Insufficient balance

  Bai Bing would not harbor resentment in her heart, or leave an indelible shadow at the bottom of her heart. As for these unknown possibilities, Ye Jun did not want to think about it, nor was he willing to think about it, and even more so, he didn't bother to think about it. When a woman hates a man, it often means that this man has already successfully occupied this woman's heart. This is the effect Ye Jun wanted, after all, for a woman like Bai Bing, if one doesn't use some extreme methods, just relying on blindly clinging and pestering would be purely self-destructive.

  He glanced at his watch and, as it was almost noon, Ye Jun stopped under a shady tree. Amidst the admiring and astonished glances of onlookers, he pulled out a mobile phone from his backpack and made a call.

  "Xiao Yu jie, I am Xiao Jun, is Su jie here?"

  The phone was answered by Guo Xiaoyu, and it seemed that the surrounding area was still quite noisy, with a clear DJ melody. It was guessed that Yang Jing might be dancing in the living room again, and as soon as he thought of the devilish curves revealed when she danced, Ye Jun's mouth became dry. He began to think about how to make his move, not just for the sake of future happiness, but also for the sake of the Yang family gathering. To put it bluntly, as long as one had a bit of ambiguous relationship with the Yang family, they could attend the annual family reunion held on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and although Hu Youcai had relied on his relationship with Yang Wan to infiltrate this top domestic financial group multiple times, he still had nothing to show for it. However, Ye Jun was confident that he would not follow in Hu's footsteps because he knew what the Yang family gathering needed.

  "Wait for you."

  Guo Xiaoyu quickly hung up the phone and then ran to the kitchen, calling over Su Wenyu who was cooking.

  As soon as she heard it was Ye Jun on the phone, Su Wen Yu initially hesitated and didn't know whether to answer or not. After all, what had happened in the early hours of the morning was still fresh in her memory, and towards Ye Jun, she had an instinctive conflict and reverie, just like a favored woman, worried about getting deeper into trouble, yet also worried about ending up in a pitiful situation. Anyway, on the surface, Guo Xiao Yu had an ambiguous relationship with Ye Jun, but was also Dong Su Ning's chosen daughter-in-law, something that Dong Su Ning had often instilled in Su Wen Yu, so Su Wen Yu thought that at least in terms of status, she wasn't as good as Guo Xiao Yu.

  Finally, Su Wen Yu still picked up the receiver with a trembling hand and said softly, "What's wrong?"

  Ye Jun could tell that Su Wen Yu's tone was slightly off, but he didn't think much of it and just smiled: "Sister Su, I'll wait for you in the city center, when are you coming over?"

  "Xiao Jun, I'm still not going, okay?"

  Su Wen Yu felt herself starting to talk nonsense, her delicate face was already flushed with a layer of heat, which made Su Wen Yu gradually feel an uncontrollable heat.

  "No good! Su Jie, you promised me, how can you be so insincere?"

  "But..."

  "No buts, let's meet at the Municipal Trade Building around 2 o'clock, no matter what."

  It seems that Su Wenyu has a hint of evasion, Ye Jun immediately interrupted and cut off a sentence, then hurriedly hung up the phone, not giving Su Wenyu any chance to slip away.

  Hearing the busy tone on the other end of the phone, Su Wen Yu couldn't help but smile wryly as she held the receiver. She fell silent again and returned to the kitchen, her mind wandering about which clothes and sandals to wear when she went out later.

  Ye Jun did not rush to the Commerce Building, but instead returned to the Municipal Hospital to visit Liang Hao's condition. Although he had already awakened, it was unclear whether his body would leave any hidden dangers, and only the chief surgeon's further observation could be waited for.

  As soon as they entered the door, they saw Hu Youcai and Han Kuangqing sitting on chairs with the Liang brothers, chatting nonsense. It seemed that they felt a sudden guest rushing into the room, and they all subconsciously looked up to see who it was. When they found out that the sudden guest was Ye Jun, the four of them simultaneously showed a hint of ambiguity, staring at Ye Jun's crotch as if trying to see flowers come out.

  "It's wet!"

  "I knew it!"

  "Brother is wealthy, brilliant!"

  "What's there to say? I knew long ago that this kid is not only unscrupulous in his actions, but also can't be viewed from a normal person's perspective when it comes to flirting with girls."

  Ye Jun's thoughts were sharp, and combined with the ambiguous glances of this group of people, he was afraid that his disappearance with Bai Bing for two hours after going downstairs might have something worth exploring. Perhaps before it was just a guess whether they would suddenly run to a hotel to open a room, but guesses are always just guesses. When Ye Jun saw his wet and slightly wrinkled pants, this guess also had enough basis to become more and more sinister.

  Hu Youcai burst out laughing and stood up, giving Ye Jun a big bear hug: "I'm telling you, little Jun, come on, tell us, how did you manage to get that beautiful policewoman into bed? Ha! I didn't expect you had such skills. But be careful with your body, this thing is precious, use it sparingly."

  Look, Hu Youcai is getting more and more outrageous, and with the Liang brothers and Han Kuaiqing bursting into laughter, Ye Jun's face couldn't hold up anymore, and he cried out in exasperation: "Brother Cai, look at what you're saying, this was just an accident, not what you think it is."

