Liu Min, usually so coquettish, was now frantic and fearful. She lay sprawled across the desk, her buttocks lifted in a startling curve.
Her black wide-leg pants had been partially pulled down by Qin Zhihao, revealing black lace-trimmed thong panties.
Doesn't this... hurt the buttocks?
This scene left Zhou Qing parched and thirsty.
Immediately, a surge of anger welled up inside him!
The most toxic is a woman's heart,
To save herself, Liu Min had sold herself out.
She probably had plotted this when she asked him to deliver the documents, intentionally sending him to find Qin Zhihao so she could safely get away.
Such calculation, she is safe now. But Qin Zhihao would definitely hate Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing thought for a moment, then tiptoed back slowly.
Don't say I'm unrighteous. You, Liu Min, laid the trap first; why should I step in to help you?
In the entire office building of Anzhou County Committee and County Government, with so many people coming and going, if you really didn't want it, you could have just shouted and see if Qin Zhihao would dare to continue?
Not wanting to offend anyone, yet you scheme against others, taking all the benefits for yourself, Liu Min, and leaving the disadvantages to others—where is the fairness in that?
As he thought this, Zhou Qing suddenly felt a pain at his heel. Simultaneously, a loud clanging sound rang out.
Zhou Qing turned his head and saw that he had coincidentally bumped into a fire hydrant.
Without a second thought, Zhou Qing immediately turned and ran downstairs.
As he turned the corner to go downstairs, Zhou Qing involuntarily looked up and saw Qin Zhihao standing at the stairway landing with a gloomy face, towering above him and scrutinizing him.
By the time Zhou Qing got back to his office, his heart was still pounding.
What to do?
Qin Zhihao had definitely seen him. That sinister gaze, that sharp stare, would this man seek revenge on him?
As he was pondering this, footstep sounds came from the door, and Liu Min had already walked in.
As she entered, Liu Min loudly said, "Here's a matter: based on work needs, it's arranged for Zhou Qing to work in the Logistics Department."
After speaking, Liu Min looked at Zhou Qing with deep meaning, "Little Zhou, pack up your things and report to the Logistics Office."
As Liu Min left, Zhou Qing immediately understood that the revenge had arrived; it could be from Qin Zhihao or perhaps a scheme between him and Liu Min.
Although the current job wasn't great, being sent to the Logistics Department meant his career prospects were now hopeless. This was probably it for his life.
Before nationwide housing reform, the Logistics Department was undoubtedly a great place, with power and benefits galore; a chance to interact with leaders.
But after the housing reform, Logistics had completely declined. Among all the departments in the county government offices, Logistics was a near-buried dead-end.
Sending him to the Logistics Department now was clearly a move to push him towards retirement.
Zhou Qing could even imagine spending his future—perhaps three years, five years, or even ten to twenty years—just marking time at his post in Logistics.
Seeing the end of days like these left him somewhat despondent, and the idea of resigning fleetingly crossed his mind.
But recalling how his parents had proudly boasted to relatives and friends at the beginning of the year about their son working at the county government, the thought of resigning from Zhou Qing faded significantly. He didn't want to disappoint his parents. He was even more determined! The more you try to screw me over, the more I refuse to submit!
Just Logistics Department work? I'll go!
Don't let me catch an opportunity.
Liu Min, oh Liu Min, one day, I will make you taste my flavor, see just how capable I am.
Today, two things excited the entire Anzhou County Committee Government Complex—one was that Deputy County Magistrate Zhou Weining's secretary Li Zhen, officially titled a liaison officer, had gone to the county's Education Bureau to become deputy head. The other was that Zhou Qing, a high-achieving graduate from Capital City University's Law program, had been moved from the Political Research Office to Logistics.
Everyone in the complex discussed how Li Zhen must have fallen out of favor with county magistrate Zhou, otherwise why would a liaison officer of just one year be transferred out?
Zhou Qing must have offended someone important. What a pity for this graduate of Capital City University. Without any changes, this could be it for his life.
As time passed, the commotion gradually quieted down, but by now everyone's attention was focused on who would be Zhou Weining's new secretary. Everyone awaited the arrival of the next lucky individual. As for Zhou Qing? Who's that? Do we even have such a person in our county government office?
The work of the Logistics Section was boring yet relaxed.
The head of the Logistics Section was very busy, and Zhou Qing never saw him. No one bothered with Zhou Qing's affairs.
The next day at work, Zhou Qing spent his time idly.
After some thought, he took out his phone and scrolled to a contact named "Watcher of the Night."
Zhou Qing thought it over and sent a message: "You there?"
"What is it?"
This woman's attitude instantly irritated Zhou Qing.
"Beauty, are you lonely to have chosen a name like 'Watcher of the Night'? If you're in need, Big Brother can satisfy you. Looking at your address, you're from Anzhou, right? Wanna meet up?"
