Chapter 35 It's Done
In the office furnished with classical furniture and modern artworks, the shabby desk and chair looked out of place. Sitting on the chair was a man wearing wrinkled clothes, glasses and a decadent look on his face.
There was a knock on the door. The person on the chair straightened his clothes and sat up straight, "Come in!"
The secretary pushed the door open and said, "Someone wants to see the county governor..."
Yang Qishan felt annoyed when he heard someone was looking for him, "No, no! Let him go find the deputy county magistrate..."
The secretary hesitated, looking hesitant, "He said he sent you some tea to relieve your worries..."
Yang Qishan rubbed his brows, his eyelids flickering with annoyance. "Trouble-relieving tea... Who is coming? Did he say anything?"
"I told you, his name is Lu Sui, he's from this county, he was in the South China Field Army before he retired, he was awarded the second and third class merits, you even visited him in person, Yunwu Village... do you still remember him?"
Yang Qishan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to his senses, "Did he say what he was here for?"
The secretary said, "I told you I was here to bring you some tea to ease your worries."
Yang Qishan smiled alone. Tea to relieve his worries... He wanted to see how he could relieve his worries. "Ask him in!"
"Yes!" The secretary nodded and walked out.
In the waiting room, Lu Sui was wearing a black suit with broad shoulders and long legs, which half blocked the light from outside the door. His sculptured face looked even deeper and more three-dimensional against the light, his black eyes were sharp, and the corners of his eyes were slightly tilted upwards in anxiety.
"Hubby..." Liang Jingxuan sat on the sofa holding the rabbit. The waiting room was not cold, so he took off his coat and wrapped the little rabbit with a thick white sweater underneath. The rabbit looked like a White Rabbit candy without the candy wrapper.
Lu Sui walked over with heavy steps and pinched his face, "Are you hungry?"
The two of them had mutton noodles in the town this morning. It was already 10 o'clock. "Not hungry..." Liang Jingxuan took out two skinny meat buns from his pocket and said, "Here you go..."
Lu Sui curled his lips, and the gloom on his face faded a lot. "Eat by yourself. I have something important to discuss later. You stay here and don't run around. If you want to go to the toilet, turn left and it's at the end."
Liang Jingxuan nodded heavily, "Okay!" As soon as he finished speaking, the secretary who had entertained them earlier came in, "Mr. Lu, the county governor is here and is in the office. Please come over."
"Okay...thank you!"
As soon as he entered the office, Yang Qishan immediately stood up to greet him, "I have heard of your great name, Lu Zhan!"
Lu Sui greeted him respectfully, "Hello, County Governor! I don't deserve the title... Without the country's training, I wouldn't be who I am today!"
After exchanging pleasantries, the two sat down on the sofa. Lu Sui offered the tea to relieve his worries. "County Governor, I heard from my second uncle that you often came to visit me when I was not at home. This is a very small token of gratitude. Please accept it."
Yang Qishan took the worry-relieving tea with a stiff smile, weighed it, and opened the bag to check it carefully. It was indeed just worry-relieving tea, but he did not take it and handed it back. "It is my duty to visit and offer condolences. This is unnecessary."
Lu Sui handed the worry-relieving tea back and said, "I am not here just to give you the worry-relieving tea. I know that you, the county governor, have a long-standing worry, and I am here to help you solve it."
Yang Qishan suddenly smiled and leaned back on the sofa, "Then tell me what worries me?"
Lu Sui lowered his voice, "Deputy Mayor..." Yang Qishan became alert, then frowned and returned to his cold expression, "You should do what is appropriate for your position. If you overstep your authority, then..."
Lu Sui could tell that he was warning him, his face was calm, his eyes were as peaceful as the lake, "I just said it, I'm here to help you solve your problems, not to overstep your authority. You can listen, and after listening, it's up to you to weigh the pros and cons!"
Yang Qishan looked at him with contempt, "Then tell me, how can I solve this worry?"
"As far as I know, the new municipal party secretary and mayor were both appointed by the capital. Logically, the deputy mayor's appointment should come soon, but there has been no news for three months. Don't you think it's strange?"
Lu Sui's words did not arouse Yang Qishan's interest. Instead, he mocked him, "How to appoint is the province's arrangement. It is not your turn to question it!"
"Then you are not anxious?" Lu Sui asked. Yang Qishan was anxious, more anxious than anyone else, but he pretended very well, but because he was too anxious, he was too clumsy. "I believe in the organization... You should believe in it too."
Lu Sui was waiting for him to say, "But if you don't show it, how can the organization see it?"
Yang Qishan's face was as cold as ice, and he asked sinisterly, "What do you mean?"
"Your political achievements are no worse than those of several candidates. You have worked diligently for so many years, and the people of the entire county have witnessed it. Now, you are still missing one "political achievement"..." Lu Sui's words were like bait on a fishing hook. Yang Qishan knew it was a trap, but he still couldn't help but want to bite the hook.
"Tell me... what kind of political achievements?"
Lu Sui stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point, "Build the road!"
Yang Qishan narrowed his eyes dangerously, "Which road are you repairing?"
"The road in Yunwu Village! You are repairing it in your own name without following the procedures. Of course, I don't really want you to repair it. I will pay for the road repair. It is best to do it in secret. No one except the village head and the village party secretary can know about it..."
Yang Qishan was in a fog, "No one knows what counts as political achievements!"
