Chapter 96: Warm Welcome
Early in the morning, Liu Qiang blocked Liu Shubo, who was coming to work, at the gate of the town government.
"Liu Qiang, what are you doing here?" Liu Shubo looked at Liu Qiang and didn't want to see this troublemaker.
Liu Qiang quickly came to Liu Shubo's black car, lowered his head, and said politely: "I need your help with something, Mayor Liu. It's a very simple matter."
Liu Shubo said decisively: "It's a matter of official business. I don't accept gifts, and I don't do anything illegal. You should handle your own affairs according to the procedures and apply for it yourself."
Hearing what the mayor said, Liu Qiang said awkwardly: "Misunderstanding, I'm not asking you to get benefits for me. I know Mayor Liu is an honest official. I'm not here to invite you to dinner and drink with me. This is related to the big company in our town!"
When Liu Shubo heard this, he thought of the incident where Liu Qiang’s wife was fired.
"Liu Qiang, I was present at your wife's incident. Secretary He and others were also watching. She didn't follow the rules of another company and was throwing a tantrum and cursing at people. She didn't do what she said. Don't come to me about this kind of thing. I can't help you."
Liu Shubo didn't want to get involved in this kind of mess. No matter what the matter was, if he, as the mayor, helped others to step forward, it would feel like he was suppressing others.
By then, others will not think that they are the ones who were blamed for anything that happened just because they said a few nice words to them.
Liu Qiang knew from the beginning that it was not reliable to ask Liu Shubo to handle this matter. How could he ask the mayor to pick someone up?
But his friend said it was okay, and Liu Qiang felt proud and trusted that person, so he believed it.
"Mayor Liu, listen to me. This is about my sister. My second sister is coming back. She did a lot of wrong things in the past and she is too embarrassed to come back. I want you to come forward and give her a chance to start a new life!"
They are all from the same town. Liu Shubo has also heard about Liu Erjie. Liu Yan, as her name suggests, has a very bad reputation in this town.
People like this should die outside. Few people in the town want them to come back.
Seeing that Liu Qiang came to him for this matter, Liu Shubo thought about it and felt that it was too troublesome.
"No, this is your family's private matter. I'm going out to pick someone up for you. What do you want to say?"
Liu Shubo was worried that if he went to pick someone up, people would make fun of him.
The person he picked up was not an ordinary person, but a woman who was more promiscuous than an ordinary prostitute. The women in the town verbally attacked such people a lot, and it was easy for them to think of themselves as one of that woman's mistresses.
If this basin of dirty water, which is even stinkier than foot washing water, is poured on your body, even on your feet, you will not be able to wash it clean.
"Don't block the road, I still have to go to work." Liu Shubo said and prepared to close the car window and leave.
However, Liu Qiang directly blocked the car window and continued, "I know about my second sister, but she has slept with so many men, she must understand men's hearts better than us, and she is better at speaking sweet words! Look, isn't she more suitable to be a teacher than your wife...than my wife?"
What Liu Qiang originally wanted to talk about was Liu Shubo's wife. Liu Shubo's wife is now working as a teacher in the Zhixin Gege Chat Company, explaining to those people what they should pay attention to.
Liu Shubo felt that Liu Qiang was being silly again. "What kind of teacher is she? Don't you know who your second sister is? Who in our town doesn't know?!"
Liu Qiang quickly responded to the netizens' advice: "Do you know the overseas Cang teacher?! Don't say you haven't seen it!"
This... this is fucking numb... Liu Shubo was speechless for a moment.
Liu Qiang was very pleased to see that there was a chance, and he quickly said, "We're not asking you to go alone to pick her up. Let's take the secretary and some other people from the town with us, and call some women with us, right?"
Liu Shubo felt that this person had a problem with his brain. "Who is willing to go? Who knows your second sister? Among those who know your second sister, how many are willing to say good things about her?"
Liu Qiang said with a thick face and a smile: "You are helping that company recruit talents! And we don't say she is that kind of person, who would be shameless enough to tell this matter everywhere! Besides, now all places are trying to retain local talents, can't you government officials just treat this as a face-saving measure? Pick up my sister today, and pick up someone else tomorrow, so that the people in the county can see it!"
