Chapter 4 Departure from Jiangling City

  Insufficient balance

  Until she left the Ye's house, Guo Xiaoyu didn't dare to look directly at Ye Jun. Only after escaping back to the car did she dare to pluck up her courage and glance through the rearview mirror at Ye Jun standing outside waving goodbye.

  "What exactly happened between you and Xiaoyu just now? Don't hide anything from me, tell the truth. Xiaoyu is a sensible good girl, she wouldn't dare not speak all night for such a trivial matter."

  As soon as the door was closed, Dong Suning stretched out her hand and pinched Ye Jun's earlobe fiercely, with a stern expression. Ye Yangsheng sat on the sofa, with one eye open and the other closed, but he was also very curious about what had happened in the bathroom earlier that made Guo Xiaoyu so strange.

  Ye Jun smiled wryly, it turned out that Dong Suning's natural and calm expression earlier was just a facade to deceive people. Unexpectedly, even he himself was deceived. But thinking again, with Guo Xiaoyu's wronged appearance, how could she deceive Dong Suning who had fought her way through the business world? After all, Guo Xiaoyu was still a sheltered flower who had just graduated from college and hadn't experienced many worldly things. Lying to Dong Suning was simply naive.

  "Mom, let go first, it hurts!"

  Ye Jun hastily escaped from Dong Su Ning's clutches and dryly laughed: "Mom, actually it's nothing, just a misunderstanding."

  " Misunderstanding? Alright, you tell me, what misunderstanding?" Dong Suning couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. Even Ye Yangsheng put down the newspaper in his hand, with a look of interest, listening attentively.

  "Just now I was drunk and dizzy, accidentally slipped underfoot, fell to the ground, coincidentally pressed on Xiaoyu's body, and even touched her mouth."

  Ye Jun knew his mother Dong Suning's ferocity, so he could only put on an innocent expression. Dong Suning furrowed her brow and said in confusion: "It shouldn't be like this, just this little thing, it's absolutely impossible to scare Xiaoyu like this! Son, don't think you can fool me, otherwise..."

  Ye Jun involuntarily shivered and said in a wronged tone: "It's true, mom, I didn't lie to you."

  "Okay, you said you bumped into her mouth, which part did you bump into?"

  Dong Suning grasped the key to the problem with such viciousness that one question cut right to the heart of the matter. Yang Yu didn't dare to ramble on, pointing to his own mouth, saying: "This..."

  "Nonsense!"

  Ye Yangsheng, who had been trying to stifle a laugh, suddenly slapped the sofa with a loud bang, startling both Dong Suning and Ye Jun, clearly not expecting Ye Yangsheng to react so strongly.

  When Ye Jun said this, Ye Yangsheng's already limited intoxication instantly disappeared. What the hell? Even as an old antique, Ye Yangsheng knew that a woman's chastity was not just about sleeping with men, but also about being intimate with them. As a rural-born person, Ye Yangsheng had been deeply influenced by village morals since childhood. Although he later married Dong Suning and spent decades in the city, his feudal moral thoughts had changed somewhat, but he still despised men who took advantage of women or ruined their reputations. If it weren't for Dong Suning stopping him, he would have slapped Ye Jun's butt with a loud slap.

  Looking at her husband sitting on the sofa with a sullen face, panting, Dong Suning and Ye Yangsheng had been married for almost twenty years, so she naturally understood her husband's temperament. She comforted him, "It's okay, this is just a misunderstanding. Since Xiaoyu doesn't want to reveal the truth, it's clear that Xiao Jun didn't do it on purpose. Don't be angry, after all, neither of them wanted this to happen. Besides, nowadays it's a society for young people, and the social atmosphere outside is not good. Yesterday, TV reported that modern young people like one-night stands and fast food, and there are several girls under 15 who have become unmarried mothers. It makes me, as a mother, feel shocked and frightened. Who knows how Xiao Jun will turn out in the future? At least for now, he's still relatively good in this aspect."

  "How dare he! If I find out that this rabbit dared to run around recklessly, I'll have his skin torn off! As for the matter with Xiaoyu, I'll settle the account first. Tell me, has there been any reckless behavior outside?"

  Ye Yangsheng was pointed out by Dong Suning, and he aimed his spear at Ye Jun again. This made Ye Jun, who was secretly watching a comedy TV show and holding back laughter, almost bite his tongue. He couldn't help but say with grievance: "Dad, you've been watching your son grow up all these years, so you should know what kind of person he is. I believe you do. Earlier, it was just the wine talking, that's why there was a misunderstanding. So, this wine, it's better to drink less of it. Wine can harm the body and also mess with one's nature. Dad, you should also drink less in the future."

  "Get back to your room!"

  Ye Jun was so scared that he didn't dare to say another word, and with a jump, he took off running towards the second floor. Watching Ye Jun's receding back, Ye Yang Sheng suddenly let out a snort of laughter, laughing and scolding: "He actually dared to lecture me! This kid is getting more and more unbearable, Su Ning, from now on we must keep a tight rein on him, absolutely cannot let this little rascal harm other people's daughters. If he really does something like that, we absolutely cannot be lenient, at the very least we have to give the girl's family an explanation."

