Gu Lin was indeed on a date with his girlfriend, Fang Ailan!
Their rendezvous point was even a hotel!
After all, they were a young couple in the throes of passion, so it was inevitable they'd want a private space to be alone.
Moreover, Gu Lin had been coveting Fang Ailan's figure for a long time; after just two days of dating, he couldn't wait to bring her to a hotel, and after some pulling and tugging, he pushed her onto the bed in the room.
And just like that, it had already been several rounds, fortunately, a call from Director Duan came in, allowing Gu Lin to conveniently end it.
If it had continued, he would have truly been exposed.
He had gotten some special strengthening medicine from someone and only then was he barely able to act like a real man a few times; if it continued… the medicine's effect would wear off.
"What's wrong? Did Director Duan call you? Were we criticized for taking leave?"
Fang Ailan pulled the nearby cup to cover her body and quickly asked.
After she passed the civil service exam, it was through Gu Lin's family connections that she was arranged to work in the County Government Office. She was supposed to be at work today, but Gu Lin insisted on going out to relax. If she didn't agree, he would be unhappy, so Fang Ailan naturally had no choice but to comply. After all, she still needed to rely on Gu Lin for promotions and to establish herself in the County Government Office!
"How could that be? I took a leave, who would dare criticize me?"
Gu Lin smiled triumphantly and said, "He, Duan Ze, doesn't have the guts. A new County Magistrate has arrived, and he recommended me to be the County Magistrate's secretary. I'm meeting the County Magistrate tomorrow to chat!"
Oh?
To be the County Magistrate's secretary?
Fang Ailan's eyes lit up; becoming a senior secretary to such a leader meant faster promotion opportunities!
"Then you should prepare well tonight and perform well tomorrow, striving for success."
Fang Ailan quickly reminded him.
The more successful Gu Lin was, the more resources she could enjoy.
"Don't worry, with me in charge, who can compete with me?"
Gu Lin chuckled and waved his hand, exuding confidence in every gesture. "I've been in the County Government Office for many years, and I'm a Deputy Section Chief. Who doesn't know my background? Since Director Duan recommended me, it's definitely going to happen. No one dares to compete with me!"
"The new County Magistrate just took office and knows nothing, so he will definitely listen to Director Duan. This County Magistrate's secretary position is mine!"
How amazing!
Fang Ailan's eyes were filled with excitement; with her boyfriend as the County Magistrate's secretary, she could establish herself in the County Government Office, wait quietly for two years, and definitely get promoted as well.
It seemed she hadn't followed the wrong person!
With Gu Lin's help, she would definitely achieve something in her official career.
The only pity was that his physical quality… was simply too ordinary!
After several rounds, she hadn't even broken a sweat!
Compared to Qin Mu… this guy was a good-for-nothing. At this moment, Fang Ailan's body was missing Qin Mu.
"Ai Lan, let's not talk about this. I really like you."
Gu Lin finished showing off and immediately hugged Fang Ailan tightly, saying excitedly, "I really didn't expect you to still be so pure. Even after graduating from university, you're still a virgin. I truly love you, and I will cherish you well from now on."
"I've always been very conservative. It's all your fault… after only dating for a few days, you… you dragged me to a hotel… you're so naughty!"
Fang Ailan looked shy, and as she spoke, her pretty face turned completely red.
In her heart, she was thinking: This silly boy, she had only prepared some fresh blood beforehand and then pretended to be in a lot of pain, and that's how she fooled him, earning herself a reputation for purity in his mind!
"It proves we're true love!"
Gu Lin chuckled, holding Fang Ailan, his face full of happiness, clearly very satisfied with Fang Ailan.
"Phew…"
Fang Ailan let out a small sigh of relief. She had managed to fool Gu Lin; at least he wouldn't have any more doubts about her 'purity.'
…
At the same time, Qin Mu was having a pleasant conversation with Han Ying, the Deputy Director of the County Government Office.
The person in front of him was very talkative. Qin Mu simply asked a few questions, and Han Ying revealed all the information about the County Government Office without reservation.
"County Magistrate Qin, I have been in the County Government Office for many years. If there's anything you want to know, just ask me. I will tell you everything I know and hide nothing from you."
Han Ying said solemnly.
She knew very well that the new County Magistrate talking to her on his first day in office was sending her a signal.
If she performed well and gained his trust, then becoming the Director of the County Government Office in the future would not be difficult.
The reason was simple: as the department serving the County Magistrate, any County Magistrate would want this department under his control. And Director Duan was clearly not County Magistrate Qin's person, so County Magistrate Qin would definitely want to find someone familiar and trustworthy to replace him.
And she was the Deputy Director of the County Government Office, with enough qualifications and ability, only lacking familiarity, which was why she needed to be tested.
Once she proved herself trustworthy, he would naturally promote her.
"What do you think of Gu Lin in the County Government Office as a person?"
Qin Mu smiled slightly and asked.
This…
Han Ying was startled. She hadn't expected County Magistrate Qin to pose such a difficult question right away.
Everyone in the County Government Office knew that Gu Lin came from a background; he had been promoted to Deputy Section Chief after two years. If Han Ying spoke ill of him, and Gu Lin found out later, would he make her life easy?
If she didn't speak, could she pass the County Magistrate's test?
"County Magistrate, based on my observation, Gu Lin doesn't seem to be here to work; he's more like he's here to gain experience for his resume."
Han Ying pondered for a moment and said, "But there are some things I can't control, I can only observe. His family situation… you should be clearer than me, I'll just…"
"I'm not clear, why don't you tell me?"
Qin Mu immediately followed up with a question.
Still talk?
Han Ying had intended to make her point subtly, but this County Magistrate didn't seem to be buying it, clearly wanting her to be more thorough.
"Gu Lin's father is a bureau chief in a municipal direct unit, and his uncle is Deputy County Chief Gu. He works in the County Government Office just to gain grassroots experience so he can be promoted later."
Han Ying took a deep breath and simply revealed everything.
She was currently without support or backing. If she didn't take a gamble now and win the new County Magistrate's trust, she would have no place in this County Government Office either.
Very good!
Finally, she revealed everything!
This was the effect Qin Mu wanted. If someone spoke to him hesitantly and evasively, how could he trust them?
"Director Han, work hard. I'll remember you."
Qin Mu smiled slightly, simply saying, "Go out and call Jiang Haoxuan in!"
"Okay, okay, I'll go right now!"
Han Ying was first stunned, then overcome with joy, before standing up and saying this.
Because she heard County Magistrate Qin's address: Director Han!
When she first came in, County Magistrate Qin had always referred to her as Deputy Director Han, but now he suddenly called her Director. Did this mean that he intended to make her the Director of the County Government Office?
If so, she would hit the jackpot!
It wasn't Han Ying overthinking; within the system, changes in address almost always carried deep meaning.
The County Magistrate's single phrase, "Director Han," made Han Ying ecstatic, and she was already thinking about how to dedicate herself to the new County Magistrate!
