In the office of Fang Xiu, the secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, Qin Mu walked in and saw Fang Xiu sitting at her desk, her face serious.
From the side, Secretary Fang had a certain icy beauty about her; she must have been a great beauty in her youth.
He wondered if his father had ever been attracted to her back then.
"What are you looking at?"
Fang Xiu was engrossed in the documents when she looked up and noticed Qin Mu staring at her. She frowned and asked.
"Ah…no…nothing!"
Qin Mu, like a child who had done something wrong, immediately became embarrassed and quickly denied it, his eyes darting away.
"Look if you want to. I'm not some old witch. Do you think you can eat me if you look a few times?"
Fang Xiu said impatiently, "Come on, sit down. I'll allow you to look at me for a few minutes!"
Uh…
She can do that?
Qin Mu was completely stunned. This Secretary Fang was really good to him! The key point is, saying it like that seems a bit too embarrassing.
"Don't misunderstand, I just see a reflection of your father in you."
Fang Xiu also felt that saying this to a young man sounded like teasing him, so she quickly explained, "I won't hide it from you, I did like your father back then. Letting you see me now is like your father seeing me, making up for my regret. Don't overthink it!"
Uh…
So that's what she meant!
Qin Mu felt awkward and quickly said, "Secretary Fang, aren't you just fooling yourself? I am me, not my father!"
"Can't you just play along?"
Fang Xiu rolled her eyes and immediately said, "Fine, fine, I won't make things difficult for you. Maybe you're right, I'm just fooling myself!"
"Speak, what brings you here?"
After all, she was the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission; she acted decisively and without delay, switching from a joking state to a working state in a second.
Just a moment ago they were joking, and now Qin Mu was suddenly getting down to business.
"Alright then!"
Qin Mu didn't dare mention anything else. He immediately took out a USB drive he was carrying, handed it over, and said, "This contains evidence of crimes committed by Chen Xin and Niu Feiyu, the deputy county heads of Huaining County. During Yu Xuewen's tenure as the secretary of the Huaining County Party Committee, they abused their positions, violated laws and regulations, and were Yu Xuewen's accomplices, committing many illegal acts!"
Fang Xiu took the USB drive, connected it to the computer, and carefully examined it. The more she looked, the more her brows furrowed. The information was very detailed.
"Your information network is quite impressive. Only someone close to Yu Xuewen could get such detailed material, right?"
Fang Xiu was experienced and had a sharp eye; she immediately guessed.
How could she guess so accurately?
Qin Mu was startled, then said, "I actually obtained this by chance. When can we get rid of these two corrupt officials?"
"Right now!"
Fang Xiu said calmly, "I'll arrange for the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection staff to verify the materials. Once they're clear, have them make a trip to Huaining County!"
So fast?
Qin Mu was astonished. Secretary Fang's efficiency was truly remarkable!
"Secretary Fang, perhaps... you could send someone over tomorrow?"
Qin Mu thought for a moment and said, "Just verify the materials carefully first. They can be there before noon tomorrow. Our Commission for Discipline Inspection doesn't need to be this fast!"
Huh?
What does that mean?
She's complaining that the Commission for Discipline Inspection is handling cases too quickly?
Fang Xiu glanced at Qin Mu suspiciously, then said, "What are you up to now?"
"Really, nothing... I just think that handling cases should be both rough and meticulous, fast yet deliberate!"
Qin Mu scratched his head awkwardly, offering an explanation. He was too embarrassed to mention that he and Chen Xin had made a bet.
If he did, Secretary Fang would probably think he was incredibly naive.
"Alright, I'll have someone verify it first."
Fang Xiu nodded, then picked up her phone and called someone in.
"Secretary Fang!"
Soon, Liang Na pushed open the door and walked in respectfully.
"Take this USB drive to the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Office and have Li Fei check it."
Fang Xiu gave the order directly.
"Okay!"
Liang Na carefully took the USB drive, glancing at Qin Mu sitting beside her, before leaving.
As the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, sharp insight is a basic requirement.
She had just noticed, with her keen eye, that Liang Na's gaze lingered on Qin Mu for two seconds, a smile playing on her lips.
As a seasoned member of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and a woman at that, her sixth sense told her that Liang Na seemed to have a crush on Qin Mu?
No way!
These two should have just met for the first time, and she already has feelings for him?
"Have you and Liang Na known each other before?"
Fang Xiu asked.
"No, we just met."
Qin Mu was puzzled, but answered anyway.
"What did you two talk about?"
Fang Xiu was even more curious. For Liang Na to have a crush on Qin Mu on their first meeting was simply unbelievable.
"We didn't talk much, just exchanged a few words."
Qin Mu said instinctively, "It only took a few minutes to get here from the entrance of the Municipal Party Committee building. What could we possibly talk about? Just casual conversation."
A few minutes!
Just a few casual words!
And Liang Na already has feelings for Qin Mu!
Fang Xiu knew the content of their conversation wasn't the point; it was probably Qin Mu's strong personal charm.
Thinking about it, it made sense. With a father possessing such irresistible charisma, how could Qin Mu, as his son, be anything less?
"Do you need a girlfriend?"
Fang Xiu suddenly asked.
Uh…
She can even ask that?
Hearing this, and recalling Fang Xiu's earlier suggestion that he meet her, Qin Mu felt a pang of doubt. What did that mean?
Was Fang Xiu suggesting he temporarily act as her father?
With her…
"Secretary Fang, isn't that inappropriate?"
Qin Mu hesitated, then quickly said, "I know the pain of unrequited love is exhausting, but I can't act recklessly. There are some things I really can't do!"
Qin Mu was too embarrassed to be too direct, so he could only express his meaning indirectly.
However, he was completely wrong!
"What are you thinking about?"
Fang Xiu said irritably, "I wanted to tell you that if you're looking for a girlfriend, I can set you up with Liang Na. That girl is pretty good, from a respectable family, and she's never been in a relationship before!"
What?!
Set me up with Liang Na?
Qin Mu was completely dumbfounded!
He'd been talking nonsense!
"Sorry, I misunderstood!"
Qin Mu quickly admitted his mistake, not daring to say anything more.
"What are you thinking? 'The pain of unrequited love is exhausting,' that kind of talk… wait…"
Fang Xiu hadn't thought much of it at first, but now it suddenly dawned on her. This kid thought she wanted him to dress up as his idol and be with her…
Damn!
This kid's thinking is really warped!
