Chapter 446

Xiao Chun'er's driving technique was skillful; she drove the car like a happy little pony, speeding along, full of pride.

The bald boss's car was very good; it should rank among the top in Chunshan County.

I closed my eyes to rest, recalling the bald boss's words in my mind, and my mood couldn't help but become excited.

The mastermind behind the mass incident at the Cement Products Factory was self-evident; besides Deng Hanyu, who else could it be? Deng Hanyu's original intention was to put pressure on the bald boss, but he didn't expect it to backfire and result in a homicide case.

Deng Hanyu was a city-level cadre, and Chunshan County couldn't take organizational measures against him. I punched the seat in frustration, which startled Xiao Chun'er.

"Leader, what's wrong?" she asked me with concern.

"Nothing," I replied faintly, smelling a faint fragrance on her body.

Xiao Chun'er was dressed very exquisitely, and her makeup was also exquisite. It was as if she were a delicate piece of porcelain that couldn't be touched, for fear of it falling to the ground and shattering into pieces.

Seeing that I didn't want to answer her, she sighed with a smile, "Leader, you've become a big leader at such a young age; it's truly amazing."

"What kind of big leader is this? Just a small Deputy County Magistrate. Back in the day, Lin Biao was a Corps Commander at eighteen," I said, taking my eyes off her body and focusing on the road ahead.

"Historical periods are different. If it were back then, you becoming a Corps Commander would also be a matter of course," Xiao Chun'er said with infinite affection, "I've admired cadres since I was a child. People who are cadres must have extraordinary qualities. When I was studying, our class monitor was supreme in my heart."

She giggled, turned her head to look at me, and said, "You are the most real and biggest leader I have ever met."

I laughed, surprised by her childish words. She could be the bald boss's secretary, so how could she be an ordinary person?

"How so?" I asked with a smile.

"It's true, I'm not lying to you," Xiao Chun'er said seriously. Seeing that I didn't believe her at all, she got anxious, freed a hand, and gave me a push, saying, "If I'm lying, I'm a puppy."

This sentence made me extremely awkward; after all that, I was a puppy!

I snorted through my nose. She seemed to realize that her words were inappropriate and started laughing first, a blush spreading across her cheeks, her shyness evident.

"I didn't mean it," she whispered in defense. Seeing that I didn't believe her, she pushed me again and said shyly, "I'm used to talking like this; I can't change it."

How could I lower myself to the level of a young woman? I immediately said magnanimously, "It's fine, feel free to say whatever you want."

"You're so kind!" she exclaimed again, "They all say the bigger the leader, the broader the mind. Seeing it today, it's truly well-deserved."

I was amused by her and comforted her, "You girls, natural and unadorned, are very cute."

"Am I cute?" she asked me with a smile.

"Of course."

"Where am I cute?" she pressed.

"Everywhere is cute," I said, brushing her off. Xiao Chun'er was the bald boss's personal secretary, and her status was ambiguous; I couldn't have any ambiguous thoughts.

She clearly saw that I was brushing her off; her eyebrows twitched a few times, and a layer of unhappiness covered her face.

"Where is the leader going?" she asked me bluntly, no longer looking at me.

"To the county government," I said.

"Don't want me to know where your house is?"

"No need."

"But I have a mission," Xiao Chun'er's eyes were clouded with a trace of sadness, "You don't want me to lose my rice bowl, do you?"

"What do you mean?"

"My boss instructed me to come, so there must be a purpose," she sighed, "Actually, you can't blame him. After this incident happened, he couldn't sleep or eat; he even had thoughts of wanting to die."

"Is that so?" I asked with a smile, "How could that be?"

"How could it not be? If he had met you back then, he definitely wouldn't be as passive as he is today. Among you cadres, not everyone is a good person," Xiao Chun'er said and added, "I'm not talking about you."

"I know," I said, my interest increasing, "Tell me, what other kinds of people are in our cadre ranks?"

"For example, this cadre Deng of yours is not a good person," Xiao Chun'er said indignantly, "Greedy for money and lustful."

"What happened to him?" I asked with a smile.

"This person is really not a good thing," she fidgeted and said with a red face, "When I came to talk about the acquisition with our boss, this cadre Deng had bad intentions."

"What bad intentions? Was he coveting you?" I teased.

"Oh, Leader, why would you say that?" she was blushing, shy and charming.

"How do you want me to say it? Isn't that what you said yourself?" I said in surprise, "You said old Deng had bad intentions, and I don't know what you mean."

"It means nothing," she stopped my words and began to focus on driving.

She didn't speak, and I couldn't say anything either. After all, I was a leader of a region and couldn't be too frivolous in front of a young and beautiful woman.

The air in the car became stuffy, depressingly uncomfortable.

