Although Deputy Director Tang was quite excited, he maintained an authoritative yet friendly demeanor.

When the drinks and dishes were served, Wang Siyan said to Deputy Director Tang, “Director Tang, since drunk driving is strictly monitored and we still have work in the afternoon, I didn’t order alcohol.

I hope you understand.”

“Hehe, I understand, I understand,” Deputy Director Tang chuckled.

Once the food was served and they began to eat, Deputy Director Tang proactively offered a toast to Li Zhaojun with tea instead of alcohol.

Li Zhaojun did not refuse and politely responded with a few words, which delighted Deputy Director Tang.

During the meal, Deputy Director Tang also took the initiative to share some new developments and rumors from the Business Bureau, boasting about the extensive information he possessed and his significant power.

Li Zhaojun listened attentively, occasionally asking questions.

Halfway through the meal, Deputy Director Tang had nearly exhausted everything he could talk about.

It was then that Li Zhaojun casually asked, “Director Tang, you called me this morning asking me to fire an employee.

Who did he offend?”

“I’m not quite sure,” Deputy Director Tang responded, “It was a favor for a friend of mine.

However, my friend shouldn’t have any connection with that employee from your company.”

“Oh.” A hint of disappointment appeared on the beautiful face of Li Zhaojun.

Deputy Director Tang immediately picked up on it and said, “How about I give him a call and ask?”

With that, he promptly pulled out his phone and made a call in front of Li Zhaojun.

A few minutes later, Deputy Director Tang ended the call and smiled at Li Zhaojun, saying, “I got the answer.

That employee named Ye Fan has offended the standing Deputy Director of the Organization Department in Banzhou City, Yang Zecheng.”

“The Deputy Director of Banzhou City’s Organization Department, Yang Zecheng?” Li Zhaojun was slightly surprised and asked, “How did he come into conflict with someone from Banzhou City?”

Deputy Director Tang explained, “My friend isn’t too sure either.

It must be a personal grievance.

The standing Deputy Director is a position of real power; if your employee has offended him, I’m afraid he’s going to have a tough time.”

Li Zhaojun remarked, “Director Tang, about firing the employee, I’m sorry, but I can’t just dismiss my staff without a reason.

Of course, making his life difficult enough to lead him to resign is possible.”

“Hehe, no worries, no worries,” Deputy Director Tang waved his hand generously, pretending to be magnanimous.

To him, it was a trivial matter, especially compared to winning an invitation to a dinner hosted by Li Zhaojun.

After the meal, Wang Siyan drove Li Zhaojun back to the Emali Corporation.

On the way, Li Zhaojun pondered how exactly Ye Fan had managed to offend the standing Deputy Director of the Organization Department, Yang Zecheng.

Although she didn’t know Yang Zecheng and couldn’t contact him, she was reluctant to give up this rare opportunity to learn more about Ye Fan.

She had a premonition that through this lead, by knowing Ye Fan’s enemies, she could uncover everything about his closest associates.

Upon returning to the corporate tower, Li Zhaojun entered her office, turned on her computer, and searched for Yang Zecheng’s resume and relevant information.

However, there was scant information available online.

Still, it didn’t take long for Li Zhaojun to discern some clues from Yang Zecheng’s resume.

After further searching, she discovered that Yang Zecheng was from the influential Yang family in Gongban Province and was currently divorced and single.

“Hmm, Ye Fan has managed to get into a conflict with a ‘second-generation official,’ and this one seems quite powerful,” Li Zhaojun mused, “It looks like the conflict is serious and possibly worth digging further into.”

After thinking for a while, she took out her phone, looked up Zhao Tianya’s number, and called.

The call connected quickly.

“Giggle, what’s up, Hua Hai City’s number one beauty calling big sis at this hour?” Zhao Tianya’s flirtatious laughter came through the phone.

Li Zhaojun directly ignored Zhao Tianya’s words and said, “Tianya, you have extensive connections.

I need you to help me find someone’s contact information.”

“Okay.

What’s the person’s name?” Zhao Tianya immediately asked.

Li Zhaojun replied, “The Deputy Director of Banzhou City’s Organization Department, Yang Zecheng.”

“Banzhou City’s?” Tianya inquired, “How did you get involved with an official from Banzhou City?”

“Don’t ask so many questions,” Li Zhaojun said, “Can you get me that person’s private contact or not?”

Zhao Tianya laughed and said, “It shouldn’t be a problem.

But it’s lunchtime now, I can get back to you around three to four in the afternoon.”

“That’s fine, thank you,” said Li Zhaojun.

Zhao Tianya immediately laughed and said, “What’s there to thank me for, with our relationship.”

After that, the two girls chatted leisurely for over ten minutes before ending the call.

Meanwhile, at just past noon, Ye Fan received a call from Dongfang Yunqi.

“Ye Fan, after careful consideration, I think there are mainly three appropriate gifts for your grandfather,” Dongfang Yun began, “a purple sandalwood Buddha bead string or a Hainan huanghuali bead string, either a chicken blood stone seal or a Qingtian stone seal, and finally, a collectible antique firearm.”

“The Hainan huanghuali bead string, besides its value for enjoyment and play, has a traditional Chinese medicine ‘sinking fragrance’ that is spicy, tranquil, and amazingly soothing when inhaled through the nose.

It will benefit the body and keep your grandfather’s mind joyful and peaceful…”

Dongfang Yunqi explained the reasons she had recommended these three items as birthday gifts.

“…As for the antique firearms, did your grandfather serve in the army?” she asked.

“Yes, he definitely fought in wars,” Ye Fan nodded.

“Antique firearms might bring him a pleasant surprise.

Naturally, it could backfire depending on his specific views on the war,” Dongfang Yunqi noted, “You’ll need to handle it carefully.”

Ye Fan smiled and said, “Alright, thank you.

I’ll consider it carefully before deciding.

I might need to trouble you again.”

“Sure,” Dongfang Yunqi smiled.

After a moment of silence, Dongfang Yunqi added, “By the way, there is a charity auction on Saturday evening that might have suitable items for a birthday gift.

You might want to check it out.”

“Sure, I’ll definitely be there tomorrow evening,” Ye Fan replied.

Dongfang Yunqi smiled and said, “Then I’ll have someone send you an invitation tomorrow afternoon.”

Around three in the afternoon, Ye Fan received the invitation from the Yunqi Club.

After receiving the invitation, Ye Fan suddenly remembered that Hu Jing was quite fond of such events, so he called her and said, “Hu, the beautiful Miss, Yunqi Club is hosting a charity auction on Saturday evening followed by a party.

Would you like to attend?”

“Of course I do!” Hu Jing immediately exclaimed excitedly, “Thank you, Ye Fan.”

Ye Fan chuckled and said, “However, I’ll only be responsible for getting you into Yunqi Club.”

“Giggle, got it.

I won’t interfere with your chick-magnet skills,” Hu Jing playfully responded.
