Chapter 59: Inequality Among Cadres

Wang Jian drove to the Xinhé Village Primary School. Now he couldn't afford to hesitate and walked straight into the school to find Jié Liánbīng. Fortunately, Lao Lü was not around, and after inquiring, Wang Jian found his way to Jié Liánbīng's dormitory.

Jié Liánbīng's door was slightly ajar. Wang Jian pushed it open and entered. Jié Liánbīng turned her head and saw him, immediately wiping away her tears.

"Liánbīng, you've been crying!" Wang Jian walked over and sat on a stool, asking with concern.

Jié Liánbīng put down her hand that had been wiping her tears and asked expressionlessly, "Why are you here?"

"I came to tell you that everything Zhao Yanyan said is a lie, a complete deception. If you don't believe me, I'll call her right now and get to the bottom of it!" Wang Jian took out his phone and said.

Jié Liánbīng turned to look at him, paused for a moment, and then said, "She also said that you've been to bed with her and that you're about to get married!"

"What did you say? She actually said that!" Wang Jian couldn't believe that Zhao Yanyan would say such things to Jié Liánbīng. It was like a silent killer, and anyone would be furious, especially Jié Liánbīng, who hadn't officially established a romantic relationship with him.

He had to call Zhao Yanyan! Wang Jian picked up the phone and called her, but Zhao Yanyan's phone kept going unanswered, making Wang Jian so angry that he almost threw his phone!

"Zhao Yanyan is trying to drive a wedge between us, and now she won't even answer my calls!" Wang Jian said angrily to Jié Liánbīng.

Jié Liánbīng's mood became complicated. Seeing Wang Jian's angry face, she believed that the woman was playing her, but thinking about how all the women around Wang Jian wanted him, she didn't know how to enter his life. Rather than face endless trouble in the future, it was better to end it now.

"Wang Jian, thank you for your feelings towards me. From now on, don't come to me anymore!" Jié Liánbīng formally told Wang Jian.

"Why?" Wang Jian couldn't help but ask.

Jié Liánbīng said with deep emotion, "Our social statuses are too different. You are surrounded by beautiful women, and I, a small teacher, don't have the qualifications to be by your side. I seek pure love, not the cunning and calculation of the world of fame and fortune. I can't adapt to that kind of life. You should find someone like Zhao Yanyan!"

Wang Jian stood up and walked to Jié Liánbīng, holding her shoulders and said with deep emotion, "Liánbīng, what you said is true. I am now in the world of fame and fortune, and although there are women who throw themselves at me, that's not what I seek. I, like you, want to pursue pure love like we did in college. But I found that it's hard to do so after leaving the campus, and it's even harder now. It wasn't until I met you that I seemed to see that lost love again, pure and clean, without any impurities. Can you bear to refuse me? Please believe me, my love for you is sincere and eternal!"

In an instant, Wang Jian's words touched her deeply. Jié Liánbīng stood there in a daze for a moment, then suddenly threw herself into Wang Jian's arms and cried!

"Wang Jian, I love you too!"

Jié Liánbīng's words touched Wang Jian deeply. He tightly embraced her and said firmly, "Liánbīng, I've decided to make our relationship public and not care what others say!"

Jié Liánbīng looked up at Wang Jian and murmured, "Wang Jian, will you really marry me?"

"I will, believe me!" Wang Jian nodded forcefully.

"Then let's not make it public yet. I want to talk to you a bit more!" Jié Liánbīng smiled through her tears and said to Wang Jian.

"Why?" Wang Jian asked in surprise.

Jié Liánbīng said, "I'm afraid that happiness has come too quickly, and I'll wake up to find it was all a dream. I also don't want people to think I'm with you just because you're the township chief. Let's have some time to get to know each other better and deepen our feelings, okay?"

Wang Jian understood Jié Liánbīng's concerns. She was worried that exposing their relationship too early would put her in the spotlight and attract a lot of gossip. It would be better to wait until the time was right to make it public.

"Liánbīng, I agree with your request, but you must also believe me and not listen to others' nonsense!" Wang Jian held Jié Liánbīng's shoulders with both hands and said.

Jié Liánbīng nodded forcefully and said, "I won't believe others' words anymore!"

Hearing Jié Liánbīng's words, Wang Jian straightened her up, looked at her charming face, and couldn't resist giving her a deep kiss!

Jié Liánbīng's long-suppressed emotions burst forth. She tightly embraced Wang Jian, sticking her tongue into his mouth and kissing him passionately.

After a while, Wang Jian stopped and said, "Liánbīng, let's transfer you to the central primary school first!"

"But the students here can't do without me for now. Can we wait a bit longer?" Jié Liánbīng wanted to continue providing psychological counseling to the students.

Wang Jian, impressed by Jié Liánbīng's kindness, agreed, "Alright, but don't overwork yourself. Let me know when you're done with the counseling!"

"Okay!" Jié Liánbīng nodded forcefully.

The two whispered to each other for a while. Lü Jun was waiting in the car outside. He and Jié Liánbīng were childhood friends from the same village. Knowing her gentle and kind nature, he thought it would be a great thing if she and Wang Jian became a couple.

