Hearing such news, Xu Qianli could no longer focus on being intimate with He Lili. He spoke hastily, "It must be Zhang Kuisan's doing, that bastard really hits hard. Kai, don't panic; if he dares to do this, we can always resort to a fight to the death!"
"Bro, do you have a plan?"
Xu Qianli said, "There is one method I was planning to use only as a last resort, but it seems now I have no choice but to use it. Stay home; I'll come back from the city to find you, and we'll talk more when we meet."
As he was talking, Xu Qianli suddenly took a heavy breath.
He felt a soft hand reaching over, unapologetically pinching him.
This seductive woman, He Lili, knew he was on the phone, yet she still made her move against him.
"Hm, once I've dealt with things here, I'll return to the county immediately. See you later."
Thankfully, the phone call was ended, and Xu Qianli grabbed He Lili's hand.
"I must say, beautiful lady, are you really that desperate?"
"There are plenty of men in the world; is it necessary?"
He Lili simply threw herself into Xu Qianli's arms, sitting on his lap, smiling as she examined him,
"Hmph, say whatever you want, but I have my sights set on you!"
"A Beijing University Chinese Literature graduate, so tall and handsome, a young man who's already a department-level cadre, and you look so refined and cultured. Not just in Jiang City County, but even across the entirety of Zhongzhou City, there aren't many men like you."
"I was furious you didn't show up last night."
"Now I won't let you go no matter what you say, I want a child, give me one quickly!"
He Lili bit her red lip, her eyes sultry, her body burning hot, and her looks full of intense desire, as if she wanted to devour Xu Qianli in one gulp.
Xu Qianli was actually quite willing to get involved with such a woman, but the timing was all wrong.
"Babe, you heard just now, my buddy has been dismissed, and I'm about to be sent to oversee a reservoir in a rural area; I'm in a rush to deal with it in the county, I really don't have the time for that sort of thing with you now."
"Some other time, okay?"
Xu Qianli said this as he tried to move He Lili away.
This woman certainly was beautiful and tempting, but alas, he just didn't have the time or the mood.
He Lili wouldn't let go no matter what, not only did she not let go, she wrapped her arms even tighter around Xu Qianli's neck.
"It's just a tiny, little issue."
"Worst comes to worst, I'll talk to my dad, ask him to transfer you to the city. Then you won't have to deal with Jiang City County's nonsense or tolerate their bullshit."
"My dad's rank is not low, and he has worked in the city's organization department before. Transferring a department-level cadre like you to the city would be a piece of cake."
He Lili offered the deal, implying that as long as Xu Qianli took good care of her, getting him transferred to the city would be a matter of minutes.
When Zeng Changyun had brought her photos and other information to choose from, she had taken a liking to Xu Qianli at first glance.
Today, seeing him in person and being passionately kissed by him in the elevator had completely messed with her heart, and helping this young man was not out of the question.
Faced with He Lili's tempting offer, Xu Qianli fell silent for a moment and then quickly responded.
"Lady, if you'd said this to me yesterday, I would've definitely agreed and worshiped you like a goddess."
"But today is different, I've learned something: the old County Magistrate might have been murdered!"
"I, Xu Qianli, may just be a small department-level cadre, but the old County Magistrate was different; he was known for being incorruptible and upright in Jiang City County, and he had an excellent reputation. He was more than a benefactor; he saw potential in me."
"At this critical moment, I won't transfer anywhere. I will stay in Jiang City County, give Zhang Kuisan and his gang a good fight, and I want to clear up the true cause of the old County Magistrate's death."
"If the old County Magistrate was indeed murdered, I will bring those responsible to justice to console his spirit in the heavens!"
Xu Qianli spoke confidently.
Before yesterday, his primary concern was to transfer somewhere else.
But knowing that the old County Magistrate might have been killed made him completely abandon the idea of leaving.
The old County Magistrate was more than just a leader to him, Xu Qianli; he was like a close relative, closer than kin.
If someone had harmed the old County Magistrate, Xu Qianli would never agree to it!
Faced with the serious Xu Qianli, He Lili's little heart began to beat uncontrollably.
So this is what a real man was like; he was so masculine when serious.
But He Lili couldn't help worrying for him.
"You're aware of the current situation in Jiang City County, yet you insist on staying there to fight Zhang Kuisan and their group. With your current strength, can you really fight them?"
Xu Qianli said, "Even if I can't fight them, I will still fight. Even if I'm beaten and bloodied, I'm all in! Alright, beauty, I really am in a hurry. I have to go."
"Wait!"
He Lili knew she couldn't stop Xu Qianli, so she simply grabbed her purse, pulled out two items, and stuffed them into Xu Qianli's hand.
"Take these. If there's ever trouble, remember to contact me. I'll definitely help if I can."
Xu Qianli looked at the items in his hand, and his expression suddenly turned grim.
In his hand were two things: a business card with He Lili's name on it, owner of Beautiful Women Beauty Salon, along with her contact information, and the other item was a black thong.
Xu Qianli held the black thong, staring dumbfounded at He Lili.
This woman, she was too bold and too straightforward.
He Lili threw a flirtatious look at Xu Qianli, cooing, "Come on now, stop staring at me so intently; you're making me blush. Xu Qianli, I'm marking you as my stinky little brother. If you ever can't make it in Jiang City County, just come to me, I guarantee I'll pave the way for you. Of course, you know exactly how you should thank me."
As she spoke, He Lili's tender body gently rubbed against Xu Qianli, and her red lips moved closer to whisper in his ear, pouting as she blew hot air towards his earlobe.
