Just as Tian Liang and Liu Qing were getting intimate, Liu Qingyang unexpectedly arrived.

  Tian's face turned bright red, and he hastily let go of Liu Qingqing.

  Liu Qingqing was okay, her own dad saw it and just saw it, with both hands hanging on the neck of Xiang Tianliang and refusing to let go.

  Pushing open the door, Liu Qingyang slipped in with a scowl on his face and his hands behind his back.

  "Teacher Liu..." shouted towards Tian Liang.

  "Hmm." The old man stared at Xiang Tian for a good while.

  Liu Qingqing stood up and stomped her foot in complaint: "Dad, why did you come?"

  "Why can't I come? This is my home, my daughter's home. If I want to come, I'll come. Can you catch me if I don't?"

  Liu Qingyang didn't even lift his head, muttering to himself as he plopped down onto the sofa.

  Tian Liang looked embarrassed and didn't dare speak. Liu Qingqing sat down beside Liu Qingyang and asked in a low voice, "Dad, is something wrong?"

  "Hmm." Liu Qingyang nodded and asked in return, "Is your matter resolved?"

  Liu Qingqing replied: "All have been arranged."

  Liu Qingyang hummed in agreement, "Since it's settled, then let's just forget about it."

  "Dad, is there something wrong?"

  Liu Qingyang nodded and said, "I just spoke with Xu Hengtai on the phone. He thinks that the current situation in the Construction Bureau is not very clear-cut. If you and Yu Feilong get a divorce at this time, Yu Feilong will be even more furious, and Tian Liang's pressure will be even greater."

  "But Tian Liang has evidence in his hands, does he dare to bully him?"

  Liu Qingyang said, "Yu Feilong may not dare to do anything now, but if he becomes the director, it's hard to say. He won't openly bully you, but behind your back, he'll make things difficult for you. Who can you reason with when that happens?"

  Xiang Tianliang was shocked by what he heard, "Teacher Liu, are you saying that Old Yu might become the director?"

  "Yes, times have changed, previously he was the one with the least hope, now his hopes are the greatest." Liu Qingyang sighed.

  Liu Qingqing asked: "So, has there been a change in the city's leadership team?"

  Liu Qingyang nodded again, "In the past when we were in Bin Hai County, Xie Zixiang and Yu Feilong and others rose up very quickly, it was all because of the strong support of Zhang Haifeng, the county party secretary at that time. Later, after Zhang Haifeng was transferred to work in another province as an exchange cadre, although Xie Zixiang and Yu Feilong were transferred to work in the city, they were not satisfied. Xie Zixiang has never entered the municipal standing committee, and Yu Feilong is still a deputy department level after three years. Isn't the reason for this that they no longer have Zhang Haifeng as their backer?"

  "Oh...... You mean Zhang Haifeng has been transferred back to our Qinghe City now?" asked Liu Qingqing.

  "Yes, I have a student who is currently working at the provincial party committee compound. His position isn't very high, but he has a lot of information. According to him, Zhang Haifeng has been working in a western province for over five years now. Following regulations, after New Year's and before Spring Festival, he will be officially transferred back to our province. During his time in the west, he went from being a deputy mayor to a standing deputy mayor, and was already a vice mayor a year ago. This time when he comes back, according to arrangements made by the provincial party committee organization department and his own requests, he will return to work in Qinghe City, and it's very likely that he will take on the role of municipal party committee deputy secretary in charge of party masses and organizational work."

  So that's how it is.

  Xiang Tianliang may not know Zhang Haifeng, but Liu Qingqing does. For Xie Zixu and Yu Feilong, Zhang Haifeng is a beacon in life's journey. Now that Zhang Haifeng is coming back, Xie Zixu and Yu Feilong are probably going to be in luck.

  "Dad, you're right. Once Zhang Haifeng comes back, the situation in the city will change."

  Liu Qingyang said to Xiang Tianliang, "The municipal party committee originally had two major factions. The first and second in command have always been at odds with each other. The personnel adjustments in the Construction Bureau have not been completed for a long time because of the stalemate between the two sides, neither can overpower the other. The first in command insists that Chen Wenyun should be the director, while the second in command strongly advocates for Gao Xing to take over. In this situation, as soon as Zhang Haifeng returns, several original marginalized members of the municipal party committee will join forces with him, and the city will soon become a three-legged stand. At that time, it will be even more unclear who can be the director of the Construction Bureau."

  "However, why did you just say that Yu Feilong actually hopes for the most?" Tian Liang asked.

  "The problem is that Zhang Haifeng didn't come back, and the two sides were at a stalemate, so Yu Feilong wouldn't have had a chance to rise to power. But as soon as Zhang Haifeng returned, there was a new force in the Standing Committee, and the number one and number two leaders would definitely try to win him over. What would they use to win him over? It would be an exchange of interests, and in some personnel arrangements, it's possible that they would make concessions to Zhang Haifeng. In this case, wouldn't Yu Feilong, as Zhang Haifeng's trusted subordinate, have the best chance of rising to power?"

  Xiang Tianliang's heart was silent, the old man was right, if Yu Feilong really became the director, he would probably be the first to be dealt with, it wouldn't be done openly, but some small actions could be taken, giving him a pair of small shoes to wear, and then the director would deal with the section chief, and there would be no room for negotiation.

  Liu Qingqing said: "Dad, Tian Liang is now just an ordinary clerk. If he can't stay on, at worst he'll change units."

  "It's easy to talk, but can you really avoid it?" Liu Qingyang glanced at Xiang Tianliang and continued, "Tianliang, Master Xu is right. You have a trick up your sleeve now, so you can't stay out of this. You need to think of a way to get out of this situation first."

  "Teacher Liu, can you think of a way for me?" Xiang Tianliang smiled and said.

  Liu Qingyang slanted her eyes and didn't speak.

  Liu Qingqing pushed Liu Qingyang slightly, "Dad, say something."

  Liu Qingyang hummed and stood up, walking away with his hands behind his back. He took two steps before stopping and turning around to say: "What's going on? When you guys acknowledged your sister and brother, why didn't you discuss it with me?"

  This remark made both Xiang Tianliang and Liu Qingqing blush.

  Staring at the bright sky, Liu Qingyang asked, "You little stinker, do you know what a 'dry sister' is?"

  "Heh heh, I know and yet I don't know." Xiang Tianliang suddenly burst out laughing.

  "That's it, what is a dry sister who knows everything, can't think of a way?"

  Liu Qingyang waved his hand, turned around, and walked away slowly with a swaying motion.

  Xiang Tianliang and Liu Qingqing stared at each other in dismay.

  Suddenly, he burst out laughing towards the sky.

  "What are you laughing at?"

  "I'm laughing at what your dad said."

  "What sentence?"

  "Hey, hey, do you know what a 'dry sister' is?"

  Liu Qingqing's face turned slightly red, and her pretty face became even more radiant.

  "He's so bad..." Qingqing leaned into Tianliang's body.

  "Where did I go wrong?" Tian Liang smiled and his hands were already "bad".

  "So tell me, what's a 'dry sister'?"

  "Ha ha, Sister Gan, it's always Sister Gan. When you see your sister, you have to work hard, not just work hard, but also strive to do a good job..."

  "Bad egg, really bad egg..." Liu Qingqing scolded in a soft voice, but her body had already been "delivered" into the bad egg's arms.

  Two bodies tightly entwined, four scorching red lips pressed together...

  At this critical moment, the pager rang again.
