To relieve myself in the pool

Chapter 1 A Chance Encounter in Spring
Spring has arrived, orioles sing, grasses grow, all things revive, and the hearts of men and women begin to stir.
However, this bright spring is more like a disaster for Qin Feng; the biting spring wind fills him with despair.
Emerging from the Civil Affairs Bureau with his divorce certificate, the overwhelming sunlight washes over him, and Qin Feng lets out a long
sigh . Turning to look at the woman beside him, her face icy cold, he thinks, from now on, this woman is his ex-wife
. Turning from companions to strangers is just a piece of paper away.
His ex-wife, Su Fei, coldly glares at Qin Feng, snorts, hails a taxi, and drives away,
her departure so resolute, without a trace of lingering affection. Her departing figure is like a proud hen. "
Damn it," Qin Feng curses inwardly, "What the hell? From now on, we'll each look after ourselves."
Walking in the April breeze of Yincheng, Qin Feng felt utterly dejected. People in this world turn on you faster than
they These past two years had been miserable; he faced only cold stares wherever he went, even his marriage was affected—his wife
had filed for divorce during his lowest point. Qin Feng had initially hoped to salvage the relationship, but facing a woman whose heart had changed,
all his efforts were futile. He decided to let her have her way.
A red Maserati convertible pulled up. This high-end car
was quite eye-catching in the small town of Yincheng, drawing the attention of passersby. Inside sat a young woman wearing large
sunglasses , her wavy hair flowing gently in the wind.
A spring rain had fallen the night before, leaving puddles on the streets .
As the Maserati passed Qin Feng, it splashed muddy water onto his body and face.
Already feeling down, Qin Feng became even angrier. "Damn it," he thought, "misfortune follows badly wherever you go.
What's so great about driving a beat-up car?" He roared, "Can't you see where you're going? Driving that fast, aren't you
afraid of crashing and killing yourself?!"
The Maserati stopped, and the woman inside forced a smile, saying apologetically, "I'm
so sorry, I splashed you with mud. How about I buy you a new coat?"
The woman's attitude was good, and she was not only stylishly dressed but also
quite pretty with a good figure. Qin Feng suddenly realized his anger had nowhere to go. He waved his hand dismissively and said, "It's okay,
just be careful while driving. If you splash someone else, it won't be so easy to talk to them."
Qin Feng turned to leave, but the woman suddenly called out, "Hey, wait a minute."
Qin Feng turned around, looking at the woman in surprise, wondering why she was still making a fuss after her mistake. His face was full of
suspicion and confusion.
"Oh, you really don't recognize me?" the woman suddenly said to Qin Feng with a smile. Her smile
was very friendly and natural, and there seemed to be a hint of familiarity about her.
Qin Feng looked at the woman with suspicion, his eyes wide as he asked, "You know me? You are...?"
The woman smiled and took off her sunglasses, revealing two rows of neat, white teeth, giving off a
bright and cheerful feeling, like the sun shining after a long period of darkness. She said, "Think again. You haven't really forgotten your old classmate, have you?"
Looking at the woman with the sunny smile in front of him, Qin Feng suddenly remembered. The floodgates of memory
opened like a torrent, and he exclaimed, "Yu Xi, it's you, Yu Xi! Is it really you? Am I dreaming?"
"Hahaha..." The woman laughed heartily, her face beaming with sunshine, and said, "That's right, it's
me. It's been seven or eight years. I didn't expect to run into you here."
"Yes, yes, I never expected it either," Qin Feng said excitedly, his mood suddenly improving. He asked in
surprise , "Strange, how come you're in Yincheng? Didn't you move your whole family to the provincial capital eight years ago?
Is there something you need this time?"
"Can't I just come to Yincheng for a day trip if I don't have anything to do? Hehe." Yu Xi said with a smile. "What, you
're just planning to stand on the street and chat with me without inviting me to your place?"
Qin Feng quickly said, "Sorry, I forgot everything when I got excited. My house is too
messy entertain guests. How about we find a coffee shop to sit in?
" "Okay, sure." Yu Xi said noncommittally, her gaze towards Qin Feng becoming complicated, making
Qin Feng a little embarrassed.
