Chapter Thirty-Three: The Young Man and Woman

  Entering the courtyard of the district office, Ye Pingyu looked around and followed the instructions of the old man in the delivery room to walk towards a three-story small building.

  There were several brand-new cars parked under the small building. As Ye Pingyu walked up, he took a glance and swept his eyes over them, feeling envious for a moment before turning around and heading into the building.

  "Show me your ID!" Just as he entered the building, someone else stopped him and asked for his identification.

  Ye Pingyu told him that it was Zhuo Zishen who had found him, so the security guard gave Zhuo Zishen a call before letting him in. He then went up the stairs and came to a room on the second floor.

  He lightly knocked on the door, and when it was opened, he saw that it was Zhu Zi Chuan who had opened it. Ye Ping Yu immediately shouted: "Director Zhu, I'm here."

  As soon as he arrived, Zhu Zi Chuan immediately let him in. As Ye Pingyu walked in, he saw two other people inside, a man and a woman. The man was in his twenties, the woman slightly younger. Both were dressed fashionably, clearly not from rural areas, and even better dressed than the city people he usually saw.

  The couple on the boat were just wearing ordinary cotton shirts, but these two, Ye Pingyu couldn't quite put his finger on their names, but he knew that the fabric of their clothes was definitely not in the same league as what they were wearing, and it was clearly different from the others.

  As he walked in, the young man looked at him with a smile, while the beautiful young woman stared at him with her big, lovely eyes, making his face feel hot. He had never seen such a beautiful woman before, nor had he ever been gazed at by one like this. He didn't know why these two were staying in Zhūzi's room; since there was a guest in his office, they should have waited outside for a while instead.

  I don't know how to explain the situation to Zhu Zi Chuan, Ye Ping Yu went in and didn't know what to say or do, just as he was getting anxious, Zhu Zi Chuan smiled and said to him: "Little Ye, these two are friends of your grandfather's, they'll go to your grandfather's place tomorrow to pay their respects, is that okay?"

  As soon as he heard that they were looking for his grandfather, Ye Pingyu immediately realized that the man should be the stranger who spoke on the phone, but he had never seen them before. Why did they want to see his own grandfather?

  "Director Wang, my grandfather... why do you want to take care of my grandfather?" Ye Pingyu asked cautiously, trying to figure it out.

  When he said that, the young man walked over with a smile and said: "It's like this, Comrade Xiao Ye. My father used to be an inserted team member in your village and had met your grandfather. This time, I was entrusted to come and visit your grandfather, bring some gifts to your grandfather, and it just so happened that we met first, which saved us a lot of trouble!"

  Looking at the young man's smiling face, Ye Pingyu couldn't help but think that it wouldn't be like this, but he was still young at that time and didn't know about such things. His grandfather had never told him either. But since his father was sent to the countryside for reeducation, why did he have to take care of his grandfather alone? Did his grandfather have a close relationship with his father?

  "Where... are you all from?" Ye Pingyu asked boldly, wanting to understand their identities.

  As soon as he finished speaking, the young woman next to the young man smiled and said: "We came from Beijing specially. How is your grandfather's body now? Is there anything we can do for you? Your grandfather helped my father a lot in the past, and my father is very grateful to him!"

  It turned out to be this way, Ye Pingyu was shocked in his heart, they were originally from the capital! No wonder they were dressed so brightly, the temperament that came out of their body was different from others.

  Ye Pingyu's heart moved, he didn't expect that his grandfather had helped their father back then, it turned out they had this kind of relationship, now it was their turn to send their children to take care of his grandfather, if his grandfather knew about this, he would definitely be very happy.

  Thinking of this, Ye Pingyu smiled and said: "My grandfather is in good health now. He likes to help people in the village most of the time. If he knew you came to visit him, he would be very happy!"

  The young woman smiled and said to the young man: "Second brother, it seems that Dad has brought us here for a reason. We can finally fulfill one of Dad's wishes!"

  The young man smiled and said, "Not bad, Dad has been talking about this for years, but he hasn't come back to visit yet. It's a bit embarrassing, but now that I'm here, it's not too late. The old man is still alive!"

  Seeing the two of them chatting and laughing, Zhuozi Chuan accompanied with a smile, Ye Pingyu's mood was also very happy. Grandpa had friends from Beijing who came to visit him, as his grandson, he felt proud on his face.

  Zhu Zi Chuan laughed and said, "Now that's good, you've found the old man's grandson, which means you've found the old man you're looking for. You can rest for a night first, and tomorrow I'll accompany you there!"

  Young man said: "Director Zhu, thank you for this matter. You are busy with your work, I think it's okay to let Comrade Xiao Ye accompany us, originally worried about not being able to find the way, now with him as a guide, there's nothing to fear!"

  Zu Zi Chuan burst out laughing and said, "Things are indeed coincidental. Since you've come, I must accompany you, or Director Ping will criticize me. Don't be polite!"

