18: Chapter 18 The Charming Deputy County Magistrate!

18: Chapter 18 The Charming Deputy County Magistrate!

The moment the afternoon work hours began, Xu Qianli made his way to the County Government.

This place was his lucky charm, where he once basked in boundless glory.

In the past month, after the passing of the former County Magistrate, he had been ruthlessly trampled underfoot, repeatedly suppressed, realizing how fickle human relationships can be, how much disdain he had received—all these scenes were etched in his memory.

Now, that period had finally come to an end; this place was still his turf, and he would not let anyone oppress him again!

“Hey, isn’t that Xu Qianli?

What brings you here?”

Suddenly, a pleasant female voice came from beside him.

Xu Qianli glanced sideways and saw a tall woman standing next to him, clad in a red T-shirt and a white miniskirt, looking stunning.

The woman was about thirty-five or thirty-six, the years had not left many marks on her face, which was still very beautiful with elastic skin.

Her cheeks appeared so tender it seemed water could be squeezed out with a pinch.

Not only was she beautiful, but her figure was also top-notch.

The soft fabric of the T-shirt was stretched tight across the chest, and the miniskirt outlined the contours of a slim waist, with even more impressively rounded curves below.

No matter how you looked at her, she was a top-tier mature beauty: attractive, well-figured, and extremely charming, radiating allure all around her.

This woman, Xu Qianli was all too familiar with—she was the Deputy County Magistrate in charge of culture and education, named Sun Yan.

When the former County Magistrate was alive, he greatly valued the cultural and educational affairs of the county.

As a close associate of his, Xu Qianli had frequent contact with Sun Yan, often visiting the towns together.

Because of this, rumors spread that he and Sun Yan were having an affair, which even reached Xu Shuman’s ears.

She had directly confronted him about it.

Sun Yan was also one of the few women in the County Government who had remained pleasant towards him during the time he was suppressed by Zhang Kuisan.

Seeing Sun Yan now, Xu Qianli noticed she was carrying a thick stack of documents.

He quickly smiled and reached out to take them from her.

“Vice County Magistrate Sun, you fragile lady, carrying so much.

Aren’t you afraid of wearing yourself out?”

“As for why I’m here, this is my workplace, of course, I should come,” he added.

Sun Yan laughed upon hearing this, arching her back slightly, “I’m not as delicate as you say; I can still carry twenty or thirty pounds.

But you, weren’t you supposed to visit the reservoir in Qingshan Town for a survey?

Has there been a change in plans?”

Sun Yan already had a good figure, even without arching her back, her bust was prominent.

With this arch, the dramatic contours became even more pronounced and visibly bounced, making Xu Qianli reflexively swallow and quickly avert his eyes.

“Oh, yes, there has been a change, and it seems I might not need to visit the reservoir after all.”

“It’s hot outside; let’s go into the office building.

I’ll bring your documents to your office,” he said.

Xu Qianli then headed towards the office building.

Sun Yan saw everything, glanced down at her ample chest, recalled Xu Qianli’s wolf-like stare from before and how he later avoided looking at her figure, and couldn’t help but smile slyly as she followed him with her slim legs.

“Xu Qianli, wait for me.

I’m not a tiger.

I won’t eat you up.

Why are you running so fast?” she called out.

Upon hearing her words from behind, Xu Qianli hastened his pace even more.

This beautiful woman might not be a tiger, but when stirred, she could probably match one in ferocity.

After all, he had seen men who sneaked a glance at her chest being kicked by her, unable to come to work for several days.

Soon they both entered the office building, and Xu Qianli placed all the documents on Sun Yan’s desk, ready to leave.

But as Xu Qianli turned to go, Sun Yan promptly held him back.

“All right, there’s no one else here.

I have something to tell you.

Are you interested in transferring out of town?” she said.

What…

transfer out of town?

Xu Qianli looked at Sun Yan with confusion.

Why would she suddenly say something like that?

Sun Yan raised her chin slightly, her beautiful face full of concern, and she spoke softly.

“Xu Qianli, I know your current situation.

You’ve already been so suppressed by County Magistrate Zhang that you can’t catch your breath, and you were even nearly sent to oversee the reservoir.”

“Instead of continuing to stay in Jiang City, why not transfer somewhere else to develop?”

“I have some connections outside the area.

If you’re willing, I can try to make some moves and get you transferred over there.”

“However, my influence isn’t that great.

A lateral move might be difficult, and your position is likely to be downgraded by one level.”

Sun Yan spoke her thoughts.

She had long intended to give Xu Qianli a hand, but it seemed like he still had hope until now.

But today, she learned that Xu Qianli was to be assigned to oversee the reservoir, to be knocked down into the abyss.

If she didn’t reach out now, he would be done for.

Since she ran into him now, she spoke her mind.

Faced with Sun Yan’s kindness, Xu Qianli felt a mix of emotions—touched, yet his thoughts were in turmoil.

In the past, as the former County Magistrate’s secretary, he was always amiable during his glory days, never offending anyone easily, and he helped many people.

Who would have thought, after his downfall, those people not only didn’t lend him a hand, they didn’t even kick him while he was down, and even his girlfriend broke up with him.

Unexpectedly, there was still someone willing to help him.

The key was, his relationship with her, although not bad, was just that of fairly good colleagues.

Yet, she reached out to help him at his most difficult time, which really moved him.

In a moment of emotion, Xu Qianli took Sun Yan’s hand.

“Vice County Magistrate Sun, thank you for your kindness.

I will remember your favor for a lifetime.

If you ever need anything, just command me.

As long as it’s within my power, I will not hesitate.”

“As for transferring, I don’t have plans for that right now.

I still want to develop here in Jiang City.”

“Only today did I realize that not only are you beautiful, with a great figure and strong work capability, but you also have such a kind heart.

It’s just a pity that you are already married, otherwise, I would definitely take you back home to be my wife.”

In his excitement, Xu Qianli blurted out whatever came to mind, startling Sun Yan.

By the time Xu Qianli got to the last sentence, Sun Yan’s cheeks were flushed with embarrassment.

“You’re really something, spouting nonsense like that.”

“What do you mean ‘beautiful with a great figure’ and ‘wanting to take me back home as a wife’?

Don’t you dare use flowery speech as an excuse to take advantage of me again!”

“Ow, that hurts…”

As Sun Yan was speaking, she suddenly felt a severe pain in her chest, instinctively holding her heart.

“Vice County Magistrate Sun, what’s wrong with you?” Xu Qianli stared intently at Sun Yan’s chest, “You don’t have a heart condition, do you?”

“It’s not a heart condition.

I’ve had a growth in my chest for the past two years.

The doctor told my husband to rub it often to help it dissipate.”

“But my husband is career-driven, always away on business, with a bunch of little tramps around him, and he doesn’t have the inclination to come back and keep me company, let alone rub the growth for me.”

“I’ve tried it myself, but it hurts so much at the slightest touch that I don’t dare apply any pressure, and it’s just gotten worse over time.

Now I get these pains intermittently, and this is actually one of the milder episodes.

Last night it hurt so badly I could hardly sleep.”

Sun Yan’s eyes suddenly fixed on Xu Qianli as she spoke, a glint sparking in them.

“Why don’t you help me?”
