Chapter 86: The Situation Has Changed

Du Xiaobei supported Han Yuting back home, while Wang Jian and Xie Lianbing returned to Xianhe Township together. It was the first time Xie Lianbing had entered Wang Jian's dormitory in the township, and she felt a surge of excitement, thinking that she might soon become the township chief's wife. How could she not feel incredibly excited and thrilled?

"Xie Lianbing, our relationship is now public. No matter what, we can finally walk together openly without worrying about others gossiping!" Wang Jian said, patting Xie Lianbing's shoulder.

Xie Lianbing looked up at Wang Jian with deep emotion and said, "Wang Jian, I never thought happiness would come so quickly!"

"Haha, I feel it's a bit late!" Wang Jian laughed heartily.

Xie Lianbing couldn't help but fall into Wang Jian's arms. Wang Jian felt her trembling body and said, "My work is getting busier. If I sometimes neglect you, please don't take it to heart. I hope you can understand me on this point!"

"I know. As the wife of a township chief, there will always be some sacrifices!" Xie Lianbing smiled.

"Haha, you're absolutely right!" Wang Jian laughed again.

The two stayed together for a while, and then Xie Lianbing said, "I need to go back!"

"Don't you want to stay here?" Wang Jian smiled.

Xie Lianbing blushed and said, "Give me a process to accept this happiness!"

"Hehe, no problem, I was just joking!" Wang Jian smiled at Xie Lianbing.

Xie Lianbing smiled and walked out, with Wang Jian following her to the township education committee's dormitory.

A few days later, Hao Li finally completed the road survey. Wang Jian bid her farewell in the township and told her to contact Hu Zuoyun after reporting back. Fang Shuzeng accompanied Hao Li and they drank a lot of alcohol. After drinking, Hao Li returned to the provincial capital.

After returning, Ye Fengling went for a DNA test, feeling very anxious. This test might help her find her long-lost sister, but it could also be a false hope. She and Xie Lianbing might just be coincidentally similar, with no blood relation.

A few days later, the test results finally came out. Looking at the report, Ye Fengling was moved to tears. Her genes had a 99.99999999% similarity to Xie Lianbing's, indicating that they were indeed related!

Ye Fengling quickly informed her grandfather Ye Dingxian and her parents Ye Mingjun and Gu Zhongyun. Ye Dingxian was moved to tears, never expecting to see his long-lost granddaughter in his old age. Ye Mingjun, who was the director of the Cadre Bureau of the Organization Department of the Central Committee, was also extremely excited. Although he had long given up hope of finding his daughter, the news still overwhelmed him with emotion.

Gu Zhongyun couldn't help but cry out, insisting on seeing her long-lost daughter immediately. However, Ye Fengling expressed her concerns, saying, "Sister has always lived in the countryside, alone and destitute. If we suddenly recognize her, I'm afraid she won't be able to handle it. She already has a boyfriend, so I think it's better to gradually let her accept this fact through her boyfriend. This way, everything will go smoothly without any problems!"

"You mean your sister already has a boyfriend?" Gu Zhongyun asked with concern.

"Yes, her boyfriend is quite capable. He's the township chief, and he's very young!" Ye Fengling replied.

Ye Mingjun also became interested and asked, "You mean your sister's boyfriend is a township chief? How old is he? Is he a good match for your sister? We can't just let anyone marry into our family!"

"About the same age as my sister, he looks very handsome. His family is average, but his young age and position as township chief show that he is very capable. I found my sister through him!" Ye Fengling answered.

Gu Zhongyun asked, "Lingling, how did you meet your sister's boyfriend?"

Ye Fengling explained the whole story to Ye Mingjun and Gu Zhongyun. They both felt it was a remarkable coincidence, and if not for that fight, they might never have found their long-lost daughter.

"Your sister's boyfriend seems to be very capable, both in his work and with a sense of justice. It seems your sister has good taste. But won't there be any danger because of the conflict with Gong Changqiu's son?" Ye Mingjun expressed his concern.

"I've arranged it through Uncle Zhai. He won't dare to act rashly!" Ye Fengling said.

Ye Mingjun nodded and said, "Good, I'll report this to the main leaders of the department at the appropriate time. The behavior of allowing one's son to commit violence is very serious. Such a thing has never happened in our red family. A provincial political and legal affairs secretary actually did this. Lingling, do as you said. First, contact your sister's boyfriend and have him appropriately work with your sister. We'll recognize her later."

"Okay, Dad!" Ye Fengling agreed.

After releasing Wang Jian, Gong Changqiu did not let the matter rest. Knowing that Wang Jian was just a small township chief, he had other ideas. Although Guo Yongchen had ordered Wang Jian's release, Gong Changqiu could still use other means to give Wang Jian a taste of his power.

