Chapter 44, Health Doctor (Part 2)

Currently, the education, culture, and health sectors of Hongshui County are under the jurisdiction of Fang Ling, the vice-county magistrate and member of the Standing Committee. Of course, Mu Xi isn't necessarily one of Fang Ling's direct subordinates. After all, before Fang Ling entered the Standing Committee, her jurisdiction did not include these sectors, and she hadn't promoted any confidants in these systems.

"Regarding the health doctor, you can privately discuss it with Song An. There's no need to report to me. If there are any issues, let Song An convey them to me," Yang Zixuan said in a calm tone, not wanting to get bogged down in the details.

This made Director Mu a bit anxious. He asked, "County Magistrate, don't you want to meet the health doctor we've arranged for you? She's waiting outside. You should take a look. If you find her unsuitable, we can go back to the hospital and find a new one."

"Hmm?" Yang Zixuan felt something was odd. Usually, these matters were handled by Song An. Why did Mu Xi come in person today?

Yang Zixuan didn't think much about it and paused, saying, "Since you're here, call her in."

Mu Xi's face lit up, but he still respectfully said, "County Magistrate, I'll go out and call her in."

After a while, Mu Xi's round body rolled back into the county magistrate's office, followed by a girl.

Yang Zixuan glanced at the girl. Having seen beauties like Su Chen and Lin Ruoshui, he couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. What was Old Mu up to, bringing such a girl to be his regular health doctor?

Taking a few more looks, Yang Zixuan had to admit that, whether in terms of figure or appearance, it was hard to find any flaws.

Her attire was simple, a plain white doctor's uniform with a pair of small leather shoes. Compared to Su Chen's cuteness, she had a different charm.

"Lu'er, this is our county magistrate of Hongshui County, Yang Zixuan. From now on, you will be his health doctor. You must follow his instructions, understood?" Mu Xi was very satisfied with Yang Zixuan's surprised expression. After all, finding such a girl in a small county like this wasn't easy.

Lu'er is not from Hongshui County but from Hong County, the second largest district in Daming City. Not long ago, Mu Xi went to Hong County People's Hospital for a survey and happened to encounter Lu'er, who was quietly treating patients. He was immediately struck by her beauty. The hospital director of Hong County People's Hospital was also an old classmate and good friend of Mu Xi. So Mu Xi put in a lot of effort and promised to help Lu'er's brother, who had no fixed job and relied on her salary, get a job at Hongshui County People's Hospital. Only then did Lu'er agree to come to Hongshui County People's Hospital.

Mu Xi, who is in his forties, has no particular interest in women. So he didn't make a move on Lu'er, especially since she looked so pure and simple. But Mu Xi is a real power-hungry person, deeply fascinated by the feeling of wielding power. He wanted to use Lu'er as a stepping stone to connect with the young county magistrate, which led to today's scene.

Hearing Mu Xi's words, a hint of confusion flashed across Lu'er's innocent face, but it quickly disappeared. She remained quiet, nodded, and met Yang Zixuan's gaze without any inferiority or pretense.

Yang Zixuan's mind raced. Looking at Mu Xi's smug smile, he knew what he was up to. The old director of the county health bureau, Mr. Zhang, would be retiring next year, and many people were eyeing his position. Mu Xi was also thinking about this.

"Old Mu, by sending me such a beautiful health doctor, are you trying to make me make a mistake?" Yang Zixuan said with a faint smile.

Mu Xi's face changed slightly. Once such unspoken intentions were brought to light, the situation changed. A chill ran down his spine, thinking Yang Zixuan was angry. He quickly said, "County Magistrate, I absolutely had no such intention. Lu'er is indeed a skilled doctor in our hospital. Even some of the older doctors and young graduates from prestigious medical colleges can't match her!"

"County Magistrate, Lu'er's medical skills are indeed recognized by the public at our People's Hospital. You can ask some of the doctors if you don't believe me. Although she has only been at our hospital for a few days, she has already gained a good reputation among the patients..." Mu Xi was getting anxious and quickly explained, wiping the sweat from his forehead. If the young county magistrate thought he was intentionally trying to harm him, it would be a case of overreaching. Mu Xi couldn't help but feel frustrated, truly shooting himself in the foot!

Seeing how Mu Xi was scared by his one sentence, Yang Zixuan couldn't help but laugh. He glanced at Lu'er standing to the side.

Her eyes were clear, not shy or artificial, and she no longer seemed as nervous as before, her face calm.

Judging from Mu Xi's demeanor, it seemed Lu'er's medical skills were indeed good. With her innocent appearance, it's no wonder she was popular among the patients at the People's Hospital!

"Since that's the case, let Lu'er be my health doctor. However, besides regular check-ups, she should continue working at the People's Hospital. There's no need to assign her as a dedicated health doctor, as that would violate national regulations," Yang Zixuan said calmly. Having such a pure health doctor had its own charm. Although he didn't expect anything to happen between them, having a beautiful woman around was always a pleasure to the eye, and he wasn't immune to that.

Hearing Yang Zixuan's words, Mu Xi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed the young county magistrate liked Lu'er. He had thought Yang Zixuan might be asexual, which would have been a problem.

"Alright, I'll discuss it with Director Song later. I won't disturb you further. I'll leave now." Mu Xi's face was full of flattery as he led the simple and pure Lu'er out of the office.

...

Zhao Nan walked out of the Party Secretary's office. Tall and slender, his appearance did not hinder his political career. At the age of forty, he was already the Party Secretary of Jingyang District, the most prestigious district in Daming City. He held a draft plan for the Jingyang Economic Development Zone. Since he heard that Daming City was planning to establish an economic development zone, Zhao Nan's thoughts became active. Based on his years of political experience, he immediately sensed that the economic development zone project must be secured. Once it was established, it would be a significant and impressive achievement, and a crucial stepping stone to becoming a member of the Municipal Party Committee. Of course, as the Party Secretary of the most prestigious district in Daming City, becoming a member of the Municipal Party Committee was not his ultimate goal, but it was a key step. The difference in progress between a key member of the Standing Committee and a junior member was significant.

Therefore, the achievement of the economic development zone was crucial for his promotion to the Municipal Party Committee. He was determined to secure it!
