I am doing well in the Siheyuan

However, reason told Deputy Director Li that he couldn't do this. Once he did this, the status and position he had fought for half his life would probably vanish overnight.

Deputy Director Li could not bear such consequences.

But he was extremely unwilling to let Deputy Director Li succumb to Liu Haizhong's threats.

As a result, Deputy Director Li fell into a dilemma.

After a full ten minutes of silence, Deputy Director Li's rationality prevailed.

Although extremely reluctant, he chose to swallow his anger for the sake of his hard-earned status and position.

Deputy Director Li took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"Liu Haizhong, I will recommend you at the security captain election meeting."

"But you must promise that nothing about Qin Huairu will be leaked."

When Liu Haizhong heard this, he quickly replied:

"Please rest assured, I will keep Qin Huairu's affairs to myself and will not let anyone else know."

Upon hearing this, Deputy Factory Director Li glanced at Liu Haizhong and continued:

"Remember your promise. Okay, I have something else to do. You can leave now."

Liu Haizhong immediately responded upon hearing this:

"Okay, you go ahead."

After saying that, Liu Haizhong turned around and walked out of the office door.

Watching Liu Haizhong's figure going away, Deputy Director Li's eyes were filled with coldness, and he whispered to himself:

"Liu Haizhong, my recommendation is not something that can be obtained easily."

"Just wait. If I can catch you, I will make your life miserable."

The cold and hard words fell, and Deputy Director Li's tone was full of sharpness.

……

In the following week, as Zhou Xiaobai was about to join the army, Ye Ming took a week off and accompanied Zhou Xiaobai to visit various scenic spots.

While Ye Ming and Zhou Xiaobai were traveling, Liu Haizhong, who had received a promise from Deputy Director Li, began to give gifts to other leaders of the steel rolling mill in order to increase his chances of winning the election for the captain of the steel rolling mill security team.

A few days later, one morning, the election meeting for the security team leader was held as scheduled. Ye Ming did not attend the meeting because he had asked for leave.

At the election meeting, Deputy Director Li recommended Liu Haizhong as agreed. With Deputy Director Li's strong support and Liu Haizhong's recent frequent activities, Liu Haizhong got what he wanted and was honored to be the captain of the steel rolling mill security team.

Liu Haizhong was so excited that his wish came true that he called Liu Guangtian over that night and gave him a severe reprimand.

Faced with the lesson from Liu Haizhong, Liu Guangtian changed his recent arrogant attitude, smiled like a bootlicker, and accepted it all.

Liu Haizhong was very satisfied to see his son Liu Guangtian's performance.

Liu Haizhong, who regained his authority in the family, also improved his status in the steel rolling mill. Those who had previously ignored him now greeted him with a smile and were respectful to him.

All these changes have greatly satisfied Liu Haizhong's vanity.

At this moment, Liu Haizhong feels that he has reached the peak of his life.

However, there is one thing that always seems to be a thorn in his throat. If it is not resolved, Liu Haizhong believes that his current glorious life will not be perfect.

What troubled Liu Haizhong was the fact that he had been rejected by Ye Ming when he asked for help not long ago.

Liu Haizhong decided that he must show off in front of Ye Ming and let him know that even without Ye Ming's help, he could still become the captain of the steel mill security team.

Only by making Ye Ming feel depressed can the knot in his bangs be untied.

Therefore, Liu Haizhong decided to find an opportunity to show off his power in front of Ye Ming and belittle Ye Ming.

If Deputy Director Li knew what Liu Haizhong was thinking at this moment, he would definitely laugh at him for overestimating his own abilities.

As the second-in-command of the steel rolling mill, he did not dare to provoke Ye Ming. You, Liu Haizhong, are just a small security team captain, but you dare to stroke Ye Ming's tiger beard. It's like your forehead was either caught by the door or kicked by a donkey.

……

Time flies, and soon it is the day when Zhou Xiaobai joins the army.

Kyoto Train Station, Platform 3.

Zhou Xiaobai's family, including her parents, several brothers and sisters, and Ye Ming, took time out to see her off. "Xiaobai, when you join the army, you must obey orders and not act willfully. Remember that?" Zhou Zhennan, who was wearing a military uniform, told Zhou Xiaobai. Hearing this, Zhou Xiaobai couldn't help but respond, "I remember that, Dad." Then, her mother, brother, and sister said goodbye to her one by one. Finally, it was Ye Ming's turn.

Zhou Xiaobai's eyes were red, and crystal tears rolled down her cheeks like raindrops. "Ye Ming, I really don't want to leave you." Hearing Zhou Xiaobai's words, Ye Ming said gently: "Silly girl, it's not like we will never see each other again." "Don't cry, go report happily. I promise, we will meet soon." Ye Ming took out a handkerchief to help Zhou Xiaobai wipe away her tears. Zhou Xiaobai stopped crying after hearing this, but her eyes were still red and swollen.

Zhou Xiaobai looked up at Ye Ming and said, "Ye Ming, I will wait for you in the army, you have to come quickly." "Okay." Ye Ming nodded and replied softly. Although Ye Ming has become an advisor to the United Front Work Department of the C Army, he has not yet officially taken office. Zhou Xiaobai hopes that Ye Ming can take up his post as soon as possible, just to meet him as soon as possible.

......

"Xiaobai, the train is about to leave, we should go." At this time, Luo Yun came to Zhou Xiaobai to remind her. Zhou Xiaobai nodded, looked at Ye Ming, and said, "Ye Ming, you have to take good care of yourself after I go to the army." "Also, don't forget what you just promised me." Ye Ming heard this and replied, "Okay." Zhou Xiaobai heard this and nodded. Then, she put on her military green backpack, looked at Ye Ming reluctantly, and boarded the train with Luo Yun.

A few minutes later, the train started slowly. Sitting by the window in the carriage, Zhou Xiaobai stared at Ye Ming, Zhou Zhennan and others with tears in her eyes, waving goodbye. Seeing this scene, Ye Ming on the platform couldn't help but wave goodbye to Zhou Xiaobai. Looking at the train going away, a trace of sadness flashed across Ye Ming's bright eyes.

Although Ye Ming knew that he would be reunited with Zhou Xiaobai soon, this was their first time apart. It was normal for Ye Ming, who was used to Zhou Xiaobai's company, to feel a little sad. After all, no matter how strong Ye Ming was at ordinary times, he was also a flesh-and-blood person.

Just when Ye Ming was immersed in sadness, Zhou Zhennan walked up to him. He stopped, patted Ye Ming on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Ming, don't be too sad. You and Xiao Bai will have a chance to meet again in the future." Hearing Zhou Zhennan's words, Ye Ming regained his former spirit and replied, "Yes, uncle."

Seeing that Ye Ming was no longer immersed in sadness, Zhou Zhennan nodded and asked:

"Ye Ming, when do you plan to report to Army C?"

Zhou Zhennan had long known that Ye Ming had become an advisor to the C Army's Joint Warfare Department. When he first heard the news, he was indeed very surprised.

Later, Zhou Xiaobai told Zhou Zhennan that when Ye Ming first returned to China, he donated weapon design drawings and information that would enable Longguo to lead the military for decades.

Zhou Zhennan then realized that Ye Ming actually had such a legendary experience. To be honest, after learning this, he developed a sincere admiration for Ye Ming.
