Chapter 854 - 598: These Education Bureau Leaders Really Come and Go in a Hurry

Chapter 854: Chapter 598: These Education Bureau Leaders Really Come and Go in a Hurry

The next morning, around eight o’clock, the gentle sunlight showered the front of the education bureau building.

"Director Wei, Vice Director Wan, are you two ready yet?"

Xin Jinghui stuck his head out of the Audi A4’s window, shouting with a slightly anxious but still polite tone: "It’s getting late, we should head to the Government Kindergarten now."

What happened then!

He didn’t manage to call Wei Guodong and Wan Zhenhong over, but instead caught the curious attention of a security guard from the nearby security booth, who poked his head out the window.

Seeing that it was the familiar Xin Jinghui, the guard nodded at him in a friendly manner as a greeting.

Xin Jinghui saw this and smiled, nodding back to show a friendly response.

It was at this moment...

"Here I am!"

Accompanied by Wan Zhenhong’s slightly panting voice, he finally appeared in everyone’s sight, carrying a mixture of apology and helplessness on his face: "Old Xin, stop rushing me, I’m hurrying as fast as I can..."

Upon hearing this, Xin Jinghui couldn’t help but tease: "Old Wan, are you doing embroidery? Even the mules in the production team are more nimble than you."

Wan Zhenhong ignored Xin Jinghui’s joke and adjusted his hat, catching a glimpse of the noticeable change on Xin Jinghui’s head — his iconic thinning hair had somehow been replaced by a thick, glossy mane, making him look ten years younger.

"Old Xin, your transformation is really surprising! How did your head become so lush overnight?"

Wan Zhenhong asked with a tone of curiosity and teasing, then suddenly thought of something and jokingly continued: "Haha, I got it, you must be wearing a wig, right? You couldn’t have felt insecure, thinking your old hairstyle wasn’t stylish enough, so you..."

Xin Jinghui: "..."

Life is already so pathetic, some things are better left unsaid.

Xin Jinghui forced a smile: "No, no, it’s not like that. Mainly my wife felt sorry for me, afraid the wind would chill my forehead, so she specially got me this wig to keep warm."

After finishing, he changed the topic and threw it back to Wan Zhenhong: "Oh, by the way, Old Wan, what’s suddenly with your obsession with hats? You wouldn’t be worried that your slightly greying hair would make the kids call you ’grandpa’, so you wore a hat to cover it up, right?"

Hmph~

Come on, let’s hurt each other!

We’re all people who persist despite obstacles!

Who’s afraid of whom?

Let’s see who can laugh last!

Xin Jinghui’s words were like an invisible sword, piercing Wan Zhenhong’s sensitive spot, freezing his smile instantly with a sense of cold swords randomly stabbing in his chest...

Really, it hits the heart, old buddy.

As the saying goes, hitting people doesn’t strike the face, revealing people’s shortcomings shouldn’t be done...

Life is already so tragic, some things should not be brought up again for him to reminisce, right...

Aye!

If I had known, I shouldn’t have teased Old Xin just now.

Now things are like this, I’ve shot myself in the foot, ending up being teased as well...

But now, Wan Zhenhong can only brave it out, forcing a smile and said: "Covering up? No such thing! It’s just that the weather has turned cold recently, and my partner at home worried that I might catch a cold outside with the wind blowing, and even my hair would ’catch a cold’, so she hurriedly found this hat for me."

Hehe~

He actually used Xin Jinghui’s reason...

Xin Jinghui was slightly speechless in his heart.

"Alright, alright..."

Wei Guodong strode out from inside, and as he approached, his gaze naturally fell on Wan Zhenhong’s unique hat and Xin Jinghui’s well-crafted wig, momentarily disoriented, unable to immediately recognize them.

Though he felt a bit curious about their image changes and carried some subtle emotions — after all, their dress-up made the image of him, the director, look a bit low!

But being known for his "humanistic care", he quickly adjusted his mindset, showing proper respect and appreciation, and sincerely said: "Wow, look at the outfits of you two today, truly unique craftsmanship, you look so refreshed, it’s really a visual delight!"

"Thank you, Director Wei, for your compliment. After all, we represent the image of the education bureau, and naturally, we wouldn’t dare to be careless..." Wan Zhenhong and Xin Jinghui promptly responded humbly, their faces brimming with smiles.

"Indeed, that’s the case..."

Wei Guodong pondered a bit, lightly nodding in agreement, then issued an invitation to Wan Zhenhong: "Vice Director Wan, stop standing there, get in the car quickly..."

As he spoke, he elegantly opened the backseat car door and sat inside.

Seeing this, Xin Jinghui volunteered: "Director Wei, let me drive today..."

Wei Guodong, slightly taken aback, responded: "Can you drive alright?"

"Of course!"

Xin Jinghui confidently patted his chest: "Though I usually ride an electric scooter to work and back, I have more than ten years of driving experience, definitely a veteran driver!"

"Alright then..."

Wei Guodong nodded in agreement but didn’t forget to remind: "Drive carefully..."

"Director Wei, rest assured!"

Xin Jinghui, ecstatic, happily sat in the driver’s seat and gripped the steering wheel.

As Wan Zhenhong settled into the passenger seat, he expressed some concern: "Old Xin, I recall you haven’t driven in a long time, so don’t mess up and get us, including Director Wei, into trouble..."

Sitting in the backseat, Wei Guodong quickly buckled his seatbelt upon hearing this.

Xin Jinghui: "..."

Uh...

Can’t there be more trust between people?
