Game within game: chess player

In the next three days, Duanmu Ruoyu went out to discuss business, and Duanmu Ruoyu stayed in Xiyuan to accompany Ye Fang. Usually, Ma Lingyun would automatically avoid Duanmu Ruoyu when he was there.

In the end, Duanmu Ruoyu couldn't help but ask the question he had been holding in his heart for a long time. Ye Fang seemed to have expected it, and told Duanmu Ruoyu how he and Xiaozhuang met. Duanmu Ruoyu has never experienced true love, and he couldn't help but burst into tears after listening to Ye Fang's story. At the same time, Duanmu Ruoyu also saw Xiaozhuang's photo, and was shocked that there were two people so similar in the world.

When Duanmu Ruoyu knew Xiaozhuang's story, he suddenly found that he and Ye Fang could no longer find a more suitable topic. In Duanmu Ruoyu's subconscious, he always thought that he seemed to be Xiaozhuang's substitute. Guess It was actually for this reason that Ye Fang approached him in the first place. She seemed like she could no longer find her place and didn't know whether she should continue her relationship with Ye Fang or stop it.

Or become lifelong friends.

However, Duanmucheng very much hopes that his daughter will date Ye Fang, even if it means becoming Xiaozhuang's replacement. After all, the resources around Ye Fang are so incredible. With such a background and backing, Duanmucheng is very confident that he will be able to succeed in Sanzhuang. Within the year, the business volume of his group in mainland China will be expanded tenfold.

However, it is obvious that Duanmu Ruoyu is not willing to be a substitute for any woman. At the same time, it is not just because of this reason. It is because he can't see a trace of love in Ye Fang's eyes. Some may just be appreciation and nostalgia. . Duanmu Ruoyu may not be able to understand this kind of complex emotion for the time being, but when she looked back at Ye Fang after learning about Xiaozhuang, she found that Ye Fang was actually very, very far away from her.

The business in Duanmucheng is going very smoothly, and finally the father and daughter are returning to Binhai. Before leaving, Ye Fang gave Duanmucheng an order, that is, the building materials needed for the residential project developed by Defang Real Estate today will be supplied by Duanmucheng's company. This made Duanmucheng overjoyed and made him feel that he had treated his daughter Ruoruo like this. The cards were played right.

Before getting in the car, Duanmu Ruoyu asked Ye Fang, "Will you come to Binhai to see me again?"

"Yes." Ye Fang replied firmly.

"It's a deal!" After Duanmu Ruoyu said this, he got in the car and left Xiyuan without any regrets.

"This girl is pretty good too." Ma Lingyun stood behind Ye Fang and whispered.

Ye Fang's eyes slowly retracted as the car left, and he said slowly, "Okay! Just enjoy it!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked back to Xiyuan.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of March. Ye Fang's injuries were already almost healed, the stitches on his abdominal incision had been removed, and Ma Lingyun's medical team could withdraw.

Before leaving, Ma Lingyun took the trouble to tell Ye Fang not to take it lightly and to rest for a while. After Ye Fang made countless guarantees, Ma Lingyun finally left Xiyuan. This made Ye Fang take a long breath and feel that the sky was bluer.

There was also another major event at the end of March, that is, Liu Jianbai left Binhai and officially started working in Beijing. The name of the new unit was the Discipline...Inspection Committee. Anyway, it was a unit that Ye Fang had never heard of before, and he couldn't figure out what it did. After Liu Jianbai reported to his new unit in the capital, he immediately called Ye Fang. The main idea on the phone was to get the courtyard house that Ye Fang promised to give him.

Ye Fang had Gu Zhuoyi prepare this courtyard house a long time ago, and then asked Zhou Kai to find a professional courtyard house decoration company to renovate it. The project that was carried out at the same time as this courtyard house was to build an underground parking lot under Xiyuan. This underground parking lot can park twenty cars at the same time, and there are more than a dozen rooms of different sizes. The decoration is low-key and luxurious.

Liu Jianbai asked Ye Fang to wait at the gate of Xiyuan. He would arrive in 10 minutes, and then they went to see the courtyard together.

Ye Fang put down the document in his hand, shook his head and said, "You want a courtyard house from me for nothing, and I won't give you a penny!"

Ten minutes later, a black Hongqi car slowly stopped at the entrance of Xiyuan. The passenger door opened and a man in his 10s who looked like a secretary got out. He quickly walked to the back and opened the door. Liu Jianbai got out of the car and greeted Ye Fang. boarding.

Ye Fang asked Su Long to drive behind him, and he sat directly in the back seat with Liu Jianbai. Ye Fang told the driver an address and the car drove away from Xiyuan.

After getting in the car, Ye Fang couldn't help but complain, "I'll give you the key and you can go directly. I'm still in the rest stage, and the doctor told me to exercise as little as possible."

"The doctor told you to exercise less, but he didn't tell you not to move. You've been in the garden for so long, and you're almost hairy. It's time to go out for a walk. I'll also show you the door for your convenience later. Move around." Liu Jianbai said.

