Chapter 486: Megaphone
This call was from Chang Dongfang.
I went around and around, but in the end I couldn't get around Li Yuanlang.
Chang Dongfang couldn't sit still at all. After much hesitation, he dialed Li Yuanlang's mobile phone number.
The other party's line was busy, so Chang Dongfang had to put down the phone, touched his slicked back, sat on a chair and fell into deep thought, while weighing the pros and cons.
He was optimistic that he would become relatives with the old Ye family.
That big tree must have blocked the sky and the sun. Even though the old man rode a crane to the west, as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, its power is still there.
Ye Mingren is the governor of Nanling Province, and his in-law Ye Mingming is not bad either. He is a member of the Standing Committee of the Donghe Provincial Committee and the political commissar of the Provincial Military Region.
They were local princes who held military power, and I, the secretary of the municipal party committee, was really not good enough in their eyes.
But he also has worries.
I am worried that this marriage may not be accepted by the Ye family. The reason is very simple. Compared with the Ye family, there is a huge difference between the Chang family and the Ye family.
When Ye Wenqi became the daughter-in-law of the Chang family, she married down. On the contrary, Chang Ming became the son-in-law of the Ye family, but she married high up.
The unequal status suddenly added a lot of pressure to Chang Dongfang.
He originally planned to contact Ye Mingming directly, but he didn't know what the Ye family's attitude was. If he took the liberty to ask for mercy, if the other party didn't agree and he wouldn't be able to step down, it would be a small matter to save face, but it would be a big deal if the relationship was completely ruined.
After thinking about it, he thought of Li Yuanlang.
This person has connections with the Ye family and can be used as a mediator and a sounding board.
At any rate, he has a good relationship with Chang Ming, and he treats him well, so he shouldn't refuse.
That's how this phone was born.
As for Li Yuanlang, Ye Mingming's attitude changed slightly after Li Yuanlang's persuasion, and he was no longer as aggressive as before.
Especially for his daughter, he felt that what Li Yuanlang said was right.
Over the years, he has had no time to take care of his daughter, let alone give her fatherly love.
I always think that satisfying her financially is enough.
Don’t you know that what your daughter needs is not money, but care and love?
Even after being bullied by that bastard Zhang Meng, she didn't tell him that he was her father. This is enough to show that in the eyes of her daughter, he is just a relative in name only.
Ye Mingming hung up the phone without saying a word, stood in the study and looked out the window, thinking deeply.
At this time, his wife Jing Jingxian came in with a tea cup, put it on the table, and said resentfully: "I didn't persuade my daughter, she refused to agree to divorce. She also said that she is a member of the Chang family in life, and she is a member of the Chang family in death.
Ghost, tell me, she is really stubborn, why is she so stubborn?"
"Give me a cigarette." Ye Mingming stretched out his fingers and picked up the cigarette handed over by his wife. After Jing Jingxian lit it, he sighed and said, "Young women can't help themselves, let her go."
Jing Jingxian opened his eyes and asked in surprise: "You, you mean you agree to this marriage?"
"What can we do if we don't agree?" Ye Mingming said helplessly: "They are already husband and wife, a legal couple protected by the law. There is no point in fighting each other."
"Then, what's Xue Lu's reply?"
"Hmph!" Ye Mingming snorted coldly, "That bastard Zhang Meng actually wanted to take advantage of our Wenqi, and he almost got it. This kind of person, if I don't kill him, it's just that he took advantage, and he's still a toad.
If you want to eat swan meat, don’t even think about it.”
"Tomorrow, what did you say? Tell me quickly what's going on."
So, Ye Mingming changed Zhang Meng's attempt to bully Ye Wenqi and gave a general explanation, "If you don't believe me, ask Wen Qi if this happened? Anyway, I don't think Zhang Meng is a good guy, he looks wretched and has small eyes.
It is full of bad water. If Wen Qi marries him, it will be like flowers stuck in cow dung. It will be a pity for our daughter."
"This is happening!" Jing Jingxian was quite surprised. He hurriedly walked out of the study and went upstairs to seek confirmation from his daughter.
Ye Mingming took a few puffs of cigarette, stubbed out half of the cigarette butt in the ashtray, grabbed the red phone on the table, dialed a few numbers, and then said after getting through: "Brother, I am the second brother, there is something I want to talk to
you say……"
After finishing the call with Ye Mingming, Li Yuanlang thought for a while and then called Chang Dongfang back.
