Power and Wealth

Evening

Dong Xuebing’s apartment.

The sun is setting, and the sky is getting dimmer.

Dong Xuebing saw Jiang Fangfang start washing the vegetables and quickly stopped her.

“Mayor Jiang….”

“Huh?”

“Let me do it. Just leave it there.”

“It’s fine.”

“How can I let you do this?”

Dong Xuebing insisted, but Jiang Fangfang is a woman, and she is his direct leader. He cannot snatch the vegetables from her by force, and she has a calm demeanor. Whatever he said, she would reply, “it’s fine,” slowly, without any expression. She is like a cotton ball and has no reaction or frustrated emotions, no matter what Dong Xuebing says. Ultimately, he had no choice but to let her do what she wanted.

Dong Xuebing did not go out to the living room to watch TV. He stood behind Jiang Fangfang, watching her wash and cut the vegetables.

“Have you gotten used to living here?” Jiang Fangfang asked.

Dong Xuebing replied immediately. “It’s ok. This place is not bad.”

Jiang Fangfang nodded. “Do you have any requests about your work?”

Dong Xuebing replied. “No. I will follow the organization’s orders.”

Jiang Fangfang puts aside the vegetables she cut aside. “We will review your duties in the Party Committee meeting, which will be finalized. Secretary Meng should be back tomorrow, but you cannot participate in the Committee Meeting yet. We got to wait for the City’s approval during their meeting. You might have to wait for a few days.” Dong Xuebing was appointed as Zhen Shui County Executive Deputy County Mayor and qualified to enter the County Party Committee. However, the City Government has to approve it first.

Dong Xuebing does not mind. “Ok.”

“Do you have anything you don’t eat? Spicy garlic?”

“Huh? I eat everything.”

“Me too. I will cook according to my taste.”

Jiang Fangfang cut the vegetables slowly and evenly. The vegetables were cut as if a machine had cut them. Every piece was the same size.

Good cutting skills.

Dong Xuebing knew Jiang Fangfang’s cooking skills were good from how she used the knife.

Twenty minutes later.

Dinner was ready and laid out on the table.

Dong Xuebing did not let Mayor Jiang do anything else. He brought the food, bowls, and chopsticks to the dining table.

Jiang Fangfang said slowly. “Let’s eat.”

“Yes. Let’s eat.” Dong Xuebing used his chopsticks and ate a piece of vegetable. “It’s delicious. Haha…. I did not expect Mayor Jiang to be so good at cooking.”

Jiang Fangfang replied calmly. “I lived alone and always cooked for myself.”

Dong Xuebing ate and praised. “It’s been a while since I ate such delicious home cook food.”

Jiang Fangfang nodded and did not say anything. She ate and chewed her food slowly.

Dong Xuebing noticed her eating slowly and slowed down. He was waiting for Jiang Fangfang to say something because he felt she was here for a reason. He had prepared his answers if she asked him to join her faction.

One minute….

Five minutes….

Ten minutes….

They finished eating, but Mayor Jiang did not say anything.

Dong Xuebing started to get anxious when Jiang Fangfang did not say anything. He wondered why she came to his place.

Dong Xuebing asked. “Mayor Jiang, do you need anything for me?”

Jiang Fangfang looked at Dong Xuebing curiously. “Need anything from you?”

Dong Xuebing replied. “Nothing… err…. I will do the dishes.”

Jiang Fangfang nodded and looked around. “Where is the washroom?”

“Oh, it’s that door.” Dong Xuebing replied and started doing the dishes in the kitchen.

The bathroom door was slightly opened when Dong Xuebing came out of the kitchen. He saw Jiang Fangfang washing her hands inside.

It felt like they were a couple at this moment.

Dong Xuebing took this opportunity to look at Jiang Fangfang’s body. She moved slowly and steadily, and he found her more attractive. As he admires her, he notices the mirror in front of her. She bent forward slightly, and he could see her cleavage through the reflection.

Blue color….

Dark blue color with lace on the sides….

Dong Xuebing’s eyes almost popped out, and he wanted to get closer to admire her.

Jiang Fangfang was washing her hands slowly, and her breasts jiggled from her movements.

Dong Xuebing’s eyes hurt from staring hard. Xie Huilan is not around, and he is losing control of himself. However, Jiang Fangfang is the Mayor and his direct leader.

Jiang Fangfang turned off the tap and asked. “Mayor Dong, which towel is for drying hands?”

“You can use any towels inside.”

“I will use the white towel.”

“Sure. All the towels are new.”

Suddenly Dong Xuebing noticed a small basin in the bathroom and quickly told Jiang Fangfang where the towel was. He wants to let her leave the bathroom quickly, as his dirty underwear and socks are inside the basin. He did not expect her to visit his apartment today and did not clear his place.

Jiang Fangfang wiped her hands and placed the towel back on the rack. She noticed Dong Xuebing’s underwear and socks in the basin and said. “Your wife is not around, and it must be hard for you.”

Dong Xuebing replied. “No…. I intend to wash them when I get more dirty clothes.”

Jiang Fangfang replied. “You have four pairs of socks and want to wait for more clothes?”

Dong Xuebing cleared his throat and said. “I will wash them all in the washing machine to save water. I am used to washing my clothes this way.”

Jiang Fangfang shook her head. “How can you wash your socks and underwear in the washing machine? I will not be clean.”

“I will hand wash them if they are not clean. I was too tired these two days and did not wash my clothes.”

Dong Xuebing had been doing household chores for years and did the laundry even after getting married. He knew his socks and underwear would not be clean using the washing machine. After moving to Zhen Shui County, he was alone and got lazy.

“Mayor Jiang, let’s go and have some tea outside.” Dong Xuebing does not want to discuss his socks and underwear with a female leader.

Jiang Fangfang thought for a second and took off her coat. She passed it to Dong Xuebing and said. “Hang it up for me.”

Dong Xuebing was stunned. “Why….”

Jiang Fangfang rolled up her sleeves and replied. “I will wash them for you. It’s not a lot anyway.”

“Ah?”

“Just go out.”

“Ah, how can I let you do it?”

“It’s fine. Just go out and have tea.”

Dong Xuebing was shocked and quickly stopped Jiang Fangfang. “No… please don’t. I will wash them myself.”

Jiang Fangfang replied nonchalantly. “You have just arrived and have not gotten used to the lifestyle here. I am older than you and am your leader at work. After work, I am considered your elder sister. You don’t need to feel awkward by me washing your clothes. I had been through this too.”

Dong Xuebing was speechless. “Thank you, Mayor Jiang. But I cannot let you wash my clothes for me.”

This is not only washing Dong Xuebing’s clothes.

It is his dirty socks and underwear.

Dong Xuebing cannot let Jiang Fangfang wash his clothes for him. Even Geng Yuehua and Xie Huilan have never washed his underwear and socks for him. His secretary, Yao Cui, also did not wash his clothes when she came over to clean his apartment.

This woman is the County Mayor. Dong Xuebing’s leader.

Dong Xuebing had heard from Mayor Jiang’s driver that she is mindful of cleanliness and doesn’t allow other leaders to use her car. Why did she offer to wash my underwear and socks?

Jiang Fangfang ignored Dong Xuebing. She sat on a small stool and grabbed underwear from the basin.

Dong Xuebing was speechless.

He thought Jiang Fangfang had cooked for him because she wanted to pull him over to her side. But now, he no longer thinks like this.

Jiang Fangfang is not trying to make him join her faction.

No female County Mayor would wash a man’s underwear after knowing him for two days.
