37: Chapter 37 Wake-up Service

What Sun Ning trusted most was that Secretary Xue Hongtao truly wanted the best for Mishui Township.

This was something he had witnessed in his previous life.

It was just that, being a rough-around-the-edges man, he found local economic work a bit challenging.

Now that Sun Ning had arrived and was gradually changing Mishui Township, it brought him a great sense of relief.

Therefore, he chose to stand on Sun Ning's side to protect these hard-won results.

Having received the assurance, Sun Ning stopped worrying about the special funds and instead asked Secretary Xue Hongtao, "Party Secretary, it's time for us to go report to the County Party Committee and the County Government."

"What about the investors?"

"They came specifically for Mishui Township."

Hearing Sun Ning speak with such confidence, Secretary Xue Hongtao couldn't help but recall those two lovely faces.

He gave Sun Ning an ambiguous smile and said, "You kid, you're quite the lucky one with the ladies!"

Looking at the old man teasing him in front of him, Sun Ning felt a warmth in his heart; he had earned his approval.

He had been in Mishui Township for two months, and he could consider himself firmly established.

As for small-time villains like Li Jincai, Sun Ning didn't take them to heart at all.

Given their greedy nature, combined with the large amount of capital about to flow into Mishui Township, it was only a matter of time before they got into trouble.

Sun Ning would wait and see!

After the two agreed to meet in the county seat tomorrow, Sun Ning left the office of the Party Secretary.

The two had already divided the work: the Party Secretary would deal with the County Party Committee Secretary, and the Township Head would deal with the County Head.

The purpose of reporting their work was also to ask for money and policy support.

Although Mishui Township currently had no plans to establish an industrial cluster, even if several factories were located right by the national highway.

Still, the basic "three supplies and one leveling" needed to be taken care of.

Although this wasn't a large sum of money, it was not something the Township Government's budget could afford.

Where would the money come from?

It could only come from county budget allocations.

As for whether the County Party Committee and the County Government would pressure Mishui Township to hand over the investors, Sun Ning was not worried at all.

Not to mention that the achievements of Mishui Township also represented the achievements of the County Party Committee and the County Government.

Furthermore, investors were not something the local government could control.

If Gongfan County lost these Hong Kong investors, it wouldn't just be Secretary Wang Shengli who would suffer the consequences.

The higher-level government would begin to doubt the overall planning ability of County Party Committee Secretary Vice Mayor Wang Pingan.

Therefore, one might question whether the officials governing a region have selfish motives or a lack of tolerance, but one cannot question their vision.

Those who could climb to that position were all battle-hardened.

Having been away from Mishui Township for a few days, Liaison Xiao Yuan had brought over a pile of documents that needed processing.

Some of these were various tasks assigned from above, mostly just formalistic work.

Because there were so many things to do, and he was fully immersed in them, Sun Ning lost track of time.

By the time he finished processing them, there was almost no one left in the Township Government courtyard.

He checked the time; he had been working overtime for over an hour.

Winter nights fell early, and it was already dark by this time.

Sun Ning hurried a few steps and returned to the room he was renting.

When he opened the door, he was stunned by the scene on the bed.

Not only were the two beauties dressed quite thinly, but their sleeping postures were also rather unrefined.

Sun Ning looked up at the corner; an air conditioner was running.

Besides that, the whole room had changed completely.

A sofa, a proper desk, and bookshelves had all been arranged.

Fortunately, the space in rural self-built houses was quite large, enough to accommodate so many things.

That was why it didn't look so crowded.

Seeing this, Sun Ning couldn't help but sigh; Shang Rou had finally taken action on this room.

He looked at the two people sleeping soundly on the bed, checked the time again, and chose not to disturb them.

Looking at the room's arrangement, the two of them must have been exhausted in the afternoon.

He walked over to the bookshelf, picked up a copy of Zizhi Tongjian, and started reading.

Sun Ning sat in the chair and began to read intently.

History books were always like this; every time you read them, you gained new insights.

After a while, seeing that the two women still showed no signs of waking up, he had no choice but to go buy some cooked food.

This room didn't have a kitchen; if he wanted to cook, he would have to borrow the old couple's stove.

People in the countryside went to bed early in winter, and he didn't want to disturb the elderly couple.

So, while it wasn't too late, he hurriedly went out to buy some food.

There was one more thing that bothered him: how to sleep at night.

It was winter, so sleeping on the floor wasn't realistic, and there was no guesthouse in the township.

He thought about crashing in the duty room of the government courtyard for the night, but he was afraid of gossip.

After thinking about it, he decided to return to Gongfan County after eating.

By the time Sun Ning returned with the food, the two women still showed no signs of waking up.

In desperation, Sun Ning had no choice but to enforce "family law" and give each of them a slap on their most fleshy part.

As for the fact that Zhao Xue wasn't part of his family yet, he automatically ignored that issue.

Shang Rou was fine; her self-control was relatively strong. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and woke up.

But Zhao Xue still refused to get out of bed, acting like a spoiled brat.

"Ugh, I'm so sleepy, I'm not getting up!"

It was obvious that she had slept too soundly and had her day and night mixed up!

"Stinky little brother, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and serve the 'family law'; isn't that what you like best? Xue'er's is much fuller than mine, and quite a bit perkier too."

The more Shang Rou acted like this, the less Sun Ning dared to do it.

He could only smile sheepishly and say, "Get up and eat."

This voice was only enough to wake up Shang Rou, who was already awake.

Shang Rou gave Sun Ning a seductive look and muttered, "Coward!"

Then, looking at Sun Ning provocatively, she began to slap her, pat, pat, pat, under his envious, jealous, and hateful gaze.

Zhao Xue's first reaction was to cover her head with the quilt, putting up a spoiled, rebellious struggle.

After Shang Rou's wake-up service, Zhao Xue finally woke up completely.

Seeing that it was Shang Rou waking her up, she exclaimed, "Why is it you?"

"What? Are you disappointed that it wasn't the stinky little brother waking you up?"

Facing Shang Rou's teasing, Zhao Xue shyly counterattacked.

For a moment, the room was filled with uncontrollable spring scenery!

Today's dinner was exceptionally simple; it was all cooked food and sesame cakes that Sun Ning had bought outside.

Fortunately, both women were from the North, and they quite liked the feeling of eating meat in big bites.

After simply cleaning up the leftovers, Sun Ning took the initiative to pick up the two women's bags.

"Let's go, we're going to stay at Wenxin Residential Compound."

"Not going, I'm sleepy!"

Hearing that Sun Ning was leaving, Zhao Xue immediately started acting like a rascal, pouncing back onto the bed.

Sun Ning couldn't do anything about Zhao Xue and could only look at Shang Rou with pleading eyes.

Shang Rou just shrugged, indicating that she was powerless to help.

Sun Ning steeled his heart, picked up Shang Rou, and started walking out, shouting to Zhao Xue, "You can sleep here by yourself, we're going back!"

Shang Rou buried her head in Sun Ning's shoulder and said, "Stinky little brother, even when given the chance, you're useless!"

"Stop messing around, there are so many eyes watching, how could we stay?"

Sun Ning explained casually, but then felt a pain in his waist.

He knew he had said the wrong thing again; this woman was clearly jealous.

Sometimes Sun Ning really couldn't understand what Shang Rou was thinking.

She wanted to push him away and let him do whatever he wanted.

But sometimes she acted like she was deeply jealous.

"Hey, you two, that's enough! Are you going to leave me to spend the night alone again today?"

Saying this, she ran toward the Land Rover.
