Chapter 950: A Chance to Return to the City Bureau!

~8 min read 1,430 words

Around three o'clock in the afternoon.

Wan Ming drove to Yunhu Courtyard.

Wan Ming was very excited along the way.

Because he had the opportunity to pay a New Year's call to the Municipal Organization Department Minister!

Tang Ye was waiting at the entrance.

In Hanzhou, Wan Ming had always been silently taking care of his family.

Tang Ye intended to take advantage of the New Year to let Wan Ming have more contact with his father-in-law.

Wan Ming was a smart man and naturally knew Tang Ye's intentions.

For a cadre, being able to establish a connection with the Municipal Organization Department Minister was such a precious opportunity!

After the car stopped, Wan Ming dragged a water tank out of the trunk.

Tang Ye leaned over to take a look; inside were actually several lively bighead carp jumping about.

"This biggest one must be twenty jin, right?"

"I went fishing at Pinghu Reservoir yesterday. These are the biggest ones, brought specifically for you to have a taste of something fresh."

"I don't know if the pot at home can fit it!" Tang Ye patted Wan Ming on the shoulder. "You have a heart. Let's go, let's go inside and have some tea."

Wan Ming followed Tang Ye into the house.

Not long after, Du Chengfeng came down from the second-floor study and said to Wan Ming, "Little Wan, you've come!"

Wan Ming restrained his previous relaxation and casualness: "Minister Du, hello, I came to deliver some fish."

Du Chengfeng nodded slightly: "Come to my study to have tea with Little Tang in a moment."

Wan Ming nodded quickly: "Alright!"

Regarding the matter of Cao Yunfan, Du Chengfeng had learned from Tang Ye that it was Wan Ming who handled it.

Du Chengfeng had a good impression of Wan Ming.

Previously, when Liang Pingfan falsely accused him, Wan Ming also made great contributions to clearing his name.

Therefore, Du Chengfeng had been mentally designing a suitable position for Wan Ming.

Du Chengfeng waited in the study for a while.

Tang Ye pushed the door open and entered, with Wan Ming following behind him, a simple and honest smile on his face, completely different from his usual fierce and menacing temperament.

Du Chengfeng took a document out of a drawer and handed it to Wan Ming: "Take a look at this document!"

Wan Ming glanced at the title; it was a notice regarding the Municipal Party School organizing a cadre training class—this was the first batch of cadre training activities since Du Chengfeng became the Municipal Organization Department Minister; in other words, it was also the batch of cadres he valued the most.

"Minister Du, are you asking me to participate in this training class?"

Du Chengfeng smiled: "You are already on the list. The notice will be issued in a while; prepare yourself in advance."

Wan Ming said excitedly: "Thank you, Minister Du."

Du Chengfeng glanced at Tang Ye, then said to Wan Ming: "Tang Ye often mentions you. You are very outstanding and are Director Gu's proud student. You must be mentally prepared; you need to have the boldness and courage to take on more important positions."

Wan Ming appeared carefree, but in reality, he was very delicate inside.

Wan Ming could understand what Du Chengfeng said very thoroughly—Du Chengfeng not only gave him the opportunity for cadre training but also intended to promote him.

Regarding the arrangements for Wan Ming, he was already a Deputy Division Level Official and also served concurrently as a County Party Committee Standing Committee Member, so the next step would most likely be entering the Municipal Public Security Bureau directly to serve in a deputy position, and it would be a Deputy Bureau Chief with real power.

Standing from Tang Ye's perspective, he knew his father-in-law was equipping him with a capable deputy.

Relying on his own unremitting efforts, Wan Ming successfully got himself included in Du Chengfeng's team.

"Little Wan, stay for dinner tonight!"

"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony."

Du Chengfeng smiled faintly; he still had a very good impression of Wan Ming.

Although the outside world evaluated him as someone who didn't follow the rules and liked to charge ahead recklessly, sometimes one really needed such a personality around them, which could often have the effect of a surprise force.

The dishes in the evening were mainly carp, with the fish body braised in soy sauce and the fish head made into soup.

Wan Ming drank quite a bit of alcohol and was already tipsy when he got into the car.

When he returned home, it was already late at night.

Seeing Wan Ming covered in the smell of alcohol, his wife shook her head secretly and stepped forward to help Wan Ming take off his clothes.

Wan Ming suddenly grabbed his wife in a hug.

His wife pushed Wan Ming away with annoyance but couldn't push him off; she put her hands on her hips and scolded: "You've had too much horse urine, acting like a drunkard, right? Do you believe I'll sweep you out the door!"

Wan Ming forced himself to stand up, hugged his wife, kissed her on the face, and laughed simply and honestly twice: "I'm really too happy today. I had a meal with my brother Tang Ye, and our bond has never changed!"

His wife was between laughter and tears: "You talk about Tang Ye all day long; why don't you go live with him!"

Wan Ming waved his finger in front of his wife: "No getting jealous!"

His wife curled her lips: "Who's jealous! Even if I were, I wouldn't be jealous of a man!"

Wan Ming suddenly withdrew his smile and said with a serious expression: "Do you know? Minister Du revealed a piece of news to me today—I have a chance to return to the City Bureau."

His wife's original disgust was swept away, and she asked with surprise: "Really?"

She knew her husband's greatest wish was to return to the city.

Back then, because Wan Ming reported a corruption case, he offended some people and was squeezed out and demoted to the Pinghu Town Police Station.

Now, he finally had the chance to stand tall and return to the city.

Moreover, once in the city, according to his rank, he would be a Deputy Bureau Chief. All those who looked down on him, obstructed him, and ridiculed him before would all have to look up to him!

"The probability is very high!" Wan Ming said softly, "So I am very happy, really very happy. Because I met Tang Ye in Pinghu, I had the chance to turn things around. I didn't rely on pulling strings, but relied on taking it one step at a time, standing tall as I walked up."

His wife held Wan Ming gently in her arms and said tenderly: "Husband, I am truly proud of you!"

After Wan Ming left, Tang Ye and Du Chengfeng chatted in the study for another hour or so.

Du Xi pushed the door open and requested to return to Xiyue Garden, and only then did Tang Ye end the conversation with Du Chengfeng.

"What is there for you to chat about with my dad? You have to return to Dayu County in a few days. Shouldn't you be spending all your time with me?" On the road, Du Xi complained with some gloom.

Tang Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Who gets jealous of their own father! Alright, for the next few days, I will spend all my time accompanying you."

Du Xi revealed a smile, "That's more like it!"

Although both sets of parents had villas, Xiyue Garden was the couple's little nest.

Here, they could wantonly do everything they wanted and loved to do.

Just after entering the house, Du Xi took the initiative to pin Tang Ye against the wall and hugged Tang Ye tightly.

"Can we change into our slippers first..."

"I've already said it, I want to cherish every second that you belong to me. I don't want to waste a single second; from now on, all of your time is mine."

Under the blowing of this gentle breeze, Tang Ye's desire burned fiercely like a raging fire.

Yet, in his heart, Tang Ye felt guilty toward Du Xi.

Although the two were married, they spent more time apart than together, but Tang Ye could be absolutely certain that he loved Du Xi deeply.

If love hadn't been carved into his very marrow, how could he have resisted so many external temptations?
