Chapter 28 The Old Rogue

  Liu Kezhang solemnly called Han Qin and Zhang Xin to his office, looked at the beautiful Zhang Xin, swallowed his saliva and said: "According to the progress of work, make some personnel adjustments. The day before yesterday, Xiao Ding and Xiao Liu went to visit Secretary Huang, but were rejected. Considering that Comrade Zhang Xin is a female comrade, with a bright personality, enthusiastic and meticulous work, you two go to Secretary Huang's residence again, maybe there will be unexpected results!"

  Before Han Qin could speak, Zhang Xin was already fed up and shouted in a bad temper: "Liu Ke, you're too bureaucratic! This is like whipping a fast cow! Why should we be the ones to gnaw on bones that others can't chew?"

  Zhang Xin left Liu Jian speechless with just one sentence. It's reasonable to let Zhang Xin go, as Huang Lao, the old secretary, was promoted from a team cadre and had been a womanizer since his youth. Rural cadres tend to be more straightforward in their words, calling this "liking long hair." As his official position rose, Huang's hobby gradually became an open secret in the official circle. The same work, no matter how well male comrades did it, was not as good as female comrades, especially those who were relatively pretty! Secretary Huang was like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves to male comrades, but to female comrades, he was like spring rain nourishing things silently and gently.

  As Secretary Huang's retirement, the municipal staff changed, this secret was slowly forgotten and gradually not mentioned. However, Liu Jian, at his age, still remembered Secretary Huang's preferences. With Liu's pockmarked face, Secretary Huang would not have a good impression. How could he not let in Zhang Xin, such a beautiful young woman?

  This is something that heaven and earth know, I know, but cannot let you know!

  However, Liu Ke's secret in his mind couldn't be hidden from Han Qin!

  Seeing Liu Kezhang's embarrassment, Han Qin gave him a step: "Zhang sister, why don't we go and try. Secretary Huang is unwilling to meet even our old comrades from the Science Department, which shows that he has great opinions about our work in the Science Department. We should make more efforts to eliminate this gap!"

  Liu Jian looked at Han Qin with satisfaction, smiled and said: "Little Han is right, you two go try again. If Old Huang still has this attitude, we won't bother him anymore."

  Zhang Xin saw that Han Qin was willing to take over this mess, so he didn't make things difficult for Liu Jian anymore and nodded in agreement.

  As soon as Han Qin and Zhang Xin left the office, Liu Jian suddenly scolded Old Ding: "Little Ding, you're also an old comrade, can't you be more careful with your methods when doing things? Even if you say you're collecting electricity fees, can you still enter Secretary Huang's home?"

  Ding Wen Hui muttered: "Now the electricity bill is all paid through bank transfer, isn't it obvious that this person collecting the electricity bill is a scammer? Maybe they'll even call 110."

  Liu Jianqi shook his head directly. For such a honest person, there was really no way! Liu Xiang tried to please him: "Liu Ke, I and Lao Ding will split up and run separately, we must complete the assigned task."

  Liu Jian nodded, this little Liu may not be very capable at work and doesn't look great, but he's got a good sense of awareness, often coming to the house to move around, whenever there's any physically demanding work, he's always eager to do it. During holidays and festivals, he never forgets to show his respects, which leader wouldn't like such a colleague?

  Look at Ding Wen-hui with his head hung low, Liu Xiang sneered and said: "Of course you'll still do the work, and you'll be the one to take the blame! You go ahead and finish the remaining tasks, I'm going to secretly follow Han Qin and Zhang Xin. As long as I can catch them in the act of their illicit affair, it'll be a great deal that kills two birds with one stone!"

  As soon as he came out of the city hall, it was a well-maintained Red Star Road, with French plane trees on both sides shading the road. Due to traffic control by traffic police at intersections on both sides, this section of the road seemed very quiet. The plainclothes policeman who had checked Han Qin's documents some time ago saw Han Qin coming out of the city hall and greeted him very friendly. Han Qin also nodded to him, only later thinking that this was the plainclothes policeman he had scolded before!

  Han Qin smiled and said: "Zhang sister, shall we take the bus?"

  Zhang Xin's face turned red with anger, and she scolded: "Do you want to see me make a fool of myself? This time we're fighting, Liu Jian dares to say that the expenses are tight, I'll twist his ears off!"

