Why don't you believe I'm a reincarnated person?

Chapter 19 Hindering someone's progress is like killing their parents.

"It's Chinese New Year."

"It's a pleasure to have a drink together as a family."

Ye Kai presented the two bottles of Fenjiu liquor he had brought from 88, said a few auspicious words, and then Shen Jiayi led him to wash his hands.

family?

This kid really doesn't consider himself an outsider at all!

Who gave him the courage?

Shen Mingsun, holding a bottle of liquor, looked at his wife Jiang Xin, suddenly feeling as if they had let a wolf into their house.

"I told you, this date wasn't right."

Jiang Xin tapped Shen Mingsun's waist with her finger and muttered softly.

Damn it!

I think I just blurted something out!

"Splash, splash—"

As Ye Kai washed his hands, he reflected on his behavior just now, flicked the water droplets off his fingers, and dried them.

Looking at myself in the mirror in front of the sink, I was young and handsome, with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression and a firm and positive gaze. No wonder I'm so popular with young girls.

He turned to look at Shen Jiayi and found that the academically gifted beauty didn't seem unhappy at all. Instead, she was laughing like a little fox who had just stolen a chicken, hehehehehehe—

Why are you laughing so happily?

"I'm warning you, don't you dare have any improper thoughts about me!"

Ye Kai and Shen Jiayi exchanged a few whispered words before sitting down at the dining table.

"First of all, I want to thank Xiaoye for helping our daughter improve her Chinese language scores, which has given her more confidence in pursuing her ideal university."

"Secondly, I want to thank Xiao Ye for her two helpful tips, which have been a great help to our family."

"Enough with the unnecessary words, let's drink to that!"

There must be a reason for inviting someone to dinner, and Shen Mingsun had a perfectly legitimate reason for inviting Ye Kai to dinner. He raised his glass and spoke enthusiastically.

"Cheers!"

The four men raised their glasses, clinked them together, and then each drank.

"Dinner's ready!"

"Don't put your chopsticks down, don't be shy!"

Shen Mingsun beckoned to Ye Kai and took the lead in picking up food with his chopsticks.

"This braised lion's head meatball dish is a complete success!"

"Did Uncle Shen hire the chef from Xinghualou? This is absolutely delicious!"

Ye Kai naturally didn't hold back, commenting on the dishes as he ate. He knew that the more relaxed he was, the happier the host would be.

"You flatter me, you flatter me!"

Shen Mingsun was delighted to receive praise for his cooking skills and laughed heartily.

Four braised lion's head meatballs were served, one for each person, and everyone ate them clean.

As someone who cooks, seeing my creations so popular is naturally the happiest thing, and the little bit of frustration I felt earlier instantly vanished.

During the meal, Ye Kai couldn't help but ask Jiang Xin about her.

"It's all taken care of."

"I really didn't expect my men to be so bold..."

Mentioning this matter, Jiang Xin couldn't help but secretly wipe away a cold sweat.

Affected by the negative factors of the US subprime mortgage crisis and financial tsunami, the domestic economy was also dragged down, and relatively active investment stimulus policies had to be implemented. In the past two years, the economy has indeed shown signs of rapid recovery, and the banking industry has naturally been the first to bear the brunt. However, the old tradition of "strict control leads to stagnation, and deregulation leads to chaos" has resurfaced.

As the real estate industry has rapidly gained prominence in the national economy, commercial banks have allocated a significant proportion of their lending to this sector, leading to a mix of legitimate and illegitimate loans and numerous problems.

However, these problems are deliberately downplayed or ignored due to the overall strong profitability, which creates significant hidden dangers.

"There are reports that the central bank will introduce regulations for the supervision of commercial banks this year."

Although it was unclear how Jiang Xin handled those issues, Ye Kai still provided an important piece of information in a rather veiled manner.

How did you know?

"Although this matter has been discussed, everyone believes that it is unlikely to be resolved in the short term."

Jiang Xin looked at Ye Kai with some surprise, not understanding why a high school student like him would speak so confidently about policy information that even industry insiders were not very clear about.

"I'm a reincarnated person, so it's not surprising that I know some inside information in advance."

Ye Kai laughed, picked up a piece of braised pork, put it on a plate, poured some aged vinegar on it, and then ate it in one bite.

A reborn person? Heh—

Strange!

Shen Mingsun and Jiang Xin exchanged glances, not taking Ye Kai's words seriously, simply assuming that he was unwilling to reveal the source of the information.

Judging from the two secret plans Ye Kai provided earlier, Ye Kai must have a very powerful person backing him up. Otherwise, how could he, an ordinary high school student from a small city, have known such important information in advance?

Since he is unwilling to reveal the true source of the information, it means that the matter is of great importance and inconvenient to disclose. In that case, everyone should just pretend not to know.

"Uncle Shen should be able to get promoted this time, right?"

Ye Kai raised a question that he was particularly concerned about.

According to past practice, cadres who have made a big splash like him are usually promoted one level on the spot.

During Shen Mingsun's time leading the team in the competition in Beijing, he not only did a solid and excellent job, but also made a big splash on CCTV's 7 o'clock news. Even a promotion on the spot would have been a conservative approach.

"It's not that easy."

"After the holiday, I'll probably be given the title of Executive Director, but that's all."

"As for becoming the official head? Heh, there's no such thing as a quick rise to the top."

"I am already very satisfied with this opportunity."

To everyone's surprise, Shen Mingsun shook his head repeatedly after hearing this.

The opportunity was indeed excellent, but unfortunately he was incompetent.

Due to the recent significant changes in Xinghua City, several people left the scene in disappointment, and the mayor was even transferred to a neighboring city. The vacant position at the division chief level became the main target of everyone's pursuit.

If Shen Mingsun had a strong background to support him, he could have directly taken the position of the city government leader this time. Unfortunately, he was a technical cadre, and reaching the position of deputy mayor was already the limit. Being included in the standing committee was an unexpected surprise. How could he have any more expectations?

"I heard that a young cadre will be parachuted in. He's not even 35 years old yet. He's a PhD graduate from overseas, an academic, and knows about economics. He should have a fairly strong background. Even if he comes to Xinghua City, he won't stay long. He'll just be a temporary measure before moving to a higher position."

Because it involved his own affairs, Shen Mingsun couldn't help but say a few more words, feeling a sense of regret.

"Indeed, it is already extremely difficult to gain a foothold in the mundane world, let alone stand out from the crowd."

Hearing him say that, Ye Kai suddenly thought of a sentence and couldn't help but sigh.

and many more!

A PhD graduate from overseas, not even 35 years old, or parachuted in?

This situation sounds vaguely familiar...

"Uncle Shen, what's this person's name?"

Ye Kai seemed to have thought of something, so he hurriedly asked.

"Chu Zhongtian."

Shen Mingsun didn't hide it, after all, it was already a semi-public situation, so there was no harm in talking about it.

"Lin Dan Da!"

"So it really was him!"

Ye Kai nodded, becoming even more certain of his guess, and some information about this person gradually surfaced in his mind.

"Hindering someone's progress is like killing their parents."

"Uncle Shen, do you want to get this opportunity back?"

Ye Kai pondered for a moment, his restless heart could no longer be contained. A voice urged him to do something, so he finally made up his mind and said to Shen Mingsun.

"ah?!"

"Can this really work?" Shen Mingsun stared at Ye Kai in disbelief.

At this moment, Ye Kai seemed to no longer be a high school student in his eyes, but a great Yin-Yang Master with the words "rare commodity" prominently displayed on his forehead.
