Chapter 211: Lifting a stone only to drop it on one's own foot

Hearing Chen Xueru's words, Fan Jinyou felt very displeased, especially displeased.

But he could only force a smile and nod.

Chen Xueru is too domineering!

Moreover, recently Chen Xueru has become increasingly dissatisfied with him, and they are living apart.

Chen Xueru even said that if they hadn't had a son together, she would have divorced him.

So, he certainly didn't dare to openly defy Chen Xueru.

However, he had already decided to find an opportunity to report to the Street Office Director the matter of Lin Shengli secretly buying a house.

After thinking for a moment, he said:

"Um, Xue Ru, I'm going out for a bit."

Chen Xueru nodded and said:

"Don't say I didn't warn you—Lin Shengli is someone we can't afford to provoke, not even the Street Office Director can."

"So, you must not have any ulterior motives."

Fan Jinyou: "Yes, yes, yes, I'll listen to you."

"Then I'll go out first."

After saying that, Fan Jinyou went out.

As he walked, he wondered what to do.

A small tavern.

When Pian'er Ye walked in, everyone greeted him.

"Pian'er Ye, long time no see."

"Hello, Pian'er Ye."

Pian'er Ye nodded and greeted everyone as he approached Niu Ye's table.

Then.

He took out some money from his pocket, slapped it on the table, and said to Niu Ye:

"Niu Ye, Comrade Niu, it turns out you always treat me to drinks."

"After all these years, this is the first time I'm treating."

Niu Ye laughed: "Haha, it's different, it's different."

"When Pian'er Ye left back then, I saw how shabby he was."

"It's the fertile black soil of Northeast that sustains people."

"Well, I, Niu Ye, have never taken advantage of anyone my whole life."

"Today I'm making an exception—two taels."

Pian'er Ye shouted: "Good, bring two taels."

Cai Quanwu was standing at the counter abacus, and he also heard that.

However, he gave no response, continuing to work his abacus.

Pian'er Ye frowned and shouted at him:

"Hey, Wobuer, Wobuer..."

Cai Quanwu raised his head: "Hey, Pian'er Ye."

Pian'er Ye: "Did you see or not see?"

Cai Quanwu laughed: "I saw, Pian'er Ye, Niu Ye, you've come, ah."

Just then, Fan Jinyou walked in.

Niu Ye politely greeted: "Deputy Director Fan has arrived."

Fan Jinyou gave a grin and nodded.

Niu Ye: "It's been a while since you've come, huh?"

Fan Jinyou said with a proud, annoyed expression: "Being a director now, I'm too busy."

"Besides, I heard Pian'er Ye is back, so I said I should come over to check things out—surely it'll be lively."

"I ought to drink a couple cups with Pian'er Ye."

"Wait for me."

Saying that, Fan Jinyou walked to the counter, took out money, handed it to Cai Quanwu, and then said:

"Give me two taels, and also a plate of peanuts."

Cai Quanwu glanced at Fan Jinyou, took the money, and gave him two taels of liquor and a plate of peanuts.

Fan Jinyou took it, walked over to Pian'er Ye's side, and sat down.

After pouring himself a cup of wine, he raised his cup toward Pian'er Ye and said:

"Pian'er Ye, come, let's have a drink together."

Pian'er Ye waved his hand and said:

"Deputy Director Fan, I won't do a shot; I'll drink slowly."

"I'm not like you, with Xue Ru as a big backer behind you."

"I'm the kind who might not know where the next meal is coming from."

Fan Jinyou frowned, looking displeased, and said:

"No, Pian'er Ye, you're still in such a sorry state."

"Didn't you go to the Northeast to make a fortune?"

Pian'er Ye: "Fart, I was just fleeing there."

Fan Jinyou was unwilling: "But you just had Old Master Niu a drink."

Pian'er ye: "That was me repaying a kindness."

"Old Master Niu has often bought me drinks before."

"This time, even if I have no money, I will treat Old Master Niu once."

Fan Jinyou had no other idea; he originally still wanted to drink with Pian'er ye, get him drunk, because he knew Pian'er ye couldn't hold two taels of oil.

As long as Pian'er ye drinks too much, he will surely be able to pump Pian'er ye for information.

With so many people around, as long as Pian'er ye says that Lin Shengli originally bought his courtyard.

Then both he and Lin Shengli would be guilty.

That way, he could deal with Lin Shengli.

He still treated Chen Xueru's words as wind in the ear.

Dealing with Lin Shengli, overthrowing Lin Shengli—that was what he considered the most important task.

Who would have known that Lin Shengli had earlier specially warned Old Pian, also telling him absolutely not to drink too much, especially in front of Fan Jinyou.

Lin Shengli also told him the stakes.

So, no matter how Fan Jinyou urged a drink, Old Pian remained relatively calm, just taking a small sip.

Moreover, no matter how Fan Jinyou tried to pump him for information, Old Pian simply would not fall for his scheme.

In the end, he too had no idea.

On impulse, he ran to the Street Office to report to the Street Office Director that Lin Shengli had bought a siheyuan.

The Street Office Director frowned and asked, "Fan Jinyou, where's the evidence?"

Fan Jinyou stared blankly: "I, I don't have any evidence right now."

"But I know Lin Shengli bought Pian'er ye's siheyuan."

"It's absolutely true, Director."

The Street Office Director slapped the table with a "pa" sound and shouted:

"Fan Jinyou, you are also a cadre."

"Don't you know that everything requires evidence?"

"Moreover, Lin Gong works with tech talent, which is supposed to be protected by the state."

"How dare you slander him—what are your intentions?"

Upon hearing this, Fan Jinyou couldn't help but shudder all over in fright.

"I, I, I really do know."

"Lin Shengli really bought a house."

The Street Office Director said: "Fan Jinyou, you are really reckless; I see you won't cry until you see the coffin—you dare to report and slander even Lin Gong."

Having said that, he shouted toward the doorway:

"Come here!"

Soon two people ran in.

The Street Office Director pointed at Fan Jinyou and said:

"Take him away, lock him up, let him reflect properly."

"Also, immediately notify the Residents' Committee—he has been dismissed from his post."

Upon hearing this, Fan Jinyou's legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

His intestines now regretted green.

He regretted not listening to Chen Xueru's words.

He merely made a report, yet the Street Office Director dismissed him and also had him locked up.

Seeing the two people who had run in, one grabbed his right arm, and he hurriedly begged for mercy:

"Director, director, hear me out—what I said is all true."

"Give me time, and I will surely find you evidence."

The Street Office Director's brows furrowed even tighter.

This Fan Jinyou really is hard-headed, stupid, so stupid.

He impatiently waved his hand and said:

"Slandering those who work with tech talent, a state key protection target—quickly take him away, lock him up."

Fan Jinyou was about to cry: "Director, director, hear me out, hear me out."

The Street Office Director said: "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and take him away."

Fan Jinyou was also lifting a rock only to drop it on his own foot.

Not only was he dismissed and detained over this matter, but it wasn't over—after learning of this, Chen Xueru immediately chose to divorce him.
