NOVPUBHearing Chen Nan was angry, Wang Li said with a smile, "Husband, don’t be mad, okay? I’ll go, okay?"
"That’s more like it, you come pick me up after five."
She had already thought it through and decided to ask the hospital leaders for leave.
Even if it displeased the hospital leaders, she couldn’t afford to upset Chen Nan.
After all, 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝔠𝔬𝖒
Everything she had now was brought to her by Chen Nan.
"That’s better!" Chen Nan’s face also broke into a bright smile, "Let’s leave it at that, I’m going to take a shower, and later I’ll pick you up after work."
After some small talk,
Chen Nan hung up the phone, took a change of clothes, and entered the bathroom.
Half an hour later.
Shortly after,
Chen Nan emerged clad in an elegantly understated moon-white traditional casual outfit.
The top had a cross-collar design, its simple and smooth lines outlining his upright figure. The exquisite knot buttons, like little art pieces, exuded an antique charm.
The sleeves were slightly loose, gently swaying with his movements, as if he could take off with the wind at any moment.
The trousers were matching in color, straight-cut and full of drape, accentuating the length and straightness of his legs.
Around his waist was a pale blue belt, perfectly highlighting his slender midsection.
This traditional casual outfit maintained the essence of the traditional style while incorporating modern fashion elements, adding a unique charm to his handsome and rebellious demeanor.
His features were so strikingly handsome they nearly seemed unreal, with arching brows slanting into temples and deep, bright eyes like ink, as if housing endless stars and seas.
Below his tall nose, his thin lips curved slightly upward, sketching a subtle smile that was both rebellious and enigmatically elusive.
His skin was as fair as snow, fragile as a baby’s to the touch.
The headband and hairpins he wore added a touch of his unyielding spirit.
His entire presence emanated a cool and noble quality, as if he were an Immortal living in seclusion, untouched by the mundane world.
"With this appearance and charisma, no wonder so many women like me!" Chen Nan said, looking at himself in the mirror with a faint smile.
He then put on a pair of cloth shoes, grabbed the keys to the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, and left the splendid future, stopping by the supermarket at the entrance to buy two bottles of Jiannanchun, before driving to the hospital entrance.
After waiting for less than ten minutes, Wang Li walked out of the hospital with a bag on her back, her face alight with a smile.
Seeing Chen Nan’s Mercedes-Benz G-Class, she couldn’t help but quicken her pace.
She was dressed in a black blouse, its simple design failing to hide her elegant demeanor.
The black fabric was like the curtain of night, mysterious and profound. The slightly open neckline casually revealed a hint of delicate skin, emanating a subtle and restrained charm.
She paired it with a grey hip-hugging skirt that clung tightly to her curves, beautifully showcasing the softness and elegance of femininity.
Beneath the hem, long beautiful legs peeked out here and there, like stunning sceneries shrouded in mist, provoking curiosity while adding a mysterious allure through modest concealment.
Every step she took seemed to carry a unique rhythm, light and graceful, her full bosom trembling enticingly with each movement.
She opened the car door and sat down in the passenger seat, teasing with a smile, "So you really are still driving the big G!"
There’s a saying online, "Scumbags drive the G-Class."
"And trashy women drive the Benz E-Class."
So, she felt this car suit Chen Nan quite well.
Chen Nan just shrugged with a smile, and then turned the car towards Nanhu.
"By the way, has your ex-boyfriend been bothering you these past few days?" Chen Nan suddenly thought of Wang Li’s ex-boyfriend, that guy named Li Xiang.
Upon hearing the words "ex-boyfriend," Wang Li’s face revealed a worried look, "He hasn’t come to harass me, but I heard he’s entered the Organization Department."
"He’s entered the Organization Department?" Chen Nan was full of surprise, "If I remember correctly, that guy seemed to be working abroad, right? And he doesn’t have an official position, so how could he enter the Organization Department?"
"That’s unreasonable!"
Wang Li gave a bitter smile, "Although he doesn’t hold an official position, his family has money! They could easily come up with ten or twenty million. These days, as long as you have money, what problems can’t you solve?"
Chen Nan replied, "What you’re saying makes sense, but isn’t this the same as buying an official position in ancient times? That’s a big taboo in officialdom!"
As he finished speaking, he suddenly fell silent.
The officialdom in Jizhou had been reshuffled, and now many positions were vacant, with some officials whose power backgrounds were unclear being parachuted in.
This was indeed the most chaotic and dark time for Jizhou’s officialdom.
At such a time, it was within reason for any kind of event to occur.
Still.
For an ordinary person without an official position to suddenly become part of the Organization Department, that seemed a bit like a fantasy.
Changing the subject, Chen Nan said, "Let’s not talk about that for now. I’ll take you out for a picnic and introduce you to a friend."
Wang Li felt a wave of displeasure because she only wanted to be with Chen Nan and didn’t like eating with people she didn’t know.
However, she didn’t show it.
An hour later.
Chen Nan drove his Mercedes to the camping area by South Lake.
This was a feature of South Lake.
Every Saturday, Sunday or on public holidays, lots of people would come here to barbecue and picnic.
The atmosphere was always quite nice.
Nonetheless.
There usually weren’t many people here during the workweek.
From afar, Chen Nan could see Li Yao and Lu Yuanyang, who were busy tending to the barbecue.
They were dressed in tank tops and shorts, wearing sandals, looking very ordinary and not at all like high-ranking government officials.
At that moment, both of them were sweating profusely as they worked at starting the fire for the barbecue.
"Hey, you guys got here early!" Chen Nan got out of the car, greeted them with a smile, and then took out the alcohol he’d bought on the way.
Wang Li also opened the passenger door and stepped out.
When she saw Lu Yuanyang and Li Yao, her eyes immediately revealed an undeniable shock.
She had never dreamed that Chen Nan’s friends would turn out to be the City Party Secretary and his secretary.
Not only that, but they had also arrived early to busy themselves with preparing the fire.
"We live nearby, so we thought we’d come over early and start cooking the meat," Lu Yuanyang said with a smile, then, noticing the nervous expression on Wang Li’s face and realizing she recognized their identities, he casually spoke, "Wang Li, today’s gathering is informal, no need to be tense."
"If you don’t mind, just call me Uncle Lu!"
It was the first time Lu Yuanyang had met Wang Li, but he had seen her photo before and knew that she was close friends with Chen Nan.
Flattered, Wang Li called out "Uncle Lu."
But at that moment.
Wang Li’s phone began to ring, displaying the number of Dean Qi, making her frown, wondering why Dean Qi was calling her.
Even so, she answered the call.
The next moment, a somber voice came from the phone, "Comrade Wang Li, do you still respect discipline? Do you still recognize the hierarchy of the organization? Who gave you permission to leave work?"
