The game of power begins with the police officers at the local police station.

There was a flat grassy area on the mountaintop, where some people had brought tents and were preparing to spend the night there to watch the sunrise.

Jiang Yiqiu took Chen Shi's hand, and the two stood on the mountaintop, overlooking the entire county town in the distance, giving them a sense of being on top of the world.

A gentle breeze ruffled Jiang Yiqiu's hair, making her appear even more charming.

A number of single men and women turned to look at the two of them. The men looked at Jiang Yiqiu, and the women looked at Chen Shi. They all fantasized about how wonderful it would be if they could find a boyfriend/girlfriend like them.

Beauty can't put food on the table, but it's pleasing to the eye and makes you feel good.

Chen Shi and his companion were admiring the scenery, while people behind them were watching them. Unbeknownst to them, their very presence had become a striking sight.

Jiang Yiqiu smiled broadly and looked at Chen Shi: "How's the scenery here?"

"It's alright, you can see a lot from a high vantage point."

"Actually, this place could be developed into a tourist attraction, and even more people would come to visit."

Chen Shi agreed: "The county town has a population of about 100,000, but there aren't many places to visit. Developing it into a tourist attraction can increase government revenue."

Jiang Yiqiu smiled jokingly: "Then you should talk to County Chief Liu and develop this place into a tourist attraction."

"This isn't my job. I'm not in that position, so I shouldn't meddle. If I report this to County Chief Liu, what will the Tourism Bureau Director think? Isn't this taking away his job?"

Jiang Yiqiu nodded: "You've thought that far ahead. I haven't thought that far ahead. It seems that leaders think differently from us ordinary people."

The two turned around, and Jiang Yiqiu felt a sharp pain in his foot. He couldn't help but let out a cry of pain and half-squatted down.

Chen Shi quickly helped her up: "What's wrong? Does your foot hurt?"

Jiang Yiqiu hummed in agreement.

Chen Shi bent down, picked up Jiang Yiqiu, and walked to a rock nearby. Jiang Yiqiu felt very safe in Chen Shi's arms.

Chen Shi helped Jiang Yiqiu sit down on a rock. Jiang Yiqiu took off his high heels, revealing that his soles were red and his heels were blistered.

Chen Shi squatted down: "Let me massage your feet, it will make you feel better."

Jiang Yiqiu hummed in agreement, feeling very happy. Chen Shi loved him; otherwise, he wouldn't have massaged his feet in front of everyone.

Jiang Yiqiu watched quietly as Chen Shi massaged his feet, feeling very comfortable. He wished he could take a picture at this moment to keep as a memento.

She was looking around to see if she could spot anyone she knew. Suddenly, her eyes lit up when she saw Liu Qian, who had graduated in the same year as her and entered the No. 1 High School. Standing next to her was a man she had never seen before. He wasn't a teacher at the No. 1 High School, but he looked like someone who worked for a public institution.

Jiang Yiqiu waved to Liu Qian and called out, "Teacher Liu."

Liu Qian saw Jiang Yiqiu and walked over: "Director Jiang, you're here to go hiking too."

When Chen Shi saw someone coming, he stopped rubbing his feet and stood up straight.

Jiang Yiqiu smiled and asked, "Your boyfriend?"

Liu Qian smiled shyly: "No, just ordinary friends."

She looked at Chen Shi and said, "Director Jiang, your boyfriend is really handsome."

Jiang Yiqiu smiled and said, "Your friend is handsome too."

The man nodded slightly to Chen Shi. He had heard Liu Qian say that the most beautiful girl in their school had found a deputy section chief as her boyfriend and was quickly promoted to director of teaching by the principal.

The man before me is Chen Shi, the head of the security management team, a prominent figure in the county. In just two or three months since taking office, he has brought down the once-arrogant Chengshi Entertainment Group overnight.

He was just an ordinary employee of a public institution under the Bureau of Industry and Commerce. Chen Shi was someone he looked up to. Their statuses were not compatible, so he shouldn't try to get close to him.

Chen Shi smiled and nodded to the two men in greeting.

