Chapter 132: Visitors Arrive at Night

  After hearing Ye Pingyu's words, Zhao Yuangong knew what Ye Pingyu required. He thought for a moment and then said: "Director Ye, you mentioned several departments that need to be adjusted, I'll mention a few too, see if they can be done!"

  Ye Pingyu saw that he also wanted to bring it up, thinking that this must be a transaction with himself. Although the word "transaction" sounds unpleasant, in fact, it is just a kind of transaction, only their starting points are different. He was completely for work, while Zhao Yuangong was for power.

  Ye Pingyu listened attentively, and Zhao Yuangong proposed that the positions of several departments such as Agricultural Station, Veterinary Station, and Financial Office need to be adjusted. Although the tenure of these departmental positions is not too long, in order to strengthen work, adjustments must be made, otherwise it will not be conducive to work.

  Zhao Yuangong brought up the finance department, and Ye Pingyu also understood his true intention. The agricultural station and veterinary station were unimportant departments that wouldn't even enter Zhao Yuangong's eyes. Only the head of the finance department could catch his attention. He proposed these two departments just to cover himself, just like Ye Pingyu did.

  Ye Pingyu thought for a moment and smiled: "The tenure is not long, if we force them to adjust, they might not obey!"

  Zhao Yuangong said, "Old comrades who have been in office for many years, now suddenly transferred them away, they will also be dissatisfied. We can't not adjust just because they are dissatisfied, right, Ye Xiangzhang?"

  Ye Pingyu felt that Zhao Yuankong was indeed formidable, and he immediately shut down his words. It seems that Liang Jun's position as head of the finance department is not guaranteed to be kept. Originally, he just wanted to balance the situation in the countryside a bit, letting Liang Jun make some concessions. Now that Zhao Yuankong has already made his move and divided the power in the countryside with him, if he still insists on keeping Liang Jun, it would be somewhat unwise. Anyway, Liang Jun was not someone he admired, so trading him away to Zhao Yuankong wouldn't be a big loss either.

  Thinking of this, Ye Pingyu looked at Zhao Yuangong and said directly: "Secretary Zhao, since that's the case, can I propose a specific adjustment plan first?"

  Zhao Yuangong said: "Ye Xiangzhang, you speak first, see if what we think is the same!"

  "Let's swap the positions of the head of the statistics office and the head of the finance office, swap the director of the family planning office with the head of the agricultural station, have Wang Qiang take over as head of the water conservancy station, and leave the position of head of the veterinary station unchanged for now. What do you think?"

  Ye Pingyu proposed an adjustment plan, knowing that Zhao Yuangong's preferred candidate for the head of the finance department was Yao Weiguo. Originally, Zhao Yuangong had a close relationship with Yang Maogang, but now that he had become the secretary, promoting Yao Weiguo to a higher position was also his rightful duty. However, the more this was the case, the less likely he was to propose Yao Weiguo as head of the finance department, in order to make further deals with him.

  Zhao Yuangong smiled and said, "Director Ye, I have no objection to Wang Qiang taking over as the head of the water conservancy station, but for the position of head of the finance department, I suggest that Yao Weiguo take it. The veterinary station head can be temporarily left unchanged according to your request. As for the statistical station head, Old Lü is indeed old, and I think he can step down from his middle-level cadre position along with Yan Bingli, and just let them serve as village cadres."

  Zhao Yuangong has always disliked Yan Bingli, but he can't force him to quit either. Now that Ye Pingyu has made this request, why not take advantage of the situation and agree to his demand, then achieve his own goal?

  Seeing Zhao Yuankong happily agreed to let Wang Qiang take over as the head of the water conservancy station, Ye Pingyu thought for a moment and felt that this adjustment basically conformed to his interests while also achieving the purpose of promoting work. The three positions he proposed - statistics station, family planning office, and water conservancy station - all had personnel changes, whereas the veterinary station proposed by Zhao Yuankong did not change under his suggestion. In this case, it was still him who gained more benefits.

  Yeping Yu smiled and said: "Everything will be arranged by Secretary Zhao."

  Zhao Yuankong smiled and said in a low voice: Ye Pingyu is clever, let's just say it's settled then. Everything will be done according to his arrangements from now on.

  The two sides reached a consensus on this very sensitive issue of cadre adjustment. The next step is to hold a meeting to study the matter and achieve the expected goal.

  Two people had just discussed this matter in the morning, and by more than 10 o'clock at night, Ye Pingyu lived in the family courtyard, preparing to go to bed, clothes were all taken off, washed his feet, and was about to sleep when he heard a knock on the door outside.

  Usually, due to a lot of work, there are often people knocking on the door and coming in to report some work at night. Anyway, he lives alone and is not afraid of being disturbed, so he didn't mind much, thinking that someone had an urgent matter to report to him and came to find him to report work.

  He hastily put on his clothes, wearing slippers and walked outside to open the door. As soon as he opened the door, he found it was not someone else, but Zhao Wenli, the typist from the Party and Government Office.

  As soon as he saw it was her, Ye Pingyu hastily stepped aside to let her in. Outside, the sky had darkened. After she entered, he only then noticed that Zhao Wenli was still holding something in her hand, seemingly some kind of fruit or something.

