48: Chapter 48: The Beautiful Subordinate Comes to Apologize!

The regular meeting at Jiang City County Government concluded, and Li Weiguo, head of the County Public Security Bureau, although reluctant, had no choice but to follow Xu Qianli’s commands to immediately organize a team to seal off Hehua Real Estate.

Before Xu Qianli, the utterly defeated Zhang Kuisan left the meeting room with a livid face and returned to his office.

Xu Qianli, appearing nonchalant, greeted Sun Yan, Zeng Changyun, and others before also leaving.

As soon as the three of them left, the meeting room exploded into chaos, people busily chattering.

They had all thought Zhang Kuisan was certain to succeed as the next County Magistrate, but then Lan Qianrong unexpectedly appeared.

Even more surprisingly, Xu Qianli was appointed as the County Magistrate’s secretary by the new County Magistrate.

It was well known that in Jiang City and even across the three districts and nine counties of Zhongzhou City, no two County Magistrates had ever employed the same secretary before.

Yet, such an event happened today.

Compared to the old County Magistrate, the new County Magistrate, Lan Qianrong, was incredibly young, having become the head of the county in her thirties; it was clear to discerning eyes that her background was no simple matter.

Unless something significant occurred, she would certainly not stop at being County Magistrate.

Xu Qianli was fortunate enough to become her secretary, which was more than just a stroke of luck.

With the old County Magistrate gone, everyone thought Xu Qianli would surely find it impossible to stay on at the Jiang City County Government; the best outcome would have been a neutral transfer facilitated by connections to another position elsewhere.

To everyone’s surprise, he had hitched his wagon to the new County Magistrate!

Many in the room could not help but envy Xu Qianli as both the current and former County Magistrates held him in such high regard; this young man’s luck was unbelievably good.

Considering that Zhang Kuisan had suffered such a harsh defeat today, with no hopes for the County Magistrate’s seat, who knew what he would do next?

Would he choose to lie low as before when he was severely oppressed by the old County Magistrate?

Or would he try with all his might to fight against Xu Qianli and Lan Qianrong till the end?

The crowd discussed fruitlessly and soon dispersed.

Xu Qianli’s victory over Zhang Kuisan on the executive meeting and the news of Lan Qianrong about to parachute into Jiang City as County Magistrate spread fast.

Through social networks, not only at the Jiang City County Government, but nearly everyone in the Jiang City official circles was aware of this.

Hearing that the new County Magistrate was about to take office and that Xu Qianli was appointed as her secretary, some envied him, some were alarmed, and others regretted to their very bones.

Especially around the County Government where Zhang Kuisan had been actively suppressing Xu Qianli recently, many had intentionally estranged themselves from Xu Qianli, some even adding insult to injury, overtly and covertly kicking him while he was down, having offended him.

Little did they know that Xu Qianli would suddenly transform into the new County Magistrate’s secretary, firmly occupying the seat of the Government Office Director, leaving those who had wronged Xu Qianli in a panic.

Of them, Huang Ling, head of the Secretarial Department, was the most panicked.

When the old County Magistrate was alive, Xu Qianli had risen from the Secretarial Department to the ranks of County Magistrate’s secretary and Government Office Director.

Meanwhile, Huang Ling, head of the Secretarial Department, had been marking time for years and was particularly irked about Xu Qianli, initially her subordinate, advancing beyond her so quickly.

After the death of the old County Magistrate and with Zhang Kuisan acting as County Magistrate suppressing Xu Qianli, Huang Ling had not been idle either, often mocking Xu Qianli to his face and urging him to resign quickly.

Now that Xu Qianli had not only made a comeback but also left Zhang Kuisan utterly defeated, Huang Ling was terrified.

As the head of the Secretarial Department, if both the Government Office Director and the County Magistrate found her displeasing, there was only one outcome—being kicked out.

The thought of possibly being assigned to some remote and impoverished village as a low-level official, never to rise again, even being dismissed, terrified Huang Ling thoroughly.

Lost in thought, Huang Ling touched up her makeup and sprayed perfume on herself before she bravely knocked on the door of Xu Qianli’s office.

Xu Qianli was buried in his work when he heard the knock and responded, “Come in.”

As the door opened, Huang Ling entered the office with a smile plastered on her face, “Leader, I have come to report on my work.”

“Oh, if it isn’t Chief Huang.”

“If I remember correctly, just three days ago you mocked me, saying Xu Qianli was a fallen dog who would never rise again, that I should pack up and get lost wherever it’s cool.”

“And now today, here you are coming to report your work to me?”

“For the past month, haven’t you been reporting to Deputy Director Zhang Cheng?

Go find him.”

Xu Qianli saw it was Huang Ling and was particularly sarcastic.

He had remembered everything Huang Ling had done over the past month.

In the office, if someone else stepped on him, he would accept it.

But Huang Ling was different; he had always had a good relationship with her, having covered for her twice when the Section of Secretaries had made major errors, always treating her as a respected elder sister.

Who would have known that after the old county magistrate’s death, she would change her face the quickest, stepping on him multiple times during this period, showing a completely different face than before.

With such a person, Xu Qianli couldn’t bother to be polite and began teasing her right away, not giving her any pleasant expressions, coldly staring at her.

Originally frightened, Huang Ling’s fear intensified when she saw Xu Qianli’s demeanor, causing her to tremble and quickly step forward to Xu Qianli’s desk, where she knelt down with a thud.

“Leader, I was wrong, I have specifically come to apologize to you.”

“Actually, during this period, I didn’t want to treat you that way, but since Deputy County Magistrate Zhang is strongly controlling the county government, if I didn’t show an uncomfortable attitude towards you, he wouldn’t tolerate me as the head of the Section of Secretaries.”

“But regardless, I have offended you, leader.

Please give me a chance to make amends, I beg you.”

Huang Ling pleaded desperately with Xu Qianli.

She had climbed up to the position of head of the Section of Secretaries with great difficulty and didn’t want to lose this job at any cost; today, no matter what, she must seek Xu Qianli’s forgiveness.

Xu Qianli’s eyes were cold, “Make amends?

I would like to know how you plan to do that?”

“Um, I.”

Huang Ling hesitated, kneeling on the ground and looking up at Xu Qianli.

Suddenly, a blush appeared on her pretty face as she pushed out her already ample chest.

“As long as the leader is willing to forgive me, I am willing to do anything.”

As she spoke, Huang Ling unbuttoned the top three buttons of her blouse.

Huang Ling was famously well-proportioned, especially her bust, which was outrageously large, and usually very appealing to men’s eyes.

She also knew how to dress, intentionally wearing slightly tight clothes every day to accentuate her physical advantages.

Although she was wearing a blouse today, it was still a form-fitting style, the front stretched tight, making one concerned that the treasures might burst through the fabric.

Now, unbuttoning the three buttons, her unrestrained treasures were nearly completely visible to Xu Qianli, causing him to involuntarily swallow.

“Chief Huang, what are you doing?

This way, you are trying to make me commit a mistake!”
