Chapter 4: The Difficult-to-Enter Door, I Must Enter

  A crescent moon hung in the painful night sky, its dark body twisting. It was only three o'clock, and Lv Qingyun quietly got up, leaning on the small and low balcony, smoking one cigarette after another. The dark red ember of his cigarette flickered on and off, he hadn't slept all night. Because, he felt that recently, Village Chief Zhu Youshui had been pulling him, while Zheng Nanlun was also trying to win him over. Because they were both vying for the position of secretary.

  It is said that Zheng Xiang, the secretary of the village committee, is about to retire. He is already 59 years old and will soon be retiring.

  Lü Qingyun stroked the thick, green banknotes that Taozi had given him. Originally, he had planned to return them to her. Although he wasn't very rich, he couldn't accept a woman's money.

  Lü Qingyun scattered the money, and from among the banknotes, a piece of paper slipped out. On it was written in elegant handwriting: "Lü Qingyun, I believe you can make it through the officialdom, this is the capital I give you."

  "I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you, until you become a high-ranking official, then come and marry me. By that time, you owe me ten times, no, a hundred times more." Below was not written with names, but drawn a naked woman.

  Lü Qingyun saw that the woman was indeed Taizi. He tightly grasped the paper strip in his hand, gritted his teeth and slowly spat out a thread of blood from his mouth.

  Lü Qingyun punched the balcony with one fist, and this time, his fist was covered in blood. He stared at the bloody hand, and let out a low cry. "I must climb up, become the highest official, and take the most powerful path."

  Lü Qingyun stroked the purple stone with one hand, and suddenly realized that if he wanted to make progress, he had to rely on Zhou Dachong.

  This week, Da Chong might be his benefactor. Only by borrowing the east wind can he sail smoothly. Lü Qingyun put another cigarette in his mouth, he had already smoked two whole packs of cigarettes, usually, in a month, he would only smoke one pack, two packs, he didn't have a smoking addiction at all. A beautiful girl walked in, this girl had a high bun, shining with bright eyes. This girl was called Li Yangli, she was Lü Qingyun's subordinate.

  She twisted her slender waist, and those two long legs swayed. "Liu Xiangzhang, the inspection day is approaching soon, shall we prepare?"

  Li Yangli originally belonged to the Women's Federation and was recently seconded to work in this family planning department.

  Li Yang was reporting to him in a soft voice:

  Because Lü Qingyun not only grasped agriculture, but also had another job, which was the deputy director of family planning. This was deliberately arranged by Zhu Youcai to torment him, but Lü Qingyun did a great job in this position. He received good reviews from the county for several years, but his grasp on agriculture was not outstanding.

  In fact, Lü Qingyun only grasped the actual work but had no real power. The real power was still in Zhu Youcai's hands. It was just that Zhu Youcai made money, while he put in most of the effort.

  Lü Qingyun found out that the chairman, whose surname was Zhou and name was Zhou Dachong, liked money and beautiful women. However, Lü Qingyun didn't have much money or any beautiful women to offer. What could he possibly give?

  However, since they sent him to the county government, he should at least go and thank them.

  So, on this day, Lü Qingyun made a special effort to find out through his connections that Zhou Dachong was at home. He bought some high-quality tea leaves and drove his small car to Zhou's house. Lü Qingyun found that the house looked somewhat luxurious, but not extremely so, just slightly better than an ordinary person's home.

  Lü Qingyun didn't dare to enter directly, nor did he dare to knock on the door. He just hoped that someone would come out of this door. Only then would he have a chance to go in. Otherwise, it was possible that he wouldn't be able to get in at all.

  He had no choice but to wait quietly outside the door. He waited for a whole day, and it was about to get dark.

  A tall man came out of the door. Lv Qingyun recognized this person at a glance, and this person was the driver who wanted to hit him that day.

  The driver's name is Wu Tieli, a demobilized soldier who was originally a special forces operative and excelled at Sanshou. He had once won second place in the provincial Sanshou competition. That's why Zhou Dachun chose him as his driver.

  Lü Qingyun hastily walked over, "Big brother, it's been a long time."

  The driver gave him a sideways glance. "Don't call me big brother, do I know you?"

  "Big brother, you really are a noble person who forgets things easily. You forgot that I was the one who rode in your car to the rural government office that day."

  That big fellow slapped his forehead and suddenly remembered, "You are that Liu, Liu...". However, he couldn't recall what this person's name was.

  Lü Qingyun smiled. "My name is Lü Qingyun, I'm just a small village head. Big brother, when you have time, let's sit down together, have a drink, big brother, we two are particularly compatible." He took the opportunity to hand over a box of good cigarettes, which cost several hundred yuan per box.

  The big man took over the box of cigarettes, pulled out one, put it under his nose and sniffed. Then, lit it up, and took a nice drag.

  "How's your injury? Do you want to have it checked again?"

  Lü Qingyun's face lit up with a bright smile. "Big brother, I'm not hurt at all. You can rest assured."

  "My name is Wu Tieli, and with one punch I can break a stone." The driver shook his fist.

  "Yesterday, the chairman also asked me to take a look at you. I said it was nothing, and I didn't even bump into you."

  "By the way, what are you doing here?" The driver gave him a sideways glance.

  Lü Qingyun said: "I want to see the chairman of the board,"

  The driver said, "I'll go report first, you wait outside for my news." But then the driver turned around and said, "Our chairman usually doesn't meet with people of your level. Forget it." The driver shook his head and patted his hands together.

  Lü Qingyun's face was gloomy, this is really unlucky. Lü Qingyun said: "Brother, let's go somewhere to sit for a while, it's better to collide with the date than to choose a date."

  The driver shook his big head: "Dinner, I should invite you. You came to this place, it's my territory now, and I'm in charge here. However, there's no time today, next time you come, I'll treat you."

  Lü Qingyun had no choice but to turn around, he sighed. "Alas, it's really difficult." Lü Qingyun suddenly rushed towards the wall head.

  Wu Tieli hastily tightly hugged Lü Qingyun.

  "Liu brother, don't be like this. I've been a driver for so many years, it's the first time I've seen someone like you."

  Lü Qingyun shook her head. "My own fate is bad, I really want to be reborn again."

  Lü Qingyun said faintly, "My grandfather's name is Liu Nanlong."

  The driver suddenly came over and grabbed his hand. "You wait, I'll try to give you a report, but the possibility of seeing you is very small."

  Lü Qingyun nodded. "I believe you can definitely let the chairman see me, you are the most capable person I have ever seen." The rough driver rubbed his head.

  "I'll try my best, to be honest, this is also my first time doing something for someone like you? In the past, it was always high-ranking officials."
