137: Chapter 137: Lan Qianrong Visits!
In the hospital room, Xu Qianli watched Zhang Kuisan leave and couldn’t help laughing.
This bastard actually thought he was like him, taking all sorts of dirty money, and wanted to use the incident with Li Zhu giving gifts as leverage and a threat.
It was utterly ridiculous.
Yet, credit where credit’s due, he was pretty formidable, having co up with the idea of using a fake video to self-report and thus exonerate himself and regain his influence within the County Governnt.
After this ordeal, the dominance he had lost to Xu Qianli, the prestige he had seen eroded, had certainly been restored.
Facing such an opponent, it seed that one really couldn’t afford the slightest complacency or underestimate the threat.
One had to be careful in dealing with him.
Xu Qianli had even predicted that Zhang Kuisan, that bastard, was not willing to lose his seat as County Magistrate so easily.
He must have long been plotting, preparing a big pit for Lan Qianrong to fall into, hoping to push her into it in one fell swoop.
As for what exactly this pit was, Xu Qianli could make a rough guess.
He slapped the bed, “Zhang Kuisan, you son of a bitch, you want to play big, huh?
Alright, I, Xu Qianli, will see it through to the end!”
Hiss…
Xu Qianli suddenly inhaled a breath of cold air.
Having just slapped the bed, his arm throbbed with pain; the effects of the dication had worn off.
He hadn’t felt it while fighting desperately with Zhang Cheng, but now it was indeed quite painful.
He really regretted not hitting Zhang Cheng a few more tis.
As he was in pain, the door suddenly opened, and a slender figure entered the room, then closed the door.
Xu Qianli thought it was Liu Qian or Ge Pingping who had co, but when he lifted his eyes, it was soone he never expected would visit.
He sprang up from the bed in a flash, “Hello, Leader!”
In front of Xu Qianli stood none other than his leader, County Magistrate Lan Qianrong.
Lan Qianrong had a very tall figure.
In her thirties, it was the ti when a woman was at her most mature and charming, with voluptuous curves and already quite an eyeful.
Today, she was even wearing a fashionable long dress, the fitted fabric wrapping around her fiery body, sketching out extrely enticing curves.
She didn’t need to do anything; just standing in front of Xu Qianli, her allure was already fatal.
Looking at the graceful figure before him, at the captivating body, the provocative curves, and that stunning face, Xu Qianli’s thoughts couldn’t help but drift back to that passionate night at the Regent Hotel.
He gulped down his saliva.
That heated night, he, Xu Qianli, had unbelievably gotten lucky with this most luscious woman.
They had weathered the storm several tis in the room, and it felt almost like a dream.
Even now, Xu Qianli still rembered her heartbeat, how hot her red lips were, how she pleaded softly in his arms, how she had blushed and coyly scolded him, calling him a rascal, a bad egg, and a brute afterwards.
Thinking of that night, recalling Lan Qianrong’s allure, he couldn’t help but feel his heart rate quicken.
Lan Qianrong maintained a calm facade, trying to seem composed in front of Xu Qianli, but being alone with him in the sa room, she couldn’t help having a flush of red climb onto her beautiful face.
Looking at this bad man who had taken her innocence, who had made her go through heaven and hell countless tis in one night, Lan Qianrong had a thousand thoughts and waved her hand.
“Alright, you’ve been injured, no need for formalities.
Lie down.”
“I’m here for two reasons.
One, to visit you, and two, to inform you that I’m assuming my position at the County Governnt today.”
“You must be completely surprised, aren’t you?
If there’s anything you want to ask, feel free to do so.”
Lan Qianrong frankly stated her purpose; she was going to take charge of the Jiang City County Governnt Building today.
Xu Qianli said, “Leader, you’re taking office early; I guess you must have heard so rumors, right?”
Lan Qianrong nodded slightly.
“Indeed, I’ve heard so rumors.”
“Although it’s my first ti coming to Jiang City to take office, I still have so friends here.”
“I heard that there’s been so talk recently at the Jiang City County Governnt.
So Deputy County Magistrates seem to have issues with my arrival.
They appear to be joining forces to give a hard ti.”
“Xu Qian, you’re an old hand at the County Governnt, and you were the forr County Magistrate’s secretary.
Facing such a situation, what do you think should be done to break through?”
“You’re the secretary I’ve chosen, and my expectations for you are quite high.
I hope you don’t disappoint and can co up with so effective thods or ans.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Lan Qianrong took a seat beside Xu Qianli’s hospital bed, quietly looking at him, waiting for his answer.
The person was her choice.
As her secretary, Xu Qianli had to play his role, had to help her solve the current difficulties.
Lan Qianrong was a parachuted official.
As soone parachuted into the position, she naturally had to face the predicant that almost all such officials encounter: being unfamiliar with the place and having no connections or authority.
Many parachuted officials fall into the trap of being sidelined by subordinates after taking office, turning into figureheads, shelved for years, or even skulking away in defeat.
She, Lan Qianrong, certainly did not want such an outco.
And now, the situation at the Jiang City County Governnt was such that Deputy County Magistrate Zhang Kuisan, along with Ding Biao, Zeng Changyun, and others, had already joined forces and were actively trying to recruit Sun Yan to isolate her, Lan Qianrong.
She was new to the area, and apart from Xu Qian, her secretary, she really didn’t have any ans to contend with Zhang Kuisan and the others.
Xu Qianli said, “Leader, rest assured.
Since I’m your secretary, I will naturally share your concerns.
I’ll deal with Deputy County Magistrate Zhang and his group as soon as possible, ensuring they don’t beco an obstacle to your governance in Jiang City, to the betternt of this region.
In Jiang City, you’re sure to demonstrate your vision and ambition, and use it to reach even greater heights.”
“Since you’ve said so, I feel relieved.
I look forward to your performance.”
“Alright, I won’t disturb your recovery; I’m leaving now.”
After receiving a satisfactory response, Lan Qianrong stood up to leave.
Just as she was about to go, Xu Qianli suddenly reached out, tightly grabbing her hand, “Leader, please don’t go yet; I have sothing I want to tell you!”
Lan Qianrong turned her head back, looking at Xu Qianli with curiosity, “What is it that you want to say?”
Xu Qianli said, “About that night.”
Lan Qianrong quickly said, “There was no ‘that night.’ Nothing happened between us!
Xu Qianli, rember this, nothing happened between us, our relationship is strictly professional!”
“Is it really just a professional relationship?”
Xu Qianli stared intently at Lan Qianrong; after all, he was her first man, her only man, and he didn’t believe that after that night, she could really forget his bad and good.
Lan Qianrong suddenly chuckled, turned around, and leaned down close to Xu Qianli.
“Hmph, you bad boy, got a taste for it, have you?”
“It’s no big deal.
If you can quickly get rid of these traps set by Zhang Kuisan and his group for , what’s the harm in spending another night with you?”
“Whether you can seize the opportunity, though, is up to your own skill.”
