The Beautiful County Magistrate
Chapter 139 Just a Kiss, Lying Makes You a Puppy!

Chapter 139: Chapter 139 Just a Kiss, Lying Makes You a Puppy!

"I trust you," outweighs thousands of words.

He Lili gave Xu Qianli the brightest smile, ignoring He Caixia nearby, passionately kissing him with her red lips.

After the kiss, He Lili gave He Caixia a look, then left swaying her slender waist and ample hips.

From that look, He Caixia understood she was to take good care of Xu Qianli, using her charming and captivating body.

Soon, only Xu Qianli and He Caixia were left in the room.

Like the most obedient little wife, He Caixia took on the role of caring for Xu Qianli, becoming the most attentive caregiver.

Naturally, time spent with a beautiful woman was joyful, and amidst his happiness, Xu Qianli immediately began doing several things.

First, he made a call to Ge Changhong, instructing him to notify Fan Hua to hold off on Li Zhu for the time being.

Since Zhang Kuisan thought he had leverage over him by using Li Zhu’s gift as a threat, Xu Qianli decided to let him feel triumphant for a while.

When a more suitable opportunity arose to bring down Li Zhu, it might have an unexpected effect, potentially taking down Zhang Kuisan as well.

Soon, news came from Ge Changhong that the Disciplinary Committee’s people sent to arrest Fan Hua had already reached Qingshan Town’s boundaries and had withdrawn timely after receiving the notice.

With that matter handled, Xu Qianli made several calls, busying himself with rallying the supporters of the old County Magistrate.

When the old County Magistrate was alive, nearly everyone at the County Government and its departments was his supporter.

After the old County Magistrate’s death, his supporters scattered, either siding with Zhang Kuisan, being transferred away, or fallen through the cracks, leaving only a few diehard remnants. Upon receiving an olive branch from Xu Qianli, they immediately agreed.

Unfortunately, the most crucial County departments were now under Zhang Kuisan’s control.

Having acted as the interim County Magistrate for over a month, his methods were harsh, enough to earn some reluctant admiration.

The third task was to closely monitor the movements at the County Government.

Lan Qianrong taking up her post in Jiang City earlier than expected had caused quite a stir, catching Zhang Kuisan and others off guard.

After her arrival, she immediately convened a regular meeting of the Jiang City County Government to listen to the work reports from various departments, thus announcing her presence to all.

From the information Xu Qianli received, that meeting seemed full of tension. Zhang Kuisan, Zeng Changyun, and Ding Biao, among others, were extremely cold towards Lan Qianrong, even engaging in verbal skirmishes without maintaining any superficial cordiality.

Clearly, through such attitudes, they were showing they did not welcome Lan Qianrong’s arrival.

Based on the current situation, if they couldn’t handle Zhang Kuisan, Lan Qianrong’s work at the Jiang City County Government would simply be unmanageable.

Unexpectedly to Xu Qianli, after the meeting, Lan Qianrong designated Lan Jiao to temporarily handle some clerical work.

Xu Qianli was well aware of Lan Qianrong’s intentions, obviously cracking the whip at him, blatantly telling him that if he couldn’t help her deal with Zhang Kuisan, she could easily replace him with someone else.

Xu Qianli was deeply familiar with the new County Magistrate Lan Qianrong’s stunning face and her seductive body; he had been unable to keep his hands off her that night and knew her inside out, yet her thoughts were utterly opaque to him.

She had distinctly appointed him as her secretary yet refused to open up to him, instead repeatedly whipping him to spur him on to work for her. This kind of tactic made Xu Qianli, who was used to interacting with the old County Magistrate, quite uncomfortable.

But thinking about it from another angle, he realized, perhaps this was the normal interaction between most leaders and their secretaries.

A leader like Lan Qianrong simply needed a subordinate who could alleviate her concerns and solve her problems.

If he could be of use to her, everything else would be negotiable.

If he couldn’t make use of her, he would not be polite and would kick her out without hesitation.

Xu Qianli did not expect that after a passionate night with Lan Qianrong, she would see him in a different light.

To earn her trust, it still had to be through strength and tactics.

As Xu Qianli was lost in thoughts, a small hand reached out, and Zhang Caixia gently pushed on Xu Qianli’s leg.

"What are you thinking about? You’re so lost in thought. Is it something work-related?"

Xu Qianli said, "You really can’t hide anything from you, Sister Caixia. I was thinking about work, about how I should get along with County Magistrate Lan in the future."

"The way to get along with people is to be sincere."

"If you are sincere to her, unless she is hard-hearted, she will remember your kindness."

"Moreover, County Magistrate Lan is a woman, and she’s even more sensitive. Some things, as long as you do them, she will keep in her heart."

He Caixia spoke softly. Although she was not part of the official circles, she was, after all, the daughter of the former county magistrate and had been immersed in this environment from a young age—she knew quite a bit.

Xu Qianli smiled slightly and said nothing.

He did not agree with He Caixia’s words. If things were as He Caixia described, why would Xu Shuman, that woman he had been sincerely devoted to for three years, kick him away?

Treating people with sincerity is important, but first, you have to see who the other person is.

If it’s someone like Xu Shuman, if you’re no longer of use to her, and can’t offer her any benefits, not to mention being sincere, even if you hand over your heart and liver, it would be useless.

He wondered what kind of woman Lan Qianrong was?

Soon someone interrupted Xu Qianli’s thoughts again, someone came to visit.

To his surprise, it was Ge Changhong, accompanied by people from the County Committee and gifts, warmly inquiring about his injuries.

After the people from the County Committee left, people from the organization department, Disciplinary Committee, and other departments successively came to the door.

Not just government departments—many from the business community in Jiang City also came with gifts, regardless of whether they were acquainted or not. With Xu Qianli’s current momentum, everyone wanted to get closer to him.

Never hit a smiling face, Xu Qianli dealt politely with everyone, and he accepted all the gifts. Soon, the house was packed full, hardly leaving any place to step.

After seeing off the last group of visitors, it had already gotten dark.

He Caixia brought over dinner, knowing that Xu Qianli was injured and couldn’t eat greasy food, she specifically bought white porridge and steamed buns with egg fillings for him to eat.

After Xu Qianli finished eating, she urged him to go to sleep early and rest well.

With such a beauty by his side, Xu Qianli couldn’t fall asleep and, unreservedly, he grabbed He Caixia’s hand tightly, staring at her like a wolf.

"Sister Caixia, just sleep like this—I can’t fall asleep. Can you kiss me?"

Xu Qianli fixed his gaze on He Caixia’s red lips.

Having spent a night with her before, Xu Qianli knew too well how charming He Caixia was, and just how irresistible her red lips were.

Blushes climbed her pretty face as He Caixia said softly, "No, you say it’s just a kiss, but it will surely lead to holding, and from holding to inappropriate touching, and then to doing that thing afterward. Although I’m already your woman, you’ve just been injured. How can you do such a thing? Don’t let your thoughts wander; you should focus on healing."

"Sister Caixia, trust me, I really just want a kiss, just a tiny one—I’d be a lying puppy if not."

Xu Qianli, persistent, gripped He Caixia’s small hand tighter and pulled her with one hand to hold her in his arms.
