Chapter 414: Using Connections

After hearing what Mr. Cai said, the young people all smiled and planned to go out of the yard together.

After all, Erniu was not very familiar with these people. Seeing Zhong Yunfeng being dragged out by Xiao Jingxing, Erniu didn't know whether to follow him or wait here for her mother. At this time, Ji Yunting's wife He carefully noticed Erniu's actions and took the initiative to come forward.

He smiled politely at Erniu and spoke.

"Sister, come with me and keep an eye on Furong and the others. Furong is already ten years old, but she still hangs out with the boys like a tomboy. When I see you being so quiet and gentle, I like you so much. I really hope that Furong can be like me, a lady."

As He spoke, she took Erniu's hand. Hearing Erniu praising her, Erniu blushed shyly. Xiao Jingxing's wife Chen Bingshuang was chatting with Zhu Yuchun's wife Ma and Zhao Mubai's wife Liao. Seeing He supporting Erniu and walking out of the yard, she hurriedly stopped them and turned back to greet Ma and Liao.

"Two sisters-in-law, let's go together as women."

As she spoke, Chen Bingshuangye picked up the basket that Yang Lin had placed on the eaves, and the women walked out of the yard, talking and laughing.

Liang Jingcheng knew that Ye Changyan had something to say to his senior brother Zhu Yuchun, so he called Li Ping and Sang Li to walk out of the yard.

Seeing that Zhu Yuchun seemed to be worried today, Zhao Mubai and Ji Yunting originally planned to call Zhu Yuchun along, but they saw Ye Changyan walking towards Zhu Yuchun. So they said hello to Xiao Yankai, Mr. Cai, and Ye Xiaozheng and his wife, and left the yard.

Zhu Yuchun was in a trance because he recognized the Fourth Prince, so he didn't respond when Ye Changyan came up to him and called him.

Seeing that his senior brother was a little distracted, Ye Changyan patted Zhu Yuchun on the back gently and spoke in a slightly louder voice.

"Big Brother, what are you thinking about? Why are you so absorbed in this?"

After being slapped by Ye Changyan, Zhu Yuchun finally came back to his senses. He looked a little embarrassed, and then smiled.

"I was thinking about some things that I hadn't finished dealing with before the seal, and I was distracted for a moment, hahaha."

"Big Brother, you are really dedicated to your duties. It has been sealed for so many days. Today, everyone finally comes out to play, but you are still thinking about the things in the government office. Look, everyone has gone to the greenhouse to pick strawberries. Let's go together, brothers."

As he spoke, Ye Changyan smiled at Zhu Yuchun, then picked up a basket from under the eaves. Zhu Yuchun turned around and greeted Xiao Yankai, Mr. Cai, and Ye Xiaozheng and his wife, then followed Ye Changyan out of the courtyard.

Yesterday, Zhong Yunfeng hesitated for a long time, and finally told Zhong Dingren that he wanted to ask Ye Changyan to find Zhu Yuchun to smooth things over and see if he could consider his promotion.

When Ye Changyan saw Zhong Yunfeng's awkward look, he actually found it somewhat cute. He didn't expect that Zhong Yunfeng, who had been working in the business world for several years, would be so unnatural about asking someone for help. Moreover, the person he had to ask for help was his future brother-in-law, which was enough to show the kindness and integrity of Zhong Yunfeng.

Ye Changyan, who had experienced two lives, was no longer surprised by things like asking people for help in his previous life. In his previous life, when he took the high school entrance exam, he had a fever and performed abnormally, leaving him five or six points short of being admitted to the best high school in the city. His father was unwilling to let his son go to a middle school in the county, so he tried every means to find someone to ask for help, and finally spent a considerable amount of money, and finally got his son into the best high school in the city.

With such an experience in his previous life, Ye Changyan readily agreed when Zhong Yunfeng asked him to find Zhu Yuchun.

Ye Changyan and Zhu Yuchun walked slowly towards the greenhouse in the distance. Seeing that there was no one around, Ye Changyan spoke.

"Big Brother, I was asked by someone to help me with something. I want to see if you can help me."

"You are still being polite to me, Senior Brother. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."

Seeing that Zhu Yuchun was straightforward, Ye Changyan simply told Zhu Yuchun about Zhong Dingren's situation.

"Hahaha, this is a coincidence. Although the Ministry of Personnel has rules that some things cannot be disclosed to the public, since you mentioned Zhong Dingren's matter, I will quietly mention it to you. But you must promise not to tell anyone else, including Zhong Yunfeng."

Seeing Zhu Yuchun's smiling face, Ye Changyan nodded and agreed seriously. Then he heard Zhu Yuchun move closer and briefly mentioned the matter to Ye Changyan in a low voice.

It turned out that Zhu Yuchun was recently in charge of sorting out local officials. The Ministry of Personnel planned to promote a group of people after the new year. Among them, Zhong Dingren was the focus of the Ministry of Personnel's investigation. Hearing this result, Ye Changyan couldn't help but smile, and then listened to Zhu Yuchun's instructions.

"Junior brother, I can no longer reveal to you the final destination of Zhong Dingren. Just pretend you don't know what I just told you. If Zhong Dingren is a man of friendship, he will at least remember the favor he has done you and Zhong Yunfeng."

Ye Changyan nodded and smiled at Zhu Yuchun. The two brothers then went into a greenhouse nearby.

It happened that Liang Jingcheng, Li Ping and Sang Li were also in the greenhouse. They were carrying baskets and walking around the strawberry seedlings. Li Ping's two followers, Xu Jingzong and Xu Jingzu, were guarding the door of the greenhouse. When they saw Ye Changyan and Zhu Yuchun come in, they politely bowed to them.

"Chang Yan, I have never figured out how you came up with the idea of building a greenhouse. Now in the coldest days of winter, this greenhouse is as warm as March. It is really curious that we can eat such fresh strawberries at the end of the year and the beginning of the next year!"

Li Ping plucked an egg-sized strawberry from the strawberry seedling. The red strawberry had a rich fragrance. Li Ping couldn't resist his appetite and took a bite. Just then, he saw Ye Changyan and Zhu Yuchun coming in. While eating the sweet strawberries, he asked Ye Changyan questions.

Zhu Yuchun saw the Fourth Prince squatting down to pick a strawberry and putting it directly into his mouth without washing it. He was a little surprised. This was very different from the impression he had of a pampered son of the dragon and grandson of the dragon. However, the tone of the Fourth Prince's voice when speaking to Ye Changyan was so approachable.

"Come, have a taste. The strawberries on this strawberry tree are really delicious!"

Just when Zhu Yuchun was surprised, he saw the Fourth Prince squatting down again, picking a big red strawberry, calling out to Ye Changyan, and throwing the strawberry towards Ye Changyan.
