Isn't that embarrassing?
Especially since Li Xiuyuan was the county magistrate's secretary at the time, and Wu Yiyi was the secretary of the executive deputy county magistrate, it's hard to say what the relationship between the two was like.
But judging from how Li Xiuyuan addresses "Sister Yiyi" now, the two obviously have a good relationship; otherwise, simply calling him "Secretary Wu" would have been enough to show their attitude.
"I saw your car at the door just now. What kind of dinner is it?" Wu Yiyi asked directly. She and Li Xiuyuan weren't so formal with each other, so she asked directly.
"The volunteer teachers are going back early, so this is kind of a farewell dinner."
"You're still getting involved in these things?" Wu Yiyi was a little surprised. She thought Li Xiuyuan was having dinner with some bureau chief.
Seeing that Li Xiuyuan and Wu Yiyi had started chatting, Zheng Zhihong and Tian Wei gave up the space and returned to the private room.
Only Li Xiuyuan and Wu Yiyi remained in the corridor.
“Yes, how can I not care? I’m currently in charge of education in the town, while County Chief Gu is in charge of education in the county. I might have to report to County Chief Gu sometime. Sister Yiyi, please make some arrangements for me and see when County Chief Gu is in a good mood,” Li Xiuyuan explained half-jokingly.
"Alright, stop talking nonsense. I heard you've done a good job with the new rural construction in Meilin Village. County Chief Yun is very supportive of you. They've already held a meeting and are going to give you full financial support. A sum of money will be transferred next week. I don't know how many people are envious of this money. You'd better keep a close eye on it."
"That's for sure..."
As the two were chatting, Wei Ke wanted to use the restroom in Li Xiuyuan's private room. However, she was a little unsteady when she got up, so Su Ziying was going to accompany her. But as soon as she opened the door, Wei Ke poked her head out and then shrank back in.
"What's wrong? Are you alright?" Su Ziying quickly helped Wei Ke up from behind.
"It's nothing. Mayor Li is chatting with a girl, and they seem to be having a good time," Wei Ke said.
"Really?" Su Ziying also peeked out and glanced down the corridor.
Li Xiuyuan, having had a few drinks, leaned against the corridor wall, his eyes slightly glazed with intoxication. Wu Yiyi, with her hands behind her back, was a little shorter than Li Xiuyuan, but when she spoke, she always slightly raised her pale chin, her eyes meeting his. At that moment, something Li Xiuyuan said made Wu Yiyi smile happily.
Seeing this scene before her, Su Ziying felt a little uncomfortable.
But at that moment, Wei Ke added fuel to the fire, saying, "These two do look like a good match."
She meant no harm, but Su Ziying interpreted it differently. What did she mean? That the two of them were indeed a good match, and that what she said earlier about Li Xiuyuan being a good match for her was a lie?
In particular, Li Xiuyuan had quickly offered an explanation to distance himself from the matter.
Thinking of this, Su Ziying walked out of the private room somewhat willfully and called out, "Brother Li."
Su Ziying's voice was originally clear and crisp, but after drinking, it became a little sticky, and when she called out at this time, it had a stronger sense of coquetry.
Wu Yiyi's gaze immediately turned over. Li Xiuyuan hadn't expected that Su Ziying would come out of the private room and call out to him from so far away.
He immediately looked a little embarrassed; he had never encountered this situation before.
"So these are the volunteer teachers from your central town? No wonder Mayor Li cares so much about education!" Wu Yiyi said sourly, looking at Su Ziying with a hint of jealousy.
These words made Li Xiuyuan even more embarrassed. The female teacher who called him "Brother Li" and the town mayor who cared about education were full of sarcasm. Unfortunately, he couldn't explain at this moment. Li Xiuyuan, who usually had a quick mind, suddenly had a mental block.
