Chen Jie immediately revealed a charming smile, chidingly said, "That's not true, I was clearly the one sending you back!"
The two walked together on the road, and it was unclear whether Chen Jie did it deliberately or not, but her small hand occasionally brushed the back of Zhou Qing's hand.
Zhou Qing glanced at it and then took the initiative to hold Chen Jie's hand.
Feeling the slight struggle in his palm, but as Zhou Qing firmly held on, Chen Jie stopped struggling and said, "Qing, you really are something. It's like, 'distance tests a horse's strength; time reveals a person's heart.' How did you suddenly become the county mayor's secretary?"
Zhou Qing was quite modest, saying, "It's just deputy, County Mayor Zhou is just our Anzhou County's deputy county mayor in charge of science, education, culture, health, and sports. I guess it was just luck, being chosen by Brother Weining."
Zhou Qing spoke humbly, but his words were laced with an undercurrent of dominance.
