Chapter Nineteen Entering the Bureau

  When Zuo Yu Xi received the phone call, she was having dinner with her good friend Jiang Wei in a private room. Jiang Wei was the deputy director of the first inspection office of the municipal discipline inspection commission, and was in her thirties, elegant and refined, known as one of the beauties of the disciplinary organs. She had known Zuo Yu Xi for three or four years, and they got along very well, being one of Zuo Yu Xi's few good friends.

  When Jiang Wei heard Zuo Yu Xi speaking on the phone in a gentle tone, she teased: "Ah, isn't this dead girl secretly dating someone? If others saw the most beautiful and elegant female director of Qingzhou's official circle, with that tender and affectionate expression just now, many people would be shocked..."

  Zuo Yuxi said with a bad temper: "I'm afraid of your mouth, I really admire your husband Guo, how can he stand you?"

  "He? Able to marry a beauty like me, I don't know how many sticks of incense he's burned in his past lives. What's there not to be satisfied with? If he offends me, I might just have to give him a few green hats to wear."

  Zuo Yu Xi knew that Jiang Wei was actually a very conservative person - working in the Discipline Inspection Commission, who would dare to be so carefree and smiling? She was just taking advantage of Zuo Yu Xi's naivety and thin skin, using these marital matters to tease her every day.

  "Hum! I thought you had the heart but not the guts. Don't think that just because your husband is easy-going, when he makes up his mind, you won't still have to listen obediently?"

  "Yu Xi, where are you from? How come you're looking at my family's old Guo like that... actually, I don't mind..." Yu Xi's face turned red as she went to tickle her, the two of them tumbling into a heap. Luckily there were no outsiders around, or else they would have been shocked to see two beautiful women known for their elegance playing with each other.

  Jiang Wei was finally fooled and didn't ask about the phone call anymore. Zuo Yuxi secretly let out a sigh of relief, parted ways with Jiang Wei, and rushed to Qingyi Middle School. When she pushed open the door and entered, there was actually a sound of swallowing saliva coming from inside. Zuo Yuxi frowned in disgust, gave Mu Shanshan and others a cold glance, and walked straight to Wen Chen's side.

  "This chick is so beautiful, Shan Ge, I want her!"

  Before he could finish speaking, Mu Shan Shan was already drenched in cold sweat and wordlessly said: "She is Zuo Yu Xi..." That day, being slapped by Zuo Yu Xi and then scolded by Mu Ze Chen when he got home, Mu Shan Shan had already found out about Zuo Yu Xi's background and identity. No matter whether it was for him or his old man, someone like Zuo Yu Xi couldn't be offended no matter what.

  I didn't expect that Zuo Yu Xi would actually come over in person to help Wen Qing just for this small matter, what is the relationship between her and the Wen family?

  Hou Qiang, being an official's son, shrank his neck at the words, but the intense admiration in his eyes couldn't be concealed: "She is indeed the flower of Qingzhou!"

  Zuo Yuxi's appearance was absolutely beautiful, with a cold and elegant temperament. With her noble birth and deep background, as well as her own boundless prospects, she naturally became the object of admiration and adoration for many people. Some even gave her the reputation of being the "Flower of Qingzhou", which gradually spread far and wide.

  Zuo Yuxi first stared at Wen Chen for a moment, then turned to Hua Xikui and said: "I am Zuo Yuxi. May I ask what school rule has Wen Chen violated that requires parental involvement?" She had seen Hua Xikui before, but the small head of the teaching affairs office was not yet in her memory bank.

  Hua Xijiao was already stunned when Zuo Yuxi came in, he didn't expect that the seemingly unremarkable Wen Qian would actually bring out this lady. Who is Zuo Yuxi? He's the deputy director of the Education Bureau in Qingzhou, in charge of basic education and finance, holding the power to decide the fate of all primary and secondary schools in the city, and he's the direct superior of Principal Ma Changxue, with just one finger he can crush someone like an ant.

