"Enter--"
The secretary gently pushed open the door. "Minister Liu, it's time for the meeting."
Liu Dong glanced at his watch, stood up, and said as he walked, "I understand your idea. It's not bad."
Li Xiangdong and Liu Junbo also stood up, knowing that today's meeting was over.
As he reached the door, Liu Donglai turned back and said, "By the way, if you have any other specific ideas, remember to write them down for me."
Li Xiangdong quickly agreed, "Okay, I got it!"
Liu Donglai walked very fast, and soon disappeared from sight.
Xiao Lin smiled warmly yet tactfully as he saw Li Xiangdong and Liu Junbo out the door.
The snow outside has stopped.
There was a thin layer of white snow on the road.
A few stars twinkled in the cold night. The smooth, wide street was very quiet. Several soldiers on guard stood like statues, solemn and dignified.
The two of them walked slowly down the street with their hands in their pockets.
Suddenly remembering something, Li Xiangdong asked, "Junbo, what kind of job do you plan to do after graduation?"
Liu Junbo pondered for a moment, "It depends on the school's assignment, but personally, I really want to work in the court or the procuratorate."
This way, I won't let down the major I've studied.
Have you discussed your thoughts with Uncle Liu?
Liu Junbo shook his head. "No, the minister is too busy right now. I don't want to trouble him with such a small matter."
Li Xiangdong nodded, "I heard that your counselor can decide where you work. By the way, I have a deer farm in Bazhong. You can give them some deer antlers, deer penis, venison, or something during the Spring Festival to build a relationship and make a good impression on them!"
Liu Junbo, having served as a secretary to a county party secretary, was quick-witted and didn't refuse. "Alright, get me some."
"By the way, your fourth sister's mentor is a female professor, and her tutor is also a female teacher. They have good red ginseng and ginseng, so prepare some for your fourth sister as well."
"Your fourth sister has devoted all her energy to her studies."
As he spoke, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile.
In the darkness, Li Xiangdong naturally didn't notice his expression, but Liu Junbo's tone, which contained a hint of secrecy and sweetness, couldn't be hidden from anyone.
Li Xiangdong: "......"
After a while, Li Xiangdong tentatively asked, "Brother, are you... dating my fourth sister?"
Liu Junbo choked, coughing up his own saliva.
Seeing Liu Junbo coughing incessantly, Li Xiangdong kindly patted his back, then asked, "You didn't catch up with my fourth sister?"
It took Liu Junbo quite a while to stop, his handsome face flushed red.
He gave Li Xiangdong a particularly mournful look and said quietly, "Your sister's mind is all on academics."
Li Zhen kept calling him "Brother Junbo," completely ignoring his flirtatious glances. He was practically throwing his eyelashes at a blind man!
Liu Junbo still thought Li Zhen had someone else in her heart, so he tested her several times and asked Li Zhen's friends and classmates for a long time. Finally, he realized that she just hadn't figured out how to be in a relationship.
The streetlights cast a yellowish glow. Li Xiangdong looked at Liu Junbo, who had a resentful expression, and patted him on the shoulder with particular sympathy. "The revolution has not yet succeeded. Comrade, you still need to work hard!"
Liu Junbo grasped Li Xiangdong's hand and asked with particular sincerity, "Do you think I'm not bad?"
Li Xiangdong was recently frightened by the sexual orientations of Wang Shuli, Yan Guodong, and others. When he saw Liu Junbo's appearance, he got goosebumps and quickly pulled his hand away from Liu Junbo's.
"What good is it if I think you're nice? I'm not my fourth sister! Um, you don't like men, do you? I'm normal, I have women I like! You can't just turn around and pursue me because you were rejected by my fourth sister..."
Liu Junbo was completely confused by what he said, but after he figured out what he meant, he felt a little embarrassed.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I mean, if you all think I'm not bad..." Liu Junbo touched his nose sheepishly, "my chances of winning Zhenzhen's heart would be much better, since you're her family after all..."
Li Xiangdong breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh, I see! You scared me to death!"
"Hey, you just said you have someone you like? Who is it?"
Liu Junbo blinked and asked in a particularly gossipy tone.
As she spoke, she leaned closer to Li Xiangdong and asked in a cheeky tone, "Is it Ruoruo? Huh?"
Li Xiangdong's face also turned a little red. He pushed Liu Junbo away and said, "Don't spread rumors. I never said I had someone I liked!"
"You said it! You clearly said it just now, but you still won't admit it!"
Li Xiangdong: "I never expected you to be such a gossip!"
————
Li Xiangdong stayed in Yanjing for a few more days before going to Huapiling in Bashang with Zhou Hongsong.
Under the overall command of Fourth Uncle Gao Jialin, and with the help of four capable men—Gao Dacheng, Daoba, Maizi, and Deng Xianglin—the deer farm in Huapiling has now grown to a scale of more than two hundred deer.
To accommodate the deer's wild and active nature, the deer farm was located on the sunny side of the open and flat terrain behind Huapiling Village.
Apart from the necessary insulated enclosures, the rest of the space is reserved for the deer to roam.
This was actually the first time Li Xiangdong had seen the deer farm. In the past few days, apart from sending money, he hadn't interfered with anything else.
Li Xiangdong's eyes lit up as he looked at the sika deer and red deer with their shiny fur and plump bodies.
In the deer farm, some deer stroll leisurely, while others forage for food on the grass with their heads down. Some doe lie on the sunny slope to bask in the sun, with their fawns following beside them. There are also two male deer fighting, their huge antlers butting against each other.
At this time, the Bashang area has entered the cold winter, with the highest daytime temperature only reaching three or four degrees below zero.
The grassland was a withered yellow, while the distant forest was a dull green, occasionally interspersed with fiery red maple trees and golden birches.
Li Xiangdong wore a sable hat and a thick fur coat. When he spoke, a long trail of white breath would come out of his mouth.
"Fourth Uncle, these deer are raised so well!"
As he spoke, he gave Gao Jialin a genuine thumbs-up.
Gao Jialin smiled smugly and stroked his goatee. "It's alright! I have to be worthy of the salary you pay me!"
Scarface, Gao Dacheng, and Deng Xianglin followed behind, all nodding in agreement.
The boss, Li Xiangdong, didn't get involved in anything except giving them money; he simply handed over the entire deer farm to them to manage.
Putting aside the fact that he paid such a high salary, even higher than that of the sales clerks at the county's supply and marketing cooperative, the trust he placed in them alone deeply moved these people.
Now, people from all around are very eager to curry favor with them, and they all want their family members to work at the deer farm.
Especially Gao Dacheng, who used to be a good-for-nothing who loved to drink and did nothing, has transformed into a successful local figure.
Now his father, his mother, and his wife all find him very agreeable!
