Chapter 6 Four Years

  Thanks for turning around and walking away, giving "Guan De" its first hall master!!

  In the four years of college, Yang Bin became more reserved after parting with his former younger brothers. He even unexpectedly saved the young son of Wang Shuji, the party secretary of the academy, who fell into Donghu Lake outside the academy, and joined the party due to good luck. He served as the chairman of the department's student union for a year.

  After joining the party and having a status, people naturally pay attention to their behavior, so Bin Ye has been very dignified for a long time. Of course, this is also the fundamental reason why he can bear the humiliation and pressure of Qin Liang's high-pressure work without exploding for so long.

  However, Bin Jye is inherently a scoundrel and an outlaw. Once a scoundrel and outlaw loses the constraints of morality and law, it's hard to say what kind of shocking things he might do.

  The anger of a common man can still splatter blood for five steps! When Brother Ben gets angry, that... at least it has to be covered in dog shit all over the place!

  Right, after the meeting is over, I'll take a closer look at that reload world function on my phone. Maybe I can use it to rewrite my increasingly miserable life without resorting to violence or becoming a fugitive again.

  Killing Qin Liang's whole family, running wildly to the ends of the earth might feel great, but what if I couldn't escape to Vietnam or Myanmar and was caught by the public security department? On the day I bravely go to my execution, Dad, Mom, and little sister will definitely cry until they're half dead.

  At that time, as a party member, he was very brave to shout "Long live XXX" and "Down with XX imperialism", but it's estimated that it wouldn't be of much use.

  It's better to live a decent life than to be a good-for-nothing and a fugitive.

  Qin Liang, you wait! Ben Ye won't be a good-for-nothing and a fugitive, one day I will destroy your whole family!

  ……

  Qin Liang was clearly unhappy about being criticized by the leader earlier, which he blamed on Yang Bin. However, considering that Director Sun Piaoyun was present, he had to maintain his image and composure in front of her, so he didn't continue to pick on Yang Bin. Instead, he returned to the agenda of the meeting.

  "It's mid-February now, and our project team 3 has completed 63% of the investment attraction task for this quarter. If we work hard until the end of next month, we should be able to smoothly complete the assigned task indicators."

  "Director Zhou Xiaoyi signed another big client yesterday, which means she completed all the sales tasks for this quarter a month and a half ahead of schedule. I'd like to give her a thumbs up here! Everyone should work hard to learn from her!" Qin Liang said with a round of applause.

  The scene at the early meeting was filled with sparse applause under the leadership of Director Sun Piaoyun and Qin Liang. Zhou Xiaoyi's charming eyes glanced around with a hint of complacency, also casting a glance at Yang Bin sitting next to Zheng Ying.

  This is not just a commendation, the news Zhou Xiaoyi got from Qin Liang is... Director Sun Piaoyun and Deputy Director Dai have both recognized her ability and achievements. This means that next Monday, as long as it is announced at the bureau meeting, she will officially become an on-the-job employee, becoming a staff member with the same status as Qin Liang.

  At that time, she and Yang Bin had truly become one in heaven and one on earth. The matter of parting with Yang Bin also didn't have any place worth her regretting.

  In college, she was revered by the boys in her department as the "department flower", while Yang Bin was recognized as the "handsome guy" and also a sports ace. The two were referred to by their classmates as the "Golden Boy and Jade Maiden", and walking together seemed like a very natural thing.

  Of course, it was her who used a little trick to get him hooked.

  In college, it's hard for a girl to chase after a boy, especially if she's of the caliber of a department flower.

  Yang Bin is tall and handsome, with a strong and sunny personality. Many girls have secret crushes on him. When Zhou Xiao Yi walked alongside Yang Bin in the schoolyard at that time, she felt very proud.

  However, after entering society, whether a man is handsome or not has basically no significance as long as he doesn't become a pretty boy. A poor couple has a hundred worries, especially after the two of them rented a place together in Yunfeng City and paid their rent, there's hardly any salary left.

  Can't afford clothes, can't use cosmetics, can't eat at restaurants, can't watch movies, can't buy concert tickets, can't hail a ride, can only use knockoff phones...

  No one paid attention to the handsome guy beside her anymore. Instead, Zhou Xiaoyi felt ashamed of the cheap clothes and cosmetics on herself.

  A woman's youth is only a few years, she knows she can't afford to waste it. She can't keep suffering with Yang Bin, can't struggle together with him until the day when the clouds open and the moon appears, and as time goes by, she feels more and more that Yang Bin's future may be like this now, without much change.

