Name: The Holy Son of the Energy Department Enters Handong

"Okay, tell Secretary Sha I'll definitely be there on time tomorrow!"

Gao Yuliang noted down the meeting room for tomorrow and nodded excitedly.

Although Gao Yuliang had his own small circle, this small circle still relied on the larger circle of Handong Province.

Gao Yuliang put down the phone and heard Wu Huifen's voice in his ear.

"Sha Ruijin wants you to go to his office for a three-person meeting!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuliang's face stiffened; he had almost forgotten that this woman was still in the living room.

"Yes!"

"Did they say what it was about?" Wu Huifen continued to ask. She wanted to offer advice to Gao Yuliang so that his position would be secure, and she could enjoy more special treatment as well.

"It's said to be for the development of Handong, but it's just a name."

As for the reason, we'll find out tomorrow!

Gao Yuliang shook his head.

Although he no longer has much affection for his ex-wife Wu Huifen, he still trusts her wisdom and will not refuse her advice.

After all, without Wu Huifen, Liang Qunfeng wouldn't have been able to select him and transfer him from the school to his workplace.

Wu Huifen is a wise person; it would be foolish not to use her wisdom.

"If they're unwilling to state their purpose directly, then there's more to it than meets the eye!" Wu Huifen murmured softly, lost in thought.

Then, out of the blue, someone said, "You think Sha Ruijin is doing this because of Hou Liangping? It seems like this is the only thing that's going on at this critical juncture. It can't be because of the employees of Dafeng Factory, can it?"

If it were really about this, he should have voiced his opinion long ago.

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuliang was slightly taken aback and looked at Wu Huifen with admiration. This woman was even smarter than he had imagined, as she had come up with this idea so quickly.

"It's very possible. People outside are saying that Hou Liangping is my student, Gao Yuliang, but Hou Liangping has only visited me in Handong Province a handful of times!"

She has an ambiguous relationship with Sha Ruijin and is a knife in Sha Ruijin's hand.

Sha Ruijin certainly didn't want this knife to break so quickly.

Hou Liangping was arrested by the provincial department some time ago, and it was on Governor Zhao's orders. There will be a three-person group meeting tomorrow.

I'm just a mascot that Sha Ruijin pulled in to save face!

Gao Yuliang had figured it out and murmured to himself.

His complexion turned extremely bad.

That's why I've figured this out.

So Gao Yuliang felt aggrieved, his expression as if he had swallowed a dead fly.

In Sha Ruijin's eyes, he was just a mascot, not someone worth taking seriously.

How much does Sha Ruijin look down on Gao Yuliang!

"You, Sha Ruijin, clearly stole my position, so why do you look down on me like this?" Gao Yuliang thought angrily to himself.

His dissatisfaction with Sha Ruijin resurfaced.

Since you look down on me so much, then don't force me to fight you. I'm third in the province, why can't I go head-to-head with the number one in the province?

Gao Yuliang was determined to give it a try, even if it meant mutual destruction.

Gao Yuliang's final resistance was undoubtedly due to Sha Ruijin's indifferent attitude towards him.

Even if you're the top leader, you should still show at least some basic respect to your comrades.

Even an honest person will get angry after repeated disrespect and obvious hostility.

"Yuliang, at this time you need to be clear about your attitude. Don't let this matter cause you any dissatisfaction!" Wu Huifen noticed the change in Gao Yuliang's expression and quickly comforted him.

She didn't want Gao Yuliang to do anything foolish.

Gao Yuliang's downfall did her no good.

Therefore, her words of comfort at this moment were exceptionally sincere.

Looking at Gao Yuliang's dissatisfied and depressed face, she herself was filled with anxiety.

"Phew—" Gao Yuliang breathed a deep sigh of relief as he listened to Wu Huifen's voice, regaining his rationality as a professor.

Don't worry.

I know exactly what to do.

Gao Yuliang said calmly.

A refined smile appeared on his face.

It seems like they genuinely don't care about this matter and have clearly understood their position.

Wu Huifen looked at Gao Yuliang at that moment.

I knew Gao Yuliang was just pretending at that moment.

How can a person's emotions come and go so suddenly?

At this moment, Wu Huifen chose to keep quiet.

She believed Gao Yuliang would figure it out.

There's nothing I can do if I don't want to understand; he's the top leader.

As the third child, one should be sensible; otherwise, an abyss awaits.

The couple didn't say anything more and just sat quietly in the living room, speechless.

"Snap!"

At some point, Gao Yuliang lit a cigarette.

The room was instantly filled with smoke.

Upon seeing this, Wu Huifen suddenly smiled.

Knowing that Gao Yuliang is like this, he is trying to convince himself to compromise.

They might also be plotting how to counter Sarekin.

In less than two minutes, Gao Yuliang had finished a cigarette.

The sound of a lighter rang out again.

Then the next one.

The smoke quickly filled the entire room.

"Let's rest. We'll deal with tomorrow's problems tomorrow!"

A moment later, it was unclear how many cigarettes Gao Yuliang had smoked, but the ashtray was piled high with cigarette butts.

In the end, Gao Yuliang still couldn't convince himself what the next move should be.

Hesitation filled his mind and lingered there.

"Okay, it's good that you know what you're doing." Wu Huifen glanced at Gao Yuliang and slowly stood up.

If she couldn't even convince herself, no outsider could. Wu Huifen wouldn't think she was some kind of capable person who could persuade Gao Yuliang at this time.

They chose to quietly withdraw, allowing Gao Yuliang to think things through.

"Do you need to be clear about what you're doing?"

"I want to do things, but no one will allow me!"

Gao Yuliang murmured as he watched his wife Wu Huifen's retreating figure.

He wanted to become the provincial party secretary.

Gao Yuliang knew that he had withstood the storm stirred up by Sha Ruijin thanks to his deep roots in Handong Province.

He is very likely to be promoted to provincial party secretary, at which point his career will reach its peak and he can take another step forward.

But Sha Ruijin was like a mountain blocking his way, making it impossible for him to move an inch.

During this period, Gao Yuliang saw too much hope, but also fell into deep despair.

He wants to be the provincial party secretary, but the provincial party secretary isn't his; he wants to be the governor, but the governor isn't his either.

He wanted Hou Liangping, a student, to stand by his side, but Hou Liangping also happened to be Sha Ruijin's dagger.

With everything going wrong, Gao Yuliang had already sensed a crisis, which is why he was happy about today's phone call.

But after learning the purpose of the call, Gao Yuliang was no longer happy.

Who could be happy to be a dispensable mascot?

Making Gao Yuliang the mascot doesn't suit his personality.

Whether he will say something he shouldn't tomorrow is something even Gao Yuliang himself cannot predict.
