204: Chapter 205: Relationship Eases 204: Chapter 205: Relationship Eases For Li Zhiguo and Secretary Zhang, blowing the wind at the meeting was just the first step, and tomorrow’s news report was the second step. Many officials thought about whether they or their family members had done such things after the meeting, or whether they had been caught in some way. The officials all knew that Li Zhiguo would never mention it at the meeting for no reason; there must be a reason. Li Zhiguo and Secretary Zhang came out from the meeting. Li Zhiguo went back to his office first, and Secretary Zhang followed behind. Just as Secretary Zhang was about to return to his office, another official immediately came after him and asked, “Secretary Zhang, can you give us a hint about the spirit of today’s meeting?” “What hint? I don’t know anything.” Secretary Zhang replied. “Secretary Zhang, that’s not right. We’re buddies; tell us something to make us relax.” “Director Liu, this is not something I can say. It’s the spirit of the meeting conveyed by the higher-ups. You should go back and check whether your department has such issues. If there are no problems, there’s nothing to worry about. If there are problems, they need to be handled according to laws and regulations.” Secretary Zhang spoke very courteously, with official rhetoric. The other officials understood that this matter was definitely not simple. They could only thank Secretary Zhang and leave to check whether their departments had recently engaged in excessive fines. … Last night, Ye Weidong had already handed over those fines to Ye Qiu, but he didn’t know how Ye Qiu solved it. However, after paying the 500,000 yuan fine, he did not sleep well last night. He kept tossing and turning, feeling that spending money this way was really too extravagant. Although Ye Qiu had given him two million yuan, in Ye Weidong’s view, that two million yuan was enough to renovate the entire hotel very luxuriously. Unexpectedly, now that the renovation had just started, a quarter of the money was already spent, making him so distressed that he couldn’t sleep. Now he came to the hotel, and when he saw A Dog Six, he was really both angry and wanting to scold him. But since it had been decided to let him stay, there was no point in saying more. A Dog Six had also become more silent, not daring to talk and brag like before, because he knew he could be sent back to his hometown at any time. Ye Weidong smoked downstairs, watching those renovation workers from his hometown busy setting up iron frames, continuing from the third floor they had already built to the fourth and fifth floors. Because of A Dog Six’s incident and the fine, Ye Weidong and the contractor Ye Fugui indeed paid attention to production safety issues. Neither of them wanted another accident like A Dog Six’s. However, Ye Weidong also knew that after paying the fine, the urban management and safety production supervision bureau staff who occasionally came to cause trouble or sabotage no longer came to obstruct and cause trouble. It was like paying a protection fee; those thugs stopped causing trouble. In Ye Weidong’s view, it was just like that. However, Ye Weidong was still worried. The urban management and safety supervision bureau might not come, but there were still the health department, fire department, and other departments. He didn’t know if they would come to trouble him at some point. He had encountered such a situation before when he was running a porridge and noodle shop, so he was worried. Now he wondered if Ye Qiu had really solved it. Ye Weidong sat there, frowning and smoking; the hotel renovation was far from complete, but a large part of the money was already spent. If he had known it would be like this, Ye Weidong thought it would have been better to continue running the porridge and noodle shop. This situation made his previously timid peasant mentality resurface. Ye Qiu didn’t know about this. He only knew that he had told Li Qianqian, and he believed that, after Li Qianqian went to find Li Zhiguo, the matter would be easily resolved. He didn’t know that Li Zhiguo not only wanted to use this matter to solve the hotel’s problem for Ye Qiu but also wanted to solve some personal issues for himself and Secretary Zhang. Ye Qiu, Li Shen, and Zhu Zhiming went to Sina Internet Cafe and continued to play “Monster Continent.” Yesterday, the three played very well together, but because A Dog Six had an accident, Ye Qiu left in a hurry, and Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming followed him, which led to them not playing with much interest yesterday. Now, the three continued to form a team to fight monsters and level up. As soon as Ye Qiu appeared, “Angry Little Lolita” immediately came over. The other party was puzzled. Ye Qiu played so well yesterday; why did he suddenly go offline? “Angry Little Lolita” sent a message asking, “Brother Qiu, why did you suddenly leave yesterday?” Seeing the message from Little Lolita, Ye Qiu thought that if this really were a cute little Lolita, it would be acceptable. But if the other party was a burly uncle with calloused feet, he would definitely feel nauseous. In the virtual world, even with video, it was not always possible to determine the other party’s gender, let alone through text messages. It was even more difficult. Ye Qiu was too lazy to bother with the other party’s messages, whether the other party was male or female, or a little Lolita. Since they wanted to follow, they could follow. However, he definitely wouldn’t let her join the team. Ye Qiu and Li Shen played until 5:15 p.m. They turned off the computer and left the Internet cafe. Ye Qiu returned to the bottom of the teaching building and waited for Liu Lingxiu to come down. After waiting for a while, he saw Liu Lingxiu coming down from upstairs and then getting on Ye Qiu’s electric bike. As Ye Qiu rode away, Su Luoluo naturally saw Liu Lingxiu hugging Ye Qiu tightly from behind. In the afternoon, Su Luoluo had wanted to ask Ye Qiu about math and comprehensive subjects, but unexpectedly, Ye Qiu didn’t pay attention to her at all. Seeing now how intimate Ye Qiu was with Liu Lingxiu, Su Luoluo could see the difference in how Ye Qiu treated her versus how he treated Liu Lingxiu. However, Su Luoluo also recalled the lipstick mark on Ye Qiu’s mouth left by Li Qianqian, and she felt that Ye Qiu was not as devoted to Liu Lingxiu as she had imagined. Returning to Liu Lingxiu’s home, Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu washed their hands and waited for a while. Ye Qiu quickly sat down to have dinner with Liu Lingxiu’s family. After dinner, Liu Lingxiu still wanted to go back to school for evening study. Ye Qiu took Liu Lingxiu back to Jiangbei No. 3 Middle School and went up to the classroom. Ye Qiu sat there for a while, and Su Luoluo quickly came over with some pastries she had specially prepared for Ye Qiu. “These are pastries I prepared for you.” Su Luoluo said. “Just ate, not hungry.” Ye Qiu responded. His tone wasn’t cold, but it wasn’t warm either. In Su Luoluo’s eyes, Ye Qiu’s attitude seemed quite good already. “You can eat them later when you’re hungry during evening study.” Su Luoluo had just finished speaking when she took out her difficult math and comprehensive subject problems. She didn’t want Ye Qiu and Li Shen to go to the internet cafe but stay in the classroom to tutor her. When Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming looked over and saw Ye Qiu and Su Luoluo talking, they didn’t ask much more. However, they were curious that Ye Qiu’s relationship with Su Luoluo seemed much better now.