Sculpting Time Coffee Shop was considered the most upscale place in this small mountain town of Yincheng, but business
wasn't very good. There weren't many customers usually, and a cup of coffee cost over a hundred yuan, which not many people in a small place like Yincheng
could really afford. Qin Feng had gritted his teeth and brought Yu Xi here. The more unhappy a person is, the more sensitive they become, afraid of being
looked down upon .
Yu Xi gently stirred her coffee with a spoon, watching
Qin Feng, who sat opposite her with a playful expression. A faint smile played on her lips, making Qin Feng even more uneasy.
From Yu Xi's Maserati and her attire, Qin Feng knew she was doing
well, while his own current state of decline made him appear even more shabby. He spoke cautiously,
his palms —that's how insecure people are.
"How have you been these past few years?" Qin Feng asked softly, his voice extremely careful.
"Hmm, not bad," Yu Xi replied nonchalantly, taking a sip of her coffee and slightly frowning.
It seemed the coffee in this shop wasn't to her taste.
After saying this, Qin Feng didn't know what to say. He took out his cigarette case to light a cigarette to ease his tension,
but seeing Yu Xi sitting opposite him, he hesitated and put the cigarette back in the case.
Yu Xi smiled and said, "It's okay, smoke if you want."
Qin Feng forced himself to light a cigarette, and after taking a puff, he felt his emotions finally ease.
He looked the beautiful Yu Xi and thought to himself, "Is this the same girl I knew back then
?"
Back then, he was a star student at Yincheng No. 1 High School. Yu Xi seemed to have a bit of a crush on him, but
at the time, he was arrogant and focused on getting into a prestigious university, ignoring many girls who admired and pursued him.
Now, times have changed, and the prince charming in many girls' hearts back then has become a piece of trash. Sigh, thinking of
this , Qin Feng couldn't
help but sigh. "I heard you're now the vice director of studies at Yincheng No. 1 High School. How's it going? Are you happy?" Yu Xi asked
abruptly , but this casual question startled Qin Feng. Yu Xi had just returned to Yincheng, and this was
their first meeting, but how did she know everything? Did she already know about his divorce?
Qin Feng gave an ambiguous reply: "It's alright, hey, I'm just getting by anyway, taking it one day at a time."
" Tian Zhong."
"Just drifting through life?" Yu Xi frowned, her face clearly showing disappointment. "That's not like
what you said. I remember you were so ambitious back then, with grand aspirations. How come you've become so despondent just a few
years after ?"
Chapter 2, the topic character
Qin Feng gave a bitter smile, saying helplessly, "What else can I do but drift through life? I was
ambitious , but that was because I was too naive and didn't understand the real world at all. Now I finally understand;
I was just an ignorant fool back then, it's ridiculous."
"No, you can't say that about yourself." Yu Xi suddenly became very agitated, retorting excitedly,
"You can't let yourself become so despondent, and you shouldn't belittle yourself. You are a person with ideals, ambitions, and talent. You can't
let temporary adversity make you completely lose hope in reality. Life isn't what you think it is; there are still many beautiful
things in it."
"Where are the beautiful things? I can't see them," Qin Feng said with a bitter smile.
What's the use of having ideals, ambitions, and talent if you don't have connections or a background? It's all lies. In a small place like Yincheng
, you can't make it. You can only be a subservient lackey.
Yu Xi said firmly, "You'll see them sooner or later. Now I'm just asking you, do you still have ideals?"
Looking at Yu Xi's determined gaze, Qin Feng felt a surge of confidence for no reason. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and
said, "Yes!"
"What are they?" Yu Xi pressed on.
Qin Feng pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "To become the head of our school's teaching affairs office, and to be promoted to
the level of a full section chief."
Yu Xi nearly spat out her coffee, laughing at Qin Feng's earnest expression.
Her eyes were filled with a mixture of amusement and exasperation. She laughed for a while before stopping, pointing at Qin Feng and saying, "I thought you had such
lofty you hope for in life."
Qin Feng, however, didn't find it laughable at all. It was the truth. If he hadn't been the deputy head of teaching affairs office for four years without promotion
, his wife, Su Fei, wouldn't have divorced him. Back then, he was able to become the deputy head of teaching affairs office thanks to Su Fei's uncle, who
was then the deputy director of the education bureau. He gave him that position, and he'd probably still be an ordinary teacher.
