Chapter 4: The First Glimpse of a Beauty

  Xu Hui glanced around and saw Liu Siyuan hiding in the corner, also feeling emotional. Zhang Zhenggang was indeed a sly one, and his information was quite accurate. Even Xu Hui himself didn't know Huang Silang's background, but it seemed that Zhang had already figured it out. Helplessly, he could only go along with the situation: "Right, we should also listen to the opinion of the Municipal Supervision Office on this matter. Ah, yes, Comrade Little Liu, say a few words."

  Liu Siyuan became even more determined to play the role of passerby A after understanding the leader's intention, but unfortunately, Mayor Xu unexpectedly called on him to speak and glanced at him, only to find that the mayor's face didn't look too good. It seemed like he had been holding back a belly full of anger, and it looked like he was being framed by someone today.

  "This, Mayor Xu, I just came to the working group and don't fully understand the situation yet. I think it's irresponsible to express opinions without in-depth understanding. How about this? After the meeting, I plan to go visit the hospitalized classmates first, understand the situation at that time, then summarize, and report the opinions of the inspection room to the leaders?" He thought to himself, "Let me see how the hospitalized classmates are doing, it's not like you won't let me see them, right?"

  Xu Hui cursed in his heart: This old fox's subordinate is also a little fox, slippery and cunning.

  Of course, he didn't have any expectations for Liu Siyuan to begin with. This attitude was also within his expectations, and all he could do was go along with it: "What Little Liu said is right, I think the top priority now is to ensure that our hospitalized classmates recover in time, let's discuss other matters at the next meeting."

  Xu Hui adopted the delaying tactic, and others naturally had no opinion. Everyone also needed to digest Huang Sirlang's background and readjust their tone. The meeting was hastily dispersed, and after coming out, Liu Siyuan thought about it and opened for more than two hours, but in terms of substantial progress, there was not a single conclusion, and it was completely a mutual skinning between the various parties.

  After the meeting, Liu Siyuan didn't want to stay in this temporary office either. Since the team leader Xu Hui was nowhere to be found, he made a phone call to Deputy Team Leader Wei Dachao of the Health Bureau and said that he wanted to go to the hospital to visit his classmates. The latter looked at him for a moment, didn't make a fuss, and even politely asked a few questions. Then, he called over Wang Heyuan and had him accompany Liu Siyuan together.

  At first, Liu Siyuan thought that Wei Dajuzhang let Wang Heyuan follow him to monitor himself, but later he carefully considered it and felt that he was being too self-righteous, what was there to monitor about a small shrimp like him? It wasn't until they entered the First Hospital of Hanjiang City that he realized he had indeed been biting the hand that fed him.

  The hospital staff are really something, and these food-poisoned students are all under close protection or surveillance, not just anyone can get close to them. If Liu Siyuan had to find them on his own, it would be a struggle to even locate the classmates. But with Wang Heyuan from the Municipal Health Bureau, he understood what it means to have a smooth ride. In the work group, Little King didn't even have the qualifications to attend meetings, but in the hospital, he was completely transformed, strutting around with his head held high, and all the doctors and nurses were warmly greeting him along the way. Under his lead, they made their way through the winding corridors and into the four-person ward, where Wang Heyuan still had a sly smile on his face, whispering to Liu Siyuan: "Hey buddy, since we're buddies now, I'll let you in on a secret - among these dozen or so hospitalized students, Ding Hui is definitely the prettiest. I'll take you to 'visit' her, hehe."

  Liu Siyuan was speechless for a moment, looking at his classmates, this small matter of looking out for each other could actually be played in such a way that it changed his worldview once again.

  Ding Hui's treatment seems to be pretty good, it looks like beauties are always being taken care of everywhere. According to Wang Heyuan's introduction, other classmates were crowded in a ward with several people, while Ding Hui was arranged in a single room. I don't know which leader made this special arrangement again.

  After seven twists and eight turns, the two finally arrived at a single room. Liu Si saw from afar that there was a girl lying on the hospital bed, while another girl stood beside it with her back to him. However, just by looking at her silhouette, her slender long legs, and the delicate curve of her waist, Liu Si swallowed hard several times. When the standing girl turned around, he was left with only two words: top-grade!

  At this time, the notebook in his arms suddenly shook violently, and the intensity made Liu Siyuan worry that it would fall apart. It seems that this thing has also come to an end. He didn't want to pay attention to it, but unfortunately, the noise was too loud, so Liu Siyuan could only pretend to be nonchalant and take out the notebook to open it. On the screen, several words appeared: Fang Xinyi A-level.

