Chapter 397: I beg of you, be reasonable
anceWith the previous build-up, Ye Fan easily got all his classmates pumped up. Even Su Qin was wondering what this kid was up toAnd throughout, Ye Fan evaluated the four competitors with highly compl...After all, the Education Bureau is the direct management unit of Limin University.
She just didn't want her husband to get involved again because they had already used their connections once when he was transferred before. Ye Fan dared not say that Wang Yan wanted to break free from her husband's control, but there was indeed some truth to it. When Wang Yan was promoted from an ordinary teacher in one department to the head of the teaching department last time, she used a lot of connections. Now, those connections might not work, let alone promotions to higher levels. Her husband probably couldn't help with that.
"That's also true." Wu Xia pondered for a moment.
Seeing Wu Xia frown, Ye Fan knew it would be a bit difficult. After all, this kind of thing was too common now. Many people were already working ahead of time, and sometimes the movement involved made even Wu Xia helpless.
She also reached out to Li's contacts. Ye Fan knew Wang Yan was already working through Li Xiangting, so he spoke up.
"Oh " Wu Xia looked at Ye Fan curiously and said, "I guess it should be Li Xiangting who is working for Wang Yan. Since that's the case, then it's easy to handle."
As the daughter of Li Xingtong, the secretary of the Linhai Municipal Party Committee, Li Xiangting was quite well-known within the system. Wu Xia naturally knew this. Just from what Ye Fan had said, she could tell roughly the situation.
Okay, let's do it this way. Come to my place tomorrow with her. Wu Xia said decisively this time: It's not suitable to talk in the office. I'll wait for you at home at noon tomorrow. How about that
That's right, okay. Ye Fan knows this kind of thing, if someone with ill intentions sees it in the office, it would indeed be bad.
By the way, Xiao Fan, how is your relationship with Teacher Li Xiangting Wu Xia continued.
"Not bad," said Wu Xia. Ye Fan gave her a puzzled look, but quickly understood. After all, next year was an election year and Wu Xia wanted to climb the ladder further. She was currently the director of the Municipal Education Bureau. If things went well, she could at least get into the municipal party committee and become a deputy department-level official, which was quite hopeful.
Limhai City holds a special position in Huaxia. Its mayor ranks the same as governors of other provinces. However, due to its crucial role within the country and being a stepping stone for many aspiring officials heading to Yanjing, Limhai often sees individuals who reach the top positions rising to prominence within Huaxia's core leadership. Compared to other provinces, they wield significantly more power.
And next year, Li Xiangting's father is estimated to be going to Beijing. But Secretary Li has a vast network of connections in LInhai City over the years, and now that he has been promoted, speaking up for Wu Xia would still carry weight.
Also because of this, Wu Xia got close to Si Kong Yanran. The last time she helped Ye Fan enter Linhai University was to leverage the strength of the Si Kong family and ensure a smoother path for her own promotion.
So, before Wu Xia could speak, Ye Fan nodded and said: "Aunt Wu, Li Teacher is coming to my house for a visit these two days. I'll call you in advance, and you can chat with her at my aunt's place, how about that"
Upon hearing Ye Fan's words, Wu Xia's face flashed with a hint of joy. She immediately nodded and said: "Okay, okay."
Han and Wu Xia chatted casually for a while. Ye Fan brought up Su Qin's matter again, and Wu Xia readily agreed. After all, the position she was transferring to Su Qin wasn't too big of a deal, it was still easy for her to handle. And she was also very happy that Ye Fan could ask her to do this.
After all, in terms of family influence, although the Si Kong family ranked last, they still possessed terrifying power. Especially their network of contacts spanning politics, commerce, and the military, if they truly wanted to help Wang Yan secure a position, it would be effortless. Even getting into the standing committee of Lin Hai University wouldn't be difficult.
At this moment, when they fell silent together, Wu Xia and Ye Fan's gazes met. She didn't avoid his gaze, but her face flushed slightly.
With a soft sigh, Wu Xia knew that she might really be sinking. The physical pleasure just now lingered in her memory, even more terrifying was the fact that when Ye Fan kissed her, she didn't feel a shred of resistance. And when Ye Fan's body fell, she didn't reach out to pull him back, but fell with him instead.
The atmosphere was a little eerie. Wu Xia looked at Ye Fan, as if she remembered something, and softly asked: "Little Fan, between you and Miner, there is also..."
At this point, she purposely stopped, gazing intently at Ye Fan with a serious expression. However, her eyes betrayed her; at this moment, she seemed flustered and slightly nervous.
If Wu Min'er and Ye Fan were to have a relationship, and she, as his mother, was so ambiguous with Ye Fan, even coming close to crossing the final line, it would be something Wu Xia found difficult to accept for a while.
Ye Fan shook his head. Should he tell Wu Xia the truth That would make things awkward for everyone.
He also understood that Wu Xia was just looking for a way out. After all, the two of them weren't familiar at all before, but such an ambiguous scene happened, she must have been very worried in her heart.
As expected, seeing Ye Fan shaking his head calmly, Wu Xia immediately said: "I knew it. Min'er only likes you, and there's no chance for you two to do anything."
Although she said so, Wu Min'er was still uneasy in her heart. After all, as Wu Min'er's mother, she had noticed the subtle changes in her daughter. But she didn't want to create a barrier between herself and Ye Fan!
The two seemed to be on the same wavelength, and after discussing this topic, they didn't bring it up again. They chatted about some mundane things, just then there was a knock at the door.
At this moment, the two looked at each other and smiled. At this point, there was no trace of anything on them anymore, and they seemed much calmer. Wu Xia turned her head and said: "The door is open."
The door was indeed open. If it were locked, I'd probably have an idea. But Ye Fan just kicked the door shut at the beginning.
As the door creaked open, Si Kong Yanran and Wu Miner walked in. Upon seeing the two chatting, Si Kong Yanran first cast a meaningful glance at Ye Fan before smiling and saying: "What are you two talking about For so long."
"Oh, this isn't about learning, is it Ye Fan immediately said, "My English teacher is coming for a home visit in two days, and I need to prepare in advance. Aunt Wu happens to be in education, so I wanted to ask her for some advice."
Hearing Ye Fan's words, Wu Xia also smiled cooperatively and said: "Oh, by the way, Ye Fan also invited me to participate in the family visit that day."
Sisong Yanran nodded and said: "That's good too. I've been so busy lately that I haven't done any preparation. It just so happens that Sister Wu is here, and there's someone to accompany Teacher Li. Otherwise, it would be a bit dull for me to be alone."
"I want to go too, I want to go too." Wu Min'er immediately wrapped her arms around Si Kong Yanran and said.
"It's fine if you come with your mother." Xiao Si chuckled, playfully nudging her nose. Then she turned back to Ye Fan, studying his face intently, as if searching for a clue. It seemed like Wu Min'er had told her something, or perhaps she simply couldn't believe that the two of them had been discussing this matter for so long.already filled with hot water, and the whole bathroom was filled with steam. Ye Fan and Kunka walked in and lay in the water. He then smiled and said, "How about it Do you like my place""Very good...e...