"Secretary Chang, hello, I am Yuen Long."
"Oh, it's Yuen Long." Chang ah." Chang Dongfang said calmly, "How is work? Compared with the county committee, the government has a lot of trivial matters. You have to pay attention to your health and don't tire yourself out."
"Thank you, Secretary Chang, for your concern. I'm fine." Li Yuanlang replied politely, "Secretary Chang, please take care of yourself and don't work too hard. Guangnan needs you, and so do the people."
"Well, I don't want to be so tired, but I can't. Chang Ming gives me a headache. You said he is almost thirty, and he is engaging in a flash marriage. He is just treating marriage as a child's play. He is really ignorant."
"Secretary Chang, marriage is like this. When you look forward to it, you can't wait for it. When it comes, you can't push it away." Li Yuanlang said: "Chang Ming has liked Ye Wenqi for a long time. It was love at first sight, but the time has not come yet."
"Haha." Chang Dongfang smiled, "So you created opportunities for them, right?"
"It can't be said that their marriage has come. I left Ye Wenqi in the care of Chang Ming. I didn't expect that they would get the marriage certificate overnight. Like you, I was completely surprised."
"Alas!" Chang Dongfang sighed: "Anyway, his aunt and I are still happy that Chang Ming is getting married. I just don't know what Political Commissar Ye's attitude is. After all, I'm not very familiar with him."
Li Yuanlang agreed with this point. Chang Dongfang was originally only a deputy department-level cadre, which was a level different from Ye Mingming.
Moreover, although Ye Mingming is the leader of the provincial party committee, his main focus is on the military region. He rarely interferes in local affairs and does not know much about it.
"I just spoke to Political Commissar Ye and said everything I could. I believe he will consider it carefully."
This sentence "I've said everything I can say" made Chang Dongfang understand immediately. There was no need to ask any more questions. Li Yuanlang had already tried his best.
"Yuen Long, thank you very much." Chang Dongfang said sincerely: "If you have time, come and sit at home. We haven't chatted together for a long time. The door of my house is open to you at any time."
"I will, Secretary Chang, I will definitely come to your door to harass you."
After lunch, Li Yuanlang video chatted with his wife during the lunch break.
Seeing my son babbling and having fun in the stroller, all the worries disappeared.
Li Yuanlang watched for several minutes before reluctantly talking to Shui Tingyue.
"Ah, Ye Wenqi actually got married!" Shui Tingyue was also surprised.
But soon she added: "That's right. Only Ye Wenqi can do such a magical thing. She is crazy all day long. Only you can't imagine that it can't be done without her."
When talking about Ye Wenqi, Ye Qingrou is naturally inseparable.
Shui Tingyue explained that Ye Qingrou came to see her and the child because she wanted Shui Tingyue to keep it a secret and to surprise Li Yuanlang, so she didn't tell him.
"It's a surprise, almost a shock."
When it came to moving his mother's grave, Li Yuanlang said he had to listen to his father's opinion.
These days, whenever she has time, Shui Tingyue holds her son in her arms and visits Li Yizhao.
But it was strange. Li Yizhao was usually either sleeping or in a daze, but when he saw his grandson, his eyes stared straight at the little guy, and he even grinned. Even though the amplitude was small, at least he could smile.
"Speaking of it, I am really not a qualified son, nor a qualified father." Li Yuanlang sighed sincerely, "I don't have time to take care of them, so you have to take my place. My wife, thank you for your hard work."
"If you pursue an official career, you will definitely have gains and losses. There is nothing you can do about it."
When it comes to career, Shui Tingyue revealed, "Dad is going to the capital for a talk today and has a flight in the afternoon."
"So, you have some clues about his affairs?"
"Well, I heard from my mother that my uncle and father talked and it's basically settled."
This was not beyond Li Yuanlang's expectation.
Ever since he heard that Lu Rongfu had taken sick leave, he had guessed that Lu Rongfu had been eliminated, so Shui Qingzhang's appointment as deputy secretary of the Donghe Provincial Party Committee was a certainty.
Not long after he went to work in the afternoon, Li Yuanlang received a call from Lei Zhen himself, saying that he had something to communicate with him.
When Li Yuanlang arrived, Lei Zhen had already asked his secretary to make tea and sat on the sofa waiting for Li Yuanlang.
After the two shook hands, Lei Zhen said: "County Magistrate Li, I asked you to come here to talk about personnel changes."
