Fortunately, Song Dongzheng borrowed a car from the county and came over. It was freezing cold, and he didn't want Su Yu to walk back in the cold. Of course, the gas money would be deducted from her salary.
As for buses... there are none in the county.
This was the first time Su Yu had known that Comrade Song Dongzheng could drive. "When did you learn?"
Song Dongzheng said proudly, "I learned this when I was in the army. If you want to learn, I'll teach you."
Su Yu smiled without saying a word. She could drive too.
Upon arriving at the county government compound, Luo Wei busied himself helping Su Yu carry her belongings upstairs. The others in the courtyard watched as County Chief Song returned with a woman, and they all stared at him.
Song Dongzheng enthusiastically introduced Su Yu to everyone, "This is my fiancée, whom the organization introduced to me. We're engaged, and all that's left is to get our marriage certificate."
Everyone looked at Su Yu with admiration. So this was the woman who had County Chief Song completely under her thumb. No wonder County Chief Song listened to her; women from big cities are really different, they're so impressive. And County Chief Song is a college graduate, and a student leader at that. He's incredibly capable.
Su Yu greeted everyone politely, then followed Song Dongzheng upstairs. "Why do they seem to know me?"
“I often mention you,” Song Dongzheng said ingratiatingly.
Su Yu smiled, her face full of disbelief.
Song Dongzheng: "..."
After escorting the person inside, Luo Wei tactfully left. Su Yu smiled and said, "You've found a good secretary."
"It's alright, but it needs more practice; it's not quick enough."
Su Yu said, "Things are different when you become a leader." Then she began to inspect County Chief Song's house.
The two-room apartment felt empty since only one person lived there. One of the rooms was Song Dongzheng's own, and it was filled with documents, appearing fairly tidy. However, Su Yu noticed that it was probably hastily packed. He must have known she was coming and crammed everything at the last minute.
She didn't point it out, and then went to her room.
Song Dongzheng kept an eye on her expression and, seeing that she didn't seem to have any complaints, felt relieved. Then, he eagerly led her into the room that had just been cleaned, saying, "Knowing you were coming, I cleaned this room overnight. Just make do for now, and we'll see what's missing and fix it up."
Su Yu patted the bed. "No need, I won't be staying for long, it's not that troublesome."
"Why don't you stay a little longer? You're on vacation, right? Stay a little longer," Song Dongzheng quickly advised.
Su Yu said with a composed expression, "I'll stay here for now. If I'm not comfortable or happy here, I'll go back."
"It will definitely feel comfortable!" Song Dongzheng assured him.
