Chapter 144: Municipal Agricultural Bureau

  Liu Siyuan thought about it and could guess that he was here to mediate the recent situation between him and Li Zhexuan. However, he was a bit surprised and flattered that Hu Daguang, who was also quite ambitious and usually busy with official duties, had especially flown to Ziwu for his sake and Li Zhexuan's.

  Hu Tian said on the phone that Zi Wei was not familiar with the place, so he brought his own female companion. If you have a woman in Zi Wei, you can bring her out too, and don't worry, I absolutely won't let Ouyang Qian know about it.

  Liu Siyuan thought for half a day and still felt that bringing one was better, otherwise these guys would be calling the service staff all over the place later. He ran through the women around him in his mind, and only Chen Jun, who also worked at Purple Vines, seemed suitable, so he hung up the phone to ask if she had any plans for tonight.

  The latter smiled and said that there was indeed something going on, a colleague asked her to have dinner at night, since you want me to accompany you, just cancel it.

  Liu Siyuan curiously asked: "It can't be a single male colleague?"

  "Are you jealous?" Chen Jun said with a smile.

  "How could it be? I'm afraid of delaying your good marriage." Liu Siyuan hastily said.

  Chen Jun hehe smiled and changed the subject, asking him how much longer it would take to arrive in Ziwai city.

  Liu Siyuan smiled and said: "At most ten minutes to arrive, actually I am now in the city district to handle affairs."

  "Then you come to the Agricultural Bureau to pick me up, but I have to go home first and change my clothes."

  Liu Siyuan agreed: "Picking you up is no problem, the gathering will go on till late at night, there's still plenty of time, no need to rush. It's just that it seems like you're still a bit early for getting off work now."

  "Anyway, I'm currently idle at work and staring blankly at the newspaper. It's a world of difference from when I was a secretary."

  After hanging up the phone, Liu Siyuan had the driver drive to the Municipal Agricultural Bureau.

  The office building of the Agricultural Bureau is actually located in the suburbs of Ziwai City, a very old five-story building. Liu Siyuan saw the delivery room at the entrance and didn't bother to make a phone call, telling the security guard at the door: "I'm looking for Director Chen of the Agricultural Technology Department."

  The security guard didn't say anything, and immediately helped him make the announcement. However, at that moment, there was a man in his late 20s with a middle parting hairstyle standing next to them, who overheard their conversation and suddenly turned pale, saying: "Who are you? What business do you have with Director Chen?"

  Liu Siyuan was caught off guard and was asked back, only to say: "Oh, I'm her friend, looking for her about something private."

  "This is a private matter?! It's work hours now! Please leave immediately!"

  Liu Siyuan did not expect to meet such an unreasonable person, he thought for a moment and said: "Comrade, in fact, apart from private matters, I also have official business to see Director Chen."

  Zhong Fen Tou coldly laughed and said: "Official business? What are you talking about?"

  Liu Siyuan could only say: "I am from Beixi Town, Cheng'en County... I came here to seek support from Director Chen for our green agricultural base."

  "When he heard that he was from a rural town, his face suddenly showed disdain, but the hostility dissipated a bit. He sneered and said, 'Hmph, what big deal could your town have? If there's something going on, wouldn't you go to the county agricultural bureau? Don't come to our municipal bureau for no reason.'"

  He had barely finished speaking when he caught sight of Director Chen coming down from upstairs. Instantly, a smile spread across his face as he warmly called out: "Director Chen, there's a township official from Cheng'en who wants to see you. I was just about to send him away on your behalf."

  Chen Jun was taken aback at first, then saw Liu Siyuan and roughly understood what was going on. She smiled and said, "Director Lü has gone to a lot of trouble."

  He immediately straightened his waist and was about to continue sending Liu Siyuan away, but then heard Chen Jun say: "Right, Director Lü, I asked for leave earlier and will be leaving now. See you tomorrow."

