Chapter 401: Chapter 401 Your Flirtatious Thoughts
"All right, the idea is definitely sound, but as for your village’s current situation with the farms, are you aware? It’s already drowning in debt, and it’s become a malignant tumor that must be dealt with. This is something you’ll have to resolve."
"The farm issue is within my scope of planning, so I’ll be proposing a reform plan for that too. The situation as it is certainly can’t continue. If it goes on for too long, it’ll inevitably have a significant impact on the village’s future development. Besides, all these debts need to be faced and addressed."
"Ah, young man, I know stepping up now is placing a heavy burden on your shoulders. But the previous village head could only do so much, and after dedicating his life to rural work, it’s now up to you to resolve this."
"Don’t worry, I know what to do. Mayor Liu, rest assured, I won’t disappoint you."
"That’s good. I had heard about your reputation before, but seeing you today truly is impressive. Not only is your medical skill remarkable, I didn’t expect you to have such unique ideas for managing the village. I’m curious to see what kind of plan you’ll come up with, so I’ll be watching you closely."
Upon hearing this, Liu Zheng just smiled. Although these were expectations placed on him, he understood that this was also the greatest hope his leadership had for him.
He believed in his ability to solve this problem. After greeting Mayor Liu, he left the house with Liu Jiaxin.
"Look at you, swearing up and down to the mayor about taking care of things. But have you thought about what you’d do without my support behind you? All your plans wouldn’t stand a chance."
"Don’t worry, I’ll never forget your great kindness, and there certainly won’t be any problems. Besides, if you don’t support me, who will?"
"Nearly forgot to ask you, between you and the woman from the village, Li Yanling, that is, the second sister-in-law, is there something going on?"
Jiaxin’s sudden question threw Liu Zheng off. Why would she bring this up out of nowhere? And what was she trying to do by asking these questions now?
"Come on, what’s gotten into you? We were discussing medicine and out of the blue, you bring her up?"
"It’s because I wanted to ask you before, but didn’t get the chance. That night when you two met, something seemed off about the way you looked at each other. Tell me, do you actually have something going on with her?"
"My dear lady, as heaven is my witness, why would I meddle in someone’s family? Besides, she’s married, how could I possibly do such a thing? There’s nothing, absolutely nothing. You’re just making baseless guesses."
"You think I don’t know about your wandering eye? Do you think I’m unaware of what’s going on with you and the village folks? Don’t think for a second that just because I’m not by your side, no one is watching you. I’m telling you, I have eyes everywhere in that village."
"Yes, all eyes are yours, everyone is your person, but what have you caught? Do you have any solid evidence? How am I involved with her? Don’t accuse me without proof on this matter."
"It’s not about slandering you. I’m telling you, a woman’s intuition is very accurate. When I saw the way you two looked at each other, I knew there was something fishy. It doesn’t matter whether you admit it or not, it doesn’t concern me. But just a warning, from now on, you stay away from the women in the village."
"Sister, come on, what exactly is our relationship? Why would you make such a demand? You’re not my wife, are you? I did mention before that we could consider getting married, but now I take it back."
"Fine, try taking it back. I’m telling you, once the factory is built in the village, I’ll be watching you every second. I want to see if you still get the chance to play around."
For some reason, when Jiaxin said those words, it sent a chill down Liu Zheng’s spine.
He was aware of Jiaxin’s methods and knew she was capable, but the main issue was that Liu Zheng didn’t want to be tightly ensnared by her.
If he really wanted to settle down with her for life, the situation wouldn’t be as it was today. With her by his side, Liu Zheng could easily have fled far away, but that wasn’t a road he could take.
Her words were sharp like a sword, and even her smiles felt as though they hid blades, leaving him with a chilling feeling.
"Enough, enough, it’s getting late, and I still have research to do when I get back, so I won’t see you off. I’m heading straight back to the village. Aren’t you busy with preparing the construction of the factory tomorrow?"
"I’ve told you already, the construction team is officially entering the village tomorrow. So I really can’t leave today. I must go back to the village and wait for the outcome of your matters, while also managing the preliminary handover to them early tomorrow morning."
"What? You’re coming with me now? If you’re leaving with me now, where will you go?"
"What’s there to pretend? It’s not like we haven’t lived together before. It’s just a matter of getting up a bit earlier and leaving sooner. Besides, once the factory starts, I’ll have my own place there. Don’t worry; I’ll leave myself an office."
"Honestly, we need to talk about something else. The clinic isn’t just mine anymore. I haven’t had the chance to tell you, but I’ve taken on an intern, sort of a disciple, who’s officially apprenticed himself to me."
"What did you say? Apprenticed to you? You took on a disciple? When did this happen, and where did this disciple come from, is it a girl?"
