Before Ye Zhifan went on a business trip to Nanguang, he had a general understanding of the Du family. Although he was not an out-and-out distinguished family, it was still a family with a certain background.
The status of Staff Du in the family was fairly simple. He had an older brother who was the second-in-command in his province, whose children were already working, unsure what they were doing. But how bad could they be if they had a father who was the second-in-command in the province?
Staff Du was the second child with two sons and two daughters, and Chief Du was the eldest son, only 33 years old.
He also had a younger sister named ********. Ms. Du was in her early forties and had only one daughter who was still studying abroad.
However, the one most worth mentioning was Mrs. Li, wife of Staff Du. It could be said that the Du family could have their success today due to the great relationship they had with Mrs. Li. She was a woman who was resolute and very knowledgeable. She elevated the once authentic farmworkers of the Du family to a prominent status today.
Ye Zhifan deliberately went to understand Mrs. Li’s youth and her activities in recent years. He found out that her status in the Du family was quite high, and the Du family respected her very much. Staff Du was even more so obedient to her. She took charge of family affairs and children’s affairs. He never questioned her.
Indeed, his family had been raised by his wife’s family to such a prominent status today. Whoever had such a wife in the house would certainly treat her as their “ancestor”. This commander standing in front of him also respected his mother very much.
Ye Zhifan had to be cautious because of Mrs. Li.
In response to Du Kaiwei’s hospitality, Ye Zhifan, who came here to understand the situation, took a sip of tea and calmly said, “Commander Du, you’re too kind. Remember the thing you told me last time? After thinking about it, I think I can’t agree.”
“My daughter is now studying in France. If I want her to suddenly get out of school and join the army… It will be difficult to pick up her studies if she quitted halfway. She is only 19 years old. I am afraid that she will not be able to endure any hardship if she joined the army at this age.”
It was not that he was unwilling to bring Ying Ying back to China, but Mrs. Li was here. She was a strong wife who did not like others to take favors. He must understand her means first.
Anything related to the Du family, they must get Mrs. Li’s nod of the agreement for things to go smoothly! Moreover, he did not believe that Mrs. Li, as Du Kaiwei’s mother, wouldn’t know that he had saved her son.
He even suspected that it was Mrs. Li’s proposal to have Ying Ying enter the army. He must find out what her purpose was of doing so.
It would be fine if Du Kaiwei was rescued by chance, but this was not the case. It was all planned, and he had just followed the arrangements step by step. The Du family was not an ordinary family, so he was a little uneasy. He had to be cautious.
When Du Kaiwei heard this, his eyes flickered.
Ye Zhifan actually turned the offer down. He was a little surprised.
Du Kaiwei gently put the teacup in his hand back on the solid wood coffee table, put one arm on the back of the sofa, his feet slightly spread, sitting in a casual posture; he could not help asking gently, “Director Ye, you don’t believe me?”
According to his investigation, Director Ye took a lot of thought to send his daughter to the army. He tried his best to establish a relationship with the Southern Military Region. Unfortunately, he failed every time.
According to his analysis, Director Ye’s biggest failure was marrying a foolish pig-like wife who offended a national treasure-level sergeant commander. It was strange that he could get along with the Yunnan Military Region.
Du Kaiwei investigated Ye Zhifan’s affairs. He was a little relieved when he learned that the person who saved him was the Director of the Construction Bureau of Southern Province. He was initially worried that he might be fooled, but he was slightly relieved now.
