Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

After hearing this news from Zhao Jianmin, Zhao Wenhao couldn't help but sigh.

This is what is meant by repaying kindness.

This happened more than 20 years ago, but Zhao Wenhao would never have thought that he could receive such a generous reward. It really shows that life circumstances are different.

Along the way, Zhao Wenhao intentionally or unintentionally asked Zhao Jianmin for more things. After all, what he knew was just what the former Zhao Wenhao knew.

At that time, Zhao Wenhao was a cowardly nerd who only knew how to study and lacked a certain understanding of the society.

Zhao Jianmin actually enjoyed chatting with Zhao Wenhao about family matters, so Zhao Wenhao learned a lot of information from him during the drive, and also had a general idea of ​​the future path.

More than twenty minutes later, the two finally arrived at the town government.

Zhao Jianmin comes here often, so he is familiar with the place.

"Let's wait here for Ma Yaoming to come out. It's not appropriate to discuss this matter in his office." Zhao Jianmin said immediately.

Zhao Wenhao could understand what Zhao Jianmin said, so he obediently waited downstairs.

It was already past eleven o'clock and not far from the time to get off work at noon.

At this moment, an old Jeep 121 stopped downstairs of the office building. A middle-aged man got out of the car, holding a black briefcase in his hand, and walked quickly towards the office building.

"Secretary Yan!"

Seeing this person, Zhao Jianmin quickly stood up and greeted the visitor respectfully.

"Yeah!" Yan Cheng nodded expressionlessly at Zhao Jianmin and Zhao Wenhao, and was about to walk over.

Just as Yan Cheng walked over, he suddenly took a step back and looked at Zhao Wenhao carefully with some curiosity. "Are you Zhao Wenhao? How did you do in the exam?"

Zhao Wenhao was obviously stunned. In his impression, he seemed to have no connection with Secretary Yan. How could he call out his name?

Seeing Zhao Wenhao's expression, Yan Cheng knew that this kid didn't remember him, so he said with a smile: "I am Yan Bin's father. You visited my house before the New Year last year."

"Ah? You are Uncle Yan!"

Only then did Zhao Wenhao finally react.

During his senior year of high school, he sat at the same table with Yan Bin for a year and they had a pretty good relationship.

During the winter vacation last year, Yan Bin took him to visit his home, and only Yan Bin's mother was at home.

Later, Yan Cheng came back halfway and said a few words casually.

At the time, Zhao Wenhao didn't think too much about it, nor did he care that his classmate's father was actually the secretary of Hengtang Town. Therefore, at this time, he had no impression of Yan Cheng at all.

It was not until Yan Cheng mentioned it that he finally remembered it.

"Hello, Uncle Yan!" Zhao Wenhao hurried forward to greet him. "I didn't do well on the test. I'm still 8 points short of the passing score."

"Oh, what a pity! Your grades are usually better than our Yan Bin's, but you didn't pass this time. Our Yan Bin was lucky in the exam and just made the passing score. He was talking to me about you a few days ago, saying that he would come to see you when he had the chance."

Yan Cheng patted Zhao Wenhao's shoulder to comfort him.

"Then I must find a time to congratulate Yan Bin." Zhao Wenhao said happily, "I will go to see him after I finish the things on hand."

Zhao Wenhao certainly wanted to maintain this kind of classmate relationship. Especially since he would face suppression from the Ma family in the future, if he could maintain a good relationship with Yan Cheng, then what would Ma Yaoming matter to him?

With this idea in mind, Zhao Wenhao's attitude towards Yan Cheng naturally became very enthusiastic.

"By the way, I almost forgot to ask you, are you looking for someone here?"

The two chatted about family matters for a while, and Yan Cheng finally remembered this matter.

Zhao Wenhao immediately said, "I'm waiting for Mayor Ma to get off work. I have something at home that I need to talk to him about."

"Let's talk about it after we go upstairs." Yan Cheng didn't understand the inside story, so he said it directly.

Zhao Wenhao scratched his head and explained a little embarrassedly: "It's some private matters at home. It's not appropriate to go to his office. My uncle and I thought we would wait for him downstairs and then talk about it."

Yan Cheng didn't continue to be polite. Since Zhao Wenhao insisted, he said goodbye directly.

Meeting Zhao Wenhao here was a coincidence in itself. If Yan Bin hadn't mentioned this kid a few days ago, Yan Cheng really wouldn't have been able to remember him all of a sudden.

So, when he saw Zhao Wenhao, Yan Cheng stopped and said a few more words.

However, by coincidence, when Yan Cheng went upstairs, Ma Yaoming happened to come down and was about to go out.

"Secretary Yan, you're back!" Seeing Yan Cheng going upstairs, Ma Yaoming quickly stood aside and greeted him actively.

Yan Cheng looked up and saw that he happened to meet Ma Yaoming by chance, so he said, "Yaoming, Zhao Wenhao is waiting for you downstairs, go quickly."

After saying that, Yan Cheng walked towards his office on his own.

But Yan Cheng's unintentional words caused a wave of waves in Ma Yaoming's heart!

What was going on? How did Secretary Yan know Zhao Wenhao and even tell him that Zhao Wenhao was waiting for him downstairs?

Could it be that Zhao Wenhao's family has some connection with Secretary Yan? I've never heard of this before!

Ma Hongzhi explained everything that happened in Zhaojiayu yesterday to Ma Yaoming that evening. Of course, Ma Hongzhi exaggerated the situation and denigrated Zhao Wenhao's family, even deliberately slandering them.

Even though Ma Yaoming knew his son's character, he still felt extremely indignant towards Zhao Wenhao's family.

Especially when she heard that Zhao Wenhao was going to come here today to cancel the engagement, she was even more furious.

He had already thought that this marriage was not something they could cancel just because they wanted to, and they would have to pay a considerable price.

When marrying into the Zhao family, Ma Yaoming made a special effort to learn about the family. Apart from Zhao Wenjing, who was indeed good-looking and had a quiet personality, basically no other family members caught his eye.

But Ma Hongzhi cried, made a scene and even threatened to hang himself, insisting on marrying Zhao Wenjing. In desperation, Ma Yaoming reluctantly agreed to the matter.

What he didn't expect was that the Zhao family actually took the initiative to cancel the engagement before he had any opinions about them, which was unacceptable to the always domineering Ma Yaoming.

Tolerable or unbearable!

Yesterday, Ma Yaoming had already made up his mind that if the Zhao family came to discuss this matter today, he would definitely give them a warning.

Not only that, even if the engagement was finally broken off, he would definitely find all kinds of excuses to create all kinds of trouble for his Zhao family.

Ma Yaoming believed that as long as he revealed this meaning, someone would definitely deal with the matter.

In Hengtang Town, no one dared to disrespect Ma Yaoming except the secretary and the mayor.

Unfortunately, just now, Yan Cheng's words made Ma Yaoming start to have concerns.
