Chapter 77: Bao Ge Lie Finds A Target

  Listening to Ye Pingyu's reasonable words, Xiao Jianzhong sat there in silence. Before, he didn't think Ye Pingyu was much better than him, but now it seems that Ye Pingyu is indeed more capable and has been promoted before him, making everything he says seem inferior to Ye Pingyu's!

  "Let it go if it's gone, don't take it to heart. With your current abilities and status, are you worried that you won't be able to find a wife?" Ye Pingyu comforted him again.

  Xiao Jianzhong looked up at him and thought for a moment before saying: "Ping Yu, what is Chang Fang's attitude now? I really miss her right now!"

  As soon as he said that, Ye Pingyu immediately said: "You won't think of rekindling your romance with Chang Fang again, will you? You've already hurt her heart thoroughly, and now you're still thinking about her?"

  Xiao Jianzhong's face turned red, he came to find Ye Pingyu with this idea, wanting Ye Pingyu to help him out, but seeing Ye Pingyu's attitude, he didn't dare say anything else, and could only say: "I didn't mean it that way, I just feel a bit sorry for her, of course, and also hate her. If she hadn't gone to the county committee office to make trouble, Zhao Bingxue and I would have gotten married long ago!"

  Ye Pingyu looked at him and sighed, saying: "Jianzhong, it's not that I'm criticizing you, we're old classmates. If I say more, you might not be happy. This matter shouldn't have been handled this way by you. Now it's all fallen through, what were you trying to achieve? Don't even think about Fang Chang anymore, and as for Zhao Bingxue, it seems like there's no way to salvage that either. Let's start over from scratch. What's the hurry in finding a partner? A man should prioritize his career. You're on such a good platform at the county committee office, but you don't work hard to achieve anything. Instead, you want to climb high branches. Even if you do climb up, if your work isn't done well, can you still get promoted? I suggest you proactively request to be sent down to the countryside to do some real work. Who knows, maybe you'll even make a name for yourself!"

  Ye Pingyu's words were a bit harsh and impolite, if it was in the past, Xiao Jianzhong would definitely be unhappy, and might even quarrel with Ye Pingyu. But now that he has created this situation himself, what Ye Pingyu said is indeed the truth, and even if he is unhappy, he can't directly show it.

  "Ping Yu, I know this now, thank you, I'll go back first!" Xiao Jianzhong stood up and was about to leave after Ye Pingyu finished speaking. He felt that Xiao Jianzhong wasn't very happy, but Ye Pingyu didn't care, if he wanted to leave then so be it. This matter was indeed caused by him himself, and what he said was also for his own good.

  Xiao Jianzhong walked out, and when he reached the stairs, he happened to run into Bao Gelei. Bao Gelei called out to him, but Xiao Jianzhong only responded with a brief acknowledgement before continuing on his way without stopping.

  Watching him leave, Bao Gelei came to Ye Pingyu's room and asked after seeing Ye Pingyu: "Pingyu, did Xiao Jianzhong come looking for you?"

  Ye Pingyu said: "Just came over and chatted with me for a while, just walked away, did you run into him?"

  Bao Ge Lie said: "Just ran into him and greeted him, but he just ignored me. Has this kid become too proud after climbing up the social ladder?"

  Ye Pingyu said: "This is not it, he's just in a bad mood. That Zhao Bingxue has broken up with him now, and he didn't get the high branch!"

  "Didn't work out?" Bao Gelei looked very surprised. Two days ago, he had called Xiao Jianzhong to ask when he was getting married, and Xiao Jianzhong had said it would be soon, without any intention of breaking up. Now, suddenly saying they were broken up left him astonished.

  Ye Pingyu told him the situation, and Bao Gelie also sighed. Among these classmates, except for Ye Pingyu, the most outstanding one was Xiao Jianzhong, a cadre from the county committee office, with a very promising future ahead of him. If he could climb to the position of bureau chief, his future would be even brighter. But now, he had fallen off the high branch at a critical moment.

  "Jianzhong this kid is sometimes not reliable, if he climbs up the high branch and becomes the director's son-in-law, maybe in the future he won't care about us anymore. Now let him clear his head a bit, I think it's also good, what do you say Pingyu?" Ba Gelei thought for a moment before saying.

  Bao Ge Lie's words still made sense, and Ye Ping Yu nodded repeatedly. He looked at him and suddenly asked: "Old Bao, have you found a partner now?"

  Bao Ge Lie's face suddenly turned red and he said, "No way, my unit is not good, it's hard to find a partner, who would have thought that Xiao Jianzhong in the county committee office became a hot commodity as soon as he started working, if he wasn't so restless, finding someone like Zhao Bingxue wouldn't be a problem at all!"

  Ye Pingyu smiled and said: "Your unit is not bad either. If it were a county-level unit, wouldn't I have to fight for it?"

  Bao Gelei laughed and said: "We are just different units in the county, can't be compared with your township. Besides, you're already a deputy department-level cadre, directly managed by the county party committee's organization department. How can I compare to you? What's it like now, is there a group of beautiful girls following behind you?"

  Ye Pingyu smiled and said, "Old Bao, look at you exaggerating. We're working in the countryside, it's already good if we can find someone. Unlike you in the county town, you can pick and choose. Xiao Jianzhong can even have two boats under his feet, no comparison!"

