to treat Old Zhang as a fraud. Hahaha... this is too interesting!" Upon seeing Xiao Yu when he sat down on the sofa, Master Li’s restrained laughter welled up again.“Hmm..............” At this moment,...Chapter 793: Breaking Out of the Divine Prohibition Domain (Grand Finale)
Outside the Department of Health in Deep Sea City, a man in his fifties and a woman in her thirties were standing there, occasionally checking their watches as if they were waiting for something.
"Xiao Li, what time is it" The fifty-something-year-old man couldn't help but ask when he saw the woman looking at her watch.
"Director Liu, it's five minutes to 8:30!" Upon hearing the man's words, the thirty-something-year-old woman quickly smiled and replied.
These two people were Director Liu Zhen from the Ancient City Department of Health and Xiao Li (Li Qing), one of Yun Xi’s subordinates. The day before yesterday, they had arrived in Deep Sea along with Yun Xi. After having breakfast this morning, they came here very early.
A few months ago, when Ancient City decided to have Yun Xi handle the 50 million yuan grant from the Health Bureau, her rank was upgraded from clerk to deputy section chief.
Although Yun Xi's position as a deputy section chief wasn't high-ranking, she wielded considerable power. Back then, Ancient City thought that getting even one million yuan would be a blessing, but eventually, thanks to Yun Xi, they obtained a five-million-yuan grant from the Health Bureau. This was unprecedented not just in Ancient City, but nationwide; it was unheard of for a department like the Health Bureau to voluntarily increase its funding.
What seemed impossible before now happened because of Yun Xi. Moreover, since the Health Bureau designated Yun Xi as the person responsible for this fund and announced that it could only be used for its intended purpose and no one else could divert it, her status was evident.
In this situation, Yun Xi's position as a deputy section chief suddenly gained special significance within Ancient City’s Department of Health.
Everyone knew that running to the ministry was difficult, especially when trying to get money from them. Now that there is someone who can secure funding from the ministry, these officials in Ancient City naturally treat her with reverence.
Moreover, there are quite a few people supporting Yun Xi in Cloud City, and it's even said that the city’s Secretary has taken notice of her.
"Little Li, give Director Yun a call to see if she's arrived yet!" After a while, Liu Zhen saw that Yun Xi hadn't come yet. He couldn't help but tell Li Qing beside him.
Although he was the vice mayor, because of Yun Xi’s unique position in both the Health Bureau and Cloud City, he didn’t dare to be negligent either. Otherwise, how could he have been asked to arrive early and wait here Ignoring that she is just a deputy section chief, even if she were a powerful section chief with authority, they wouldn't let him come here first.
"Alright, Director Liu! I'll call right away!"
“Squeak...” Hearing Liu Zhen’s words, Li Qing took out her phone to make the call. She had already called earlier but now that the director told her to do it again, there was nothing she could do about it. However, just as she pulled out her phone, a car's braking sound rang beside them.
Upon hearing this brake sound, Liu Zhen and Li Qing turned their heads around.
"Director Yun! You've arrived!"
"Yun Xi, why are you so late"
When the two saw Yun Xi stepping out of her car, Li Qing smiled at her while saying, and Liu Zhen said with a hint of displeasure.
In fact, Liu Zhen knew that he couldn't do anything to Yun Xi. But this time it was under his name as team leader. And regardless of how special Yun Xi’s position is, he himself is the director and nominally her superior. Therefore, he needs to display his authority as a director.
"Director Liu, I'm sorry, something came up on the way!" Upon hearing what Liu Zhen said, Yun Xi appeared apologetic and responded.
Although these people couldn't do anything to her, work is work, and keeping others waiting was her mistake. Therefore, she remained very polite; besides, Yun Xi wasn’t someone who would become overbearing with success. In the Old City Health Bureau, although Yun Xi held a particularly unique status, she always treated her superiors and subordinates sincerely, which made her quite popular among her colleagues.
Hearing Yun Xi’s words, Liu Zhen's expression softened slightly; he wasn't truly angry, even if it was late because of her. He would still be helpless in such a situation.
