I am doing well in the Siheyuan

But even if they support it, they will never tolerate Ye Ming and Zhou Xiaobai being too intimate before marriage. If Zhou Xiaobai's parents knew that she stayed overnight at Ye Ming's place, they would definitely teach her a lesson and their opinion of Ye Ming would be greatly reduced.

Of course Zhou Xiaobai didn't want to see such a situation happen.

Ye Ming was smart, and he understood Zhou Xiaobai's worries as soon as he heard her words. In this era, the social atmosphere was not as open as it was in the new millennium, and people were still quite conservative about gender relations.

What many parents cannot accept most is that their children have sex with each other before marriage. Zhou Xiaobai's parents are no exception. Although they are more tolerant of their children's love, they will never allow their children to have overly intimate behavior before marriage.

Understanding Zhou Xiaobai's concerns, Ye Ming immediately replied: "Okay, I'll take you back."

Zhou Xiaobai had just given herself to Ye Ming last night, so how could Ye Ming bear to let her ride her bike home alone? Hearing Ye Ming's proposal, Zhou Xiaobai nodded gently and said gently, "Okay."

So, Ye Ming rode his bicycle with Zhou Xiaobai and drove towards Zhou Xiaobai's home. When passing by the department store, Ye Ming bought a lot of fruits and supplements to replenish Zhou Xiaobai's energy. Zhou Xiaobai gladly accepted Ye Ming's kindness.

After sending Zhou Xiaobai home safely, Ye Ming rode his bike back to the compound where Old Lady Long lived. After returning to Long Shuhua's residence, Ye Ming did not go out for a whole day, but stayed at home to chat and take walks with Old Lady Long.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, Ye Ming accompanied Long Shuhua to have dinner. He picked up a book and started reading. Just as he was fascinated by it, he heard a "creak" and the door of Mrs. Long's room was opened.

Second uncle Liu Haizhong walked into Long Shuhua's room. He first greeted Old Lady Long who was listening to Peking Opera on the bed, and then came to Ye Ming. Stopping, Liu Haizhong looked at Ye Ming and said with a smile: "Chief Qin, you are really our role model. You don't forget to study even during your rest time."

After hearing what Liu Haizhong said, Ye Ming closed the book in his hand, and a trace of doubt flashed in his bright eyes. At this time, Ye Ming really couldn't figure out Liu Haizhong's intention.

Ye Ming's confusion was not groundless. He and Liu Haizhong did not have much interaction, and usually only talked to each other for a few words during the whole school meeting.

On weekdays, when they meet, they just say hello and nothing else.

The number of times Liu Haizhong visited Old Lady Long could be counted on one hand, and it was extremely rare.

And today, Liu Haizhong took the initiative to come to his house and started flattering him right from the start. How could Ye Ming not feel confused?

With doubts, Ye Ming couldn't help but ask:

"Second uncle, do you have something to ask me?"

Ye Ming is always straightforward when talking to people he is not familiar with.

Hearing Ye Ming's words, Liu Haizhong quickly complimented:

"Chief Qin, you have a very good insight. You can tell at a glance that I have something to ask you."

Looking at Liu Haizhong's flattering look, Ye Ming couldn't help but roll his eyes helplessly.

If it was someone else flattering him, Ye Ming might be happy, but he really couldn't stand it when someone of Liu Haizhong's age flattered him.

So Ye Ming waved his hand and said helplessly:

"Second uncle, just tell me what you want to say."

"Don't try this. We're all in the same compound. There's really no need."

When Liu Haizhong heard this, he smiled awkwardly.

Although he is not good at flattering, it does not mean that Liu Haizhong is stupid. He can still understand what Ye Ming means.

Ye Ming's meaning was very clear, which was to let Liu Haizhong speak directly about the matter without having to flatter him.

Seeing that Ye Ming didn't like to flatter, Liu Haizhong immediately put away those polite words and said directly:

"Chief Qin, it's like this. The position of security captain at our steel mill has been vacant recently."

"I heard that the factory will decide on the security captain in the next few days."

"Can you put in a few good words for me at the factory selection meeting?"

When Ye Ming heard Liu Haizhong's request, a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.

Only then did he understand the purpose of Liu Haizhong's visit to him. It turned out that he wanted him to speak well of him at the meeting to decide the security team leader in the factory.

"No wonder Liu Haizhong tried so hard to flatter me as soon as he came in. It turns out he has something to ask of me."

Ye Ming thought silently in his heart.

Then, Ye Ming collected his thoughts and asked doubtfully:

"Second uncle, you are working well in the workshop, why do you suddenly want to run for the captain of the security team?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong replied:

"Chief Qin, I want to contribute more to the steel mill, so I decided to run for the captain of the security team."

Hearing this, Ye Ming's mouth twitched slightly, and a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes:

"Second Uncle, do you think I'm a three-year-old kid? Do you believe this excuse?"

It is not surprising that Ye Ming complained about Liu Haizhong like this, because the reasons Liu Hai gave him were indeed too perfunctory.

"I want to contribute more to the steel mill." Such polite remarks in the workplace may be able to fool newcomers, but in front of an old hand like Ye Ming, such remarks are the least credible.

Hearing Ye Ming's words, Liu Haizhong couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and replied with a smile: "Chief Qin really has a keen eye, nothing can be hidden from you."

"Then I'll tell you the truth. The reason I want to run for captain of the steel mill security team is all because of my son Liu Guangtian."

Ye Ming was surprised when he heard this and asked, "You want to become the captain of the security team. What does this have to do with your son Liu Guangtian?"

When Liu Haizhong heard this, he started telling the story without hesitation.

Five minutes later, after listening to Liu Haizhong's narration, Ye Ming finally understood the whole story.

It all started half a month ago when Liu Guangtian was promoted from an ordinary worker in the workshop to the deputy leader of the production team 1. Since the promotion, Liu Guangtian would show off to Liu Haizhong whenever he had time, whether eating or resting.

You can let Liu Guangtian show off if he wants, but after showing off he has to teach Liu Haizhong a lesson.

Before Liu Guangtian got promoted, Liu Haizhong had always educated his son. But now, his son Liu Guangtian was lecturing his father Liu Haizhong, how could Liu Haizhong tolerate this?

Therefore, Liu Haizhong decided to run for the captain of the security team. In terms of position, the captain of the security team is much higher than Liu Guangtian's deputy captain.

Once Liu Haizhong becomes the captain, he will be able to restore his authority at home, and Liu Guangtian will not dare to teach him a lesson anymore and can only listen to his father's teachings obediently.

So, in order to regain the prestige of his family, Liu Haizhong started to think.

After careful consideration, Liu Haizhong believed that if he wanted to succeed in the election, he must get Ye Ming's support.

Although Ye Ming is currently only the propaganda section chief of the steel rolling mill, and there is a big gap between him and senior executives like the factory director Chen Guangyuan, Ye Ming has strong working ability and a mysterious background. Who in the factory dares not give Ye Ming face?

Even the factory director Chen Guangyuan and the deputy director Li were always polite when talking to Ye Ming, without any airs of a leader at all.
