Chapter 1638 - Stop (3)

Qi Lei was amused by Yang Sheng’s words. He smiled and said, “I couldn’t tell that you’d be that kind of person. I’ve seen your wife before. She’s petite and delicate. You have good taste.”

“Is that so? Master Qi, are you and Missus the same? I also think that Missus is very beautiful. I’ve always liked Missus. She’s very beautiful. She’s the most beautiful woman among those that you know, Master Qi!” Yang Sheng could not help but laugh.

“Do you think that I’m like you? I respect women the most. If I don’t marry her, I wouldn’t touch her. Of course, I also think that she’s very beautiful...”

“I don’t believe that you’re that kind of well-behaved conservation! Men, you know how it is!”

Yang Sheng clearly did not believe Qi Lei’s words. He gave Qi Lei a look that only men could understand. Qi Lei could only see the word ‘wretched’ from there. He averted his gaze with some disgust and closed the document in his hand.

“Let Wang Chun come see me in the evening. The weather is a little hot. I’m going to soak in the hot spring. Do you want to go?”

As Qi Lei said this, he stood up.

“Soak in the hot spring, of course I have to go!”

Yang Sheng was overjoyed.

...

The afternoon sun was scorching, and the wind in the air was also a little stuffy.

It was already autumn, and the weather was still so hot. It made people a little irritable.

At the city’s Northern Traffic Control Bureau.

Su Chen’s tall and straight body strode through the imposing guardhouse. With one hand, he dropped his hat. The uniform on his body was already soaked in sweat. His handsome face was also covered in a layer of sweat. Secretary He followed behind him, he was carrying a heavy briefcase in his hand, and his body was also drenched.

When he returned to the office, Su Chen went straight to wash his face and changed into a clean set of clothes. Only then did he walk to his desk and sit down. Secretary He also handed over the documents.

“This damn weather is really killing me. A few days ago, it was still cold with the rain. When it gets hot, it really is killer. Director Su, have a glass of water.”

Secretary He looked at Su Chen’s gloomy face and handed a glass of water to Su Chen’s hand. After holding it in for a long time, he finally could not help but say, “Chief Huang didn’t have a choice. Chief Su, this matter is a little serious. No one would have thought that it was Master Li who crashed into someone from the military first. The one who died, Staff Officer Zhang, was Division Commander Feng’s distant nephew. The military also wants to hold him accountable. I just asked around and two calls were made to Chief Huang. He even scolded Chief Huang to the point of swearing. How good could Chief Huang’s temper be? Chief Su, don’t be angry. This matter still needs to be dealt with properly. It won’t be good if we offend both sides.”

Secretary He was also very helpless. No one had expected this accident to be so serious. The reason it was so serious was because the people who had died were all people of status and had people backing them up. Now, it was wearing out those who were caught in the middle.

“I also want to think of a way to achieve the best of both worlds. This matter has become so serious that it has been thrown to me.”

Su Chen raised his hand and rubbed the space between his eyebrows with a headache.

“Yes, now the anger is directed at us. It’s as if we are the ones who killed people, Chief Su. But... otherwise, let’s look for Mr. Su...”

“Alright, don’t just go looking for him all the time. I’ll handle my own matters. He can’t be bothered with these things.”

Before Secretary He could finish his words, Su Chen interrupted him.

Secretary He naturally understood the kind of person Su Chen was. In official work, he and his father, Su Zhengxun, did not interfere with each other. When the provincial office held a meeting, father and son would sometimes meet, however, the father and son pretended not to know each other and each had their own circles.

It was not easy for Su Chen to climb to his current position. Many people also knew that he was Su Zhengxun’s son, so there were many people who secretly accused him of relying on his nepotism. Chief Du from the south of the city was one of them. Because of this matter, Su Chen was very angry, after taking office, he almost never went to look for Su Zhengxun.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“I misspoke, Chief Su!”

Noticing that Su Chen’s expression was very ugly, Secretary He took a deep breath and said slowly.

Su Chen waved his hand, “Alright, don’t mention my father in front of me anymore. He’s in a critical period now, I don’t want anything to go wrong. This matter had to be properly dealt with. Send someone to the military area to take a look. Chief Huang said that these funerals will be done in the next two days and that the military area would send someone to follow up on the work. Staff Officer Zhang who died was not simple, he was an important spy in the military district. This time, we are in big trouble. Cooperate with the investigation team and get the details of those people’s identities. Organize a copy and send it to me. When those people come over, I will have an explanation. Also, make sure to console the families.”

Su Chen also took a deep breath. He suppressed the anger in his heart and gave an explanation to Secretary He.

Secretary He nodded. “Yes, I’ll do it right away.”

He heaved a sigh of relief and quickly left as well.

Seeing Secretary He’s figure disappear out the door, Su Chen leaned back in his chair. His phone vibrated at this moment. When he saw that it was Ji Zitong calling, Su Chen quickly picked up—

“What’s wrong?” A deep voice was heard.

“I’m at the Ujima Cafè in the square opposite your office. Come out and have a cup of coffee with me. It’s after work anyway.”

Ji Zitong’s voice was heard. “I just saw you and Secretary He return.”

“When did you find such enthusiasm? You want to treat me to coffee?” Su Chen asked with interest.

“I just closed a good deal and signed a contract. I’m in a good mood and just happened to pass by,” Ji Zitong explained.

“Wait ten minutes.” Su Chen quickly hung up after saying this. He got up, grabbed his phone, and left his office.

When he rushed over, Ji Zitong had already ordered the coffee and some snacks. Su Chen sat down opposite her. He wiped his hands, picked up the coffee, and took a sip.

“You didn’t look too good from earlier. Now that I look at you, you do seem tense. Who made you angry now?”

Ji Zitong moved the plate of snacks in front of him. “It’s not sweet. Try It.”

“I don’t like these things. I’ll tell you about it when I get back tonight. Are you still getting back to the office later?”

Su Chen had never liked these snacks.

“I want to go home for a while. Can you drive over later to pick me up?”

“Didn’t you drive over?” Su Chen asked.

“I got into mother’s car, then I was dropped off here.”

Ji Zitong looked at Su Chen innocently.

“I was wondering why you were in the mood to treat me to coffee. However, it’s been a while since I’ve visited them. Since there’s still some time left, I’ll go buy some things for them to bring over. I’ll go over for dinner tonight.”
