<h4>Chapter 612: Chapter 611, Wishes Fulfilled</h4>
City nning Bureau.
Xu Wendong sat at his desk, gazing at the [Haicheng Annals], which recorded many events of Haicheng, traceable back to the Warring States period.
It even documented Xu Fu’s voyage to the east, saying he set sail from Haicheng after selecting many robust men and sailors here.
Of course.
Xu Wendong was not interested in these.
What truly intrigued him were Peni Ind, Fangzhang Ind, and Yingzhou Ind.
These were the legendary three Immortal inds from the Pre-Qin myths, said to be inhabited by immortals.
And Haicheng was not far from these three inds.
"I can find time to go out to sea and try my luck!" Xu Wendong’s lips curled slightly. If he could find traces of immortals here, it would be an enormous opportunity.
Knock, knock, knock!
"Come in!" Xu Wendong closed the book in his hands.
Liu Shimei, wearing a ck suit and swaying her alluring, snake-like waist, walked in. Her awe-inspiring development in front caused quite a stir when she moved, attracting considerable attention.
Seeing Xu Wendong’s predatory gaze, Liu Shimei felt a flutter in her heart, and a charming blush appeared on her face.
Because.
In a previous chat with her close friend, they talked about grapes, peaches, and abalone.
Initially, she just considered these things as ingredients.
But after the conversation, she realized that these three items could be food or something else entirely.
It was then she understood.
What Xu Wendong wanted wasn’t just grapes, peaches, and abalone.
He wanted her!
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have bought the bed she liked.
Her husband’s indifference made her entertain the idea of an affair with Xu Wendong, so seeing his predatory gaze, she let her imagination run wild.
However, she reminded herself it was work hours and quickly said, "Boss, earlier, Director Jia from the Land Administration Bureau called, wanting to invite you to dinner and, by the way, seek your advice on some work matters."
"Okay, arrange it as you see fit!" Xu Wendong agreed.
He knew Director Jia from the Land Administration Bureau wouldn’t invite him to dinner for no reason.
It was likely rted to the Hu Family.
After all, Hu Jiaqi had someone pour manure on his car, and his family would undoubtedly find out about it.
If that happened, they would surely apologize to him.
Director Jia was the intermediary.
At 6:30 p.m.
Zhang Jin drove to a small fishing vige by the sea.
The vige wasn’trge, but it consisted entirely of small, single-family vis that looked exquisite.
When the Red g car stopped, Director Jia Qinglin from the Land Administration Bureau, who was waiting there, warmly stepped forward, opened the car door, and invited Xu Wendong into the vi.
This was a private restaurant, which generally did not serve the public.
Only a few dignitaries and nobles could frequent here.
"Brother Zhang, after parking the car,e over too!" Xu Wendong said to Zhang Jin.
Ordinarily, Zhang Jin would not be eligible to attend this asion.
But Xu Wendong had his reasons.
"Director Xu, do you have a history with that driver?" Jia Qinglin curiously asked, then led him into a medium-sized private room in the vi.
"There is indeed some history!" Xu Wendong smiled. "Brother Zhang is Sister Shimei’s husband. They both work at the City nning Bureau. And Sister Shimei is also my cousin’s ssmate."
Jia Qinglin suddenly realized.
However, a big question mark appeared in his mind.
Why did Xu Wendong disclose this to him?
Could it be that he had other intentions?
Yes.
It had to be that way.
The most taboo thing in officialdom was having rtives.
Yet, Xu Wendong openly mentioned his rtionship with Zhang Jin, meaning he must have other intentions.
After Xu Wendong sat down.
Jia Qinglin asked the server for the menu, intending to let Xu Wendong order.
Xu Wendong waved his hand, "Director Jia, go ahead. Remember, don’t be extravagant and wasteful!"
Jia Qinglin quickly agreed, then handed the menu to the server, asking for some specialty dishes and ordered two bottles of Maotai.
While waiting for the dishes, Jia Qinglin looked towards Zhang Jin and politely asked, "Brother Zhang, how long have you been working at the City nning Bureau?"
Zhang Jin replied nervously, "Six years."
Jia Qinglin nodded slightly, then said, "That’s not a short time! Have you ever thought about taking charge of something on your own?"
After speaking, he subtly nced at Xu Wendong from the corner of his eye.
Seeing no dissatisfaction, he rxed.
At the same time.
His previous spection was confirmed.
Xu Wendong had ideas about Zhang Jining in.
Once this matter was handled well, and the boss was pleased, future interactions would be much smoother!
Jia Qinglin’s words made Zhang Jin’s heart race. He didn’t expect to be asked this and nervously nced at Xu Wendong, as if seeking his opinion.
"Say whatever you want to say!" Xu Wendong smiled and sipped his tea.
Zhang Jin, nervous, said, "I also want to take charge of something, but I always feel my abilities are insufficient, and I fear I can’tmand respect."
Jia Qinglin shook his head, "Abilities are honed at the grassroots level. Yes, flowers in a greenhouse are beautiful and delicate but cannot withstand wind and rain."
Zhang Jin lowered his head in shame.
He had been driving for the boss for years, losing all ambition and drive, even considering retiring as a driver.
Until Xu Wendong’s arrival reawakened his ambition.
Jia Qinglin continued, "If you really want to train yourself, I have a decent position here. I just don’t know if you want to go to the grassroots level to experience it."
Zhang Jin took a deep breath, "If possible, I want to try!"
Jia Qinglin nodded, "Do you know Xilian Town?"
Zhang Jin: "Isn’t that the most western town of Haicheng?"
After all, working at the City nning Bureau, he was familiar with Haicheng’s towns and districts.
However.
Xilian Town was over four hours’ drive from Haicheng, on the far west, while Haicheng was at the easternmost point.
Jia Qinglin: "Yes, Xilian Town is the most western town in Haicheng, with over 300,000 residents and more than sixty natural viges."
"The director of the Xilian Town Land Administration suddenly had a heart attack and died at his post, and now the position is vacant."
"Are you interested in going there for training?"
Zhang Jin excitedly stood up, "Director Jia, are you kidding? I... Can I really go there for training?"
Although the director level of the Land Administration was not high, it was an idle position with more than ten subordinates.
The benefits and treatment were quite good.
More importantly...
It was also an [official position].
Jia Qinglinughed, "In front of Director Xu, how could I joke about that?"
"Thank you for your appreciation, Director Jia. I will certainly work hard and not disappoint your expectations!" Zhang Jin was extremely excited, knowing that all this was due to Xu Wendong, and was immensely grateful.
Liu Shimei, on the side, also let her imagination run wild.
If her husband went to Xilian Town, wouldn’t that mean she could live unashamedly with Xu Wendong?
