Chapter 9: Huh? Are they related?



"Send someone to follow from a distance." Liu Yong ordered Lu Yu Ming.

There are two main meanings here. One is to ensure the safety of provincial leaders, and the other is to promptly grasp the problems discovered by leaders during the visit so that they can be dealt with.

Li Lin led the way in front, always keeping a body length distance from Li Lan behind him, not too far or too close. This way he could hear Li Lan's request clearly while making Li Lan not feel so embarrassed.

Li Lan took steps carefully, trying not to make any noise, but his eyes never left the figure in front of him - Li Lin.

He followed closely, but didn't dare to get too close, for fear of being discovered. Looking at the tall and strong figure in front of her, she was filled with curiosity and doubt.

As she walked, she carefully observed Li Lin's back.

He is tall and walks steadily, and every step he takes seems so confident and determined.

His hair was combed neatly, and his clothes, although not branded, were clean and tidy.

He exudes a noble and elegant temperament. Who could tell that this man grew up in the countryside?

These details made Li Lan more curious about him, and she couldn't wait to get to know this mysterious man.

"Where did you go to college? What was your major?" Li Lan asked as calmly as possible.

Li Lin didn't expect Li Lan to ask him personal questions outside of work. He turned around and smiled and said, "Hanjiang University, studying law."

"Haven't you ever thought about becoming a famous lawyer after graduation? Why do you want to join the system?"

Li Lin said frankly, "I thought about it and interned at a classmate's firm for a while. But then my aunt, who raised me, suddenly fell ill, so I gave up the job to take care of her. Since then, I decided to stay with my aunt. As she got older, she needed someone around her, so I took the Pingyang City civil service exam."

"Well, you are very filial." Looking at Li Lin's back getting farther and farther away, Li Lan felt an indescribable sadness in his heart.

If someone else heard Li Lin talking about this past today, they would definitely ask, "Where are your parents?" But Li Lan didn't. She even knew Li Lin's life experience better than Li Lin.

"Have you ever had a girlfriend in school? How about now? Do you have a girlfriend?" Li Lan asked with interest.

Li Lin smiled politely, "I dated someone in school, but now... I'm single."

"Why did you break up?" Li Lan became more and more curious about his experience.

Li Lin had already let it go, and said calmly, "It's nothing, her family is well-off, I heard her parents are high-ranking officials in the provincial capital, and they went abroad to study right after graduation..."

A high-ranking official in the provincial capital? Did he look down on Li Lin because he came from a rural background? Did he dislike his lack of background? Li Lan immediately thought of these things.

She frowned slightly, but soon felt relieved. Indeed, someone with such shortsightedness was not worthy of Li Lin at all!

"Don't be discouraged. I will introduce you to a girl with better conditions when I have the chance! Let those who once looked down on you regret it!" Li Lan had a stubborn look on his face and didn't bother to consider whether his words would seem abrupt.

Li Lin's body obviously froze. It felt unreal that Li Lan was saying these words to him... It was as if he had suddenly entered an absurd dream.

He couldn't help but start to doubt his ears, but when he saw Li Lan's sincere eyes, his doubts were gradually dispelled. Li Lan's expression was not false at all, and every word she said was sincere and affirmative.

Li Lin took a deep breath and tried to calm his heart. This feeling was too strange. He had never thought that one day a provincial government leader would take the initiative to introduce him to a date.

What does this mean? Does she really admire his talent, or does she simply feel sorry for his life? But this is clearly the first time they met! Countless questions came to Li Lin's mind, making him confused.

Seeing the puzzled look on Li Lin's face, Li Lan's heart skipped a beat, realizing that it was a bit rash to say these words now. The first time they met, he offered to help him find a date... Anyone would find it incredible.

But Li Lan had served the chief for so many years, and her mental quality was so strong that there was no trace of it on her face. She smiled and said, "The provincial government has recruited many girls in recent years, and many of them are from Pingyang City. You have good qualifications, and it would be my blessing if I could help you two get together. Come on, add me on WeChat and leave me your phone number. I really want to contact you later."

Li Lin took out his cell phone with a smile, and the two of them exchanged contact information like new friends.

"Then, please take care of me in the future, Minister Li." Li Lin said with a hearty smile.

Of course I have to take care of you. In a few years, it will be your turn to take care of me! Li Lan couldn't help but think to herself, with a sweet smile like the big sister next door on her face.

Suddenly, a low roar was heard in the corridor, and a big black dog appeared behind Li Lan. Its fangs were exposed, its face was ferocious, and it pounced on Li Lan like a madman...

"Ah!" Li Lan was horrified and screamed.

In the emergency, Li Lin did not hesitate at all. He quickly pulled Li Lan behind him, used his body to build a solid shield, then picked up a brick from the ground and smashed it hard at the black dog.

The red brick hit the dog's head accurately. The big black dog let out a "woof" and fell to the ground. The danger was immediately over and Li Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

In a moment, the government workers following the two men came out one after another with sticks in their hands, and started beating the big black dog that fell to the ground... until the big black dog stopped moving, someone came forward to ask Li Lan if he was injured.
