202: Chapter 203: Thoughtful Little Cotton Jacket 202: Chapter 203: Thoughtful Little Cotton Jacket Su Luoluo wasn’t very familiar with Li Qianqian, she only knew that Li Qianqian was the deputy mayor’s daughter and that Ye Qiu had saved her life. However, Su Luoluo didn’t expect that Ye Qiu and Li Qianqian were now that close. It was very obvious that the two had just kissed. When Su Luoluo looked at Ye Qiu with that strange gaze, Ye Qiu ignored Su Luoluo and instead fixed his eyes on the Immortal Cultivation novel. He wasn’t afraid at all that Su Luoluo would tell Liu Lingxiu about this. Now Su Luoluo understood, no wonder Ye Qiu had become so cold toward her. Now, at least what she knew, both Liu Lingxiu and Li Qianqian were interested in him. In such a situation, there was no need for Ye Qiu to fawn over her like before. Su Luoluo muttered in her heart, feeling that Ye Qiu was indeed different. Otherwise, why would even Li Qianqian like him? Li Qianqian drove straight to the Jinling City government building. When she arrived downstairs at the building, she took the elevator up to her father’s office door. Knocking on the door and finding it unlocked, Li Qianqian wondered where her father had gone. Just as she was about to pull out her phone to call him, her father’s secretary, Xiao Zhang, passed by in the hallway. “Miss Qianqian, why are you here?” Secretary Xiao Zhang was naturally very familiar with Li Qianqian. “Uncle Zhang, I have something to discuss with my father.” Li Qianqian said. “Mayor Li is in a meeting. You can wait in your father’s office for a while; the meeting should be over soon.” Secretary Xiao Zhang opened Li Zhiguo’s office door, letting Li Qianqian in to sit for a bit. He poured her a cup of water before returning to his busy work. Basically, all of Li Zhiguo’s work required Xiao Zhang to handle it; he had a lot to do. He just assumed that Li Qianqian had some personal matter to discuss with her father. Li Qianqian had been to this office many times before. The decorations inside were still very clean and austere. Apart from the desk with the party flag and the national flag, the rest were books. Li Qianqian waited there for about ten minutes. Hearing the familiar sound of her father’s footsteps in leather shoes, she knew he must be coming. Sure enough, Li Zhiguo, with his familiar smiling face, walked in with Secretary Xiao Zhang. “Dad, why do you have meetings every day?” Li Qianqian asked coquettishly. Normally, Li Qianqian lived in the university dormitory. Although Jinling University wasn’t far from her family villa, during the school term, she preferred to stay at the university. Commuting back and forth was too tiring, and she didn’t have to wake up so early. Li Zhiguo, having not seen his daughter for some time, noticed she had become more beautiful and spiritually radiant. He asked, “What brings my precious daughter here?” “Dad, it’s both business and personal.” Secretary Xiao Zhang felt a bit strange upon hearing this, but Li Zhiguo laughed. When Li Qianqian handed over those fine tickets from Ye Qiu, Li Zhiguo looked at them for a while. Although he felt there was something wrong with the tickets, he couldn’t figure out where Li Qianqian had gotten them from. Secretary Xiao Zhang also took a look. It was clearly a fine of fifty thousand, but someone had written five hundred thousand on it. “Ye Qiu’s restaurant was extorted during renovation.” Upon hearing this, Li Zhiguo seemed to understand why his beloved daughter had come to find him. It must be for Ye Qiu again. The last time, Ye Qiu had been expelled from school, and Li Zhiguo had already forgotten about it. But now, hearing Li Qianqian mentioning Ye Qiu again, he remembered the young man. “How has he been lately?” Li Zhiguo asked after sitting down. “Dad, he’s teaching at No. 3 High School, but he opened a restaurant, which I mentioned to you before.” Li Qianqian said. Li Zhiguo seemed to recall that Li Qianqian had mentioned Ye Qiu opened a restaurant serving imperial cuisine, and she had even eaten dishes cooked by Ye Qiu. She had mentioned it to Lu Xiuyu, who had also spoken to him about it. However, Li Zhiguo had too many matters to handle, and such minor details slipped his mind. “So what’s the deal with these fines? Who extorted him?” Li Zhiguo asked. Li Qianqian explained in detail what had happened during Ye Qiu’s renovation incident. Li Zhiguo and Secretary Zhang understood immediately. Clearly, some officials below were trying to take advantage of the situation to line their pockets. Those urban management and supervision bureau staff were certainly trying to use this to force Ye Weidong to pay the money; otherwise, the renovation couldn’t proceed. According to normal penalties, Li Zhiguo knew that a fifty-thousand fine was already substantial. Unexpectedly, now they were demanding five hundred thousand, with only fifty thousand going to the treasury. The remaining four hundred fifty thousand must have been divided among lower-level officials. Normally, if it were someone else, Li Zhiguo wouldn’t want to intervene. These matters fell under the jurisdiction of other officials. But since this involved Ye Qiu, it was different. This matter had to be dealt with, and he needed to make an example of it to deter others. Otherwise, such actions happening under his nose were unacceptable. Given the current situation, Li Zhiguo knew that the time for the upcoming rotation and elections was nearing. It was an opportunity to make an impression on higher-ups. “Qianqian, leave the fines here. I’ll have someone handle it.” “Dad, I know Ye Qiu didn’t come to me for the money. He can easily earn money from treating wealthy patients now. He just doesn’t want to be harassed during his renovation work.” “Qianqian, I understand. I’ll help you handle this.” Li Zhiguo said. He naturally knew that for ordinary people in business, nothing was more daunting than dealing with such troubles. “Dad, I’ll head back to school now. I have classes in the afternoon.” “Go on, drive safely.” Li Qianqian left her father’s office, took the elevator down, and got into her red Beetle, driving back to Jinling University. Upon arriving at the Jinling University dormitory, Li Qianqian called Ye Qiu. Once Ye Qiu picked up, Li Qianqian said, “Ye Qiu, I’ve spoken to my dad. He said he will handle it.” Ye Qiu, hearing that it was Li Qianqian calling, stepped out to the staircase outside the classroom to take the call. Although Su Luoluo didn’t know who was calling Ye Qiu, her feminine intuition told her it must be Li Qianqian. She hadn’t expected that the two, having just parted recently, would be in contact again so soon. They were really close. Even if Ye Qiu hadn’t personally asked Li Qianqian to seek her father’s help, Ye Qiu knew he could resolve it himself, albeit with some time and hassle. But if Li Zhiguo handled it, the situation would be different. As soon as Li Qianqian left, Secretary Zhang closed the door. Li Zhiguo said, “Xiao Zhang, take care of this matter. If handled well, you’ll replace the branch bureau head during the next reassignment.”