"No! What you said sounds nice, but it's not that simple!" Liu Shubo felt that Liu Qiang was different today, not the same Liu Qiang as before.
At this moment, a man walked out from the office.
The deputy mayor saw Liu Shubo's car parked here and walked over. "Boss Wei said that our business capabilities are not strong enough, so he asked us to recruit some people who are more talkative."
Liu Shubo was stunned for a moment, and easily thought of Liu Qiang's second sister next to the car window.
After pondering for a moment, Liu Shubo went to discuss with the others.
There are still sixteen days until the Chinese New Year
Liu Yan sat in the taxi, looking at the unfamiliar scene around her.
The car was almost reaching the town. Liu Yan remembered that when she was young, she often pulled a cart on this road to sell things in the county.
Life was very hard at that time. My brothers and sisters had to depend on the old man for food. When we asked for money to buy exercise books for school, we had to cry for it.
Compared with the things on both sides, Liu Yan cared more about the female driver in front.
This woman was a beautiful woman, much more beautiful than her, and looked very rich, not like a taxi driver.
"Sister, you are so beautiful. It's a pity that you have to drive a taxi." Liu Yan took the initiative to talk to the beautiful woman.
The driver took the initiative to pick up Liu Yan after she got off the car.
It was said to be on the way, but in fact it was not, because someone was worried that Liu Erjie would have an affair with the taxi driver on the way, which would ruin the fun later, so someone was sent to take her directly to the town.
Even a short-haired woman was arranged next to the seat of the bus that this woman was riding today to deal with those who tried to chat her up. Otherwise, if she ran directly to the county hotel after getting off the bus, it would be disgusting.
Tan Xinyue didn’t understand why Wei Jie did such a boring thing, but for the sake of her own apartment, she had to fight!
"It's not a pity or not. People live to make money. Although my job is a bit long, it is free. When I don't want to work, I can ask my husband to come and take over for me. Although I can make some money driving a taxi, I envy those who work in offices, get paid on time, and don't have to worry about wind or rain."
Liu Yan said quickly: "That's not right. Sister, you are so beautiful, isn't it easy for you to make money?"
Tan Xinyue laughed, "Making money is important, but so is satisfying yourself. After I send you off, I have to go home to celebrate my daughter's birthday. My daughter is studying medicine, a dentist."
"Dentists make money!" Liu Yan started praising the man when she heard that his daughter was a doctor.
On the surface, Tan Xinyue was talking about her daughter and how gentle and considerate her husband was, but she was mainly talking about how good it was to have a stable job and the benefits of being a civil servant.
Liu Yan only envied these things, but did not take them seriously. They had nothing to do with her.
Who doesn't want to be a civil servant and earn some easy money? But isn't there no chance? She is born to be a prostitute, so what?!
When chatting with a woman like Tan Xinyue, who had a very happy family and marriage, Liu Yan felt particularly uncomfortable and gradually became autistic.
Tan Xinyue calculated the time, and after she finished saying what Wei Jie asked her to memorize, she left herself another minute to be alone.
The boss said it can’t be early or late.
If it's too early, it will be too sudden; if it's too late, you will be able to wake up from your autistic state on your own.
People’s time for self-reflection is very short.
"We're here!" Tan Xinyue reminded Liu Yan. In order to calculate the time and distance, Tan Xinyue had practiced driving on this road for the past two days...
"Yeah." Liu Yan nodded, paid the bill, and got out of the car with her bag.
After getting off the car, the taxi next to it turned around and left. When Liu Yan was about to move forward, she found a group of familiar people gathered in front.
One of them looked like her brother, and these people were standing on the side of the road, holding a big red banner!
When Liu Qiang saw Liu Yan, he quickly raised his hands, and some town officials including Liu Shubo shouted in unison:
"Welcome home, Teacher Liu Yan!!"
Liu Yan stood there in a daze.
shame!
So shameful!
