<h4>Chapter 456: Chapter 455, Celebrated Too Soon</h4>


    Xu Wendong looked at her, utterly shocked.


    This was too damn direct!


    So direct that even he, as a big man, found it hard to handle.


    He took a deep breath.


    Xu Wendong said, "Miss Chen, as the old saying goes, a gracefuldy is a gentleman. As long as it’s a normal man, seeing a beautiful woman would make one fantasize. I believe this is human nature."


    "I admit you are very tempting, but that doesn’t mean I have to have a rtionship with you."


    Xu Wendong considered himself an old lecher, but the women he had rtionships with were all proper married women.


    To put it colloquially, healthy.


    As for Chen Qiqi...


    She started sex education at twelve and was so open. Faced with such a woman, Xu Wendong was somewhat intimidated.


    Moreover, he didn’t want to do anything more to hurt Bai Yu.


    He was particrly annoyed, though, about one thing: Why did Bai Yu tell Chen Qiqi about his prowess?


    Could it be that the two of them were really so close they shared everything?


    Chen Qiqi was clearly dissatisfied with Xu Wendong’s response: "We only entered each other’s bodies, not each other’s lives. Why do you have so many concerns?"


    Xu Wendong looked resentful: "Do you still want me to help cure your illness?"


    "Thene on!" Chen Qiqiy back on the bed again, feeling a bit frustrated but understanding that some things couldn’t be rushed.


    As for Xu Wendong...


    She had to find a chance to conquer him.


    ------


    At the county government courtyard.


    Meng Changhai was sitting in his office, reading a newspaper and drinking tea, in a great mood.


    Although the construction site explosion the other night resulted in only five minor injuries, its impact was extremely negative. Both the city and province took the matter very seriously.


    They even sent a task force to Lianyun.


    Now, Liu Junjiang was being questioned by the task force.


    And he was getting to experience the feeling of holding all the power.


    It felt really good!


    Of course, if he could maintain this power, it would be a great thing for him.


    As he was dreaming about the future,


    the secretary rushed in, not even bothering to knock, which made Meng Changhai quite displeased: "Don’t you know how to knock?"


    Secretary Xiao Wang, full of anxiety: "Leader, someone from the city’s organization department is here!"


    "Why is someone from the organization department here?" Meng Changhai’s face instantly changed.


    Generally speaking, visits from the organization department involved appointments to new posts, indicating that someone was going to be promoted.


    At this moment,


    two middle-aged men in ck suits appeared at the door of Meng Changhai’s office.


    Seeing this, Meng Changhai quickly went to greet them enthusiastically, "Head Fan, what brings you here? Please have a seat, have a seat, Xiao Wang, make tea!"


    Head Fan was invited to the sofa, smiled, and said, "County Chief Meng, I’m here about your job transfer!"


    "My job transfer?" Meng Changhai was taken aback.


    At that moment,


    his mind fantasized about many things.


    For example, recing Liu Junjiang as the county party secretary of Lianyun County.


    But as soon as this idea appeared, he dismissed it.


    Even though there was a mishap in Liu Junjiang’s work and he’s undergoing investigation, his quick response to the explosion avoided significant casualties and property loss.


    It’s impossible for the higher-ups to remove him.


    So, he couldn’t rece Liu Junjiang and be the county party secretary.


    Head Fan said, "Last month, Director Yuan of the city power supply bureau died on the job due to illness. Now the power supply bureau is leaderless, and the city has been searching for a suitable person to take over Director Yuan’s work."


    "This job was originally for Comrade Liu Junjiang, but you know his current situation. He’s not fit to take that job."


    "So, after a unanimous discussion in the organization department, it’s been decided that you, Comrade Meng Changhai, will seed Director Yuan as the director of the power supply bureau."


    These simple words were like a bolt from the blue, leaving Meng Changhai momentarily stunned.


    He had always longed for a promotion.


    But.


    The power supply bureau wasn’t exactly a good ce!


    Even as the head of the city power supply bureau, it didn’tpare to his current power.


    "County Chief Meng, please hand over your current duties and report to the city power supply bureau as soon as possible!" Head Fan left these words and then turned and left Meng Changhai’s office.


    "Why!"


    "Why!"


    "Why me?"


    After Head Fan left, Meng Changhai went mad, smashing things in the office, a spiteful expression on his face. He really didn’t want to go to the city power supply bureau.


    But.


    With the organization department already here to talk, he had no choice!


    "Why did that explosion have to happen at this critical moment?" Meng Changhai clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with intense unwillingness.


    Because he knew.


    If it weren’t for the explosion, it would have been Liu Junjiang going to the city, not him, Meng Changhai!


    He thought Liu Junjiang hadnded in big trouble.


    But who could have thought he would turn misfortune into a blessing?


    Was this really all just a coincidence?


    ------


    On the other side.


    Xu Wendong finished treating Chen Qiqi. By now, he was drenched in sweat, feeling a strong sense of weakness.


    After all, she was suffering from breast cancer.


    Even though he was a cultivator, he had to stay highly focused throughout the treatment, fearing any ident that might cause her cancer cells to spread.


    "You still need three more massages for your illness. In the meantime, you must take some herbal medicine." Xu Wendong found some paper and a pen, immediately writing a prescription, including the brewing process.


    Chen Qiqi fixed her clothes, her face full of a blush as she looked at him: "You saved my life. How can I thank you?"


    Xu Wendong wiped the sweat from his face: "If you want to thank, thank Bai Yu!" He said, rising to head to the bathroom, nning to wash his face and rx.


    But for some reason, the moment he turned on the tap, he instinctively put his hand to his nose, sniffing at the scent.


    A faint body fragrance entered his nostrils, a scent Xu Wendong had never smelled before.


    He didn’t know how to describe this scent.


    He could only attribute it to Chen Qiqi being biracial.


    "Does it smell good?"


    Suddenly,


    a gentle voice sounded, startling Xu Wendong.


    Xu Wendong, embarrassed, wished he could find a hole to crawl into: "My nose just itched a bit, and I wanted to scratch it, that’s all!"


    Chen Qiqi, in a red spaghetti strap dress, leaned against the bathroom door frame, a mysterious smile on her face: "I mentioned before, I studied psychology!"


    Xu Wendong hurriedly washed his face, having no courage to respond to Chen Qiqi, then he picked up a towel and wiped his face.


    "Miss Chen, I have something to do, I’lle back to treat you in a couple of days!" Xu Wendong left a message and left Chen Qiqi’s home in haste.


    Faced with this stunning beauty, what else could Xu Wendong do besides escape?


    After Xu Wendong left, Chen Qiqi hesitated for a moment and then took out her phone to dial Bai Yu’s number...
