Chapter Fifty-Seven Buying A Car

  The next day, Ye Pingyu received a call from Xiao Jianzhong, asking him to help alleviate Chang Fang's emotions. He had finally broken up with Chang Fang completely, which made her very emotional and she ran to the county committee office to make a scene. Now he has been criticized by his leaders, if anything else happens, he will be finished!

  Ye Pingyu thought to himself, "Isn't he already unable to be a human being? Don't blame Chang Fang for being emotionally agitated, who handles things like this?" After thinking for a moment, he said: "You little brat now knows the severity of the situation. Yesterday evening, Chang Fang cried loudly, and I had to persuade her repeatedly before she calmed down. In front of her, I scolded you severely, only then did she stop crying and stabilize."

  As soon as Chang Fang let Ye Pingyu persuade him, Xiao Jianzhong also didn't mind Ye Pingyu's intentional scolding. He said repeatedly: "Pingyu, this matter really troubled you, I know it was my fault, but I was also helpless. You know that we are people who walk on the path of being an official, who doesn't want to have a good backer? In my position, I estimate you would do the same!"

  Ye Pingyu immediately retorted: "I wouldn't do such a thing! I couldn't possibly have one foot on each of two boats!"

  Xiao Jianzhong smiled awkwardly and said, "Alright Ping Yu, you're a good person, I can't compare to you. Help me resolve this matter again, I didn't expect her temper to be so big, it's even caused a scene in my office. Ah, I don't know what Zhao Bingxue will think when she finds out!"

  When Ye Pingyu heard Xiao Jianzhong sigh, he somewhat understood him. Like himself, he didn't have a good family background. Now that he could talk about romance with the director's daughter, it was as if his ancestors were burning incense in gratitude. In his heart, he wasn't very confident and thought of having a foot in two boats, fearing that the director's daughter would ultimately disagree. Now it seemed she had agreed, but Chang Fang didn't want to.

  Ye Pingyu promised to persuade Chang Fang again, trying to let them resolve the matter peacefully, and also wished him a happy marriage with Director Xiao's daughter. Xiao Jianzhong thanked him repeatedly, considering Ye Pingyu his benefactor.

  After hanging up the phone with Xiao Jianzhong, Ye Pingyu shook his head and thought for a moment. Although Chang Fang seemed to have come around last night, he had no idea what she would do next. He hoped to help Xiao Jianzhong out as much as possible and let them part on good terms!

  Work has been busy, Ye Pingyu didn't have time to go home and talk to his grandfather about going to Beijing. Cao Dafu asked him and Liang Jun to go to the county finance bureau to get money. Zhang Mingshun officially took office as county magistrate and allocated a sum of money for Caolingzi Township to buy a car. Other townships had successively purchased Santana cars, but only Caolingzi Township hadn't bought one yet. Cao Dafu found Zhang Mingshun and finally agreed to allocate funds for the township to buy a car, and that Jeep would be given to Zhao Yuangong for use.

  Liang Jun is now the head of the finance department, so matters involving money should be handled by him. Ye Pingyu is the director of the party and government office, and purchasing a car requires his handling, so they let the two of them go to the county town together, even taking the small Jeep from their hometown.

  Although the two are not very harmonious, they must now listen to Cao Dafu's words and get this thing done together. So the two came to the county town together, first found a small restaurant to eat something, and then came to the county finance bureau to find specific personnel to ask for money.

  Liang Jun had just become the head of the finance office and was not familiar with the county finance bureau. Although it was official business, things were not easy to handle when the relationship was not familiar. However, Ye Pingyu had a classmate named Wen Kaibo who worked at the county finance bureau. Although there was some small estrangement between them, they were after all classmates. Moreover, Wen Kaibo's attitude towards him changed that day when he saw that he knew Zhang Mingxun.

  Two people came to the finance bureau building, Liang Jun didn't discuss with Ye Pingyu, and went directly to find the person in charge of this matter. However, after seeing that person, he was indifferent, as if he had not been treated to a meal beforehand, exchanged emotions, why would he be willing to help him?

  Although Liang Jun is a master of communication, the more he tries to wheedle and cajole, the deeper others' resentment will grow. No matter how many nice things he says, it's all useless. That person just tells him that they haven't seen the money, and asks them to go find the director instead.

  This is intentional, Zhang Ming Shun has clearly signed and agreed to the matter, but said he hasn't seen it. Liang Jun accompanied by a smiling face was also useless, Ye Ping Yu saw it and hurriedly went to find Wen Kai Bo.

  Wen Kai Bo works in the county finance bureau office and is a close associate of the bureau leader. Ye Ping Yu found him, and Wen Kai Bo greeted him with a smile when he came to do business. However, after learning about Ye Ping Yu's relationship with Zhang Ming Shun, his attitude changed significantly.

  With Ye Pingyu, he came to find that specific person in charge of the matter. Liang Jun was worried about what to do with this matter. After Wen Kaibo walked over, he explained to that specific person in charge of the matter that the money was personally signed and agreed upon by County Chief Zhang, and asked him to expedite the payment for Caolingzi Township.

  That man, after hearing Wen Kai Bo's words, was somewhat unwilling, but Wen Kai Bo was a person close to the bureau leader and this money had been approved by Zhang Ming Shun. Considering these two factors, he didn't dare to make a big deal out of it, so he said he would look for the account book and check if there was such a sum of money.

