“Section Chief Zhao, what a coincidence, have you finished all your procedures?”
When Xu Lu saw Section Chief Zhao, she immediately greeted her and asked.
“Secretary Xu, hello!”
Zhao Yanan walked into the elevator, nodded, and said, “I just finished. I’ll start work tomorrow. Thank you for your reception before!”
“You’re welcome, it’s all part of my job.”
Xu Lu waved her hand and said with a smile. She was a secretary in the Organization Department, and as long as it involved cadre personnel work, she would basically get involved.
“Qin Mu, Secretary Xu is a great beauty. She has already asked you out, why don’t you agree? You two can have a meal, a drink, and deepen your relationship!”
Zhao Yanan looked at Qin Mu and said with a smile.
In front of you, do I dare to agree?
Qin Mu was speechless for a while. Zhao Yanan was a stumbling block on his path to pursuing beauties. When he was dating Fang Ailan before, she often inquired about him, and sometimes even pretended to pass by the dating spot. He sometimes wondered if Zhao Yanan was too stubborn, why did she keep chasing him?
He didn’t have any special strengths… No… He did have strengths, but Zhao Yanan hadn’t seen them, so why did she set her sights on him?
“Ah… Section Chief Zhao, do you… know each other?”
Xu Lu’s pretty face instantly flushed red. Just now, there was no one in the elevator, so she plucked up the courage to ask Qin Mu out. As a result, Zhao Yanan heard it and now said it in public. She was naturally a bit embarrassed.
“Yes, we both transferred from the military.”
Zhao Yanan nodded and said, “Secretary Xu, Qin Mu was very popular with female soldiers in the military. You have good taste. If you can get him, you will definitely live a happy life!”
Uh…
Is she really that blunt?
Xu Lu’s face instantly turned completely red, and she said awkwardly, “Section Chief Zhao, you misunderstood. I… I just thought County Magistrate Qin was a good person, and he just broke up, so he must be in a bad mood, that’s why I offered to treat him to dinner. I… I didn’t mean anything else…”
“Zhao Yanan, that’s enough.”
Qin Mu was a bit speechless and couldn't help but say, “Stop meddling in my affairs. Secretary Xu and I just met. Aren’t you making Secretary Xu uncomfortable by saying these things?”
“Secretary Xu, she’s just like that, don’t mind it. I’ll treat you to dinner if there’s a chance in the future. I’ll be leaving now!”
As he finished speaking, the elevator door happened to open, and he quickly walked out.
However, after only a few steps, Zhao Yanan followed him again.
“Is there something else?”
Qin Mu turned his head and looked at Zhao Yanan, who was following him, and asked back.
“I’m sorry!”
Zhao Yanan lowered her head, fidgeting, and then suddenly apologized, “I just wanted to make a joke just now, I didn’t mean anything else, I’m really sorry!”
This…
The sudden apology made Qin Mu a bit unaccustomed. He was used to Zhao Yanan’s straightforward and impulsive personality. Now, speaking in such a soft voice, he always felt strange.
“Forget it!”
Qin Mu waved his hand and said, “Let’s not talk about this. You don’t need to apologize to me, it’s nothing. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”
“Wait!”
Zhao Yanan quickly stopped him and said, “Are you going to Huaining County to be the Acting County Magistrate?”
“Yes, what’s wrong?”
Qin Mu nodded and admitted it. Her family also had some influence, so it was not surprising for her to know about such personnel arrangements in advance.
“The waters in Huaining County are quite deep. When you go there, you must not be impulsive, and don’t easily trust people.”
Zhao Yanan earnestly cautioned, “Be careful in everything you do. I think you can reveal your background to the County Party Secretary, speak less usually, and for any matters, discuss more with the County Party Secretary and the Executive Vice County Chief, don’t make decisions on your own…”
What does that mean?
Are you telling me to be the County Magistrate just to go through the motions?
Zhao Yanan said a lot in one breath, and Qin Mu also understood her meaning. It was nothing more than letting the officials in Huaining County know his background, and then not to make decisions when facing problems, but to communicate with the County Party Secretary and the Executive Vice County Chief no matter what the issue!
Then what was he?
A tool?
“Stop!”
Qin Mu really couldn't listen anymore and said, “I am a Party member, an old soldier. This time, my appointment in Huaining County is an organizational arrangement, and I certainly cannot disappoint the Organization. What I should do and what I shouldn’t do, I don’t think it’s your place to teach me!”
“No, Huaining County is really very…”
“Alright, you don’t need to say anything more.”
Zhao Yanan still wanted to speak, but Qin Mu immediately stopped her, “I’m an adult, not a child. I have my own judgment.”
After speaking, he turned around and took a taxi to leave.
“Alas… Am I that annoying to you?”
Zhao Yanan looked at Qin Mu’s resolute back, feeling helpless. She had fallen in love with Qin Mu at first sight and had liked him for many years. In the military, she had pursued him openly and secretly, but unfortunately, Qin Mu didn’t like her at all.
This time, hearing that Qin Mu was transferring, she immediately followed suit.
Just now, hearing that Qin Mu had broken up, she was secretly delighted, feeling that her chance had come, so she wanted to chase him out and spend some time with him, and also inform him of the dangers in Huaining County.
However, Qin Mu not only didn’t appreciate it but also got a little angry.
What exactly did she do wrong?
…
In fact, when Qin Mu took a taxi and left, he felt a little regretful.
Because he knew that Zhao Yanan said those words for his own good, and perhaps, she had inquired about it from many people.
However, Qin Mu was the Chief Commander in the military, a man of his word. Even though he was transferring to be the Acting County Magistrate this time, he planned to make a big impact.
Minister Chen had made it very clear that the Acting County Magistrate position was an assessment. If he failed the assessment, he would not be able to be officially appointed and would be transferred to another position. If he, the dignified Chief Commander of the Flying Eagle Brigade, couldn’t even pass an assessment, how embarrassing would that be if it got out?
So when Zhao Yanan immediately told him not to worry about anything and just be a tool, Qin Mu was inevitably a little annoyed.
Back at the hotel, Qin Mu turned on his computer and started searching for the Party and government leaders of Huaining County. It was good to get some understanding beforehand.
As the saying goes, know yourself and your enemy, and you will win a hundred battles!
“Huaining County Party Secretary Yu Xuewen…”
“Deputy Secretary of the Huaining County Party Committee Gao Qiang…”
…
Qin Mu spent some effort to get a general understanding of the current leaders of the Huaining County Party Committee and County Government.
“Ding-a-ling…”
He had just ordered takeout when his phone rang. Qin Mu thought it was the merchant calling and subconsciously answered.
“Hello…”
“Qin Mu… It’s me…”
As soon as the call connected, a familiar voice sounded.
Fang Ailan?
What did this woman mean by calling?
“This is my new number, save it. If you’re free tomorrow night, we can meet again!”
While Qin Mu was momentarily stunned, Fang Ailan had already expressed her dirty thoughts.
They had just met yesterday, and after only one day, she was already impatient to meet again?
How weak was her new boyfriend, Gu Lin?
He couldn’t satisfy her even though they just started dating?
