221: This secretary is so unprofessional.

Upon seeing the poised and graceful Chen Yuxi for the first time, Zhao Liqiang, Xu Minghao, and Li Yang all secretly envied Lin Zifeng's good fortune.

They all knew that she was Lin Zifeng's new wife, and her appearance was slightly better than that of the leading actresses; as men, how could they not envy Lin Zifeng?

Lin Zifeng was exceptionally capable, having become their leader at such a young age, and with such a beautiful wife, he was simply a winner in life; it was only natural that they felt envious.

Director Li and the several male leads also brightened at the sight of the dignified and stunningly beautiful Chen Yuxi, while the actresses, who were very confident in their own looks, were also quite surprised.

They had not expected to encounter such a stunning beauty in a remote county.

After learning that Chen Yuxi was the person in charge of the scenic area's investors, Li Li shook her hand, expressed his gratitude for the scenic area's strong support and sponsorship of their Xianxia Drama Film Crew, and asked if she was interested in making a guest appearance in the TV series.

"Thank you for your appreciation and regard, Director Li, but I can only express my regrets."

"First of all, I personally have no interest in this, and furthermore, my husband would not approve, so I can only say I am sorry, Director Li."

Hearing what Chen Yuxi said and knowing she was already married, the few single men who did not know the inside story all felt a bit of pity in their hearts.

How could one not feel regret that such a beauty was already taken at such a young age?

One of the leads, Yang Xiaohu, couldn't help but ask: "Sister Chen, you must be in your twenties, right? Why did you choose to get married so young?"

"Ms. Yang, I am twenty-five years old this year, and I haven't been married for long."

"Perhaps in the eyes of you celebrities, getting married at my age is a bit early; I thought the same before I met my husband."

"But after meeting my husband, I changed my mind."

"Once you meet the love of your life, it is better to marry him sooner; I feel that only in this way will the time of happiness be longer."

Chen Yuxi said with a happy face.

"Ms. Chen, I sincerely wish you happiness in finding the love of your life, but if you wanted to make a guest appearance, your loving husband probably wouldn't object, right?"

Li Li said, somewhat unwilling to give up. He didn't have any twisted motives; he simply appreciated her appearance, and if her stunning face could appear in the TV series, it would become a highlight.

Before Chen Yuxi could refuse again, Wei Ting spoke up first.

"Director Li, you might not know this, but Director Chen is our county magistrate's wife. Due to various considerations, it is not appropriate for Director Chen to appear on screen."

Upon hearing the news from Wei Ting, the people from the film crew were stunned. Li Li quickly said: "It was my rashness, my apologies."

"It is fine, Director Li. When my Spouse and I went traveling, a Scout once suggested that my husband and I become artistes, so this is nothing."

Chen Yuxi took the initiative to help him out of the awkward situation.

Hearing what she said, the few people from the government side thought of Lin Zifeng's appearance and temperament, and all thought to themselves that their young and handsome county magistrate and Director Chen were a match made in heaven, and they really did have the capital to be scouted.

Their county magistrate, even if he didn't go into politics, could have debuted as a star based on his own physical appearance; he was truly a favored son of heaven!

However, the thoughts of the people from the film crew were the exact opposite.

They thought to themselves that these few County Party Standing Committee Members were all deputy section-level Cadres, and the youngest ones were already in their late thirties, approaching forty.

Not to mention the Division-Head Level county magistrate! At the very least, he must be over forty!

Thinking that such a beauty before them was committed to a pot-bellied man in his forties, they felt even more pity, and their gazes toward Chen Yuxi became complex.

The eyes of the several actresses looking at her carried a trace of sympathy and pity.

Just then, Wei Ting's phone chimed with a text message notification. After reading the message, she stood up and said: "Everyone, the Secretary and the county magistrate will be here soon."

"I will go out to welcome them on behalf of everyone; there is no need for everyone else to make a big fuss."

Wang Zhongyu had sent her the notification text; this was something she had communicated with Wang Zhongyu beforehand.

"Director Yang, please accompany Secretary Wei! The Secretary and the county magistrate do not like it when there is a big fuss; too many people would be counterproductive."

Zhao Liqiang, acting as the Deputy Secretary, spoke up.

Yang Ke agreed and stood up to follow Wei Ting.

Only then did Cao Shuang instruct the hotel service staff to start serving food and drinks; although Li Li and the others were in the entertainment industry, they often dealt with officials.

Therefore, they understood the strict hierarchy in officialdom very well, so they were not surprised by Cao Shuang's actions.

At this time, Zhao Liqiang stood up and said with a smile: "County Magistrate Xu, Minister Cao, County Magistrate Li, let's swap seats!"

"Let Director Chen sit inside; she should be sitting next to the county magistrate. Director Chen, come and sit inside."

There was a fawning tone in Zhao Liqiang's voice, and the few agreed and began to swap seats.

Chen Yuxi hurriedly refused, but the few kept persuading her, giving her no reason to decline; helpless, Chen Yuxi had to sit beside the two main seats.

Seeing the scene before them, Li Li and the others couldn't help but think: "A higher official really does crush those below them!"

A dignified deputy secretary of the county party committee, the third-ranking official in the county, actually had to fawn over the county magistrate's wife.

Could this be the reason Chen Yuxi was willing to commit herself to the county magistrate? They all had the same thought in their hearts.

Just then, Wan Guoliang and Lin Zifeng walked over side by side, with Wei Ting and Yang Ke following one step behind them on the left and right.

The two extended their hands on the left and right, guiding the two inside.

Seeing the two appear, everyone stood up one after another. The crew members who had not seen Lin Zifeng and did not know his identity all thought to themselves: "This Yushu County really produces handsome men and beautiful women!"

They didn't expect to meet a stunning beauty like Chen Yuxi, and now they had encountered such a man with excellent looks and temperament.

Seeing Lin Zifeng, the beautiful big eyes of several actresses lit up, and their gazes followed his figure.

They had all guessed that Wan Guoliang was the County Party Secretary of Yushu County, and seeing Lin Zifeng and Wan Guoliang walking side by side, they all became suspicious.

They couldn't help but think to themselves: "Could this young man be the County Party Secretary's Secretary?"

"If that were the case, this Secretary would be too unruly, leaving the County Party Standing Committee Member behind; he's just a useless pretty face!"

"Didn't they say the county magistrate and the Secretary arrived together? Where is the county magistrate?"

Just as they were confused, Zhao Liqiang and the others had already started greeting them: "Secretary, county magistrate, please come in."

Wei Ting had already begun introductions: "Secretary, county magistrate, this is the famous Director Li Li."

"Director Li, this is our County Party Secretary, Comrade Wan Guoliang, and this is our deputy secretary of the county party committee and county magistrate, Comrade Lin Zifeng."
