Chapter 99: Fresh flowers inserted into cow dung

  Liu Siyuan was moved by her words and nodded repeatedly in agreement. He then asked her what she wanted to talk to him about, but she shook her head and said, "You go see Mayor Wang first, the important matter can't be delayed, my little thing can wait till tonight."

  After waiting for about half an hour, Mayor Wang finally returned to the office. Under Chen Jun's introduction, she politely said: "Little Liu has arrived, please come in and sit down." To be honest, as a female high-ranking official at the same level, Mayor Wang Meijuan's appearance cannot be compared with Minister Xu Yingjie's. She had a round face and was slightly plump. However, although she wasn't pretty, she gave people a sense of closeness, unlike Xu Yingjie, who was beautiful but always had a stern expression, making her seem somewhat distant.

  Liu Siyuan respectfully followed her into the office, mainly to report on that ecological agriculture plan again. The latter listened very seriously and did not express a clear attitude, but instead replied directly: "I know about this matter, but specific instructions will have to wait until I officially take office at the Agricultural Bureau." Then the topic shifted: "Little Chen has been with me for three years, and it's really hard to part with her. This time she went to work at Ziwai, you must take good care of her."

  Liu Siyuan repeatedly said "definitely definitely".

  The mayor fell silent for a moment before continuing, "Once you reach a certain level, a stable family is also very important for promotion. Little Liu, although you're young, you're already a county committee standing member. It's time to think carefully about your lifelong affairs."

  Liu Siyuan could only nod in agreement, vaguely guessing that she was referring to the unclear and inexplicable relationship between him and Chen Jun.

  Suddenly, she said: "You go and tell Xiao Chen that I'm giving her half a day off today, so you can accompany her well." Liu Siyuan couldn't help but feel that Chen Jun was really lucky to have met a good leader.

  After informing Chen Jun, she was also moved and let him wait for her to tidy up the work at hand before going in to thank the leader again, and then started packing things to go home.

  "After putting away her things, she said in a soft voice: 'Will you accompany me home to drop off my stuff and change clothes?'"

  Liu Siyuan naturally had no objection and said: "It's just as well that we can also put down our luggage."

  Liu Siyuan followed her back to the rental house, which was indeed very close to the municipal government office building, just a ten-minute walk. He put down his simple luggage and was about to ask what she planned to do next when he suddenly saw her hooking his neck and actively offering him a kiss.

  Liu Siyuan did not expect her to be so proactive and for a moment he was still unable to react.

  Then, without waiting for him to speak, she continued with a slightly shy smile: "Want to go out and have dinner together? I don't know how to cook, sorry."

  It just so happened that Liu Sih-yuan's mobile phone rang at this time, and the incoming call was actually Hu Tianfang. He said straightforwardly: "I heard you're in Hanjiang? Come to Jinyan tonight, old place."

  Liu Siyuan hesitated for a moment and said: "Director Hu, I might have something to attend to tonight. I'm having dinner with a friend."

  Hu Tianfang retorted: "A woman?"

  Liu Siyuan could only say: "Yes, but..."

  "Bring your wife along, it's okay, Ouyang Qian won't come, haha." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone without allowing any argument.

  Liu Siyuan had no choice but to explain the situation to Chen Jun, who fortunately was understanding and laughed, saying: "Then I'll go with you, save on food expenses, and take a look at what the son of the provincial party committee deputy secretary looks like."

  Since she was also willing to go together, it solved his problem. After a while, Chen Jun said: "However, you have to wait for me to change my clothes."

  It was supposed to be just a change of clothes, but in reality it also included washing her face and putting on makeup, which took her a whole hour. This point is exactly the same as Ouyang Qian, making Liu Siyuan sigh that women are indeed no different in some aspects.

  But Liu Siyuan was also tired, having come all the way from Beixi Town and not sleeping well last night, and had just vented his emotions, so he took the opportunity to close his eyes and take a short nap on her sofa.

  He was woken up by Chen Jun's laughter, and when he opened his eyes, he was slightly startled. The person in front of him was still the same person, but her demeanor had completely changed, transforming from a serious city mayor's secretary to a charming and fashionable urban girl. He thought to himself once again that women were indeed complex creatures.

  Seeing his astonished expression, Chen Jun smiled slightly and said, "What's wrong? Don't you recognize me?"

  "How...so beautiful." Liu Siyuan stuttered.

  She smiled and accepted his praise, saying: "As long as you don't embarrass me."

  Liu Siyuan hastily said, "How is that possible? You're so beautiful and you still manage to make me look good." He wasn't exaggerating at all. Any woman who could catch the eye of that extremely demanding little black book would never have a chance of embarrassing him.

  As she spent more than an hour dressing up, it was almost the time Hu Tianfang said, and Liu Sanyuan's private car and driver were also there, so they took his private car over.

  On the car, Chen Jun didn't say anything. After getting off at the entrance of Jin Yan Nightclub, she naturally took his arm and whispered in his ear: "The big boss is really good, with a dedicated car and driver."

  Liu Siyuan hastily said: "Hey, it's not some good car, just a broken-down Passat that's been used for many years."

  Chen Jun shook his head and said, "The car is not good, Mayor Wang only has an old Audi, which is probably worth tens of thousands of yuan after depreciation. The key is that this is a symbol of status, let's say in our Hanjiang City, how many people with the same treatment as us have their own cars and drivers?"

  Liu Siyuan saw that she had a somewhat envious look on her face, so he said: "Working in the countryside has its advantages, but there are also many difficulties..."

  Chen Jun nodded and said: "It can be imagined that in the municipal government, there are many legends about grassroots cadres. I heard that many grassroots masses and even civil servants do not play by conventional rules..."

  Liu Siyuan hastily said: "Not at all, some people have a mouthful of coarse words, and some people take off their shoes and hang them on the chair as soon as they attend meetings..."

  Two people walked side by side, laughing and chatting, into the Golden Goose Nightclub. A group of people happened to catch up from behind, also intending to enter the nightclub. The leader was a young man who looked like he had indulged in too much wine and women. As soon as he saw Chen Jun, his eyes lit up, and he turned around to look at the woman he brought with him, instantly feeling inferior. After all, Chen Jun was a beauty even that magical notebook acknowledged, and today she was dressed up, of course, not comparable to ordinary women.

  She was intimately hooked onto Liu Siyuan's arm, while the latter had an ordinary appearance and a rustic dressing sense, which made him somewhat unacceptable. He couldn't help but mutter to himself: A beautiful flower inserted into cow dung.
