At the Pinnacle of Power: My Insider Report Alarms Bigwigs in Beijing's Elite Circle

"Xiao Li, let me tell you, the director of the construction committee just called me and told me about Lin Yi's promotion. He also congratulated me on finding a good son-in-law. How could it be fake?"

Liu Guoquan was as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

How could this be?

Upon hearing her father's words again, Liu Li was stunned!

Liu Guoquan assumed his daughter was stunned by the sudden surprise and continued to boast, "Xiao Li, now you know how good Dad's taste is, right? A 28-year-old section chief, the mayor's chief secretary—if you marry a man like that, you'll enjoy endless wealth and luxury for the rest of your life..."

"Dad...Dad, I'll call you back later!"

Liu Li felt her heart was bleeding.

She quickly interrupted Liu Guoquan, hung up the phone, turned and ran into the West Bank Restaurant. She rushed to Ye Hao, her face filled with panic, and asked:

"Ye Hao, my dad just called me and said that Mayor Xiao is fine, and Lin Yi has been promoted to be the head of the secretariat and the mayor's chief secretary. Is that true?"

"Yes!"

"You...you said that Mayor Xiao definitely wouldn't get out, and Lin Yi was definitely finished. Why is this happening?"

"You're asking me? Who the hell am I supposed to ask?!"

Ye Hao stubbed out his cigarette with a look of annoyance, then got up and left.

Originally, after learning about Lin Yi's situation, he was upset and wanted to vent his anger on Liu Li.

Now that Liu Li knows about Lin Yi's promotion, there's absolutely no way she'll cooperate with him!

Why was I so stupid to believe his nonsense?

Sure enough, Liu Li watched Ye Hao's departing figure and was filled with regret!

If time could turn back, she would definitely choose to listen to Liu Guoquan instead of turning around and throwing herself into Ye Hao's arms.

"I'll wait another minute, maybe the next minute..."

The response Liu Li received was a ringtone from her phone.

Liu Li looked at the caller ID and saw that it was her father, Liu Guoquan's, number. She hesitated for a moment, but still answered the phone.

Liu Guoquan's voice immediately came through the receiver: "Xiao Li, your mother and I are going to the supermarket to buy gifts, and then we'll pick you up at the West Coast Restaurant so we can go to the hospital to visit Lin Yi's father!"

"Dad, we can't go to the hospital."

Liu Li felt as if her heart was being torn apart, and her voice was trembling with tears.

Liu Guoquan was taken aback: "Why?"

"I broke up with Lin Yi yesterday..."

"Xiao Li, don't scare me!"

Liu Guoquan felt a wave of dizziness.

Liu Li took a deep breath: "Dad, it's true, I broke up with him!"

"Why did you break up?"

"I was scammed by that liar Ye Hao..."

Liu Li mustered up her courage and told Ye Hao about her relationship, but placed all the blame on Ye Hao.

"Have you lost your mind? I told you, until Mayor Xiao's case is solved, your attitude towards Lin Yi should remain the same as before. But instead, you turned around and started dating Ye Hao! Ye Hao is a notorious playboy in Yunshan, don't you know that?"

Liu Guoquan was so angry that his blood pressure spiked, and he felt like he needed to be hospitalized.

Liu Li explained softly, "Dad, I thought..."

"Don't think that way. Come back right now and come to the hospital with me and your mother. Apologize to Lin Yi and make up with him!"

Liu Guoquan interrupted angrily.

Liu Li was taken aback, then said, "Dad, when I broke up with Lin Yi on the phone yesterday, Ye Hao was right next to me, and Lin Yi heard Ye Hao speak. Moreover, I was with Ye Hao last night. Will Lin Yi make up with me?"

"Remember, you absolutely cannot let Lin Yi know about this. Then, sincerely apologize to Lin Yi, and there is still hope for reconciliation!"

Liu Guoquan patiently taught him.

Not to be outdone, Liu Li's mother shouted into the phone, "Xiao Li, your dad is right, men can be won over with sweet talk! As long as you make him happy, why worry about him not making up with you? After you make up, you can get pregnant with his child, get married because of the pregnancy, and everything from the past will be forgotten!"

