Chapter 43: Chapter 43 I Am Your Grandson

Chen Dashan squinted his eyes and looked at the girl who was jogging toward him, "Are you talking to me?"

"If not you, is there anyone else in this hall?"

The young girl smiled slightly, revealing neat and white teeth. Her smile was like a daisy in the early morning, fresh and elegant.

Chen Dashan looked around and found that there was nobody else in the hall, not even the staff at the service windows. Had they all gone outside to chat?

"Stop looking. They’ve all gone out to chat."

The girl was naturally sociable and took hold of Chen Dashan’s sleeve, leading him to the place where she had just been sitting, "Wait a bit. When you come here to get things done, you have to play by their rules."

"By the way, what do you need to get done?"

She looked at him curiously, batting her large, watery eyes.

Chen Dashan looked down at the small hand pulling at his clothes. The fingers were slender and delicate, the nails clean and well-kept; it was the hand of a scholar, one used to holding a pen.

It wasn’t like his sister-in-law’s hand nor like Zheng Lin’en’s—much younger, more delicate.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Zhang Xuewen. I am a freshman at the Agricultural University. You look young; which school do you go to?"

Zhang Xuewen tilted her head as she looked at Chen Dashan.

As Chen Dashan looked up, he could see right into Zhang Xuewen’s neckline, unlike Zhao Jiayao’s tumultuous, flamboyant waves, Zhang Xuewen wore plain white cotton underwear with a pink cartoon pattern on it.

The cleavage was neither deep nor shallow, but the subtly enticing shape of the young girl’s chest, like two perfectly ripe peaches, was pert and delicate, with a hint of greenness.

"I used to be at the Medical College, but then I dropped out."

Seeing Chen Dashan’s distracted gaze, Zhang Xuewen thought she had touched on something painful for him. After all, there were many in this small place who couldn’t afford to attend college.

"Don’t be upset, um... you’re also here to get a seal for a leader, right?"

"I am. I’ve been here since eight o’clock. These people either go to eat or to the toilet, and it’s already this time and they haven’t come back to work."

Zhang Xuewen was visibly annoyed, grinding her teeth as she continued, "I want to start my own business at home to develop our beautiful hometown, but you have no idea how hard it is just to get a little thing done."

Chen Dashan listened and nodded. In places far from the emperor’s reach, most things required personal connections.

Seeing Chen Dashan’s clueless expression, Zhang Xuewen frowned and said, "You really are naive, coming here without understanding how things work. Won’t your boss fire you for making a needless trip?"

"No!"

Chen Dashan chuckled to himself. He was the boss, so how could anyone else have the power to fire him? But saying that out loud would make him seem too arrogant.

So, he just listened to the girl chat away.

As the two of them were having an engaging conversation, the staff finished their chat.

A young man with a sharp face and simian features, wearing a dark blue uniform, glanced over and saw Chen Dashan and Zhang Xuewen. He quickly asked, "Who came first?"

"Go ahead and serve him first. He’s in a hurry to get to work."

Zhang Xuewen stood up and pulled Chen Dashan towards the staff member.

The staff member frowned, looking at Chen Dashan with disdain, his gaze jumping past, not wanting to say another word to Chen Dashan. As if saying any more would lower his own class.

Turning to Zhang Xuewen, he said, "Didn’t we already discuss your issue last time? The things you were supposed to prepare—did you get them ready?"

The staff member’s eyes hinted at something as they lifted slightly.

Zhang Xuewen paused for a moment before hurriedly handing over the documents she had, "I’ve prepared everything. Please take a look. There shouldn’t be anything missing."

Wang Ruhu took the folder, glanced between Chen Dashan and Zhang Xuewen, and leisurely opened it.

His face instantly turned an iron blue.

He reached into the file bag and rummaged a few times, as if he didn’t find what he sought. Wang Ruhu’s demeanor changed drastically, his eyes bulging like brass bells, as he slammed the file bag on the ground.

He bellowed furiously, "Are you fucking retarded?"

"Or are you doing this on purpose to mess with me?"

"This is your stuff? I’m telling you today, you will never be able to get this done in your lifetime!"

Wang Ruhu was furious, his face turned red with anger, pointing at Zhang Xuewen while spitting flew.

Zhang Xuewen’s face was full of shock and fear. She had always been the exemplary child in other people’s eyes, the teacher’s favorite student, the obedient daughter her parents adored. How could she have ever endured such treatment?

She was petrified on the spot, tears of grievance streaming down her face.

Seeing this, Chen Dashan slowly picked up the document bag from the ground, wrapping the string around it, whilst blowing the dust off of it.

Zhang Xuewen looked at Chen Dashan’s actions through her teary eyes, feeling a surge of warmth in her heart, and reached out to pull at Dashan, saying, "Don’t worry about me, you go and take care of your business quickly, or you’ll lose your job."

"I really didn’t know what documents they wanted."

Zhang Xuewen had not yet graduated and was unaware of the complexities of society.

"Take care of business?"

Wang Ruhu sneered contemptuously at Chen Dashan, "The two of you, get the hell out of here right now!"

Chen Dashan chuckled coldly, "Are you sure? You want me to leave and not regret it later?"

"Regret it? I’ll be your grandson if I regret it!"

Sun Ruhu gritted his teeth as he spoke.

"Well, you might just become that grandson!"

Zhang Xuewen, anxiously pulling at Chen Dashan, said, "It’s over, it’s over. Please say less, if you offend them, you can forget about doing business for the rest of your life."

"You better apologize now. A wise man does not fight when the odds are against him."

"Country bumpkin, you dare to strut in front of me? Everyone, come and see this!"

Wang Ruhu laughed angrily, this town didn’t have much, but it certainly was not short of ignorant country bumpkins.

Soon, the staff in the office hall gathered around, and Wang Ruhu, as if gaining confidence, looked down on Chen Dashan and said, "This kid told me I’ll regret it. Just based on him? Everyone watch closely, let’s see how he’ll make me regret."

"You bastard, do you really think you’re something special?"

"Shut your fucking mouth!"

Chen Dashan’s demeanor suddenly intense, Wang Ruhu swallowed nervously. He didn’t know what was happening; the murderous aura emanating from this country bumpkin was so intimidating that he found himself shaking.

Zhang Xuewen looked on worryingly as Chen Dashan took out his phone in front of everyone and began making a call.

The call connected.

Wang Shiman’s pleasant voice came from the other end, "Dashan, what’s happened? What made you think to call your sister?"

"It’s like this. I wanted to handle some business at the Land Bureau, but they are unwilling to help, saying that I’d never get it done in this lifetime. So I thought I should call sister to see..."

Chen Dashan hadn’t finished speaking.

Wang Shiman cut him off, "The Land Bureau, is it?"

"You wait there, I’ll call the Township Secretary of Longshan Town right away."

After hanging up, there was a deathly silence at the scene.

The staff in the hall looked at each other in disbelief, and Zhang Xuewen stared at Chen Dashan, her eyes filled with both awe and surprise.

"Hahaha..."

Wang Ruhu suddenly burst into mocking laughter, disdainfully looking towards Chen Dashan.
