The Beautiful County Magistrate
Chapter 367: Coveting the Position of Qingshan Town Chief!

Chapter 367: Chapter 367: Coveting the Position of Qingshan Town Chief!

Xu Qianli’s wolf-like gaze made Lan Qianrong feel uneasy all over, instinctively crossing her legs.

The next second, as Lan Qianrong had anticipated, Xu Qianli’s wicked hand reached over.

Feeling the warmth of Xu Qianli’s large hand, Lan Qianrong’s delicate body shuddered involuntarily, her gaze instinctively turning towards Huang Ling, fearing she would notice something.

Fortunately, from Huang Ling’s angle, she couldn’t see anything, as long as she didn’t move around the desk to her side.

Just as Lan Qianrong was feeling relieved, she suddenly saw Huang Ling, as if she had made up her mind, clench her teeth and stride around the desk to her side.

Lan Qianrong was terribly frightened; if Huang Ling discovered Xu Qianli under her desk, with her own beautiful legs in his hands, it would be disastrous.

She instinctively kicked Xu Qianli, signaling him to stay still, and shifted her body to lean forward as much as possible, using her body to block the view under the desk to prevent Huang Ling from seeing what was happening.

This positioned Lan Qianrong’s beautiful legs unavoidably against Xu Qianli.

Xu Qianli gulped down his saliva, gazing at the legs close at hand and the glimpses of black lace, feeling a rush of hot blood to his head and an unbearable heat throughout his body.

Mmm...

A soft moan escaped, and Lan Qianrong’s eyes widened, a blush of embarrassment uncontrollably spreading across her beautiful face.

Annoying; Xu Qianli, that bastard, fully aware that someone else was in the room, still took advantage of the situation to torment her as much as possible. How detestable.

Soon, Lan Qianrong didn’t even have the strength to curse Xu Qianli silently; she felt like electricity was coursing through her body, quickly slumping into her executive chair.

Huang Ling reached Lan Qianrong’s side and, without hesitation, knelt down.

"Leader, I beseech you, please do not dismiss me from my secretary’s role!"

"I’ve been at the County Government for so many years, finally moving up to a department-level position, finally having the opportunity to serve diligently before the leadership, I don’t want to miss out."

"I beg you to spare me, please do not rescind my secretary’s position, I’m begging you..."

Huang Ling pleaded bitterly with Lan Qianrong.

She had only been the County Magistrate’s secretary for a month, and the office director role was still not secured when she was suddenly dismissed by Lan Qianrong today; she was unwilling to accept this and rushed to plead with Lan Qianrong to reconsider her decision.

Lan Qianrong said, "Regarding this matter, haven’t we already agreed before? Now, you are having second thoughts?"

Huang Ling replied, "It’s not that I want to go back on my word, but I really cherish the position as your secretary and would like to continue serving diligently before our leader. Please, give me another chance."

Lan Qianrong’s expression darkened.

"What diligent service before the leader, you’re afraid of losing the secretary position because it’s not easy to make money, aren’t you?"

"Don’t think I don’t know, you’ve been my secretary for just a month and you’ve already accepted benefits amounting to a million or two."

"Also, your husband, working in the profitable Tobacco Bureau, is still not satisfied, falsely claiming there were leaks in the warehouse, and sold off tobacco worth millions as damaged goods, netting over three million in profit."

"You both have incriminating evidence in my hands. If you dare not follow my arrangements, be careful, I won’t be polite!"

Lan Qianrong’s fierce speech turned Huang Ling’s face deathly pale, leaving her too frightened to utter a word.

How could she know that Lan Qianrong was so aware of the deeds she and her husband had committed?

If it were to be exposed, what would become of her?

Seeing that she had intimidated Huang Ling, Lan Qianrong took a deep breath.

"That said, during this period, I am truly grateful for your help with my work."

"I remember all your good deeds; I have not forgotten them."

"This time, you were demoted and sent back to the secretarial department purely because Xu Qianli, that bastard, made it difficult for me. If you want to blame someone, blame that bastard!"

"You have been loyal to me, and I will not forget your goodness."

"Here’s what I’ll do for you, I promise you that after next year’s elections, when I fully control the situation in Jiang City, I will immediately reuse you and arrange an important job for you. How does that sound?"

Having severely scolded Huang Ling to prevent her from causing trouble, Lan Qianrong then dangled the carrot by making empty promises to appease her.

With a combination of carrot and stick, there was no fear of failing to handle someone like Huang Ling.

Hisss...

Suddenly, Lan Qianrong sucked in a breath of cold air as Xu Qianli pinched her, clearly in retaliation for her calling him a bastard.

This bastard, such a vicious bastard!

Huang Ling said, "I understand your difficulties, Leader, and I too would like to follow your arrangements, but the position of department head in the secretarial department has already been filled. There’s no way I can return there. Could you arrange another position for me, Leader?"

Lan Qianrong, "What position do you want?"

"The mayor of Qingshan Town, Fan Wenbin, has been placed under double regulation, and it’s said that the issues are severe, with many problems uncovered, making a double expulsion imminent."

"The mayor’s position in Qingshan Town will soon be vacant."

"Leader, could you arrange for me to go to Qingshan Town and take over as the mayor?"

"As long as you, the Leader, give your consent, you will be my greatest benefactor, Huang Ling, and I will go through fire and water for you!"

Huang Ling revealed what she was thinking—she wanted to become the mayor of Qingshan Town.

Lan Qianrong couldn’t help but think this was the world’s biggest joke.

She had grasped Huang Ling’s vulnerabilities, forcing her to take the blame for herself and Zeng Changyun, demoting her and casting her out.

And yet, here she was, at this critical moment, audaciously asking to be arranged for an even more important position, none other than the mayor of Qingshan Town. How brazen!

It was strange, where did she get such confidence?

And then there was Xu Qianli, that jerk, constantly causing trouble and getting her blood boiling, irritating her to no end!

Seeing Lan Qianrong remain silent with a strange expression, Huang Ling continued.

"Leader, you must think my request at this critical time is like a fantasy, but I actually have a way out of my current predicament."

"I can make Xu Qianli go to the city himself and smooth things over, requesting that my responsibilities not be pursued."

"I am currently a department-level cadre qualified enough to take on the position of mayor of Qingshan Town."

"I know you, Leader, have a grudge against Xu Qianli. I will collect evidence of his crimes and help you take him down!"

Lan Qianrong was utterly confused.

Xu Qianli, who the hell are you to think you can handle such a formidable person? You, Huang Ling, what makes you think you can take him down?

And also, Xu Qianli is right here underneath my desk, you’re saying you’re going to deal with him, and he’s hearing it all right now, so how about that?

Given Xu Qianli’s vengeful nature, do you think he would let you off?

Suddenly, Xu Qianli pinched her again, Lan Qianrong leaned slightly backward in her upper body and peered through the gap at the desk hole.

She saw Xu Qianli say something to her in lip language.

"Get rid of her!"
