Sighing, Chen Hao raised his glass toward Yang Xiaoyou in the bustling evening food stall, and without a second thought, he downed the drink.
Sitting across from him, Yang Xiaoyou could only manage a bitter smile. Liu Lianyue had indeed caused quite a bit of trouble.
After Liu Lianyue left in frustration, Chen Hao dragged himself to this food stall to drink. It was unclear whether he was heartbroken over being deceived by Liu Lianyue's facade or if he was simply sad about their impending separation. Regardless, he found himself in this state.
"I heard that Director committed suicide. Now I can leave with a bit more peace of mind. You’re not honest; although I didn’t see it myself, if you want to kick that fellow, you better have some skills. Was it Qi Qiusheng who forced you into this?" Chen Hao slurred, his words slightly tangled as he shook his glass.
"Hey, even when you're not around, I have to find a way to protect myself. You had plenty of people who couldn’t stand you back then; what if they come after me?" Yang Xiaoyou replied without denying it.
"Alright, drink less. You’ll definitely find your soft girl. I won’t be seeing you off tomorrow; if you get too drunk and miss your flight, I don’t know how you’ll manage," Yang Xiaoyou said as he took the bottle from Chen Hao and rolled his eyes at him. Ignoring the fellow's ramblings, he settled the bill and helped him out of the stall. Hopefully, Chen Hao would soon find his true girlfriend and this time wouldn’t cause any trouble.
After escorting the drunken Chen Hao home, Yang Xiaoyou tossed him onto the couch and brewed a cup of sobering tea for him.
"Get some rest. In two years when it's time for college entrance exams, Menglu and I will work hard to get into schools in the capital. I still have to attend that ridiculous party initiation ceremony tonight; I’m leaving now."
With a casual wave of his hand, Yang Xiaoyou closed the door behind him and headed toward City Song Courtyard.
The Common Unity Party had decent influence here; City Song Courtyard must have connections with them since they had been holding initiation ceremonies here even before they were officially recognized.
For now, although joining the Common Unity Party brought some daily inconveniences, it also helped alleviate pressure on him. At least whenever he made a move, he could use this affiliation as a shield. "Hmm, it seems like this period will indeed be one of rapid development," Yang Xiaoyou mused as he looked at the banner and the crowd at Song Dao Courtyard.
He realized that on a spiritual level, he needed to start grasping the concept of momentum. The current development of the Common Unity Party was also a kind of shift in momentum.
However, unlike personal teams or ordinary groups, they were leveraging real momentum. When everyone was benefiting from the Common Unity Party’s success, even those who believed it was flawed would easily be influenced in such an environment if their resolve wasn’t strong enough.
The rise of the Common Unity Party seems unstoppable at this point. The only buffer is that the next elections for the ruling party and Prime Minister of the Chinese Empire are four years away. During this time, the current ruling party and several opposition parties will not allow things to continue as they are.
"As long as we achieve relative equality, regardless of a person's status, everyone has their own human rights. Even if we are hungry, our spirits remain fulfilled," said a young man with a slogan band tied around his head, his face flushed with excitement.
Hearing such remarks, Yang Xiaoyou couldn't help but furrow his brow. Since the recent Virus Incident at the airport, this kind of rhetoric seems to have become increasingly extreme, with contradictions becoming glaringly obvious. Many people appear to be in a state of brainwashing.
A restless atmosphere seems to have swept across the nation.
"To not even care about being hungry and only seek to satisfy their empty souls? Sigh, I really can't understand their mindset. If they truly end up starving, they'll probably be the first to complain," Yang Xiaoyou shook his head and walked toward Song Dao Courtyard. Everything has its limits; whether in power or in opposition, neither side can afford to go too far.
Although there are many people here, most are not members of the Common Unity Party. Currently, the party is not overly complacent; their selection process for formal members remains relatively strict. They understand that internal decay is the most fatal.
What will happen in the future is unpredictable. At least during this expansion period, barring any special circumstances, it is essential to maintain vigilance. Yang Xiaoyou pondered that if it weren't for Liu Lianyue's position recommending him, it would have been quite difficult for him to join.
"You're so slow," Liu Lianyue said as she leaned against the back door of Song Dao Courtyard, rolling her eyes at Yang Xiaoyou, who was approaching slowly.
At this moment, her hair was dyed red again. She wore a form-fitting top that accentuated her impressive figure and had a vest on top that was unbuttoned, revealing her navel. Her pants outlined her curves beautifully.
The brim of her hat cast a shadow over most of her expression.
"Hey, you were supposed to arrive at eight; you're not late now," Yang Xiaoyou remarked after sizing her up.
Despite her attire, Liu Lianyue exuded a unique charm and an air of wildness.
However, it seemed that due to her still-healing injuries, even with the hat obscuring part of her face, she appeared somewhat pale. The impact from Huang Jing's heavy blow had caused significant damage; she likely had just been discharged from the hospital recently.
"You were supposed to arrive right on time at eight! You're really going to drive me crazy," Liu Lianyue said in frustration before suddenly coughing repeatedly as if something had caught in her throat.
Seeing the other person's behavior, Yang Xiaoyou lost interest in arguing with her. After all, she had taken a significant risk to help deal with Huang Jing back then.
After coughing for a moment and taking a breath to calm herself, Liu Lianyue hoarsely said, "Follow me. Consider this a favor for you, but don't embarrass yourself. Your performance during our first meeting made it clear that you have your own abilities, but you're just too lazy and afraid of trouble. I usually don't want to push you too hard, but today you shouldn't let others look down on you. Otherwise, if you don't join our faction, it will be tough for you to navigate within the party in the future."
Although she wanted to say, "I never intended to get involved in the party anyway," she held back upon hearing the hoarse and weak voice and seeing the other person's gait. Of course, while she didn't argue back, her performance would definitely be average.
Using the Common Unity Party as a shield seemed fine at first, but getting too deeply involved could lead to complications.
"I was in the Quarantine Zone back then; you have no idea what it was like. The police were shooting innocent people! I saw it with my own eyes at the door! The bloodshed was horrific; everyone in the hallway was killed! Hmph! If he hadn't had a gun, I would have rushed out and fought him. You were supposed to protect us, police! Not only did you block us from leaving when we weren't infected, but you also committed such heinous acts. It's truly disheartening." A young man with decent looks stood before the crowd recounting his experience; he was Chen Kai from the Cat People incident.
The crowd around him expressed their anger and frustration, continuously complaining about this and that. Just as Chen Kai was about to say something else, he suddenly spotted a familiar figure passing by in front of him.
Let me reiterate: I do not take a stance or reflect on reality. Although I wrote negatively about the Common Unity Party, they are certainly not all like that.
Just like recently during the protests over Diaoyu Island, most of those who participated under high temperatures were commendable. However, some individuals—whether pretending to be ignorant or acting intentionally—took the opportunity to vandalize their fellow countrymen's vehicles, which was unacceptable. Many Japanese cars were actually made with domestic parts, and the ones paying for them were also locals. This completely changed the tone of the protest.
In any era, there will always be such fellows who hide well during peaceful times but reveal their true nature during chaos. There is no doubt that there are such people within the Common Unity Party; however, most members are passionate and well-intentioned, though sometimes they are influenced by misinformation.
Well, ultimately what I want to convey is that this is a fictional world entirely unrelated to reality. The real-life example I mentioned was just for clarity; there was no other intention! Talented Scholar
