Chapter 80 No Power, No Influence
Soon, Ye Shengguo heard the man's voice again.
"Chen Tianming, I want to make a phone call."
"You can't, my capabilities are limited."
"Is even a deputy bureau chief this incompetent?"
Wan Qiong's contemptuous expression didn't elicit any reaction from the other party.
"Heh, you're still so by-the-book. You'll always be stuck in this position."
Chen Tianming took a deep look at the woman. She was beautiful, as beautiful as she was when she was young. He had been assigned to Qi City back then to help her.
But he was tired. He had given up too much for her, yet gained too little. He didn't want to continue, especially now that her hurtful gaze couldn't touch him at all. What did that mean? A sense of inexplicable happiness bloomed in his heart.
"If you have something to say, I'll say it for you."
"This call must be made by me."
"Not possible at the moment."
"You! Chen Tianming, don't push it. Is this how you get revenge because you didn't get me?"
Great gossip! Ye Shengguo listened with increasing interest. She even took out a small notebook to jot down the details. She had to remember these character relationships, otherwise, with so many people interacting with Wan Qiong, her mind wouldn't be enough.
"Wan Qiong, how old are you? At least I've passed the age of impulse and desperation. As familiar acquaintances, I can help you make any call you need. I'm very busy right now."
Tsk, tsk, tsk. This man was no longer in love. Ye Shengguo grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and began to crack them.
Wan Qiong's expression contorted slightly. The man who used to follow her like a dog was now so realistic the moment she encountered a slight problem.
"Heh, fine. I'm afraid you won't dare to make this call."
Chen Tianming still showed no reaction, leaving all the decision-making power to her.
This unyielding attitude completely stumped Wan Qiong.
"Call Ye Huailin and tell him the little one has grown up and is no longer controllable. I need to take the little one to a new environment."
Ye Shengguo's nerves immediately tensed. Ye Huailin, surnamed Ye, and her father's name only differed by one character. Was "little one" referring to her? Was this a plan to take her away?
Before, she felt the original host's background had nothing to do with her. But now, it was different. Did the Ye Huailin have any relatives named Ye Huaijin? If so, would he look like her father? Could he be her father?
All these questions made Ye Shengguo clearly realize that she hadn't transmigrated to be a freeloader. It was likely a mission assigned by the transmigration gods, requiring her to pass trials and level up. Su Dan Novel Network.
However, Ye Shengguo was full of anticipation now. She hoped there was a Ye Huaijin, and even more, she hoped this Ye Huaijin was her father. That way, she wouldn't be alone.
Wan Qiong laughed when she received no answer for a long time.
"You still dare to make the call for me? Chen Tianming, remember this, an ant can never climb to a high platform. Hahahaha!"
Chen Tianming looked at the arrogant woman and once doubted if his eyes had been blind back then. He had wasted so much time.
"Since an ant can't climb to a high platform, then I can't help you either."
With that, he closed the door. Chen Tianming was not afraid at all, because everything he was doing now was in accordance with regulations.
"Hello, Secretary Ouyang? Wan Qiong just asked me to call Ye Huailin..."
Ye Shengguo was anxious. If she didn't let Wan Qiong make the call, she wouldn't know their plan or secrets. What should she do? In this world, she had no power or influence. She was incapable of doing anything and had no time.
But what Ye Shengguo didn't know was that her greatest support had already arrived in Qi City. Soon, she would once again become a pampered girl.
