The Beautiful County Magistrate
Chapter 726

Chapter 726: Chapter 726

Zhang Hong pointed at her own nose.

"Me, unable to manage it?"

"You think my role as Minister of the Organization Department is for nothing?"

"At your age, you’d be topping out as a section chief, it would only take one word from me to snuff you out!"

"You just wait and see!"

Huffing with anger, Zhang Hong turned around and left, going back to her office. She made a phone call and summoned her two deputies, instructing them to take care of matters and to get that Xu Qianli out of here!

Out in the courtyard, Xu Qianli was still in line. Seeing that he hadn’t left, Tan Hao lowered his voice and said, "Brother, you were quite ballsy just now, daring to challenge Minister Zhang. I’m impressed. But she controls nearly all the officials under Hai City; how are you going to have good days after offending her? I suggest you don’t bother lining up anymore; just take your girlfriend and leave. It’s useless anyway."

Xu Qianli replied, "No worries, she can’t drive me away."

The girl with glasses chimed in, "She can’t drive me away either!"

After a pause, the girl with glasses felt something was off. She was still in the arms of that bastard Xu Qianli and quickly stomped on his foot, wriggling out of his embrace and glaring at him fiercely.

"You bastard, how dare you hold me just now, and even call me your girlfriend. Are you even worthy?"

Xu Qianli said, "I’m not worthy, you fierce and unreasonable woman. I really couldn’t ask for more! I just hope we never have to work in the same place, and that I never have to see you again!"

"Pfft, you think I, Mo Yu, you think I, Mo Xiaoyu, would be keen on you?"

"We’d better stay far, far away from each other in the future, and never see each other!"

The girl with glasses revealed her name, calling herself Mo Xiaoyu.

Tan Hao, curious, asked, "Where are you guys headed to take up your positions?"

Xu Qianli and Mo Xiaoyu both answered in unison, "Cailin County."

Tan Hao laughed heartily, "So you’re going to the same place, that’s interesting. Let me ask, which unit are you going to?"

"The County Government."

Again, they replied in unison.

Tan Hao was directly amused and gave Xu Qianli a thumbs-up, "Bro, you’re something else. And you said you had nothing to do with her; if you two are unrelated, then the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are strangers too. Alright, I know you two have great chemistry—don’t flirt and bicker here, after all, there are mostly single men here, and they can’t handle the provocation."

Not only Tan Hao, but most people there had decided that these two were a couple.

Indeed, Minister Zhang had guessed right; that guy is looking at what’s in the pot but still can’t let go of what’s in the bowl.

Many people cast sympathetic glances at Mo Xiaoyu; no wonder she was bickering with Xu Qianli. So that was the story.

That Xu Qianli was really shameless.

Bringing his girlfriend to pursue the Mo Family’s heiress, Mo Yudie—truly shameless, unbelievable that he could stoop so low!

How can a person be so utterly shameless?

Xu Qianli suffered an injustice for no reason and found it impossible to explain, so he simply stopped trying. Let them think what they want; as for me, I couldn’t care less. I don’t have a girlfriend, and I don’t plan to stay in Hai City long, why bother with all this nonsense.

Xu Qianli didn’t care, but Mo Xiaoyu was getting anxious, "What’s with that look, is my taste really that bad, to fancy such goods? I’m serious, why won’t any of you believe me, there’s really nothing between us!"

Xu Qianli gave Mo Xiaoyu a smile, "Dear, why explain anything? We truly have no relationship; knowing it ourselves is enough. Why bother explaining to others?"

Mo Xiaoyu promptly raised her middle finger, and then another followed swiftly.

Xu Qianli acted as if he hadn’t seen it, do whatever you want, I don’t mind.

Seeing Xu Qianli’s scoundrel-like demeanor, Mo Xiaoyu stamped her foot in frustration, "You’re called Xu Qianli, right? Going to work at Cailin County Government too, huh? Just you wait, I’ll see how I’m going to deal with you!"

Oh, that’s right, what’s the name of the man Mom told me to seduce? Why can’t I remember it all of a sudden.

Hmph, no matter who it is, it’s definitely not this scoundrel, absolutely not her!

How could the man whom Mom can’t stop thinking about have such a rogue for a son? Impossible, absolutely impossible!

In Zhang Hong’s office, after waiting for a while, she suddenly received a piece of very surprising news—that guy named Xu Qianli couldn’t be gotten rid of!

She had thought that, as the Hai City Organization Minister, getting rid of a new young official was a trivial matter.

But when she sent two deputies to handle it, the result came back that he simply couldn’t be ousted.

This young man, still so young, was already at the level of a Deputy Division Chief, coming to Hai City to serve as Deputy County Magistrate of Cailin County.

This in itself wasn’t much; after all, there had been several exceptional young officials lately, even some who had become Division Chiefs before thirty.

But the problem was Xu Qianli was transferred here through connections within the Provincial Committee, specifically through the annual young officials exchange program between Wangdong Province and its brother province, Longhai Province.

In the past, officials transferred through such activities always had strong backing; they came to Wangdong Province merely for gold-plating.

As powerful as Zhang Hong was, she was only the Hai City Organization Minister. Without a valid reason, she had no way of rejecting the transfer decided by the Provincial Committee.

She surely couldn’t say she disliked Xu Qianli and had a big argument with him, and that’s why she wanted to kick him out.

If she actually said that and communicated with the Provincial Committee using such a reason, the provincial leaders would think she had gone mad.

Damn it, no wonder that kid just now said you probably can’t kick me out, this is the real deal.

Well played, kid. No wonder you dared to run wild in the Organization Department and didn’t even take me seriously; you had such support.

"Fine, I can’t kick you out, but I’ll kick out your sharp-tongued girlfriend. At least that’ll cut down your arrogance!"

When Zhang Hong said that, her deputy shook their head right away, "No way, her connections are incredibly strong too. Despite being assigned to Cailin County Government as an ordinary clerk, she got the position through the Provincial Committee’s connections!"

Zhang Hong slapped her forehead, "Damn it, what kind of people are these, one more outrageous than the next? Fine, you’ve got the backing, right? You’ve got the skills, right? I might not be able to oust you, but I can still handle you!"

Gritting her teeth, Zhang Hong said, "Cailin County is under Fu Guotai’s jurisdiction. Call him right now and tell him to give those two a hard time. Show them some color!"

Upon hearing this, the deputy shook their head even more vigorously, "I’m afraid that’s unlikely. You don’t know, but the reason Xu Qianli was transferred from Longhai Province to our Hai City was because Fu Guotai put in the application and went through a lot of effort to arrange it. His transferred people are definitely super close to him; it’s already good if he doesn’t pamper them, how could he possibly suppress them?"

Zhang Hong was stunned for a moment, then scratching her head furiously as it dawned on her.

Dammit, dammit, dammit, Xu Qianli, I can’t handle you, huh? This is infuriating!

Just you wait, I’ve got my eye on you now. If I can’t take you down, if I ever have a son in the future, he’s taking your last name!