  As soon as he saw her still carrying things, Ye Pingyu's face was taken aback and said: "Xiao Zhao, what are you doing?"

  Zhao Wenli said hastily: "Ye Xiangzhang, you live alone here and no one takes care of you. I'll buy some fruit for you and also get some supplements to nourish your body!"

  As they spoke, Zhao Wenli had already walked into the living room of Ye Pingyu's house, and Ye Pingyu could only follow behind her and walk in.

  After Zhao Wenli went in, she put two big packages on the coffee table and sat down carefully. Ye Pingyu looked at the things on the coffee table and hurriedly said: "Little Zhao, I can take care of myself just fine, what supplements are these? I don't need them!"

  Ye Pingyu picked up two large packages to hand over to Zhao Wenli, who hastily pushed them away. As she did so, Ye Pingyu caught sight of her wearing a low-cut top, and with one glance downwards, the scenery inside was laid bare for all to see. Her pale skin looked even whiter under the lamp's reflection.

  After arguing for a while, Zhao Wenli suddenly realized that the position she was standing in made her look up at Ye Pingyu, and her face turned red as she said: "Ye Village Chief, if you don't accept it, it's like you're looking down on me, Zhao Wenli. I'm older than you, originally you called me 'sister', now that you've become the village chief, if you don't accept this small gift, it's like you're looking down on Sister Zhao!"

  As soon as he heard her say that, Ye Pingyu couldn't refuse anymore. Sometimes the one receiving the gift is more troubled than the one giving it. There was no way around it, so if she wanted to give it, then so be it, and he would just accept it for now.

  As Zhao Wenli sat back down, Ye Pingyu's mind was still flashing with the scene he had just seen. At this time, all he saw was Zhao Wenli's face flushing red, her legs tightly closed together as she sat there, and if she straightened up a bit, that part of her chest could still be seen.

  Ye Pingyu hastily sat down and looked at her seriously: "Zhao sister, we are old colleagues, how can you still think of doing this?"

  Zhao Wenli calmed down and said, "Ye Xiangzhang, since you became the village head, I haven't come to visit you yet. Today I came to visit you, bringing a small gift. Don't be displeased, it's just a token of my goodwill!"

  Ye Pingyu smiled slightly and thought to himself, "Her intentions aren't bad, but I don't know what her true intentions are. Since she's come all the way here, she must have some kind of request in mind; otherwise, why would she suddenly come to visit him?"

  "Sister Zhao, the work in the Party and Government Office is now very stable, your job is also very important. If you have any requirements, you can directly ask Director Bai!" Ye Pingyu thought she was worried about her own work, so he explained to her that there were no more positions available in the Party and Government Office, and her current job was very important, it would be impossible for her to move to a different position.

  Zhao Wenli was also a clever person, and as soon as she heard the meaning of Ye Pingyu's words, she said: "Ye Village Chief, I don't have any requests. My work in the Party and Government Office is going well. I just came to visit you. If you're too busy to eat, come to our house for a meal. Our old Zhao is also a kind-hearted person!"

  She didn't understand why she wanted to look for herself, but as soon as she mentioned Old Zhao, Ye Pingyu suddenly realized that her boyfriend was none other than Zhao Pu, the head of the veterinary station. She must have heard some rumors and came to find him, not for Zhao Wenli's sake, but for Zhao Pu's sake.

  But what's the point of Zhao Pu letting his own wife come find him? And she's wearing a low-cut top, running to his place in the middle of the night. If someone sees her, who knows what they'll think!

  As he thought about it, Ye Pingyu looked at Zhao Wenli again, only to see her sitting there with her head down, her face even redder than before, and she was acting like a young lady who had never experienced anything.

  Ye Pingyu found it strange that Zhao Wenli, although just a typist with not high education, was actually quite pretty and had a good figure. Wearing this dress, which seemed to be newly bought, she would definitely stand out in the crowd. She was only five or six years older than him, and when he was at the Party and Government Office, he often thought of taking another look at her, but Zhao Wenli was quite proper and hadn't let him hear any rumors about her.

  He glanced at the coffee table and Ye Pingyu only then discovered that on the package of some supplement, the two words "invigorating yang" were written in bold letters. He had thought it was some kind of delicious supplement, but he didn't expect it to be a virility supplement!

  What is this? She's not even married yet, and she actually sent him a tonic for impotence. What kind of heart does Zhao Wenli have?

  Ye Pingyu felt his face turning red too, and he didn't dare look at the tea table again. He couldn't let Zhao Wenli take it away either. After some thought, he had no choice but to give a dismissive order: "Sister Zhao, it's getting late, if you don't have anything else, please go back, I still need to rest!"

  Zhao Wenli heard his words, raised her head slightly, with a very shy expression on her face, but her body didn't move, looking like she wanted to say something but stopped herself. Seeing this, Ye Pingyu glanced at the package of tonic supplements on the tea table that she had brought over, and suddenly a terrible thought popped into his mind - could it be that Zhao Wenli had come so late on purpose, trying to seduce him?
