Chapter 207 Five Years Later, a Shocking Transformation
He Yi took Tan Yifei to the school to settle in, and then took him to the company to introduce him to the person in charge. The person in charge was a Chinese-Canadian mixed-race man named Mike in English and Li Xin in Chinese. He was 30 years old, witty and humorous, and had a close relationship with He Yi.
Upon learning that Tan Yifei was He Yi's nephew, Li Xin immediately hugged Tan Yifei warmly and said, "From now on, you can just follow me around. If you don't want to live alone, come find me. If you're under a lot of academic pressure, I'll take you out to play."
"Don't pass on your bad habits to him. He already has someone else in his heart," He Yi said meaningfully.
Li Xin exclaimed in surprise, "Really? She must be a very beautiful and charming lady? She came here with you too?"
“No, she’s in the country,” Tan Yifei replied, looking somewhat shy.
"That's a long-distance relationship, which is a bit troublesome, and it's destined not to last."
Tan Yifei smiled but remained silent, while He Yi glanced at Li Xin meaningfully. Li Xin laughed, "Alright, I won't lead him astray. I heard you became a father, why didn't you bring the child over? He's quite good-looking, isn't he?"
He Yi opened his phone and handed him a photo.
After seeing it, Li Xin immediately exclaimed, "Wow, this is so beautiful! You're so lucky! I have to be the little guy's godfather!"
"If you want to be a dad, you'd better work for it!" He Yi said, leaving no room for negotiation. "My son can only call me Dad!"
"Tch, look at you so smug. Alright, alright, everyone knows that the child born to you by your most beloved woman is the most precious. I'm not going to fight you for it; I'll have my own. By the way, why don't you bring the mother over for a visit?"
He Yi glanced at him but didn't answer. He then had someone take Yi Fei to visit various departments in the company, and he talked to Li Xin about official business.
A few of us went out for lunch.
The restaurant was near the company, so everyone walked there. Li Xin, a native of the area, was very familiar with the place, and He Yi had been there many times before. The two walked and talked without paying much attention to their surroundings. Tan Yifei, on the other hand, looked around with curiosity. Suddenly, his gaze was drawn to a familiar figure.
Isn't that Gu Zhiyao?
He quickly rubbed his eyes and instinctively chased after the other person, but the other person had already disappeared into the crowd and he could no longer find them.
Am I seeing things and mistaking someone for someone else?
Yes, she's in China, and judging from the timeline, her child should have been born soon or recently. Why would she come abroad?
It must be because I miss her so much that I'm hallucinating.
"Yifei?" A call brought Tan Yifei back to his senses.
It turned out that He Yi had noticed Yi Fei was missing when he was almost at the restaurant entrance, and then he chased him all the way here.
He looked at Tan Yifei with a puzzled expression.
Tan Yifei chuckled awkwardly, "I think I saw someone I knew just now, so I followed them."
"An acquaintance? A classmate? Or a friend?" He Yi asked.
"I must have seen wrong, it's not her." Tan Yifei didn't say it directly.
But He Yi was no ordinary person; he quickly guessed the situation and his heart was filled with emotion.
Could it be the woman Yifei has a crush on?
Isn't that woman in the country? And Yifei said she was pregnant.
So Yifei really mistook someone for someone else?
But He Yi also felt that someone as stubborn as Yi Fei wouldn't mistake her; if it really wasn't her, Yi Fei wouldn't have reacted so strongly.
So, after returning to the company, He Yi asked Li Xin to keep an eye on this matter.
"You're worried that girl will deceive Yifei's feelings? Impossible. If she really wanted to deceive him, she would have already won him over back home. Why would she go through all this trouble to come all the way here?"
“I hope it’s not true, but I still feel uneasy. Yifei wouldn’t mistake someone for someone else. Maybe that person really is her.” He Yi’s brows were deeply furrowed.
"But with so many people around, and you don't have a photo of her, it's very difficult to find her unless you ask Yifei to give me her photo."
“No, we can’t let Yifei know. Besides, Yifei probably doesn’t have a photo of the other person either,” He Yi said.
"That makes it very difficult to investigate."
"It's alright. Just keep an eye on Yifei's whereabouts in the future. If it's really as I guessed, the other party will definitely come looking for Yifei. Tell me as soon as possible."
"It can only be this way."
He Yi was deep in thought, and Li Xin remained silent.
Yifei was not mistaken; the person he had just seen was indeed Gu Zhiyao.
Gu Zhiyao brought her child to the most bustling business district in D City to familiarize herself with the surroundings. When she saw a large screen on a high-rise building broadcasting the results of the D City mayoral election, she immediately stopped and stared at it for a long time until the entire report ended.
Yea!
When the adorable cries came, Gu Zhiyao came to her senses. Looking down at the little girl in the stroller, her eyes immediately showed a loving and joyful expression. She said softly, "An'an, isn't it lively here? You like it here too, right? Mommy will take you out more often in the future. When you grow up, Mommy will take you to other places. Then, Mommy will bring your brother back too. Then you and your brother will live a happy and fulfilling life."
Thinking about these wonderful dreams, Gu Zhiyao's inner resolve grew stronger and stronger.
Time flies like an arrow, and five years have passed in the blink of an eye.
These five years were both extremely difficult and miraculous for Gu Zhiyao. As Xiao Lin said, she paid a heavy price to be reborn from the ashes and became the executive vice mayor of a very economically developed city in Canada!
A month ago, stories about this Chinese-Canadian female mayor were everywhere in D City, Canada, but no one knew who she was or how she came to be there. Her experiences five years ago were a blank. All people knew was that in the past five years, she had used her wisdom, her hard work, and her legendary story to gradually enter people's field of vision and gain the respect and admiration of countless people. In this election, she was successfully elected as the executive deputy mayor of D City with a score 3 votes higher than her opponent!
The youngest and only female Chinese mayor in the history of City D!
Standing in front of the luxurious and imposing municipal building in D City, Gu Zhiyao recalled the bits and pieces of the past five years. What she felt in her heart was not the joy and pride of success, but the bitterness, loneliness and sorrow of the inhuman pain and heavy price she had paid to reach this goal.
As she stepped into the magnificent building, her colleagues greeted her warmly, their eyes filled with friendliness, admiration, and respect.
In less than a month since she took office, she has acted swiftly and decisively, maintained an upright style, and achieved remarkable political results, further confirming that everyone was certain that they had not made the wrong choice in selecting her.
Of course, Gu Zhiyao knew that this was just the beginning, and she would have to work even harder to achieve her other goal.
There are sister city relationships between countries. City D in Canada has always cooperated with Cloud City in China. This year marks the tenth anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two cities. They are preparing for the largest project in history. The city government will send a team to Cloud City to negotiate and start cooperation. She wants to win the spot to lead the team and then start the most important wish and plan in her life!
