Tai Man reluctantly nodded.
The person responsible for picking her up must be a public servant from Hualin County. It's hard not to run into each other in the same unit, so it's fortunate to have the opportunity to talk about it now.
Yang Chen stared blankly at Tai Man.
What a melodramatic soap opera plot, huh?
He actually became the male lead in the play!
Tai Man: "Stop standing there like a fool, where's the car?"
Yang Chen regained his composure and walked towards the car with Tai Man. As they walked, he introduced himself, saying, "Tai... County Chief Tai, my name is Yang Chen, and I work at the County Committee Office. I'm sorry I didn't recognize you just now."
Tai Man remained silent and followed Yang Chen into the car, saying, "Drive."
Yang Chen started the car and saw Tai Man with a serious expression. He said, "That night..."
"Don't mention that night again. The note I left was very clear. Let's just pretend that nothing ever happened."
Yang Chen hesitated for a moment and felt it was necessary to explain, "County Chief Tai, I really am not a duck."
"When did I ever say you were a duck?"
“Then why did you leave a thousand yuan for the overnight fee?”
Tai Man was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said word by word, "That's not an overnight fee!"
Ah?!
Yang Chen frowned and asked, "What do you mean by leaving money?"
"You cried and said you got divorced, claiming to have been cheated on and left with nothing. You've been married for two years, but haven't even touched your wife, and now you're left with nothing. I felt sorry for you, so I left you all the money I had on me."
*Creak...*
One sudden brake and Tai Man was almost thrown to the front seat.
Tai Man angrily shouted, " Yang Chen, what are you doing?"
"I'm sorry," Yang Chen apologized quickly, restarting the car and awkwardly saying, "Did I tell you all these things?"
How could I talk about such embarrassing things?
Where in the world would someone go around claiming to have been cheated and turned into a "king of tortoises"? Yang Chen realized his mistake and promised, "I'll consider the 1,000 yuan as a loan from you, County Magistrate. I'll definitely pay you back when I receive my salary at the end of the month."
"Up to you." Tai Man said casually, paused for a moment, and then said, "Yang Chen, I don't want anyone else to know about what happened between us."
Yang Chen solemnly promised, "Leader, rest assured, I guarantee that no one else will know. I have never mentioned a word to anyone from beginning to end. I am very tight-lipped."
Tai Man really can't trust her. Yang Chen even told her all his own business. Who knows when she might spill the beans about the two of them.
Tai Man could only warn her: "I hope you can keep your word, otherwise I guarantee you won't have an easy time. In the future, unless it's absolutely necessary for work, we'll act like we don't know each other and try not to meet."
Yang Chen understands Tai Man's meaning, she wants to distance herself from him.
This won't do.
He also mentioned borrowing Tai Man to advance.
Yang Chen pondered for a while and asked, "Leader, do you know why I am the one picking you up today? Not a single deputy county mayor showed up, not even the director of the government office."
"They are busy, so there's no need for them to come and pick me up in a big way. This is fine."
The little girl is still young!
So naive and without any scheming, how could Yang Chen possibly compete with that old fox Wang Hongen? Yang Chen worries about his own future.
Yang Chen said earnestly, "Even if they are busy, they should send a leader to pick you up, especially since today is Saturday, a day off. Their intentional absence is meant to intimidate you."
"Are you trying to intimidate me?" Tai Man frowned, looking puzzled.
"That's right. They should also hold a grand Welcome Banquet for you, and many leaders will be present. It's a way of telling you that if you behave and listen, everyone will treat you warmly like at the Welcome Banquet. But if you cause trouble, you'll be treated coldly just like now."
Bang...
Tai Man slapped the seat in anger and said, "They really don't take me, the acting county mayor, seriously."
"Don't be too angry. Everyone still treats you with respect on the surface, after all, you are the acting county head. No one dares to offend you. But if the policies you want to implement are rejected, or if the progress is slow, they will secretly hinder you. When you realize that no one welcomes you and you can't stay in Hualin anymore, you will leave just like you did in Yongning County, feeling dejected."
Mentioning Yongning, Tai Man gritted his teeth and his hair stood on end.
Tai Man is not well-received in Yongning, no matter what she wants to do, she will be constrained by the secretary and the county mayor, so she came to Hualin County. In Hualin, she only has one secretary above her, thinking that there would be less resistance, but now it seems that the water in Hualin is even deeper than in Yongning.
Tai Man said fiercely, "I am the deputy county mayor, and I refuse to be discouraged. This time, I will not leave like a beaten dog as I did in Yongning!"
"It's good to have ambition, but I'm afraid of being excluded and crying everywhere in the end."
"You..."
Yang Chen realized that his tone was disrespectful, and quickly changed his approach: "I'm just looking out for you, County Chief. I'm just suggesting that if you really want to make a difference in Hualin, you need to learn to be patient, especially not to clash with Secretary. If one day you really want to make a scene, you should wait until you have a firm footing."
Tai Man linked her arm with curiosity, looking at Yang Chen. She didn't believe that Yang Chen was only thinking about her. "Are you telling me all this so that I can help you deal with Secretary Wang?"
"I don't have any grudge against Secretary Wang. I want to deal with Wang Ji. And I don't want to sit on the sidelines at the County Committee Office anymore. I want to climb up. I can't let Zhao Na look down on me. But don't worry, even if I climb up, I will do practical things for Hualin. I hope for Hualin's well-being more than you, the county mayor. You are just passing through for Hualin, but I have feelings for this place. I might have to stay here for the rest of my life."
"Focus on driving your car." Tai Man closed her eyes. She needed to digest Yang Chen's words.
"Okay." Yang Chen gave Tai Man some time to digest, and suddenly remembered something, "That night..."
Tai Man opened his eyes and angrily said, "Yang Chen! I warned you not to mention that night again! If you dare to bring it up again, I will press you to death on the cold bench, and you won't be able to get up."
"I'll mention it again, this is very important." Yang Chen felt it necessary to remind Tai Man, "That night, I didn't take any safety measures. You should still check, just in case..."
Tai Man's face turned red in an instant, even redder than a ripe apple. Through gritted teeth, he said, "I went out and bought some pills, I won't... I won't get pregnant."
"That's good, that's good. County Magistrate, you should rest first. It's over four hours back to the city, so you should take a nap if you're tired."
Yang Chen still felt quite regretful. He didn't expect Tai Man to be so considerate and take the medicine early. If she really is pregnant, even if it's out of the sense of being the child's father, she would still lend him a hand, right?
"More than four hours?" Tai Man asked in confusion. "As far as I know, it's less than a three-hour drive from the urban area to Hualin."