  By the way, this little black book also doesn't know where it learned its foreign language skills, and it even dares to give scores to beautiful women by itself. Generally, they are divided into four levels: S, A, B, and C. Those below level C aren't even worth its attention, being magnificently ignored.

  What's even more deadly is that this guy has high standards, among so many female colleagues in the entire municipal government office, only two can enter his eyes. One is a newlywed young woman who was rated B-level, and the other is Chen Jun, the exclusive secretary of the only female vice mayor, who was rated C-level. Liu Siyuan also admits that this guy has good taste, those two are indeed outstanding in the municipal government, which is undeniable.

  And this time he scored A, which is Liu Siyuan's second highest score since he got this treasure.

  Liu Siyuan suddenly had a thought and hastily wrote: "Can it be soaked?"

  Very soon, two more words appeared automatically: Very difficult.

  It wasn't until Liu Siyuan finally came back to his senses that he was relieved to find that Wang Heyuan beside him was even more awkward, staring blankly at the beautiful woman in front of him.

  He had to cough before he was pulled back to reality.

  Actually, Fang Xinyu was already used to men's unnatural behavior towards her, but she was still a bit curious about Liu Siyuan's actions. This guy took out his notebook and wrote a few words after seeing her, could he be the legendary extreme pervert?

  Liu Siyuan didn't know that he was already quite close to being a pervert in the beautiful woman's eyes, and he quickly adjusted his emotions and said: "This should be Ding Hui's good friend, right?"

  The beautiful woman nodded and politely said: "My name is Fang Xinyi, Xiao Hui's classmate and roommate."

  Liu Siyuan said with an air of elegance, "Hello, Fang classmate. I am Liu Siyuan from the Municipal Government's Supervision Office, entrusted by Secretary Zhang to visit our classmates who are hospitalized due to food poisoning."

  I thought Fang Xinyi would also say a few words of TV clichés, and even hold her own hand with a look of finally seeing a loved one. But instead, she coldly laughed and said indifferently: "What's there to see? If you people from the relevant departments had taken care of Xiaohui, wouldn't she have recovered faster? You don't do what you should be doing, but just play with empty words. Not even daring to touch Huang Silang, isn't he just a deputy provincial governor's brother-in-law?"

  Liu Siyuan was immediately stunned, it turned out that this female student knew everything. However, he also couldn't not respond, especially in front of the beauty, he and other male students were also a little hot-blooded, so he said: "Fang classmate's words are wrong, looking at Ding Hui classmate is also representing our city government inspection room's intention, Ding classmate is not fighting alone."

  Ding Hui, who had been silent on the hospital bed all along, couldn't help but burst out laughing. Even Fang Xinyi, who had a cold expression earlier, now had an expression that was both crying and laughing at the same time, and whispered: "Thick-skinned indeed."

  "As for the matter of Huang, the investigation team led by Mayor Xu is seriously, responsibly and actively discussing it. I believe they will definitely give a satisfactory answer to all the students." Liu Siyuan continued, emphasizing that under the leadership of Mayor Xu, he also wanted to shirk responsibility.

  However, this little thought seemed to be unable to deceive Fang Xinyu, who soon sneered again: "What if you're not satisfied? Do you mean that Mayor Xu should be responsible for it? And has nothing to do with you? You don't look very old, but I didn't expect you to be so oily already. The municipal government is indeed a big dye vat."

  Liu Siyuan's old face turned red with embarrassment, and he could only force himself to say, "Of course I will also take responsibility."

  "Oh? You really dare to bully the deputy governor's younger brother-in-law?" Fang Xinyi said with a provocative expression.

  "This... how can I?" Liu Siyuan was a bit embarrassed.

  "Hmph, just you dare, whatever you want!" As soon as the words left her mouth, Fang Xinyi felt a linguistic faux pas and her face turned red, hastily changing her tone to say: "I'll treat you to dinner."

  Liu Siyuan thought to himself, "Let's not talk about whether I have the ability or not. Even if I do, if I really mess with the deputy provincial governor's younger brother-in-law, I estimate that at best, I'll be transferred to a trivial position like the Party History Office, and maybe even lose my job. And then you'd just change your mind after one meal? If you're willing to be my girlfriend, it might still be worth considering."

  Ding Hui's weak voice interrupted someone's daydreaming, "Xin Yi, forget it, forget it, they're also here to see me, don't fight over it."

