However, Li Qingfeng couldn't explain this topic to him.
At this moment, he was already on the bus heading to Liberation Town.
Li Qingfeng and Zheng Yingxue worked all the way to the bus station, casually hailed a tractor heading back to Mopangou Village, and got on.
Living in the village has this advantage: no matter where you go, as long as it's on the way, there's no worry about fares.
As long as you can get on, you don't need to pay.
Li Qingfeng looked at the smiling vegetable farmers sitting in the front of the tractor and couldn't help but think.
"The people in the countryside are truly simple!"
The two of them rode all the way to Mopangou Village. As they were about to get off, Li Qingfeng felt the check in his hand.
Instantly, he was stunned.
The check was the million-dollar check that Ji Guangyuan had given him. Glancing at the details, Li Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief.
This check could be cashed directly at any bank, universally accepted!
So, he got off the vehicle at the village entrance, sent Zheng Yingxue home, picked up a tractor from the village, and drove back to town himself.
Coincidentally, as soon as he got off the tractor, he ran into Zong Shuyun, who was also just getting off.
"Senior Sister, why are you here?"
Seeing other people beside her, Li Qingfeng didn't use his usual casual address, but instead switched to "Senior Sister."
To his surprise, Zong Shuyun seemed quite pleased with his current address. She nodded at him.
"Junior Brother, why are you in town?"
Seeing Li Qingfeng in front of her, Zong Shuyun walked up to him and asked.
At the same time, she turned to introduce him to her colleagues: "This is my junior brother from Huaqing University, Li Qingfeng!"
"Hello everyone!"
Since Zong Shuyun had already taken the initiative to introduce him, Li Qingfeng went along with it and greeted the people in front of him.
Upon hearing him, they also greeted Li Qingfeng.
However, among these town officials, one person scoffed at Li Qingfeng's greeting.
Not only that, but he looked at the black soot on Li Qingfeng's face and the tractor beside him and said dismissively.
"I really don't know where you get the courage, a poor ghost daring to be so close to Mayor Zong!"
"If I were you, I wouldn't even come to say hello dressed like this."
His voice wasn't quiet, and everyone around heard him.
Hearing the man's words, they all fell silent and turned their gaze to Zong Shuyun, who was beside Li Qingfeng.
As expected, after hearing his words, Zong Shuyun's face immediately darkened, looking very displeased.
Looking at the man in front of her, she was furious.
She said directly to him, "Si Chengtian, if you don't want to speak properly, then shut up!"
The man named Si Chengtian's face instantly darkened. He hadn't expected Zheng Yingxue to mock him for a man.
"Zong Shuyun, what use is this guy that you'd defend him like this?"
Hearing Zong Shuyun's words, Si Chengtian completely lost his composure and shouted in a very muffled voice.
After hearing her, this man's demeanor changed completely, becoming very sharp.
"By the way, who are you?"
Just as the situation was becoming tense, Li Qingfeng spoke.
His voice was like a sharp sword, piercing directly into Si Chengtian's heart.
Suddenly, the situation became even more awkward.
However, after hearing Li Qingfeng's words, a smile appeared on Zong Shuyun's lips. She nodded at him and directly yielded the spotlight to Li Qingfeng.
She had long been impressed by Li Qingfeng's sharp tongue.
Looking at the dirty man in front of him, Si Chengtian directly said, "Kid, listen carefully, my name is Si Chengtian!"
"I know your name is Si Chengtian. I'm not blind, nor deaf. I know everything!"
As soon as Si Chengtian opened his mouth, he heard Li Qingfeng's retort.
Hearing his words, Si Chengtian fell into thought, not knowing what to say.
"I, Si Chengtian, am the deputy mayor of Liberation Town. You are from Liberation Town, so you need to..."
"Wait, let me correct you. I'm not from Liberation Town. Didn't you see I came by tractor? I'm from the village!"
Before Si Chengtian, the deputy mayor, could finish speaking, Li Qingfeng interrupted him directly.
Hearing Li Qingfeng's words, Si Chengtian was so embarrassed he didn't know what to say.
At this moment, the situation became awkward.
"Pfft!"
Suddenly, a faint chuckle broke the silence.
Everyone turned their heads and saw that the person who chuckled was Zong Shuyun, who had been silent until now. She looked at Si Chengtian's ashen face and let out a laugh.
Everyone thought Li Qingfeng had let the deputy mayor off the hook.
However, to everyone's surprise, Li Qingfeng spoke again, delivering a killing blow that left Si Chengtian utterly humiliated and covering his face as he left.
"I say, you're a dignified deputy mayor, remember, you are a *dignified* deputy mayor!"
"Have you guys heard a song called 'My Dear Deputy Mayor'?"
Looking at the town officials watching beside him, Li Qingfeng spoke directly.
Hearing his words, Si Chengtian could no longer stand it. He only pointed at Li Qingfeng without speaking and then angrily left.
Seeing that the deputy mayor had left, the surrounding officials, both big and small, also bid farewell to Zong Shuyun, leaving the two of them some space.
After everyone had left, Zong Shuyun looked at Li Qingfeng, who was covered in mud like a clay figure, and giggled.
"What are you laughing at?"
Looking at Li Qingfeng, Zong Shuyun said with a smile, "Where have my Junior Brother Li been playing that he looks like he crawled out of a mud pit?"
Hearing her words, Li Qingfeng finally reacted. He quickly opened his clothes and looked at the mud on them. He didn't forget to smear some on Zong Shuyun.
"Hey, what are you doing!"
Upon seeing Li Qingfeng's action, Zong Shuyun dodged in panic.
However, unfortunately, she was still marked with a black smudge by Li Qingfeng. A black mark appeared on her originally delicate little face.
Seeing that Li Qingfeng intended to continue, she quickly stopped him.
"Alright, alright, mind your image. We're on Central Street right now, and everyone is watching us!"
At this moment, Zong Shuyun suddenly and quietly stopped Li Qingfeng's actions, pointing to the villagers behind them.