  "So you'd better explain why you're back so late?"

  Needless to say, Hu Youcai didn't believe it, and even Han Kuangqing and the Liang brothers all had a "you're lying" look on their faces. At this time, Han Kuangqing smiled and said: "You mustn't tell us that you're worried about Officer Bai going home alone being unsafe, so you want to be his escort. Xiao Jun, don't forget that Officer Bai is an armed police officer, those petty thieves wouldn't dare to mess with him."

  Ye Jun suddenly became speechless, realizing that this topic could not be continued, otherwise it would definitely lead to some consequences to clear the suspicion. He smiled and looked at Caishen, saying: "Caige, what about the matter I asked you to help with last time? Is it done?"

  "You didn't mention this matter, I almost forgot."

  At first, Hu Youcai was dazed for a moment, but soon thought of Ye Jun letting him help collect financial statements about Jiangling Chemical Plant.

  When Hu Youcai took out a thick stack of files from his briefcase, ignoring the puzzled looks of Han Kuangqing and others, he frowned and said: "Xiao Jun, I've spent a lot of effort to get these materials, you can't keep anything from me. Although Jiangling Chemical Plant was indeed one of our city's few strong industries in the past, with its outdated technology and messy management in recent years, it's no longer as powerful as before. As the saying goes, 'a dead camel is bigger than a horse', if we don't have to provoke them, let's not provoke them."

  When the problem shifted to Jiangling Chemical Plant, the most interested person was undoubtedly Vice Mayor Han Kuangqing of Jiangling City. As for the gradual elimination of Jiangling Chemical Plant by the times, officials like Han Kuangqing who did practical things for the people were not without heartache, after all, Jiangling Chemical Plant had also brought too many unforgettable honors to this city.

  As for the stack of files in his hand, Ye Jun dared to conclude that Hu Youcai had carefully flipped through them and had also guessed what Ye Jun was planning. However, from Hu Youcai's perspective, even if it were true as he suspected, Ye Jun's plan to take advantage of the situation and squeeze out the remaining value of Jiangling Chemical Plant would be an extremely unwise move. After all, Jiangling Chemical Plant had made contributions to Jiangling City, the entire province, and even the whole country. If anyone really wanted to profit from it, many people would have to lend a hand to support this struggling enterprise on the verge of collapse.

  According to Ye Jun's original calculation, since that highly controversial article "On Urban Construction and Industrial Pollution" had not been published for a long time, Ye Jun did not mind taking the lead in pouring oil on the fire, or imitating or plagiarizing, and forcing himself to write a copy of the original paper. Of course, Ye Jun would not take credit for this, but planned to give this achievement as a favor to someone, only the original target was the financial god of Jiangling City in front of him, but since Han Kuangqing had gradually become involved in the team that Ye Jun had been trying to build from the beginning, it was unreasonable to be thick-skinned and thin-skinned.

  Duan Xia smiled and looked at the four curious eyes in front of him, pretending to be thoughtful: "If a highly controversial article appears in Jiangling City, titled 'On Urban Construction and Industrial Pollution', when this article is born and receives unanimous praise from the municipal government and even the province, let's think about it, which company in our Jiangling City will be unlucky first?"

  Jiangling Chemical Plant...

  Han Kuangqing muttered subconsciously, and as soon as the words came out, he suddenly woke up with a start, incredulously saying: "Xiao Jun, what do you mean by this? Could it be that someone has written a shocking thesis?"

  "That's right."

  Ye Jun smiled and took out an envelope from his backpack, which was slightly bulging, seemingly containing a stack of not-too-thick documents. This paper was the original draft that he had written over the past few days, recalling and writing in his free time. Although it differed from the original "On Urban Construction and Industrial Pollution" in some details, the overall direction was undoubtedly the same. Of course, Ye Jun was very confident that this paper would be more persuasive than the one written by the original author in his previous life. With his talents of "extensive knowledge" and "cunning", writing a few tens of thousands of words wouldn't take much time for him. Adding to that the rich experience accumulated from his past life, Ye Jun dared to guarantee that this paper, which might be considered as imitation or even plagiarism, would definitely be more outstanding than the original one.

  At this point, he quietly muttered something like "That unknown author, don't blame me for stealing your thunder" and then handed the article to Han Kuangqing.

  Han Kuangqing initially just smiled and didn't take it seriously, but when the atmosphere was right, he smiled and opened the envelope, thinking that it would be some student papers written by top students like Ye Jun, far from reaching the standard of "mou zheng". However, as Han Kuangqing began to read the paper carefully, his originally smiling face first showed surprise, then incredulity, followed by shock, and finally a near-obsessive attention to every word, fearing that he might miss even one character!

  It took Han Kuangqing a full half hour to finish reading the last word, and he couldn't believe it: "Xiao Jun, whose handwriting is this?"

  "Guess, Uncle Han," said Ye Jun with a smile.

  Seeing Ye Jun's calm and collected demeanor, Han Kuangqing was initially hesitant to confirm, but gradually, a absurd thought arose, and he suddenly pointed at the paper in his hand, shocked, saying: "Could it be that this paper was written by you?"