Lu Sui continued, "Just let the mayor and the municipal party secretary know. It's not difficult to find a few reporters. Road construction will only benefit you and will not cause any harm..."
Yang Qishan frowned in thought. He was not sure that he could become the deputy mayor by building a road, but Yunwu Village was Yu Zehui's hometown. His uncle Yu Qinghai always talked about his political achievements and put him down. He had made so much money from being involved in politics and business in recent years, but he had not built a road for his hometown. He was happy as long as he could annoy Yu Zehui.
"Then tell me, if someone asks about so many roads, why do I have to build only the one in Yunwu Village? Where do I get the money? There are regulations that we cannot pay out of our own pockets. This is against the rules!"
Lu Sui had already prepared, "Because the roads in Yunwu Village are the worst! I also know that you have applied for approval from the city. You have no money, but the common people in the county have called you the commoner county chief for so many years, and it's not a random name, right? You can ask your wife to pay for this money, of course, I don't really want your wife to pay for it."
This would neither violate regulations nor attract criticism. He has always been known for his thriftiness over the years, and has used the money he saved to privately support the elderly and left-behind children. However, his wife is very fierce and she always scolds him.
Few people can come out of the political world without being covered in mud. This is the only original intention he has maintained over the years.
Lu Sui then hinted, "Looking at the entire county, and even the city, the Yu family is the only one in power. The new mayor and municipal party secretary have been slow to appoint a deputy mayor. Have you really never guessed that there is something strange going on?"
Yang Qishan sneered. Lu Sui's words undoubtedly meant that the newly appointed mayor and municipal party secretary intended to cultivate their own confidants, and this deputy mayor could not be Yu Qinghai.
"You are so brave to offend the Yu family!"
"I don't want to offend anyone. I just think that if you were the deputy mayor, life would be easier for ordinary people like us."
Although Lu Sui spoke in a calm tone, there was a hint of ambition in his dark pupils. Yang Qishan's eyes were as dark and deep as an abyss, and his tone became dangerous, "If you are so attentive without any reason, you are either a traitor or a thief. I really want to know what you want?"
Lu Sui tore off his disguise and said ambitiously, "I want the brick factory that was closed down in Fenghuang Town!"
Yang Qishan gave him the official document with his seal without any hesitation. This brick factory was a hot potato for him. Yu Zehui had repeatedly hinted at him to transfer it to him, but he had been making excuses to procrastinate. This time, if he could make Yu Zehui unhappy, he would be willing to give it to him.
Taking the briefcase out, Lu Sui was not as excited as he had imagined. Instead, he was very calm, with a kind of composure that he was determined to win. He was not very sure about the idea of building the road. It was Yu Zeying who told him that the mayor and the secretary wanted to cultivate their own confidants.
Of course, repairing the road to Yunwu Village was also part of his plan. If the road was not good, the vehicles carrying stones could not enter, which was time-consuming, labor-intensive, and fuel-consuming. In addition, there were four villages neighboring Yunwu Village, so he would be the biggest beneficiary of the repair of this road.
"Hubby!" Liang Jingxuan had fallen asleep while waiting. When she saw Lu Sui, she stopped hugging him and jumped onto him. She put her hands tightly around his neck, her eyes misty. "Is it done?"
Lu Sui wanted to give him a big kiss, but it was inconvenient. Two strong arms held him against his chest. His heartbeat was very strong, which was in stark contrast to the calmness on his face. "It's done!"
Liang Jingxuan grabbed his chin and gave him a big kiss, "Hubby, you're so great!" Not satisfied with just one kiss, he wanted to kiss again. Lu Sui leaned against his forehead and smiled, "You can't kiss here, let's kiss in the car!"
"Okay~"
Lu Sui held him with one hand and held the rabbit with the other, and strode out of the county government building. Yang Qishan stood by the window stroking the wall of the cup. Lu Sui was very scheming and courageous. It would be great if he could help him deal with Yu Zehui.
Lu Sui carried Liang Jingxuan to the passenger seat and fastened her seat belt. "Honey, are we going home now?"
"I still have some formalities to go through. I'll be back tomorrow and stay in a hotel today." The sky was getting dark quickly in the winter. Lu Sui was worried that the night would be long and he would have many troubles. He only knew a few words about Yang Qishan. If he changed his mind halfway, it would be a big loss.
"Then I want to sleep with you! The little rabbit sleeps in the middle..." Liang Jingxuan kissed him stickyly, and Lu Sui deliberately avoided him, "Didn't you not let me kiss you?"
"I didn't stop you from kissing me, I just asked you not to kiss me that way. Just a kiss like this will be enough!" Liang Jingxuan sat astride his thighs, held his face and kissed his thin lips hard twice. He used too much force and hit his teeth. Lu Sui hissed in pain.
"Are you trying to murder your husband?"
Liang Jingxuan poked his palm, looking innocent, "No..."
Lu Sui picked up the troublesome rabbit and threw it into the back seat, then placed his hands on Liang Jingxuan's side, staring at him from top to bottom, his breathing heavy and hot, his eyes as fierce as a wolf, as if he was going to eat him at any time!
Liang Jingxuan seemed to have adapted to it, not afraid at all, and tugged at his zipper with trembling hands, "Hubby...when are you going to have sex with me? The kind where you can have sex without clothes, the kind where you can have a baby..."