"You are an official and I am a citizen. If nothing happens, I will not go to your place. Besides, your committee has no real power. What can I do to come to your place? You are not in Binhai. I might still Looking for you to do something." Ye Fang said nonchalantly.

"I have no real power here? Are you saying I have no real power here?" Liu Jianbai was so angry that he almost strangled Ye Fang to death. For an official illiterate like Ye Fang, Liu Jianbai really had no choice. If it weren't for the presence of his secretary and driver, Liu Jianbai would definitely educate Ye Fang.

At this time, Liu Jianbai's secretary handed Liu Jianbai a water glass and said, "Drink some water."

Liu Jianbai glanced at Ye Fang angrily, took the water glass and took a sip. When he handed it back to his secretary, he casually said, "This is my secretary Tang Ji. If it is inconvenient to find me, you can contact him directly in the future."

"Mr. Ye, hello, my name is Tang Ji, and I am a person who cares about the world." Tang Ji emphasized it specially.

"Ye Fang!" Ye Fang reached out and introduced Tang Ji, and then Tang Ji introduced the driver and guard Jin Yong. Jin Yong is a veteran in his early twenties and doesn't like to talk much. When he was introduced, he just nodded to Ye Fang as a greeting.

Then Tang Ji and Ye Fang exchanged phone numbers.

The courtyard that Ye Fang gave to Liu Jianbai was in Nanluogu Lane. It was a small courtyard with two entrances. The courtyard was not big but very quiet. There was a cypress tree in the middle, which just fit Liu Jianbai's name. The interior of the courtyard is decorated in an ancient style, and the furniture fits the overall decoration style, giving people a low-key and solemn feeling, which is very suitable for Liu Jianbai's living and working conditions at this time.

Liu Jianbai has a daughter who is now at Binhai University. Liu Jianbai's lover is Guo Xiuping, who works in the Binhai Commerce Bureau. Her main task now is to take care of her daughter who is in college. When her daughter graduates from college, Guo Xiuping will also move to the capital to live with Liu Jianbai.

Liu Jianbai was very satisfied with the entire courtyard, especially the cypress tree in the middle of the courtyard, which looked like it had history and made the entire courtyard look full of life.

"Not bad! You are serious." Liu Jianbai nodded and said.

"As long as you like it." Ye Fang said.

Then Liu Jianbai and Ye Fang came to the study. Tang Ji poured them a cup of tea and left.

"Uncle Bai, what is your current department doing? In my impression, government agencies are all departments or bureaus. I have never heard of such a thing." Ye Fang asked curiously.

Liu Jianbai originally wanted to explain it in professional terms, but considering that Ye Fang still didn't have a clear understanding of the knowledge structure of officialdom, Liu Jianbai explained it to Ye Fang in a different way.

"If a country is compared to a class, the classmates in the class are equivalent to various officials, large and small. In the class, there will be monitors, deputy monitors, life committee members, sports committee members, discipline committee members, study committee members, etc. The position is used to manage the class. So the department I am in is equivalent to the role of the disciplinary committee member. The responsibility of this department is to supervise the classmates and committee members at the same level." Liu Jianbai tried to make Ye Fang understand this department in as easy-to-understand terms as possible. role.

"I understand when you say that." Ye Fang nodded.

"This department was merged and established only a short time ago. It did not play a big role before, and the top management was very dissatisfied. So this year we must increase our efforts to build a strong team and punish corruption." Liu Jianbai said firmly.

"This is good, it will benefit the country and the people." After Ye Fang finished speaking, he paused and asked, "Uncle Bai, what is your role in this department?"

"I am the deputy of the department, the first deputy." Liu Jianbai emphasized.

"The deputy position is the deputy position, what else is the first?" Ye Fang, a novice in officialdom, made Liu Jianbai angry. Liu Jianbai shook his head helplessly and said, "The direct leader of this department is already at the center. I am the one who manages the department on a daily basis. Although He is a deputy, but he is actually the head of the department.”

"The composition of your class members and positions is really complicated. Fortunately, I graduated and was not in this class." Ye Fang said thankfully. He had never thought about taking the civil service exam before, but later he felt that life within the system was not suitable for him. Ye Fang's unique character and rigid life and work style made Ye Fang feel that he had no passion.

Liu Jianbai laughed after hearing Ye Fang's words and said, "I really didn't have the chance before. What if I want you to join this class now? Are you willing?"

"Join this class?" Ye Fang said dumbly, then shook his head and said, "I'm not suitable for this person. I can't adapt to the way of working in the system. How can I be so free and comfortable now? Please let me put down this big mess. Going to work at your place? This seems to be inconsistent with the employment requirements within the system."

Liu Jianbai obviously refused to give up easily, and continued to persuade, "You don't need to work in class, and you don't need any attendance cards. No one in this class will even know your existence except me. Your future business will definitely spread all over the country. You will have the opportunity to meet all kinds of good and bad classmates. Don’t you want to deal with those bad classmates who commit adultery, malpractice for personal gain, or even bend the law for personal gain? If you join this department, You can deal with them on behalf of this class. How about it? Think about it."

