Chapter 281 He looks a lot like the town mayor
"I don't think it's necessary. Since he has fallen for another woman, there's no point in me bothering him anymore. Besides, I've already let him go."
“If you really let him go, you will tell me that he went back to Jiangcheng. Mom! If it is him, I will definitely get justice for you.”
After ending the call with Yun Miao, Lu Mingxuan's face showed anger.
“Mingxuan, perhaps he really had his own reasons back then,” Song Qiao advised.
"What compelling reason could make him act like Chen Shimei? Qiaoqiao, don't try to persuade me. I'm going to get an explanation from him. Isn't he the town mayor? Isn't he well-liked? If everyone in Husband and Wife Town knew he was a Chen Shimei, would anyone still be defending him like this?"
Looking at the excited Lu Mingxuan, Song Qiao said, "Ask him first when you meet him. After all, he is the local official, so you must be mindful of your image."
Back in Kangli Town, the driver took them directly to a glutinous rice cake shop. There were many people waiting for the freshly made glutinous rice cakes, and they waited for a while before finally getting to taste the hot glutinous rice cakes.
It was only then that Song Qiao realized that tourism in Kangli Town had driven the local economic development.
After finishing their meal, the two bought some glutinous rice cakes and snacks, which they then took to the town government.
In Jiangcheng, at 8:30 a.m., Lu Xinjun was waiting at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau. They had arranged to get a divorce today, but half an hour had passed and he still hadn't seen Qiao Hongwei.
He took out his phone and dialed her number. The phone rang and he answered it.
"Where are you? I'm waiting for you at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau."
Qiao Hongwei's heart sank, and he asked coldly, "Are you really willing to give me half of the hospital's shares?"
"I'm willing, as long as you agree to the divorce, I'll agree to any conditions you set."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Hongwei sneered on the phone: "Lu Xinjun, I really didn't expect you to be so heartless. Fine! I'll be there right now. Just don't regret it."
"Don't worry, I won't regret it."
After Lu Xinjun said that, Qiao Hongwei ended the call, picked up her car keys, and drove to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Her position as deputy director of the Economic and Trade Bureau reminded her that she should not yield to Lu Xinjun.
Upon arriving at the Civil Affairs Bureau, Qiao Hongwei obtained his divorce certificate without going through the previous windows.
The moment she stepped out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, she regretted it.
Once inside the car, she dropped all pretense and cried for the first time.
While she was crying, a voice reminded her: "You are the daughter of the vice mayor, you are a state cadre, and Lu Xinjun was just a hospital director, but he is no longer the director. You have a share of the hospital's shares."
After watching Lu Xinjun drive away from her car, a thought of revenge ignited in her mind.
If Lu Xinjun doesn't let her have an easy time, she won't let him have an easy time either.
First, he went to the hospital and convened a meeting in his capacity as a shareholder.
This time, Lu Xinjun did not sit in the main seat, but in the second-highest seat.
Qiao Hongwei entered the room and sat in the main seat. She looked at the members of the leadership team, and her eyes fell on Lu Xinjun: "From now on, Lu Xinjun is no longer the president of Jiangcheng Hospital."
The crowd erupted in uproar. Vice President Wang Zhen stood up and asked, "Director Qiao, have you thought this through before dismissing Dean Lu?"
"Yes! Because I am also a major shareholder of the hospital, I will serve as the hospital's president in the future."
Wang Zhen stood up again: "Director Qiao, you do not meet the appointment criteria for hospital director. You should think twice before making this decision."
Qiao Hongwei slammed his hand on the table: "How am I not eligible? You should know that I also own half of the shares in Jiangcheng Hospital. I am also a major shareholder."
Wang Zhen risked his life to offer advice: "Director Qiao, firstly, your position is the director of the Economic and Trade Bureau. If you check the laws, you'll know that state cadres cannot register companies or invest in shares. Secondly, you have no professional background and no medical license. These two simple points alone disqualify you from being a hospital director."
Qiao Hongwei glared at Lu Xinjun and said, "So you knew all along that I couldn't compete with you, and you did this on purpose. Lu Xinjun, you just wait."
The hospital's leadership was baffled by the situation. Everyone knew that Qiao Hongwei had always been very assertive, and they assumed the two had quarreled.
After Qiao Hongwei left in a huff, Wang Zhen hurriedly advised Lu Xinjun: "Dean Lu, if you two are having a conflict, please resolve it at home. Don't let Director Qiao come to the hospital and cause trouble, okay? It's not a good influence."
Fortunately, Lu Xinjun had leadership skills, and the hospital's leadership team was united. They persuaded him a few times and then he left.
When Lu Mingxuan and Song Qiao arrived at the town government building, they got out of the car. The security guard at the gate saw them and came up to ask, "What are you doing here?"
Lu Mingxuan walked over and hurriedly explained, "We're here to see Mayor Xie."
"Mayor Xie has set off to inspect the village. If you want to find him, you'll have to find another time."
Hearing that Xie Changgui had set off, Lu Mingxuan was skeptical. He needed to verify the information coming from a security guard.
"How about this, can we go in and talk to someone in the office to find out what's going on?"
Upon hearing Lu Mingxuan's words, the security guard looked at him and asked, "What exactly do you want with Mayor Xie?"
“We are from his hometown and came here as tourists because we wanted to see him.”
Upon hearing this, the security guard glanced at the suitcase in Lu Mingxuan's hand: "Mayor Xie's family is from Xicheng, but your accents don't sound like it?"
When Song Qiao heard the words "Xicheng," it matched exactly what Miao Yun had said. She glanced at Lu Mingxuan, then looked at the security guard and asked, "Which village did Mayor Xie visit?"
"I have no comment on that. Who knows what you're up to?"
The security guard, with an expression of responsibility to Mayor Xie, refused to reveal Xie Changgui's departure point.
“We really are from his hometown. Look, we still have photos of Mayor Xie from his hometown.”
Lu Mingxuan took out his phone and showed Miao Yun the photo in her hand: "Look, we didn't lie to you."
The security guard looked at the photo, then his gaze fell on Lu Mingxuan: "You two are really from the same hometown as Mayor Xie?"
"Yes, we really are from the same hometown."
Song Qiao also took the opportunity to reply.
"Then go in and ask the people in the office which village Mayor Xie went to specifically?"
The security guards finally allowed them to enter. Lu Mingxuan left his suitcase at the main gate and went into the town government building with Song Qiao.
Upon entering, the two were surprised to find that the government offices were very basic, with a young girl sitting on a wooden chair in one of the offices.
"Who are you looking for?"
"We're here to see Mayor Xie."
The young girl first looked at Song Qiao, then her gaze fell on Lu Mingxuan: "What...is your relationship with Mayor Xie?"
The girl seemed to have also noticed that Lu Mingxuan looked a lot like Xie Changgui in some ways.
“I’m from his hometown and I came here for tourism. I wanted to send him a message.”
From the little girl's expression, Lu Mingxuan could already tell that she and Xie Changgui had similarities.
"How about this, wait a moment, I'll call Secretary Han and ask where Mayor Xie is?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Mingxuan quickly said "thank you".
The young woman picked up the phone and dialed a number. The other end answered: "Secretary Han, where is Mayor Xie? A fellow villager of his has come to town and wants to see him. Can you ask Mayor Xie if he knows about this?"