  Hua Jiyu was still holding onto her fantasy, but when Zuo Yuxi opened his mouth to mention Wen Cang, she suddenly felt a loud noise in her mind and went blank for a while before reacting. She quickly stood up and walked over to Zuo Yuxi with a curved waist that would make even yoga practitioners envious, her face full of smiles as she said: "Director Zuo, hello! I'm Hua Guozhang, the Dean of Studies at Number One Middle School. Please sit down, please sit down. What instructions do you have for us?"

  "Sit down, Director Hu. What exactly did Wen Jian do wrong? Please tell me straightforwardly. If he was at fault, I will support any punishment the school gives!"

  "It's like this, Wen Qiang and Mu Shan had a little misunderstanding," Hua Guozhang knew that the leader's words needed to be listened to in reverse, it seemed that this beautiful director was very angry. "The two of them played a friendly basketball game, during which they had some verbal sparring, then both sides started fighting, fortunately the school arrived on time and there were no serious consequences. My opinion is that since they are all first-time offenders, this matter can be resolved with just a verbal warning."

  Hua Guozhang was speechless with anxiety. Since Zuo Yuxi had come in person, did he still need to ask how to handle this matter? Of course, the blame would be shifted to Mushan Mountain, but the problem was that Mushan Mountain also couldn't afford to offend him. Offending Zuo Yuxi might cost him his position, but offending Mu Zeqian might mean he couldn't even stay in Qingzhou.

  For a moment, Director Hua just wanted to cry: Who is that little brat who came to report the fight? If I get through this, I'll make sure to deal with you, you little bastard!

  "A verbal warning?" Zuo Yu Xi let out a cold hum, walked over to Mu Shan's side, and looked him up and down from head to toe. He was also somewhat troubled in his heart. Currently, the situation in Qingzhou was delicate, and it was best to offend as few people as possible.

  Zuo Yu Xi wasn't wearing a professional suit, but his bright yellow sleeveless top paired with black thin-material slim-fit pants still made him look radiant and charming. A group of boys were captivated by Zuo Yu Xi's appearance, and without exception, they all lowered their heads, including Hou Qiang, who had just been staring blankly into space, also felt the overwhelming aura emanating from him and didn't dare to take another glance.

  They knew that although they couldn't defy the heavens, since they were born in this circle, they had long understood the importance and oppression of power. Zuo Yuxi had been in the officialdom for a long time, and naturally had an aura of majesty without anger, which was not something that a few young people could contend with? Wen Xiang saw Zuo Yuxi enter the door and immediately controlled the situation, Hua Xixiao was nothing, but those people, who were not masters of turning the world upside down, doing many cruel things that perhaps even thugs couldn't do, yet when they saw Zuo Yuxi, they became like sheep, not daring to make a sound.

  Those who can blend in with the officialdom are all talents! Wen Ze felt a sense of admiration in his heart, but on his face, he smiled calmly and said: "Thank you, Director Hua, for your kindness. Today's matter is not entirely right, I accept Director Hua's arrangement. Director Zuo, thank you for coming over."

  With so many people around, he didn't want to appear too intimate with Zuo Yu Xi, making others think that she was entrusted by his father would be the best. As he spoke, Zuo Yu Xi turned her head slightly in surprise, her big eyes that were capable of speaking seemed to ask: "Huh, is that it?"

  Wen Cheng nodded slightly, and Zuo Yuxi suddenly understood that he was afraid of embarrassing himself. After all, fights between young people were trivial matters, and if she intervened, wouldn't the adults think she was deliberately trying to humiliate him? In fact, she had also hesitated earlier, but for the sake of giving Wen Cheng an outlet, it didn't matter.

  Although the warm words have been said, Zuo Yuxi really has no reason to borrow the topic and play with it. He can only knock on Hua Xijiu: "Director Hua, No. 1 Middle School is a model of Qingzhou, and students from No. 1 Middle School are the best among the best. We need to educate them well and protect them even better. Today's matter is over, but you must take it as a warning and resolutely prevent such incidents from happening again. Do you understand?"

