As it turned out, Li Xiuyuan sent a message first. Su Ziying slowly stopped, steadied her breathing, and opened her phone.
"I worked late last night, and I have to go to the county to report to the leaders today. I need to organize some materials, so I can't go for a run."
Su Ziying stared blankly at the message. It wasn't a big deal that Li Xiuyuan wasn't coming to run, but the fact that he had sent a message specifically about it made her feel uneasy.
After a while, she started typing, and typed, "It's okay, work is important."
But then I felt that the tone was too polite, so I deleted it and typed out "Okay, I understand." Then I deleted it again. The tone made it sound like I was the deputy mayor.
A smile appeared on Su Ziying's lips, and then she typed another word: "Okay."
With just that one word, Su Ziying pressed the send button, then put her phone in her pocket and started running, but a faint smile remained on her face.
In the dormitory in the central town, Li Xiuyuan also received a message from Su Ziying. He glanced at it, smiled, and put his phone in his pocket. He didn't intend to reply. This was the first time he had sent a message, and he wanted to make it seem as innocent as possible.
After arriving at work in the morning, Li Xiuyuan dealt with his tasks and then drove towards the county. He could have easily found someone to drive him, but as a deputy town mayor and a young man, having someone else drive him to the county would make people think he was putting on too much airs.
When the car arrived at the county government compound, it was nearly nine o'clock. After parking the car, Li Xiuyuan walked directly towards the county government office.
After arriving at the county government office, Li Xiuyuan greeted some acquaintances and went directly to Li Boyang's office. Seeing that Li Xiuyuan had arrived so early, Li Boyang quickly asked him to sit down and then said that County Chief Yun was still in a meeting.
"It's okay, I came a little early to wait. Brother Li, you can go about your business, don't worry about me." Li Xiuyuan said with a smile, while looking around the office. Since Li Boyang moved in, the layout was almost the same as his original one, and it hadn't been changed much.
Li Boyang was too busy with his own things to attend to. He called out to Li Xiuyuan as "Brother Li," but he knew how he got here today. If it weren't for Li Xiuyuan, he would still be a clerk in the General Affairs Department, and he wouldn't be enjoying such a glorious day.
Besides, having spent a long time with Yun Yanchang, he understood how much Yun Yanchang valued Li Xiuyuan, something he himself couldn't compare to. He knew he still needed to stick close to Li Xiuyuan in the future, so he brewed some tea for Li Xiuyuan and chatted with him.
Just as Li Xiuyuan picked up his teacup to take a sip, there was a knock on the office door, and a familiar female voice came from inside: "Brother Li, I have a report here that I need to send to Yun County..."
"Secretary Wu."
Upon hearing this, Li Boyang stood up, and Li Xiuyuan also turned to look.
"Xiuyuan".
"Sister Yiyi," Li Xiuyuan greeted Wu Yiyi with a smile.
"Xiuyuan, when did you get back?" Wu Yiyi asked, looking at Li Xiuyuan with a hint of surprise on her face.
