Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Encounter with a Beautiful Lady Again "Stinky little brother, have you been partying every night back home?" Early in the morning, Zhang Caini’s call woke Lin Fan, who was still in a deep sleep with Chang Wanyun cuddled up to him. "How could that be? He didn’t say a word before he went ahead and renovated my house. I’m just fulfilling my promise to help Boss Xue with an article, which I was writing until late last night before I went to sleep." Lin Fan kissed Chang Wanyun, who had just opened her eyes, with a smile. A few days of nourishment had made her look much younger, especially with her sleepy, hazy eyes--truly an irresistibly charming beauty. "Do you think I would believe you, you heartbreaker?" Zhang Caini said with a laugh, "I just wanted to let you know, the work group from above didn’t leave until this morning. According to Old Zhu, the candidate should be decided by next week. I’ve done all the lobbying I can, but he still seems undecided. Especially since Mayor Hou’s situation, his relationship with Guo Baoming has become really tense. He has to be extra careful with this selection process because if Guo Baoming catches anything on him, it’ll be big trouble, so you better speed things up on your end as well." "I understand." Having Zhang Caini as an inside source, Lin Fan certainly had an edge. After all, regardless of who was chosen, it still had to be recommended by Zhu Defu, who was in charge of the project. Whether or not the candidate got through wasn’t his decision to make. These past two days, Chu Shihan had been slow to reply to messages and hadn’t suggested a video call, which Lin guessed was related to the visit by the work group. However, there wasn’t enough time yet for him to hand over the video of Guo Baoming; otherwise, all his previous efforts would be exposed. So, he needed to wait for the right moment to really heat things up for Zhu Defu. "So, are you going on a blind date now?" Watching Lin Fan end the call, Chang Wanyun wrapped him in her arms and asked with a smile. "Yeah, you know what my parents are like. In their eyes, pursuing an officialdom career is not as important as having grandkids. Now that my dad’s bedridden, I have to at least show my face." Lin Fan shrugged helplessly. He wasn’t going to agree to any blind date. After all, he had a whole week’s worth of women lined up, each one stunning in her own right. But to please his mom and dad, he still had to make the trip. "Alright, but I still think you should hurry up and find a girlfriend. I’ve been dozing off at work these past few days." Chang Wanyun told Lin Fan with a laugh, "Tonight, my son is coming over to sleep here, so I can’t keep you company. If the blind date goes well, you might as well bring her back. Give me a break too." "Wishful thinking!" Lin Fan chuckled and playfully pinched Chang Wanyun’s chest before pulling her into his arms for a long kiss, then let her go to work. After getting dressed, he stepped out of the big hotel. Although his secretary had prepared breakfast for him, Lin Fan went back to the noodle shop from yesterday, ordered a bowl, and sat down at the same table, hoping for another chance encounter with the fun-loving beautiful lady. Unfortunately, she didn’t show up. So, after filling up, Lin Fan drove towards the county city, but as he idly smoked his cigarette, he spotted a white figure by the roadside. It was the pretty lady he had met yesterday, and next to her, a pink sedan was flashing its hazard lights—it seemed to have broken down. "Need a hand?" As Lin Fan’s car pulled up next to the attractive young woman, he noticed today she was in wide-leg trousers and a spaghetti-strap tank top that hugged her fine figure. Her black hair draped over her shoulders added an elegant charm to her slender frame. "My car suddenly won’t start... I’m in a rush to get to the county... Mister, could you give me a ride? I’ll pay for it." The lady smoothed out her hair and leaned over the passenger-side door, the movement exposing the generous neckline of her loose top. Just a glance allowed Lin Fan to clearly see the black bra encasing her snowy peaks and the intoxicating cleavage. "I’m heading to the city myself, I can take you along; we’re all neighbors here, no need for money." It was obvious she didn’t recognize him. So Lin Fan smiled and gestured for her to join him, and the young woman quickly expressed her thanks. She then opened the rear car door and got in—a clear sign she was keeping her guard up. "You have an out-of-town license plate, are you here for a trip?" The beautiful young woman who got into the car asked curiously. "The car is from out of town, but the person driving doesn’t necessarily have to be from out of town. My old home is also in Lotus Town, I just work in the city area most of the time. What about you?" Lin Fan glanced at the beautiful face of the young woman in the rearview mirror, her long eyelashes like a natural beauty enhancement. The light pink eyeshadow made her bright eyes even more charming. The scent of her perfume was not strong, as enticing as her modest elegance. "I’m from Daxi Town originally and have been married over to this town for only a few years. It’s been a real hassle this time, but if I have the chance to encounter you in town later on, I will definitely treat you to a meal." The beautiful young woman was not shy at all and chatted sporadically with Lin Fan. Through their conversation, he got to know a bit about her situation. Her name was Bai Xue, and she had just transferred to the town to work as a teacher that year. Her husband was a member of the Publicity Committee of the town. "You’re a teacher in the town, so you must know Zhu Zhixuan. I come from the same village as her." Mentioning a mutual acquaintance naturally helped to quickly close the gap between them. Bai Xue relaxed noticeably and they chatted the whole way, arriving at the County City half an hour later. During that time, Lin Fan also managed to get Bai Xue’s contact information smoothly. "Just pull over here, I can hail a cab." Bai Xue said to Lin Fan, somewhat embarrassed. "Now how could I let that happen? Escorting a beautiful woman is a man’s lifelong glory. Where do you need to go? As long as there’s no door in the way, I promise to deliver you right to the table." Lin Fan laughed roguishly, but in his heart, he wished he could take her all the way to bed. "That would be embarrassing... I need to go to the County Hospital. Would that be convenient for you?" Bai Xue’s cheeks were tinged with a blush, a touch of shyness as she brushed her hair back. After all, being complimented was a form of recognition too. "Well, isn’t this a coincidence? I have to go to the County Hospital too, so it’s on the way." Lin Fan stepped on the gas and the car sped off, quickly arriving outside the County Hospital. Stepping out of the car, Bai Xue wore a grateful smile and said to Lin Fan, "Thank you so much for today. If you have other matters, please go ahead. I’ll definitely treat you to a meal next time I’m in town." "You think I was just lying to you earlier? Actually, I really did come here." Lin Fan chuckled as he turned off the engine and stepped out of the car. "Can the world really be this full of coincidences? I thought you were just saying that so I wouldn’t owe you any favors." Bai Xue quickly explained with a laugh. "How could that be? Lying to a beautiful woman is asking to be struck by lightning, and with a super beauty like you, the voltage would be even higher. I don’t want to die young." Lin Fan laughed as he walked up to Bai Xue and inhaled her fragrance, "Are you here at the County Hospital to visit someone sick or for a check-up?" "Neither, it’s my cousin. She’s completely wild and loves hanging out in bars. The family just can’t handle her anymore and fears she’ll get into trouble, so they found a scapegoat. They arranged a blind date today in hopes of marrying her off quickly, and I’m here to make sure everything goes smoothly." Feeling Lin Fan’s forward approach, Bai Xue instinctively took a step back, pushing her disheveled hair behind her ear, then curiously asked, "And what are you here for?" "Perhaps, I am that unlucky guy who’s supposed to have a blind date with your wild, bar-hopping cousin!"
