Insufficient balance

  Hello!

  For this Jiangling Municipal CPPCC Chairman, who was only heard but not seen in the past life, Ye Jun was also full of curiosity. He looked at Han Qiansheng and planned to remember this old man who had always advocated for "consultation does not replace, supervision does not oppose, participation in politics does not interfere with politics, and discussion of politics does not govern" in his heart, after all, he might have a lot of dealings with this iron-boned old man in the future.

  At the same time, Han Qiansheng was also sizing up Ye Jun. Gu Renfang was his childhood friend and a good friend of several decades. Not many people could gain Gu Renfang's high praise, especially not a young man with a slightly immature face. Han Qiansheng had met too many young people who seemed to have unlimited potential in his lifetime, but reality was cruel, and many young talents had been defeated by the harsh realities of life. However, Han Qiansheng's keen observation discovered that this young man, who seemed inexperienced, had a calmness in his eyes that didn't match his age, which surprised him somewhat.

  "Grandpa! What are you talking about? Ye Jun is helping me with my studies, it's not what you think..."

  Hearing that Han Qian Sheng had thought her relationship with Ye Jun was so complicated, Han Yun Jiao's face suddenly turned red, and she pulled on Han Qian Sheng's hand, looking discontent.

  "Alright, it's rare to have guests at home, so don't stare foolishly and scare them off."

  A charming middle-aged woman walked towards me, presumably Han Yun's mother, Zhong Qing.

  "Auntie, since I've just arrived, this small gift, please accept it." Ye Jun hastily handed over the fruit basket in his hand.

  "I heard your name is Ye Jun? Too polite, how can Auntie accept your gift?"

  Zhong Qing's smile on her face grew thicker, at least looking at Ye Jun was quite sensible. To be honest, she had never liked those seemingly dull boys, although it was painful for her daughter, Han Ya Qian was almost 25 years old, and her slender small hands had not been touched by a man yet, which was enough to prove Zhong Qing's extraordinary place.

  "This is an exception, these are fresh fruits, Auntie might as well take them."

  Zhong Qing didn't take it, so Ye Jun hastily handed it over. Zhong Qing wasn't a stubborn woman either, she smiled and said a few words before placing the fruit basket on the table. But Han Kuangqing kept scrutinizing Ye Jun with an appraising gaze, making Ye Jun's hair stand on end.

  It seemed that Ye Jun was uncomfortable all over, and Han Ya Qian hurriedly smiled: "Xiao Yun, quickly take Ye Jun into the house to study."

  Ye Jun exhaled a breath and hastily followed Han Yun, whose face was flushed red, into a bedroom. A faint fragrance wafted out to greet them, suddenly reminding Ye Jun of an old saying: a maiden's boudoir always has some unusual scent.

  For the first time, letting a boy help with homework, Han Yun was quite shy, but those test papers from that day were really too memorable. If not for witnessing Ye Jun writing furiously on the spot, and having so many school leaders present to supervise, Han Yun would have found it impossible to believe that such shocking answers could come from the hand of a repeater student, especially one who was yelled at by Huang Boquan as a "bad student".

  However, Han Yun, who had calmed down, gradually gave in. So, she put aside her reserve as a mother and hoped that Ye Jun could help her daughter with her studies, especially her not-so-fluent English oral skills.

  It's clear that Ye Jun didn't know how to help Han Yun with her studies either, as he couldn't possibly tell her that his perfect scores were a result of his extensive reading and memorization. So, the two hours that seemed like they would be spent studying turned into a quiet time for conversation, gradually expanding from academic topics to people's relationships and famous scenic spots. Han Yun was very curious about how Ye Jun, who was around the same age as her, had been to so many countries. However, she couldn't have guessed that in his past life, Ye Jun had traveled extensively due to business or missions related to his magical watch.

  When she learned that Ye Jun could not only speak fluent English, but also French, German, Spanish, Japanese and nearly eighteen other languages, her small mouth was slightly ajar, and her beautiful eyes sparkled with wonder.

  As a girl still indulging in the fairy tale of Prince Charming and Cinderella, Han Yun had always hoped to meet a prince-like boy. As she grew older, she found that the boys around her were either awkwardly silent or stupidly foolish. As a member of an official family, she would not have a good impression of students who were rough in speech, only talking about fighting and killing. So, Han Yun had always hoped to meet her true love during college, but unfortunately, she failed this high school entrance exam and could only postpone this wish for another year.

  "He's really good."

  In a daze, a strange idea suddenly rose up, causing Han Yun's face to flush with embarrassment, and she quickly calmed her mind to listen to Ye Jun talk about the Scottish Highlands.

  "Are you sure it's okay? A man and a woman alone in a room, nothing will happen?"

  Han Kuangqing thought of going to the "front line" for inspection several times, but seeing Zhong Qing and Han Ya Qian's calm faces, Han Qiansheng humming in Beijing dialect, he felt uneasy all over, not to mention being unable to sit or stand.

  "What's wrong? What happened?" Han Qiansheng opened his eyes with a smile all over his face.

  "Dad, isn't it obvious? A man and a woman, what can happen? Do I need to spell it out for you as your son?"

  Han Kuangqing suddenly became furious, and didn't expect Han Qiansheng to be so disrespectful at his age. At this critical moment, he was not being serious, and immediately stood up in anger, saying: "No way! I have to go take a look!"

  "Sit down!"

