Chapter 510: Being Tricked by Fang Jingwen Until Numb

You ask this, but can't you see whether we're here or not? We two almost got worked to death by you last night.

Xie Siyang rubbed their dark eye sockets and said.

Su Yang hurriedly said: "Enough, enough, how is it getting more outrageous the more you say? What do you mean by working us two?"

This is the township government, not a hotel; we're all cadres Within the System. If any information gets caught, it could affect a person for life.

Especially you two unmarried young women, do you still want to find a partner normally? If word gets out that you two spent a night with some man, that would be unacceptable—who would dare want you?

Su Yang was really afraid; Xie Siyang, this girl, speaks without thinking, saying whatever comes to mind.

If these words fall into the ears of someone with ill intent, and they even make a recording, then it would truly be spreading rumors with a mouth and refuting them with broken legs.

He is now caught in the vortex of the entire Jincheng County and even Lancheng Shi's official circles, and dare not have even a bit of negative news.

Oh, you care too much, what are you afraid of? If we were just a lone man and woman, then people would gossip. What's scary about two people? Do you really think getting drunk could do anything to us two?

Besides, this was arranged by Secretary Fang; who would dare gossip behind our backs? And so many people were watching on the spot—everyone knows what the situation is.

Hearing this, Su Yang took a tumble: Fang Jingwen is out to get me, you won't rest until I'm dead! I thought just making me look foolish would be enough, but I didn't expect she still had this trick up her sleeve.

If Zhou Ruohan finds out about this, even if I had a mouth all over my body I couldn't explain it.

Thinking of this, he quickly took out his phone, wanting to tell Zhou Ruohan about yesterday's events.

As a result, when he looked, it was all missed calls and messages from Zhou Ruohan. He felt completely numb.

He really underestimated Fang Jingwen; this move of hers would naturally let Zhou Ruohan know. It seems Fang Jingwen never intended to let him off, nor to let Zhou Ruohan have an easy time.

No, my phone kept ringing last night; why didn't you help me answer it? This is really delaying things.

Gao Peixia said: "Yesterday Secretary Fang specifically instructed us not to disturb you, and she herself turned on your silent mode, and had the office phone lines unplugged."

She said you have great responsibility and things on your mind; since you drank too much, let you sleep well, otherwise when you get busy later, your personality might make you work nonstop without rest.

Secretary Fang truly is considerate of us cadres! He's the leader I've seen who considers grassroots cadres the most, without equal.

Su Yang said: "Okay, okay, okay, enough already—how good he is, I know better than you."

As soon as the words fell, Gao Peixia and Xie Siyang widened their eyes. Su Yang again felt he had misspoken; just as he was about to explain, his phone screen lit up—surely it was Zhou Ruohan calling.

He quickly made a hush gesture to the two, then answered the call: "I said I'd call you last night, but I ended up drinking too much, even blacking out."

I just woke up and was about to call you back, but your call came first. Don't worry, I'm fine—I was just tricked by Secretary Fang a bit, and then dozens of township cadres drank with me alone; even if I could hold my liquor, I couldn't stand it.

He hurriedly explained with his mouth: it's not that he's afraid of Zhou Ruohan, but mainly because this involves Fang Jingwen, and Zhou Ruohan will surely be angry.

If it were someone else, Zhou Ruohan would at most show a little concern, and wouldn't cause him trouble.

Of course, any man facing a woman on this issue must first explain and seize the initiative; otherwise, it'll be endless nagging and unwillingness to let go. But this involves Fang Jingwen, after all, Zhou Ruohan's status at this time is not County Magistrate but his fiancée.

Cut it out, you don't even know your own alcohol tolerance? He tells you to drink, so you drink? With so many township cadres, dozens of them together would need at least four or five catties of liquor—can you even hold that?

Is your work based on drinking? If drinking could get the job done, Xiushui Xiang would have long become the best township in the county, even the city—what place would there be for you? If it were just embarrassing yourself from drinking, that would be fine, but the key is you brought two young female cadres back to your dorm after drinking—what's your intention?

Going to the dorm is bad enough, but you unplugged the phone line and didn't answer calls—what exactly are you trying to do? If you have any dissatisfaction, tell me sooner.

Zhou Ruohan indeed launched into a tirade; Su Yang felt wronged inside. Normally, if one calmed down and thought about it, it would be clear that on the surface it's Fang Jingwen causing trouble.

But after Zhou Ruohan learned of this last night, she just wanted to check on Su Yang, send him a message, give him a call, regardless of how he was, and have him drink some honey water at night to take care of himself; yet in fact Su Yang didn't answer a single call—wouldn't she have exploded on the spot?

She made at least ten calls last night and sent dozens of messages, but Su Yang didn't reply to any.

Su Yang simply shut up; he knew that at this point, the more he argued, the angrier Zhou Ruohan would get. So he let her vent all at once.

If Zhou Ruohan were by his side right now, he'd have an excellent solution: just shut her mouth. But now he can only listen as she educates him.

Zhou Ruohan spoke straight for over ten minutes, Su Yang not uttering a word. He waited until her anger had mostly subsided, then she asked: "Are you even listening to me?"

Su Yang then said: "Yeah, I've been listening to you."

Zhou Ruohan then said angrily: "As the newly appointed Township Party Committee Secretary, you got drunk on your first day—do you know how the township cadres view you? How the county leaders view you? If the Cultivation Organization knew they'd placed someone like you in this important post, they'd rather send someone else."

Su Yang responded to that, and Zhou Ruohan went on. Su Yang raised his voice and shouted outward: "Oh, I got it—first notify the other cadres, I'm coming over to hold a meeting."

After saying that, he didn't care what Zhou Ruohan was saying, and directly said: "I have something to attend to for a meeting here, so I'll talk to you later—goodbye."

If he were alone, he could lie in bed listening to Zhou Ruohan talk till the ends of the earth—no points lost anyway. But it's almost been twenty minutes, and Xie Siyang and Gao Peixia are still standing here; if this gets out, where would his face be?
