The Beautiful County Magistrate

Chapter 553: Chapter 553: Show Off Ma Wei’s Power!

Xu Qianli heard some of the whispering among those people.

He was well aware that many were waiting to see him fail.

Not to mention, given his meteoric rise, having been promoted to Deputy County Magistrate in his twenties, a rank many wouldn’t reach in their lifetimes.

Furthermore, given the current situation, it was not impossible for him to be promoted to a full magistrate position before he turned thirty.

Such rapid promotion surely must have upset many people, and who knows how many were hoping to see him stumble.

As for these characters, Xu Qianli didn’t care about them at all.

They still thought he and Lan Qianrong were sworn enemies, not knowing that he and the beauty Lan Qianrong had already reconciled, and even their parents had met, maintaining only a facade of hostility just for show.

Without Ge Changhong as her backup, Lan Qianrong still stood by his side. Even with Zhang Dongyang parachuted in to Jiang City as the new County Party Secretary, it wouldn’t be easy for him to trouble Xu Qianli.

Especially since he was an outside appointee with no local base, Xu Qianli did not believe that, with his connections in Jiang City, Zhang Dongyang could easily topple him.

Regarding this soon-to-arrive new County Party Secretary, Xu Qianli was keen to see how capable he was.

After waiting a while longer, as time gradually approached 11:30 a.m., there was still no sign of anyone.

Zeng Changyun could not hold back anymore and said to Lan Qianrong, "Leader, it’s already half past eleven and the person hasn’t arrived yet. This is clearly an attempt to intimidate us. It seems this new County Party Secretary isn’t easy to deal with."

Ding Biao said, "Exactly, according to the rules, when a new official takes office, they should arrive by eleven at the latest. But look, it’s already half past eleven and he’s still not here, just making us wait indefinitely. It’s clear he doesn’t consider us at all. This new County Party Secretary seems to have a pretty big temper."

Lan Qianrong spoke up.

"Cailin County is the best-performing county in Wangdong Province economically in recent years. To be able to become the County Magistrate of Cailin County, his abilities are, of course, undeniable, and it’s normal for him to have some temper."

"Everyone, let’s calm down and wait a bit longer."

"I just don’t believe he can keep us waiting until twelve!"

"If it’s twelve and he still hasn’t arrived, I think there’s no need to wait any longer, don’t you think?"

Lan Qianrong was also angered, thinking to herself, ’Good for you, Zhang Dongyang. I give you face, bringing so many officials here to wait for your arrival, and you just leave us hanging all morning, showing no respect at all.’

If he doesn’t show up soon, I’m done waiting for this jerk!

Everyone present could sense the anger in Lan Qianrong’s words, indicating her readiness to oppose Zhang Dongyang.

Indeed, she was no pushover herself, being formidable. It’s no wonder she was infuriated by Zhang Dongyang making her wait so long.

Judging from the current situation, it seemed unlikely that the future first and second in command in Jiang City would get along well.

Perhaps the kind of harmony previously seen between the old County Magistrate and Ge Changhong wouldn’t reoccur anytime soon.

It was still uncertain who would have the last laugh.

Although Lan Qianrong had arrived in Jiang City relatively early and had established some connections and influence, she was still the second-in-command and did not control powerful departments like the City Organization Department and the County Disciplinary Committee, and with Xu Qianli as her formidable rival, the future struggle for power remained unpredictable.

After waiting a bit more, news came from those stationed at the city entrance: the new County Party Secretary’s convoy had arrived and was about to reach the County Committee.

Before long, a convoy of more than ten vehicles arrived outside the County Committee.

The cars stopped, and quite a few people got out.

Among them, the most attractive one was not the new County Party Secretary, Zhang Dongyang, but the City Organization Minister, Zhao Mei.

At the sight of her, everyone’s eyes brightened instantly.

Wow, as the head of the City Organization Department, she actually came along with Zhang Dongyang personally, which showed how much she valued him. She really gave Zhang Dongyang a lot of face.

Moreover, not only did she hold a high position and wield great power, but she was also exceptionally beautiful and glamorous.

That figure was simply too explosive.

Despite having a superb figure, she still chose to wear a tight dress that perfectly highlighted her sizzling physique.

Especially her astonishingly full chest, so plump and heavy, that gently quivered as she moved, could make any man’s soul fly away with just one glance.

Many people swallowed their saliva secretly. It had to be said that this woman was incredibly beautiful, an absolute top-tier beauty. Her husband was truly lucky to have married her—it must be the fortune of eight generations.

Xu Qianli was also watching Zhao Mei.

It had been quite some time since they last met.

Seeing Zhao Mei again, he couldn’t help but be amazed by her beauty—it had to be said that she was truly sexy.

Having had a relationship with her in the past, Xu Qianli knew all too well that every inch of her was genuine, and that premium body was without any deception.

Recalling the taste of their past romance, Xu Qianli’s heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, and he subconsciously swallowed.

Just then, Zhao Mei’s gaze fell on him. Their eyes met, and Zhao Mei couldn’t help but burst with rage, her beautiful eyes immediately fierce with murderous intent.

These days, Zhao Mei had been constantly thinking about Xu Qianli.

She had been so good to him, yet he had gone and broken her brother’s legs, leaving her brother still bedridden and in a cast.

This was an account she would never forget for the rest of her life.

You bastard, just wait. You dared to mess with me, I won’t let you off; I’ll make sure to deal with you harshly sooner or later!

Sensing the murderous intent in Zhao Mei’s eyes, Xu Qianli gave a slight smile, "Beautiful lady, they say even a single night spent together builds a hundred days of warmth. We did have a relationship after all, do you really need to be like this?"

Zhao Mei glared fiercely at Xu Qianli, then turned her gaze away to look at Lan Qianrong, "County Magistrate Lan, I hope you haven’t been waiting too long?"

Lan Qianrong replied with a smile, "Minister Zhao, what are you saying? You’re the leader, busy with a thousand duties; it’s only right for us to wait for you. But we don’t know who our new leader in Jiang City is, could you introduce him?"

"It’s me."

A lean man came to stand beside Zhao Mei, extending his hand towards Lan Qianrong.

"This must be County Magistrate Lan. I am Zhang Dongyang. I have long admired the grace of County Magistrate Lan; it’s truly my good fortune to meet you today."

"County Magistrate Lan, it’s a pleasure, truly a pleasure."

The lean man was Zhang Dongyang, who was extremely enthusiastic during his first meeting with Lan Qianrong.

Lan Qianrong and Zhang Dongyang shook hands, "Secretary Zhang, you’re too kind."

After greeting Lan Qianrong, Zhang Dongyang’s gaze swept over the officials quickly fixing on Xu Qianli.

"This must be Vice County Magistrate Xu Qianli, the man who’s been sensational on the internet, a topic of immense popularity. I’ve long heard of your great reputation and have wanted to meet you."

"Fortunately, today I finally have!"