  Han Qin laughed and said, "We're on official business anyway, let Liu Ke assign us a car and that's it!" Zhang Xin hummed softly, "The cars in the government agency are specifically for serving leaders. For big soldiers like us, just the driver's cold face is enough to make us feel inferior. I'd rather take bus 11 than bother those big shots!"

  On Red Star Road, taxis are not allowed to pass through. The two of them had to take a taxi at the next intersection. After looking around and making sure no one was watching, Zhang Xin asked in a low voice: "Han Qin, do you think I'm a very promiscuous woman?"

  Han Qin, you're so brazen! You yourself said it! I've only been at Laogankou for a few days and you've already started seducing me with all sorts of things like spring aphrodisiacs and whatnot. If this isn't being lewd, then Pan Jinlian is a model of virtue!

  Jian Qin didn't say a word, Zhang Xin muttered to herself: "I really can't hold on anymore... you're too much like the person I used to be! This time is enough, I won't hurt you, thank you, sister!"

  Zhang Xin said, and there were actually tears in her eyes! Han Qin's heart moved, this beautiful woman was also hiding some unspeakable secret!

  Found the home of Huang Lao's secretary, Han Qin went and pressed the doorbell. After a minute without any movement, Han Qin knew that the person on the other side of the door must be looking out through the peephole, so he took out a set of keys from his pocket. Zhang Xin hadn't even seen what was happening when Han Qin pushed the door handle and the door opened!

  Standing at the door was a very capable middle-aged woman, who looked like she should be the housekeeper. The housekeeper looked surprised, I didn't open the door, how did it just open? Did I forget to lock it?

  In the living room, an old man with a shiny bald head was sitting on the sofa watching TV. Hearing the noise, he turned his head to look over here. Han Qin pushed Zhang Xin forward and hid behind her!

  Zhang Xin smiled and said: "Old Huang, I've come to see you!"

  There was a beautiful woman standing at the door, and Huang's secretary, who had been dull and expressionless, suddenly lit up! A warm smile immediately floated onto his well-maintained face: "Welcome, welcome. You are..."

  "I'm Zhang Xin from the old department, here to visit our old leader." As she spoke, she had already sat down beside Secretary Huang, inquiring about his well-being with great care and concern. Secretary Huang looked at the beautiful woman before him, listening to her gentle and melodious voice, and was overjoyed. In an instant, his dissatisfaction with the old department seemed to have vanished completely!

  From Zhang Xin and Secretary Huang's conversation, Han Qin felt that this old man's words were a bit incoherent, his thinking seemed to be problematic. He quietly activated the auxiliary system, and a beam of brain waves quietly entered Secretary Huang's brain. The feedback information came back immediately, this old man's brain was gradually shrinking, already in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease!

  Huang Lao's secretary seemed to have seen a long-lost relative, holding Zhang Xin's hand and chattering non-stop. Although Zhang Xin was very disgusted, he endured it and didn't pull his hand back!

  Until Han Qin hinted that Zhang Xin should leave, Zhang Xin finally pulled his small hand out of the old man's hand with force! Old Huang, the secretary, personally escorted the two to the entrance and didn't close the door until they disappeared from view at the top of the stairs.

  As soon as they left the residential area, Han Qin smiled and said: "Zhang Xin, a beauty's face is still very important! Isn't this Secretary Huang very approachable and amiable?"

  Zhang Xin lightly spat and bitterly smiled, saying: "Next time whoever wants to come can come, it's disgusting me to death! This old guy is simply an old rascal!"

  Two people were standing at the entrance of the residential area talking, when a taxi slowly pulled over and prepared to drop off passengers. Han Qin smiled, thinking about hailing a cab, and then one arrived!

  The car door opened and a long-haired beauty bowed down from inside. It was actually Song Wenfei!

  Seeing Han Qin standing at the entrance of the residential area, Song Wenfei exclaimed in surprise: "Han Qin, what are you doing here?"

  Before Han Qin could answer, Song Wenfei had already seen Zhang Xin standing behind him, a beautiful woman with long legs, a wasp waist and a peach blossom face! The lovely face that was smiling just now instantly put on a layer of frost!
