Chapter 448: Prepared

The three of us ordered a table full of dishes. Huang Qishan ate to his heart's content, constantly showing courtesy to Xiao Chun'er, helping her pick up food and scoop soup, busy and happy.

Huang Qishan's happiness was genuine; he was now successful in both his official career and his love life.

Although after I took office, the Chunshan County Standing Committee was adjusted, and his glorious position as a Standing Committee member was canceled. But his position as the County Youth League Committee Secretary remained as stable as Mount Tai. Logically speaking, losing the position of Standing Committee member would be a loss, but Huang Qishan was not only not disappointed, but rather self-satisfied. According to his own words, this Standing Committee position of his was a product of extraordinary times, and once the historical period passed, it should be sealed away.

Actually, only I understood his intentions. Whether his official position was big or whether he had actual power, Huang Qishan didn't care. He was a person without much self-confidence; the greater the power, the more he felt inadequate. His happiness came from winning the beauty.

Zhu Hua Yu finally falling into his arms was his greatest harvest in the eight years he had been in Chunshan County. With Zhu Hua Yu, even if he were as poor as a church mouse, he would still feel the sunshine was bright and he was incomparably happy.

This point could be seen from how he served Zhu Hua Yu's daily life every day.

Moreover, he was the noble County Youth League Committee Secretary, with a boundless future.

Xiao Chun'er also seemed to enjoy Huang Qishan's courtesy, smiling and letting Huang Qishan's tongue blossom with lotus flowers, handling everything with ease.

Only I was full of worries, finding no taste in the food.

Halfway through the meal, Huang Qishan threw down his chopsticks, stroked his belly, and said: "You guys eat slowly, I'm full."

Huang Qishan's sudden behavior surprised Xiao Chun'er quite a bit. She opened her bright eyes and asked suspiciously: "You're full after eating just a little bit?"

"Full. Really full." Huang Qishan patted his belly and said: "I have to rush back, Hua Yu is hungry."

Without waiting for me to speak, he called the waiter, asked for the food he had previously wanted to pack, held it in his hand, and said to me: "I have to go back first."

I waved at him impatiently and scolded: "Get lost, you value sex over friends."

Huang Qishan said with a grin: "This phrase should be used on you."

After saying this, he left us and opened the door to go out. Before long, he turned back and whispered in my ear: "Guo Wei is right next door."

I looked at him in astonishment and sneered: "Qishan, you're quite concerned. Where he is, what does that have to do with me?"

Huang Qishan didn't care about my sneer, straightened up, and patted my shoulder: "Whether it has anything to do with you, I don't know. I only know that someone is eating like a lost soul, chewing wax. Eating a meal, yet eating out trouble. I've always been in a good mood when eating. Eating like you, even if you fed me dragon meat, it would be meaningless."

"Didn't you leave?" I asked with a smile.

"Can't I come back after leaving?"

"What are you back for?"

"To help you solve your troubles." Huang Qishan didn't even look at Xiao Chun'er sitting opposite, as if in his eyes, there was no such scenery as her at all.

Women fear nothing more than men ignoring them! Huang Qishan's actions were completely different from his behavior a few minutes ago. Just now he was as hot as fire, now he was as cold as frost.

Xiao Chun'er was not happy and said: "Secretary Huang, you are really interesting, aren't you afraid your treasure at home will starve?"

Huang Qishan didn't take her bait, stared into my eyes and said: "We have to call him over and ask."

I asked: "Ask what?"

"No matter what, he was our group leader back then. It's not right for him to hide something from us, don't you think?"

"What has he hidden from you?" I asked strangely.

"You understand, and I understand."

I had nothing to say. Huang Qishan was a county leader; he wouldn't not know what happened in Chunshan County.

"How to call him? Just go in and call him?" I asked suspiciously.

"You go or I go?" Huang Qishan looked at me with a smile that wasn't a smile.

"I'm not going." I refused flatly.

"I'm not going either." Huang Qishan said with a smile, his eyes glancing at Xiao Chun'er.

Xiao Chun'er was already angry that Huang Qishan had ignored her just now. Seeing Huang Qishan looking at her at this moment, the fire in her heart was about to explode, so she glared at Huang Qishan angrily and said: "Don't look at me, I'm not going either."

Huang Qishan went behind her, scooped her a bowl of soup, and said: "They say the most precious emotion in this world is a confidante. Xiao Chun'er, tell me, do you count as a confidante to our County Magistrate Chen?"

Xiao Chun'er was stunned, looked up at me, and hesitated to speak.

After hesitating for a long time, she said in a voice like a mosquito: "Whether I am or not, it's not up to me to say."

Huang Qishan patted her shoulder and said: "It's up to you."

Xiao Chun'er sighed and said: "Don't say anymore, I'll go."

