Chapter 63

Xiao Yason listened to Liu Daxing's words without the slightest hint of anger. Liu Daxing was right; he was not the Party Secretary of Luosang County, and he could not represent Luosang County. Currently, his visit to Wuhe County and the preliminary cooperation agreement reached with Liu Daxing were already a great contribution to Luosang County.

Xiao Yason didn't dare to hope for more. He smiled and stopped discussing the herbal medicine with Liu Daxing, instead shifting the conversation back to fishing. Everyone enjoyed a pleasant time, catching over a dozen fish, and only stopped when the sun began to set.

The all-fish banquet that evening earned high praise from Liu Daxing. The chefs he had hired for the guesthouse were all expensive, and their skills were undoubtedly top-notch. However, their fish-cooking skills were indeed inferior to those of the boss of Jufu Manor. After a satisfying meal, everyone left Jufu Manor with content and happy hearts.

"Xiao Jie, County Chief Xiao's authority is limited. Talking to him won't lead to anything substantial. I've already conveyed my attitude to Luosang County. If they are sincere, they will send a leader of significant weight to Wuhe County. My staying in the county is no longer meaningful.

Xiao Min has been nagging me to take her to Xijihu Lake during the summer vacation. Since I have some free time recently, I will spend more time with her. We will return to Fuxin Tungsten Mine tomorrow morning. Take care of yourself and don't worry your parents and us."

Liu Daxing had drunk a lot, but he had taken a hangover remedy before drinking, so he was completely sober and clear-headed.

"I understand! Uncle, I'm about to be transferred to the provincial office. I will be working in the provincial capital for a long time. If there are any issues at home or in business, just call me directly." Yang Jie had only learned about his transfer to the provincial office in the afternoon, so he hadn't had the chance to tell Liu Daxing.

Liu Daxing smiled and said, "Working in the provincial capital is a good thing! You will meet more people and build a broader network, which will benefit your future career in the system.

Moreover, since you are going to the provincial capital, you should seize the opportunity to pursue a part-time master's degree. A higher degree is crucial for future promotions. If you want to advance further in the system, you need not only impressive achievements but also a solid educational background. Do you understand?"

"I understand!" Yang Jie nodded and smiled. To be honest, if Liu Daxing hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have realized that he could pursue a part-time master's degree while working at the provincial office.

Liu Daxing continued to talk to Yang Jie about things to pay attention to at work. They chatted until the car stopped, and they realized they had arrived at the postal bureau's residential area. Yang Jie said goodbye to Liu Daxing and got out of the car, returning to his dormitory.

Yang Jie had drunk a lot that evening. When he entered the dormitory, the smell of alcohol permeated the entire living room. Xie Yan and Cao Meng, who were watching TV on the sofa, wrinkled their noses in unison and stared at Yang Jie, who was changing his shoes.

"Yang Jie, you drink so much every day. Aren't you afraid of liver damage? Young people shouldn't take their health for granted. When you develop health issues, it will be too late to regret it!" Xie Yan, seeing Yang Jie about to enter the bedroom, kindly advised him.

Yang Jie looked at Xie Yan, who had just taken a shower. Her well-proportioned and plump figure was hidden under a large, white cotton pajama set with Snoopy prints, which concealed her alluring curves. Her face was slightly flushed, probably due to the heat and the shower, making her look incredibly charming.

Cao Meng, sitting beside her, was the opposite of Xie Yan. She preferred tight-fitting clothes due to her regular exercise. After the shower, she wore a black tight-fitting tank top and tight seven-eighths pants, which accentuated her curvaceous figure.

Especially the two full breasts above her tank top, which were prominently exposed, almost half of them white and plump, with a deep and endless valley between them, almost making Yang Jie lose himself in the captivating view.

Cao Meng, noticing Yang Jie standing in the living room with the smell of alcohol, staring intently at her chest, blushed and scolded, "What are you looking at! Pervert!"

"Cao Meng, that's not right. If you don't look at me, how would you know I'm looking at you? Besides, if you dress like that, it's meant to be seen, right?" Yang Jie, regaining his composure, smiled and approached the blushing Cao Meng.

