Chapter 24

Wang Tiancheng saw Tang Hui walk out and gently close the door. He hid behind the door, listening to all the sounds outside. Wang Tiancheng was certain that this deputy township chief would now call Zhou Township Chief to report the situation, and then bring people to catch them in the act.

Sure enough, the deputy township chief, after a brief inquiry to confirm that Wang Tiancheng and Song Hong were in the room, made a call. Wang Tiancheng recognized the voice as undoubtedly Zhou Ren's. This old man was really ruthless, determined to turn the tables. Sometimes Wang Tiancheng felt that this kind of behavior was meaningless, and he shook his head helplessly.

Wang Tiancheng lay down on the single bed, waiting for Zhou Township Chief to arrive.

It wasn't long before Wang Tiancheng heard the sound of a car braking on the road, followed quickly by the sound of the car door closing. Wang Tiancheng was speechless. Zhou Ren was making so much noise; he must be lacking in brains. Catching someone in the act should be done carefully, but with such a commotion, anyone would have run away by now.

At this moment, a voice came from the living room on the second floor, "Miss, is Director Wang here? We've come to see his new office."

"Who are you calling 'miss'? What are you here for? How impolite!" Tang Hui said bluntly. As a civil servant who had passed the exam on her own merit, she was very offended by Zhou Ren's words.

Wang Tiancheng wanted to laugh, rarely admiring Tang Hui's courage, and also laughing at Zhou Ren. "Miss" is a term of respect for women who sell themselves, but using it on other women would only invite trouble.

Zhou Ren was taken aback, then quickly understood. However, as the township chief, he wouldn't admit his mistake to a young girl. He said sternly, "This is our Organization Department's Director Mi, and I am the township chief of Liucun. Is that not enough?"

Tang Hui looked at these people, feeling angry. Being an official made them so arrogant. She said bluntly, "Wait a moment. Director Wang just lay down. I'll go call him." She started to walk towards the room.

"No need, we are good friends. We'll go find him ourselves," Zhou Township Chief said with a smile, especially after hearing that Wang Tiancheng had just lain down. He couldn't let this opportunity slip away. As he spoke, he strode towards the deputy director's room.

Zhou Ren rudely opened the door, looked around the room, and quickly walked into the inner room. Song Hong was sleeping soundly inside. Feeling the door open, she thought it was Wang Tiancheng and happily opened her eyes. But then she immediately sat up from the bed.

Song Hong glared at Zhou Ren and said, "What do you want?" She hadn't expected it to be Zhou Ren. Her face, which had been happy, turned extremely ugly, and she wanted to slap him.

"I, I, nothing, please continue," Zhou Ren stammered, then tried to leave.

"Stop! Township Chief Zhou, I know what you're thinking. You've had ulterior motives towards me all along. Do you want to take advantage of me while I'm sleeping? Director Mi from the Organization Department is here. Explain yourself clearly. If you don't, I'll jump out the window," Song Hong said sternly, moving towards the window.

"Don't, we came to find Director Wang. We didn't expect you to be here," Zhou Ren said, his face pale with fear. He hadn't expected things to turn out this way and glared at the deputy township chief behind him.

Song Hong, of course, knew why Zhou Ren had come. He just wanted to catch her in a compromising situation. She stared at Zhou Ren and said, "I drank too much and wanted to rest in Director Wang's room. Is that not allowed? Township Chief Zhou, you're watching me too closely. Is that illegal?"

At that moment, Wang Tiancheng, holding a cup of water, walked in. Wang Tiancheng knew the timing was right and said, somewhat surprised, "Tiancheng, you're finally here. Please persuade Secretary Song not to do anything foolish." Zhou Ren looked at Wang Tiancheng as if he had found a savior.

Wang Tiancheng was delighted. He hadn't expected Song Hong to be such a good actor, even performing the scene of jumping out the window. Looking at Song Hong by the window, her eyes wide and her large chest heaving with anger, he didn't go to her directly. Wang Tiancheng wasn't one to be easily bullied. He looked at Zhou Ren and said, "Township Chief Zhou, what did you do to Secretary Song? She looks like she's about to jump. I don't dare go to her. You should go yourself." Wang Tiancheng was delighted, admiring his skill in pouring oil on the fire.

At this point, Director Mi couldn't stand it anymore and stared at Zhou Ren, saying, "Township Chief Zhou, what are you doing? Are you making fun of me? You act it out yourself. I'm leaving." Director Mi then turned and walked away.

Zhou Ren was completely at a loss. He had no choice but to look at Song Hong and say, "Secretary Song, I was wrong. I apologize." Zhou Ren bowed deeply.

Seeing that the performance was almost over and Director Mi had left, with only the members of the Liucun township committee remaining, Song Hong slowly walked over and said, "Township Chief Zhou, you should be more careful. Director Wang, keep your recording. It might be useful later." Song Hong then walked out.

Wang Tiancheng naturally followed her. When they were far enough away, he whispered to Song Hong, "Secretary Song, you should be an actress. Being the secretary of this township is a waste of your talent."

Song Hong's face was filled with the joy of victory. She smiled and said, "Silly boy, I only act this way with you. I would be nervous with anyone else. It seems we are a perfect match." Song Hong inadvertently said this and immediately covered her mouth, her face turning red.

Wang Tiancheng was also taken aback, admiring Song Hong for so casually revealing her feelings. Looking at her blushing face, he was overjoyed and wanted to return to the big bed to satisfy this young woman.

"Beautiful lady, why don't we go to a hotel and act it out again?" Wang Tiancheng said with a squint, looking at Song Hong's bashful expression as if she were already naked before him.

"Smooth talker, but be careful with Zhou Ren. He might have some other schemes. He might be watching us right now," Song Hong said, looking at the tall and strong Wang Tiancheng. She had really fallen for Wang Tiancheng, feeling a sense of happiness and relief from the pressure of work whenever she was with him.