Once Xiao Chun'er left, Huang Qishan dragged a chair over and sat down, saying seriously: "Chen Feng, no matter how wonderful the outside world is, you must not forget your roots."

I understood what he meant. Huang Qishan had pursued Huang Weiwei back then and had once entered the old Huang family. Just when he thought it was a done deal and opened his mouth to propose, what he got was Huang Weiwei's firm refusal. And at that time, he learned from Huang Weiwei about her love, and her love was me.

Huang Qishan had envied and been jealous. But in the end, he let go. Later he told me himself: "Actually, loving someone is letting her love bloom to its heart's content. Love is not possession, but giving. As long as there is love in the heart, even if it never sees the light of day, it is happiness."

His words just now were reminding me.

I smiled and said: "Qishan, don't overthink it. What kind of person is Chen Feng, don't you know after all these years? Some things, playing along is unavoidable, besides, you also understand, brother, I am currently in a mess."

"I understand, and I understand you." Before the words fell, I saw Xiao Chun'er push the door and enter, followed by Guo Wei.

Guo Wei saw us at a glance, stopped in astonishment, and after a long time came back to his senses and said: "So it was you guys playing tricks."

Huang Qishan said with a grin: "Who's playing tricks? Who has the guts of a leopard to play tricks with our Boss Guo? Isn't that looking for death!"

Guo Wei waved his hand with a smile and said: "Less nonsense, do you have something to find me for?"

Huang Qishan was still teasing and said: "Nothing much. Just haven't seen Boss Guo for a long time, missed you."

"Ghost talk." Guo Wei stood there refusing to sit, and said hurriedly: "If there's nothing, I have to go over first. When I have time, we'll gather again."

"If we wait for you, Boss Guo, to have time, I'm afraid it will be the next century. What's wrong? What's so urgent that you can't sit down and chat for a few sentences?" Huang Qishan's words showed no intention of letting him go.

Guo Wei was obviously a bit anxious, hesitated for a long time, his eyes glanced at Xiao Chun'er, and he asked suspiciously: "Who are you?"

Xiao Chun'er smiled like a flower and said: "Just now I went to invite this leader, and the whole room of people thought I was this leader's girlfriend."

Guo Wei was said by Xiao Chun'er, immediately blushed, turned his head and scolded Huang Qishan: "It must be the bad idea you came up with."

Huang Qishan called out grievances repeatedly and laughed: "If the beauty hadn't gone to invite you, would Boss Guo have come!"

Guo Wei said: "You only know how to play tricks, wouldn't I have come if you went to call me?"

"Not necessarily." Huang Qishan said with a grin: "When I came just now, I saw you, why didn't you pay attention to me when I called you?"

Guo Wei complained: "You saw me? You called me?"

"Forget it. Pretend I didn't say anything." Huang Qishan raised the food in his hand, suddenly realized something, almost jumped up, and scolded: "No more nonsense with you, I have to go, if the person is starved, none of you can afford to pay."

After saying this, he ran away in a puff of smoke, leaving the three of us, no one spoke.

Guo Wei stood for a while and asked suspiciously: "Qishan seems to be delivering food to someone, right?"

"His wife." I said.

"He has a wife? Who is it?"

"The daughter of the old Township Head Zhu from Suxi."

"Is that so?" Guo Wei's curiosity was aroused and he asked: "Old Zhu has such a big daughter?"

"Yes."

"Qishan really has a way." Guo Wei laughed: "Being able to chase Old Zhu's daughter, he counts as a capable person."

"As long as you put your heart into it, water drips through stone." I smiled and said: "How have you been, Group Leader Guo?"

Guo Wei laughed: "Fine, fine."

I remembered Liang Tianxing's matter and wanted to ask, but in the end, I suppressed it hard.

Guo Wei seemed to see that I had something to say, hesitated for a moment and said: "Chen Feng, you seem to have something to ask me?"

I had to say softly: "I heard you know Boss Liang Tianxing?"

"I know him." Guo Wei said bluntly.

"Did you bring him to Chunshan for investment?"

"Who do I think I am?" Guo Wei sneered: "I can't even get close to the door. People like Boss Liang, in his eyes, people like us don't even count as a chicken feather. His background is not something we can imagine."

I was startled by his words. It seems my previous speculation was also wrong. In this matter, Guan Peishan was not the main person either. He might just be a bridge, and the person truly standing behind him must be someone we must look up to.

"Then how did he come to Chunshan?" I asked, pretending to be interested.

"This, you won't have to wait too long to know." He pointed to the next room and said: "The person sitting inside talking and laughing will come to find you tomorrow."

"Who?" My heart skipped a beat and I asked.

"You'll know when the time comes." Guo Wei looked at Xiao Chun'er again, tapped his finger on the table lightly and said: "I'll go over first. Excuse me." ===== CHAPTER 449 =====
