Chapter Thirteen Reporting

  Lu Xiaotong didn't tell his father that things were looking up at work. He didn't want to say anything until it was confirmed, so as not to get his hopes up for nothing. When he left the house, he just said he was going out to talk to a classmate and left with the 20,000 yuan in his pocket. The reason he hadn't asked his mother for money was that the interest on those 20,000 yuan was over 5,000 yuan, which was enough.

  Arrived at Lang Siyu's house, as it was already considered a familiar guest. Walking to the door, Lang Siyu saw him and came up with a smile, her eyes overflowing with emotion, making people's hearts skip a beat. However, because there were men in the house, she didn't dare to be too excessive, only smiling and greeting, then leading Luo Xiaotong into the house.

  Bai Lao Wan was making a ruckus at the Longhe Hotel until midnight yesterday, and now he's still feeling quite worn out, but because of some business, he got up early and brought Luo Xiaotong into the living room to sit down.

  "Did you bring money?" This was what Bai Laowang was concerned about.

  "Here it is." Luo Xiaotong took out the money and put it on the coffee table, "As Bai Ge said, 200,000."

  Bai Lao Wan glanced at the money and estimated it wouldn't be wrong. He smiled: "Luo Lao Di, to be honest, I think you're an honest person, and I'm a kind-hearted person, so I'll lend you a hand. This money is actually used to bribe others, now when asking people for help, not having money to pave the way won't do."

  Luo Xiaotong thanked him profusely: "Bai Ge, I will never forget you in this lifetime." But in his heart, he was laughing: "Of course, I won't forget you. You slept with my woman and still helped me out. This is a wonderful thing to remember."

  Bai Lao's face turned serious, and he put on a seasoned old-timer's expression: "You're still young, when you get to your work post, be sure to do your duty conscientiously, or it'll all have been for nothing that I went out of my way to help you this time."

  Lu Xiaotong wanted to ask what kind of work it was, but later thought that if others didn't say anything, she'd better not ask either. She soon found out after arriving there.

  Lang Siyu was also on the side, pretending to be a good guy: "Luo brothers, you must remember your white brother. In the future, when you become successful in officialdom, don't forget our benefits."

  Lu Xiaotong looked up at her and thought to himself, "This woman's acting skills are really good. If she had the chance to be in front of the camera, she would definitely be a great actress."

  "Sister, rest assured that I will never forget your great kindness for the rest of my life." As soon as he said this, Luo Xiaotong felt that it was easy to be detected by Bai Laowang, and hurriedly corrected: "I will remember all of you."

  When Luo Xiaotong said that she would never forget for the rest of her life, Lang Siyu was overjoyed. But still tried to cover it up: "You know, that's good."

  While speaking, Bai Laowang put away the money, then went to get dressed and let Luo Xiaotong wait in the yard while he drove into the garage.

  Taking this opportunity, Lang Siyu said in a low voice: "After arriving, don't forget to tell me what job you get."

  Even if she didn't say that, Luo Xiaotong would have told her anyway. But with just those words, the moved Luo Xiaotong really wanted to rush over and hug her.

  "Don't worry, I'll tell you as soon as possible."

  The car drove a long way, and through the rearview mirror, Luo Xiaotong could vaguely see Lang Siyu standing at the door looking out. This woman is too good, I really don't know how to repay her in the future.

  All the way, Bai Lao Wan spoke very little, only when they were about to arrive at the town government building, he reminded Luo Xiaotong: "When we get there, speak less, first meeting with leaders, be polite, whatever task is assigned, don't haggle, what leaders hate most is that their subordinates make conditions for them."

  Lu Xiaotong obediently agreed, not daring to show any disobedience.

  The town government building has been around for decades, an old building. In the past few decades, nearly a hundred town mayors and secretaries have come and gone, but not one of them thought to change its appearance. Who would bother, anyway? The officials are like flowing water, in and out quickly, some staying only half a year, no one knows why they came or left so suddenly.

  Luo Xiaotong also came here, as an ordinary citizen. At that time, everyone here seemed so tall and majestic, eating imperial rations, and in the eyes of ordinary people, they were all officials. When meeting officials, one would lower their head three points, and ordinary people understood this. At that time, when seeing people here, they were very careful, almost bowing.

  Today is different, I am here to report for duty, and I am here to work. Even if you say that I am also eating imperial rations. Everyone has become an official. Thinking of this, Luo Xiaotong's heart couldn't help but feel proud, not arrogant, but also walking with his head held high.

  Arriving at the deputy mayor's office, Bai Laowang knocked on the door and then pushed it open without hearing any response. He didn't greet Luo Xiaotong, but Luo Xiaotong saw him go in and thought he should follow, so he went in too.

  Chen Hua sat on the chair smoking, a hard pack of Zhonghua. He looked at Bai Laowang: "You're here." Then he glanced at Luo Xiaotong, seeming somewhat disdainful, but still managed to squeeze out a smile: "Welcome."

  Luo Xiaotong walked a few steps forward. Bai Laowang seized the opportunity to introduce: "This is Chen Zhenzhang of our town."

  Luo Xiaotong smiled sweetly: "Hello, Mayor Chen."

  Chen Hua waved his hand, leaving Luo Xiaotong bewildered. He himself thought he had said something wrong: "Sorry, sorry, Mayor Chen, I made a mistake."

