Wu Haiyan tilted her pretty face, stared at Fang Zhicheng carefully, and suddenly asked: "County Magistrate Fang, I want to ask you a question, do you have no interest in me at all?"

"Ah?" Fang Zhicheng obviously didn't expect Wu Haiyan to ask him this, and he stuttered, "Of course... no..."

Wu Haiyan smiled and said, "You told the truth. I know you like me. All men are the same. They can't control themselves when they see beautiful women. Although you are not as naked as other men, I understand. If you don't like me, why do so many things for me? There is no free lunch in the world. You have always taken good care of me. In the final analysis, you still hope to trick me into bed, right?"

Fang Zhicheng was a little embarrassed by Wu Haiyan's questioning. Wu Haiyan was a sensitive woman.

Fang Zhicheng explained: "Mr. Wu, I do admire you. Everyone loves beauty. I admit that I have fantasies about you, and that is human nature. However, I am also a person with a moral bottom line, and I will not do things that destroy other people's families."

Wu Haiyan suddenly stared at Fang Zhicheng in a daze, sighed softly, and said seriously: "County Magistrate Fang, please remember your words and don't destroy my family. Although my family is not complete, Yang Zhao and I have a good relationship. Even if he can never stand up again in his life, I will not abandon him. Because he is my lover..."

After saying this, Wu Haiyan turned around and left decisively and unwillingly.

Fang Zhicheng stared at Wu Haiyan, pondering her somewhat puzzling words, and looked at her back in silence.

Why don't you keep some things in your heart instead of saying them so bluntly

How awkward would it be when they met again

Fang Zhicheng changed his mind and was suddenly shocked. Wu Haiyan said so much, but in fact she also wanted to cut off something from him.

Perhaps Wu Haiyan had feelings for me, but she didn't want to do anything to let her husband down, so she used another method to force me to stay away from her.

Yes, this possibility is very high. Wu Haiyan was guilty and timid. She was afraid that she would fall further after further contact with him, so she would expose the window paper early and stop getting close to Fang Zhicheng.

Fang Zhicheng stared at the beautiful figure gradually disappearing in the dancing snow, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The Spring Festival arrived as scheduled, and Qin Yuming and Fang Zhicheng returned to the small house in Yinzhou to celebrate the New Year. On the second day of the New Year, Qin Yuming received a call from her hometown, asking her to take Fang Zhicheng home with her. It had been almost two years since Qin Yuming's divorce, and her parents had basically accepted the fact that Qin Yuming was divorced. Although Qin Yuming tried her best to say that she didn't have a boyfriend for the time being, Qin's mother still found out about Fang Zhicheng.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Fang Zhicheng came to Qin's house with various New Year's goods. Qin's father was the vice-principal of a local middle school. He wore glasses and looked a bit serious. As for Qin's mother, she was the director of women's affairs in the village. Although she was over 50 years old, she was well maintained and looked very similar to Qin Yuming.

Qin Yuming also has a younger brother named Qin Lang, who is eight years younger than her and is still studying at university. He is not very tall, just over 1.7 meters, but he is handsome and looks quite gentle. Although the Qin family is not rich, they are well-educated and well-mannered, so they are polite to Fang Zhicheng, which also dispels Fang Zhicheng's worries.

In the evening, Qin Yuming cooked a table of dishes. Mother Qin took out the fine wine that had been sealed for many years. Qin Lang also wanted to drink, but his mother did not let him. Father Qin smiled and said, "It's rare for the family to get together. Qin Lang is not young anymore. It's okay to let him drink a little."

Qin Lang sniffed and smiled, "That's right! I'll graduate next year, and you still think of me as a child!"

Mother Qin smiled bitterly and said, "Then drink less. You are not allowed to get drunk."

Qin Lang patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, I can drink a lot."

Fang Zhicheng was a guest, so he was relatively low-key. However, Qin's father was very enthusiastic and kept toasting Fang Zhicheng. Qin Yuming was a little worried that Fang Zhicheng would get drunk, so he smiled and said, "Dad, Zhicheng's alcohol tolerance is average, so let him drink less."

