looked joyful and picked up the wine glass and said, "Thank you, Mayor Yao, I, Lao Ye, toast you for this glass of wine." He drank all the wine in the glass, then burped, and said with a blushing face: "Mayor Yao has just arrived in Jiangping, Lao Ye is very dissatisfied. He thinks that just such a young boy can be the mayor. However, after knowing your agricultural reform plan and Yuliangzhou tourism development project..." Ye Zhaoguo gave Yao Ze a thumbs up and continued, "I admire you from the bottom of my heart. Mayor Yao will definitely make a fortune in the future."

Zhang Aimin smiled and said, "Isn't Mayor Yao soaring now?"

Yao Ze shook his head with a wry smile, then took a sip of wine, and sighed: "It's a pity that I can't witness Jiang Ping's rise."

Zhang Aimin then sighed, patted Yao Ze on the shoulder, and said, "Yanjing has a broader stage. Mayor Yao, where is the right person like you. I have always been optimistic about you. In the future, we will also walk around often when we go to Yanjing."

"Okay, let's have a drink together." Yao Ze shook his head, put aside his worries, and then picked up the wine glass...

After dinner, Ye Zhaoguo was taken off. As Zhang Aimin said, Li Shufen's alcohol tolerance was indeed not ordinary. She drank more than the three of them. Ye Zhaoguo was directly honored under the dining table. Fortunately, there was a driver waiting outside, otherwise he would not be able to leave tonight.

Yao Ze was not better than that. He was shaking when he walked, and felt his body fluttering, his head was dizzy, and his stomach was also rolling.

Seeing Yao Ze walking and beating, Zhang Aimin was a little worried, so he ordered Zhang Ling, "Lingling, send Mayor Yao back."

Zhang Ling exclaimed, and then said, "It's so late, do you ask me to send him back?"

Zhang Aimin said angrily: "He lives next to me and doesn't want to run for a few steps!"

Zhang Ling said oh, "Living next door, don't you say it earlier, I'll give it to him."

At this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier. She held the umbrella and helped Yao Ze, who was drunk and confused, and went to the house next door. When she arrived at the door, Zhang Ling asked, "Mayor Yao, where is the key?"

Yao Ze touched his pocket in a daze, then handed Zhang Ling a bunch of keys. Zhang Ling took a bunch of keys, one with two big heads, "Which one is it?"

Yao Ze narrowed his eyes and pointed for a long time but didn't point out which key it was. Zhang Ling sighed and said depressedly: "I'll try it slowly."

Finally, he opened the door, helped Yao Ze into the room, and then threw Yao Ze on the sofa in the living room. Seeing Yao Ze muttering something, Zhang Ling walked closer and bowed and asked softly, "Mayor Yao, what did you say?"

"I'm against me...I can't kill you..."

Zhang Ling laughed out loud after hearing Yao Ze’s drinking words.

"I know, do you know... who am I..."

Zhang Ling raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Who are you?"

"I...I'm from the Lin family in Yanjing, Lin Hongde is...I'm me..."

Zhang Ling was stunned for a moment, Lin Hongde of Yanjing? Isn’t this the first two prime ministers?!

"Hey, who is Lin Hongde?" Zhang Ling was surprised, pushed Yao Ze and asked out loud.
