Chapter 818: Chapter 818: Wang Changdong’s Opportunity Has Arrived
The county magistrate was decisive and swift in action; once he made a decision, he promptly handled the transition of duties on the spot.
The rest was left to Shu Yu, as the magistrate couldn’t be of help regarding the registration files.
It was getting late, he exchanged a few words with Shu Yu and then stood up to take his leave.
Shu Yu and Wang Changdong walked him out together. Arriving at the door, the county magistrate suddenly stopped, looked up at Wang Changdong, sized him up for a moment, nodded slightly, and said, “Visit the county office in a couple of days, I have matters to discuss with you.”
“Yes, Lord,” Wang Changdong hastily responded.
When the county magistrate had left, Wang Changdong, with a puzzled expression, asked, “What does the Lord want with me? Can’t it be said now?”
Shu Yu turned around, looked at him twice, and spoke softly, “He’s looking for you, surely it must be something good.”
“Something good?” Wang Changdong was stunned.
Shu Yu chuckled, “Haven’t you always wanted to transfer to the county town? Now is your chance.”
After saying that, she turned and went back inside the manor.
Wang Changdong stood there, pletely dumbfounded.
What did Lady Lu say? That he could be transferred to the county town?
At that moment, excited, he jumped up and then quickly turned and ran inside, “Lady Lu, ah, no, Monarch Lu Xiang, did you really just say that? That I, I really…”
Shu Yu turned her head and blinked at him, “I only said there’s a chance.”
Wang Changdong abruptly paused, right, right, right, nothing is confirmed yet, he shouldn’t be spreading it around. If something goes wrong along the way, it would be embarrassing.
However, since Lady Lu dared to say so, it must be almost certain that he would be transferred to the county town.
Just two more days, he could wait for two more days.
Wang Changdong chuckled to himself, he knew it—there’s benefit in following Lady Lu, he didn’t believe this opportunity was unrelated to her.
Wang Changdong quickly caught up with Shu Yu, smiling as he said, “Speaking of which, I haven’t even had the chance to congratulate you yet. Not only were you cleared of charges, but you also became a Village Chief, it’s really…”
He couldn’t find the right words, so he just gave a thumbs up and said, “It’s really amazing.”
Shu Yu couldn’t help but laugh, “I owe a lot to your care, which gave me sufficient time and energy. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to produce something like the Heating Pack, and there would be no today.”
“It’s embarrassing to hear you say that.”
The two entered the living room, and the Xu Family, a family of three, was still standing there.
Seeing Shu Yu return, Xu Dali immediately knelt down with his wife and child.
Shu Yu was quite startled, “What are you doing? Get up quickly.”
Xu Dali stood up but still spoke respectfully, “Thank you, Village Chief, for giving me such an opportunity to switch to an easier job.”
Shu Yu waved her hand, “You have earned this yourself. If you were illiterate, I couldn’t even remend you. Live well in the future and it won’t be a waste of my effort.”
“Yes, we will work hard.”
Shu Yu then looked at Xu Zhensheng, seeing his hesitant expression, she raised an eyebrow, “What’s the matter?”
“Monarch Lu Xiang, are you going back to your hometown? Then, is Dahu also leaving?”
Shu Yu knew that although Xu Zhensheng and Dahu hadn’t known each other for long, they had developed a remarkably close bond. It was normal for him to feel reluctant.
She nodded, “Yes, Dahu is also leaving. If you miss him, you can correspond with him in the future.”
With Xu Dali taking on this new job, the Xu Family’s conditions improved, and occasionally corresponding shouldn’t be a problem.
