I know Director Zhang

"Uncle Wang, which Director Zhang are you talking about? Maybe I know him." You must be bold and careful when you ask questions. Don't panic if you don't know him. Keep calm and hold your position.

"Director Zhang from our county's Public Security Bureau has two sons. The younger one is older than all of you." Uncle Wang glanced at Shen Roujiao in the back seat through the rearview mirror. This was the second time this girl had ridden in this car. Before this, no stranger had dared to sit in Chang Geng's seat.

"I know him." That's right, she had just knelt there.

Not only had I knelt there before, but I also felt that he looked familiar. Oh, I remembered that when the mayor and his entourage went to inspect the county high school, Director Zhang was also among them.

Her answer surprised Gu Changgeng. He first noticed Shen Roujiao at that time, when she stood in the queue and welcomed the mayor the most enthusiastically. Mayor Lu Qinglan shook hands with her, which made her so happy that her face was almost blooming with smiles!

"What a fate! You are my classmate at Chang Gung University, right?" Uncle Wang asked casually, with a strong flavor of gossip in his voice.

"I'm his senior." Shen Roujiao turned her head and smiled brightly at Gu Changgeng, "Junior, are you from the same compound as Uncle Wang?" The topic naturally turned to him, and the small radar that collected intelligence began to beep.

Uncle Wang can live in the same compound with Director Zhang, which means they both work in the county government. Uncle Wang can drive a car for my junior’s family, which means that my junior’s family is also in the government. If they also live in a compound, it means that their ranks are similar; if they don’t live in a compound, there is only one possibility...

"No!" Gu Changgeng was brief.

"How could he live with us!" Uncle Wang shook his head and glanced at Gu Changgeng sitting in the back row while he spoke.

Uncle Wang's words confirmed Shen Roujiao's guess, leaving only one possibility: a higher level. Who could be higher than the director of the county public security bureau?

Yes, county chief!

She knew the answer to this question. Ever since Zhou Huaiyue asked Duan Baisheng if his father was the county magistrate, Shen Roujiao secretly flipped through the newspaper and found out that the new county magistrate's surname was Gu, Gu Jingnian.

Glancing at Gu Changgeng next to her, Shen Roujiao silently moved closer to him, and then again, until she was a fist away from him and stopped. She asked quietly, "Your father and the county magistrate are both named Gu, right?"

"What else? Is it not possible?" Gu Changgeng's question pushed Shen Roujiao back to her original position, which also indirectly answered her doubts.

Gu Jingnian is Gu Changgeng's father and the head of a county.

Okay, that’s great.

The subsequent conversation became much easier, just casual chat without any purpose, such as talking about cars.

When talking about cars, Uncle Wang opened up completely and introduced all the existing car models in the government. He especially emphasized that the small car he was driving was a Soviet-made Volga, which was spacious and airy, had high fuel consumption, was not fast, but was comfortable.

Gu Changgeng's brows furrowed as he listened to them talking about cars. "Can you drive?"

Shen Roujiao wanted to say that she only knew how to drive an automatic, but she couldn't! "No, I heard it from other people."

…

To avoid attention, the car stopped a few hundred meters away from the small market, and the three of them walked to Shen's stall together.

Just after passing the intersection, I vaguely saw a few familiar figures in front of me.

Zhang Qingjie, Wang Li, and Qi Nanhua, I haven't seen them for a long time, not to mention I missed them so much. Shen Roujiao waved her hands excitedly, as if the fast-forward button was pressed, flying up and down, "Brother Zhang, Sister Wang, Brother Qi!"

"Young boss!" Zhang Qingjie greeted as he approached, but unexpectedly saw an old acquaintance, "Uncle Wang? Why are you here?"

"You two really know each other!" Just now in the car, when Shen Roujiao said that she also knew Director Zhang, Uncle Wang didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just a casual remark. He didn't expect that she really knew him.

This Zhang Qingjie is Director Zhang’s second son. The eldest is Zhang Qingjun, the one who gave Shen Roujiao a bicycle.

"You guys know him too?" Zhang Qingjie looked at Shen Roujiao and pointed at Uncle Wang and asked. He suddenly remembered that the wheels for assembling the Phoenix belonged to Uncle Wang, and he couldn't help but think of his brother's smirk.

"Haha, this world is so small. We just met." Shen Roujiao smiled so brightly.

It's true. I never thought that Zhang Qingjie was the director's son. To be honest, Zhang Qingjie doesn't look like his father, but his brother does. Not only does he look like him, but he also has the same ferocity.

Zhang Qingjie pointed at the person who was awkwardly silent and asked, "Who is this?"

"Oh, this is my junior fellow student." Shen Roujiao hurriedly pulled Gu Changgeng next to her a small step forward.

Hey, he was still very stubborn and forced himself back to his original position, standing next to Shen Roujiao.

Uncle Wang smiled but said nothing. Zhang Qingjie reacted immediately. He pointed upwards knowingly and Uncle Wang nodded slightly.

"Today is such a happy day, with all the big happy events happening at the same time. Let's go, I'll treat you to some delicious food!" Zhang Qingjie walked up to Uncle Wang, put his arm around his shoulders, and whispered in his ear as they walked forward, "How did you, a county magistrate's driver, end up being a nanny?"

Uncle Wang elbowed him in the stomach and said, "Don't talk nonsense, a new official has three fires when he takes office, not to mention that this is not ordinary." Uncle Wang said it very obscurely, and finally glanced at Wang Li next to Zhang Qingjie, "You are so lucky! If Director Zhang accuses you of bragging again in the future, Uncle Wang will help you to fight him back."

Later, Qi Nanhua walked with Shen Roujiao and Gu Changgeng and talked about their work in medicinal materials. Brother Qi praised Shen Roujiao again and also praised her master Zhou Huaiyue.

