The Beauties Help Me Become the No.1 Official

Chapter 627: Chapter 627: Raising a White Flag at the Start

In the mourning hall, Zhao Chuanchun had just placed three sticks of incense into the censer, and only then did

the crowd behind him step forward in unison. Moreover, having heard the news, hundreds had already arrived at

the mourning hall sequentially—it was a statement in itself.

"Seeing Deputy County Chief Zhao here, then they crunning. These people are really hypocritical!"

Zhu Zhixuan looked disdainfully at the people continuously offering incense. Before Zhao Chuanchun arrived,

they were nowhere to be seen. Now, each one of them was stomping and beating their chests—utterly

hypocritical.

"It's normal, after all, if you want to make a living in Red Flag County, without the consent of Zhao Chuanchun, it

would be impossible. So, everyone is just trying to scrape by."

Watching Zhao Chuanchun, who was still consoling Nie Yinghong, Lin Fan sneered. Clearly a murderer, yet he

had the audacity to give a generous speech in front of the victim's orphan. He was the most terrifying kind of

person.

"He's coming this way, he might be here to trouble you."

Bai Xue watched Zhao Chuanchun approaching with a smile on his face. For sreason, even though he was

smiling, it appeared so frightening to her, always leaving one with a chill down their spine.

"County Magistrate Lin, who are these two?"

Zhao Chuanchun approached, and naturally, Lin Fan went to meet him. He looked at Zhu Zhixuan and Bai Xue;

Zhao Chuanchun clearly knew the answer to his question yet he asked deliberately.

"A pair of confidantes, just personal hobbies."

Lin Fan lowered his voice, and both men shared a knowing smile.

"County Magistrate Lin, you're young and promising, truly a pillar of talent. While it's fine to play around, now

that County Magistrate Luan has passed, a heavy burden will fall on your shoulders. You must do well, as your

future holds limitless prospects. | believe it won't take long for you to be promoted."

As Zhao Chuanchun spoke, he didn’t forget to pat Lin Fan’s shoulder, who then responded with a smile, "With a

predecessor like County Magistrate Zhao here, how could it fall toto shoulder the burdens? The work of

County Magistrate Luan is crucial for the future of Red Flag County, so naturally, County Magistrate Zhao should

lead. | will definitely be there in the background to support and cheer for County Magistrate Zhao."

"You can’t say that. I'm getting old and can no longer handle the work. | only want to go fishing now and look

forward to retirement to collect my pension. It's Deputy Mayor Zhu who values you highly, and since you were in

charge of attracting investment previously, and now that the projects have all settled, naturally, it should fall to

you to take charge. You must exude an irreplaceable vigor since everyone is watching you."

Zhao Chuanchun waved his hand, "Don’t worry, being a few years older than you, consideryour big brother. |

will fully support your work from now on."

It must be said, this sly old fox was a masterful actor with such a sincere face, almost convincing Lin Fan.

"Since County Magistrate Zhao has said this, then I really must step up, lest the elders say our younger

generation has fallen. So, under normal circumstances, | should indeed help County Magistrate Zhao share his

concerns."

Lin Fan smoothly transitioned, handing over the medical report he had prepared in advance to County Magistrate

Zhao, "I just went to Provincial City and got a check-up while | was there. Unexpectedly, there were so many

issues. | initially thought to bring this report to the city leaders and resign, but then County Magistrate Luan

passed away unexpectedly, and the office informedthat | must report to Red Flag County. So | had no choice

but to come, but as you can see from the medical report, doctors from the top hospital advised against

continuing work that’s too strenuous. So I'd like to discuss something with County Magistrate Zhao."

"What is it?"

Looking at the medical report Lin Fan handed him, Zhao Chuanchun curiously asked.

"I'd like to ask County Magistrate Zhao to toleratemore often. I'll just convalesce here in our county town.

After all, it’s far from the Emperor; the city doesn’t know whether I’m at work or not. I'd be grateful if you could

turn a blind eye and letslack off a bit!"

Lin Fan blinked, his tactic clearly throwing Zhao Chuanchun off, "How do you plan to slack off?"

"I'll just spend my days here, drinking tea. If you needfor anything, I'll go to the County Government.

Whatever you approve, | approve; whatever you oppose, | oppose. From now on, I'll follow your lead. As for the

matters left by County Magistrate Luan, just assign someone to handle them."

Starting off by waving the white flag, Lin Fan was clearly unprepared for his duties, and now even his medical

issues had been prepared in advance, so even a cunning old fox couldn't guess what this young man was truly

planning.

"This... is not quite appropriate?"

"What's inappropriate? With you holding down Red Flag County, I'm just here to embellish my record and ride on

your coattails. Not to hide it from you, but during my recent trip to the province, I've already secured good

connections. In a little while, as long as | achieve saccomplishments, | can ascend smoothly. So, during my

days in Red Flag County, | still need to follow your lead wholeheartedly."

Lin Fan looked at Zhao Chuanchun with a flattering face. Smiling does not hit a smiling person, so ultimately, he

didn’t say more but just patted Lin Fan on the shoulder, "Next month is my mother’s eightieth birthday,

remember to cfor a drink."

"| certainly will!"

The reaction from Zhao Chuanchun allowed Lin Fan to crack a slight smile, seeming like conceding had played

out well this time.
