Chapter 340
"Comrade Li, have a seat! I'm really sorry for earlier, it was my mistake for not recognizing someone of your stature! Please don't hold it against me!"
The man warmly welcomed again.
"Oh!"
Li Jingshu sat down in a daze, still not fully comprehending.
"Brother Zhang, what are you doing? Was that call from Section Chief Luo? What was the order? What did Section Chief Luo say? Whose order?"
Chen Jiaxu snapped out of it, his face was flushed with anger.
This was a blatant slap in the face in public!
He was even more puzzled, clearly this person surnamed Li had no relations, just a grassroots countryside cadre, how could this stir up Section Chief Luo, and furthermore, not even saving him any face.
Typically, out of respect for his father's position, Section Chief Luo would treat him, a newbie in the department, with courtesy.
"Jiaxu! Just don't ask about this, I don't know either. Section Chief Luo didn't say, but I guess it's something important, don't make it hard on me, I have to follow Section Chief Luo's orders."
The man pulled him aside and whispered.
Chen Jiaxu's face turned even nastier, his fists clenched tightly, and then looking at Li Jingshu, he sneered, "I thought you were really high and mighty! And you're saying I only rely on my dad, aren't you the same! Who do you know? Did you get your connections by sleeping around?"
"You... watch your mouth!"
Li Jingshu's face turned crimson with rage, "Who slept around, I, Li Jingshu, have no such thing to be ashamed of!"
"Oh really?"
Chen Jiaxu scoffed, "Then where did your connections come from, making calls directly to Section Chief Luo, such authority!"
"This... has nothing to do with me, I don't know either, it's him! His family has some connections!"
Li Jingshu pointed towards Xia Bei at the door, not mentioning if he knew any big officials because she wasn't sure if the boasts about knowing Jiang City's top person were true, it seemed too absurd.
However, he should know some people, but probably not at too high a level.
"Him?"
Chen Jiaxu was taken aback, not expecting it.
Squinting to take a closer look, he scrutinized with an unfriendly gaze, "Hey! What does your family do? What's your name? If you have the guts, give your name!"
Xia Bei glanced at him, not bothering to respond.
Actually, he was also a bit puzzled, he hadn't even contacted Sister Yang yet, and suddenly things took a turn for the better, the person who called Section Chief Luo was definitely not someone he sought out.
How strange!
Seeing him with a cold expression, Chen Jiaxu's face darkened, his eyes filled with resentment.
It was all this kid, ruining his good plans!
He refused to believe that this kid truly had some significant background; he would have to investigate thoroughly and then give him a good beating, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to swallow his anger.
After staring for a moment, he snorted angrily and stomped off with a gloomy face.
Things were handled swiftly, and Xia Bei followed Li Jingshu out.
"Didn't expect it, huh! You do have some connections!"
Li Jingshu turned around, looking awkward.
Her pride made her reluctant to bow her head to this idler, and it felt embarrassing!
"I told you, you didn't believe me! Do you believe it now?"
Xia Bei snorted.
"I only believe it halfway, knowing Secretary Chang, who would believe that, you're full of it! I'm not an idiot!" Li Jingshu rolled her eyes, sheepishly, "But still, thank you, if it weren't for you, today would've been wasted again, and that guy..."
"Hey! Let me treat you to a meal! Just to thank you, what do you want to eat tonight?"
"Meal? What's there to eat, if you really want to thank me, let me treat your ailment instead!" seeing her still somewhat haughty demeanor, Xia Bei felt annoyed and teased deliberately.
"Ailment? What ailment?"
Li Jingshu was puzzled, then looked down towards her groin, her bright face flushed instantaneously, embarrassed and angry, "Oh, you pervert, trying to take advantage of me?"
"No treatment, then no treatment! I'm too lazy to treat you anyway!"
"You..."
"You what!"
Li Jingshu gritted her silver teeth, trembling with anger, this kid tortured her on purpose yesterday in revenge, and now he's teasing her again. So infuriating! She didn't feel like treating him to a meal at all!
Treating her ailment, touch where?
In his dreams!
Thinking he'll get away with it!
She huffed, turned her head, and stormed off, but then a returning itch flared between her legs, growing stronger and making her walking posture awkward, itching so badly she wanted to reach in and scratch hard.
The ointment wasn't working, it's getting itchier!
What should she do if this continues!
She had to work and couldn't just scratch in public during work, how embarrassing!
Moreover, the bite was in the most delicate spot of her womanly area, scratching it would break the skin and cause bleeding, and what if it left a scar in the future! How unsightly!
She stopped, clenching her legs and trembling gently, internally weighed with distress and struggle.
This ailment was too embarrassing, too torturous, yet she couldn't accept letting an almost stranger touch her most private, precious area.
Especially this somewhat annoying guy!
But after weighing her options for a long time, for her job, she finally made up her mind, turned around with a flushed face, and stammered, "Hey! Why don't you treat me then! I... I'm really at my limit, the itch below... it's affecting my work, I'm letting you treat it for work, not for any other reason..."
She spoke shyly, her cheeks flaming red like they could drip blood, exuding infinite allure and shyness, leaving Xia Bei momentarily stunned, his heart racing, gazing towards her groin at that raised, full-bodied hill, swallowing hard, his blood boiling...