  This is an era of nepotism, unless you are exceptionally outstanding, it's unlikely to stand out in the vast ocean of people without relying on family relationships. Yang Bin's parents were ordinary teachers at a rural middle school, and their social connections can be imagined. Moreover, Zhou Xiao Yi felt that Yang Bin had obvious personality flaws, being too rigid and lacking flexibility, which makes it difficult to succeed in today's society.

  This is not a savage primitive society where one can become the leader by relying on brute force, but a society governed strictly under rules and laws.

  Her choice in college was wrong.

  It was a mistake made in that innocent age. Now she is 23 years old, and her youth will soon be gone. She must make changes as soon as possible while she still has the capital.

  It was at this time that Qin Liang walked into her life.

  It's hard to say whether it was her charming eyes that seduced Qin Liang, or if Qin Liang had already harbored ulterior motives towards her. In any case, after the two of them shared a tacit understanding, it was only a matter of time before they ended up together in a compromising situation.

  Qin Liang's family is also in the education system, but Qin Liang's father works at Yunfeng City Education Bureau, and his mother serves as vice principal of Yunfeng No. 1 Middle School, a provincial key middle school. The family has four houses and three cars.

  Those days, Qin Liang used his private car in the name of work to take her on a tour, go to hotels for big meals, attend concerts and music festivals, from time to time give her high-end cosmetics, large cakes, beautiful roses and expensive clothes and jewelry.

  She thought that was the life she wanted.

  Her views have also begun to change rapidly... Now in her opinion, whether a man is handsome or not has nothing to do with his appearance, but rather with his family background and whether he has money.

  Especially when Qin Liang told her half a month ago that he had received exact news from Director Sun, it was certain that Yang Bin would not be among the two new clerks added to the bureau's staffing; but if he helped her strive for it, there was a great chance of transferring her into the system.

  She had already made up her mind at that time and would bring up the topic of breaking up with Yang Bin when the time was right.

  However, his meticulous protection, care and tolerance towards her over the past four years made it difficult for her to say this.

  It was the best for her to be accidentally bumped into by him and Qin Liang. Moreover, since he took the initiative to break up and scolded her as a "cheap person", she had no psychological burden on that four-year relationship anymore.

  ……

  When Zhou Xiao Yi looked over at Yang Bin, Yang Bin was staring blankly at the ceiling, as if he hadn't heard anything.

  Several clerks from the third group applauded and exchanged knowing glances with each other, they had already roughly guessed what had happened between Qin Liang, Zhou Xiao Yi and Yang Bin recently.

  So it's no wonder Yang Bin was reprimanded and Zhou Xiaoyi was praised.

  "I also want to criticize some comrades in our project group 3! For example, Comrade Yang Bin, who has not yet completed 10% of the quarterly task! If it weren't for him dragging his feet, the overall completion progress of our project group 3's recruitment task would likely be 80%! Instead of the current 63%, which is only slightly ahead of the other two project groups!"

  "Comrade Yang Bin, you must reflect on your work attitude! You can't even complete tasks on time! You're late to the morning meeting! How do you treat your work?" Qin Liang's tone immediately became extremely severe as soon as he mentioned Yang Bin.

  Generally speaking, calling others 'XX comrade', at least oneself should be a head of department or section chief to sound more appropriate. Qin Liang was just an officer and had not even reached the deputy department level required for leading cadres, but he had already mastered the official language.

  Hearing Qin Liang's words, Yang Bin was so angry that he couldn't speak...

  Although the project team has assigned task indicators to each person, many business projects cannot be completed independently by one person. Some people are running outside, and some people need to do logistics and chores in the back. Sometimes the progress of task completion depends entirely on the mouth of the project leader. He says who completes more, who completes less, he wants to say who completes less, who completes less.

  In fact, for the past year, most of the dirty and tiring work in Project Three has been done by Yang Bin. As for how Zhou Xiaoyi completed his quarterly tasks ahead of time, Yang Bin hasn't even finished 10%, it's all because of how Qin Liang divided up the work and said so.

  Yang Bin had a feeling that Qin Liang, taking advantage of his tardiness today, scolded him in front of Project Director Sun Fei Yun and clearly blamed the progress of his task completion, mostly because he had the intention to fire him.

  Forget it, no point arguing with him. After the meeting tomorrow, I'll study the new features of this magical phone clearly, maybe there's another way to deal with this bird brain.

  Qin Liang continued to talk incessantly to the crowd in the project group, of course, most of the words were spoken for Sun Piaoyun's ears. Listening to his 'report', Director Sun Piaoyun had a smile on her face all along, seemingly very satisfied with the work of Project Group 3.