Two years ago, Su Fei's uncle retired, and his career stagnated. Moreover, with the change of principal, he
was even losing his deputy head position, potentially being replaced at any moment by some powerful relative.
Qin Feng said seriously, "Yu Xi, you may find this wish laughable, but it's extremely
important to me, concerning my living space and status. In a small place like Yincheng, people live very realistically and
short-sightedly , only caring about immediate interests. But there's nothing we can do; that's the reality of life."
Yu Xi still smiled, saying helplessly, "Fine, I give up. Perhaps what you're saying is objectively
true, but I'm very disappointed with your answer. It's too petty; it's completely
different ."
"Probably," Qin Feng couldn't even remember what he was like years ago. He gave
a and said helplessly, "But what can I do? I can only compromise with reality."
Yu Xi looked at Qin Feng's bitter face, which seemed to have seen through life, and felt a pang of sadness and
pain Her eyes were full of pity. After a long silence, she said, "Believe me, life isn't as
good as you imagine, but it's not as bad as you imagine either. I'll help you fulfill this wish, but I hope you can cheer up and
be the person you used to be."
Qin Feng looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief, unable to react for a moment. But the last sentence
exploded in his ears. She was going to help him fulfill his wish. Why did
the news of Qin Feng's divorce spread throughout Yincheng No. 1 High School on the same day? Almost all the teachers heard
the news . A trivial matter had become the talk of the town.
That's how it is in small towns; the slightest disturbance becomes common knowledge. The monotonous and dull life makes people
exceptionally sensitive to any change. Even stray dogs running in the street can smell it. Qin Feng felt this particularly
acutely.
He had taken leave that morning to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to process his divorce. When he returned to school in the afternoon, many people
teased him, intentionally or unintentionally. Someone looked at Qin Feng with schadenfreude and asked, "Hey, Deputy Director Qin, I heard you got divorced?
Is it true?"
Qin Feng ignored them and went straight to his office. On the way, he ran into Zhang Dafa, the Dean of Students,
who winked at him and asked, "Oh, isn't this Little Qin? Now you're a happy bachelor again
. Are you throwing a party tonight?"
Seeing Zhang Dafa, Qin Feng's anger flared up. This bastard had not only kept
him in check for years but had also been eyeing Su Fei for a long time, always trying to sow discord between him and his wife. Several times, he had made
advances towards Su Fei, completely disregarding Qin Feng.
The school has changed principals, and soon the vice principals and the director and deputy director of the teaching affairs office will also be adjusted. It is said that
Zhang Dafa has connections in the city and education, and he is very likely to become the vice principal this time. He is smug and
arrogant all day long, and he walks on tiptoe. He doesn't even look people in the eye. He has the face of a petty person who has succeeded.
"Director Zhang, what does it matter to you whether I get a divorce or not?" Qin Feng finally snapped, unable to contain himself any longer.
"There are always some people in this world who are bored and have nothing better to do than meddle in other people's business. I advise you to take care of your
own wife. If you lose your position as vice principal, she might also file for divorce."
Zhang Dafeng was furious that Qin Feng dared to talk back to him. His face changed, and he pointed at Qin Feng, cursing
, "Qin, watch your mouth! You've already fallen on such a lowly state, and you're still acting all high and mighty
. Do you really think you're someone important? If I were you, I would have already killed myself. Your wife ran off with someone else, and
you can't even keep your vice principal position. What's the point of living?"
Qin Feng was too lazy to argue with him. He gave him a disdainful look and strode towards his office. Upon entering the office, he
suddenly noticed that the once bustling office had become completely silent. Everyone inside was quiet,
pretending to be busy with their own things, but their eyes were intentionally or unintentionally glancing at Qin Feng. Those gazes made Qin Feng feel like he was being pricked by needles.
Qin Feng sighed, glanced coldly at everyone, sat down at his desk, picked up his lesson plan but couldn't read
a single word. His mind was a mess, one moment his ex-wife's cold expression during the divorce that morning, the next
Zhang Dafa's hateful face, and then Yu Xi's beautiful figure. He felt uncomfortable all over.