Makes sense!

Liu Li's eyes lit up.

"Dad, Mom, wait for me at home. I'm going back now to touch up my makeup and change my clothes before we go to the hospital!"

Liu Li spoke quickly, all traces of sadness and regret vanishing from her face. She felt that if she humbled herself and coaxed Lin Yi, she could definitely get back together with him.

City hospital.

Shen Chuchu rode her electric bike to the ward of the internal medicine department.

She parked her electric scooter, then, carrying two lunchboxes, quickly walked into the inpatient building and arrived at Lin Zhengguang's ward.

Because she was carrying lunchboxes in both hands, she couldn't knock on the door, so she gently bumped the door three times with her forehead.

A few seconds later, Lin Yi opened the door and saw Shen Chuchu carrying two lunch boxes, each with several layers. He froze on the spot.

“I…I called my aunt this afternoon, and she said you were in the hospital. I thought that since you were in the hospital, you should be fine, so I went back to cook for my uncle and aunt.”

Shen Chuchu's forehead flushed slightly as she spoke softly.

Upon seeing that it was Shen Chuchu, Fang Lan quickly came over: "Xiao Yi, the meals your dad and I have been eating these past two days have all been delivered by Chuchu."

"Chuchu, aren't you going to work?"

Lin Yi was somewhat puzzled.

Shen Chuchu said vaguely, "I... I finish my work early every day, and I leave a little early at noon and in the afternoon. I've told my colleagues, so it's fine."

"Thank you, Chuchu."

Lin Yi felt a warmth in his heart and quickly invited Shen Chuchu into the house.

Shen Chuchu, carrying a lunchbox, quickly walked to the bedside and asked with concern, "Uncle Lin, how are you feeling? Is anything bothering you?"

"Chuchu, I'm fine. The doctor said I don't need a stent, just medication."

Lin Zhengguang smiled and shook his head.

"That's good, Uncle. I've made you some chicken soup and crucian carp soup. Please eat more while it's hot."

As Shen Chuchu spoke, she opened the lunchbox. Inside, besides chicken soup and crucian carp soup, there were also scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried vegetables, and rice—a very generous spread, and the aroma was irresistible.

After she finished doing all this, she turned to Lin Yi and said, "Lin Yi, I made a lot. You and Auntie should come and eat with us!"

"it is good."

Lin Yi was indeed hungry, so he nodded.

After handing a bowl of rice to Lin Zhengguang, Fang Lan asked Shen Chuchu, "Chuchu, have you eaten?"

"Ah... Auntie, I ate before I came, please eat quickly."

Shen Chuchu said with a smile, but her expression was slightly nervous.

Because she is not good at lying.

She didn't eat at all.

Every day after she finishes cooking, she is afraid that the food will get cold, so she will send it to the hospital as quickly as possible.

She would sit to the side, watch Lin Zhengguang and Fang Lan finish their meal, chat with them for a while, and then go home.

Once she got home, she reheated the remaining food in the pot and ate it herself.

It's been like this for the past few days.

Lin Yi, Lin Zhengguang, and Fang Lan, the couple, did not know that the gentle and kind Shen Chuchu would lie. They thought that Shen Chuchu had really eaten it, so they stopped paying attention to Shen Chuchu.

Shen Chuchu sat not far away and watched Lin Yi wolf down his food. She knew that Lin Yi really liked the food she had made, and she was very happy. At the same time, she secretly swallowed her saliva.

She is hungry too.

I really want to eat with you guys. If I had known, I would have brought three lunchboxes.

Shen Chuchu's mind was racing with random thoughts.

"Bang bang bang!"

A few moments later, after Lin Yi and the other two finished their meal, there was a knock on the door of the ward.

After three soft clicks, the door opened.

Liu Li, carrying gifts and accompanied by her parents, appeared at the door of the ward.

"Shen Chuchu, what are you doing here? Who sent you?!"

When Liu Li entered the room and saw Shen Chuchu in the ward, she felt that something that belonged to her had been taken away, and she immediately questioned her angrily!

"Get out!"

Liu Li was met with a cold shout!

Lin Yi stood up and stood next to Shen Chuchu.