Father Qin waved his hand and said, "Xiao Fang is a civil servant, and he is in the officialdom. How can he not drink a lot? If he can't drink, he needs to practice hard."

If Fang Zhicheng were in a formal setting, he would have a thousand ways to refuse, but in response to the invitation from his future father-in-law, he had no choice but to accept it.

Qin Lang raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion: "Brother-in-law, are you a civil servant? Which department are you in?"

Hearing the word "brother-in-law", Qin Yuming's pretty face turned red. Seeing Fang Zhicheng giving her a smug look, she felt mixed emotions. She obviously didn't think about her family and accepted Fang Zhicheng so easily.

When Qin Yuming introduced Fang Zhicheng's occupation to Qin's father and mother, he only mentioned lightly that Fang Zhicheng worked in the government. He did not tell the two elderly people the details of his position because he was afraid that the two elderly people would spread rumors outside. They had many relatives in their family. If they knew that Fang Zhicheng was the deputy county magistrate, they would definitely ask Fang Zhicheng for help if something happened. So Qin Yuming did not really want Qin's father and mother to know Fang Zhicheng's real position, and only gave a brief introduction.

Fang Zhicheng smiled faintly and said, "I work in the Dongtai County Government..."

Qin Lang's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Dongtai is a good place. It is now the number one county in Yinzhou. I plan to take the civil service exam in Dongtai after graduation."

Mother Qin frowned and said, "Why Dongtai? Wouldn't it be better to take the exam in the city?"

Qin Lang smiled and said, "Mom, this is what you don't know. Dongtai now has unlimited potential, and the civil servants are recognized to have the highest salary. Moreover, unlike other local governments, they do not employ people based on seniority. As long as you have the ability, you can show your strengths."

Qin Yuming glanced at Fang Zhicheng and saw that he remained calm. She thought to herself that Fang Zhicheng was really able to sit still. She whispered, "Brother, what's so good about being a civil servant? If you can't find a good job after graduation, go to my company. I think enterprises are the place where people can be trained."

Qin Lang shook his head and said with a smile: "Sister, you don't understand us men. What's money? Power is above money. With power, you can have anything you want."

Seeing that Qin Lang's words were a bit rude, Qin's father frowned and scolded him, "Don't be too ambitious, be down-to-earth in everything."

Qin Lang curled his lips and raised his eyebrows, saying, "Young people have ambitions, ideals and goals, how come they are so ambitious!"

Fang Zhicheng smiled and tried to smooth things over, saying, "Since Qin Lang wants to take the civil service exam, he should prepare actively for the exam tomorrow, March or April. As long as he passes the written test, I will help Qin Lang find someone to smooth things over."

When Mother Qin heard Fang Zhicheng say this, she immediately smiled and said repeatedly: "It is said that it is difficult to get into the civil service if you don't have acquaintances inside. If Xiao Fang can help Qin Lang, it would be great."

Who doesn’t want their children to have a stable job? Working in the government with a stable job is undoubtedly the best choice.

Chapter 0401 The sound insulation effect is not very good

After dinner, Qin Lang entered the bedroom, and soon the sound of a rumbling subwoofer was heard. Qin Yuming explained in a low voice: "Excuse me, my brother loves music and has set up a recording studio at school. It's called Kagami Music Valley. He usually helps people edit music when he goes home, and everyone is used to it."

Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Songshen Le Rengu, the name is not bad, but the recording studio business is very expensive, right?"

Qin Yuming shook her head and said, "I don't know how he managed it, but he never asked his family for money during his junior and senior years."

Fang Zhicheng thought to himself that Qin Lang was unusual, and wondered, "Since he is good at music, why would he want to take the civil service exam? It's really a bit strange."

Qin Yuming smiled slightly and sighed, "Isn't it because being a civil servant is a stable job? That's what he said. 'Utsugami Rakutengu' can only be a hobby. If you want to gain respect from others, you have to have a proper career."
