C50 Can't Help
050
After eating his fill, Tang Lingqiu wrote down two phone numbers on the note paper and handed it to Ye Zi. "I will be going back to B City in two days, so my time here won't be stable. If you can't find me, you can look for Zhang Rui and my cousin.
He looked up and thanked Tang Lingqiu. Speaking of the matter, he really did have a request from Big Brother Tang, so he bluntly brought it up. He wanted to find some herbs seeds to grow in the space, so that he could grow them himself. The quality was definitely better than the ones he bought outside. It was also because Big Brother Tang said that he would involve in this aspect of the business that he asked for his help.
Tang Lingqiu had some knowledge about the basic herbs. After Ye Zi wrote down the list, he looked at it and found that it wasn't the kind of unconventional herbs. As long as he greeted Zhang Rui, they could be delivered to Ye Zi in a few days. He thought about it for a while, then decided to make an appointment with Ye Zi this weekend. He would send someone to the duty room at the school gate, so Ye Zichen could pick them up there.
Tang Lingqiu didn't ask Ye Zi what he was going to do with the herbs seeds. Tang Lingqiu didn't ask Liu Tie why he was looking for the herbs seeds, and taking Leaves as his brother's protection wasn't something that he was going to ask about. Before he left, he reminded Tang Lingqiu, "Just tell me or Zhang Rui and you can think of a way to get more herbs seeds." He was afraid that the child would be too polite to speak.
Ye Zi grinned, "Alright, I won't be polite in the future." There were quite a few places that he needed medicinal herbs for, and in the past few days, he had been free to browse through other miscellaneous books. He had discovered quite a few things that he could use at his current stage.
Tang Lingqiu patted his head before sending him off. After seeing him through the school gate, he let Zhao Jun drive.
After all this commotion, his company had a lot of things to do, and they had to make a trip back to B City. They needed to report to their families, show their faces to the school, and hire the people from the lab.
At the end of the week, Ye Zi was able to get a large bag of herbs seeds in the duty room. The variety and quantity of the seeds far exceeded his needs.
He found some jade materials that were not worth much. It seemed that after Deputy County Magistrate Xie escaped from the bad luck, everything around him went smoothly, and the transfer procedures for the houses in the western suburbs had already been completed. Ye Zi had paid the remaining money.
Pan Jingwen showed up in class on Thursday. She was dressed differently from before, and her face was paler than before as well. In the past, there were many people who surrounded her in her class, but now that they had confirmed that her family had left her, she did not take the initiative to approach others. Instead, she showed a kind of toughness that made people feel that she could barely support herself, as if one poke was enough to make people feel sorry for her.
In the end, however, she was no longer as popular as she was before. There were still a few girls who seemed to have obtained some insider information from who knew where and displayed a clear attitude of disgust towards her.
Ever since Ye Zi started cultivating, he had a keen sense of hearing and vision. Sometimes, he could vaguely hear what they were talking about even before he got close. It turned out that Pan Jingwen's father had been exposed as to how terrible the nature of playing with young girls was, so they felt that Pan Jingwen's current posturing was extremely hypocritical and shameless.
With such a father, how could girls of the same age approach him so easily? Just thinking about it was enough to make them feel disgusted. Even their parents warned them to avoid contact with this classmate of theirs.
Ye Zi also didn't expect Director Pan to be like this in private, so he was shocked. Thinking about the attitude Pan Jingwen and her mother usually showed, the strong but weak appearance that Pan Jingwen had intentionally displayed, made him feel uncomfortable.
But in the end, it had nothing to do with him. Those who were displeased would stay far away, so he was not interested in publicizing what he had heard.
He only paid attention to the old class' attitude. Sure enough, she did not have the same preference towards Pan Jingwen as before, even saying some harsh words in class on Friday. This was something he had never done before.
"Ye-zi, did you hear? Pan Jingwen's mother was also removed from her position." Ye Zichen took the bag of seeds back to the dorm, while Lin Fei just walked around the dorm.
Ye Zi opened his mouth and closed it again after a while. Ye Zi thought that Pan Jingwen's mother only managed to get that position due to her father's authority. Although the case was not settled yet, it definitely wouldn't go back to how it was in the past. How could she maintain such an oily position?
Lin Fei smacked his lips and no longer had the mood to gloat. These two days, the news in the newspaper was also very lively, but the people around him were a little dishonest. Honestly speaking, Lin Fei felt sorry for Pan Jingwen.
"Forget it, this isn't something that we can handle. I'll go home with you." Lin Fei quickly packed his luggage, a big bag of clothes, sheets and the like, and brought it back to his mom for her to help him wash.
They greeted people they knew along the way and arrived at the school gates while chatting and laughing. The two of them planned to get a tricycle to take them to the train station. Ye Zi was looking for the tricycle outside the door and was about to wave to him when Lin Fei pulled him. Ye Zi turned around and acted like he didn't understand.
