Chapter 825: Chapter 825
Ma Xiaoyan was all smiles, very warm and lively, with a playful cuteness in her laughter that made people feel comfortable.
Xu Qianli said, “Yeah, I just got a harsh scolding from Minister Zhang, it was miserable. As for how I offended her, it’s a long story, but it was really bullshit.”
Hehehe, I just got scolded by Zhang Hong, but it was more of a lesson taught by her extremely hot body.
Luckily, I’m strong and energetic, otherwise, I would have been wrecked by her, probably couldn’t even walk.
That beautiful woman’s figure is truly incredible, absolutely first-rate, making me like her so much.
What’s even more satisfying is her usual aloof demeanor, but in private, she’s full of fiery passion, too much to handle.
With a beauty like that, no wonder her husband neglects her.
An average man would find her too much to handle, would definitely avoid her.
Even if her husband wanted to treat her better, he couldn’t do it.
Hahahaha, that works to my advantage now.
Looking back now, Xu Qianli felt a sense of pride.
As a man, being able to conquer such a top-notch beauty, especially one of high status, is really something to brag about.
But for now, he had to keep things with Zhang Hong a secret; he knew that as long as Zhang Hong knew, it was fine. On the surface, it was best to pretend like they weren’t getting along, keep it from everyone, and meet in secret.
Take Ma Xiaoyan in front of him, for example, she’s like the quintessential gossip queen. She knows I’ve offended Zhang Hong but can’t suppress her curiosity to come find out more, definitely loves gossip, can’t let her know anything.
Speaking of which, she looks pretty good too, shares the same name as my old classmate’s sister, looks rather naive.
Ma Xiaoyan almost burst into laughter upon hearing what Xu Qianli said.
“You and Zhang Hong, Minister Zhang, I know all about what’s going on. Look at you still pretending, as if you two really had a fallout, you’re something else.”
I’d heard of couples who were secretly close but acted like enemies in public, but I’ve never seen it before. Today, Ma Xiaoyan got a glimpse.
Thinking about it, Xu Qianli is so handsome, Zhang Hong is so beautiful, they really do match up by looks, such a pity they each have their own lives and can never be together.
Though that’s how it is, the two of them still ended up together. Now that I hold onto this secret, can I leverage it against Xu Qianli and Zhang Hong?
Upon careful consideration, Ma Xiaoyan quickly gave up on leveraging it against Zhang Hong.
Not because she didn’t want to, but because she didn’t dare to.
Who is Zhang Hong, after all? Minister of the City Organization Department, a prominent figure in Hai City, practically the chief steward of officials.
Such a person, with just a word, can have you pack up and leave.
With her own capabilities, if Ma Xiaoyan dared to provoke Zhang Hong, she’d probably be a goner.
As for Xu Qianli, he doesn’t seem easy to pin down either.
He’s already a deputy director at a young age, was so domineering back in Jiang City, kicked out both Fu Guotai and Zhang Dongyang with one move—such a fierce person. If I dared to try to leverage against him, he’d probably retaliate severely.
Knowing their secret but unable to pin anything on them, it seems there’s only one way to benefit—get close to Xu Qianli.
Even though I don’t know how Xu Qianli got involved with Zhang Hong, since I know they have a thing, getting closer to Xu Qianli and building a good relationship with him is definitely helpful.
After all, Xu Qianli said before, if I follow him, he’d guarantee I’d rise rapidly.
When he said that, I had no idea about his relationship with Zhang Hong, thought he was just talking nonsense. Now, looking back, he really has the confidence.
Encountering someone like him, getting such an opportunity, a chance to rise quickly, I certainly don’t want to miss.
Being persuaded by my best friend long ago, I should follow a powerful man to Cailin County.
If I had to choose, I’d be more than willing to choose Xu Qianli, this young, handsome, and potential man.
Of course, once chosen Xu Qianli, I’d be seen as one of his people. In Cailin County, Xu Qianli’s enemies Fu Guotai and Zhang Dongyang would consider me a thorn in their side and probably wouldn’t make things easy for me.
But, banking on Xu Qianli’s capabilities, Ma Xiaoyan is willing to take the gamble and follow along.
Ma Xiaoyan’s smile grew wider, looking at Xu Qianli, he became more pleasing to the eye.
This man really has that masculine charm; after sneaking a peek at his and Zhang Hong’s ‘thing’ just now, Ma Xiaoyan knew just how robust he was, noticeably intimidating.
Such an exceptional man, I wonder how many beauties like him, really curious about what his girlfriend is like, if she’s pretty.
Humph, I’m not bad myself, was a standout at my original workplace, might not match Zhang Hong, but not worse than others, right?
Anyway, get involved with Xu Qianli first, get familiar with him, then think about other things later.
Having made up her mind, Ma Xiaoyan brazenly, in front of everyone, directly grabbed Xu Qianli’s arm, clinging to him.
Seeing this, many people around widened their eyes, almost not believing their own eyes.
What the hell, what’s up with Ma Xiaoyan, she knows Xu Qianli and Zhang Hong, Fu Guotai, and Zhang Dongyang aren’t on good terms, yet she’s getting so close to Xu Qianli, isn’t she afraid of being seen as one of Xu Qianli’s people?
Once seen as Xu Qianli’s person, she’d be retaliated against, get targeted.
Others try to stay away from Xu Qianli; she’s doing the opposite, getting so close, hugging his arm, doing something outrageous.
Sigh, could it be that this girl is infatuated?
Come to think of it, Xu Qianli is quite handsome, maybe Ma Xiaoyan is just infatuated.
This woman seemed pretty normal, but turns out she’s infatuated, it’s such a pity.
Many have secretly decided that since Ma Xiaoyan is infatuated and sticking to Xu Qianli, they must keep some distance from her, can’t get involved.
More people are already looking forward to the trip to Cailin County, to see how Xu Qianli and Ma Xiaoyan will be dealt with.
On Xu Qianli’s end, he shook his arm, “I say, Ma Xiaoyan, do you have to be so clingy? We’re not that familiar, right? If someone didn’t know any better, they’d think we have some sort of relationship. How about letting go and talking properly, we can negotiate things, right? What if people misunderstand?”
“Let them misunderstand, I don’t care about such things. I, Ma Xiaoyan, am straightforward, always eat two big bowls of rice and even love fatty meat, couldn’t care less about others’ opinions. But you, you’re a grown man, why act so prissy, like a girl, even worse than me. A man should have thicker skin, you know.”