As a member of the provincial party committee, Gong Changqiu had considerable influence in the province and had some connections with Jiang Ming, the party secretary of Simeng City, and Duan Huaimin, the mayor. He called Jiang Ming and informed him about Wang Jian's fight in the provincial capital and his administrative detention.

After hearing Gong Changqiu's words, Jiang Ming sensed that Gong Changqiu wanted him to deal with this young man named Wang Jian. Wang Jian had already left a good impression on him, knowing that he was praised by Guo Yongchen. Now, Gong Changqiu wanted him to handle Wang Jian, clearly trying to use him to get rid of Wang Jian. After some thought, Jiang Ming decided to be cautious. He then called Ren Pingyi and told him about Gong Changqiu's opinion, advising him to consider the matter carefully and avoid punishing Wang Jian, but also not to overly promote him to avoid any complaints from Gong Changqiu.

Ren Pingyi did not expect that Wang Jian's trip to the provincial capital not only secured a project but also led to a conflict with Gong Changqiu. This made him feel that it was right not to directly appoint Wang Jian as the township chief at the time. If Wang Jian had been appointed as the party secretary, it would have been difficult to handle. Punishing him would be risky, and not punishing him would upset Gong Changqiu. Now, there was some room for maneuver. He could show goodwill to Gong Changqiu without causing any negative feelings in Wang Jian. This was why he decided to send Ning Xingong as the party secretary and let Wang Jian continue as the township chief.

However, this decision still needed Liu Qingshan's approval. Without Liu Qingshan's consent, it would be difficult to implement. Originally, Liu Qingshan had opposed the idea, but with Gong Changqiu's involvement, he dared not refuse.

Ren Pingyi called Liu Qingshan and asked him to come to the county committee to discuss the matter. Liu Qingshan drove to the county committee building and walked in with a light step.

Entering Ren Pingyi's office, Liu Qingshan sat down with a hearty laugh, putting pressure on Ren Pingyi. Exerting pressure before discussing the matter was a common tactic.

Ren Pingyi remained calm and said, "Old Liu, the leadership of Xianhe Township must be complete. Although Wang Jian is capable, he is still young. I suggest we send Ning Xingong to be the party secretary. What do you think?"

Ren Pingyi brought up the old topic, and Liu Qingshan felt very uncomfortable. He said, "I think He Jiayong, the township chief of Daxing Township, would be a better choice as the party secretary!"

Liu Qingshan was unhappy and deliberately suggested one of his people. He had heard that Wang Jian was engaged to a female teacher and had not pursued Zhao Bingzhi's niece, so he no longer felt the need to strongly support Wang Jian. Instead, he wanted to promote one of his trusted subordinates.

Ren Pingyi's face turned sour. Liu Qingshan always opposed him, showing no respect. After some thought, he said, "To be honest, Old Liu, the provincial party secretary, Gong Changqiu, is also paying attention to the leadership of Xianhe Township. Secretary Jiang Ming specifically instructed me to handle it carefully. If we don't reach a consensus, we will both be held responsible!"

"Which provincial party secretary?" Liu Qingshan asked.

"Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Secretary Gong Changqiu," Ren Pingyi replied.

Liu Qingshan was surprised that provincial leaders were involved in the leadership adjustment of Xianhe Township. He wasn't sure if Ren Pingyi was telling the truth, but it didn't seem like a lie. Could Ning Xingong have reached out to the provincial level to become the party secretary?

"Old Ren, why would provincial leaders care about the personnel adjustment of a small township? It's quite strange!" Liu Qingshan said.

Reluctantly, Ren Pingyi explained the situation with Wang Jian. Liu Qingshan then said, "Why don't we transfer Wang Jian and appoint a new party secretary and township chief?"

Ren Pingyi replied, "I wish I could, but don't underestimate Wang Jian. Secretary Jiang Ming's caution has its reasons. If we transfer Wang Jian rashly, who knows what might happen. Now, we are just sending a new party secretary without removing his position as township chief. I think he won't have any complaints, as he is currently just in charge of the work."

Liu Qingshan understood Ren Pingyi's intentions. It seemed that the leadership of Xianhe Township must be adjusted. If the adjustment was delayed due to their conflict, it would be bad. However, he couldn't let Ning Xingong become the party secretary without any conditions.

"Let's do this, Old Ren. How about sending He Jiayong to Qingyun Town as the party secretary? The old Liu in Qingyun Town has been there for a long time and should be transferred!" Liu Qingshan decided to make a trade.

Qingyun Town was a good position, and Liu Qingshan's appetite was quite large. However, he couldn't fully control the standing committee, so he had to compromise with Ren Pingyi. "Alright, Old Liu, let's decide this way!"

Seeing Ren Pingyi agree readily, Liu Qingshan smiled. By transferring He Jiayong, a new township chief position would be available, allowing him to promote Han Yuting to the position. This would be a significant advantage, and he believed he now had the majority of votes in the standing committee.