After a while, Wang Jian came out, and Jié Liánbīng saw him off. The teachers at the school saw this and couldn't help but envy her. Who would have thought that Jié Liánbīng could hook up with the township chief? Her refusal of the male teachers at the school seemed to have been a wise decision.

Wang Jian had just left when a middle-aged female teacher approached and asked, "Xiao Jié, was that really the township chief?"

Jié Liánbīng, looking at Wang Jian as he left, turned and said, "Yes!" Then she turned and ran back to her dormitory.

"Tsk tsk, so young! Xiao Jié is going to be rich!" The middle-aged female teacher shook her head in admiration.

Before Jié Liánbīng could reach her room, another young female teacher came over and laughed, "Liánbīng, when can we drink to your wedding?"

"You're talking nonsense, there's nothing going on!" Jié Liánbīng blushed and denied it.

"Ha ha, still denying it? Your face is all red. Others chase after rich and handsome men, but you've found a powerful and handsome official. I'm so envious! Teach me a thing or two, and maybe I'll find one like that too!" The young female teacher laughed.

Jié Liánbīng knew that the woman in front of her was a flirtatious teacher who had dated several cadres in the township but never succeeded. Now, she was probably dating someone else!

"There's nothing going on, don't talk nonsense!" Jié Liánbīng turned and went into her room, closing the door and secretly rejoicing.

Wang Jian returned to the township, and Han Yuting came to see him, asking when he would return to the county. He couldn't stand her anymore. Now that he was dating Jié Liánbīng, what would it mean to be with her? Just to satisfy his strong desires?

"Dai Changyong has invited me to dinner, so I probably won't be able to go to your place," Wang Jian told Han Yuting.

Han Yuting was surprised and asked, "What kind of dinner is he inviting you to?"

"Fang Zhiming came to see me, and his attitude was extremely humble. He said Dai Changyong wanted to invite me, and I couldn't refuse, so I agreed," Wang Jian said.

Frowning slightly, Han Yuting said, "There might be a trap. Be careful!"

Thanks to Han Yuting's reminder, Wang Jian felt he should be cautious. The incident with Feng Guoqiang was still fresh in his mind. Who knew what tricks Fang Zhiming might have up his sleeve?

"It's fine. Lü Jun will be with me, so there's nothing to worry about!" Wang Jian thought for a moment and felt reassured. With Lü Jun there, it wouldn't be easy for Fang Zhiming to cause trouble, and with Dai Changyong present, things wouldn't get out of hand.

"Do you want me to go with you?" Han Yuting asked.

Wang Jian looked at her and said, "Dai Changyong invited me. If you come, it might make him suspicious. It's better if you don't go."

"Then you must come to me after you finish drinking!" Han Yuting gave him a seductive look.

Looking at Han Yuting's alluring eyes, Wang Jian didn't know what to say. This woman was too good at stirring up desire.

"Alright, I'll come over after dinner!"

"Good, I'll be waiting for you at home after my bath. Don't stand me up!" She gave him a seductive look and turned to leave.

Just as Han Yuting left, Du Xiaobei came in to deliver some materials. It was a report for applying for road construction funds from the higher authorities. Wang Jian decided to accelerate the township's infrastructure development to improve the rural transportation environment, which would help transport harvested vegetables smoothly.

"Township Chief Wang, the materials are ready. Please review them!" Since Han Yuting's arrival, Du Xiaobei had been very proper around Wang Jian. Seeing Han Yuting's assertiveness, she didn't dare to show any intimate or casual behavior towards Wang Jian. Wang Jian also wanted to cut off any thoughts of a relationship and kept a certain distance from her.

"Okay, put them here," Wang Jian said, just glancing at her.

Du Xiaobei left disappointedly, her eyes turning red as soon as she stepped out. There was nothing more painful than the person you love ignoring your existence.

As she was walking, Liu Yan came up from outside. Seeing Du Xiaobei's state, she asked curiously, "Hey, Xiaobei, what's wrong? Who bullied you?"

Since becoming the forestry station chief, Liu Yan's demeanor had changed significantly. Her full chest was deliberately held high, like two small mountains swaying. Zheng Shiguang was quite attracted to her, but since she was Fang Zhiming's woman, he could only admire from a distance.

Seeing Wang Jian's growing influence, she felt she couldn't rely solely on Fang Zhiming and needed to show some goodwill towards Wang Jian. She came to his office to report on her work.

Du Xiaobei increasingly disliked her, glared at her, and turned to leave. Liu Yan snorted through her nose, realizing that with Wang Jian as the township chief and surrounded by beautiful women, he wouldn't look at her, Du Xiaobei, anymore. She was still playing with men's emotions, a fool. Men didn't need her emotions; they wanted her as a person. The implications were clear to everyone.

Holding her chest high and watching Du Xiaobei leave, Liu Yan swayed up the stairs, making a clattering sound. Tang Lin, the armed forces minister, was passing by, smoking a cigarette. Seeing her through the smoke, he really wanted to extinguish his cigarette on her chest. There were more and more women in the township who liked to seduce men, but none of them came to seduce him. Damn, it was so unfair among cadres!