  That means if Wen Ze causes any more trouble at school, we'll settle all accounts together!

  The flower magpie nodded hastily, but in her heart she had secretly made up her mind: as long as she could get through this disaster, even if they fought to the point of bloodshed in the future, she would never participate again.

  Deng Mu Shan and others left with gloomy faces, Wen Qing ignored Xu Yao and Ning Xiao Ying's curiosity, didn't say anything and let them go home first, but he himself got into Zuo Yu Xi's car. As soon as he sat down, his ears were pinched, and he heard Zuo Yu Xi's sweet voice by his ear, smelling the fragrance on her body, suddenly becoming lazy.

  "Alright, just now you actually called me Director Zuo, and before we've even crossed the river, you're already demolishing the bridge. Wen Qian, classmate, are you really that afraid of those two female classmates finding out about our relationship?"

  If someone else had heard this, they would have been scared to death. However, Wen Jie had been teased by Zuo Yu Xi since the day he met her and his immunity had increased exponentially. He laughed and said: "Sister, don't worry too much, those two are just ordinary friends, not like us..." But it seemed that Zuo Yu Xi didn't recognize Xu Yao, and Xu Fu Yan's behavior as a secretary was really speechless.

  Wen Cheng was about to speak when Zuo Yuxi raised her hand and brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, revealing a smooth right arm that flashed before his eyes. The delicate white skin beneath seemed to hint at fine blood vessels, and for some reason, he recalled the stunning scene after the bath towel slipped off that day. His heart skipped a beat, but the teasing words got stuck in his throat.

  "What's our relationship?"

  Zuo Yu Xi casually asked, after a moment of silence without hearing Wen Qian's response, turned her head to see him staring blankly at herself, his mind seemingly thinking of something, his face slightly red, and quickly changed the subject: "Did Mu Shan give you trouble again?"

  Wen Cheng smiled wryly and told everything, Zuo Yuxi praised: "Great, at a young age, you are brave enough to fight for love, not only bullying others, but also finding two girlfriends!"

  "Hey, don't go too far..."

  The car stopped near the 7th courtyard of the municipal party committee. Wen Ze sat in the car without getting out, waiting for Zuo Yu Xi to speak up.

  "That thing has been investigated."

  After a long time, Zuo Yuxi finally spoke up. In fact, Wen Yan had known that she was troubled since they first met and guessed it must be related to the night of rebirth. After all, after so many days, if no clues could be found, Zuo Yuxi should give up her idea of revenge early on.

  Wenhan actually didn't plan to get involved too deeply, the last time he warned her was already being overly kind, but thinking back to the few times they had contact, in the end he couldn't bear to leave.

  "That green-skinned guy nicknamed Pig Waist, from a young age his parents had passed away, and he relied on a 16-year-old sister for survival. On the road, he was a reckless master with quite a reputation. Last time you mentioned there was a problem, I immediately sent someone to find him, but after searching all over Qingzhou, we couldn't find him." Zuo Yuxi leaned back in his chair, his calm tone as if telling someone else's story: "Hmph, it's good that it turned out this way. A person with crippled legs can disappear so thoroughly, proving what you said was true. That matter really was a conspiracy."

  "Jiangdong Province is too big, so it took some time. The other day, the people below used a little trick and finally forced out the pig waist. I didn't ask anything, and he confessed. However, he didn't know much either, and before taking action, he even didn't know who that woman was... Of course, even if it were me, he would definitely do it..."

  Wen Cheng didn't want to know what little trick she was talking about, nor did he want to ask Zhu Yao why he would definitely do that thing. Many things are better left unknown than known. Although he was young in years, he was no longer young at heart.

  He was shocked by the ability shown by Zuo Yu Xi, what's so big about Jiangdong Province that it took some time? How many connections did she use to catch Zhuo Yao so easily?

  "I then focused on investigating his social relationships and abnormal behavior during that period, and followed the trail to find a person. Although there is no evidence to confirm it, I guess the possibility is over 70%."

  After a moment of warm and silent contemplation, she quietly asked: "Who is it?"
