Chapter 818: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 818: Wang Changdong's Opportunity Arrives
The county magistrate wasted no time in taking action once he made a decision. He handled the succession matters on the spot. The rest was left to Shu Yu, as the Prefect couldn't assist with the registration of the roster.
It was getting late, and after a few more words with Shu Yu, the county magistrate bid farewell and left.
Shu Yu and Wang Changdong accompanied him to the door. Suddenly, the county magistrate stopped, raised his gaze, and scrutinized Wang Changdong from head to toe. He nodded slightly and said, "Come to the Prefectural Office in a few days. I have something to discuss with you."
"Yes, Your Excellency," Wang Changdong hurriedly replied.
Once the county magistrate had left, Wang Changdong stood there with a puzzled expression. "Why does the county magistrate want to see me? Can't it be discussed now?"
Shu Yu turned her head and glanced at him, speaking softly, "When he wants to see you, it must be good news."
"Good news?" Wang Changdong was stunned.
Shu Yu chuckled, "Haven't you always wanted to transfer to the county town? Your opportunity has come."
After saying that, she turned around and returned to the manor.
Wang Changdong stood there, dumbfounded.
What did Miss Lu say? Did she say he could transfer to the county seat? He immediately jumped up with excitement. After regaining his composure, he hurriedly turned and ran back inside. "Miss Lu, uh, no, village chief Lu, did you really mean what you just said? I, I really..."
Shu Yu turned her head and blinked at him. "I just said there's an opportunity."
Wang Changdong suddenly stopped in his tracks. Yes, yes, the matter wasn't confirmed yet. He couldn't go around shouting about it, or he would embarrass himself if something went wrong along the way.
However, since Miss Lu dared to say it, it was almost a sure thing that he would be transferred to the county seat.
Just two more days of patience, and it would become a reality.
Wang Changdong smirked. He knew that he had the chance to reap the benefits by following Miss Lu. He didn't believe that he had obtained this opportunity without Miss Lu's involvement.
Wang Changdong caught up to Shu Yu with three or four strides and laughed, "By the way, I haven't had a chance to congratulate you yet. Not only were you acquitted, but you also became a village lord. It's really..."
He couldn't find the right words to describe it, so he simply gave a thumbs-up and said, "It's truly amazing."
Shu Yu couldn't help but smile. "I owe it to your care. You gave me enough time and energy. Without you, I couldn't have produced something like the heating packs, and I wouldn't be where I am today."
"You're being too modest."
The two of them entered the main hall, and the Xu family of three were still standing there.
When they saw Shu Yu return, Xu Dali immediately knelt down with his wife and child.
Shu Yu was startled. "What are you doing? Get up quickly."
Xu Dali stood up, but still respectfully said, "Thank you, village chief, for giving me this opportunity and allowing me to switch to an easier job."
Shu Yu waved her hand. "It's your own merit. If you couldn't read, I wouldn't have been able to recommend you. Live a good life from now on, and it won't be in vain for me to have put in the effort."
"Yes, we will work hard."
Shu Yu looked at Xu Zhensheng, who had a hesitant expression, and raised her eyebrows. "What's the matter?"
"village chief, are you going back to your hometown? Will Da Hu also leave?"
Shu Yu thought about her relatively short acquaintance with Xu Zhensheng and Da Hu, but they had developed a rare camaraderie. It was normal to feel reluctant to part ways.
She nodded. "Yes, Da Hu will also leave. If you can't bear it, you can communicate with him in the future."
With Xu Dali having a new job, it would be no problem to occasionally correspond once their family's circumstances improved.
