"Secretary Lin, he's no longer in the Poverty Alleviation Office," Song Bo hurriedly replied, puzzled as to why this esteemed figure was suddenly concerned about this person.
Lin Xi Yue was taken aback and turned to ask, "Where did he go then? Wasn't he assigned here by the county?"
"He was arranged to lead the villagers in planting citrus in Xiangyang Village yesterday," came the reply.
"Planting citrus? Did you arrange this?" Lin Xi Yue's tone turned icy cold.
Song Bo, feeling the pressure of her gaze, quickly denied any involvement, "N-no, it was Niu Da Shan who arranged it."
Even the top official of Fangshui Township, the Party Committee Secretary, dared not offend this mysterious woman, and Song Bo, of course, dared even less. He immediately threw Niu Da Shan under the bus.
"Whatever Niu Da Shan arranges is what happens, then what's the use of having you as the director? If you don't want to do your job, I'll propose at the next Party Committee meeting to have Niu Da Shan replace you," Lin Xi Yue's voice grew colder.
Song Bo felt a chill run down his spine, his back drenched in cold sweat, and he quickly nodded, bowing and scraping, "Secretary Lin, I failed in my duties, I'll... I'll bring Lu Hao back immediately."
He knew that Lin Xi Yue was capable of doing such a thing, and offending her over such a matter would be foolish.
"I want to see results before the afternoon is over," Lin Xi Yue said coldly.
"Yes, yes, I'll solve it, I'll solve it right away," Song Bo wiped his sweat, constantly promising.
After seeing Lin Xi Yue off, he looked up Lu Hao's phone number and immediately called, urging, "Lu Hao, you don't need to plant citrus anymore, come back to the Poverty Alleviation Office as soon as possible."
Lu Hao, hearing the urgency in Song Bo's voice over the phone, was still unaware of what had happened.
However, since the citrus planting in the village was finished and there was nothing much to do, Lu Hao was, of course, very happy to be transferred back.
After having lunch and bidding farewell to the village head, he returned to the township government in the afternoon and naturally saw Niu Da Shan again in the office.
"Why are you so undisciplined? Who allowed you to come back from Xiangyang Village?" Niu Da Shan slammed the table and demanded.
"I'm sorry, it was Director Song who personally called me back," Lu Hao sneered, sitting down at his desk.
Niu Da Shan's face turned even gloomier, and he stormed out, muttering to himself, "Fat Song dares to go against me, the world has turned upside down."
Niu Da Shan barged into Song Bo's office, and they talked about something, with only Niu Da Shan's profanities heard.
Not long after, Niu Da Shan returned to the Poverty Alleviation Office with a dark face, sneering, "Kid, you think that bitch Lin Xi Yue helped you once, and you can get by here?"
"I tell you, don't be naive. In Fangshui Township, it's Mayor Li who has the final say. You just wait, I'm going to make sure you never dare to be a civil servant again in your next life."
This time, Niu Da Shan no longer pretended.
Previously, when he was making trouble for Lu Hao, he still cared about his face, saying bad things behind Lu Hao's back, deliberately letting Lu Hao overhear.
But now, Lu Hao had repeatedly embarrassed him, and Niu Da Shan was completely furious, speaking without any restraint.
He dropped his harsh words and turned to go upstairs.
Lu Hao couldn't help but frown, tidying up his desk, wondering who Lin Xi Yue was. It was the first time he had heard the name.
In just a few minutes, Niu Da Shan returned to the Poverty Alleviation Office with his hands behind his back, sweeping away the gloom of a moment ago, looking refreshed and spirited.
He sat on Lu Hao's desk with a teasing face: "Kid, there's going to be a big surprise for you soon."
Lu Hao immediately had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, the next second, Lu Hao's phone rang. The caller said he was Xiao Sun from the Party and Government Office.
"Lu Hao, right? Pack up your things and report to the local middle school immediately," said Xiao Sun.
Everyone in the system knows that people from the Party and Government Office are like secretaries to the big leaders, serving the leaders, and every word could represent the leader's intentions.
"Middle school? What am I going there for?" Lu Hao asked in confusion.
"Our township is poor, and the middle school is short of maintenance workers. Poverty alleviation should start with education. As civil servants, we should lead by example. You will work there from now on."
Xiao Sun's attitude was somewhat arrogant, condescendingly emphasizing, "This is arranged by Mayor Li himself. I've already made arrangements with the people at the middle school. They will contact you."
After saying that, Xiao Sun hung up the phone.
"How about that, is this surprise unexpected and delightful?" Niu Da Shan smiled broadly.
"Did you do this?" Lu Hao already guessed in his heart what had happened.
