Chapter 97: Su Yang

He had just said that on a whim; he never expected Su Yang to give him a promise or a definitive answer.

After all, given Fang Jingwen's status, speaking well of someone to her required a very deep relationship.

He had just said it on the off chance that if there were any possibility in the future, it would be a heaven-sent opportunity for him.

But he hadn't expected Su Yang to agree so readily. And the most crucial piece of information was that Fang Jingwen would be coming to the hospital tomorrow.

To him, this was no less than a thunderbolt flashing across his brain.

Fang Jingwen was someone who could issue orders directly to his superiors.

In his view, people at this level were likely not even qualified to meet her unless they had reached the rank of Vice Mayor.

If Fang Jingwen was actually coming to the hospital, then the relationship between these two was likely not that simple.

"Thank you, Mayor Su, thank you, Mayor Su. How about this? I don't have anything to do today, so... why don't I stay here with you to keep your parents company?"

"We can chat together and keep your parents company."

Facing such a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity, he naturally wanted to get on good terms with Su Yang.

Su Yang found it hard to refuse, so he had to let Liu Chaoming stay.

The leadership of the County Hospital immediately moved in two sofa beds.

Outside the ward, the relevant doctors, nurses, and the leadership of the County Hospital were all waiting, fearing that the patient inside might have some symptoms that would cause Secretary Liu to be displeased.

Su Lie had been in a daze all day; he had never lived in such a luxurious single room in his life, and he hadn't expected to enjoy it in a hospital.

Watching his son chatting and laughing with the County Party Secretary, he felt incredibly gratified.

At this very moment, he couldn't wait to be discharged immediately and return to their Su Zhuang Village to tell the villagers about what had happened in the hospital.

This would be enough for him to hold his head high in the village for the rest of his life.

Liu Chaoming chatted with Su Yang; although they only talked about informal topics, he would occasionally probe into the relationship between Su Yang and Fang Jingwen, but Su Yang only gave vague, evasive answers.

Being in officialdom, one should always say one part and keep nine parts to oneself.

If one revealed all their cards to others, it would be no different from exposing their hand to everyone's view.

Seeing that Su Yang was unwilling to talk, Liu Chaoming didn't continue to ask; after all, everyone had their own secrets, and he was the same—if others asked about his background and connections, he certainly wouldn't want to talk about them either.

The two chatted for a long while before lying down to rest after 10 o'clock.

It was truly the first time a County Party Secretary had stayed in a hospital to accompany someone who wasn't a direct family member.

This made the entire County Hospital act as if they were facing a formidable enemy, with the full staff on duty all night.

Liu Li had already called her mother, wanting to go in and make a scene to beg for mercy, but seeing this situation, she temporarily abandoned the idea because Bai Daqing's fate was already clear.

No matter what, at least she hadn't been sent to the Public Security Bureau yet.

She firmly believed that with her skills in bed, even without the bald backer Gao Changming, she would soon find another backer.

The next morning, the Vice Director of the County Hospital personally delivered breakfast. Although it was called breakfast, Su Yang took a closer look and saw a table full of food.

If he were to eat it all by himself, it would be enough for half a month. Of course, since Liu Chaoming was here, he didn't say anything; in any case, it was delivered for Liu Chaoming's sake.

Just as breakfast was finished, Fang Jingwen's call came through: "Which ward are you in? I've already arrived."

Su Yang was stunned for a moment and said, "I'm in ward 606. I'll come down to pick you up now..."

Fang Jingwen said there was no need and hung up the phone.

Liu Chaoming obviously realized something too. He stood up, wanting to follow him down to welcome her, but suddenly thought it inappropriate, so he stayed in the ward.

Just as Su Yang stepped out of the ward and walked to the elevator, Fang Jingwen, carrying two gift boxes, had already come up.

"Secretary Fang, I thought you were just saying it casually yesterday, but you actually came. I really can't bear this."

Fang Jingwen rolled her eyes at Su Yang. "This isn't the workplace; stop calling me Secretary Fang. It sounds awkward. Just call me by my name."

"Okay, Secretary Fang," Su Yang said immediately.

Fang Jingwen looked at Su Yang with annoyance and said, "If you call me that, what will others think? Will they say that our Jincheng County leadership traveled thousands of miles to visit the parents of a subordinate town mayor? Do you think today's leaders are that free?"

"And is this logical?"

"I'm warning you, don't call me that again. Just call me by my name, got it?"

After saying this, Fang Jingwen headed toward the ward.

Su Yang hurried to follow.

After entering the ward, Fang Jingwen said to Su Lie and his wife on the hospital bed, "Hello, Uncle and Auntie. I am a friend of Su Yang's, and I came specifically to visit you two. I was supposed to come yesterday, but I was delayed by something. I'm really sorry."

She didn't have to come at all, and given her status, she didn't need to come, but the words coming out of her mouth actually carried a hint of apology.

As she spoke, she put down the two gift boxes she was holding. Seeing Guo Xiaocui drinking millet porridge with a small spoon, she immediately stepped forward and said, "Auntie, let me feed you."

Guo Xiaocui quickly said, "This, this won't do."

Fang Jingwen said, "Why won't it do?"

Seeing this scene, Liu Chaoming was numb. He had originally thought that Su Yang had latched onto Fang Jingwen's thigh through some special channel.

Because he knew that Fang Jingwen was currently the Deputy Party Secretary and Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary of Jincheng County. But looking at this situation, the relationship didn't seem that simple.

Seeing Fang Jingwen being so diligent, Su Lie hurriedly called Su Yang over and said, "Su Yang, this is... how can you let a guest feed your mother millet porridge? This isn't appropriate."

"What is your relationship with this girl? Is she the girlfriend you dated when you were in college? Didn't you say she didn't want to meet us? How come she's here?"

Although Su Lie's voice was relatively low, the ward was only so big, and everyone present heard it clearly. Even Guo Xiaocui coughed to remind Su Lie.

Su Yang's face was slightly embarrassed. His father was really something; couldn't he see the leader's temperament?

Just as he was about to explain, he heard Fang Jingwen next to him say, "Uncle, the one you mentioned was his college classmate, and they have already broken up. You don't need to treat me as an outsider."

Although this sentence didn't directly admit her relationship with Su Yang, it sounded like a thunderclap in Liu Chaoming's ears.

Normally, if there were no such relationship, especially for a woman, she would immediately deny it.

And given Fang Jingwen's status, how could she vaguely admit to being Su Yang's girlfriend? This must be a real relationship.

Thinking of this, his butt, which had already stuck to the sofa, sprang up instantly. ===== CHAPTER 98 =====
