Chapter 21



I said, "Yes."

놛 changed the subject and joked, "Your sister-in-law Zheng Shujuan is also here, shouldn't you and Qingwan invite her?"

I slapped my thigh and shouted, "That's a must!"

She glared at me, but I pretended not to notice and said to her mysteriously, "I'll take you and my sister-in-law to an interesting place at five o'clock tonight."

That evening, I drove to "Yancai Jixian" with Zhang Xiaodong and his wife and Qingwan.

Lin Xun was waiting at the door early and greeted the four of us warmly.

She went up to Zhang Xiaodong and shook his hand, saying, "I was wondering why I heard the magpie when I woke up this morning. It turns out that a distinguished guest has arrived. Welcome to the county governor, Mr. Zhang. Please forgive me for my impoliteness."

Zhang Xiaodong laughed and pointed at me and said, "The magpie that Mr. Lin mentioned is 놛, right? It was 놛 who tipped you off, right?"

We understood each other and smiled at each other.

Lin Xun exchanged pleasantries with Zheng Shujuan and Zhu Qingwan, and then led us into the private room with the words "Bao 눓 Sheng Hui" written on it.

I asked Lin Xun in advance to arrange Chinese cuisine tonight, using our local specialties as ingredients to highlight local characteristics.

The chef's cooking skills are superb and the dishes are delicious and attractive. Even the worldly-wise Zhang Xiaodong couldn't stop praising them.

Lin Xun said, "Today is your family dinner, so I won't keep you company. Please enjoy your meal."

After she finished speaking, she smiled and walked away. I glanced at Zheng Shujuan and Zhu Qingwan. The contents in their eyes were completely different. Zheng Shujuan's eyes were burning with blazing flames. After all, Lin Xun was a dragon among men in every aspect, and it was hard not to make people of the same sex jealous. But Qingwan's eyes were flowing with a trickling stream, which was a woman's recognition and appreciation from the bottom of her heart for another woman.

We ate happily and chatted, and drank only a little. After all, I was traveling with my wife, so I couldn't drink too much.

Lin Xun wanted to arrange for us to take a hot spring bath, but we politely declined.

On the way back, I received a text message from Lin Xun: Guan Hongjun, you are so lucky to have married a beautiful, gentle and virtuous wife.

I replied: Thank you! I am very satisfied with my arrangement tonight.

She asked: What are you satisfied with? The food? The environment? The service?

I replied: I am satisfied with everything, including you. The food is delicious and you are a feast for the eyes!

She replied with one word: Get lost!

After returning home, Qing Wan said with emotion: "This Ms. Lin is not only beautiful, but also smart and capable. As a woman, I would fall for her, let alone you lecherous men."

I bared my teeth, made a disdainful expression, and said casually: "Women, whether they are ugly or beautiful, they always look the same, especially when the lights are turned off, they are still climbing mountains and swimming in rivers."

Qingwan blushed with shame and moved to kick me, saying, "Guan Hongjun, you are becoming more and more obscene. In your eyes, is any woman okay?"

I took her into my arms and kissed her lightly on the lips. Soon she leaned softly in my arms. At first I thought she was too excited to control herself, but when I heard her breathing getting faster and faster, I knew something was wrong.

I looked up at her face and saw that her lips were purple and her eyes were dazed.

I asked her anxiously, "What's wrong, Qingwan?"

After a while, she woke up as if from a dream and muttered to herself: "What happened just now? I feel dizzy."

She was obviously unconscious for a moment, and I joked, "You came so easily and fainted?"

She pinched my elbow, then lay down on the sofa, exhausted. After she evened out her breathing, she said softly, "It's okay. It's always like this lately. It might be because of the medicine I'm taking."

I asked her concernedly, "What's wrong with you? What medicine are you taking?"

She glared at me in mock anger and said quietly, "Silly boy, didn't I tell you that I wanted a baby? The doctor prescribed me goserelin to downregulate my blood sugar."

I was skeptical, but then I found the instructions for the drug in my medicine cabinet. I saw in the side effects column that it could cause fainting and shortness of breath, so I felt relieved.

A week later, Wang Yanshu called me and asked me to go to her office in the Economic Development Zone. I couldn't stay in the county forever, so I was preparing to return to the town from the county seat to work, so I stopped by.

Seeing me being unusually friendly, she personally served me tea and water. I was somewhat flattered and teased her, "If you are so attentive to me for no reason, you are either a thief or a thief. Tell me, how are you going to exploit me?"

Her expression froze there, and she said to me with a sad face, "In your heart, is my sister so unbearable?"

Looking at her expression, I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She took out 30,000 yuan in cash from the drawer of her desk and threw it in front of me, saying angrily, "I always keep my word and do what I say. This is your investment bonus. I have already signed it for you in the finance department. Count it and see if it's less, so you don't always suspect me."

I accepted it with a clear conscience, put the money in my purse, crossed my legs leisurely, and said slowly, "Sister, we both owe each other nothing. If there is nothing else, I will go back to town."

She sat down next to me and no longer needed to put on a show. She said to me in a grateful tone, "Hongjun, Shaojia and I want to thank you for speaking well of us to County Mayor Zhang. The organization department has already talked to us and we are ready to go to the Policy Research Office of the county government."

Everything was as expected, but I still had to be polite, so I said in a nonchalant tone: "Don't say thank you, I can only say that Principal Xu is a person who deserves his position. This position in the Policy Research Office is tailor-made for you."

Wang Yanshu smiled and said, "Since you are here, I will walk with you."

It just so happened that I also wanted to meet Lao Wu, so I readily agreed.

Arriving at the workshop in the Economic Development Zone, one sees a bustling scene with construction workers coming and going, and the main structures of many factories taking shape.