What's wrong with this world? Did his personal affairs bother anyone? How did he suddenly become
the talk of the ? Qin Feng never expected that from this day forward, his life would not only undergo a dramatic
change, but he would also remain the talk of the town at Yincheng No. 1 High School for a long time.
Chapter 3: A Turn of Fortune
A few days later, an inspection team from the Municipal Party Committee's Organization Department arrived at Yincheng
No. 1 High School. The main task of this inspection team was to investigate and evaluate the school's vice principal, director of studies, and other middle-level cadres. No one expected that the first person called in for
a talk would not be Zhang Dafu, nor anyone else who had raised the most noise, but the frustrated Qin Feng.
Not only was Qin Feng completely bewildered, but even the principal and several vice-principals were stunned. Principal Yang Weiqi asked Li Qi, the head of the cadre department leading the inspection team,
puzzled , "Director Li, could it be that your list is wrong
? Qin Feng isn't among the candidates our school provided for inspection."
Li Qi replied with absolute certainty, "There's no mistake. Go and call him over. Our inspection team needs to
talk to him first, to get things sorted out."
Principal Yang Weiqi left meeting room number one, scratching his head, unable to figure out where things
had gone wrong. When did Qin Feng become a key candidate? Could it be because of his divorce and some
misconduct, leading to a report, and the inspection team was here to interrogate him? Thinking this, Yang Weiqi became certain of his
suspicions. Yes, that must be it.
Having figured this out, Principal Yang Weiqi couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Qin Feng. He was originally a pretty good teacher,
but unfortunately, he was a bit too argumentative and aloof, and unfortunately, he didn't have any family connections. Such people are destined to suffer;
otherwise, they wouldn't have been struggling to get ahead, almost to the point of having no place to stand in the entire Yincheng No. 1 High School.
Out of sympathy for Qin Feng, Yang Weiqi personally went to the teaching affairs office and called the bewildered Qin Feng to the
No. 1 conference room. As Qin Feng left the office, a large group of people watched him leave, some
gloating , some sympathetic, and some coldly observing, ready to watch the show. In short, everyone was convinced of one thing: Qin Feng
was going to be in trouble this time.
In the No. 1 conference room, Principal Yang Weiqi and Qin Feng sat down at the table opposite the inspection team,
looking at them with puzzled expressions. The head of the Organization Department's Cadre Division was the main person in charge of this assessment, and
sitting a man and a woman, one responsible for taking notes, and the other for supplementing questions.
Li Qi wore a pair of refined glasses, looking very capable, with bright,
intelligent . As the person in charge of cadre assessment in the Organization Department, Li Qi had seen countless people and had
a good eye for judging character.
"Director Li, this is Qin Feng, the one you're looking for. What... what mistake did he make?" Yang Weiqi looked at Li Qi with
suspicion and finally couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him.
Li Qi paused for a moment, but quickly understood Yang Weiqi's question. He smiled and said, "
What mistake could he have made? We're here for cadre evaluation, not for disciplinary inspection. Principal Yang, you can leave now. We
need to talk to Deputy Director Qin alone."
This simple answer was like a bolt from the blue for Yang Weiqi. The evaluation team really was here to evaluate
Qin Feng, which meant that he was a key candidate for cadre reshuffling. Was this guy's luck finally turning around?
Yang Weiqi felt his brain was spinning. He had never heard of Qin Feng having any background. This was clearly inconsistent with the evaluation list previously released by the Municipal Party Committee
's Organization Department Who had interfered with this cadre reshuffle
? Qin Feng was completely bewildered. He had never thought he would be on the evaluation list, and he was definitely
going to be reassigned to a middle school in some town as an ordinary teacher. In just a few days, how
could the situation completely changed?
Even after talking with the evaluation team, Qin Feng's head was still spinning. This was unbelievable, like
a dream. Everything seemed so unreal, so surreal.
He had actually been listed as a key candidate for promotion, from deputy section chief to
section chief, with the most likely position being the coveted Dean of Students—a highly coveted post at Yincheng No. 1 High School, a powerful and influential figure with connections to both higher and lower levels. Sometimes, a Dean of Students'
word more weight than the vice principal's. Thinking of this, Qin Feng's heart pounded with excitement; his previously stagnant heart began
to race. At this moment, he truly realized that spring had arrived.