  "Oh, Director Chen is on leave, oh yeah, tomorrow night..."

  Chen Jun pretended not to hear him, walked over to Liu Siyuan's side, and without hesitation hooked his arm, smiling sweetly: "Siyuan, let's go."

  At that moment, the eyes of the middle-parted hair became disordered...

  Liu Siyuan soon caught up with her and sent her back to where she lived. Along the way, Chen Jun casually explained that the man with a middle parting surnamed Lü was the head of the personnel department of the Agricultural Bureau, and had some kinship with their bureau chief, so he was usually arrogant in the bureau. The guy got divorced last year and has been chasing Chen Jun every day, making her feel overwhelmed.

  Then she said: "Did he say something unpleasant? Don't be angry, don't bother with this kind of person."

  Liu Siyuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm very strong-minded."

  After arriving at Chen Jun's home, Liu Siyuan asked the driver to book a room, probably he won't be able to return to Beixi Town for one or two days.

  Maybe because he had vented at Xu Tingjie's place, he looked a bit tired. When they arrived at her home, he curled up on the sofa and turned on the TV to prepare for a leisurely rest. Chen Jun didn't hesitate, sitting beside him and leaning his body into his arms.

  "It's not just Director Lü, there are several male colleagues in the bureau who have a crush on me." Chen Jun whispered in his arms.

  Liu Siyuan responded with a hum and asked back: "How do you feel?"

  Chen Jun shrugged and said: "I don't know why, I don't have any feelings towards them. But sometimes when I think about my age, I feel a little shaken."

  Liu Siyuan understood the implication of her words and sighed, saying: "Listen to me, if there's a good one, don't miss it. Of course, someone like that Lu Zhuchang can be ignored."

  Chen Jun smiled and said, "Don't worry, that Lu guy is not in my consideration range. However, speaking of which, if one day I really find another man, you won't be jealous at all?"

  Liu Siyuan shrugged and said: "If I were that jealous, I would have been sour to death by your university classmate Liu Xing long ago."

  Chen Jun sighed and said, "That's different. After getting to know you, I didn't have any dealings with him, just some lingering thoughts in my heart... Speaking of Liu Xing, he came to Ziwu a few days ago looking for me."

  "Oh? How is he now?" Liu Siyuan asked curiously.

  Chen Jun shook his head and said, "Same old story. This guy is too arrogant and not suitable for sales work. I heard he offended several big clients and was fired by the company. He refused to return to Hanjiang, saying that going back would be equivalent to admitting defeat. On the other hand, he also said he had some desperate feelings about the southern region and planned to go to Shenjiang City to try his luck."

  Liu Siyuan was somewhat surprised: "Shenjiang City? That's the economic and financial center of the Republic, with an economic strength that surpasses even the capital. My sister is over there, and I've heard that the competitive intensity there far exceeds that of the South."

  Chen Jun nodded and said: "I think so too, but that kind of person won't listen to advice."

  The two fell silent for a moment before Liu Siyuan couldn't help but ask: "What is your relationship with him...?"

  Chen Jun blinked and finally said: "I know what you want to ask, I'm not very clear myself. I think the feelings between friends still exist, but as for romance, it's been a long time since we've had any of that. And you? In your heart, where do I stand?"

  Liu Siyuan was momentarily speechless, unsure of how to answer the question. Fortunately, at a critical moment, his notebook gave him a reminder again, but this reminder was somewhat embarrassing: tell the truth.

  He took a deep breath before saying, "I don't want to deceive you, I actually have a girlfriend, and it's not Ouyang Qian. However, Xiao Qian has decided to be my underground lover forever."

  Chen Jun was visibly shocked, but quickly regained his composure and smiled wryly: "I knew you had a girlfriend, I've been feeling it for a while, but I always thought it was Ouyang Qian. But I never would have guessed that the esteemed Minister of Organization's daughter is actually just your mistress... You're even more of a playboy than I imagined."
