Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

Chapter 878: Everybody Happy New Year’s Eve

There was a tinge of a smile at the corners of Jing Yun’s lips. She had succeeded.

She had accompanied Yang Po for so many years and understood Yang Po’s character very well. He was sly and charismatic and was very well-suited as an official within the system. If it was under the usual circumstances, he would not be so anxious.

However, after Gu Yuanli beat him up and Shen Qianshu made a fool out of him, his reputation plunged. Although he got married recently, he did not hold a banquet. The way the other same-level officials looked at him was not quite right. They whispered amongst themselves.

His situation as an official was not very good. He also knew that there would not be any changes to his official career for the next few years. His family had also given him a warning to exercise restraint and not to go overboard.

When this matter subsided after a few years, he would make plans again. It might take longer than expected for him to enter the center. Now, Yang Po was extremely irritable.

He was easily angered and was not as calm and witty as he usually was. The moment he was incited by Jing Yun, as expected, he started to get furious and wanted to provoke Shen Qianshu. He gave a call to Director Wang immediately.

Director Wang was very surprised to receive a call from Yang Po. However, he was thinking in his heart that Jing Yun was more prideful than what he had imagined. She actually convinced Yang Po to come out personally.

However, even if the Mayor came out personally, Director Wang was also a coward.

“Mayor Yang, it’s not that I’m unwilling to do this favor. You also know the approval department. There are more profits. I don’t wish to lose this position. You can change my position, but I wish to have my life more. Shen Qianshu is not only the CEO of AG; the people behind her have obtained a lot of... information that they shouldn’t know. Mayor Yang, listen to my word of advice. Stop while you can.”

A basin of cold water suddenly splashed onto him. Yang Po was clear-headed at once.

Although Director Wang did not obviously say that he was corrupted, everybody was in the field of fame and wealth. He could already tell the subtext. Shen Qianshu had gotten something on him. He had been so clean, yet he was caught. This would cause him to lose his head. The center had also continuously dismissed a few old-timers recently.

At this time, there should not be any signs of disturbance or trouble. He could not afford to mess with anyone.

Yang Po’s blood had nearly frozen.

Within the system, there were many good officials, but there were even more corrupt officials. They were clearer than anyone else. If they did not make a fast buck in a lucrative position, there would not be any chances in the future.

Especially people like Director Wang who needed money more.

Yang Po broke out in a cold sweat. He was not the only person from the Yang Family to take the path of politics. He was also not the person who had the best progress. The Yang Family was a senior politician’s family. Since young, their training was tough, and corruption was not allowed.

He was promoted all the way and met a lot of temptation. But he was able to resist temptations. It was not that he was not greedy for money but that he would not go to the extent of going to jail and being thoroughly investigated. He belonged to the class of officials who were rare and were not greedy for money.

As the Yang Family was not in need of money, his family would give him money if he needed it. They would not let him take the wrong path. He also knew that once he had taken the wrong path, the one who was finished was not him. It was the Yang Family. Their influence was bound to be affected.

Jing Yun was waiting for Yang Po to show his courage. Upon seeing that he had hung up the phone, she asked uneasily, “Have you settled with Director Wang? We cannot be bullied like that by Shen Qianshu. We have to also let her know we cannot be messed with.”

“Keep quiet!”

Jing Yun’s face changed. Yang Po said, “I know what to do in regards to this matter. Don’t ask too much.”

On the second day, the documents which had been approved and stamped were placed on Chen Wanwan’s table. They did not spend a single cent more, and everything went as planned.

Chen Wanwan was overjoyed. They could finally prepare for the jewelry exhibition.

“Qianshu, how did you do it?”

“Simple. All people will have weak spots.”

“Did you give money to Director Wang? This person’s weakest spot is his greed for money. He is capable. What a pity.”

Shen Qianshu smiled faintly in silence. She did not have to claim credit for it.