  Chen Hua said: "You're right".

  Lu Xiaotong said in surprise: "I'm not wrong, why are you waving your hand? Not letting me speak? Then I won't say anything, okay?"

  Lu Xiaotong has no other strengths, just this mouth, talkative. Talkative people sometimes please others, and sometimes make them disgusted. But it's not clear whether Chen Hua likes or dislikes him at this time.

  "I'm not talking about you," Chen Hua said, pointing at Bai Laowang with his hand: "I'm talking about him."

  "What's wrong with me?" asked Bai Laowang.

  "Lao Wan, I'm Vice Mayor Chen. Have you forgotten? I'm the vice one, the actual mayor is on the third floor. If you let her hear you call me 'mayor', won't I be in big trouble? The crime of usurping the throne is punishable by death, and although my head won't roll, my powers might be reduced. Don't say that again in the future."

  "Haha, I'm used to joking around, okay, fine, I'll change, I'll change my ways?"

  Chen Hua ignored him, they were together, nothing serious, already used to it, just in front of others, Chen Hua didn't want to make a fool of himself. He had long had ambitions to be the town head, but the timing wasn't right yet.

  "What's your name?" Chen Hua asked Luo Xiaotong.

  Lu Xiaotong was somewhat puzzled. Hadn't Bai Laowang told him his own name? Thinking about it, there was a possibility that this was normal too. "Lu Xiaotong," he replied very succinctly.

  "This name is not bad, forever young," Chen Hua chuckled and said: "Are you really a university student?"

  "Of course." Luo Xiaotong reached into his pocket and pulled out his graduation certificate and other things, which he had prepared the night before and put in his pocket, afraid that he would forget them in the morning. He thought that although Bai Laowang didn't tell him to bring these things, they were necessary to take.

  However, after putting it on the table, Chen Hua didn't even look at it and said: "In today's society, academic credentials are not important, what we value is ability. As long as you have ability, even a primary school student can be a provincial governor." This statement also makes sense, it seems that this is a pragmatic person, Luo Xiaotong understands in her heart.

  "Lu Xiaotong, you were introduced by Lao Wan, I trust Lao Wan's judgment, he wouldn't let someone without ability work in the government."

  Luo Xiaotong looked at Bai Laowang with gratitude, then turned back to look at Vice Mayor Chen: "I will definitely not disappoint Brother Bai's trust."

  Chen Hua smiled: "I like young people with ideals and a sense of justice. However, once you start working, it's not about disappointing someone, but rather not disappointing the party's training for you."

  Lu Xiaotong nodded: "The mayor's teachings are that I must not disappoint the party's training, and of course, I must not disappoint your trust and Bai Ge's trust."

  Chen Hua said, "Good, with young people like you joining our ranks, our work will definitely be taken to the next level." Saying this, he glanced at Luo Xiaotong's certificate on the table: "Put these away for now, your current job doesn't require them."

  Lu Xiaotong felt strange in her heart, although it was said that work is about ability, but these things should be indispensable.

  "Mayor, these should at least go into my file."

  Chen Hua listened and felt there was a problem, so he looked at Bai Laowang: "You didn't tell him what the job is?"

  Bai Lao Wan nodded: "That's your job, I'm just introducing it, the specific things still need you, the deputy town head, to say. How can I overstep my authority?"

  Chen Hua was somewhat displeased, it was clear that he had to say something difficult. But things had come to this point, and not saying anything wasn't an option either.

  "Lu Xiaotong, the reason I said you don't need these for now is because of your work nature. Currently, there's no shortage of personnel here, only the position of 'more husband' is still vacant, I'm thinking that you can come and do this job first, so it's also close to the government and can adapt to future work earlier."

  Luo Xiaotong heard this and his head buzzed loudly, as if a bomb had exploded in his brain. It took him a long time to come back to himself, looking at Chen Hua with confusion: "Deputy Mayor, you want me to be a night watchman?"

  Chen Hua pretended to be calm: "What's wrong with that? Can't I?"

  Lu Xiaotong naturally wanted to say no way, being a university student and becoming a concubine? That's ridiculous! But the words couldn't be said that way. So he shook his head and said: "It's not that, I just want to ask you, is being a concubine considered an official staff member?"

  Chen Hua also felt that he and Bai Laowang were doing something a bit unscrupulous, Luo Xiaotong had found formal work for them, but they were trying to deceive people by getting a fake husband.

  "Of course not. But think about it, how hard is it to find a job these days? It's not that easy anywhere, you have to take it one step at a time. Only by getting familiar with everyone here and having opportunities can I help you get in, and when the time comes, I'll naturally bring you in."

  There is still hope, as long as there is hope it's fine. Luo Xiaotong was dissatisfied, but it seems that this is the only way.

  "When the time comes, Deputy Mayor and Bai Ge must help me!"

  "That's it, don't worry about it, this is also a detour in the war. You are a university student, you should understand this truth. Let's just leave it at that for today, when will you come to work?"

  "You decide, I'll go along with whatever you arrange."

  "Then tomorrow, your work is at night, very important work, the whole town government compound will be under your management."

  After finishing speaking, he laughed happily. Luo Xiaotong naturally wasn't that happy, who would be happy? Chen Hua's words sounded sarcastic!