Back home, facing the cold stove and empty pot, Qin Feng felt incredibly happy. He cooked
two dishes and a pot of rice, and even went downstairs to buy a bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor), drinking alone.
As he became slightly tipsy, Qin Feng suddenly remembered what Yu Xi had told him that day. Could this
change be related to Yu Xi? But what exactly did she do? Although she seemed wealthy, her
influence in Yincheng's officialdom was terrifying.
The news of Qin Feng's being given a key assessment by the Organization Department spread like wildfire throughout
Yincheng No. 1 High School and even the streets and alleys of Yincheng within a day. Everyone who knew Qin Feng
was talking about it. How could Qin Feng suddenly have such good luck? He was supposed to be demoted, but
suddenly blessed with good fortune and became a hot commodity
. Many people at Yincheng No. 1 High School were losing sleep, completely baffled. Why? Why was
Qin Feng, who was worse off than a dog, suddenly going to be promoted? Were the people in the Organization Department out of their minds?
The Dean of Students, Zhang Dafu, was furious at home, cursing and swearing so loudly that the roof was shaking. He
hadn't , but he clearly felt the crisis. The situation was very unfavorable to him. Was his
promotion going to fall through? This Qin guy wanted to take the position
. No way! He absolutely couldn't let that happen. If that were the case, how could he
face High School? Thinking of this, Zhang Dafu put on his coat, stormed out of the house, and went to the Education Bureau to consult his
backer about countermeasures.
Meanwhile, Qin Feng's ex-wife, Su Fei, also heard the rumors. At first, she didn't believe it at all, thinking it
was utter nonsense. If Qin Feng could be promoted, unless pigs flew, she wouldn't have divorced him;
it would cause an uproar. But the news spread like wildfire, with many people saying Qin Feng had gotten
incredibly There was envy in their voices, but mostly jealousy. This made Su Fei uneasy. Was
she really a complete power-hungry person? She had secured a position in the social security bureau through her uncle's connections, but
climbing the ladder was impossible; she had no hope in this life. Therefore, she pinned all her hopes on Qin Feng.
However, Qin Feng had been doing poorly for years, unpopular everywhere he went, and his relatives and friends constantly ridiculed him.
He was arrogant and aloof, utterly incompetent, and seemingly ambitious but ultimately useless. This
infuriated , leading to frequent arguments and bickering. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, she chose divorce without hesitation.
But right after the divorce, Qin Feng was promoted. Wasn't she at a huge disadvantage?
Thinking of this, Sophie couldn't sit still any longer. She took out her phone to call Qin Feng, but after scrolling through
her contacts , she realized she had already deleted his number. This showed
just how disappointed and resolute she had been with him back then.
Chapter 4 A Spring Breeze Overnight
Like a spring breeze overnight, the news of Qin Feng's impending promotion spread like wildfire throughout Yincheng.
Everyone was discussing the news, and their first reaction was surprisingly consistent: what incredible
luck Was there some shocking inside story behind it
? Qin Feng, however, felt that his spring had truly arrived. The chilly spring breeze wasn't so biting anymore, and the pent-up frustration of
many years . The attitudes of those around him also underwent a dramatic change, something
Qin Feng clearly sensed the moment he arrived at Yincheng No. 1 High School the next morning.
As Qin Feng approached the school gate and passed the gatekeeper, the old man who usually ignored him immediately
brightened up , his face beaming with a friendly smile. He called out in a fawning tone, "Oh, Director Qin, you're here
so early today!"
Actually, Qin Feng had arrived much later than usual that morning. He'd drunk a bottle of wine alone the night before and
was a bit tipsy. He'd gotten up late this morning, so by the time he arrived, morning self-study had already ended, and the students
were already running and doing morning exercises on the playground. Yet, the old gatekeeper was complimenting him on arriving early, as if leaders were expected to be late and
leave early.
