"Well, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now. I'll leave the matter to you, Secretary Fang."
Seeing that Secretary Fang's expression was off, Qin Mu quickly left after saying this, not daring to stay any longer!
What if Secretary Fang beat him up if he stayed in the office?
"You brat!"
"You've got quite a lot on your mind." "
Fang Xiu watched Qin Mu's hasty retreat and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Having spent years navigating the officialdom, cultivating a resolute character, how could he let something like this disturb his composure?
However, this kid is so much like his father, especially the spirit and energy between his brows—it's remarkably similar.
After interacting with Qin Mu a few more times, Fang Xiu even felt he was rediscovering some memories of working with his idol years ago.
"Sigh..."
Fang Xiu rummaged through some memories, recalling the scenes of working alongside his idol back then, and it was truly unforgettable.
What Fang Xiu was thinking now was to maintain some contact with Qin Mu, so that perhaps he could meet his idol through Qin Mu in the future!
Qin Mu and his idol were father and son; they couldn't possibly never see or interact. As long as he maintained contact with Qin Mu more, he would eventually be able to meet his idol.
...
"County Chief Qin, you're leaving already?" "
Qin Mu had just run out when he bumped into Liang Na, who looked at him with a broad smile and a hint of excitement. She asked,
"Yes, I was just reporting some things to Secretary Fang. Now that I've finished, I naturally can't disturb her work any further."
Qin Mu responded, saying, "Secretary Liang, I'll be going now. See you again sometime!"
"County Chief Qin, um... could I have your contact information?"
Liang Na suddenly stepped forward and asked.
Huh?
She wants your contact information?
"I see you and Secretary Fang have a good relationship. If she needs to contact you someday, I can directly call your personal phone number."
Liang Na quickly came up with a 'clumsy' excuse.
"Sure, I'll give you one then." Qin Mu didn't object. The young girl was being so proactive; how could he, a grown man, refuse?
The two immediately exchanged contact information and numbers before Qin Mu left the municipal government building.
What seemed like just exchanging contact information excited Liang Na considerably. The other party was a leader, and a tall, handsome man—it was exciting for her in every way.
Qin Mu, however, felt nothing. In his eyes, Liang Na was just a young girl; he had no other intentions.
By the time they left the municipal government building, it was almost time to leave work. After ordering, Qin Mu headed straight for the Municipal Public Security Bureau. He'd been busy these past two days battling Liang Guan and hadn't had a chance to contact Zhao Yanan.
Of course, Zhao Yanan seemed busy too. The Municipal Bureau had more cases, and with inspections from superiors, she was basically working overtime.
Since he'd rarely been to the city and had some time, he decided to check on things with Zhao Yanan.
However, upon arriving outside the Municipal Public Security Bureau building, Qin Mu was stopped.
"Excuse me, this is the Municipal Public Security Bureau office building. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter. What do you need me to do? I can pass on your message!"
The old man at the entrance stopped Qin Mu directly, his attitude extremely stern.
"Hello, I'm Qin Mu, the county magistrate of Huaining County. I know Section Chief Zhao Yanan of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. I'd like to go in to see her, is that alright?" "
Qin Mu didn't hesitate and revealed his identity, hoping the other party would give him a chance.
"What county magistrate? Here, the Party Secretary and members of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee come every day. The county magistrate should just step aside!" "
The old man glanced at Qin Mu, completely unconvinced.
County magistrate, huh… What a show-off!
These days, which county magistrate doesn't have a chauffeur-driven car, driver, and secretary? This kid has none of those.
Besides, most county magistrates are forty years old. The youngest he'd seen was thirty-five, but this guy looks like a young punk…
County magistrate, huh!
What?!
Do you have some powerful connections that made you a county magistrate in your twenties?
If you had such connections, why even bother coming to Jiangzhou?!
Wouldn't it be better to go to the provincial capital?
In conclusion, this kid is definitely a fraud!
If he weren't just a security guard, and if the municipal bureau weren't so busy lately, he'd probably tie this kid up and take him in to verify his identity.
Well…
Qin Mu looked at the other man… With an impassive expression, he didn't waste any words. He took a few steps back, took out his phone, sent a message to Zhao Yanan, and then waited nearby.
Zhao Yanan would always leave this way after get off work, so he was sure he'd see her.
He waited for over half an hour, but Zhao Yanan's message never came. Just as Qin Mu was about to give up, people started leaving the building one after another; it was clear they were starting to go home.
In the crowd, Qin Mu quickly spotted Zhao Yanan.
However, there was a man beside her, constantly talking to her, but Zhao Yanan's attitude wasn't very enthusiastic.
What… after just two days, Zhao Yanan already had a simp by her side?
Qin Mu was somewhat surprised!
"Yanan, I recently came across a really good Hunan restaurant, shall we go together?"
"No, not interested!"
"Then what kind of food are you interested in?"
"Nothing, I'm a little tired, I want to go home and sleep!" "...
Zhao Yanan was very annoyed. This guy was always coming over, asking her what she wanted to eat or drink.
Every day, breakfast and milk tea, without fail!
Unfortunately, she didn't like them.
"Yanan, just give me a chance, please! I really want to get to know you properly. Just take pity on me and have a meal with me!"
Kang De looked at the spirited Zhao Yanan and said with a slightly ingratiating tone, "I've begged you so many times, please just agree this once, okay?"
Hearing this pleading tone, Zhao Yanan felt a little embarrassed. His father and her father were old friends, and out of respect for her father, she should probably agree, but deep down, she still resisted.
"Yanan!" "
Just then, a familiar voice suddenly rang out. Zhao Yanan instinctively looked over and immediately saw Qin Mu. Her eyes lit up instantly, and she rushed forward, throwing herself into Qin Mu's arms and hugging his neck tightly.
"Ah...how did you get here!"
"We haven't seen each other for days!"
"You heartless thing, you finally remembered to come looking for me!"
...
Zhao Yanan spoke excitedly, like a child.
"How are you? Are you hungry? I'll treat you to dinner!"
Qin Mu asked casually.
"No need, I'll treat you. Come on, I'm starving." "
Zhao Yanan readily agreed, grabbing Qin Mu's hand and pulling him outside.
This scene left Kang De, standing behind them, instantly stunned, especially by Zhao Yanan's words, which felt like knives stabbing deep into his heart!
He had tried every possible means to beg her, to invite her to dinner, but she had been indifferent!
But the moment this person appeared, Zhao Yanan became a devoted follower, so enthusiastic!
It was truly…
This pain was indescribable!
