Ye Zhifan, who came back with Secretary Wu, thought the same way too.
He was nervous when he went to the city to learn.
The Director of Munic.i.p.al Administration told him secretly that the position of the town mayor actually didn’t belong to him. For some reason, the day before the letter was sent out, the Munic.i.p.al Committee suddenly appointed him as the town mayor of Fujun Town.
They said that someone asked him to be the town mayor.
After the meeting, the secretary of the Munic.i.p.al Committee specially stayed back and chatted with him. Before he left, he even patted his shoulder and said seriously, “Little Ye, you are still young. You managed to become a town mayor at 35 years old. Do well and you will have a bright future ahead.”
It sounded as though there were some hidden meaning behind his words. Ye Zhifan felt his heart pounding. He remembered the call in the middle of the night a few years ago.
He kept thinking about who was helping him behind his back so he forgot about the fact that Ye Jian won an award.
However, the sudden news yesterday caused his mind to be in a whirl. He hadn’t managed to regain his senses yet.
Ye Jian… she… actually persuaded the famous Mr. Gao to set up an ‘Outstanding Student Scholars.h.i.+p’!
She won an award and helped the town to solve a huge problem… Ye Zhifan rushed back to town with Secretary Wu. He didn’t find Sun Dongqing at home so he asked around and knew that she went to school. His heart skipped a beat. He grabbed his motorcycle and drove quickly to the school.
Unfortunately, he was a step too late.
In front of Secretary Wu and Princ.i.p.al Chen, Sun Dongqing angrily scolded Ye Jian. “… I was really worried. I was so worried, my hair turned white. She didn’t come home at all during the summer vacation. No one knew where she went. I saw her on the streets yesterday but she didn’t greet me. Mrs. Ke, I can’t teach this child anymore.”
Ye Ying’s face turned pale. She looked at her mother as she lectured Ye Jian in front of her cla.s.smates. She was angry and agitated. “Mother, stop it.”
She wanted to pull her mother out but Princ.i.p.al Chen’s sharp gaze caused her to stop in her tracks.
Ye Ying was so frustrated tears started filling up her eyes. Her mother was embarra.s.sing both of them.
Sun Dongqing was not stupid but she had a lethal flaw. She never checked for facts and only focused on her own emotions.
Last time, she still acted cautiously. However, as Ye Zhifan’s position got higher, she started getting unbridled.
Was there anyone more powerful than her husband here? No!
Since there wasn’t, it meant that everyone in town had to listen to her husband. That meant that they must listen to her too!
If she said that Ye Jian was bad, everyone must feel that she was bad too!
“Such a hard child to bring up. Even if I have ten children, it might be easier to bring up than her. My Yingying never made me worried all these years. As for her, my white hairs are coming out because of her. Her parents died early so I was left in charge of her. However, I can’t do it anymore.”
“She left school early, doesn’t go to school, and is in a relations.h.i.+p. I saw her with a young man called Gao Yiyang yesterday on the streets. They were acting intimately. I am not framing her this time. I personally saw them walking together. They were even sharing an ice popsicle together. Mrs. Ke, as a teacher, you must reprimand her!”