Qin Feng didn't say anything, just smiled faintly in response, and quickly walked towards the teaching building. Along the way,
he encountered many people who greeted him warmly, each with a friendly smile, as if
they were seeing long-lost relatives. This made Qin Feng feel very uncomfortable. Previously, no one had taken him seriously, but
as soon as the news of his promotion spread, everyone's attitude had completely changed—it felt fake, yet undeniably
real. "
Humans are such opportunistic and hypocritical creatures," Qin Feng cursed inwardly as he walked towards the administration office.
He'd just reached the door when he bumped into Zhang Dafa, whose eyes were bloodshot, clearly having slept poorly the night before. Zhang Dafa's expression was unfriendly,
his eyes filled with malice.
"Qin Feng, what's wrong with you? Look at the time! Coming to work at this hour? Don't you have
any discipline? How are you going to set a good example for the students?" Zhang Dafa had indeed had a bad night's sleep, and a surge of
anger . He was extremely furious at Qin Feng for suddenly interfering.
Yesterday, Zhang Dafa had contacted his backer in the Education Bureau, who had subtly implied that his promotion was likely hopeless
and revealed a shocking secret: Qin Feng hadn't originally been considered for the promotion and was slated to be
removed from Yincheng No. 1 Middle School. However, the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee had suddenly intervened, mentioning Qin Feng's name and demanding
that the Organization Department prioritize his development. With the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee in charge of cadre management and the Organization Department making the nomination, the Education Bureau had no power
to intervene .
Qin Feng and Zhang Dafa had never gotten along. Ever since they arrived at Yincheng No. 1
High School, Zhang Dafa had been looking down on Qin Feng. The main reason was that Qin Feng had graduated from a prestigious normal university in Beijing, while Zhang Dafa had only
graduated from . Qin Feng's sense of superiority made Zhang Dafa feel inferior and resentful, so
he had openly and secretly made trouble for Qin Feng quite a bit. Although they shared an office, their resentment had been building for a long time, and their conflict was irreconcilable.
Qin Feng ignored Zhang Dafa's provocation. He had indeed been late that day. He glared at Zhang Dafa and
walked straight to his office. But behind him came Zhang Dafa's relentless roar: "Stop! You, Qin, you have to
explain yourself, or this isn't over!"
Stopping, Qin Feng turned around and glared coldly at Zhang Dafa, scoffing, "You're sick!"
Zhang Dafa felt severely insulted. "You, Qin Feng, haven't even been promoted yet, and you already don't respect me at all. What will you
be get promoted!" "Too presumptuous, too arrogant!" Zhang Dafeng roared, his face flushed red. "Hey Qin,
what's so great about you? The documents haven't come down yet, you're nobody! I'm your boss, I'm in charge of you!"
"Director Zhang, are you out of your mind? You're
making a mountain out of a molehill. I was just late. Go ahead and report me to the principal. Snitch me, dock my pay, fine me my bonus. What other tricks do you have up your sleeve? Bring it
on , I'll take it." Qin Feng retorted sharply. Over the years, Zhang Dafeng had punished him countless times, always
snitching on him, which made him despise him.
Qin Feng was no pushover either. A top student from Beijing, he had to endure humiliation and disdain in this small town,
his ambitions thwarted, and he was seething with resentment. He was about to be promoted, and that hadn't bothered Zhang Dafeng at all. What did Zhang Dafeng
think he was doing, acting so arrogantly?
Hearing their argument, people from various departments peeked out, watching the back-and-
forth with glee. Vice Principal Qin Ming, in charge of teaching, came out of his office, glared at the two men coldly, and growled,
"What's all the noise about! Aren't you ashamed to do this in front of so many people? Director Zhang, come to my office, I need to
talk to you."
Zhang Dafa glared at Qin Feng with intense resentment, stormed towards Vice Principal Qin Ming's office,
and upon reaching Qin Ming, began his usual tattling: "Principal Qin, this Qin Feng is a real scoundrel! He's
late doesn't even reflect on his own actions, he even tries to shift the blame!"
Qin Ming said coldly, "Shut up, come in, I need to talk to you."
Zhang Dafa entered Qin Ming's office... The door closed, and Qin Feng entered the Academic Affairs Office. The people in
the office swarmed around him, bombarding him with questions: "Director Qin, they say good news makes people happy, but
what happened to you? You got into an argument with Director Zhang as soon as you arrived."
