Chapter 1682

When Su Xinghui returned home, while eating, he mentioned to Lu Xiaoya that the television station had invited him to serve as a guest on their program.

Lu Xiaoya said, "Oh, they want to invite you as a guest? They submitted the report to the Propaganda Department, and I actually read it. The concept for this program is quite good, but how did they think of inviting you as a guest?"

Su Xinghui shook his head and said, "I didn't want to do it either, but they said the first episode is about the changes in Changshan County this year, and I am the most suitable person to be this guest. I couldn't refuse, so I had no choice but to agree."

Lu Xiaoya laughed, "That's great! My County Magistrate Su is going to be on TV. Once you become a big star, you'll have to give me an autograph."

Seeing Lu Xiaoya's cute appearance, Su Xinghui couldn't help but chuckle.

Li Shuqin said, "County Magistrate Su, Changshan County this year has indeed changed a lot. This is all thanks to you. I think it is very appropriate for you to be on this program."

Li Shuqin had lived with Su Xinghui and his wife for so long that she had discovered both Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya were very easygoing and truly treated her like family. Therefore, she was no longer as reserved as she had been when she first arrived.

Su Xinghui laughed, "Auntie Li, please don't flatter me."

Li Shuqin said anxiously, "County Magistrate Su, I am not flattering you. People where we live all say so. When I go to the street to buy groceries, I can hear others saying this. Everyone says County Magistrate Su is a good county magistrate. Besides, I have eyes of my own; of course, I can see that Changshan County is getting better and better."

Su Xinghui was stunned. He hadn't expected that in less than a year, he would have already established such an image in the hearts of the masses.

After being stunned for a moment, Su Xinghui sighed, "I still haven't done enough. At the very least, I haven't solved the income problem for you laid-off workers yet!"

Li Shuqin said, "That's not your fault either; our enterprise isn't under your jurisdiction."

Li Shuqin's reasonableness actually stirred Su Xinghui's thoughts: how could he help these laid-off workers find a way out?

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, Lu Xiaoya said, "Xinghui, you're going to be a guest to record the program, and I want to go too. I'll go as an audience member; I want to see how you record the program."

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Fine, I'll just tell them when the time comes."

The next day was a weekend. Su Xinghui spent the day at home with Lu Xiaoya as usual, while that afternoon, Fang Qing and Zhao Yangang went to meet again at that dormitory of the Education Bureau.

Neither of them were the type to be very romantic. Zhao Yangang was a crude man, and Fang Qing was someone who liked others to treat her with some roughness. Simply put, she had a slight tendency toward that.

As soon as the two entered the room, they got straight to the point. They threw their clothes aside in a mess and moved wildly. After about ten minutes, the two finally stopped, panting, and collapsed onto the bed.

Every time they finished, Fang Qing would comment on her partner's performance that day: "Old Zhao, your rhythm today was different from usual. You basically didn't stop today. This rhythm is not bad, but it was just a little too fast. If you could have held on for another two or three minutes, it would have been even more comfortable."

Zhao Yangang complained bitterly in his heart. If he could have held on for another two or three minutes, that would have been great, but age is unforgiving. How could he hold on?

He hurriedly changed the subject and asked, "How are you doing with that matter regarding Su Xinghui?"

Fang Qing said triumphantly, "I estimate the timing is just about right."

Zhao Yangang became interested: "Oh, how did you do it?"

Fang Qing said, "Wang Liu from the TV station—you remember her, right?"

Wang Liu? How could Zhao Yangang not remember? Such a beautiful woman—Zhao Yangang felt an itch in his heart just looking at her, wishing he could hold her and do whatever he wanted. However, the TV station where she worked had no overlap with the work Zhao Yangang was in charge of, and he didn't have any good opportunities to be alone with Wang Liu.

Besides, Wang Liu's father-in-law was an old leader of Changshan County. Although he was retired now, he was still a person of status and influence in Changshan County, so Zhao Yangang was also a bit wary.

Zhao Yangang said, "What? You instigated Wang Liu to seduce Su Xinghui?"

Fang Qing giggled and said, "Old Zhao, why do I hear a hint of jealousy in your words? Did you also have some crooked thoughts about Wang Liu?"

Zhao Yangang said, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I have any crooked thoughts? I can't even satisfy you alone; how would I dare to provoke that Wang Liu? She's also a character who is 'thirty like a wolf.' If you two—one wolf and one tiger—got together, wouldn't you eat me alive?"

Fang Qing said, "Pfft, then what does that Lin Qianqian count as? A little kitten?"

As soon as Lin Qianqian was mentioned, Zhao Yangang felt a bit awkward. He couldn't deny it in front of Fang Qing, so he could only change the subject again: "Tell me, how did you instigate Wang Liu?"

Fang Qing said triumphantly, "Isn't that easy? When we ate together last time, I saw that this little girl was acting a bit strange; it was obvious her heart was stirred. This time, didn't she want to host some interview program? I told her to invite Su Xinghui as a guest."

"Let Su Xinghui be a guest?" Zhao Yangang felt it was a bit unbelievable: "Can a deputy county magistrate be a guest?"

Fang Qing said, "Are you a country bumpkin? Can't a deputy county magistrate be a guest?"

Zhao Yangang said, "So, did she go and invite him?"

Fang Qing said, "When I was talking to Wang Liu, I kept watching her expression. Her face turned red right then and there, which proved she had those thoughts. She didn't say whether she would invite him or not at the time, but two days later—that is, yesterday afternoon—she went to Su Xinghui's office and stayed inside for more than ten minutes."

Zhao Yangang said, "So Su Xinghui agreed?"
