129: Chen Haotian with a childlike voice

Time flowed by like water; June was the hottest season of the year.

Lin Zifeng had just seen Wei Ting, who had come to report to him, out of his Office when he saw Wan Guoliang appear in the corridor.

Wei Ting greeted Wan Guoliang, and knowing that he was there to see Lin Zifeng, she quickly left.

Lin Zifeng walked towards Wan Guoliang, shaking his hand while smiling, and said, "Secretary, why did you come over? If there is any work to arrange, you could just call, and I would go to your Office."

"There is no need to be so polite between us, County Magistrate. I just happened to have a moment of leisure today, so I thought I would come to your Office for a sit-down and, by the way, notify you of an instruction from the superiors," Wan Guoliang said with a chuckle.

"Secretary, please come in. Zhongyu, hurry and make some tea."

The two entered the Office one after the other. After Wang Zhongyu poured the water and left, Wan Guoliang spoke again, "County Magistrate, I just received a notice issued by the Municipal Party Committee. The notice contains only one item: it requires you to attend a three-month training class for Division Level Cadres held by the Provincial Party School starting in a week."

"This Cadre training class is very different from those in the past; it is conducted completely detached from work and is a high-level Advanced-Study Class."

"The students are all elite and outstanding Cadres from various departments across the province. In our entire Chunhua City, including you, only two people are participating."

"Most of the students come from various departments at the Provincial Level and relatively developed Prefecture-level Cities. Being able to become a student in this training class in itself represents being outstanding. It will definitely leave a glorious page on your resume. County Magistrate, I am genuinely envious of you!"

Hearing the news brought by Wan Guoliang, Lin Zifeng felt a surge of joy and smiled, "Secretary, you have watched me grow up. I have learned a lot from you. Working with an elder who is both a mentor and a friend like you, I have not only learned a great deal but also received your protection."

"Take the wildfire in Gangou Township last year, for example! Some people were stirring up trouble, deliberately spreading rumors that I was engaging in political grandstanding, wanting to use the natural disaster to gain benefits. Those people with ulterior motives wanted to use this to slander and suppress me, to completely ruin my reputation."

"It was you and the then County Magistrate, County Magistrate Qian, who disciplined several Cadres who spread the rumors and decisively acted to stop the spread and dissemination of the rumors. Otherwise, let alone this opportunity for advanced study, if it had been left to develop, I wouldn't even be able to talk about serving as County Magistrate; I might not even have been able to keep my position as Deputy Secretary."

Seeing the sincere look on Lin Zifeng's face, Wan Guoliang felt very gratified. He couldn't help but think that his young partner was a grateful person, actually keeping this matter in his heart all this time.

That Wu Dexing really brought it upon himself; even after being kicked to the County Disabled Persons' Federation, he wouldn't behave. In order to retaliate against Lin Zifeng, he really stopped at nothing! He was actually stupid enough to spend money to bribe people to spread rumors.

Because of this matter, it not only exposed his large amounts of funds with unknown sources, sending himself to prison, but also, by following the trail, implicated the former Executive Vice Mayor, who later served as Vice Chairman of the Municipal CPPCC, Jiang Donghai. That fool Wu Dexing tried to harm others but ended up harming himself; he absolutely deserved it.

Lin Zifeng and Wan Guoliang chatted happily for over two hours. When it was lunchtime, the two of them walked out of the Office laughing and headed towards the Government Canteen together. Their secretaries followed behind them, and seeing the two of them so harmonious, both secretaries were happy for them.

At noon, Lin Zifeng and Wan Guoliang had lunch together. During lunch, Wan Guoliang instructed him to make some preparations in advance, preferably arriving at the provincial capital a bit earlier so as not to miss the registration time.

Lin Zifeng indicated that he would use the three days before the weekend to handle all the work on hand and set off for the provincial capital over the weekend. He had a reason for planning this; he wanted to take advantage of the two days of the weekend before registering at the Provincial Party School to have some quality time alone with Chen Yuxi.

They hadn't seen each other for over a month. The last time they met was during May Day. Chen Yuqing had already returned to the country, so The two sisters had come to Yushu County together.

With Chen Yuqing around, the two of them had to be very careful when they met in private, and they had only found two opportunities. Now that there was such a good opportunity, how could he let it pass!

Chen Yuqing had secretly bought a four-bedroom, two-living-room apartment near her company and hired two Nannies to take care of the child, who was already a year and a half old.

Chen Yuqing used her connections to register the Little fellow's household and handled adoption procedures to cover up the truth. She named the Little fellow Chen Haotian. Now, little Haotian could run around everywhere and could already speak coherently; he was milky-voiced and very cute.

Every day after work, Chen Yuqing would return home immediately to be by the Little fellow's side. If there was no important work, she would stay at home to accompany the child, only going to the company three or four days a week. Unless there was a particularly important occasion, she no longer went out for social engagements.

Chen Yuxi's affection for little Haotian was no less than Chen Yuqing's. She would stay here two days a week, telling her parents that she was living with her sister and that they could look after each other.

Chen Yuqing had another property elsewhere, a three-bedroom apartment. She had bought that apartment and transferred it to Chen Yuxi. Chen Yuqing didn't go there to live anymore, but Chen Yuxi would occasionally go to stay for a night, so it was full of traces of life.

Therefore, when Li Jing occasionally visited, she did not suspect anything, thinking that her two daughters both lived there when they didn't go home! She did not know about Chen Yuqing's other property and the child.

The two sisters also took time to go home at different times each week. Chen Yuanhua and his wife felt that the children were grown up and had their own lifestyles, so they didn't notice anything.

After getting off work today, The two sisters returned to this four-bedroom apartment together. Seeing The two sisters open the door and walk in, little Haotian, who was playing with toys, dropped his toys and ran towards them. As he ran, he called out in a milky voice, "Mom, Auntie."

The Nanny hurriedly called out from behind, "Slow down, slow down, be careful not to fall."

Chen Yuqing walked over, picked up the Little fellow, and kissed his smooth, delicate, creamy little face three times in a row before saying, "Son, did you miss Mom?"

"I missed Mom, and I also missed Auntie," the Little fellow said in a milky voice.

"Little Haotian is such a good boy. Come, let Auntie give you a hug. I have to go to Grandpa and Grandma's house in a while, so I can't accompany little Haotian tonight." As Chen Yuxi spoke, she took the Little fellow from Chen Yuqing's arms, kissed him on the face, and then said, "Sister, I'll play with little Haotian for a while, and then I'll go home."
