Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 7: Chapter 7 To Meet (PK300 Extra)

The bus line leading to the City Government is evidently more luxurious compared to other lines; you donʼt have to squeeze or scramble, Luo Yeshu comfortably occupies the entire back row of seats—everyone avoids the back because itʼs bumpy.

Luo Yeshu, seemingly admiring the seascape, is actually feeling confused inside and couldnʼt see anything clearly; she has no assurance whether she will be able to meet the other person.

She canʼt possibly make her personality do a complete 360-degree change overnight, otherwise, Zhenggang might just send her to a mental hospital for a thorough examination.

City Hall is located on the southeast side of Island City, facing north to south. The architectural design features an inward-curving arch, stylish yet dignified, with two buildings front and back—the front building serves as the office and the rear building for reception, connected by a relatively low passageway in between.

Itʼs said that when the government building was first constructed there was no New Mansion Building in front of it, having nothing in front to block or at the back to rely on, many feng shui masters felt that it was not in line with feng shui principles.

Thus, the New Mansion Building was built behind it, taller than the front building, blocking the north wind attacking from behind and providing a solid backing for the office building. Seen from the seaside, the two buildings resemble a ”black gauze cap,” standing safe and firm on the north shore of the sea, exuding an imposing aura.

After getting off the bus, Luo Yeshu looked up and took in the familiar building, took a deep breath, straightened her back, and walked towards the guard post: ”Hello, Uncle. I am the daughter of Vice Mayor Luo, Luo Yeshu. I have urgent business with my dad, hereʼs my student ID for you to check!” Luo Yeshu said as she handed her student ID to the security personnel inside the guard post.

The security personnel in front of the guard post instinctively turned their heads to glance at Luo Yeshu, then quickly straightened their bodies to face forward again.

”Please wait a moment,” the security personnel said after inspecting the student ID, which indeed had the surname Luo. Although he was doubtful whether this somewhat unkempt girl could really be the Mayorʼs daughter, out of a principle of caution, he treated everyone equally without discrimination.

After calling through a dedicated line to explain the situation and holding the phone for a while, he then turned back to Luo Yeshu with a smile, ”Would you mind coming over to take this call?”

Luo Yeshu took the phone and said ”hello,” but was immediately interrupted by Zhenggangʼs stern voice: ”Luo Yeshu, why arenʼt you at school studying at this time, and instead causing trouble here?”

”Dad, I caught a cold, and my teacher told me to go home and rest. Mom should be at the leisure center at this time, so I came to get the keys from dad. I left in a rush this morning and forgot them!” Luo Yeshuʼs voice was soft and full of deep grievance—she had no choice, the security personnel was there, so she had to act the part of a dutiful daughter.

”Iʼll have Xiao Wang bring them to you...”

”Dad...” Luo Yeshu, afraid that Zhenggang might hang up the phone, quickly called out, then coughed a few times: ”Dad, I feel awful, I want to go up for some water and rest, Dad, I canʼt hold on...” By the end, her voice was almost crying.

”Give the phone to the guard, Xiao Wang will come down to fetch you soon!” Zhenggang finally relented.

”Thanks, Dad, but no need to trouble Uncle Wang, just tell the lobby guard to let me register and go up!” Luo Yeshu, a bit excited, handed the phone back to the guard. She hadnʼt pretended to be sick and weak for nothing after all—her own soft, mushy voice was almost too much for her.

The guard who had been dealing with Luo Yeshu nudged the guard sitting behind him: ”Liu Liang, the daughter of the Vice Mayor, looked sickly when on the phone, almost collapsing, and now all of a sudden sheʼs full of vigor!

You tell me, with the status of Vice Mayor Luo, how could his daughter be so unkempt? A proper young girl, her hair covering her eyes so that one canʼt even see them, she looks like a lifeless old woman.

Given the good looks of Mayor Luo and his wife, their child shouldnʼt be ugly, ah... I wonder if their daughter dresses like that because she has some defects?”

Liu Liang stared emotionlessly out the window: ”Zhang Ping, donʼt make remarks about leadersʼ family matters. Youʼve been here for half a year, how come you still canʼt break your habit of loose talk?”

”Iʼm just chatting with you, I wouldnʼt say this to anyone else!” Zhang Ping couldnʼt help but mutter under his breath again: ”Talking in formalities all day, itʼs so suffocating!”

Liu Liang responded indifferently: ”You can apply to return to the army to raise pigs, you can tell them anything, it doesnʼt matter, say whatever you want.”

Zhang Ping: ”...”

Upon arriving at the lobby on the first floor of City Hall, Luo Ye registered and was allowed to pass through smoothly, but after walking a distance and noticing no one paying attention to her, she turned incorrectly toward the office of the Secretary of the Municipal Committee.

There was Xiao Wang to receive her; how could she possibly have taken the wrong turn? She doesnʼt believe that after seeing Luo Zhenggang, she would still have the chance to sneak off elsewhere.

Standing in front of the vermilion office door, Luo Ye calmed her emotions and gently knocked on the door.

”Who are you looking for?” Seeing Luo Ye, who was dressed in ordinary school uniform with hair covering her eyes standing at the door, Secretary Huang frowned, thinking that the security was too negligent.

Luo Ye quickly gathered her bangs to reveal a pure smile: ”Uncle, cough... Iʼm looking for my dad... cough... the uncle downstairs already made a phone call!”

The elegant and charming appearance of Luo Ye made Secretary Huang visibly stunned for a moment; he didnʼt expect that underneath the unkempt hair hid such a bright and beautiful face, then he smiled: ”Who is your dad? Did you come to the wrong place?”

”No, cough..., my dad is Luo Zhenggang, the room number is West 1216.” Luo Ye deliberately lifted her hair covering her eyes and squinted to check the room number: ”Uncle, cough... isnʼt this 1216?”

Secretary Huang laughed: ”You are the daughter of Mayor Luo? You walked in the wrong direction, this is East 1219, do you have a cold, always coughing?”

”Yes, I have a cold, my teacher told me to go home to rest. I forgot my keys, and my mom should also be at the company. Itʼs closer to come here to dadʼs, cough..., originally dad was going to have Uncle Wang drop me off, cough..., I felt uncomfortable and wanted to come up for some water, but ended up going to the wrong place, cough...” Lin Daiyu reemerged.

”Come in and sit down for a drink of water to rest a bit, Iʼll take you to Mayor Luo shortly!” As Mayor Luoʼs close assistant, Secretary Huang naturally treated Luo Ye very politely.

”Thank you, Uncle, then I wonʼt be polite!” Luo Ye, secretly delighted in her heart, showed a face full of gratitude.

After Luo Ye sat down on the sofa, Secretary Huang quickly poured her a glass of water: ”Look at you coughing, your face has turned red, have some water to soothe your throat.”

”Uncle, cough..., sorry, this is your office, so are you...?” It was Luo Yeʼs first time visiting City Hall, of course, she had to play ignorant to the end.

Secretary Huang smiled: ”This is Secretary Liuʼs office, Iʼm his secretary Xiao Huang, I was just about to go in and report to the boss!”

”So itʼs Uncle Liuʼs office? Itʼs been a long time since Iʼve seen Uncle Liu, I didnʼt expect to accidentally end up here!” Luo Ye quickly stood up, feeling embarrassed, and looked at Secretary Huang: ”Uncle, I should go in and visit Uncle Liu!”
