I am doing well in the Siheyuan

Ran's father greeted him warmly: "Old Hou, come in quickly. Is everything settled at home? How come you have time to come to my place today? Are you here to see Xiao Ye? Unfortunately, he has gone to work at this time."

The two haven't seen each other for some time.

Father Ran was always concerned about the current situation of Marquis Polan. Although he looked much more shabby, his spirits were still good.

"Teacher Ran, I came to see you today."

"Looking for me?" Father Ran was stunned and subconsciously exchanged glances with Mother Ran.

Judging from the look on Marquis Paola's face, he wasn't just coming here to reminisce about the past.

"Old Hou, what happened?" Father Ran handed over a cup of freshly brewed tea and asked about the purpose of Old Hou's visit.

"It's nothing serious, don't worry. I just can't figure out one thing, so I came to you to verify it. Teacher Ran, is the reason I was released the result of Ye Ming's secret help?"

"Since even you have guessed it, it seems redundant to ask me this question again." This is not a secret that cannot be told, and Ran's father has no intention of hiding it.

"It's indeed this kid..." Although he already had a hunch in his heart, Hou Polan still felt dazed when he heard it confirmed by Ran's father.

Thinking of the criticisms he had made about Ye Ming behind his back these days, Hou Polan couldn't help but feel ashamed.

"Teacher Ran, do you have any wine?" Not knowing what kind of emotional fluctuations Hou Polan had experienced, Ran's father still took out a bottle of Fenjiu.

After drinking three cups in one breath, Marquis Polan told the general story.

"Old Ran, I have never done anything wrong in my life. I really made a mistake this time. He was ungrateful and did not distinguish between relatives and strangers. Some people even said that he was guilty of a heinous crime. How can this kid take it so calmly?"

Ran's father and mother knew very little about the specific circumstances of Ye Ming's work abroad.

If you put yourself in their shoes, you will realize that they may not be able to withstand such great pressure.

After learning the truth, Hou Paolan drank two more cups and left soon after.

However, in the evening he came again with two packages.

"Teacher Ran, please help me pass these two things to Ye Ming. When the storm has passed, we will come and apologize in person."

At this time, Ye Ming did not know that Marquis Polan and Uncle Guan had already seen through his thoughts.

When the bell rang for the end of get off work, he rode his bicycle to his superior's home.

The original lively scene was no longer there, and Ye Ming understood that this storm might have affected the superior leader himself.

Even if you are in a high position, there will be times when you feel powerless.

"Don't talk about anything else, drink the medicine first."

"I know my own body condition very well, and it's fine!"

"If you're fine, why would I let you go to the south to recuperate?"

Hearing this, the superior fell silent.

The upper echelons have begun to clean up, and his power is gradually being weakened.

Relatives and friends all avoided each other, and the monkeys scatter when the tree falls. Although such an outcome is expected, facing the reality still makes people feel heavy.

"Boss, you don't listen to your sister again, right?"

Just when the atmosphere was depressing, Ye Ming walked into the living room.

When they saw him, the superior leader and his wife smiled.

Ever since the incident at home, Ye Ming was the only one who remained consistent with them.

"Xiao Ye, you came at the right time. Go and persuade him. He can't refuse to take medicine."

"I've already said I'm not sick, why should I take medicine if I'm not sick?"

Listening to their bickering, Ye Ming smiled slightly, then took the bowl of medicine from the leader's wife.

Once again, I conducted a routine physical examination for my superiors.

Overall, there is nothing serious, just a slightly high blood pressure and a slightly weak constitution.

"Leader, you still have to take this medicine on time. Although it can't cure the disease, it can at least relieve the discomfort."

"Just help your sister."

Although he rolled his eyes at Ye Ming, the leader finally followed his advice and took the medicine.

"Xiaoye, your reputation doesn't seem to be very good recently?"

The leader was well aware of Ye Ming’s background and principles of action—every action had its own meaning.

However, it is not a good idea to be in long-term confrontation with the people.

This torrent of public opinion will eventually pass, and when the time comes for reckoning, Ye Ming may become the target of public criticism, and no matter how much he explains, it will be difficult to gain trust.

"Oh, what are you saying? Didn't the Municipal Revolutionary Committee just commend me? The banner is hung on the wall of my house. As for public opinion, I haven't seen anyone openly talking about me in public."

Everyone knows what he does outside.

Apart from his family, this leader was the only one who could give him unreserved trust and support at the critical moment.

Without his full support, Ye Ming would not have been able to accumulate the capital to make a living in such a short period of time.

Seeing Ye Ming pretending to know nothing, the leader laughed and scolded: "Forget it, you must have a backup plan, why should I worry about you?"

"Leader, you understand me best."

Before he finished speaking, Ye Ming's expression suddenly became serious.

"I just heard from my sister that the higher-ups are planning to transfer you out of the city?"

Hearing this question, the leader laughed at himself, with a look of loneliness on his face.

"This matter has been put on the agenda. I will probably take my whole family south soon."

The situation is such that even though Ye Ming seems to be quite powerful, he still seems powerless in the face of the tide of the times.

This leader has a stubborn personality and seems easy-going on weekdays, but on major issues of right and wrong, he sticks to his principles and never compromises.

When conflicts cannot be reconciled, such an outcome is inevitable.

Although he had tried his best, Ye Ming still felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

"It's okay, just think of it as a trip to the south, everything has been arranged, don't worry.

As for you, you should try to avoid making enemies. The identity of a member of the Municipal Revolutionary Committee is not a talisman. Once you are targeted by some big shots, you will be in big trouble. I can't help you now."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

After staying with his leader for some time, Ye Ming returned home with a lot on his mind.

As the sun was about to set, Ye Ming returned home.

Seeing Ye Ming coming back, Ran's father immediately went forward to greet him.

"Old Hou came today and asked me some questions about you. He also asked me to pass two packages to you."

Ye Ming was stunned for a moment, unable to figure out the purpose of Marquis Polan's action.

However, when he saw the two things in the package, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn.

"Is it the box? And the four small enamel bowls? Dad, what else did he say?"

Everyone was confused as they had never seen Ye Ming's emotions fluctuate so drastically.

"He said that he would personally come to apologize after the storm is over."

Ran's father didn't understand, but Ran Qiuye was already in tears.

She knew very well how much grievance and pressure Ye Ming had endured these days. If it were an ordinary person, it would have been unbearable.

The attitude of the Tattered Marquis says it all.

At least someone understood Ye Ming.

"I love the lotus because it grows out of the mud but remains unstained, and is pure and clear without being coquettish."
