"Nonsense! Why would Wang Hao falsely accuse Xiaoming? Xiaoming must have done something wrong for Wang Hao to speak out. Shut your mouth this instant!"
The town mayor lambasted Secretary Hu with a tirade of abuse.
Secretary Hu, covering her struck cheek, looked at the mayor with tear-filled eyes.
Seeing that the mayor had no intention of defending her, she ran out of the office feeling aggrieved.
"Since the mayor has affirmed that I didn’t falsely accuse Xiaoming, what does the mayor think of Chief Dong and Officer Huang?"
Wang Hao continued to press the issue.
"They did the right thing. These kids are too spoiled and need a lesson to remember," the mayor said.
Having navigated the political landscape for many years, the mayor instantly read Wang Hao’s intentions and conveniently answered in kind.
"Chief Dong and Officer Zhou carry out their duties seriously and enforce the law impartially. They are role models for us. With them here, I don’t have to worry about the town’s public safety."
He flattered Chief Dong and Zhou Yingying in accordance with Wang Hao’s intentions and, seeing Wang Hao smile, he approached and said.
"I have another meeting to attend, so I won’t keep Chief Dong from her work any longer. I’ll take my leave now."
The town mayor bid Wang Hao farewell with the intention of leaving. After taking a couple of steps, he turned back and looked at Wang Hao with a pleading gaze.
"Xiaoming is still just a child. I hope you, Brother Wang Hao, will deal with him leniently!"
Seeing that Wang Hao gave no response, and unable to say more, he left with a dejected look.
As soon as the mayor left, the police station’s office became lively.
Everyone surrounded Wang Hao, nodding and bowing, eager to please, offering tea, and pouring water.
Chief Dong, seeing this, called Wang Hao into the chief’s office.
"Mr. Wang, please have a seat. Thank you for your help earlier. Otherwise, I really don’t know how the mayor would have dealt with me and the higher-ups."
Chief Dong invited Wang Hao to sit and personally poured him a cup of tea.
Wang Hao took a careful look at Chief Dong and noticed she wasn’t very old, just a bit over forty, but her face was worn and she had serious dark circles, probably from frequent late nights.
But she was very amiable and down-to-earth, with no air about her, which suggested she might be a good cop.
"Chief Dong, I’m not sure if I should speak out of turn, but although Zhao Xiaobo made a mistake, considering it was his first offense and he hasn’t caused any harm to society, could we just teach him a lesson and not make it difficult for him?"
Wang Hao, having experienced youthful rebellion himself, knew they were just emulating TV dramas for fun.
"Mr. Wang, I didn’t expect you to be so magnanimous. I was actually planning to discuss this with you."
Chief Dong admired that despite Wang Hao’s young age, he had such a broad perspective and network of connections.
"Mr. Wang, forgive my impertinence, but what do you do for a living? Why do the county leaders tremble at the mention of your name?"
Chief Dong was curious, feeling that Wang Hao was no ordinary person.
"I’m just a real farmer. I don’t know why they would be afraid of me?"
Of course, Wang Hao knew why they feared him, but he didn’t think it necessary to show off to others.
Chief Dong realized that this was just Wang Hao’s way of deflecting, so she didn’t press further.
After their conversation, Wang Hao left the office. The moment he stepped out of the door, Zhou Yingying was waiting for him outside.
"Just now... Thank... Thank you!"
Zhou Yingying stammered and fidgeted a long time before finally getting the words out.
"Just thanks with words? Aren’t you going to thank me with something more substantial?"
Wang Hao couldn’t resist joking.
"Then what kind of thanks do you want?"
Zhou Yingying asked.
"How about... pledging yourself to me!"
Wang Hao quipped, seizing the opportunity to tease.
"You scoundrel!"
Zhou Yingying’s face turned crimson, and she lowered her head and scurried back to her workstation.
Her colleagues all looked at her curiously.
Upon returning to his office, Mayor Zhao Qisheng couldn’t calm himself. The last time, over the forest issue in Chen Village, the Deputy County Chief had personally called to inform him that the government had requisitioned the forest.
Moreover, he had specifically instructed not to provoke Wang Hao and to yield to him in all matters! Otherwise, his own official cap would not be secure!
Zhao Qisheng also understood that Wang Hao was backed by the Zao City Biological Laboratory, which was why even the Deputy County Chief cleared the way for him.
"Xiao Hu, I didn’t hurt you just now, did I?"
Seeing Secretary Hu enter furiously, Zhao Qisheng hurried to comfort her.
"I’m sorry, I’m sorry, my darling. You know it’s not easy for me. I can’t afford to offend those above, and with Wang Hao having the laboratory as his support, I had no choice but to inconvenience you!" freewebnøvel.coɱ
After speaking, he pulled Secretary Hu onto his lap.