  "Haha! Then I'll trouble you, Director Zhu. It's settled for now. I and Xi Yao will go take a look at Ping Shu's place again. Thanks!" The young man smiled and went to shake hands with Zhu Zi Chuan.

  Zhūzi chuán tightly grasped his hand and saw him out the door. After shaking hands with Zhūzi chuán, the young man smiled at Yè Píngyǔ and said: "Little Ye, tomorrow we'll go find your grandfather together. Tonight, come have dinner with us!"

  As soon as he heard this, Ye Pingyu immediately thought of Cao Dafu still being outside and said: "I have other things to do tonight..."

  Upon hearing his response, Zhu Zi Chuan immediately said: "Xiao Ye, Mr. You is inviting you to have dinner together, this is a rare opportunity, how can you not go?"

  The young man smiled and said: "If Xiaoye has something on, we can eat together tomorrow!"

  When Ye Pingyu heard their response, his face felt a bit awkward. The other party was friends from the capital city, but he had considered Cao Dafu's matter and hadn't agreed to meet them immediately. Wasn't this being too impolite? But if he agreed to have dinner with them, what about Cao Dafu's side?

  A young woman standing beside him smiled and asked: "Ye... Comrade Ye, what are you doing tonight?"

  Looking at the young woman's elegant and gentle appearance, Ye Pingyu stuttered: "I, I, I still have someone waiting for me outside!"

  "Who is waiting for you?" asked Zhu Zi Chuan.

  Ye Pingyu said: "It's our township secretary and our village branch secretary who came over to thank Manager Han, and also to congratulate Director Zhu!"

  As soon as he heard that it was this matter, Zhu Zi Chuan laughed and said: "It turns out that it's them, this is easy to handle. I also agree with you, wait a moment and I'll arrange a hotel for you, go there and wait, and then I'll help you contact Han Yuanqing. When the time comes, you come over and have dinner with Mr. You together, get familiar with each other, it's convenient for you to visit your grandfather tomorrow. Is that okay?"

  Ye Pingyu thought for a moment and said: "But Director Zhu, we came to invite you and Manager Han, how can we let you arrange the hotel?"

  Zhu Zi's boat couldn't help but chuckle, but then he immediately put on a serious face and pretended to be angry, saying: "Xiao Ye, why are you so stubborn? Everything will go according to my plan. What's the point of inviting guests? Your family isn't wealthy, it would be better to use this money to do something practical for the ordinary people!"

  As soon as Zhu Zishen said that, Ye Pingyu didn't say anything else. Originally, he wasn't thinking of doing it this way either, suddenly spending so much money, all on food and drink. If they were used to help ordinary people do practical things, how many good deeds could be done?

  After Zhu Zi Chuan made such an arrangement, things were settled. The young man and the young woman walked out of the room, and then Zhu Zi Chuan said to him: "Xiao Ye, you and your village secretary go to the hotel first. The hotel is nearby, called Tao Ran Hotel. I'll call them in a while, and after you arrive, just say it's an arrangement by the county government. You can enter and wait for me, and I'll be there soon!"

  Zhu Zi Chuan made such an arrangement for him, and after listening to his words, Ye Ping Yu nodded repeatedly, and then Zhu Zi Chuan let him go down.

  As he walked down the stairs, Ye Pingyu thought about this matter. Before long, he walked out of the courtyard and got into a Jeep. Cao Dafu hastily asked, "Xiao Ye, what did Director Zhu say?"

  Ye Pingyu said: "Director Zhu asked us to go to the nearby Tao Ran Hotel first, Secretary Cao, do you know where it is?"

  "Taoran Hotel?" Cao Dafu was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly remembered that he had once followed the county party committee leaders to the region and had been to this hotel before. The standard of this hotel is very high, and the interior decoration is extremely luxurious, it should be one of the best hotels in Qingyun City. How much would it cost to go in and have a meal?

  "Xiao Ye, did Director Zhu ask us to go there for dinner? How much money do you have on you?" Cao Da Fu asked hastily after thinking for a moment.

  Ye Pingyu hastily said: "I only brought 5,000 yuan, I spent 2,000 just now, and there are still 3,000 left. However, from what Director Zhu just said, it seems that we're not the ones hosting, but rather he's going to arrange something!"

  "We're treating, how can we let Director Zhu arrange it? Old Yang, how much money do you have on you?" Cao Dafu asked, ignoring Ye Pingyu and turning to ask Yang Leyi.

  Yang Leyi immediately said: "I only have a little over 100 yuan on me, I didn't bring much money!"

  Following the village leader out, Yang Leyi didn't like to carry too much money on him. Otherwise, when it came time to settle the bill, the village leader might ask him to pay, and the village didn't have any money, he didn't want to foot the bill.

  Cao Dafu immediately searched his body and managed to find a few hundred yuan, but he felt that this was still not enough. Driver Old Zhu also had no money on him, which made Cao anxious. What should he do now?