Qin Feng chuckled lazily and said indifferently, "It's nothing. I ran into a mad dog first thing this morning;
consider it a bite. Everyone, get back to work, don't let this delay your work."
But no one left the office; they surrounded Qin Feng, asking him all sorts of questions, each one showing great concern.
Everyone had heard that Qin Feng was about to be promoted to Director of the Academic Affairs Office, and Zhang Dafa was likely
to have to make way for him. A new emperor brings a new court; everyone was eager to build a good relationship with their new superior so
they could reap some benefits later.
"Director Qin, I heard the document announcing your promotion is about to be issued. You'll have to treat us to a meal today!"
"We're having an early celebration for you in our office!" a middle-aged woman said with a beaming smile, her
makeup , making Qin Feng feel a little nauseous.
This woman was a gossip; she was always involved in any trouble, and she had often tripped Qin Feng up.
But today, she was unusually attentive to him. As soon as Qin Feng entered, she filled his cup with water
and handed it to him, adding a generous amount of her own precious tea leaves, and kept hovering around him.
"It's still far from certain, you can't just say things like that," Qin Feng replied casually. Having
spent a long time in the small officialdom of Yincheng No. 1 High School, Qin Feng had become accustomed to the ups and downs of officialdom and had become very cautious. He couldn't let his guard down
until the very last moment, lest someone seize on his weakness.
Chapter 5 A Date with a Beauty
Although the attitudes of those around him had changed, everything at the school remained the same. Qin Feng still made his usual
rounds in the classrooms, and every substitute teacher he encountered greeted him with a warm smile, their attitudes
increasingly enthusiastic.
Qin Feng quickly got used to this; it's human nature to seek advantage and avoid harm, and to be opportunistic, which is understandable. However,
deep down, he felt an unprecedented pressure. Everyone's enthusiasm for him was simply because he was
likely to be promoted to a permanent position. But if something went wrong and he ultimately failed, the consequences were predictable. These people would immediately
turn on him , and his situation would be worse than before.
The bell for the last class of the morning was about to ring. Qin Feng headed to his office, intending to
finish his work and then go out for lunch. At this moment, a slender figure appeared from the English teaching and research office,
her high heels clicking loudly as she walked straight towards him. The woman was impeccably dressed and stylish, her
long, glossy black hair casually tied back in a ponytail. Her pretty face was as cold as ice, her gaze unwavering, exuding arrogance and
aloofness , a posture that commanded respect.
This icy beauty was Ouyang Qing, an English teacher at Yincheng No. 1 High School, a renowned cold
beauty . A graduate of Shanghai International Studies University, she had also studied briefly in England, making her a true elite returnee. She was usually
as haughty as an airplane, never giving anyone a second glance except to a select few leaders. Of course, she had the right to be arrogant.
Compared to the other teachers at Yincheng No. 1 High School, she was a worldly, educated returnee
elite , so it was only natural that she looked down on these country bumpkins from Yincheng.
"Director Qin, hello, just doing your routine inspection?" Qin Feng was surprised that Ouyang Xue would actually
greet him this time. A rare smile appeared on her usually cold face, which seemed to owe everyone a debt, her eyes narrowing into crescent moons,
making her incredibly beautiful and captivating.
Qin Feng initially thought he was hallucinating, that he had misheard or misseen. He subconsciously shook his head, then
looked at the smiling, pretty face before him, realizing he wasn't hallucinating. A little flattered, he replied, "Yes,
Ouyang, the last period is English
." "Yes," Ouyang Qing said with a smile, her icy expression transforming into boundless allure. Her voice was sweet and coquettish
as she said, "Congratulations, Director Qin! I heard you're getting a promotion."
In the past, Ouyang Qing had always been arrogant, rarely giving him a proper look. Each time they passed each other, he could only catch
a whiff of her fragrance, but they hardly ever exchanged a few words. Like all men, beautiful women are always
the focus of attention, the object of the male teachers' fantasies. Qin Feng had also secretly coveted Ouyang Qing's beauty,
but he was well aware of his position at the school—a neglected and looked down upon low-level cadre. How could he possibly catch
Ouyang Qing's eye? These thoughts could only be kept secret, swallowing hard.