  After searching for half a day, he finally found it. The man pretended to have just discovered it and looked at the signed payment slip before saying: "County Head Zhang has signed it, but Director Zhao hasn't signed yet, so the money still can't be paid!"

  "After hearing this, Wen Kai Bo said: 'Then I'll take them to find Director Zhao to sign, and you can handle it later.'"

  That man had no choice but to agree, and Ye Pingyu followed Wen Kai's back to find Director Zhao Jianye. Liang Jun became a spectator for the time being, waiting anxiously on the side, and didn't follow them to find Zhao Jianye either.

  As soon as they entered Zhao Jianye's office, Wen Kai introduced Ye Pingyu as the director of the Party and Government Office of Cao Lingzi Township. Zhao Jianye sat steadily in his seat, sizing up Ye Pingyu with a practiced gaze. He had heard of Ye Pingyu before, and since Ye was young to be promoted to director of the Party and Government Office, this would inevitably attract attention from others.

  Now seeing Ye Pingyu standing there steadily, Zhao Jianye felt that he was indeed a talented person, much better than his own future son-in-law. That future son-in-law had now gone out and talked about another object, causing trouble in the county committee office. His dear daughter knew about it and was furious, the originally planned marriage now seemed to be doomed, lest his daughter suffer after marriage.

  After sizing up Ye Pingyu for a moment, Zhao Jianye asked what was going on. Ye Pingyu explained the purpose of his visit, and Zhao Jianye smiled and said: "County Magistrate Zhang really takes care of your village, other villages have never taken money from the county's finances to buy cars, you are an exception!"

  Ye Pingyu smiled and said: "Our village is poor, it can't compare with other villages. All of this was fought for by Secretary Cao in front of County Head Zhang."

  Zhao Jianye smiled and said: "Still Cao Buzi is formidable, you go back and tell him, if there's a chance to come to the city, I'll invite him to dinner!"

  Ye Pingyu smiled and said: "I will definitely pass this on, thank you for Director Zhao's kind intentions!"

  Seeing Ye Pingyu speaking fluently and confidently, Zhao Jianye, an old hand in the business, was very pleased with his sharp eyes. With a flourish of his pen, he signed the application form and said: "I have a relative who runs a car dealership in the county town, you can go take a look, I'll get him to give you a discounted price!"

  Ye Pingyu hastily said: "That's a good thing, if it's like this then it will save us some trouble."

  Zhao Jianye smiled and didn't say anything else. Ye Pingyu bid him farewell, then went to find the person from earlier to get the money. Seeing that they had obtained the director's signature so quickly, the man was extremely surprised, but he had no choice and could only agree to give them cash, which he handed over to Liang Jun.

  Xiang Wen Kai Bo expressed a word of gratitude, Ye Ping Yu and Liang Jun left the Finance Bureau together. After leaving the Finance Bureau, Ye Ping Yu called Cao Da Fu to tell him what Zhao Jian Ye said. Originally, they were thinking of going to the region to buy a car, but now that Zhao Jian Ye has spoken, if they don't go to his relatives' place to buy it, he will definitely be unhappy when he finds out. Once someone opens their mouth, they won't just open it for nothing. The county Finance Bureau is different from other bureaus, dealing with towns and villages every day, and it's all about money matters. No one wants to offend the god of wealth.

  Cao Dafu understood what to do as soon as Ye Pingyu finished speaking, and instructed Ye Pingyu to follow Zhao Jianye's requirements. Then he would invite him to dinner in the county town another day to thank him.

  Having received Zhao Jianye's instructions, Ye Pingyu had Liang Jun take the money to buy a car at Zhao Jianye's relative's place. Liang Jun now felt that he must listen to him, otherwise this matter would definitely not be done well. Buying a car was no small matter, it was what Cao Dafu cared about most, if they didn't do it well, they would definitely be criticized when they returned.

  Come directly with cash to the car dealership and tell the boss, the boss smiles all over his face, saying that he will definitely give them a discount, letting them choose carefully.

  After selecting, a black Santana car was chosen according to Cao Dafu's requirements, and the money was paid. Although it was said that there was a discount, it was not clear where the discount was. Whether or not there was a discount, it had to be bought here. After buying, the new car was driven by Liang Jun, because he had a driver's license, while Ye Pingyu returned in a Jeep.

  Liang Jun drove back to his hometown first, and Ye Pingyu wanted to see his sister Ye Jing again, so he asked Old Zhu to drive him to the county hospital. After arriving at the county hospital, he hastily came to his sister's office to take a look at her current situation.

  As soon as she entered her sister's office, Ye Jing saw that he had come to find herself again, so she walked over and chatted with him for a while, asking if anything was wrong. Ye Pingyu asked her if that person had bothered her again.

  Ye Jing thought for a moment and said, the head of the department is now putting pressure on her. That person didn't come to harass her again, but the pressure from the head of the department was even more unbearable than harassment. If she still doesn't agree to this matter, her days in the hospital will be difficult.

  Ye Pingyu was furious when he heard that there was such a thing, and thought of going to find the director of the department. Ye Jing hurriedly pulled her back, saying that she would handle it well and not let him act rashly.

  Seeing her sister's confident appearance, Ye Pingyu calmed down and asked again if Ye Ming had come to find her. Ye Jing said that Ye Ming had just come to find her once, asking her some questions, and then left.
