Chapter Thirteen New Situation

  "Chen Gong, the village's small reform plan has already been approved by the city. I personally delivered the meeting minutes to you, so can't you just do a good job now?" Qi Xiaonan was indeed a trustworthy person and took on Song Huiyun's request.

  Li Aimin left the demolition site in a dejected mood, Chen Gong broke free from the police's hands, holding the meeting minutes and approval documents, rushed to the entrance of the village primary school, "Teacher Li, children, you quickly look, our village primary school has hope now".

  "Teachers and classmates, the government cares about us, we have a better road ahead of us to continue moving forward, we leave here, we go to a wider stage..."

  Demolition and relocation work has been completed smoothly.

  That evening, Chen Gong and Wei Shuqin came to Li Wenyuan's home together.

  "Uncle Chen, I represent my classmates to toast you a glass of wine. I'll use water instead of wine, thank you for giving us the opportunity to attend good schools. And your girlfriend Wei Auntie also has to drink." Village elementary school student Zhao Xiaoyan picked up her water cup.

  "Xiao Yan, you guys should study hard from now on. Once you acquire knowledge and grow up, you'll have a bright future. Uncle wishes you excellent grades and healthy growth."

  "I also clinked glasses with Xiaoyan, Wei Auntie wishes you to become more and more beautiful, all the boys in our class are surrounding you" Wei Shuqin poured a small amount of white wine into her cup.

  "Xiao Wei you can drink as much as you want, Chen Gong has to get rid of it, this is the 1573 wine that I spent almost a month's salary on." Li Wenyuan poured himself another full glass.

  He licked his lips and said, "Little Wei, I see you usually care about Chen Gong a lot. Today, at my place, don't worry about him drinking."

  Wei Shuqin thought to herself, "Oh no, I usually show that I care about Chen Gong, how could this happen? He and I don't have any direct relationship." "I was misunderstood, Teacher Li, he and I are just ordinary friends, if he wants to drink a lot then let him, it's none of my business," Wei Shuqin explained.

  "It's nothing, many married men and women started from ordinary friends, Chen Gong is a good guy, you can't let him go." Li Wenyue could see that the two young people had some affection for each other.

  Wei Shuqin stuck out her tongue, her face flushed red, Chen Gong seemed very relaxed, mind your own business, if you really want to deliver it to the door, just accept it, anyway, beauties are not afraid of more.

  Li Wenyuan patted Chen Gong's arm, "Little Chen, we owe you one this time. Without your bold ideas, we wouldn't have known what to do for a long time. The village school's hardware and software are no match for the district elementary schools. It's their good fortune that the kids can go to better schools."

  "Teacher Li, I'm just doing what a public servant should do."

  "Nowadays, there are not many young people like you who dare to think and act boldly, and are willing to take risks. Most people just go through the motions in their posts, and those in power only think about themselves and their families, with few considering the needs of the masses."

  "Is Teacher Li going to take the exam at the end of July?"

  "Of course I'll go. In the early years, I voluntarily gave up a small job at Xin Bridge, just thinking of bringing cultural knowledge to this poor place and teaching these poor children how to be human."

  "Teacher Li, don't mention me, there aren't many teachers like you either."

  A group of people chatted and laughed as the sky slowly darkened.

  Another place.

  Li Aimin of Qinghe Town was also drinking with Wang Zhiyuan from the demolition office at this time, "Damn it!!! Qi Xiaonan, Chen Gong, I'm not done with you guys yet. Director Wang, find someone to send an anonymous letter to Wang Guoqiang tomorrow."

  "No problem, Director Li, let's see how Wang Guoqiang handles this now."

  "Yes, Qixiao Nan embezzled the village's small funds, this is a big deal, and it's right at the forefront of the village's reform. I'll see how Wang Guoqiang handles it."

  Wang Zhiyuan scratched the back of his head, "Mayor Li, what if Wang Guoqiang ignores the letter and pretends he doesn't know about it? Wouldn't that just blow over?"

  "It's over, I'll see how he gets past this. If there's no movement within a week, hand over the materials you have to Village Xiao's teacher, that leader. This will definitely make Wang Guoqiang get into trouble, he still wants to succeed in his temporary post and grab the town head position next term, but that position is mine. With Wang Guoqiang's power weakened, I'll deal with Chen Gong again. Recently, I haven't bothered him, yet he dared to provoke me, and Qi Xiaonan actually helped him, who knows what's wrong with her brain? I'll make sure those two scoundrels don't have a peaceful day."

  At night, Chen Gong and Wei Shuqin came out of Li Wenyuan's house. Wei Shuqin supported Chen Gong who was a bit dizzy, Chen Gong shook his head, trying to sober himself up.

  "Shuqin, we've arrived at the town government office. When you drive back to Xin Qiao Road, be sure to slow down. This is the latest you'll be returning." Chen Gong glanced at his watch, it was already 11 o'clock at night, and they still had a 20-minute walk on the small road before reaching Qinghe Government.

  "You'd better take care of yourself, don't faint on the road in a while, I won't be able to hold you up." Wei Shuqin supported Chen Gong as they walked on the road, and it was indeed very strenuous. The temperature was high, the weather was sultry, and Wei Shuqin was already drenched in sweat, with the clasp of her bra at the back already soaked through. If it were daytime, it would have been easily undone by people's gaze.