"Haha, no problem. Let's hurry inside! We've made an agreement with the other party and being late isn’t ideal!" After hearing Yun Xi’s words, Liu Zhen chuckled lightly and said. Since Yun Xi was showing him respect now, he would take it gracefully.
"Xiao Yu, you can go back first! I'll head home tonight myself!" Hearing what Liu Zhen had to say, Yun Xi turned around towards Xiao Yu who stood beside her and spoke.
Only after hearing Yun Xi's words did Liu Zhen notice Xiao Yu. After glancing at him, he then looked over at the car Xiao Yu was driving and asked, "Yun Xi, may I ask who this is Aren't you going to introduce us"
"Haha, Director Liu, right Nice to meet you! My name is Xiao Yu, Yun Xi's fiancé. From now on, please take care of Yun Xi in the Old City!" Without waiting for Yun Xi to speak, upon hearing Liu Zhen’s words, Xiao Yu stepped forward and extended his hand with a light chuckle towards Liu Zhen.
Hearing Xiao Yu’s introduction, Liu Zhen's eyes lit up. He reached out his hand and said, "Nice to meet you! Indeed, we all need Yun to look after us, hahaha!"
Previously, they had speculated why Yun Xi held such significant influence; considering her background as an Old City native which was generally known among them, they guessed that her boyfriend might wield considerable power. Another theory was that Yun Xi was being kept by a high-ranking official.
In addition to these speculations, there were also rumors circulating in the city that Yun Xi was being supported by Wan Hongguang and even more detailed stories about this. Of course, there were also whispers that she might be kept by some high-ranking official or wealthy young master from Beijing.
Therefore, when Liu Zhen saw Xiao Yu at this moment, he felt that Xiao Yu was the person supporting Yun Xi financially and that they were taking advantage of this opportunity to meet secretly.
As for Xiao Yu saying that he was Yun Xi's fiancé, it was merely a statement. Generally speaking, these playboy sons would not marry someone like Yun Xi with an ordinary background. As for the term 'fiancé,' it was likely just to save face for Yun Xi.
"Young Master Xiao, we're going out on business today. I'll treat both of you to dinner tonight, please do come!" Liu Zhen said after shaking hands with Xiao Yu. Judging from Xiao Yu's demeanor, he felt that there was an 80% chance that Xiao Yu was a wastrel son in the capital city, so he quickly made his offer. Usually, people like this were hard to flatter and cater to, but now that he had such an opportunity, he naturally wanted to seize it.
"Haha, Director Liu is too kind. Tonight should be Yun Xi and me treating you as our boss!" Xiao Yu also chuckled after hearing Liu Zhen's words.
Xiao Yu did indeed plan on treating him to a meal, although he disliked all this politicking and socializing. However, since Yun Xi was now working under someone else, some interpersonal dealings were necessary.
Then Yun Xi introduced Xiao Yu to Li Qing. As Yun Xi's subordinate, Li Qing treated Xiao Yu with utmost respect. She used to be just an ordinary clerk who was bullied by her section chief due to her beauty. It was Yun Xi who picked her for the medical fund working group and raised her status within the bureau.
Her previous section chief had been lusting after her, hinting that if she submitted to him, he would recommend her as deputy section chief when they chose one. But Li Qing refused, so the section chief was furious and forced her to do menial tasks in retaliation.
But ever since Yun Xi selected her, no matter when or where they met, the former section chief who had been eyeing her would always be smiling and saying nice words to her.
After Xiao Yu exchanged greetings with them, Yun Xi walked into the Health Bureau with him.
Xiao Yu returned to his car after seeing them enter. Wan Sheng Hall wasn't that busy anymore since it had passed its membership day, and with Xiao Hongyang and Old Dai on duty there was no issue whether he went or not. Therefore, instead of going back to Wan Sheng Hall, he parked by the roadside to wait around (To be continued).uld not help but show profound expressions of alarm.Even though Jin Xianglin and his group did not know what was going on with their daughter's body, seeing these creatures moving like living beings i...
