The Beautiful County Magistrate

Chapter 220: Chapter 220: Promotion!

Wen Jie was coquettishly nestled in Xu Qianli’s arms when she suddenly caught sight of Zi Yumo’s expression and instantly got the message. With a scoff, she returned the look.

"Hmph, you’re just staring at me, but have you ever thought about yourself? How rough, wild, and unreasonable you are! No man would dare approach you before, let alone chase after you. And now, aren’t you captured by Xu Qianli?"

Zi Yumo, not convinced at all, crossed her arms and glared back at Wen Jie.

With a stretch of his hand, Xu Qianli pulled Zi Yumo close as well.

It certainly made him happy to have the top-tier twin sisters, Yu Xiaoqiao and Yu Xiaomeng, cute and adorable, for a secret delight.

But it was conquering strong women like Zi Yumo and Wen Jie, who were usually dominant and refused to give any man the time of day, that gave him a greater sense of conquest and achievement.

However, he was quite curious how these two—one a police officer from the Provincial Department and the other the top figure in the underworld of Zhongzhou City—became friends.

After asking, he found that Wen Jie used to be a cop.

Back in the police academy, her grades were excellent, and she was chosen to go undercover for a mission.

As time went on, she became the top figure in the underworld of Zhongzhou City.

It was one of those stories where you were sent to be a minion, but you ended up becoming the boss with ease.

Now, Wen Jie didn’t even know if she was a cop or a gang leader.

Anyway, she was quite satisfied with her current situation. She had money and people at her command; wherever she went, others feared her, and if she disliked someone, a beating was easily administered.

Of course, there were lines she wouldn’t cross, certain things she dared not touch.

The reason she let everyone call her Wen Jie, firmly refusing to mention her old name, was her desire to make a clear break with her past.

After all, she didn’t want to return to those days—at least not for now.

After Wen Jie told her story, Xu Qianli gave her a big kiss.

"I don’t care what identity you have, you’re now Xu Qianli’s woman. From now on, avoid dangerous stuff and focus on having more kids for me. That’s the real business."

"You want to make a fortune in Qingshan Town, right? Trading in forestry resources and the like definitely won’t do, but I have another good opportunity for you, if you’re interested."

"Qingshan Town..."

Xu Qianli started talking, highlighting the tourist development prospects of Qingshan Town.

After Xu Qianli finished, Wen Jie laughed and said, "So, after all this, you want me to invest in tourism in Qingshan Town. But do you think what you’ve said is feasible? If I really put so much money into building hotels there, can I make a profit? I don’t want to end up losing everything, not even making back the cost."

Zi Yumo said, "Oh, come on, what if you lose? You already belong to Xu Qianli, so naturally, so does your money. A little loss doesn’t matter. Besides, I think what he says makes sense. With such great natural resources, it would be hard not to make a fortune if developed. If you won’t invest, I will. I’ll throw all my pocket money into it!"

Wen Jie snorted, "Stingy rat, how much can your pocket money be?"

Zi Yumo replied, "It’s not much. I get ten million a month for pocket money. Over the years, I’ve saved up five or six billion."

"Woah, five or six billion, and that’s just pocket money?"

Wen Jie bluntly raised her middle finger.

"You filthy rich heiress, why do you have to be so annoying? I hate people like you the most, those born winners in life. It’s infuriating!"

"Fine, you’re putting your pocket money in? I’ll go all in too. I’m investing the ten billion or so I’ve saved up over the years."

Then Wen Jie turned, cooed at Xu Qianli, and playfully shook his neck.

"Honey, I’m trusting you with my investment here. You better not let me lose, especially since we’ll need money for our kids’ milk powder in the future."

Wen Jie was wearing a skimpy nightgown, which was already quite revealing without any movement, but as she swayed, her full assets shook distractingly, nearly causing Xu Qianli’s nose to bleed.

Zi Yumo suddenly stretched both hands forward.

"Your breasts are so big, when you have kids you can just breastfeed them, no need to buy formula."

"Come here, let me feel, they can’t be fake, can they?"

"Ah, they’re the real deal!"

"Ew, stop it!" Sister Wen wasn’t on guard and Zi Yumo took advantage, she hurriedly laughed and swatted her hands away, "Honey, look at how naughty she is, picking on me, and you don’t even care."

Xu Qianli just smiled faintly, care? I’m too lazy to care. Two beauties frolicking is such a delightful sight, I couldn’t be happier.

Grrr...

Xu Qianli’s stomach growled, he hadn’t eaten anything since last night till now.

Seeing Xu Qianli was hungry, Sister Wen quickly ordered a breakfast for five to be sent over.

After breakfast, Xu Qianli answered a phone call. It was from Teng Ziyin, telling him that she had thought of a way to help arrange a meeting between him and Chu Qingyu.

A banquet related to investment would be held at Shangri-La Hotel this morning, and Chu Qingyu was likely to attend. Teng Ziyin would try to find a way for Xu Qianli to meet Chu Qingyu alone.

Just the thought of possibly seeing his first love made Xu Qianli’s emotions churn, unable to calm down for a long time.

At last, there was a possibility to see the woman who had once driven him mad with love, and tore his heart to pieces.

He had no idea what to say when he saw Chu Qingyu again or even if seeing her was the right or wrong thing to do.

Regardless, he had to take this step, or he would live with regret forever.

After the call with Teng Ziyin, Ge Pingping soon called.

After answering, Xu Qianli received exciting news.

This morning, at the Jiang City County Committee’s standing committee meeting, Ge Changhong had put forward the proposal again for Xu Qianli to go to Qingshan Town to replace Li Zhu as the new Party Secretary.

Lan Qianrong, who had previously opposed vehemently, didn’t make a peep this time. Then, during the voting phase, with the exception of Lan Qianrong, all members of the standing committee raised their hands in agreement. The proposal was passed.

It was now a foregone conclusion that Xu Qianli would become the Party Secretary of Qingshan Town.

He was not surprised by this outcome at all.

Under the dual pressure of the City Organization Department and the City Disciplinary Inspection Committee, Lan Qianrong was bound to lay low for a while and not obstruct his move to Qingshan Town.

But knowing Lan Qianrong’s temperament, she wouldn’t remain passive for too long. She would certainly be gathering strength in the shadows, preparing for a powerful counterattack.

For the present moment, with Ge Changhong in charge, Lan Qianrong couldn’t stir up much trouble.

But when the term change came next year and Ge Changhong stepped down, the situation would be entirely different.

Xu Qianli was well aware that even if he went to Qingshan Town, he had less than a year of stable development time left.

This precious time must be seized, and achievements must be made quickly.

After ending the call with Ge Pingping, he received a string of phone calls, most of them from the people of Qingshan Town congratulating him.

While he was on the phone, he suddenly received a special text message.

"My dear, come save me, I’m in big trouble! The address is..."

The message was sent by Du Rumeng, just a single message, nothing else.

He didn’t know if she was joking or if she was really in trouble, but Xu Qianli couldn’t afford to wonder. He briefly excused himself from Zi Yumo and the others, and hurried towards the address Du Rumeng had provided.
