Madam Zheng noticed this and offered the kitchen to the two of them, then went to the main room to make tea.

Chen Yongnian sat down, reached out and touched Wan Qiqi's still somewhat cold hand, rubbed it a couple of times, and then put it inside his clothes.

Wan Qiqi was surprised by Chen Yongnian's actions and abruptly withdrew her hand.

Chen Yongnian didn't let her pull it away, saying, "Leave it here, it'll keep you warm."

Feeling the warmth, Wan Qiqi didn't try to pull away, brazenly placing her hand in his chest and tilting her head to ask, "Can't you talk to them?"

“No.” Chen Yongnian shook his head, his brows furrowing even deeper. “Lord Fang gave me a choice: to become a clerk in the criminal investigation department or a head constable in the fast-track squad.”

Wan Qiqi was taken aback. Why wasn't Fang Ziming following the expected pattern?

A fast-track officer becoming a constable?

Is this a direct appointment of Chen Yongnian as the leader?

Although Wan Qiqi was somewhat shocked, she calmly asked, "What is the 'Yearly Supervisor' in the Criminal Division?"

Chen Yongnian explained, "The Criminal Investigation Department is one of the six departments. The head of the Criminal Investigation Department is Jing Cheng, and the deputy head is Guan Nian."

this……

Wan Qiqi was speechless for a moment.

Is Fang Ziming playing this big game?

Chen Yongnian continued, "If I go to the advanced class, I won't be able to take the civil service exam in the future. But if I go to the criminal investigation department, I can't read..." He felt more that he was not up to the task.

He went from being a commoner to becoming a foreman in the county government. He wasn't confident he could do a good job and was afraid of bringing shame to the Chen family.

Wan Qiqi was still wondering if Fang Ziming was serious.

Why did they not only make Chen Yongnian the leader, but also give him the right to choose?

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Could Fang Ziming have some new ideas again?

Inside the house, Chen Lizheng also raised the same question.

"Lord Fang, are you sure you're giving him these two positions?"