Today, Ouyang Qing took the initiative to be friendly. Qin Feng thought he would remain unmoved, but he suddenly realized he was also
a bit of a sycophant. Ouyang Qing's casual words made him weak in the knees, and he couldn't help but feel a little smug. He
humbly said, "Don't rush to congratulate me. There's still no follow-up, hehe."
If it were anyone else, Qin Feng would at most give a few perfunctory replies, but facing a proud and aloof beauty like Ouyang Qing, who
was also a returned overseas student, he subconsciously hoped to gain her approval, so his words inevitably contained a hint of smugness.
Ouyang Qing's attitude today was indeed unusually good. She smiled and said, "Director Qin is very cautious. Although there's no
follow-up , the news has spread throughout the Municipal Party Committee's Organization Department. How could this matter go wrong? Besides, you are
a top student who graduated from a prestigious university. You've just been overlooked here. Promotion is only a matter of time."
Qin Feng smiled, feeling a surge of pride inside. Just then, the bell rang for class. Ouyang Qing's expression turned serious, and
she strode towards the classroom. After taking only two steps, she suddenly stopped, turned back, and smiled sweetly at Qin Feng. She then
asked , "Do you have time at noon? How about we have lunch together?"
Qin Feng was stunned, completely taken aback. He hadn't expected this proud and aloof beauty to not only
change but also to take the initiative to invite him. What was going on? Qin Feng was completely bewildered. Had the sun
risen in the west today, or was his chance to win her heart? He was so stunned that he didn't react in time. (

However, Ouyang Qing misunderstood, thinking Qin Feng was unwilling. Her expression changed instantly, reverting to her usual coldness
. She said icily, "If you're not free, that's fine. No pressure." With that, Ouyang Qing turned to leave. Qin Feng reacted
and immediately called out, "Wait! You have time! Where do you want to go?"
Ouyang Qing's mood improved. She gave Qin Feng a charmingly disdainful look and said softly, "Wait for me at
the intersection of Panxuan Road after work. I'll drive over to pick you up."
With that, Ouyang Qing drifted away, leaving Qin Feng bewildered. This was too sudden.
He never expected the cold beauty from Yincheng No. 1 High School to invite him out to dinner. It was unbelievable. Was
there some hidden reason
? Torn between anxiety and sweet anticipation, Qin Feng spent his last class in the office,
feeling incredibly conflicted. He hoped the bell would ring soon so he could
have lunch with the school's aloof goddess, but he also dreaded it, fearing his beautiful fantasies would be shattered. Qin Feng
knew very well that a beauty like Ouyang Qing was beyond his reach; countless others
coveted and he was unlikely to be fortunate enough to possess her.
Finally, the agonizingly long class period ended, the bell rang, and students and teachers poured out of
the school, leaving as quickly as possible. Qin Feng walked out of the school and strode towards the roundabout intersection where he had arranged to meet Ouyang Qing.
But he hadn't gone far from the school gate when he heard a voice, both incredibly familiar and utterly unfamiliar, behind him.
"Qin Feng, you stop right there!"
Hearing this voice, Qin Feng involuntarily shivered, thinking to himself: Damn it, why is she here?
Qin Feng turned his head and saw his ex-wife, Sophie, with a cold expression, dressed in a women's suit. Sophie didn't
look well; her eyes were bloodshot, and her clothing was still as old-fashioned and conservative as before the divorce.
She wore work clothes most of the year, and although she did wear makeup, it was clearly ineffective, making her look older than her actual
age . Since last winter, they had been in a cold war all winter, barely speaking to each other.
Things improved during the Spring Festival, but the arguments only intensified. Sophie was extremely dissatisfied with Qin Feng's situation;
all her hopes were pinned on this man, but he repeatedly disappointed her, making her feel ashamed in front of relatives and
friends. This marriage was tasteless, and fortunately, they had no children to worry about after many years of marriage, which allowed her
to choose divorce without hesitation. (Due to space limitations, follow the WeChat public account [Ruolan Bookstore] and reply with the number 148

But only a few days after the divorce, she actually came looking for him.