Lin Fei pointed to Ye Zi and looked to his side, saying, "It's Pan Jingwen, she won't come for you, right? What does she want to do?"
Ye Zi turned around and was surprised to see Pan Jingwen walking towards him. He didn't understand what she meant. He hadn't taken a good look at the students before, but now that he was in front of them, he realized that they seemed to have lost a lot of weight in just a few days.
Pan Jingwen scratched her shoulder straps with her fingers, "Ye Zi, can I talk to you alone for a while?"
Lin Fei continued, "I'll go get a car. Ye Zi, you should cut to the chase."
Ye Zi nodded and waited for Lin Fei to run away before he asked, "What do you want?" A thought vaguely appeared in his heart.
Lili looked up, embarrassed, but Ye Zi wasn't looking at her. "Ye Zi," he said, "are you familiar with Deputy County Magistrate Xie and Mr Tang? "Could you please say a few words for my dad? My dad was implicated, and I know that's a bit excessive, but even if I ask you Ye Zi to help me tie things up and let me meet that Mr Tang, it's fine."
After she finished speaking, Pan Jingwen stared closely at Ye Zi's expression. If she wasn't asking for help, how could she have humbly begged those people that she didn't like in the past to analyze and analyze, but this time, the most shocking thing was Deputy County Magistrate Xie. Nobody expected him to be so powerful, even Mr Tang's background wasn't something she dared to imagine.
As he expected, Pan Jingwen's purpose of looking for him was to use him to connect Big Brother Tang and Deputy County Magistrate Xie. If it was not because Big Brother Tang had driven over to pick him up and knew that he was connected to Big Brother Tang, then if he took another step forward, Pan Jingwen might have thrown him into an unknown corner after she had used him to connect with Big Brother Tang.
Humans are cold and warm, that's what it is.
However, he didn't have that much sympathy, and Pan Jingwen treated him as a fool to play around with. What was there to be worried about? If her father really didn't do those things and didn't get involved in the plot against Deputy County Magistrate Xie, how would a person like Deputy County Magistrate Xie not be able to get along with the Pan Family. Dean Pan probably hadn't told his daughter the truth about what he had done. Otherwise, how could he let his daughter plead with the people they had planned to harm?
"It's not that I don't want to help, it's just that I don't have that much power. Mr Tang left Anxi two days ago, I wonder if he will come back." So it's useless for you to come to me.
Pan Jingwen suddenly became anxious: "Then what about Deputy County Magistrate Xie?"
Ye Zi finally looked up at Pan Jingwen and smiled faintly: "It's my honor to know Mr Tang. How would a student from the village have the opportunity to meet Deputy County Magistrate Xie? If it wasn't for Pan, I wouldn't even know the relationship between Mr Tang and Deputy County Magistrate Xie. I'm sorry, I'm unable to help. "However, I believe that if student Pan's father is truly implicated, he will be able to restore his innocence very soon."
Pan Jingwen's eyes were red. It was unknown if it was due to anxiety or anger, but the fingernails that she had grabbed onto the strap on her back dug deep into her flesh. In her opinion, Ye Zi's extremely faint smile and his final words were clearly mocking her for saying that the Phoenix that landed on the ground was inferior to a chicken.
Lin Fei found a car and asked Ye Zi to sit on it. "Why is she looking for you?"
Ye Zi looked at Pan Jingwen's back as she walked away and smiled, "She's in a hurry, she wants to use me to deal with Big Brother Tang and Deputy County Magistrate Xie. How can I have that much power? Besides, how can a student like me meddle in this?"
Lin Fei's eyes bulged out. "To think that I was sympathetic to her before. How could she say that out loud? Don't say it out loud." What did Big Brother Tang think of Leaves when Ye Zi really said that her relationship with Big Brother Tang was about to disappear? Lin Fei finally warned Ye Zi again, not to be taken advantage of by Pan Jingwen.
Ye Zi laughed and said, "Didn't I say that I can't meddle in this kind of thing? I won't overestimate myself." Besides, there was also information that Lin Fei did not know. No matter what, he would not say such a thing.
"Yes, yes." Lin Fei nodded.
Pan Jingwen's world had undergone a tremendous change in just one weekend. Previously, she had not fawned over Pan Jingwen but had instead welcomed her with a smile instead. Now that she saw Pan Jingwen, she couldn't help but run away like a bug.
When her father was captured, her mother was like Lei Pi. After making a few calls, she couldn't even hold onto her phone properly. She trembled as she said to her, "Wenwen, your father, she …" Something happened … "He was arrested together with the county governor …"
At first, she thought her mother was joking. How could this be possible! But as the investigation team entered the compound, she had to accept the reality.
She and her mother had tried to get in touch with people outside and run through the list of phone books, but most of them had just hung up when they heard who they were, and then couldn't even get through. Mom had been out running all day and her feet were swollen, but her face was getting more and more gray and her temper was getting worse and worse. The nanny had quit her job and could not even get a hot meal when she went back in the evening.