"Isn't what you are talking about similar to the ancient imperial ministers who had the power to kill first and report later?" Ye Fang asked.

Liu Jianbai nodded and said, "That's pretty much what it means. I will give you a special status, giving you the right to investigate all kinds of bad classmates below a certain level. Of course, this power cannot be used indiscriminately. If used indiscriminately, there will be trouble, but I believe You, you should be able to do well.”

"That's it... if that's the case..." Ye Fang frowned and his mind was spinning rapidly. He wanted to quickly weigh the pros and cons of this matter for his career development and the various emergencies he might face in the future. , and finally Ye Fang decided to agree to Liu Jianbai. Because he saw that this matter was of great benefit to him and not harmful at all. With this Shang Fang sword, Ye Fang would have a big killer weapon when he expanded his territory in the future. Not only can it help the country eliminate harmful substances, but it can also quickly promote the rapid expansion and growth of Jiuding Group.

"Okay, I promise you!" Ye Fang never drags his feet in doing things, so he decisively agreed to Liu Jianbai's invitation and decided to join Liu Jianbai's big ship.

"Okay! That's what I've been waiting for." Liu Jianbai slapped his thigh and said happily, "I will give you a level and position. I will ask Xiao Tang to send you the relevant certificates and work rules in two days. You You must first be familiar with various business processes and operating methods. If you don’t understand something, you can ask Xiao Tang. Xiao Tang has been working in grassroots institutions for many years and has great experience in some practical case-handling techniques.”

"Okay, it just so happens that I have nothing to do in the garden during this period. I will study hard. Please don't worry, leader!" Ye Fang said solemnly.

"I can rest assured that you will do the work!" Liu Jianbai affirmed.

"Uncle Bai, Hong Kong and Macau have returned to China. Are they two among the classmates in this class?" Ye Fang asked casually.

"These two places have their own laws and regulations, and domestic laws cannot govern them. However, we have a co-investigation mechanism with the Independent Commission Against Corruption in these two places, and we will keep in contact with each other, and we can cooperate in handling cases when necessary. You Why are you asking? Your business should not involve Hong Kong and Macau for the time being." Liu Jianbai asked.

"I'm just asking casually. I need to know where the boundaries of my power are. At least I need to know which level of bad students I can control, and which level I have to invite Tathagata Buddha to control. Do you think this is true?" Ye Fang asked with a smile.

After hearing this, Liu Jianbai nodded and said, "Don't say it, it's still true. If this golden cudgel is handed over to you, the monkey, I'm really worried that you will poke a hole in the sky."

"It's okay, as long as Tathagata Buddha is standing behind me, he can mend it even if it's broken."

Ye Fang said this and Liu Jianbai looked at each other and smiled.

After seeing Ye Fang off, Liu Jianbai returned to his study and sat behind his desk, meditating. At this time, Tang Ji knocked on the door and walked in and asked, "Boss, are you staying here tonight, or are you going back to the western suburbs?"

"Just live here, it's quieter here." At this time, Liu Jianbai did not have the gentleness when talking to Ye Fang, but instead had a cold face and a sharp sword-like gaze.

"Okay, then I'll transfer some of the guards and support staff over." After speaking, Tang Ji bowed slightly and turned to leave.

"And." After saying these two words, Liu Jianbai looked up at Tang Jisurong and said, "Don't mention tonight's matter to anyone. I don't want anyone else to know about this place."

"Yes."

"Send Ye Fang's identity information to him when you are ready." Liu Jianbai said solemnly.

"Yes."

Tang Ji walked out of the study and gently closed the door. Looking at the neat courtyard and facilities, Tang Ji became even more curious about Ye Fang's identity. He didn't understand what kind of charm and energy this young man of similar age had that Liu Jianbai valued so much that he even violated the principle of employment and gave him this Shang Fang Sword. With this Shang Fang Sword, Ye Fang could be said to have conquered all directions without hesitation. If you go too far, it will make thousands of bad classmates tremble.

Tang Ji felt that he must have a good relationship with Ye Fang. This young man was Liu Jianbai's heart treasure and could not be replaced.

Ye Fang, who was sitting in the business car at this time, was stroking his still painful abdomen and meditating with his eyes closed. Liu Jianbai took such a big step tonight that Ye Fang was a little flattered. He accidentally became a member of the system. , and he also plays the role of an imperial envoy, which has such a great attraction for Ye Fang that he cannot resist at all.

If Ye Fang used to take advantage of his power, today Ye Fang will have his own power within the system. This is a huge change for Ye Fang. This new identity will give Ye Fang more power.

Suddenly Ye Fang's phone rang. When Ye Fang looked at the phone, it turned out to be Li Huaishan from Yuanshan Trading! After the call was connected, Li Huaishan's panicked voice came from the other side.

"Mr. Ye, it's bad! The equipment shipped from Germany has been detained in Hong Kong!"
