Yuqi wanted a private-sector lead solution the whole time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just that the stagnant private market made her turn towards a public solution. Especially after the continued stagnation after the new currency rollout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, from Liuqian’s perspective, he and many of the wealthy citizens who had deposited their money in the bank perceived her as a staunch Keynesian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their eyes, putting money in the bank was the safest bet. Even with the low interest rate, it was still better than taking bigger risks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The constant meddling was just making them too scared to invest, let alone create their own business, even if the new currency had a low interest rate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The increasingly nationalized agriculture sector and subsidized construction sector didn’t help either, creating a perception of government against private business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry for misunderstanding you, Deputy Governor.\" Liuqian apologized as the final draft of the plan began to print out from the printer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s fine, Liuqian. Please don’t be afraid to talk to me. I’m more than happy to talk through our differences.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she took the printed paper out of the printer, the small frown that had been on her forehead for the past few days disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can’t always get the most accurate information on what people feel. I’m glad you taught me an important lesson today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s too much, Miss Yuqi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yuqi bowing down in apology, Liuqian quickly rushed over to help her back up before putting the paper on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, looks like all the misunderstandings are taken care of. Let me sign this, and you two can have fewer things to worry about.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun quickly took out a pen, flipping to the last page, and signing his signature at the authorization line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here’s one copy to you, and the other copy for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Governor.\" Liuqian bowed down slightly in gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Liuqian walked out of the room with his final edition of the plan, Yuqi put her copy of the plan back into the cabinet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Congrats, now you have one less problem to worry about,\" Xiaoyun whispered as he moved over to her side of the desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yuqi already going back to work on her computer, Xiaoyun was a little annoyed by her deafening tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem, am I not going to get a reward?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What reward?\" Yuqi asked, her eyes still on the computer as she typed on her keyboard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on. I pretty much solved the unemployment issue. If it weren’t for me, Liuqian would have never shown the plan to you.\" Xiaoyun argued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuqi finally stopped as she turned her chair over to the side. Her eyes looked up to his face as she held up a small grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What reward do you want then?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A kiss on the cheek.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just a kiss on the cheek?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun nodded, reaffirming his decision as he lowered his head and closed his eyes. He waited as her breath got closer and closer to his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Muah! Here, you happy?\" Yuqi asked as a tad bit of red lipstick mark appeared right at the corner of his cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Woohoo! See you later tonight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuqi rolled her eyes as Xiaoyun left the office in pure excitement. Her eyes quickly shifted back to the computer as she let out a small sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"More work for me...\" Yuqi murmured, her mind already thinking back to the amount of work needed to even set up for Liuqian’s plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>----\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun stepped out of the office, his face instantly return back to normal as he stepped out of the office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You might want to wipe that lip mark on your cheek.\" Kate’s voice appeared as he entered the elevator alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why would I do that? I’m not embarrassed by it.\" Xiaoyun answered as he pressed the ground floor button.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kate didn’t say any further as the elevator reached the bottom floor. Stepping out, he was a little surprised to see Renqin standing right by the front door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey Renqin, what brought you here?\" Xiaoyun curiously asked as he walked over to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, I found something very important that I need to tell you. Can we go somewhere private?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them quickly headed towards the bank across the street before entering a private room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you want to talk about? Where’s Yueyue?\" Xiaoyun curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s involved as a suspect in this investigation. I had only finished collecting this information yesterday.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Renqin was about to hand over a small folder from his jacket, he suddenly turned towards the blank wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who’s there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few seconds of nothing happening, Renqin scratched his head in confusion as he handed the document over to Xiaoyun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry about that, boss. I’m just a little paranoid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun opened the folder, the first thing he saw was the word ’Top Secret’ on the cover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second page instantly shocked him a little. It was a picture of Leyan with almost every single personal detail down to the wires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Renqin, who told you to investigate my wife?\" Xiaoyun questioned as he closed the folder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, please. Finish reading this. I promise I did this for a reason.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Renqin stubbornly looking back at him, Xiaoyun opened back up the folder again before resuming where he had left off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Further down the second page was just more basic information, including ones before the outbreak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart instantly skipped a beat. His mind was instantly worried by the possibility that his true relationship to Leyan had been found out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after flipping to the third page, his concern was dismissed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It only went as far as to list her as Songming’s past widow and her missing child named Xiaoyun, nothing about his actual blood relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a coincidence, the same name as me... No wonder she was so willing to adopt me when she first saw me before the outbreak.\" Xiaoyun calmly responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Renqin didn’t comment on anything as Xiaoyun continued reading down the third page of the document.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest of the page was just a list of her connections in Luoping, from friends of Huayi to the grocery store worker she talked to every weekday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The next page is the most important part.\" Renqin finally commented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a steady hand, Xiaoyun flipped to the fourth page. What he saw next shocked him a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was an entire web. A list of code names, all tracing back to Leyan as the mastermind behind several plots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun flipped to the fifth and final three pages, it was a long, detailed plot. An elaborate scheme down to the wires on how to seize control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A coup, to be more exact. A plan to arrest all of his generals. From Zhen Ren, Li Miao, and Han Bang to even Lingang and Yiming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every high-position general had their own reasoning and methods to be arrested with. Ranging from cases of corruption to straight-up kidnapping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only name that was missing from the target was Yezi. And more importantly, he himself wasn’t on the list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I already know about this.\" Xiaoyun calmly responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You do, boss?\" Renqin questioned, his voice sounding a little bit in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, I know of this. Do you really think my wife would hide secrets from me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Renqin looking a little disappointed, Xiaoyun’s face remained calm as he patted him on the back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, Xiaoyun’s spine felt a chill. His mind was still beyond shock at what Leyan had really hidden from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good job on finding it out. Anyway, is your transition with Yueyue completed?\" Xiaoyun calmly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-Yes, boss... Today was actually my last day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh really? Let me give you one last gift before you can retire in peace. Don’t say no to it, you deserve it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun walked out of the room, Renqin followed right behind as they headed towards one of the bank tellers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good evening, Governor. How may I help you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you give me a check? I want to write one for a friend of mine over here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bank teller quickly walked over to the other bank tellers before coming back with an entire stack of checks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here you go, sir.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the check in hand, Xiaoyun grabbed the pen before writing his signature right at the bottom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here you go. Feel free to write any number you want... If you change your mind or have a problem, you have my phone number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Renqin fell into silence as he stared at the check in his hand. His mind suddenly felt regretful as he stared at the blank check with Xiaoyun’s name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at the same time, the image of a woman appeared in his head. A wedding that he had promised to the love of his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone who had waited for him all these times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, boss...\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1527,"2026-06-10T06:59:52.732Z",1,"novelbin.me","4dc50cb8d41799faef91d724647cf11dc90b2f7cb20a86c16c9879207ec118ff","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-581","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-579",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
