47: Chapter 47 Lan Qianrong Takes Action!

47: Chapter 47 Lan Qianrong Takes Action!

Lan Qianrong was too beautiful, mesmerizing everyone like a blossoming flower.

Amid the astonishment, Li Weiguo quickly asked, “Who are you, and how did you get in?

We are currently holding a Jiang City County Government executive meeting.

Irrelevant people, leave immediately!”

“Are you asking me to leave?”

“I’m afraid you don’t have the authority to do that!”

“Let me introduce myself.

I am Lan Qianrong, and the City Organization Department has already selected me to be the new Jiang City Magistrate.”

“I was supposed to take office in a week, but on a whim today, I wanted to come early to familiarize myself with the environment.”

“So, as the new County Magistrate, do I really not have the right to attend the executive meeting of Jiang City County Government?”

Displaying her authoritative identity, Lan Qianrong walked forward with her stunning long legs, elegantly moving to stand beside Xu Qianli.

“Please, lead the way.”

Xu Qianli stood up and offered the County Magistrate’s seat to Lan Qianrong.

In front of everyone, Lan Qianrong sat in the Jiang City County Magistrate’s seat, commanding the room with the presence of a queen.

Hearing Lan Qianrong’s words and witnessing the scene unfold threw a bombshell among the attendees.

What did she just say, claiming to be the new Jiang City Magistrate?

Could that be possible?

Wasn’t it confirmed that Zhang Kuisan, acting as the interim County Magistrate, would officially take the position?

How did a woman suddenly appear and take his place?

Could there be unforeseen changes that everyone was unaware of?

Or was this woman a fraudster here to bluff?

But that seemed unlikely.

What benefits would she gain impersonating the County Magistrate?

Moreover, being such a beautiful woman, she didn’t seem like a fraudster.

And considering her commanding aura, she appeared far stronger than Zhang Kuisan; she was definitely not ordinary.

Also, the way Xu Qianli addressed her, with the respectful “Please, lead the way,” seemed to hint that he might have already known her before this.

Perhaps she truly was the new County Magistrate?

Zhang Kuisan was entirely confused, utterly bewildered.

He had thought his appointment as County Magistrate was a done deal.

How could there suddenly be a new County Magistrate?

Zhang Kuisan shook his head slightly and said, “Impossible, how could you be the new County Magistrate?

If that were the case, wouldn’t the City Organization Department have sent a notification letter?”

Lan Qianrong calmly opened her bag, pulling out a red-headed document and placing it on the conference table.

“You mean this notification letter, right?

Just take a look.”

Zhang Kuisan hurriedly took the document, scrutinized it carefully, and was so shocked that he collapsed into his seat, overwhelmed.

The document quickly made its way around the room, everyone seeing that it indeed was a notification letter from the City Organization Department, informing Jiang City County Party Committee and Government, People’s Congress, and Political Consultative Conference of the decision to appoint Comrade Lan Qianrong as the new Jiang City County Magistrate.

Suddenly…

Realizing that Lan Qianrong was truly the new County Magistrate, everyone except Zhang Kuisan stood up.

“Hello, County Magistrate!”

“Welcome, County Magistrate Lan, to lead our County Government team.”

Lan Qianrong waved her hand.

“Sit down, everyone.”

“I have a few words to say.”

“Normally, as the new County Magistrate, I should have received the notification letter, waited for the publicity period to pass, and then arrived here with the leaders from the City Organization Department.”

“Today, I came here on a whim just to look around.

This meeting…

theoretically, I shouldn’t even be offering my opinions.”

“Regarding the content of this meeting, I won’t express personal opinions, to avoid being faulted.”

“However, I do quite admire this comrade Xu Qianli.

He’s young, bold, and has initiative.

It’s no wonder the former County Magistrate chose him as a secretary.”

“Given his outstanding abilities, once I arrive in Jiang City, it seems fitting to choose him as my secretary candidate.”

