29: Chapter 29 Generous Gift!

Mingling in the officialdom, Xu Qianli naturally had quite an understanding of the major leaders at the county level and even within the province.

The name Zi Guangyu was all too familiar to him.

Among the top echelons of the province, she was not only the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Committee but also in charge of the Organization Department—truly a powerhouse, someone whom even the Province’s top two ranking officials could not afford to slight.

Furthermore, she had just passed fifty and, barring any unforeseen circumstances, still had potential to climb higher.

Rumors even suggested that when the Province’s number one official stepped down next year, she was the inevitable successor.

To have such a prominent figure, many clamored for a connection yet found no opportunity.

As for himself, fate had oddly decreed that he would save her daughter’s life.

Thanks to this incident, he won the favor to marry the daughter of the Secretary, becoming the son-in-law of a high-ranking woman; thinking about his bright future prospects was more than Xu Qianli dared to imagine.

But after all, he had saved her daughter’s life, and perhaps she might look after him in his career path in the future.

Even if it were just a little bit, it would be enough for him to stand much straighter in Jiang City.

When Bai Yanran saw Xu Qianli in a daze, she quickly grasped something.

“You wouldn’t happen to be a political figure, would you?”

“Speaking of which, the name Xu Qianli does ring a bell—I believe he’s the Secretary to the Jiang City County Magistrate.”

“After all this fuss, it turns out you’re Secretary Xu.

My apologies for the oversight.”

Hearing this, Xu Qianli laughed at himself, “Ms.

Bai, you’re jesting with me.

What am I but a tiny sesame seed-sized figure in your majestic presence?”

“Don’t sell yourself short.

You are so young; you might reach a height in the future that even I would have to look up to.”

“Let’s not talk about the future.

Today you saved my sister and Secretary Zi’s daughter.

Such a great favor—I must repay you properly.”

“I can’t think of anything substantial at the moment, but what do you think of this leisure and holiday villa?

If you like it, I’ll give it to you.”

“Of course, this is just a small gesture.

There will be more generous gifts in the future; I won’t let you down.”

Bai Yanran spoke these words nonchalantly as if offering the entire Yunding Villa to Xu Qianli was nothing at all.

What, give Yunding Villa to him?

Xu Qianli was so astonished that his mouth hung open.

Everyone in Jiang City knew the extravagance of Yunding Villa; it was not just the premier location in Jiang City but among the top leisure villas in the province.

Not to mention anything else, just the decoration of this living room alone probably cost no less than thirty million.

The whole villa was valued at at least one billion yuan.

To offer such a large asset, the stunning woman before him was being far too frightening with her generosity.

When he came to his senses, Xu Qianli repeatedly waved his hands.

“No, no, this is much too valuable; I simply can’t accept it.”

“Ms.

Bai, it’s true I saved your sister, and for a personage of your stature to stoop down and meet with me, to thank me personally, is already enough.”

“As for Yunding Villa, I truly cannot accept it.”

Xu Qianli directly refused; a ten-billion-yuan asset was too hot to handle for him.

Upon hearing his refusal, Bai Yanran’s brows immediately furrowed.

She stepped forward, pressing against Xu Qianli’s chest, her ample bust flattening instantly.

“No, you must accept it!”

“If you don’t accept this, you are looking down on me, Bai Yanran!”

“Do you think that my sister Bai Yanran’s life isn’t worth ten billion?”

“No matter what, you have to take over Yunding Villa, otherwise you’re just showing me disrespect, and don’t blame me if I’m not polite to you!”

In order to coerce Xu Qianli into accepting Yunding Villa, Bai Yanran was fiercely determined, standing her ground against him with the full force of an empowered woman.

She was like a queen, giving Xu Qianli no room to refuse.

Faced with such a domineering Bai Yanran, Xu Qianli also had a headache.

Ten billion, how could he just accept it?

What gave him an even bigger headache was that Bai Yanran’s figure was too good, her surprising firmness pressing against his chest sent his adrenaline soaring, almost making him lose control.

Up close, Xu Qianli could distinctly smell the rich fragrance emanating from her, a mixture of top-notch perfume with a woman’s scent.

Such a scent was a massive temptation to a virile man like him.

Suddenly, a pleasant female voice came from the doorway.

“Sis, who is he?

You’re dressed so lightly in broad daylight and getting so hot and heavy with him; he couldn’t be the brother-in-law you found for me, could he?”

“Heeheehee, not bad-looking at all, tall and handsome, with a certain respectable manner.

No wonder you like him.”

“I always say, it’s so lonely for a beautiful woman to be single; you might as well find a man sooner.”

“Now that you’ve found me a brother-in-law, I can rest easy.”

“But such matters are really intimate; maybe you two should go back to your room to do it?”

Following the voice, two girls hand in hand entered the room, their beautiful eyes never leaving Xu Qianli and Bai Yanran, as if watching a pair of curiosities.

Bai Yanran then realized how close she and Xu Qianli were.

She could even clearly feel Xu Qianli’s strong heartbeat and quickly left his embrace with a blush spreading uncontrollably over her stunning face.

One of the girls hurried over, grabbed Bai Yanran’s arm, and stared intently at Xu Qianli, batting her eyes, “Sis, quick, tell me, what’s your brother-in-law’s name?”

Bai Yanran glared fiercely at the girl.

“What brother-in-law?

Don’t talk nonsense!”

“Let me introduce you; this is my sister Bai Jinse, that is Secretary Zi’s daughter Zi Ning, and this man is Xu Qianli.

He’s your lifesaver!”

Lifesaver?

Bai Jinse and Zi Ning’s expressions changed dramatically; they quickly stepped towards Xu Qianli, surrounding him, inspecting him as if they had found a treasure.

Inspection after inspection, Bai Jinse blurted out in haste, “So after all this, you’re the jerk who took advantage of the situation to grope Zi Ning’s chest!

You scoundrel; I’ve been wanting to find you to settle things, and here you are, showing up on your own, let’s see how I deal with you!”

Bai Jinse was fiesty with anger, winding up her arm to deal with Xu Qianli.

Zi Ning, her face flushed, unconsciously looked down at her chest, as if still feeling the touch of Xu Qianli’s large hand.

Bai Yanran didn’t find this amusing and quickly grabbed Bai Jinse’s ear with a firm hand.

“You crazy girl, have you lost your mind?”

“Think about the situation at that time, with the car flipped, sparks flying and thick smoke billowing, ready to explode at any moment.

It was he who risked his life to rescue you.

Instead of feeling grateful, you’re causing trouble, looking for him with nonsense accusations.

I think you deserve some discipline!”

“As for the matter of touching Zi Ning’s chest, in the thick smoke, you couldn’t even open your eyes, he was blindly feeling around trying to save people and ended up touching there.

It was obviously unintentional.”

“Besides, Zi Ning herself hasn’t said anything.

Who do you think you are, to trouble Secretary Xu?”

With a fierce scolding from Bai Yanran, Bai Jinse didn’t dare to make a sound anymore, although she was still very angry, huffing and giving Xu Qianli a fierce look.

Xu Qianli chose to ignore Bai Jinse for the moment and gave Zi Ning an apologetic look.

“Even though it was unintentional, I did take liberties, and for that, I apologize and accept whatever punishment.

You just name it; I won’t argue one bit.”
