Chapter 18: Hou Liangping
"Monkey, you know what kind of person my dad is. Don't even think about asking him to help intercede or say hello." After listening to Hou Liangping's narration, Chen Hai looked embarrassed.
How could he not understand his father? He was very careful about his reputation and told him that love was extremely difficult and he shouldn't even think about it.
"Haizi, we are all brothers in the same dormitory, and we should help each other at critical moments.
You can't just ignore Monkey. If Uncle goes in, his future will be ruined." Bai Bin pushed the door open and walked in.
Seeing that it was his roommate Bai Bin who came in, Chen Hai shook his head and said, "Monkey, Bai Bin, it's not that I don't want to help, it's just that my dad is someone who won't help speak up for this matter.
Monkey, you have been to my house and you know what kind of person my father is. I am sure you have heard his story as well."
Hou Liangping nodded. He almost vomited after listening to it.
To be honest, when he heard it for the first time, he was quite impressed and moved, but later he would talk about it almost every time they met, which made him a little annoying.
He was indeed great at the time and was willing to sacrifice for the New China. However, most people of that era were like that, not just Chen Yanshi. It seems a bit like deliberately elevating himself by constantly bringing this up.
Hou Liangping knew what Chen Hai meant. It seemed that asking Chen Yanshi for help was a bit of a presumption.
Thinking of this, his mood instantly plummeted to the bottom and he slumped down on the bunk bed. Could it be that his future was really ruined?
If his father was sentenced, as the son of an embezzler, he would not be able to pass the political review and his ideals would be over.
"Monkey, there's no way with Uncle Chen. Why don't you go find Teacher Gao? He has a wide network of contacts. Maybe he can help you." Bai Bin looked at Hou Liangping with concern.
He did this to disgust Hou Liangping. Everyone knew that he had just dumped Teacher Gao's daughter, so it would be strange if others would help him.
Hou Liangping didn't think so. He would not give up any opportunity now. He didn't even consider whether Gao Yuliang would agree to him. He immediately sat up from the bunk bed and walked out.
"Haizi, let's follow and see. If Monkey gets desperate, we might be able to intercept him." Seeing Hou Liangping pushing the door and going out, Bai Bin said to Chen Hai.
Chen Hai nodded. Although he couldn't help, he had a good relationship with Hou Liangping and didn't want anything to happen to him.
Hou Liangping ran directly to Gao Yuliang’s teacher’s apartment and started knocking on the door.
"Teacher Gao, I'm Hou Liangping. Please open the door for me."
"Hou Liangping, what is he doing here? I'll chase him away." Wu Huifen put down her chopsticks and prepared to stand up.
"No need. Go to the bedroom and look after our daughter. Don't let her come out. Fangfang is feeling a little better now. Don't be upset anymore. I'll go and see what he wants from me." Gao Yuliang said expressionlessly.
Gao Yuliang opened the door but did not invite Hou Liangping in. Instead, he stood at the door and asked, "Student Hou Liangping, what do you want to talk to the teacher about?"
Hou Liangping suddenly felt a little scared when he saw Gao Yuliang's expression, but this was the last solution he could think of, so he had to bite the bullet and speak.
"Teacher Gao, is Fangfang here? I was possessed by a demon some time ago and said something I shouldn't have said, which hurt her. I came here today to apologize to her and hope to get her forgiveness."
Who is Gao Yuliang? How could Hou Liangping's insincere tricks be hidden from him? However, he did not expose them.
"Fangfang has already gone to bed. Your teacher accepted the apology on Fangfang's behalf. It's normal to break up after a relationship. This matter can't be blamed on you.
Is there anything else? If not, please leave. You also know that Teacher Wu has a bad temper. I am afraid that she will see that you can't control your temper. " Gao Yuliang still spoke gently, without any negative emotions.
"Teacher Gao, you..." Hou Liangping gritted his teeth and continued, "Do you know the director of the Jingzhou Anti-Corruption Bureau?"
"Director of Jingzhou Anti-Corruption Bureau? I don't know him! Why do you want to be assigned to Jingzhou Anti-Corruption Bureau after graduation? This teacher really can't help you.
I am just a teacher. How can I recognize such a big figure as the director? Most of the students I taught are currently serving at the grassroots level. How can a teacher help with such a big matter as graduation assignment?
Otherwise, you, Senior Qi, wouldn't have been assigned to a township justice office." Gao Yuliang continued to speak in a lukewarm tone.
Gao Yuliang's words made Hou Liangping completely give up, and he left in a daze without even saying goodbye.
Looking at Hou Liangping's current appearance, Gao Yuliang couldn't help but think that he deserved it.
"Yuliang, what does Hou Liangping want to see you for?" Wu Huifen asked curiously, and Gao Fangfang also paid more attention.
"He came to me for help, but I rejected him before he could tell me his purpose." Gao Yuliang already knew that Hou Liangping was not looking for him for graduation assignment.
I just did it on purpose to drive Hou Liangping away.
If it wasn't for the sake of maintaining his consistent personality, he really wanted to slap Hou Liangping a few times. He hurt his Gao Yuliang's only daughter and even came to him for help. He was really looking for death.
When Gao Fangfang heard that he was here to ask her father for help, she completely gave up.
"Monkey, what did Teacher Gao say?" Looking at Hou Liangping's confused look, Chen Hai had already guessed the ending, and this sentence was just asked casually.
"It's over, it's all over, I'm completely finished." Hou Liangping muttered to himself.
"Monkey, it doesn't have to be that serious. We can still think of other ways." Bai Bin advised.
"Zhong Xiaoai, it's all Zhong Xiaoai's fault. I want to reason with her. Why did she treat me like this? If she doesn't give me a way to live, I won't give her a way to live either." Hou Liangping said with a fierce look in his eyes, which made Chen Hai and Bai Bin feel a little scared.
"Monkey, that's not the case. Even if your uncle gets into trouble, you can still go into business. If you really offend Zhong Xiaoai, you will probably have no place to stand.
If you really hurt Zhong Xiaoai, then it will be the end." Chen Hai hurriedly grabbed Hou Liangping.
"I won't go into business." Hou Liangping looked down on businessmen in his heart. This was the bad idea that his father instilled in him since he was a child. Therefore, Hou Liangping, who regarded himself as a superior person, never considered doing business.
"Monkey, there is only one solution left, which is to ask Teacher Liang Lu for help.
Her father is the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. He is also a relative of Director He of the Jingzhou Anti-Corruption Bureau. It should be no problem to ask Teacher Liang for help. "Seeing Chen Hai and Hou Liangping looking at him, Bai Bin hurriedly explained his reasons.
This is also the reason why he is so active, in order to remind Hou Liangping at the critical moment and let him know who to find, so as to achieve his goal and complete Mr. Liang's task.
"Monkey, you know what, Bai Bin's idea is really good." Chen Hai's eyes lit up and he thought it was a good idea.
After listening to Bai Bin's explanation, the grayness between Hou Liangping's eyes slowly faded away, and the light of hope gathered again.