  At this time, Liu Siyuan suddenly realized that he had forgotten the main character and hurriedly made a series of polite remarks, all of which were about Ding Hui's classmates being at ease and not having to worry, and what the municipal government said was also useless. The expression on Fang Xinyi's face next to him looked like she was about to vomit.

  At this time, another thoroughly ignored figure, Wang Heyuan, also came in strong, and when it came to speaking in clichés, he used all the primary and secondary school language writing techniques such as antithesis, emphasis, analogy, and metaphor. Fang Xinyi probably couldn't take it anymore and quietly slipped out, but Liu Siyuan listened with great interest, it seems that among public servants, there are indeed hidden dragons and sleeping tigers. Looking at Wang Heyuan speaking with saliva flying everywhere, he spoke for half a day without repeating himself, even clearly and logically, with a strong foundation, really worth learning from.

  He took the opportunity to carefully examine Ding Hui, who was lying in bed, and indeed looked very delicate. As Liu Siyuan said, it would not be an exaggeration to say that her face was beautiful. However, the notebook in his hand showed no reaction, apparently, in its eyes, she couldn't even be considered a beauty, let alone a C-grade one. Liu Siyuan thought carefully and felt that this notebook's standards were a bit too high, but it was also fair. The deputy mayor's secretary, Chen Jun, who had been rated as C-grade by the city government, was indeed slightly better than Ding Hui.

  She looked up and found that Fang Xingyu had already walked out of the ward, Liu Siyuan also sneaked out to give Wang Heyuan a chance. At the door of the ward, the beautiful woman Fang Xingyu was sitting on the long bench outside the ward in a daze.

  "Fang, I was also a university student like you a year ago. I can understand your thoughts." Liu Siyuan said with initiative.

  "You don't even have good friends, and you can't understand food poisoning." The latter raised his head coldly.

  "Alas, I'm also a person in the world who can't control his own body." Liu Siyuan also had no choice but to speak the truth.

  "So even the basic principles of being human are gone? How much is Huang Si Lang's monthly salary? Can he afford a villa worth 10 million? You say he didn't embezzle, who would believe that?! But you guys just don't dare to touch him! And yet you still have the nerve to say you're serving the people!" Fang Xin Yi said with hatred.

  Liu Siyuan's heart seemed to have been moved a little, and he wasn't someone who hadn't had his share of youthful angst. It was just that over the past year, all his edges had been smoothed out. He let out a sigh and sat down on the long bench across from him, speaking softly: "Who says I don't have a conscience? I do, but I'm just a small fry. My parents are ordinary workers in the county town, and it's already a stroke of luck that I was able to pass the civil service exam. If I were to lose this iron rice bowl for the sake of a momentary whim, I don't know how heartbroken my parents would be. How can you expect me to dare act rashly? This is the sorrow of being a small fry. Hey, if I had a provincial party secretary as a father, I could also be as arrogant as you are. Who doesn't know how to talk the talk? Maybe I'd even take down that Huang Si Lang's brother-in-law along with him. With a vice-provincial governor like that, it's no wonder he's not a good thing."

  Fang Xinyu looked at him dazedly for a while, before slowly calming down and shaking her head: "Actually, even if your dad is the provincial party secretary, he can't easily take down a vice-provincial governor, do you think being a provincial party secretary is like being an emperor?"

  "Isn't it?"

  Fang Xinyu burst out laughing and said, "That's right, in the eyes of small people like us, a provincial party secretary is indeed a local emperor. Maybe it's a bit difficult to deal with a vice governor, but annihilating a small clerk like you would be a matter of minutes."

  Liu Siyuan still remembered the first time he saw her smile, it was as if the cold winter had suddenly turned into spring. He didn't continue speaking, at this moment of decision, he opened his laptop without hesitation and wrote a sentence: Should I shave or not?

  Of course, he also wrote casually. Liu Siyuan was used to writing down any difficult problems and the notebook didn't always answer every time. However, this time it didn't disappoint him. The reply was a rhetorical question: For the country or for beauty?

  Liu Siyuan sighed and felt that this living treasure was becoming more and more "humanized". He glanced at the beautiful woman in front of him, gritted his teeth, and wrote down the five words "Beautiful woman, Fang Xinyi". Sure enough, the laptop responded quickly, with just one word: "Sweat!"

  As expected, his own words just now didn't work either. It seems that only having a relationship with Huang Si Lang is the necessary condition for Bao Fang's heart to be at ease. He couldn't help but write again: What if it's for the sake of the country?

  After a while, four words appeared on the laptop: 'One stroke to the end!'
