Chapter 1074: A secretary’s duty

Night.

After 9 pm.

Zhen Shui County Party Committee family quarters.

Most people sleep later, and it was the same for Dong Xuebing. It was not his bedtime, and he was surfing the net on his laptop in a one-bedroom apartment. He was bored as he did not know many people and did not know the people here. He dared not invite them for dinner because he was unsure about their relationship.

Ring… ring… ring…. Dong Xuebing’s phone rang.

Dong Xuebing looked at the number and answered. “Hello, Yao Cui?”

Yao Cui giggled. “Are you at home, Mayor Dong?”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “I am surfing the net at home. I got nothing to do.”

Yao Cui smiled. “Great. I am about to visit you to give you my work update.”

Dong Xuebing was surprised. “It’s late. Why are you not sleeping yet? You had just recovered and should not be running around.”

Yao Cui replied helplessly. “I ran out to hide. Dozens of people had come to my house. County leaders, my relatives, my neighbors, etc. I cannot chase them away, so I came out.” She laughed. “I thought being a leader is great and will have power and influence. I only know how scary it is when I become one.”

Dong Xuebing was surprised. “So many people went to your house?!”

“It’s more than you can imagine. They are not here yet, and I think people will continue to visit my house until 11 pm.”

“You are better than me.”

“How is that so?”

“Very few people visited me all this while.”

“Impossible. You hold a high rank, and many people should visit you. Is it because their ranks are lower, and they dare not visit you?”

“No.”

“Then why?”

“Err…. It’s too embarrassing to say. Come over.”

“Sure. Please send me your address. Oh, it is fine to visit you so late?”

“You are my secretary now. It’s normal to discuss work at this time. Haha…. It’s fine.”

Dong Xuebing looked at what he was wearing and decided to change. He took out something more presentable and changed. He was not lying when he told Yao Cui very few people visited him. It was because he offended too many people, and no one dared to visit him. He offended most leaders everywhere he was posted. He even offended the County Party Secretary and the City Party Secretary. Who dares to visit the god of plagues? He did not tell Yao Cui as it was not something to be proud of.

The doorbell rang around fifteen minutes later.

Dong Xuebing opened the door. “Eh? You are fast.’

Yao Cui smiled. “I was almost reaching when I called.”

Dong Xuebing stepped aside to let Yao Cui enter. He closed the door and said. “What if I am outside? You will have to ride your bicycle back.”

“Outside?” Yao Cui joked. “You have to return immediately when I am here.”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “Yes. Of course.”

Yao Cui looked at Dong Xuebing. “Do you think I am not qualified to be a secretary? Other secretaries treated their leaders politely, but I treat you differently. Haha… Xuebing, it is not too late to regret now. Are you sure you want me as your secretary?”

Dong Xuebing was amused. “Of course.”

Yao Cui asked. “What if I offended you in the future?”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “You will not offend me. I might be the one who will offend you.”

Yao Cui punched Dong Xuebing’s chest lightly. “You are indeed my good friend. We can joke around alone, and I know what I should do at work.” She smiled. “I will take good care of you.”

“Huh? You are giving me goosebumps.”

“Do you want me to punch you?”

“Hahahaha….”

They laughed.

Dong Xuebing enjoys being with Yao Cui. He looked at her and noticed she was wearing different clothes. She was wearing a grey skirt with a high slit, showing her thighs and stockings. Her top was a white sweater, and she wore a pair of white heels.

Yao Cui noticed Dong Xuebing looking at her. “Why are you looking at me like this?”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “I feel my classmate has become prettier.”

Yao Cui rolled her eyes. “You will not say such things during our school days. Haha…. I am not used to the current you.”

“Huh? I am telling the truth. You are pretty.”

“You should not say such things when you are married. I will tell your wife the next time I see her.”

“Huh? I will be in trouble if you tell her. She will scold me for days.”

Yao Cui laughed. “Alright. Let’s stop joking. Are you hungry? Do you want me to cook supper for you?”

“I had dinner at your place earlier, and I am full. Have a seat. I will get you a cup of tea.”

“Save it. How can I make my leader serve me tea? Let me do it.” Yao Cui found the tea leaves and started making tea.

Dong Xuebing tried to stop her but to no avail.

Yao Cui did not drink the tea she brewed. She placed the tea on the table and cleaned Dong Xuebing’s room. Dong Xuebing quickly stopped her, and she started sweeping the floor.

“What are you doing?”

“Cleaning up for you.”

“You don’t need to do this.”

“I heard this is the secretary’s duty.”

“I did not treat you as my secretary. We are classmates, and I cannot let you do this.”

“Haha…. I will still clean up for you even if I am not your secretary. You are alone in Zhen Shui County, and I should take care of you as a former classmate.” Yao Cui said as she swept the floor. “Move aside. Don’t get in my way.”

“You are wearing a skirt.”

“It’s fine. These chores are nothing.”

Yao Cui bent, and her tight skirt rode up. Her back was facing Dong Xuebing, and she did not see him staring at her butt and legs. He could see the outline of her lacy underwear.

It’s so sexy.

The living conditions in the county were poor, and Dong Xuebing had not met any well-dressed women. Most of the women in the county dressed conservatively, but Yao Cui was different. She stayed in Beijing for a few years and knew how to dress up.

Swoosh….

Swoosh….

Yao Cui continued to sweep the floor, and Dong Xuebing did not try to snatch the broom from her. He sat on the sofa to admire her butt.

A few minutes later.

Yao Cui finished sweeping and put away the broom.

Dong Xuebing quickly looks away. “Thank you.”

“I will get mad if you continue being polite to me.” Yao Cui pretended to be mad.

Dong Xuebing laughed. “Fine. Have a break and get something to drink.”

Yao Cui did not move. She looked at Dong Xuebing’s luggage and asked. “Are there any secrets in there?”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “What secrets do I have? It’s just my clothes, blankets, and bedsheets.”

“Alright.” Yao Cui opened Dong Xuebing’s luggage and started unpacking it. She took out his shirts carefully and kept them in the closet. “You cannot keep your shirts in the suitcase. Let me hang them up. Go out and enjoy your tea.”

Dong Xuebing was not used to it. “No need. Put it aside. I will do it.”

Yao Cui gave Dong Xuebing a stare. “Taking care of you is my job. If you don’t want me to do it, don’t make me your secretary. The official order is not yet, and you can change your mind.” She looked at Dong Xuebing seriously. “Xuebing, we might be friends, but I take my work seriously. How can I be your secretary if you treat me so nicely?”

Dong Xuebing replied helplessly. “It’s fine. Secretaries do not need to take care of me. I am an able person.”

Yao Cui laughed. “A secretary’s job scope does not include taking care of a leader’s wellbeing, but this is an unspoken rule. Every leader’s secretary must do this, and I am no exception.”

“But….”

“No buts!”

“Errr…. Fine.”

“Haha… that’s more like it.”

Yao Cui continued to arrange Dong Xuebing’s clothes, including his socks and underwear.

This was making Dong Xuebing awkward.

Dong Xuebing could not see Yao Cui’s expression as she folded his underwear neatly and kept them in the closet. She was meticulous and folded every piece of clothing neatly.

It’s good to be cared for by someone.

Especially a pretty former classmate.