  Han Qiansheng suddenly shouted sternly, and Han Kuangqing, who had never dared to disobey his father's will, could only sit on the sofa with his head in his hands. Han Qiansheng smiled and took over the apple that Zhong Qing had repaired, saying: "Look at your daughter-in-law, look at your daughter, and finally look at your old man! We're not in a hurry, what's the rush? It really fits that saying, 'The emperor is not anxious, the eunuch is anxious.' Is Xiaoyun not our precious darling? Kuangqing, where did your usual cleverness go?"

  Han Kuangqing was originally still sulking, but upon hearing this, he looked at Zhong Qing and Han Ya Qian with a smile on their faces, and suddenly realized something. He couldn't help but probe: "What's going on? Dad, does that kid have some kind of background? Have you already investigated?"

  "Nonsense! Do you think I'm as irresponsible as you are?"

  Without paying any attention to Han Kuangqing's embarrassed expression, Han Qiansheng smiled and said: "Actually, I had secretly inquired about some information from Old Gu. This kid is the son of Ye Yangsheng. Don't say that your father didn't remind you, half a year later, this kid's father will be your direct superior, do you understand? What kind of person Ye Yangsheng is, you are also clear, his son, just talking about quality, at least stronger than you when you were young."

  Rise of the leaf?

  Han Kuangqing was stunned, to be honest, as the Standing Committee member and Executive Vice Mayor of Jiangling City, Han Kuangqing had heard of Ye Yangsheng's name. If Ye Yangsheng took office at the end of the year, he would indeed be his direct superior. In fact, when he heard that the province had decided to replace the mayor with someone else, Han Kuangqing was initially unhappy and almost went to the provincial party committee office to argue, but when he heard that the person replacing the former mayor was Ye Yangsheng, the vice mayor of Guangnan City, he immediately lost his temper.

  To be honest, Guangnan City and Jiangling City are only a two-hour drive away. For this upright and efficient Vice Mayor Ye, Han Kuangqing is also deeply admired. And Ye Jun also thought of it after entering the door, in fact, in the previous life, those who were really willing to stand on Ye Yangsheng's side were not many in the entire Jiangling City, only a few could be counted, and Han Kuangqing was one of them. However, I didn't know that Han Kuangqing was actually the son of Han Qiansheng and the father of Han Yun!

  It was only later that for some unknown reason, Han Kuangqing, who had originally stood in the open to support Ye Yangsheng, quietly shifted to a hidden position. It seemed that Han Qiansheng had sensed some storm and made preparations in advance, allowing Han Kuangqing to protect himself.

  This also explains why Ye Yangsheng sent the most telegrams before and after his funeral to the Han family.

  "It turned out to be Lao Ye's little rabbit, really didn't see it coming, no wonder you all have nothing to fear."

  Han Kuangqing suddenly laughed foolishly and picked up an apple from the fruit basket, taking a big bite: "Sweet, really sweet!"

  "They didn't even wash it before biting into it, aren't you afraid of pesticides?"

  Zhong Qing rolled her eyes, while Han Kuangqing was too busy enjoying himself to care. Suddenly, the doorbell rang again, and Han Kuangqing furrowed his brow, saying: "It's almost 9 o'clock, who's coming over so late?"

  "Mom, I'll open the door."

  At this time, Ye Jun and Han Yun walked out laughing and chatting, seeing Zhong Qing getting up to open the door, they quickly took over the heavy work.

  "Xiao Jun, is your dad..."

  "Ah! Don't!"

  Han Kuangqing was just about to pull Ye Jun to talk, but before he finished speaking, he heard a terrified cry from the gate and suddenly became anxious: "Xiao Yun, what's wrong?"

  Ye Jun's eyes widened in shock, and his mind was racing with thoughts. He couldn't understand who would be so bold as to sneak into the Han family home at night. But soon, he saw two men hastily appear, one of whom covered Han Yun's mouth while holding a sharp fruit knife against her neck. The other man smiled and said, "Mayor Han, I apologize for using this method to communicate with you. Oh, I didn't expect Chairman Han to be here too, not even resting at such a late hour. But this is better, we can have a more pleasant conversation."

  "Liang Tao! What are you trying to do? You must understand that what you're doing is against the law!"

  Han Kuang's eyes turned red with anger, and he said in a cold voice: "Let go of Xiaoyun, I can pretend that nothing happened."

  "No rush! Mayor Han, let's make things clear today, I'll leave immediately, how about that?"

  Liang Tao said calmly, not taking Han Kuangqing's words seriously. He picked up a pear from the table and took a bite: "Mayor Han, I advise you not to act rashly, otherwise, your subordinates might not understand the situation, and if they accidentally hurt your precious daughter, it would be terrible."

  "Child, don't be afraid, don't cry."

  Zhong Qing was already on the verge of tears, while Han Ya Qian was completely stunned, clearly intimidated by a scene that only existed on TV screens. Seeing Han Yun had already been scared to tears, Zhong Qing, despite being frightened and shocked herself, comforted her saying: "Don't worry, child, it's okay, Uncle is just teasing you, don't move around, got it?"

  "Liang Tao, what exactly do you want?"

  Han Kuangqing saw his daughter's panicked and wronged face, then saw Han Qiansheng's seemingly calm but actually anxious appearance, knowing that at this critical moment, he couldn't afford to mess up, or else he would regret it.

  "Mayor Han, same words, release my brother and promise not to continue investigating, I will not only immediately release your daughter but also guarantee that we won't harm you or your family from now on."

  Liang Tao picked up the fruit knife on the table, under the terrified gaze of Zhong Qing and Han Ya Qian, and fiercely chopped the half apple on the table into pieces: "Otherwise, we might as well die together. Anyway, it's all death, my brother won't have a good life, and Mayor Han, you can't expect peace either!"
