Listening to those sarcastic comments, Shen Qiqi felt like she had swallowed a fly, and her heart was filled with anxiety.

She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails almost dug into her flesh, and a nameless anger rose up in her heart.

But she took a deep breath and told herself: "Don't bother with these gossipy women. They are just jealous that I am more capable than them!"

When she got home, she went straight to the dressing table and looked at the stubborn face in the mirror.

The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a confident smile, and she said softly: "Chen Qiqi, you are someone who wants to do great things, what does this little wind and wave mean to you? Go for it!"

Her unyielding spirit was like a flame that instantly ignited the entire room.

At this time, Lu Qing pushed the door open and came in. Seeing her cheering herself up in front of the mirror, he felt so distressed.

He walked forward, gently held her in his arms, and gently stroked her hair with his big hands, as if comforting a wounded kitten.

"Ignore the gossip," his voice was low and gentle, "I know how hard you've worked, and I'll always stand by you."

His embrace was warm and powerful, like a solid harbor, making all of Shen Qiqi's grievances disappear.

The next day, Shen Qiqi came to the town's cultural center again.

"Mr. Chen, I'd like to ask again about the information on educational development..." Shen Qiqi tried her best to keep her tone calm, but she was still a little scared.

Without even looking up, Cultural Affairs Officer Chen waved his hand impatiently, as if shooing away a fly. "What's wrong with you? Didn't they say the information was gone a long time ago? Why are you still asking?"

His attitude was even worse than last time, as if he had eaten dynamite, and every word he said was full of sting.

Shen Qiqi was instantly furious. She felt her face flush red, and a surge of anger rushed straight to the top of her head.

At this moment, Lu Qing walked out from behind her. He pulled Shen Qiqi behind him and stared at Curator Chen with sharp eyes. The look in his eyes was like a sword drawn from its sheath, making people shudder.

"My wife is speaking to you in a nice and gentle manner, so what's with your attitude?" Lu Qing's voice was low, but it carried an undeniable authority. "Don't forget, who is thinking about the children in the village!"

Curator Chen was frightened by Lu Qing's momentum, and his face became a little ugly. He opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Lu Qing sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, "It seems that some people are not suitable for working here."

He took Shen Qiqi's hand and left the cultural center without looking back, leaving Chen, the cultural center staff, standing there in a daze.

Lu Qing walked out of the door without looking back and said to Shen Qiqi behind him: "Let's go find Principal Huang."

After Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing left the cultural center, they did not go directly to find Principal Huang, but went to a small restaurant in the town.

Lu Qing ordered two bowls of hot noodles, looked at Shen Qiqi's slightly tired face, and said distressedly: "Eat something first to replenish your energy."

Shen Qiqi nodded, took the noodles, and started eating them in big mouthfuls.

After eating the hot noodles, she felt warm all over and her anger dissipated a lot.

"Lu Qing, thank you." Shen Qiqi raised her head and looked at Lu Qing gratefully, "If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I would do."

Lu Qing smiled gently: "Silly boy, we are husband and wife, there is no need to say thank you or not. You work so hard for the children, of course I have to support you."

After eating the noodles, the two went to the cultural center again.

This time, Lu Qing didn't let Shen Qiqi in, but walked in by himself.

After a while, Lu Qing came out with a few books and some information in his hands.

Shen Qiqi widened her eyes in surprise: "How did you do that?"

Lu Qing smiled mysteriously: "The hermit has his own clever plan."

It turned out that Lu Qing had already found out the weakness of curator Chen - he liked to collect antiques.

Lu Qing happened to know an antique collector, so he asked him to help find an antique that Chen Cultural Museum staff had long admired, and this was how he got these educational resources.

Shen Qiqi took the information and smiled happily.

An atmosphere of joy emanated from her, like a blooming flower, gorgeous and tempting.

Lu Qing watched with satisfaction from the side, an air of pride emanating from him, like a tall pine tree, majestic and resolute.

Back in the village, Shen Qiqi couldn't wait to show the information to Principal Huang and Teacher Liu.

When Principal Huang and Teacher Liu saw the information, they were very excited, as if they saw the dawn of hope.

That night, Lu Qing and Shen Qiqi were sorting out documents in the study.

Looking at Shen Qiqi working seriously, Lu Qing couldn't help but hug her from behind.

He looked at Shen Qiqi with fiery eyes, and the atmosphere of lust burned between the two of them, like a blazing fire, hot and strong.

Shen Qiqi's cheeks flushed, and a shy emotion spread in her heart, like a bud about to bloom, delicate and shy.

"Qiqi..." Lu Qing's voice was hoarse and low, with a hint of irrepressible desire.

Shen Qiqi's heartbeat accelerated, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

She turned around gently and looked up at Lu Qing with a hazy and gentle look in her eyes.

"Lu Qing..."

Just then, a hurried knock on the door broke the ambiguous atmosphere between the two.

"Lu Qing, Chen Qiqi, something terrible has happened!" Principal Huang's anxious voice came from outside the door, "The equipment in the laboratory..."

Principal Huang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, his voice cracking. "What should we do now? Those old guys in the lab are practically antiques. This inspection has given them a death sentence. If we don't replace them with new ones, the children won't be able to attend classes anymore!"