“Xu Qianli, would you like to be my secretary?”

Lan Qianrong issued the invitation on the spot, wanting Xu Qianli to be her secretary.

Xu Qianli was a bit dazed for a moment.

Happiness came so unexpectedly that he was momentarily unable to accept it.

Just two days ago, through a mix-up, he had slept with Lan Qianrong, the beautiful County Magistrate, knowing she would be coming to Jiang City in ten days.

In the last two days, he had been incredibly anxious, fearing she would launch a fierce retaliation against him upon her arrival.

He had never imagined that she would arrive today, not only refraining from troubling him but also supporting him and wanting him to be her secretary.

This…

was more than just a pie falling from the sky.

For such a woman, Xu Qianli did not believe he could have won her over in just one night.

There had to be other factors at play.

Perhaps, it was purely because she admired how he handled the situation in Wang Family Village and thus wanted to reuse him?

Or maybe she was thinking of wooing the old County Magistrate’s team through showing favor to him, thereby taking control of the County Government more quickly?

Regardless of the reason, being her secretary was an opportunity not to be refused!

Xu Qianli took a deep breath and gave an exceedingly solemn answer.

“Thank you, leader, for your confidence.

In the future, please feel free to command me, Xu Qianli!”

Lan Qianrong nodded with a smile, “Alright, that settles it.

There’s nothing else then.

I won’t disturb your executive meeting anymore, you can proceed with the vote.”

With those words, Lan Qianrong swept a meaningful glance around those present and then rose to leave.

Everyone hurried forward to see her off respectfully.

The meeting continued after a while.

Now, the atmosphere in the meeting had completely changed.

Zhang Kuisan, Li Weiguo, and Ding Biao’s arrogance was gone; each of them appeared dispirited and listless, like frostbitten eggplants, all wilted.

Xu Qianli once again sat in the Magistrate’s seat, calmly surveying everyone and knocked on the table.

“Let’s continue with the vote, as Deputy County Magistrate Zhang suggested, who agrees to detain He Jinlong and seize Hehua Real Estate?”

After finishing, Xu Qianli was the first to raise his hand.

Brush brush brush, including the two Deputy County Magistrates Sun Yan and Zeng Changyun, many people raised their hands in agreement.

Xu Qianli said, “According to the rules of the meeting, the proposal can be passed since more than half have agreed.

However, Deputy County Magistrate Zhang, you are currently acting as the County Magistrate with a veto right.

Do you wish to veto the proposal?”

“Xu Qianli, you’re being extremely unreasonable!”

Zhang Kuisan suddenly stood up, glaring at Xu Qianli with uncontrollable anger, unable to suppress his fury.

Although he was the acting County Magistrate, he was only the acting one; the legitimate County Magistrate had already appeared and strongly praised Xu Qianli.

He would have had to be extremely audacious to veto Xu Qianli’s proposal.

Confronting Zhang Kuisan’s rage, Xu Qianli coolly said, “I’m just asking if Deputy County Magistrate Zhang wants to veto the proposal.

How am I being unreasonable?

Deputy County Magistrate Zhang, it seems you have a deep prejudice against me.”

“Enough, Xu Qianli, enough!”

“I ask you, did you already know about the decision from the City Organization Department, did you already know about County Magistrate Lan’s impending arrival?”

Zhang Kuisan practically roared these questions.

No wonder Xu Qianli had suddenly changed in the past two days, bursting with energy and disregarding even him.

This guy must have known about Lan Qianrong’s upcoming appointment in Jiang City!

Faced with Zhang Kuisan’s interrogation, Xu Qianli waved his hand dominantly.

“We are at the voting stage of Jiang City County Government’s executive meeting.

Let’s discuss other matters later, Deputy County Magistrate Zhang.

Since the majority agrees and you do not veto, I hereby declare the proposal passed!”

“Director Li, immediately go and seize Hehua Real Estate!”