"Yes, it was me. If you have the ability, use your connections to get me in trouble," Niu Da Shan was even more arrogant, completely tearing his face with Lu Hao, not hiding his despicable actions at all.
"Niu Da Shan, you'd better make sure I can't come back. If I do, you won't have a good time," Lu Hao was also a tough temper, speaking word by word.
"You still want to come back? Keep dreaming. This time, it's the mayor himself who transferred you. Even that bitch Lin Xi Yue can't interfere. If you can come back, I'll follow your surname in the future," Niu Da Shan didn't take Lu Hao seriously at all.
"Niu Da Shan, things change, don't speak too full, be careful of spraining your tongue," Lu Hao said, and left the office immediately.
Fangshui Township Middle School is next to the township government, very close. Lu Hao didn't drive, he walked there, and Fang Jing also teaches here.
Although the township is poor and the school's hardware is not very good, teachers can basically have a single dormitory.
During work, when there are many classes, Fang Jing lives in the dormitory, and on weekends, Lu Hao picks her up to go back to the county town.
At this time, Fang Jing should still be in class. Lu Hao thought about waiting for Fang Jing in the dormitory to surprise her, and it just so happens that they can stay together tonight.
When Lu Hao arrived at the school gate, he inadvertently saw a beautiful woman picking up a package.
The woman was wearing sports headphones, Nike running shoes, and a slim-fitting gray sports suit. This attire seemed out of place in this poor township.
Most importantly, the woman had a good figure, full and curved. Lu Hao couldn't help but walk closer to take a few more glances, and was shocked to see such a beauty.
The woman was only a few years older than Lu Hao, not quite 1.7 meters tall, with delicate facial features and flowing hair.
Lu Hao has also been to college in the provincial capital, but among all the beautiful women he has seen, none can compare with the woman in front of him.
When did Fangshui Township Middle School have such a beautiful teacher?
He has been here many times, why hasn't he seen it once? New recruit?
Lu Hao stared at the other party's white face and long legs for a while, his eyes were somewhat straight.
The woman seemed to notice and suddenly turned to look at Lu Hao: "Is it good to look at?"
Lu Hao was startled and came back to his senses, blushing and explaining: "Don't get me wrong, I... didn't peek at you, I... also came to pick up the package."
This clumsy excuse, Lu Hao said he wanted to find a crack to get in.
The woman rolled her eyes at Lu Hao and walked straight into the school with the package.
"Am I regarded as a pervert?" Lu Hao was extremely embarrassed.
At this time, his mobile phone rang.
The other party said he was someone from the township middle school, asking Lu Hao to report to the logistics department at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, and not to be late, the students' desks and chairs are still waiting for him to repair.
Lu Hao casually made a few perfunctory remarks and hung up the phone.
He has been to Fangshui Township Middle School before and is very familiar with it.
After entering the campus, Lu Hao took the dormitory key that Fang Jing had given him before and entered Fang Jing's dormitory.
But as soon as he entered, he frowned.
Fang Jing often likes to spray some perfume in the dormitory. Every time Lu Hao came, he could smell it, but today, he smelled the smell of smoke.
Lu Hao couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart.
The smell of smoke hasn't dissipated yet, there must have been another man here in the afternoon.
He took a glance at the trash can, and there was indeed a cigarette butt inside, his face was very ugly.
Who is the man who came to Fang Jing's dormitory?
Lu Hao has always been very sensitive, and he can't help but guess whether Fang Jing is having an affair with another man behind his back.
Fang Jing's call happened to come in at this time.
After connecting, Fang Jing's voice was a bit excited: "Hey, Lu Hao, where are you? I have good news for you. My dad found a relationship in the Education Bureau, and they said my transfer has been arranged by my cousin, and the process has been completed. My dad gave some more gifts, and the people from the Education Bureau gave me the transfer letter."
Fang Jing's words are hard to hide the excitement, which shows how much she wants to transfer back to the county middle school.
Lu Hao was also stunned, and he didn't expect this matter to turn around.
In fact, last week, he mentioned this matter to Liu Yuanda, but later, there was no movement in Fang Jing's transfer, and Lu Hao thought Liu Yuanda was too busy to forget, thinking about mentioning it again.
As a result, before he could say it, Liu Yuanda had an accident, so Lu Hao thought Fang Jing's transfer was over.
But in fact, Liu Yuanda not only didn't forget, but also arranged for the Education Bureau to go through the process.
He just mentioned it casually, and Liu Yuanda settled Fang Jing's matter, which shows how much he values his cousin, which makes Lu Hao more grateful to Liu Yuanda.
"Since the transfer is settled, where are you now? I'm in your dormitory now, why do I smell the smell of smoke as soon as I come in!" Lu Hao didn't want to go around with Fang Jing, and asked coldly.