Secretary Hu half-heartedly sat on Zhao Qisheng’s legs while lightly punching his chest with her petite fists.
"You jerk, hitting me in front of so many people, did you not think about my feelings?"
Secretary Hu pouted her lips, and tears of grievance rolled down.
"Ouch, my baby, it hurts me more than it hurts you when I hit your face, I promise, this will never happen again! Baby, stop hitting, I’m afraid your hand will hurt!"
After saying that, he grabbed Secretary Hu’s small hand and pulled her into his arms.
"I’ll take you to buy a bag in a bit, baby, whatever you want!"
Zhao Qisheng couldn’t help but kiss Secretary Hu once, his other hand constantly roaming her waist and hips.
"Alright, then I want Chanel No. 5!"
Secretary Hu giggled and snuggled up to his shoulder.
"Sure, no problem, I’ll buy it for you!"
After saying that, he hugged Secretary Hu tighter and kissed her forcefully again.
At that moment, Secretary Hu also responded to his passion.
The two were kissing forgetfully, as if each wanted to explore the other more deeply, but just then the door was burst open.
Zhao Qisheng was startled and quickly let go of Secretary Hu and stood up.
"Xiao... Xiaoming?"
"Dad, I was bullied by Wang Hao, you have to avenge me!"
Zhao Xiaoming ran in crying, focused on revenge, and did not notice the unusual behavior between Zhao Qisheng and Secretary Hu.
"How did you get out so quickly?"
Zhao Qisheng was puzzled to see his son released so quickly.
"Wasn’t it you who went there and made them release me? I know everything, after you went to the police station, that Wang Hao didn’t dare to testify anymore. He said my dad is not someone to mess with, and challenged me, so here I am, released without any issue."
Zhao Xiaoming boasted with pride.
After hearing what Zhao Xiaoming said, Zhao Qisheng seemed to understand something.
Previously, he had helped Zhao Youquan reclaim the forests in Chen Village, and later made a scene at the police station, even cursing Wang Hao.
He thought that Wang Hao would certainly seek personal revenge, if not to torment Zhao Xiaoming, then at least to keep him detained for a few more days without any complaint.
Unexpectedly, not only did Wang Hao not hold a grudge, he also released Zhao Xiaoming so quickly.
"Dad, say something! That bastard Wang Hao had me sent to the police station, you must get rid of this jerk for me!"
Zhao Xiaoming, seeing Zhao Qisheng not speaking, stamped his feet in frustration.
"Smack!"
Suddenly, Zhao Qisheng slapped Zhao Xiaoming across the face.
"You really don’t know what’s good for you!"
Zhao Xiaoming was stunned by the slap.
This was the first time Zhao Qisheng had hit him, since he was grown.
To keep Zhao Xiaoming from public attention, Chief Dong had someone use his private car to send him home, and Zhao Qisheng was aware of all this. He did not want to let Zhao Xiaoming make a big deal out of the situation.
"You think I don’t know what you’ve done? Get out of here and reflect against the wall!"
Knowing he had done wrong, Zhao Xiaoming obediently left.
At that time, Wang Hao also walked out of the police station ready to go home. Chief Dong personally escorted him to the gate, and the villagers coming to handle affairs who saw them couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.
"Who is this guy? He’s got so much face that even Chief Dong is seeing him off personally!"
"He looks familiar, seems like it’s Wang Hao from Chen Village!"
"Yes, it’s him, I have a relative in Chen Village, I’ve seen him there. I wondered how a fresh college graduate like him had so much money to build greenhouses; turns out there’s someone backing him!"
Wang Hao never imagined that he would become famous in the town on this trip.
By the time he got home, it was already the afternoon. After lunch, Wang Hao went to the greenhouses with the villagers, discovering that they were all curiously gathered around.
"Wang Hao, isn’t it strange? In just one night, not only have the seeds sprouted, but they’ve grown so big."
Wang Xiaoer walked over to Wang Hao, gesturing with his thumb how much they had grown. freewebnøvel.com
"Really?"
Wang Hao pretended to be shocked as he asked,
Seeing Wang Hao’s exaggerated expression, Su Zhenping couldn’t help but roll his eyes at him, thinking that he really knew how to act.
All afternoon, Su Zhenping and the villagers sowed the seeds, making use of all the greenhouses.
Now, it was a matter of waiting for the harvest in winter.
After a hard day, Wang Hao lay on his bed at night, thinking he could finally get a good night’s sleep.
Then there was a knock at the door; opening it, he saw—
It was his sister-in-law, Feng Man!
