<h4>Chapter 866: Chapter 866: Moans in the Academic Building</h4>


    In the most luxurious restaurant in the county town, Lin Fan and Zhao Qianyue were happily eating tomahawk steaks.


    Having a Western meal in a ce like this is already considered quite extravagant. After all, as a county town rich in minerals, there are naturally many miners. This kind of job, where they constantly tango with death, makes them prefer to indulge in roadside stalls before heading to Fireworks Alley for some fun. That’s their idea of happiness.


    "Thanks for the lunch, County Magistrate. Remember to go with me tomorrow to my mom’s ce. It’s a rare invitation. Even my dad can’t enter the mountain gate without her invitation."


    Wiping her mouth, Zhao Qianyue smiled at Lin Fan. Being invited by Qin Yeshu was already a symbol of status.


    "Alright, I still don’t know what to buy for the mother-inw."


    Lin Fan had a certain reverence for this woman who could read his mind. He still couldn’t figure out why she invited him over.


    "Oh, stop it, be serious."


    Zhao Qianyue rolled her eyes and said, "My mom doesn’tck anything, but since we’re going to a temple, buying five kinds of fresh fruits to offer to the deities is enough. As for bathing and changing clothes, and abstaining from meat and sex, it might not work for you."


    "Bathing and changing clothes are fine, but I’ll pass on abstaining from meat and sex. At this moment, I’m a staunch atheist."


    Lin Fanughed, taking Zhao Qianyue’s hand and said, "So where is the youngdy off to?"


    "I’m going to work, of course. Did you really think I do nothing all day? I have lots of things to keep busy with."


    With her arm linked to Lin Fan’s, they walked out like a couple.


    "You have a job!"


    Lin Fan was a bit surprised to hear Zhao Qianyue’s words, and she pouted, "Of course! That over there is my workce."


    Following the direction of Zhao Qianyue’s finger, Lin Fan saw her pointing at a few tall buildings, which piqued his curiosity: "Don’t tell me thosepanies belong to you?"


    "Thesepanies aren’t mine, but the buildings belong to my family, and I have to go collect the rent. Just thinking about it annoys me."


    Zhao Qianyue pouted and said, "Originally, I let them pay monthly, directly into the bank ount. But my dad was worried I’d be bored, so he told them I had toe in person to collect it. Although it’s only once every three months, making a round every quarter is tiring. You can’t understand the hardships of andy like me."


    "Right, right, and I definitely can’t rte to the hardship of counting money until your hands cramp."


    Lin Fan shrugged his shoulders; this little girl was clearly unting her wealth.


    "That’s right, it’s hard. Fortunately, I don’t have to count money, just count how many zeros are in the bank ount. Ah, living for over twenty years and not having a credit card to overdraw from, having too much cash to spend, it’s really annoying!"


    Zhao Qianyue was clearly doing it on purpose. As they joked andughed, they reached the car. After a goodbye kiss, he watched her skip towards the tall building. Besides shaking his head helplessly, what other emotions could Lin Fan feel?


    In the afternoon, he wasn’t nning to return to the office. As long as he maintained his residence, it was enough. There was no need to sit there every day. Now, knowing Wang Cangdong, who had Huo Ben behind him, was going to make a move on him, he had to quickly consolidate some easily affected forces, as Huo Ben was ruthless. The most likely target was, of course, the vocational girls’ high school.


    He had invested a lot of effort supporting it and couldn’t let these activations ruin it. So, Lin Fan drove straight to the vocational girls’ high school. With the arrival of the Land Rover at the school gate, the security remained strict, but seeing Lin Fan arrive, they immediately opened the barrier, showing it was arranged by Cui Ronglian.


    As the Land Rover parked under the office building, before Lin Fan could get out, Cui Ronglian hurriedly came out of the building.


    She was wearing a fitted skirt, no longer messy as before, and the eyes behind her gold-rimmed sses gleamed with excitement.


    "County Magistrate Lin, you’vee to inspect."


    "It’s not so grand, just taking a casual look around. It looks pretty good now!"


    Lin Fan nced at the teaching building. In the bright, spacious ssrooms, girls in school uniforms were studying hard. Although there were vocational ns, they were only for those with poor academic performance. Among these students, at least half were from poor families but still well-behaved and good students. Their dream was to get into college and escape the mountains.


    "The children eat well, sleep soundly, and study with more enthusiasm. The school’s meals have be much richer, with improved nutrition. They rarely get sick now."


    Apanying Lin Fan for a walk around the teaching building, all the dozens of new teachers were already in ce, and the girls’ high school had temporarily entered a normal track. Just like Cui Ronglian, kneeling in front of the chair and devouring Lin Fan’s iron pestle, everyone found something they should be doing.


    Seeing Cui Ronglian greedily sucking the iron pestle, Lin Fan joked, "I see they’ve been well-nourished, and here you are starving!"
