Siheyuan: Father Yi Zhonghai and Sister-in-law Lou Xiaoe

"Come on, I'll treat you!"

Xu Damao nodded.

"You're not sincere. If you want to invite me, we have to start with Lao Mo."

Yi Bufan took out a peony cigarette and gave one to Xu Damao.

"If I become a leader someday, I will definitely treat you to a meal at Lao Mo."

"Where is this going?"

Xu Damao saw that Yi Bufan did not go to the first cafeteria.

"The third cafeteria, there are stupid people in the first cafeteria, and they are giving us a headache."

"I don't trust what they make for us."

Yi Bufan plans to ask Nan Yi to give him some special treatment.

"You are really cautious."

"But it's good."

Xu Damao lit a cigarette.

"What's the matter? Tell me, we can talk while we walk."

Yi Bufan blew out a few smoke rings.

"Zhu Xiaoming said that the deputy director of our publicity department is about to retire, and I want to be the deputy director."

Xu Damao has been struggling with this matter. After all, he also feels that he is much stronger than Mao Tai.

The conditions are favorable in all aspects.

"That's a good thing."

"I need to help you make the decision."

Yi Bufan glanced at Xu Damao.

"But, Zhu Xiaoming said, I may not be able to do it."

Xu Damao sighed.

"why?"

"No, just finish what you want to say at once, and don't sigh."

Yi Bufan was a little anxious.

"Zhu Xiaoming said that my father-in-law is Lou Bancheng, Mr. Lou."

"If it was in the past, it would definitely be a good thing."

"But recently, several capitalists were arrested and investigated again. They were reported to have hidden a lot of money."

"People like my father-in-law will probably be investigated again. It's only a matter of time."

"This makes my identity a little embarrassing."

"Naturally, it's impossible for me to be the deputy director."

Xu Damao expressed all his grievances in one breath.

"I see."

Yi Bufan echoed.

I was thinking in my heart that this was going to be a premature catastrophe.

According to my understanding of the plot of the drama, the incident involving Lou Bancheng should have happened about four years later. How come it happened earlier?

"What do you think?"

Yi Bufan and Xu Damao stopped in the corner.

Although the weather is cold, both of them are worried.

"I do not know either!"

"According to Zhu Xiaoming, he wanted me to get a divorce and completely cut off all ties with Lou Bancheng."

"Not only will there be no problem with being the deputy director of the Propaganda Department now, but you will not be implicated in this matter in the future either."

"But, Ezi is pregnant!"

"I haven't had a child for several years, and now..."

Xu Damao was very conflicted.

"If you weren't pregnant, would you have chosen to divorce?"

Yi Bufan looked at Xu Damao. According to what Xu Damao said, this should be what he meant.

"In fact, Ezi has proposed divorce to me several times before, but I did not agree."

Xu Damao now doesn’t know whether he regrets not getting divorced at that time.

If they really get divorced, the child will be gone.

"Have you ever thought that the reason you haven't had a baby is because of you?"

"It was so hard to get pregnant..."

Although Yi Bufan felt that Xu Damao's divorce was the right choice, he couldn't show it too obviously now.

"I've thought about it, but now I'm pregnant."

"If I divorce Ezi now, wouldn't it be inappropriate?"

Xu Damao looked at Yi Bufan.

"What did you say?"

Isn't this obvious? Is there any need to ask?

Yi Bufan felt that Xu Damao wanted to get an answer that was against his will.

"I know I shouldn't do this, but once it's ruined, it will last a lifetime."

"I may never have a chance to move up again."

Xu Damao was very conflicted.

"Are you sure that if you get divorced, you will definitely be able to become the deputy director of the Propaganda Department and rise to the top?"

Yi Bufan threw away the almost finished cigarette and stepped on it.

"This, the probability is still quite high. There is only one competitor now."

In fact, Xu Damao thought of what Zhu Xiaoming said.

If you can report Lou Bancheng, you will definitely be able to make a contribution.

By then, you can become a leader at a higher level.

However, Xu Damao is not that bad yet.

"I can't make this decision for you."

"I'm afraid you'll regret it later. You still have to think it through yourself."

Yi Bufan felt that Lou Bancheng didn't have much time left.

If what Zhu Xiaoming said is true, then these capitalists will be targeted in no time.

"I know this."

After Xu Damao finished speaking, he also threw away the cigarette butt.

"You said, if I divorce Ezi now, she is still pregnant."

"Am I a beast then?"

Xu Damao was silent for a moment and looked at Yi Bufan.

"You can't say he's a beast, but he's pretty beastly anyway."

Yi Bufan smiled bitterly.

In fact, Xu Damao already had the answer in his heart.

"You kid... just don't look down on me when the time comes."

Xu Damao was a little worried.

"I am Xiao Ran's man, you are Xiao Ran's brother, what can I do?"

"You can do whatever you want."

Yi Bufan smiled and shook his head.

Xu Damao did nothing wrong in this matter.

After all, no one can hide Lou Bancheng's identity as a capitalist in this era.

Can only be implicated.

"Should we go to the cafeteria to eat?"

Xu Damao looked at the third cafeteria not far ahead.

"Do you have anything else to do?"

Yi Bufan asked back.

"This matter is already disturbing enough, what else can happen?"

Xu Damao gave Yi Bufan a cold look.

"Then let's go, save some money to buy meat to eat at home."

Yi Bufan said this and turned and left. Xu Damao also hesitated for a moment and left.

After returning to the office, Yi Bufan smoked two cigarettes in a row.

"Brother Fan, if you have anything to do, just go and do it."

"Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to clean up the ashes on the ground."

Xiao Wu looked at the cigarette ashes on the ground and felt it was not appropriate to let Yi Bufan do it alone.

"Makes sense!"

"I have to go out."

Yi Bufan did what he said and got up and went out.

"I was just saying it casually!"

"Why do you take it seriously?"

Xiao Wu was dumbfounded.

"So Brother Fan can be the captain, but you can't!"

“This is called vigorous and resolute action!”

Xiaoliu patted Xiaowu on the shoulder and went out with a smile.

......

Yi Bufan looked across at Lou Xiao'e's small second floor, then glanced around. There shouldn't be anyone watching.

"You are Yi Bufan, right?"

After opening the door, Tan Yali hesitated for a moment.

"Auntie, it's me!"

Yi Bufan smiled and nodded.

"you alone?"

Tan Yali looked behind and thought it was someone who followed Lou Xiaoe.

"Yes, I have something to ask my uncle, is he here?"

After much thought, Yi Bufan decided that he should let Lou Bancheng make plans early.