"What are you up to? I'm a police officer!" Cao Meng became nervous as soon as Yang Jie approached.

Sometimes, people who have been drinking are not fully aware of their actions and might do things they wouldn't normally do. Cao Meng was genuinely nervous, as she was a woman too.

Yang Jie walked to the coffee table and sat down on a stool, looking at the nervous Cao Meng and smiling. "Don't be like that. I'm not that desperate. Compared to you, Xiao Yan is much more womanly. Don't worry! I'm more afraid of you harassing me!"

Before Cao Meng could retort, Yang Jie turned to Xie Yan and said, "Thanks for your concern, Xiao Yan. I'll be more careful in the future. I have something to tell you both. I'm about to be transferred to the provincial office, and this dormitory will soon be just the two of you."

Cao Meng was quite upset by Yang Jie's earlier comment. She wanted to retort but stopped when she heard his words. She looked him up and down and said, "Are you saying this because you want Xiao Yan to refund your living expenses?"

Yang Jie didn't expect Cao Meng to ask that. He smiled and explained, "I'm just on a temporary transfer to the provincial office. My work at the county office remains unchanged, and I will still live in this dormitory. Where would I stay if I returned to Wuhe County?

I'm not going to the provincial capital permanently. With the convenient transportation, I will still be responsible for attracting investment. I might often bring foreign investors to Wuhe County for inspections. So, I'll keep the living expenses with Xiao Yan and deduct them gradually. We are roommates, so I just wanted to let you know in advance. There's no other meaning."

"Now that communication is more convenient, the dormitory has a phone. If you need anything, just call. If no one is here, you can send us emails. Remember to stay in touch!"

Xie Yan didn't expect Yang Jie to be transferred so soon after moving in. She had gotten used to making breakfast for him in the mornings.

Cao Meng also didn't expect Yang Jie to leave. Although they had occasional arguments, she had no ill intentions. She had gotten used to having a man in the dormitory. Now, like Xie Yan, she felt a bit uncomfortable.

Xie Yan, being a nurse, often worked night shifts, leaving her alone in the evenings. Although Cao Meng was a policewoman, it didn't mean she wasn't afraid of being alone. She had finally gotten a roommate, but now Yang Jie was leaving.

"Everyone has computers. Phone calls can be expensive. We can chat online!"

Yang Jie noticed the reluctance on both women's faces and smiled inwardly. He remembered the instant messaging software, HIHI, that Xiao Wu had created the previous night when Xie Yan mentioned emails.

"I know a good online chat tool that's much more convenient than emails. If you install it and add me as a friend, we can chat in real-time."

Xie Yan and Cao Meng's eyes lit up. Both were among the earliest internet users in Wuhe County. Since the establishment of the Science and Technology Network last year, many websites had emerged, enriching the online lives of domestic netizens.

Currently, online communication mainly relied on emails, and there were no instant messaging tools. The two women were immediately interested in what Yang Jie said, and their slight sadness about his departure quickly dissipated.

"Yang Jie, turn on the computer and copy that instant messaging software to us using a floppy disk." Xie Yan jumped up from the sofa, trying to push Yang Jie back to the dormitory.

However, Yang Jie, who had sweated a lot from drinking, had a wet shirt that was slippery. Xie Yan's hands slipped as she pushed him, and she ended up crashing into his back.

Yang Jie, who was about to walk back, didn't expect Xie Yan to suddenly collide with him. Fortunately, he was tall and strong, and had practiced martial arts for a few years, so he didn't fall.

The wet shirt stuck to his back, making it feel as if he was almost naked. Xie Yan, whose chest was pressed tightly against his back, felt the intense heat from Yang Jie's back and the unique scent of a man, which made her dazed.

Yang Jie felt two elastic objects pressing firmly against his back. He could vaguely sense two slightly hard points slowly protruding in the two objects. As he moved, he felt the two objects rubbing against his back, which made him feel particularly comfortable.

"Damn! No wonder Xie Yan wears such a loose, non-transparent pajama. She's not wearing a bra!" Yang Jie realized what was happening and enjoyed the unexpected double pressure on his back.