  Chen felt the sweat on Wei Shuqin's palm, "You wait here for a moment, I'll go to the side and throw up, it will be better this way. You're tired from supporting me while walking."

  Chen Gong was crouching beside a small tree, and the thing in his stomach came out of his mouth with gas, and his blood pressure rose rapidly. He felt dizzy and tight-headed. Just then, "Ah! Chen Gong, save me!!!" Wei Shuqin's cry for help came over.

  Chen Gong took a deep breath and spat out the debris in his mouth, stood up and adjusted his breathing. Time was pressing, Chen Gong didn't care if there were stones or pits on the ground, he heavily trampled everything and rushed towards the source of the sound.

  In this rural area, there was a lamp every few dozen meters. Chen Gong ran towards several blurry figures.

  "What are you doing? Let her go!" Chen Gong shouted loudly, his mind was in a mess, what to do, he wanted to save Shu Qin, but he knew he was drunk and couldn't do anything.

  "Chen Gong, save me." Wei Shuqin was held in place by two men and couldn't move.

  "What's the relationship between you and this beauty? If there isn't one, then get out of here. Don't pretend to be a hero saving a beauty, or I'll beat you into a pulp," one of the men said viciously as he walked over and pushed Chen Gong to the ground with one hand.

  "He's my girlfriend, don't you need money? I have over 2,000 yuan on me, I'll give it all to you, just let her go, please. You can take my clothes too, phone, shoes, take whatever you want from me." Chen Gong supported his body with both hands, kneeling on the ground, and had even thought of dying. Drinking had gotten him into trouble. If he hadn't been drinking, he could have fought them off and let Wei Shuqin escape on her own. He felt guilty towards Shuqin and didn't want her to get hurt at all.

  "Is he your boyfriend?" a man asked Wei Shuqin.

  "Yes, he is my boyfriend." Wei Shuqin's tears welled up in her eyes as she stared firmly at Chen Gong on the ground. She knew that today might be unavoidable, and with a sob, she asked Chen Gong, "Chen Gong, if I'm no longer pure, would you still want me to stay by your side, clinging to you all day like now?"

  "I'm willing, I'm willing, I like you." Chen Gong also burst into tears.

  Another man stepped forward and said, "I see you're still trying to get married now. We've taken the woman away, so you bastard, get out of here."

  Chen Gong stood up and said, "I'll fight it out with you."

  Of course, the result was imaginable. Chen Gong fell heavily to the ground again. But he still used his last breath to stand up. "You can't take her away unless you kill me."

  "This kid is really troublesome, forget it, let's just take our money and leave." said one timid-looking person to another.

  "Uh... fine, take the money and leave. The fewer things we have to deal with, the better. We can just take the money and go play in the city district instead."

  After the two left, Wei Shuqin sat on the vegetable field, supporting Chen Gong, "What I said earlier is all invalid, in that situation, how many sentences are true, don't think wildly, we are just ordinary friends." Wei Shuqin moved away Chen Gong's unscrupulous hand.

  Chen Gong shook his head, "Alas, I thought I had arrived in heaven, but who knew the angel would come to hell as a guide? It turns out this is actually hell."

  "Right, I don't think we need to call the police. It's better to lose some money than to risk trouble later on. What if they can't catch the person and you have problems afterwards?" Chen Gong said.

  "Are you worried about me? Forget it, I see how deeply you care for me, so I'll reluctantly agree to let you join the ranks of those pursuing me." Wei Shuqin's heart felt sweet, a man who was willing to do tasks for her was someone she could rely on, not one who would speak sweet nothings to her.

  "I will love you with all my might. Can I stay in your dorm tonight? I'll sleep on the floor." Chen Gong was overjoyed, just like when he became the town mayor.

  "No, I'm going back to the hotel in Xin Qiao. And why do you keep staring at me? Don't look at me again." Wei Shuqin quickened her pace and walked ahead of Chen Gong.

  Arriving at the town government office, Chen Gong watched as Wei Shuqin drove her Honda towards the direction of Xin Bridge. Alas, I have no experience in chasing girls, who can I ask for advice? My head is all big (with worry).

  At this time, in Li Wenyuan's home.

  "The task was very successful, take the money, choose a suitable time and I will talk to them. The actors still need to have a salary. If we don't make some arrangements, how can these two young people go further?" Li Wenyue smiled complacently. Chen Gong, I've repaid your kindness, I've found you such an excellent and beautiful girlfriend, I hope you'll be happy.

  The next day, as soon as Wang Guoqiang went to work, he found an anonymous letter on his office desk. He immediately realized that it might be a trap. "How could this happen? If I don't deal with it, it may become a petition event. Maybe when the time comes for the petition, they will say that I was informed of this matter before; if I do deal with it, then Qi Xiaonan is not someone I can handle. It seems like I've been calculated by others. Just as the village's small matter was about to come to an end, another new situation has arisen."

  Although Wang Guoqiang's brother-in-law Liu Yadong is a member of the Standing Committee of Xin Qiao District and deputy district head, others only know that Qi Xiaonan has connections in the city and district governments, but no one in the town knows what kind of relationship he has. However, Wang Guoqiang, who has been working as a section chief in the district for so long, and his brother-in-law's relationship, he is aware of it.
