Chapter 815: Chapter 815

Still talking about love?

I’ve been married for ages, okay?

What about that nonsense of a handsome, charming man who everyone loves, and cars stop for him wherever he goes and people give him a thumbs up?

Zhang Hong kept a calm facade, staring at Xu Qianli with anger simmering inside.

Oh Xu Qianli, aren’t you clear about who slept with me? It was you, you bastard!

Knowing full well I have a husband, you still did it with me. It was so intense that I felt sore for days afterward. You’re such a jerk.

Just thinking about it now, Zhang Hong still feels a lingering pain. It’s incredibly uncomfortable, and her gaze harbors a trace of anger.

Others can’t see it, but Xu Qianli can see it clearly, with a smug smile playing at the corner of his mouth.

This mature, alluring beauty was quite delightful. He remembers that crazy time vividly and wants to relive it.

Seeing Xu Qianli staring at her like a wolf, Zhang Hong gets even angrier. You awful man, you slept with me and toyed with me so badly, and you’re still smug about it? Fine, watch how I deal with you!

“Xu Qianli, as the new leader from Hai City, you really don’t understand how to unite with colleagues. Flirting with female colleagues in front of everyone is utterly despicable. I need to teach you a lesson, follow me!”

With those words, Zhang Hong turns and walks away, striding with her long legs and swaying her slender waist and ample hips.

Xu Qianli shrugs and greets Ma Xiaoyan before following Zhang Hong out.

Witnessing this, many people cast schadenfreude-filled glances.

Hahaha, who in Hai City doesn’t know how formidable Zhang Hong is? Xu Qianli, having offended her, do you think you’ll have a good time?

Not even at Cailin County yet, and already dealt with by Fu Guotai and Zhang Dongyang. Now Zhang Hong is giving you trouble—how are you going to handle this?

Damn it, who allowed you, a young guy, to become a Deputy County Magistrate and be so good-looking? It’s infuriating!

Ma Xiaoyan scratches her cheek, “Something’s off, why do I feel Minister Zhang seems to have a prejudice against Vice County Magistrate Xu?”

Upon hearing Ma Xiaoyan’s words, everyone starts gossiping.

“It’s more than just a prejudice; those two are nearly enemies. You may not know, the other day Xu Qianli and Mo Xiaoyu came here to report, and they offended Minister Zhang by mocking her directly, saying she hasn’t had a man for too long and suffers from hormonal imbalance, which is why she’s always upset. Ma Xiaoyan, can you believe how outrageous they were?”

“Exactly, I know about this too; I was present then. Xu Qianli and that girl named Mo Xiaoyu were so arrogant, completely disregarding Minister Zhang. The scene was terrifying. Minister Zhang was infuriated, and they had a huge argument with some conflict. Today, Xu Qianli coming here, Minister Zhang wouldn’t miss a chance to give him trouble.”

“Hey, do you think Mo Xiaoyu didn’t come today because she offended Minister Zhang and got ousted by her? It seems plausible; with Minister Zhang’s power, changing a regular official is easy. As for Xu Qianli, he wasn’t removed perhaps because Secretary Fu and County Magistrate Zhang awaited to deal with him. Minister Zhang grasped this point and let him go to Cailin County to suffer.”

“Makes sense, a lot of sense. In official circles, good connections are crucial; you must manage everything well to keep everyone happy. Xu Qianli, on the other hand, isn’t just unsmooth but also so prickly. Going to Cailin County soon and already offending the County Party Secretary and County Magistrate before even arriving, plus the City Organization Department Minister—he’s really asking for it!”

“People like that, we should all stay far away from him; even if we run into him, pretend not to see him. Never make friends, greet him, or chat to avoid ending up in trouble too.”

“I bet that kid will be run to death at Cailin County, couldn’t stay for a month there, no, not even a week.”

“Not even a week, probably hard to last three days.”

The crowd keeps chattering away, and Ma Xiaoyan keeps listening.

So it turns out that Xu Qianli had offended Zhang Hong before, angering her face-to-face.

What’s with that guy? He looks spirited, so why does he insist on doing things that put him at a disadvantage?

Is it really wise to provoke strong enemies?

She doesn’t get it, Ma Xiaoyan really doesn’t understand.

What confounds her even more is what Xu Qianli said to her earlier, suggesting he could help her rise effortlessly.

Anyone can see that Xu Qianli is barely holding on, yet he claims he can help her climb; what does he rely on? Just his words?

Everyone wishes to rise and climb.

Being in the official circle, Ma Xiaoyan knows her beauty and fiery physique have caught many men’s attention; countless men want to have her.

She’s not particularly high-minded, aware that with her looks entering the official arena, eventually, a man will get her.

Her good friend did, not even as pretty as her, yet after graduating and entering another city-level bureau, she caught the Vice Bureau head’s eye, ended up in his bed in no time.

Though the Vice Bureau head is older than her friend’s father, she still served him well.

The Vice Bureau head was satisfied and introduced her to other friends to enjoy together, making her a shared mistress.

Through these older men’s connections, within a few years, her friend got promoted rapidly, privately accompanying them, while publicly presenting herself as pure and even found a well-off boyfriend.

They graduated at the same time, entered the official scene together, yet her friend became a section chief long before her. She barely scraped by as a deputy section chief, newly promoted, totally incomparable.

Her friend advised her several times to open up, as it’s just that thing between the legs. Whether it’s one man or another, don’t take it too seriously.

With her looks and figure, lowering her pride, finding a big leader is easy. Then, with backing, who would dare bully her?

Future promotions and raises wouldn’t be a dream.

Ma Xiaoyan figured this out, but her original leadership was old and unattractive, with a funny smell; she couldn’t stand it, which led her to apply for transfer to Cailin County.

Before leaving, her friend suggested, stick with either Fu Guotai or Zhang Dongyang, since those two are top brass, choose such men.

Now Xu Qianli’s popping up, without explicit words, but his eyes don’t lie. Earlier, he stared at her with wolfish hunger—his interest was obvious.

Trouble surrounds this guy, yet he’s contemplating her; credit to him for daring.
