Xu Wen leaned over and pecked him on the cheek with a smile, saying, "Don't be stunned, pack up your things and go back quickly. Mayor Qian, oh... now you should call him Secretary Qian, he is still waiting for you in Pingyang. If love lasts for a long time, it doesn't matter if we are together day and night. No matter where you are, no matter where I am, our hearts are together, don't you agree?"

"Yes, no matter where you are, my heart is with you." Li Lin nodded, with a hint of emotion in his eyes. He reached out and gently held Xu Wen's hand, as if conveying a firm promise.

At this time, Qian Lingyun was pacing restlessly in the Municipal Party Committee Office.

His steps were hurried and messy. He stopped from time to time to pick up the phone on the table and answer reports on Ma Qingyuan's situation.

After each phone call, his brows furrowed even more.

Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he stopped abruptly and looked a little flustered.

He wondered if he should report this to Wang Jin first so that he could have a psychological sense of expectation.

Don't let Ma Qingyuan die by then, and things will become irreversible. It will be even more difficult for me to explain, and I can only let Wang Jin scold me.

Scolding him is no big deal. Now the Pingyang Municipal Party Committee is in a turbulent period. Whether he can be promoted as the acting municipal party committee secretary depends on Wang Jin's attitude!

What if this incident affected his impression in Wang Jin's mind, and Wang Jin got angry and sent someone down again? Wouldn't he be extremely embarrassed?

By then, people like Tang Yiming would definitely laugh at him!

Thinking of this, Qian Lingyun took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

He dialed Wang Jin's office phone, holding the receiver, his palms sweating with nervousness.

The phone rang three times and then was connected.

Qian Lingyun said anxiously, "Secretary Wang, I am Qian Lingyun..."

"Oh, Lingyun, have you completed the task assigned to you in Pingyang by the Discipline Inspection Commission?" Wang Jin asked straight to the point, his voice a little lazy.

Now that big guys like Lu Chengze and Chu Guoan have been brought to justice, it is enough for the Municipal Party Committee to deal with small minions like Ma Qingyuan.

He still had great confidence in Qian Lingyun and was sure that he would be able to do the job well.

But what he didn't expect was that this matter was messed up by Qian Lingyun!

Qian Lingyun smiled awkwardly and said, "Secretary, I was just about to report this to you..."

"What's going on?" Wang Jin raised his voice. He had sensed from Qian Lingyun's tone that something unexpected might have happened.

Qian Lingyun was even more nervous. He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the force. He said with a stiff face, "Secretary, this is what happened. When our people arrived at the Shannan County Government, Ma Qingyuan jumped from the third floor of the government. Fortunately, he survived, but he is currently receiving treatment and cannot be interrogated for the time being."

"What?!" Wang Jin was furious, frowning, his voice full of anger and disappointment, and questioned, "Qian Lingyun, you can't even handle such a small matter? Humph, it seems that I overestimated you. I think you need to think carefully about your administration of Pingyang! That's it!"

"Pah~"

Wang Jin hung up the phone without waiting for Qian Lingyun to explain.

The sound of hanging up was particularly harsh in Qian Lingyun's ears, like a heavy hammer hitting his heart hard.

Qian Lingyun sat down in frustration, his face full of worry, his eyes filled with loss and helplessness, he seemed to have lost all his strength, he slumped in the chair, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
