Chapter 127: Chapter 127: Huang Yu’s Thoughts

By the time Ji Yang got home, it was already very late.

He still took out his laptop, planning to write some words.

Although he had been busy with work recently, Ji Yang insisted on writing daily.

As soon as he opened his laptop, he discovered that his author’s backend had reached twenty thousand favorites.

Not bad!

This week marked the start of recommendations, and with increased exposure, many people had seen his book. Ji Yang didn’t know the specifics, but after two rounds of recommendations, he now had twenty thousand favorites. Although he wasn’t sure how many were needed for it to be considered a success, the current situation looked quite promising.

With such results, Ji Yang naturally felt a surge of confidence and quickly started typing.

While he was rapidly hitting the keys, Ji Yang heard the doorbell.

Ji Yang saw that it was Huang Yu standing at the front door.

When he quickly opened the door, Huang Yu swiftly dashed inside.

"It’s late, and you’re still not asleep?"

"I can’t easily contact you during the day, so it had to be now."

When the two entered the room, Ji Yang poured a glass of water for him.

"What are you doing?"

Glancing at the computer, Huang Yu asked.

"Nothing much, just organizing some materials." Ji Yang had saved his file and closed the writing application, not wanting to let others know about his writing.

Huang Yu did not pursue the topic further but looked at Ji Yang and said, "What’s the attitude above regarding He Chengjun and his issues?"

It was prying for information!

Huang Yu was ambitious; this time, he was aiming to take Yan Xingshun’s position.

Ji Yang glanced at him and said, "Your plan might be difficult to achieve."

As expected, Huang Yu’s expression changed slightly, and he asked, "What kind of news have you heard?"

Ji Yang relayed all the analysis Chu Shuyuan had shared.

Huang Yu gave a bitter smile and said, "After all is said and done, the key issue is the lack of a strong backing!"

Ji Yang knew it wasn’t good for him to say much in this case.

"What do you think I should do?"

"If you stay here, you probably will remain a vice-secretary. However, from what I’ve learned, several families’ scions are coming here, and even the vice-secretary position isn’t guaranteed. The most likely scenario from the county is that you’ll be transferred elsewhere."

"What about you?"

Huang Yu looked at Ji Yang.

"I also don’t know the situation yet, but I might be transferred to another township, as the higher-ups intend to clear out our current positions."

"I wish I knew it would be like this; I wouldn’t have bothered!"

"This investigation you were involved in was pretty thorough, right? You really don’t have any problems?" Ji Yang still reminded him.

"It’s unrelated to me; I just casually mentioned a few things, and I never expected Gui Ping to take them seriously—he wanted to be the town leader."

Well, it looks like Gui Ping was now in a bind.

Huang Yu then asked, "From your perspective, will real estate here really boom?"

Ji Yang smiled and said, "It’s obvious, just a matter of how much it will increase. You’ve invested a lot of money, and you’ll earn quite a bit this time."

"You earn more than me. You invested eight hundred thousand, and even a ten percent increase is substantial, not to mention it will likely be more than that."

Ji Yang said, "Many are envious. I’m thinking of pulling out, not competing with the locals."

"Are you foolish? With money, even if you don’t hold this position, it’s still good. Money brings freedom to do what you want. It’s a pity I didn’t invest more."

Ji Yang said, "Having money but no career still makes life unsatisfying. I’m considering working for a few more years."

Huang Yu harbored the same thoughts. However, thinking about all the efforts he had made only to end up like this left him feeling quite gloomy.

"Do you think I should go to the township or to a department in the county?" Huang Yu asked.

"What do you think?"

Huang Yu gave a bitter smile and said, "I see the reality now. Without backing, there’s no way to climb up in the official arena, and it’s too risky. One careless moment and you’ll be schemed against."

Ji Yang laughed, saying, "You’re not so bad yourself, aren’t you always scheming others quite effectively?"

Huang Yu also laughed and said, "Today, I scheme others; tomorrow, I might be schemed against. I’m really counting on your rise. If you climb up, I’ll have my chance. You have to try harder."

Ji Yang said, "One must tread carefully on the path to officialdom!"

"I’m somewhat scared now. Next, I plan to wait for your rise in a department at the county. Only if you rise can I have a chance. You can’t ignore me then."

Reaching that point, Huang Yu looked at Ji Yang and said, "No, we still lack communication. You need to communicate well with me." With these words, he directly sat on Ji Yang’s lap.

Ji Yang had already been tempted by Chu Shuyuan, feeling a persistent desire, which was quite suffocating. Now with Huang Yu’s actions, he naturally wouldn’t let this woman go.

The night was still and quiet, and no one was likely to come by. Besides, their residence easily hid someone, and even if someone did enter, they wouldn’t easily notice the person hidden within.

"You’re all sweaty; let me take good care of you and give you a bath."

Huang Yu smiled and said this to Ji Yang.

Ji Yang, of course, knew this woman’s intentions—as she always liked to cause trouble in the bathroom.

For a moment, the two kissed each other as they headed to the bathroom.