"Leader, is your surname Chen?" Xiao Chun'er finally spoke.

"What do you think?" I teased her, "You're incompetent; running an enterprise in our Chunshan County and you don't even know my surname."

"I have no interest in inquiring about you officials," she curled her lips.

"You have personality," I praised.

"For us in business, having personality is a bad thing," Xiao Chun'er turned the steering wheel with a smile, "I'll take you home."

I raised my wrist to look at my watch; the hour hand pointed to six. This was also the time to get off work.

"Let me treat you to dinner," I said, "Thank you for your hard work in bringing me back."

Xiao Chun'er giggled, made a face, and said, "What's this about? Let me treat you."

I said seriously, "How can a woman treat a man to dinner? I'll treat you."

After saying that, I took out my phone and called Huang Qishan.

As soon as Huang Qishan answered my call, he shouted loudly as if he had met his own father, "Chen Feng, you finally remembered me."

I laughed, "When did I ever forget you?"

"Bullshit, I calculated it; you haven't summoned me for three months. Tell me, what's up."

"Treating you to dinner."

"Treating me to dinner? Is there good news?" Huang Qishan asked incredulously.

"No good news. Does there have to be good news to have a meal?"

"I can't get away," Huang Qishan said with a mournful voice, "You let Hua Yu take a vacation and go home to do some review, and it's made me neither human nor ghost. I have to serve her every day."

"Not satisfied?"

"How dare I!" Huang Qishan lowered his voice and said, "If I go to dinner with you, what about our Hua Yu?"

"Bring her along," I moved the receiver from my left ear to my right ear.

"She won't go," Huang Qishan said proudly, "Our Hua Yu is now focused on studying. She said she can't lose face for you."

I couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with him and said directly, "Are you coming or not?"

Huang Qishan held the receiver for a long time without a sound, then sighed after a long while, "If the Executive Deputy County Magistrate treats you to dinner, even if the sky falls, you have to go. Where?"

I told him to go to the Huihuang Hotel and asked Xiao Chun'er to turn around.

Xiao Chun'er asked hesitantly, "Are you calling others?"

"A brother is coming," I said, my smile thick. Thinking about how I had been hanging out with Huang Qishan for so many years, watching each other grow, now, two young people from the city were growing up extremely well on this land of Chunshan County.

"I'm calling one more person," I said.

"Who?"

"A woman."

"Your wife?"

"I'm not married yet," I said, taking out my phone to call Li Lian.

"A mistress?" she pursed her lips and giggled.

"Nonsense," I scolded her, "How can we revolutionary cadres have decadent bourgeois thoughts?"

"Who knows," Xiao Chun'er didn't seem to believe me, "Among today's cadres, who doesn't have a few mistresses?"

"I don't," I said seriously, but the shadows of several women appeared in my heart. Could they be considered my mistresses? I couldn't help but feel uneasy. Had I also deteriorated?

"Do you want to have one?" Xiao Chun'er's words were like a sharp thorn, piercing me until I was bleeding.

"Don't talk nonsense anymore," I said seriously.

Xiao Chun'er didn't buy this at all; she reached out, held my hand, and said seriously, "As long as you want to have one, you definitely will."

This action of hers surprised me quite a bit. It had always been men seducing women; where had I ever seen a woman take the initiative to seduce a man? Even with me, between Yuebai, Jinling, and Xuelai, it was I who took the initiative.

I wanted to pull my hand away, but she didn't loosen her grip at all.

Since she wouldn't let go, I let her hold it. Anyway, I wouldn't lose a hair, I thought viciously.

"How about I be your mistress?" Xiao Chun'er went straight to the point, surprising me again.

"Xiao Chun'er," I called out, "Don't think nonsense."

"Look down on me?" she let go of my hand, and a layer of frost covered her face.

"No," I hesitated and said, "I'm not that kind of person."

"In this world, is there a cat that doesn't eat fish?" she smiled lightly.

"There are also cats that don't eat fish," I suppressed my pounding heart and said seriously.

"I don't believe it."

"One day you will believe it."

Actually, I rejected her because she was the bald boss's personal secretary. Would a man like the bald boss leave a beautiful woman by his side without being moved?

Could Xiao Chun'er's behavior be the bald boss's instruction?

I felt as if an invisible net was pouncing on me, and I also felt that there was a bottomless trap under my feet. As long as I took one wrong step, I would never have a chance to get ahead.

Xiao Chun'er took the initiative to take me, and said such explicit and teasing words; wasn't it done on purpose?

I stole a glance at her; she was pursing her lips, a smile that was hard to detect rising at the corner of her mouth.

Xiao Chun'er taking the initiative to throw herself into my arms must have a conspiracy!
