Chapter 3028: You must be careful

~8 min read 1,470 words

Su Xinghui smiled: "Alright, you don't need to emphasize that so specifically. Sit down, I'll get you a bottle of water."

Ling Shanshan was dressed very plainly today. She was wearing a white dress, a long one at that, with the hem reaching her feet. Her long hair was tied into a bun, and she wasn't wearing heavy makeup, looking almost bare-faced.

However, in Su Xinghui's view, Ling Shanshan looked much more pleasing this way. Su Xinghui really disliked women wearing heavy makeup; when makeup is too heavy, it gives off a very strong air of worldliness.

Hearing Su Xinghui's words, Ling Shanshan sat down properly on a wooden sofa. Su Xinghui took a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator, placed it in front of Ling Shanshan, and turned on the ceiling fan in the living room.

August in Baozhou was considered quite hot, but the nights were okay, not as stifling and unbearable as in Shangjun County; it was still relatively cool, so just turning on the fan was enough.

Ling Shanshan said "Thank you" and opened the mineral water to take a sip. After all, it was summer, and she was still a bit hot; there was some sweat on her forehead, and she was a bit thirsty. Drinking a sip of ice-cold mineral water now felt incredibly comfortable.

Su Xinghui said: "What is it you came to see me about today? Is it about what we discussed last time, letting you stay in Baozhou for another three months? It really has been almost three months now."

Ling Shanshan paused for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, it really has been almost three months."

Su Xinghui said: "It's a pity. You really are the best host in Baozhou. If you leave, it will truly be a huge loss for Baozhou TV Station. I've watched most of your recent programs; you hosted them very well. You also paid attention to mentoring young hosts, helping them grow quickly. Thank you!"

Ling Shanshan said: "Mayor Su, I am truly sorry. You value me so much, yet I still have to transfer. If you had told me earlier that time, I definitely would have stayed."

This was the second time Ling Shanshan had said this. Su Xinghui could feel the sincerity in her words. He nodded: "Yes, it's truly a pity, but I also understand you. After all, people strive for higher ground. When you go to Yanzhong City, you must work hard and not lose face for the people of Baozhou."

Ling Shanshan nodded: "I understand, Mayor Su."

Su Xinghui said: "Then you can submit your transfer request to the TV station. I will have a word with your Director Shi."

Su Xinghui's words carried an intention of seeing her out. This wasn't because of anything else, but because he and Ling Shanshan were a man and a woman alone in the same room, which was indeed too inconvenient. Therefore, he couldn't let Ling Shanshan stay here for too long, and Ling Shanshan had also said before coming that she wouldn't stay long.

Ling Shanshan naturally heard Su Xinghui's intention to see her out. She stood up a bit awkwardly, feeling a slight sense of disappointment in her heart. She had never been treated like this before; many leaders, even if they had no evil thoughts in their hearts, liked to have Ling Shanshan sit in their offices for a while longer, as she was pleasing to the eye, after all.

Yet it was Su Xinghui, such a young and handsome leader, who repeatedly kept her at a distance, as if she, Ling Shanshan, were nothing but a beautiful skeleton. This couldn't help but make Ling Shanshan feel a bit stifled; she wished she could just go up and hug Su Xinghui, seducing him openly.

However, Ling Shanshan only dared to think about it. Su Xinghui's upright and awe-inspiring demeanor made her both respect and fear him. And the time Su Xinghui saved her from Cheng Binkai's clutches made her grateful for life. In front of Su Xinghui, she didn't dare to be presumptuous. Didn't you see how she specifically dressed so plainly and properly to see Su Xinghui today?

Ling Shanshan said: "Mayor Su, then I'll be going."

Su Xinghui also stood up, smiled, and nodded: "Alright, then I wish you a smooth journey!"

Ling Shanshan walked toward the door. When she reached the door, she suddenly turned around, looking as if she had something to say but was hesitating.

Su Xinghui said: "What is it? Is there something else?"

Ling Shanshan hesitated for over ten seconds before finally speaking: "Mayor Su, you must be careful."

After saying this, Ling Shanshan opened the door and fled as if escaping.

Ling Shanshan's words made Su Xinghui ponder. No wonder Ling Shanshan insisted on coming to his home to see him today; this final sentence must be the real reason. She must have come specifically to warn him today.

Adding the time she warned him through Liu Xin last time, this was already the second time she had warned him.

What did she want him to be careful about? Su Xinghui could guess; it should be the retaliation from Cheng Huangong. However, he couldn't think of how Cheng Huangong would deal with him. No matter how Cheng Huangong dealt with him, he could only respond to the changing situation with steadfastness.

Since Ling Shanshan came to his home specifically to warn him today, and it was her second time doing so, it meant that Cheng Huangong's retaliation was likely about to unfold.

Thinking of Ling Shanshan, Su Xinghui shook his head with some regret. Such a beautiful woman, such a good host, why did she have to rely on Cheng Huangong? Wasn't this debasing herself?

However, perhaps this was something she couldn't help. Beautiful women like her have always been a resource in this society, inherently seized by various powerful figures. Perhaps Ling Shanshan herself was also helpless.

The application report for the merger and establishment of Baozhou University was approved by the provincial government in early August. Subsequently, the application report would be sent to the Ministry of Education and the State Council. The Ministry of Education and the State Council would conduct an inspection of Baozhou University within three months and make a final decision.

In other words, as long as the inspection passed, Baozhou University would be officially established within three months.

Su Xinghui also went to the capital to smooth over relevant relationships, ensuring that the expert inspection team would not make things difficult for Baozhou University. With Baozhou University's current software and hardware conditions, as long as no one deliberately made things difficult, passing the inspection shouldn't be a difficult task.

The establishment of Baozhou University suddenly became a hot topic of discussion in Baozhou City these days. Almost all citizens of Baozhou City were talking about the establishment of the first undergraduate university in Baozhou City. They were all very excited; after all, the establishment of such a university also signaled that Baozhou was getting better and better.

Baozhou City was indeed getting better and better day by day. Those mines that polluted the environment were shut down, various infrastructure in Baozhou City was increasingly perfected, the economy was improving, the employment rate was getting higher and higher, the per capita income was increasing, and those fitness facilities in the communities were also slowly being built. In short, life was getting better and better.

Now that Baozhou City was going to establish its first undergraduate university, how could the people of Baozhou City not be expectant?

Amidst this major event that the whole nation was watching, Ling Shanshan quietly submitted her transfer request to the TV station. Baozhou City TV Station and the Radio and Television Bureau approved her transfer request one after another. Ling Shanshan quietly transferred to Yanzhong City Metropolitan TV Station and became a host there.

Ling Shanshan's departure didn't disturb too many people, but a few days after she left, the audience in Baozhou City felt a bit unaccustomed because they couldn't see Ling Shanshan on TV anymore.

Ling Shanshan was truly a very popular host in Baozhou City. She was beautiful, had a diverse hosting style, was very natural, and had great affinity, so the TV audience in Baozhou City liked her very much.

Perhaps when she was there, everyone didn't feel it, but now that she was gone and Baozhou TV Station had changed to a few young hosts, everyone immediately felt the gap.

These young hosts, when Ling Shanshan was there, took turns going on shows with her. When they were on shows with Ling Shanshan, their performance was quite good, appearing to have potential, with occasional highlights, which the audience liked quite a bit. ===== CHAPTER 3030 =====
