Chapter 8: Not a Dragon but a Snake Crossing the River

  Insufficient balance

  This change was kept from Xu Jiancheng, and by the time he found out, it was too late. He reported to Lao Yezi and got a one-sentence answer: If you're not a fierce dragon crossing the river, then don't bother trying to make it in this system.

  Others do not know Xu Zilong, they think he is just a spoiled rich kid who knows no bounds, but the old man still understands his grandson, thinks this guy is himself when he was young, and his cultural level is much higher than he can imagine. If he gets enough training in the system, his future will be boundless, which is also the fundamental reason why he did not intervene in the appointment of the Central Organization Department.

  Xu Zilong's mother, Huang Yingju, was heartbroken for her son, so she quietly dialed the phone number of her old classmate Li Dahai, the head of the Organization Department of Wuhai City, and asked him to take care of her son. She hoped that Xu Zilong could be in charge of economic work, after all, he majored in economics management in college, so there shouldn't be too many problems.

  As soon as she got off the plane, Chu Yanping said to Xu Zilong: "My dad sent someone to pick me up. Why don't you take him to Bingcheng?"

  It was obviously just a polite remark, and Chu Yanping's pretty face didn't have any expression on it, not to mention any real intention of inviting her. After all, her father had strictly forbidden her from revealing her true identity, fearing that it would create obstacles in making friends with others. What if it attracted people who were trying to curry favor with the wealthy and powerful? Wouldn't that be a huge trouble?

  Chu Yanping's caution lost her last chance, of course this is a later story.

  "No need, I'll just hail a taxi myself." Xu Zilong saw that it was a government-plated car and gave up the idea of hitching a ride. Of course, he also sensed that the other person didn't really mean to invite him, or else he wouldn't have minded taking advantage of the situation.

  Watching Chu Yanping get into the car, Xu Zilong muttered to himself: "It seems that it's hard to spark with this beautiful school sister, and I don't know what kind of situation it will be next time we meet."

  The taxis at the airport were not very large, after all, there were few taxis in that era, and only big cities like Ice City had them. Small towns didn't even have buses.

  "Master, go to Central Avenue." In that world, Xu Zilong had been to Ice City several times and was quite familiar with it. He didn't want to waste too much time or travel around, but just wanted to rest for a while before meeting the Vice Governor, so choosing Central Avenue was clearly the most suitable choice.

  "Judging from your accent, boss, you're a native of Long City. You must be here in Ice City for tourism, right? Otherwise, I can introduce you to some local tourist attractions and famous snacks."

  "Alright!" Xu Zilong did not refuse the driver's kindness.

  "The driver said in the local dialect: 'Taiyang Island Scenic Area, Central Avenue, Ice and Snow World, etc., there are countless delicious foods, such as red sausage, large Russian bread, pine nut small intestine, kvass, Madiyeer bread, Madiyeer ice cream, Madiyeer yogurt, etc.'"

  "What's your name, Master?" For some reason, Xu Zilong became interested in this chance encounter with the driver.

  "Huang Er Niu." The driver also gave his phone number to Xu Zilong.

  Xu Zilong did not let the master drive to the provincial government's family courtyard, but instead came to Central Avenue. While feeling the prosperity of this street, he was also thinking about what the mountainous county he was going to would look like. At this time, this guy still didn't know that he was actually assigned to Nanshan County, if he knew, he would probably collapse.

  Just as Xu Zilong was lost in thought, he suddenly saw a man carrying a bag rushing towards him in a fluster, with a young woman closely following behind, shouting "Catch the thief!"

  The thief, a sly-looking guy with a somewhat depressed appearance, was surprisingly fast. The young woman had a fiery figure and wore relatively revealing clothes, which wasn't unusual for July in the Ice City. What surprised Xu Zilong was that she wore high heels, yet ran at an unexpectedly fast speed.

  Under the bright sky, someone dared to snatch a bag in the bustling city, which was simply lawless. Xu Zilong subconsciously stretched out his leg and tripped the little thief to the ground.

  Fierce, when the young woman rushed over, Xu Zidong finally saw the ferocity of a Northeastern woman. This woman didn't even bend down to pick up her own handbag, but instead kept kicking the thief who was lying on the ground with her high-heeled shoes, as if she had some deep-seated hatred.

  "You want to die, dare to rob my bag, today you must be beaten to death." The young woman seemed unsatisfied, lifted her foot and kicked the thief's face, if she hit it, it would be over.

  "That's enough, Miss. If you continue, someone will get hurt." Xu Zilong suddenly grasped the young woman's ankle and said slowly, "Let the police handle this matter, no need to take matters into your own hands. After all, in a public place, it's not ladylike for a beauty like you to use violence, be careful or you might end up unmarried."

  The moment he pinched the beauty's ankle, Xu Zilong accidentally saw a flash of red inside her skirt. That small red underwear attracted his eyeballs and almost made him bleed from the nose.
