Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Xiaohua really didn't want to eat anymore.

Looking at Liu Yumeng, he said:

"Do you know or not, doing this is very lacking in propriety?"

Liu Yumeng, however, didn't take it to heart:

"What's your problem? Countless men want to eat my leftovers and can't even get them. I'm offering to let you eat them, so just be secretly happy about it!"

Wang Xiaohua put down his chopsticks:

"Let's go, I'm already full."

Liu Yumeng grabbed him instead:

"Don't go. Do you know the Eight Honors and Eight Shames? To cherish grain is an honor, to waste grain is a shame!"

Wang Xiaohua sighed:

"What kind of Eight Honors and Eight Shames is that? Don't just make things up yourself!"

Liu Yumeng countered:

"Then you tell me, which Eight Honors and Eight Shames?"

Wang Xiaohua blurted out:

"To love the motherland is an honor, to harm the motherland is a shame; to serve the people is an honor, to betray the people is a shame; to revere science is an honor, to be ignorant is a shame; to work hard is an honor, to be lazy and hate labor is a shame..."

Liu Yumeng's face couldn't help but reveal a smile, the kind of smile after successfully teasing Wang Xiaohua.

Seeing her reaction, Wang Xiaohua hurriedly stopped, not continuing to recite:

"No, what do you mean by this?"

Liu Yumeng laughed and said:

"You're really interesting! Truly worthy of a Tsinghua Student, able to recite this so smoothly, your memory is really good!"

Wang Xiaohua took a deep breath; he really felt he had been teased.

"Liu Yumeng, I'm seriously telling you right now..."

Wang Xiaohua wanted to warn Liu Yumeng that they were just ordinary colleagues, that speech and conduct needed a sense of boundaries!

But before the words could even come out, Liu Yumeng interrupted him:

"Alright alright, I'm done teasing you! I have to go back. Thanks for treating me to wontons tonight. As a return courtesy, tomorrow night I'll treat you to a good meal in the County Town. That's settled then, I'm leaving, goodbye!"

After speaking, Liu Yumeng stood up and left.

Leaving Wang Xiaohua alone in the shop.

Wang Xiaohua looked at her departing back, then at the large bowl of wontons before him.

He hesitated for a while, but ultimately chose to continue eating.

First, because he really hadn't eaten his fill.

Second, wasting so many wontons by not eating them would indeed be a waste.

After eating his fill, he returned to the dormitory on the Town Government side; Wang Xiaohua's mind was a bit chaotic.

He kept thinking about Liu Yumeng's words and deeds today.

What on earth is this woman doing?

Fallen in love with him?

Absolutely impossible!

From Liu Yumeng's eyes, Wang Xiaohua saw not a single trace of love.

Perhaps in Liu Yumeng's eyes, she really just treated Wang Xiaohua as a plaything.

This woman is really weird!

The two words "weird" appeared in Wang Xiaohua's mind.

Then he deeply agreed.

Right, just weird!

Not only weird!

But also a time bomb!

Can't get too close, can't get deeply involved!

Even more so, can't reveal too much personal information to her!

At this moment, Wang Xiaohua thought of Liu Yumeng inviting him to the County Town to eat tomorrow; he was really afraid Liu Yumeng had ill intentions again.

So his head ached terribly.

He pondered in his heart how to refuse her better.

This person's background is too powerful; can't offend her directly.

Otherwise, there'd be no good days to be had at the Town Government!

In a blink, the next day arrived.

Wang Xiaohua set out early to go down to the countryside to visit poor households, not for any other reason, just so that when Liu Yumeng came to work, he wouldn't be bumped into by her; otherwise she'd cling on saying she wanted to go together, and Wang Xiaohua would have another headache.

Sure enough, at 8:30 in the morning, Liu Yumeng called:

"Hello, Wang Xiaohua, where did you go?"

Wang Xiaohua said:

"I'm going down to the countryside to visit poor households?"

Liu Yumeng scolded over the phone:

"Why didn't you wait for me?"

Wang Xiaohua pretended to be confused:

"Don't you dislike going down to the countryside? The documents that need processing today, I've already placed on your desk. You just handle those documents in the office."

Liu Yumeng countered:

"Who told you I don't like going down to the countryside? I just don't like being chased and bitten by dogs!"

Wang Xiaohua said: "The village we're visiting today has a lot of dogs."

Liu Yumeng was somewhat unwilling, but still accepted this fact:

"Fine, fine. Come back early this afternoon, don't forget our agreement!"

Wang Xiaohua pretended to be confused:

"What agreement?"

Liu Yumeng was half-dead with anger:

"No, it's only been one night, and you don't remember? You wooden fish head!"

"Don't talk about me like that, I really don't remember. What agreement exactly?" Wang Xiaohua continued pretending to be confused.

What is this called?

Using a person's own methods against them!

Liu Yumeng said:

"When we ate wontons yesterday, didn't we agree? Today I'll treat you to a meal in the county town!"

Wang Xiaohua said:

"No need for you to spend money. The wontons I treated you to were only five yuan a bowl. Taking the bus from town to the county town costs five yuan in fare! If we miss the last bus and have to take a minivan down, that's seven yuan!"

Liu Yumeng heard this and got even angrier:

"No, I'm treating you to a meal, and you actually care about that little bus fare? How can you be so stingy?"

Wang Xiaohua said:

"Can't help it. I've been poor from childhood to adulthood, so I developed a habit of frugality. Not like you — one look and you were raised as a palm pearl, putting on young lady airs!"

Then he also said:

"How about you don't treat me to a meal, just give me back that five yuan, then we're even."

Liu Yumeng immediately demanded:

"What do you mean? Want to draw a clear line with me?"

Wang Xiaohua naturally wanted to draw a clear line with Liu Yumeng, but he wasn't stupid enough to admit it directly.

Some things everyone understands is enough, no need to say them outright!

"Don't misunderstand, I really feel you shouldn't spend the money! Why waste that money?"

Liu Yumeng said:

"I've already told my dad. If you don't come, I'll be in a difficult position."

Wang Xiaohua immediately trembled, face full of shock:

"No, you're treating me to a meal, why tell your dad?"

Liu Yumeng said:

"I didn't say I'm treating you at an outside restaurant, okay!"

Wang Xiaohua was even more shocked:

"You mean, you want to treat me to a meal at your home?"

Liu Yumeng countered:

"Otherwise what did you think?"

Wang Xiaohua's mouth twitched slightly, for a moment not knowing how to decline.

Facing leaders he could handle with flexibility and resilience, but facing this woman Liu Yumeng, he was somewhat at a loss.

This woman's way of doing things, honestly, is a bit unfathomable.

At this time Liu Yumeng also said:

"You must come. Otherwise my dad will think I lied to him, and he'll probably be very angry."

Wang Xiaohua had no way to decline anymore.

Because declining would be equivalent to directly offending Liu Yumeng's own father, Liu Xinwen.

Liu Xinwen is the Bureau Chief of the County Finance Bureau, and also the Party Group Secretary of the Finance Bureau.

This person's influence, even Xiao Xueqing has to avoid three parts of his edge.

If Wang Xiaohua offended Liu Xinwen, his future days would be difficult to move an inch.

So he could only helplessly agree:

"Fine, then when I return to town this afternoon, we'll go to the county town together."