Gu Changgeng who was standing next to him was stunned. This senior of his was not a good girl on campus at all, but a businessman who dominated the medicinal materials market. She was too divisive and too powerful.

Also, her master seems to be very powerful.

…

After all, it was the Employee Welfare Day, and the small market was very busy, selling sugar cane, melon seeds, cigarettes, and sweet soup. When I came to the factory to watch a movie and passed by here, I would buy a few cents of food and take it back.

Business in front of the Shen family stall was still booming. Eldest brother Shen Tianhua saw that his younger sister was very happy, so he pulled her aside to ask about Wang Jianxin and Master Zhou again. Third brother Shen Tiannan invited the friends who came with them to eat, and gave Gu Changgeng, who was a stranger, extra ingredients.

Gu Changgeng, who had never eaten stinky tofu before, was reluctant at first, but Wang Li walked over and encouraged him to give it a try. Gu, who was too proud to eat it, ate the whole piece, and was so shocked that he almost turned around in circles, unable to stop.

Seeing her junior giving a thumbs up, Wang Li told Gu Changgeng mysteriously, "Your senior sister's dish is even better than this!"

"She can do this too?" Gu Changgeng spent the whole night refreshing his new understanding of his senior sister. She can do a lot, such as selling medicinal herbs, setting up stalls, and cooking delicious food. She is a good money-maker.

That night, Gu Changgeng was the happiest person eating. Since no one knew him, he didn't need to socialize. When his bowl was empty, he would stand in front of the stall and Shen Roujiao would immediately refill it for him.

Not only that, he can also learn on the spot how to pursue the goddess, secretly observe how Zhang Qingjie is courteous in front of the beautiful sister, and silently sigh in his heart: Is it really so difficult to pursue someone you like!

Because they had to go to school the next day, Shen Roujiao and Gu Changgeng had to return to the county town first. When they parted, Zhang Qingjie told Shen Roujiao that he and Wang Li would be transferred back to their units in the city together, and he could visit her in the county town in the future.

Although she knew Zhang Qingjie's true identity, Shen Roujiao did not tell him about the complaint, at least not at this stage.

On the way back to school from the market, Gu Changgeng, who had been quiet before, asked Shen Roujiao all the questions she had been asking all the way: where did she learn to make stinky tofu, and whether she had a secret recipe? The skewers were delicious, and how to make the soup? How did she learn to identify medicinal herbs, and whether she wanted to be a Chinese medicine practitioner in the future? ...

Shen Roujiao was able to patiently explain the previous questions one by one, but when he asked: What are the conditions for being your master? Is that guy named Zhou Huaiyue really that awesome?

Shen Roujiao was amused by him and laughed, "Why? Do you want to be my master too?"

It was just a joke, but Gu Changgeng took it seriously. "Yes. It must be amazing to be your master. I want to be amazing."

Wow, the young man is quite ambitious. However, even if he doesn't become her master, he can still be very powerful. Having a father who is a county governor is already quite powerful. There is no need to be more powerful.

"What a pity. If you want to be my master, my master must agree. If he doesn't agree, I have no right to do it." Shen Roujiao made up a reason just to completely dispel his unrealistic idea.

"Where is your master? I'll go ask him." Gu Changgeng replied angrily.

Thinking of Zhou Huaiyue who had no news at all, Shen Roujiao's mood fell back to the bottom. After a long silence, she looked at the silhouettes of trees flashing from time to time outside the car window and said rather sadly: "Maybe, he is still with the mayor!"

…

After waiting for a few more days, Brother Hu Zi did not come to see Shen Roujiao, but Duan Baisheng took the initiative to talk to her during the free time of physical education class.

"Student Shen Roujiao, are you very familiar with the freshman in the first year of high school?" Duan Baisheng saw them with his own eyes. They got off the car together, and the two were talking and laughing.

"Not familiar with him." Shen Roujiao had a dull expression. She didn't want to say anything more, let alone talk about her junior brother Gu, whose identity was sensitive.

Duan Baisheng was stunned. He didn't expect Shen Roujiao to lie. "But you two clearly took the car together."

"You don't necessarily have to be familiar with each other when riding in a car. You are my classmate and we go to class together every day, so we are not familiar with each other, right?" Shen Roujiao's logic was clear and her rebuttal was well-reasoned.

"Oh, that's good." Duan Baisheng was so stunned by what she said that he couldn't say anything else for a while and could only respond casually.

Suddenly, several female classmates rushed over to look for Shen Roujiao. One of them said excitedly, "That freshman who plays basketball is looking for you."

ah?

Why did Gu Changgeng want to see me during class time?

Seeing that she was stunned and didn't move, another female classmate bumped her arm and whispered, "Look up, he's coming at the three o'clock direction."

At three o'clock, Shen Roujiao's mind moved from twelve o'clock to three o'clock. Hey, it was really Gu Changgeng.

The whole class focused their attention on him. Duan Baisheng said in a sly tone, "You're not familiar with me, but I'm skipping class to come look for you!"

"Even if you don't know me well, you can still come to me during class." Shen Roujiao retorted unhappily, and Duan Baisheng became silent instantly.

"Senior sister!" Gu Changgeng's voice sounded weak, as if he had just finished running 800 meters, which tested both speed and endurance and was extremely physically demanding.

"Gu Changgeng, don't you have classes?" Shouldn't he be sitting in the classroom at this time? Why did he come here?

"I asked for leave for something important, and I rushed back to school." Junior Gu was so tired that he was panting.

"What is it?" Could it be related to her? Shen Roujiao's brain was spinning like crazy, but she couldn't come up with a conclusion.

"A letter from your master!" Gu Changgeng opened his clenched palms.