  Bao Ge Lie listened to Ye Ping Yu's words, but sighed and said: "What's the point of being picky? It's good if someone takes a liking to me. By the way, are there any pretty girls in your village who can be introduced to me?"

  Unexpectedly, Bao Ge Lie actually had the idea of a countryside girl, Ye Ping Yu glanced at him and said: "The girls in our village, can you look up to them?"

  "What's there to be picky about? As long as it exists, introducing a suitable one is fine!"

  Ye Pingyu thought for a moment, and the figures of Chang Fang and Zhao Yanan emerged in his mind. In the countryside, only these two looked relatively pleasing to the eye. However, Chang Fang had previously talked to Xiao Jianzhong, while Zhao Yanan might not necessarily look up to Bao Gelei. Moreover, Ye Pingyu himself didn't have a partner yet, so should he keep her as a backup?

  Although he has gone to Beijing to see Ping Ruxue, his mind is broadened, but that's not reliable at all, and he still needs to find a partner in the lower position!

  Yue Pingyu thought for a moment and said: "Lao Bao, I'll go back and check it out for you. If there's someone suitable, I'll introduce them to you!"

  Bao Ge Lie said happily: "Ping Yu, thank you for this matter, let's go eat, if we don't go to the cafeteria there won't be food anymore!"

  Everyone went out to eat, Ye Pingyu hurriedly ran to the party school cafeteria with Bao Gelei.

  After arriving at the cafeteria, although many people went out to eat, there were still many students eating inside. The two of them found a place to sit down and after sitting down, they saw several young men and women sitting together.

  Everyone immediately stood up to welcome Ye Pingyu as soon as he arrived, because not only did Ye Pingyu speak as a representative of the students, but also became the class leader of this young cadre class. Although Bao Gelei was not a student, he was from the Party School, and everyone should show more respect for him, otherwise it would be troublesome when it came to the exam.

  Everyone stood up to greet him, Ye Pingyu hastily asked everyone to sit down and introduced themselves. As a result of this introduction, it was discovered that among those who had dinner together, there were not only township officials but also county officials, including a young official from the county government office. In addition, there was a young female comrade from the county health bureau, whose marital status was unknown, and she looked very beautiful. Bao Gelei stared at her for several glances.

  He didn't mind the county government official Ye Pingyu, what he cared about was the county health bureau official, because she happened to be in charge of his sister's unit. Now that they knew each other, if there were any issues in the future, he could directly contact her and ask for help, so he wouldn't need to go find Gao Kexin and Teng Qing again. It was better to solve things himself anyway.

  After introduction, Ye Pingyu knew that her name was Wu Xiaoxian, now working in the county health bureau office, coincidentally having connections with various hospitals. If there's anything to ask of her, she'll definitely be able to help get it done.

  Bao Ge Lie saw that Ye Ping Yu was also interested in her, thinking that Ye Ping Yu had also taken a liking to Wu Xiao Qian. Her heart felt a bit sour, but she couldn't say anything on the surface.

  Wu Xiaoqian looks relatively delicate, and it's hard to tell if she's married or not. Of course, this can't be asked directly, and Ye Pingyu didn't have the idea of asking about this either. He mainly wanted to make friends for his sister's sake, while Bao Gelei was thinking about finding out whether Wu Xiaoqian was married or not.

  Looking at Ye Pingyu sitting there, Wu Xiaoxian's eyes seemed softer, with a virtuous wife and good mother kind of feeling, making Ye Pingyu feel that if she hadn't gotten married, she would be a suitable object to pursue, unlike Chang Fang and Zhao Yanan who didn't give him this feeling.

  Although Wu Xiaoqian and others were more respectful to Ye Pingyu, after all, he was the class leader of the Qinggan class and also a deputy department-level cadre, who was higher than them. However, the cadre from the county government office didn't take him seriously because he usually dealt with towns in the county government office. To say nothing of Ye Pingyu being the director of the Party and Government Office in the town, even the vice secretary of the town might not have caught his eye.

  It's clear that the county government office cadre has a sense of superiority, but Ye Pingyu is too lazy to care about this matter. Originally, he didn't take him seriously anyway. Xiao Jianzhong is still in the county party committee, what's so great about that?

  Bao Ge Lie slightly disapproved, and in his words, he mentioned that Xiao Jian Zhong was his classmate. As soon as he said this, the county government official didn't dare to underestimate him anymore. After all, compared to the county party committee office, the county government office was still inferior. The other person had a classmate from the county party committee office, so this county government official wasn't anything special.

  After finishing dinner, Ye Pingyu and Wu Xiaoxian said goodbye to each other, then left with Bao Gelei. After they walked away, Bao Gelei whispered to Ye Pingyu on the road: "Pingyu, what do you think of Wu Xiaoxian just now?"

  Suddenly he understood his mind, Ye Pingyu smiled and said: "Lao Bao, what are you going to do? Have you taken a fancy to someone?"

  Bao Ge Lie's face turned red as he said: "No, I was just asking, nothing else!"

  Ye Pingyu smiled and said: "You look good, but the key is whether you have a partner or are married?"