Jiang Yiqiu took out a camera from his bag: "Teacher Liu, please take some photos for us."

Liu Qian took the camera: "Okay."

Jiang Yiqiu smiled and looked at Chen Shi: "Could you continue massaging my feet and let Teacher Liu take a few photos as a souvenir?"

Chen Shi nodded, satisfying her vanity.

Chen Shi squatted down and rubbed his feet as if nothing had happened.

Liu Qian took more than a dozen photos from different angles and showed them to Jiang Yiqiu. Jiang Yiqiu was very satisfied, saying that the photos were very good, and that he would ask Liu Qian to take photos for school events in the future.

She handed the camera to Chen Shi and said, "The photos are very good. I'll send you a few when we get back."

"You can keep it, you don't need to send it to me."

Jiang Yiqiu put on her shoes, ignoring the pain in her feet, because she wanted to take more photos.

"Teacher Liu, please take a few more pictures for us."

Liu Qian took the camera from Jiang Yiqiu: "Okay, I'll be your cameraman today."

Jiang Yiqiu pulled Chen Shi back to where they had been standing and took a few more pictures.

Jiang Yiqiu took Chen Shi's hand and they found a few scenic spots to take pictures.

Liu Qian handed the camera to Jiang Yiqiu: "Director Jiang, take a look. The photo isn't good. I'll retake it."

Jiang Yiqiu carefully examined each photo and was very satisfied: "Teacher Liu, you took really good photos, thank you."

"No need, you're welcome."

The man next to Liu Qian couldn't help but glance at Jiang Yiqiu a few more times; he simply couldn't control himself when he saw a beautiful woman.

Jiang Yiqiu smiled and said, "That's fine, Teacher Liu, you can go and have fun. I won't bother you anymore."

Liu Qian left with the man, and Jiang Yiqiu handed the camera to Chen Shi: "Look, the photos are really good."

Chen Shi took the camera and looked through several photos; they were indeed quite good.

He handed the camera back to Jiang Yiqiu: "Why did she call you Director Jiang?"

Jiang Yiqiu put away his camera: "The position of Director of Academic Affairs at No. 1 Middle School is vacant. There are rumors throughout the school that I will take over as Director of Academic Affairs. The appointment will be issued on Monday."

The teachers I know all call me Director Jiang. They call me that so often, I don't really want to say anything, so I just let them call me that.

Yang Xiong has not spoken to you.

"As I said on Friday, I would be taking over as the Dean of Students. The school's Party Committee has approved it, and the official appointment will take place on Monday."

Chen Shi smiled broadly: "Congratulations, Director Jiang. You didn't even tell me about this good news beforehand."

"Don't tease me. You're a deputy section chief, while I'm not even that level. At most, I'm just a minor leader within the school. Once I leave the school, I'm nothing."

The appointment hasn't been officially announced yet, and I was worried something might change, so I didn't tell you beforehand. I hope you're not angry.

Chen Shi chuckled lightly: "Am I such a petty person? It's normal not to say anything until everything is settled."

"Thank you, you're so kind."

Chen Shi checked the time: "Let's go, it's five o'clock. By the time we get down there, it will be dark."

Jiang Yiqiu took Chen Shi's hand: "If we go down the mountain quickly, it should take a little over an hour to get down."

"Are you still able to walk?"

My mind was focused on taking pictures, and now my feet are burning with pain. I chuckled at Chen Shi, "Going down the mountain, you'll have to carry me for a bit; my feet are hurting."

Chen Shi bent down and picked up Jiang Yiqiu, saying, "I'll carry you down."

"I'll carry you on my back; it'll be tiring to hold you."

"It's okay, it's just that your back looks awkward in a skirt."

Jiang Yiqiu was very happy. Chen Shi was afraid of exposing herself, so she clung tightly to him.

She felt like the happiest woman in the world. Chen Shi completely fulfilled her fantasy of a boyfriend. Her boyfriend should be like Chen Shi.

When fantasy becomes reality, no girl can resist being captivated by it.
