Chapter 349: Chapter 320 Bad Idea (5/6)_1

Qi Shuli glanced at his watch and gave Qi Shuqiang a meaningful look.

"Ah, Shuqiang, you’re on duty here, and I still have some things to do," Qi Shuli said with a smile, gathering his things, ready to leave.

Lin Xiaoru was just about to come in, coincidentally running into Accountant Qi who was heading out.

"Accountant Qi, could you wait a moment? I have something here, and I need your stamp," Lin Xiaoru said urgently, recalling how last time Qi Shuli refused to stamp her documents, citing that he was too busy.

"Comrade Lin, I really have something to attend to and must step out. Whatever you need, let Shuqiang help you handle it," Qi Shuli said, taking his notebook and leaving despite Lin Xiaoru’s protests.

Lin Xiaoru was truly in a hurry, but with Qi Shuli acting like this, she couldn’t just go up and make a scene.

Qi Shuqiang poked his head out from the village committee office, asking with a smile, "Comrade Lin, what do you need? You can come in and talk about it!"

Lin Xiaoru had no choice but to steel herself and go inside, although Qi Shuqiang’s gaze seemed a bit shifty.

Lin Xiaoru smiled and approached, saying, "It’s a bit of trouble, but I need the team leader to stamp this for me. Here are two packs of cigarettes; please don’t turn them down, team leader."

Seeing that Lin Xiaoru had brought two packs of cigarettes, which she placed off to the side of the desk, Qi Shuqiang said with a smile, "Don’t worry, take your time. Why do you need to write a proof?"

Lin Xiaoru took out a paper, an application, and said, "Big Brother Qi, it hasn’t been easy for me to get this opportunity; please be kind and help me out."

Qi Shuqiang picked it up for a look, and his mind started to scheme, especially after Lin Xiaoru sweetly called him "Big Brother Qi," which stirred his emotions even more.

He had a chance here!

Qi Shuqiang tapped his fingers on the desk, pat-pat-pat, without speaking a word.

"Big Brother Qi, please help me out!" said Lin Xiaoru. "Once I make it to the unit’s propaganda team, I’ll definitely buy drinks for Big Brother Qi."

Qi Shuqiang gave a smile that was not quite a smile, looking Lin Xiaoru up and down, and said, "This is really a great opportunity. It would be a pity to miss it!"

"Yes, that’s why I came to ask for Big Brother Qi’s help!" Lin Xiaoru laughed. "I’m a little pressed for time, Big Brother Qi, please help me out and write the proof quickly."

Qi Shuqiang felt even happier and cleverly touched Lin Xiaoru’s hand with his right hand, saying, "Hehe, time is indeed tight. Missing out now, and there won’t be another chance!"

When Qi Shuqiang touched her hand, Lin Xiaoru knew that Qi Shuqiang wanted to take advantage of her.

But Lin Xiaoru was not foolish; she knew that if she agreed this time, there would be a second time, and it would become a lifelong stain, an impediment to her future marriage.

And the person from the town would definitely not allow her to do such a thing!

Lin Xiaoru smiled and withdrew her hand.

"Big Brother Qi, I understand what you mean," Lin Xiaoru calmly said. "However, the fact that I have this opportunity shows that I have my own connections above, and getting too close with you wouldn’t be good for either of us!"

Seeing Lin Xiaoru reluctant, Qi Shuqiang’s face fell, and he was visibly upset, though he didn’t dare to force the issue.

Never mind whether Lin Xiaoru would report him, just the fact that she had backers in the office was enough for him not to mess with her.

Qi Shuqiang was a bit regretful. He must have drunk too much today.

"Hehe, sorry about that, I drank too much and put my hand in the wrong place," Qi Shuqiang said with an awkward laugh. He certainly didn’t want to lose his position as the team leader over this.

Although Qi Shuli was no big shot, he had a respectable standing in the village, which Qi Shuqiang didn’t want to throw away.

Lin Xiaoru also knew that offending Qi Shuli would put her at a disadvantage in the village.

Moreover, having left Qijia Village, she was still thinking about how to deal with He Tiantian and her family, so naturally, she couldn’t alienate Qi Shuli and the influence of Qi Shuqiang.

Lin Xiaoru covered her mouth, laughing as she said, "Big Brother Qi, do you really think so?"

Just when Qi Shuqiang was about to give up hope, he heard Lin Xiaoru’s words and saw her smiling like a blooming flower, which made his heart itch even more.

"Xiaoru, what do you mean by that?" Qi Shuqiang smiled with a twinkle in his eye, his gaze lecherous.

Lin Xiaoru looked outside and, seeing no one, said with a smile, "I’m not my own master, but someone could be. Big Brother Qi, there’s not just one of us young people from the city in the village! If Big Brother Qi likes, I can try to broker a match!"

Qi Shuqiang thought it over. He couldn’t covet Lin Xiaoru, but coveting someone else was also an option.

"Which one are you talking about?" Qi Shuqiang asked. "The one you’re most confident about."

Lin Xiaoru gave a flirty look and said, "That young woman surnamed Wu from the city is pregnant; she’s out of the picture. But there’s still He Tiantian, Huang Jingli, Ye Xiaofan!"

The moment he heard He Tiantian’s name, Qi Shuqiang quickly shook his head and said, "I wouldn’t dare provoke Tiantian. Qi Jianguo is still in the labor camp! Besides, her parents are here too, always by her side, so there’s no opportunity."

What a wimp Qi Shuqiang is!

He covets women, yet he lacks the guts! Qi Shuqiang is nothing but a coward.

"Hehe!" Lin Xiaoru laughed, "That leaves only Huang Jingli and Ye Xiaofan."

Both of them are young people from the city. It would be fitting.

Qi Shuqiang thought it over; Huang Jingli was too plain. He might as well go back to his own wife at home.

As for Ye Xiaofan, she was quite attractive, on par with Lin Xiaoru.

"Let’s go for Ye Xiaofan then!" Qi Shuqiang said, "But Ye Xiaofan already has someone. How will you make your move?"

Qi Shuqiang is a scoundrel now, his mind filled with the thought of preying on a beautiful maiden.

Such a delightful prospect, just thinking about it made him feel ecstatic!

But he hadn’t completely lost his reason! If he was to covet a woman, he still had to keep his official hat!

Upon hearing Ye Xiaofan’s name, Lin Xiaoru felt a bit disappointed. If it were Huang Jingli, it would merely take a word from her.

But Ye Xiaofan wasn’t any good either, always opposing her and finding a foothold in the village.

Ye Xiaofan, you think you are so fierce?

Just wait!

She’ll go back now and give Ye Xiaofan a taste of being bullied.

"Hehe, don’t worry about how I’ll make my move, Big Brother Qi. Once I arrange everything, then Big Brother Qi you can enjoy your good fortune," Lin Xiaoru said as she put away the application form, no longer requesting Qi Shuqiang’s stamp.

She’d get his stamp after satisfying Qi Shuqiang.

If Qi Shuqiang refused to stamp, she would anonymously report him for preying on the young people from the city.

After Lin Xiaoru left, Qi Shuqiang felt excited but also a bit worried.

However, he thought about it; coveting was quite common now. If others could covet, why couldn’t he?

At the same time, Qi Shuqiang also felt in his heart that Lin Xiaoru was truly like a beautiful viper, ruthless and decisive.

It was one thing to be harsh to Ye Xiaofan, but to treat her good friend Huang Jingli like this showed her true malicious nature.

Such a woman was not to be provoked!

Even if Lin Xiaoru were to throw herself at him now, he wouldn’t dare covet her, afraid that she might bite him if she became unhappy.