  "And you're no different, remember, drink less! Too much of this wine can really cause trouble."

  "Yes, dear!"

  "At such an old age, still so unscrupulous."

  Ye Yangsheng and Dong Suning entwined together after a few words, enjoying the rare warmth and tranquility of this moment.

  Ye Jun returned to his room and lay down on the bed, licking his lips as if recalling the sweetness of before. Although he had some regrets about what happened with Guo Xiaoyu today, more than that was the sweetness. To be honest, Ye Jun was no longer the naive young man from his previous life. After capturing Chen Guoyan's heart and body back then, he had vowed to be a man who would see things through to the end. However, later on, Ye Jun came to realize that pursuing pure love wasn't an easy thing to do, at least not for him, especially after experiencing too many joys and sorrows, and he could no longer maintain the innocence of his youth from his previous life.

  Since it's impossible to turn back, Ye Jun secretly decided to give up on pure love and become a diligent gardener who owns 3,000 beauties, strolling through the flower garden without getting wet!

  However, the top priority is still to determine how to help Ye Yangsheng establish a trustworthy team in Jiangling City. In the past, Ye Jun was very clear that although Jiangling City seemed simple, it was actually deeply muddled, with each government department following the principle of "obeying those above but not those below". Originally, this was a good thing, at least it counted as internal unity, but each department head had their own ulterior motives, and no one knew how many shady businesses each head privately controlled. These businesses didn't necessarily require these heads to show up in person; perhaps just a phone call or a glance would be enough for them to earn a lot of connections and money.

  Ye Yangsheng has always advocated for the removal of parasites in Jiangling City, but unfortunately, under the current political culture, even if "anti-corruption and honesty" is widely promoted, it is still a way to seize political achievements. This kind of thing is likely to be exposed on a large scale, and I believe that the bigwigs in the capital will all personally ask about it. However, this hidden interest behind the scenes has also indirectly led to the vicious cycle of officials protecting each other. Coincidentally, Ye Yangsheng's advocated reforms would inevitably infringe upon the interests of many people, which is why lower-level officials just go through the motions and pretend to take action.

  After all, a prefecture-level city is not big or small, but this water is probably deeper than the provincial level. It also verifies that sentence, "The sky is high and the emperor is far away", the exposure of the prefecture-level city is obviously five times smaller than that of the province, which can arouse too many people's ambition to be unwilling to be mediocre.

  In response to the situation in Jiangling City, over the next few days, Ye Jun not only recalled his memories of his past life but also started taking out some materials about Jiangling City from Ye Yangsheng's bookshelf to browse through. It seemed that Ye Yangsheng had also been making preparations for his trip to Jiangling these past few days.

  Ye Jun was delighted to discover that as he flipped through the materials, all the text seemed to have a spiritual quality to it, making it deeply memorable and extremely fast to read. For example, a document of at least 10,000 words, which would normally take at least 20 minutes to read, now took less than 3 minutes, and after finishing reading, it was as if it was printed in his brain, impossible to forget no matter what.

  Can't help but feel that the "versatile and strong memory" in the character's talent system is really amazing, with a malicious guess in my heart, relying on the rich knowledge accumulated from the previous life, plus now mastering this divine skill of "versatile and strong memory", it seems that only need to take out a little time to read books, can be admitted to the top universities that are popular all over the country.

  He chose to go to Jiangling City for a make-up, on the one hand, of course, is to help Ye Yang Sheng build his team. On the other hand, Jiangling No. 1 Middle School is not a closed management model, which allows Ye Jun to have enough time and space to carefully plan.

  Of course, there is also a most important reason, that is, Ye Jun clearly remembers that his encounter with Chen Guoyan was not in Guangnan City, but in Jiangling. At that time, just as Ye Yangsheng was about to leave the world, Chen Guoyan entered his world and comforted his lonely and empty heart with her gentle femininity.

  In a month's time, Ye Jun was easily inserted into the supplementary class of Jiangling No. 1 Middle School, also known as Senior Four, thanks to Dong Suning's connections. Feeling both unfamiliar and familiar with the soil of Jiangling, Ye Jun sat in the car, full of energy.

  Suddenly, a slight tremor occurred at the wrist, and a voice came from the brain: "Mr. Ye, hello, because the system has integrated your data well, after one month, you now have some talent points again, do you plan to use them now?"

  In an instant, Ye Jun's spirit lifted, and he quietly closed his eyes: "Of course, this innate system is not bad, I've been waiting for it for a long time."

  The image of the character's talent panel reappeared in his mind, and with Ye Jun's command, the thirteen "dark cards" were once again arranged in a flash, like a master card player's quick shuffle. As he chose the second "dark card" from the left, Ye Jun kept repeating to himself, "Please don't be a luck card! Please don't be a luck card!" It seemed that this seemingly weak prayer had some effect, and the "dark card" quickly revealed its true form - it wasn't the crimson font, but rather the "qi" attribute suddenly shone with a silver light, and the "dark card" fully revealed its true face - Stealth!
