Invincible Young Master in the City
Chapter 636 - 636 632 No Meeting Without Fate

636: Chapter 632: No Meeting Without Fate 636: Chapter 632: No Meeting Without Fate Shangguan Wuqiu composed herself and said to Cui Wenwen, “This was intended for Ye Fan, but he insists on not accepting it.”

Cui Wenwen uttered an “Oh” in response.

Then, she lectured Cui Wenwen, “Wenwen, Ye Fan has done you a favor, and you should think of a way to repay him.

You can’t let Ye Fan spend money on you anymore, understand?”

“Oh.

I understand.” Cui Wenwen replied somewhat disheartenedly, lowering her head.

At that moment, Shangguan Wuqiu placed the three thousand yuan in Cui Wenwen’s hand and said, “Take this three thousand as your pocket money.”

Holding the thick stack of bills in her hand, Cui Wenwen was at first overjoyed, but then she immediately handed the money back to her mother.

“Mom, don’t worry, I won’t take anything from my cousin anymore.” Cui Wenwen said sensibly.

Three thousand yuan might not mean much to many people, but to her family, it was nearly three months’ living expenses.

Now to have it all at once for her to use as pocket money, how could she dare to accept it?

Shangguan Wuqiu smiled affectionately and stuffed the money back into Cui Wenwen’s hand, speaking softly, “Keep it.

Didn’t mom recently receive a considerable sum in royalties?

Besides the expenses for transferring you to Mingde High School, there’s still four to five hundred thousand left.

With this money, even if mom doesn’t earn anymore, it will be enough to support you through college.

Besides, mom will earn more royalties in the future.

So, our family’s days will only get better from here on.”

“Really?” After hearing this, Cui Wenwen asked in disbelief, her face lit up with surprise.

Shangguan Wuqiu nodded firmly and affirmed, “Of course it’s true.”

“Yay!” Cui Wenwen jumped up excitedly, hopping around a few times, then turned and hugged Shangguan Wuqiu, exclaiming, “Mom, you’re amazing!”

Shangguan Wuqiu revealed a smile, but deep down she sighed.

…

New Year’s Day passed quickly, and on the fifth day after New Year’s Day, Ye Fan was officially entrusted by the City Organization Department as the principal political commissar of Mingde County Police Bureau, essentially the well-known Deputy Director, the second-in-command of the police bureau.

As the word spread, everyone in the police bureau thought they had misheard, speculating if it was a rumor gone wrong.

Zhang Jiangzhen, among the other three deputy directors, and Fan Feipeng, couldn’t care less about the negative impression it might make, and went straight to question Tang Xianlong.

When they received confirmation, they were so furious they practically jumped up on their feet.

“Why?

Ye Fan has only been here for a little over a month, he’s not even familiar with his own job, so how can he become the political commissar, the second-in-command?” Fan Feipeng asked angrily and agitatedly.

He had bad relations with Ye Fan, and even if he himself couldn’t become the political commissar or director, he absolutely didn’t want to see Ye Fan rise in rank.

Otherwise, his life would become very difficult.

Tang Xianlong’s face darkened, his cold eyes glaring at Fan Feipeng.

Upon meeting Tang Xianlong’s glare, Fan Feipeng instinctively shrank, feeling a chill down his spine under years of built authority, and only then did he realize that he had dared to question Tang Xianlong.

“Director Tang, I…

I’m sorry…” He hastily tried to explain.

Tang Xianlong scoffed coldly, replying indifferently, “How many merits did Ye Fan establish in less than a month after arriving at the bureau?

Even that serial murder case, if it weren’t for Ye Fan quickly identifying the real culprit, you would have messed up the case, and if investigated, it would have been enough reason to strip you of your position!

Moreover, the appointment came from the City Organization Department, and if you have objections, go question them!

Now go back and work earnestly, always thinking about promotion and wealth, do you still have the mind to serve the people?!”

“Yes, yes…” Fan Feipeng exited the director’s office sweating profusely and in a sorry state.

Ten days later, the appointment of the new director finally arrived.

It was then that Zhang Jiangzhen, the other three deputy directors, and Fan Feipeng realized they had been completely preoccupied for nothing.

Tang Xianlong had been transferred to the city bureau to make room for the new director.

If they had had a chance, it would have been the position of political commissar of the county police bureau, but unfortunately, they had fixed their sights on the director’s chair and hadn’t put in enough effort to compete for the commissar position.

At three o’clock on Monday afternoon, the new director assumed office, and Tang Xianlong called a meeting with the police bureau’s main leaders to welcome the new director’s arrival.

Tang Xianlong had not yet been transferred to the city, working as a deputy director in the city bureau without much real power, and neither the City Organization Department nor the City Police Bureau was in a hurry for him to start, so they delayed the handover to the new director by a week.

Zhang Jiangzhen and others whispered among themselves, discussing who the new director might be.

Ye Fan was also a bit curious; he already knew that the new director, like himself, was parachuted in, which really meant he now had a companion.

After about five or six minutes, two sets of footsteps could be heard outside the meeting room.

One was ordinary, the other was the “click-clack” of high heels striking the floor rhythmically, very distinctive.

“A woman?” Zhang Jiangzhen couldn’t help but ask.

The next moment, the first to enter the doorway was Tang Xianlong, followed by a tall, slender figure with an impressive figure dressed in a police uniform.

Everyone’s gaze was initially drawn to the exaggerated bulge of her chest, and then fixated on the stunning yet icy face.

Gurgle—

A faint gulping sound arose as everyone gaped, mesmerized.

Ye Fan was also staring, not because of the new female director’s exceptional beauty, but because of the new female director herself.

“Lina?” Ye Fan stared at Zhao Lina, a surprised cry echoing inside him, “How did she come to Mingde County?”

Zhao Lina followed Tang Xianlong into the meeting room, not in a hurry to look at the subordinates she would be working with, but walked straight in and sat down at the conference table before scanning all those present.

However, the moment she looked at the others, her eyes first met Ye Fan sitting in the position of Deputy Director, and her whole body was shocked, leaving her stunned.

“Why is he here?

Why would he be here?” A tumultuous wave surged within her heart.

She had left Hua Hai to forget Ye Fan and start a new life, but Destiny made her reunite with Ye Fan.

Thinking of Ye Fan’s ruthlessness and deceit, a boundless hatred rose up in her.

As she snapped out of her shock, her gaze instantly turned as cold as ancient ice.

Ye Fan managed a strained smile at Zhao Lina, but her eyes swept over icily cold, ignoring Ye Fan’s smile and continued to look at the others.
