Chapter 837: Chapter 837
Under Xu Qianli’s deliberate delay, the meeting finally ended around noon.
Finally, the meeting was over, and Fu Guotai fled in a hurry, running back to his office in a flash.
Zhang Dongyang also left with a dark face, rushing off.
The other officials gave Xu Qianli a meaningful look and then gradually left.
Soon, only Xu Qianli and Ma Xiaoyan were left in the office.
Ma Xiaoyan gave Xu Qianli a thumbs-up, “Impressive, County Magistrate Xu, you’re really something. Did you see how embarrassed Secretary Fu was? I felt anxious for him. You really upset him badly, aren’t you afraid he’ll retaliate brutally?”
“Afraid? If I were afraid, I wouldn’t have come to Cailin County. Fu Guotai may be powerful, being the County Party Secretary of Cailin County, but so what? I’ll handle whatever he throws my way.”
Xu Qianli was nonchalant, not taking Fu Guotai seriously at all.
Coming to Cailin County was due to other factors, but since he’s here, he indeed plans to make a name for himself in Cailin County.
People like Fu Guotai and Zhang Dongyang are just small-time characters.
The real formidable opponents in Cailin County are those hidden in the shadows, the guys from the Qingshan Association.
The Qingshan Association people are like the most insidious poisonous snakes, full of venom, lurking in the shadows, ready to strike anytime with a fatal bite.
Such entities require serious guard against.
Fu Guotai and Zhang Dongyang are merely pawns placed in the open by the Qingshan Association, while their hidden ones are the most deadly.
Now that Xu Qianli is in Cailin County, if this is indeed a stronghold for the Qingshan Association, he must uproot it!
Especially the Holy Daughter of the Qingshan Association, that splendid beauty, must be dealt with!
Speaking of which, that one had previously sought him out claiming to want to collaborate, but now that he’s in Cailin County, he wonders when they’ll meet.
Although she’s wickedly treacherous and mysterious, one must admit she truly is super first-class in beauty, simply outstanding, if there were a chance, conquering her completely would be nice.
Oh, by the way, there’s another person to meet, that gorgeous Gu Ziyin, should find a time to see her as well.
Jiang City is a treasured land with its illustrious people and beautiful scenery, and Cailin County is not much less, with nice scenery and many beauties.
Ma Xiaoyan said, “County Magistrate Xu, don’t daydream just yet. I want to ask you something. The Secretary Long you mentioned, is he really the one from the City Union?”
Xu Qianli smiled enigmatically, a hint of a smile on his lips, “You guess.”
Ma Xiaoyan blinked, looking at Xu Qianli and feeling she understood.
Guessing that the Secretary Long Xu Qianli mentioned isn’t actually from the City Union, but from the Provincial Committee.
If that’s really the case, he is something.
No wonder someone like him could even conquer such a difficult beauty like Zhang Hong, truly one can’t help but admire.
Ma Xiaoyan made up her mind, she must work alongside Xu Qianli, holding tightly onto this big leg of his.
Once decided, Ma Xiaoyan shifted her seat closer to Xu Qianli, still feeling too far, she simply sat on the conference table in front of him, chuckling, “County Magistrate Xu, let’s discuss something, you’ve just arrived in Cailin County, without any aides, it’s inconvenient to work solo. How about I become your secretary?”
“You want to be my secretary?”
Xu Qianli looked Ma Xiaoyan over, who was offering herself, and instinctively shook his head, no, he wasn’t interested.
Ma Xiaoyan was quite pretty, with a full bust that looked ample, a first-class figure, smooth skin, big eyes, and a cute nose, very eye-catching.
But no matter how Xu Qianli looked, she seemed a bit too carefree, and her gossipy nature was too strong, not quite suitable for a secretary.
Seeing Xu Qianli refuse, Ma Xiaoyan wasn’t willing to give up, quickly grabbing his hand, “Please, County Magistrate Xu, have mercy and agree. I’m a Chinese Department graduate, my writing skills are top-notch, plus I’m clever and sensible…”
Ma Xiaoyan kept talking endlessly, insistently pestering Xu Qianli to make him agree.
Since she had decided to stick with Xu Qianli, she naturally wanted to become one of his trusted individuals.
A so-called trusted individual, none are closer than a driver or secretary.
Being a driver wasn’t her interest, being a secretary was more suitable.
Although by rules, a Deputy County Magistrate shouldn’t ideally have a secretary, rules are rigid, people are flexible, and many Deputy County Magistrates have secretaries to coordinate and assist with work.
As long as Xu Qianli nodded in agreement, Ma Xiaoyan would immediately give up her upcoming job, report to the County Government’s Secretary Section Two, and become Xu Qianli’s secretary.
Of course, she also considered the potential outcomes.
A beautiful woman like herself becoming Xu Qianli’s secretary, being around him every day, surely he would have thoughts.
For her future and career advancement, Ma Xiaoyan put it all on the line.
If it comes to it, she’ll just learn from her best friend, accompany the leader at work and her boyfriend at home, balancing work and life without missing out on either.
Just in case Xu Qianli didn’t agree, Ma Xiaoyan intentionally lifted a leg, using her dainty foot to brush Xu Qianli’s chest.
Today Ma Xiaoyan wore a pleated skirt, the hem barely knee-length. Sitting on the desk with her leg extended towards Xu Qianli, it was truly a visual delight, those white long legs were quite the sight.
Winking at Xu Qianli incessantly, Ma Xiaoyan coyly said, “County Magistrate Xu, just take me, I promise to be obedient and won’t disappoint you. Besides, I’ve never had a boyfriend before, honestly.”
Xu Qianli said, “So you’re still a virgin then?”
“I swear by it, tenfold!” Ma Xiaoyan confidently stated.
“Well then, tell me, why do you insist on being my secretary? Be honest, and I’ll consider it. If you dare lie, I won’t just refuse, I’ll deal with you!”
Xu Qianli awaited, curious about Ma Xiaoyan’s response.
Ma Xiaoyan fell silent at the words, and after a long pause, gave an answer, “Alright, I’ll say it, when I was in the city, I peeked at the matter between you and Minister Zhang. I thought, if you could even handle Minister Zhang, you’re surely impressive, so I believed you’d go far, which is why I’m eager to latch onto your strong leg and hitch a ride on your journey. Besides, didn’t you say that as long as I stick with you, you’d help me rise swiftly? I believed it, so here I am.”
Xu Qianli smiled slightly, “I knew it, I saw you sneakily peeking in the hallway back then. At least you’re honest for admitting it now. Had you dared lie, it wouldn’t have worked.”
This… Ma Xiaoyan truly hadn’t known, she was already discovered by Xu Qianli then.
Luckily, she confessed earlier, or else who knows how Xu Qianli would’ve reacted.
Oh, right, he said lying wouldn’t work, since she hadn’t lied, does that mean there’s a chance?
“County Magistrate Xu, does this mean… you’ve agreed to let me be your secretary?”
