Early in the morning.
The new inspector general of the third post, Xing Peng, was doing his morning exercise in his luxuriously decorated bedroom.
"Creak! Crack!"
Strange sounds kept sounding, and they sounded very rhythmic.
It was like a slight sound made by the cushion being squeezed.
After a while.
The creaking was gone.
But the sound of gnawing came out, and the food was eaten with gusto, which was also mixed with the intermittent talking of Xing Peng and his wife Fan Xiaoqian.
At first glance.
The newlyweds seemed to be chatting while eating chicken feet and pig's trotters for breakfast.
"Dapeng, you've asked for it so many times in the past two days, why are you still so strong?"
"Xiaoqian, didn't I tell you? At the reward feast the night before yesterday, there was a dish called 'Happy Double Dragons', and I finished half of it by myself!"
"Bah!"
"Oh my god! Bite lightly...the effect is too long-lasting, isn't it?"
"The dishes on that table cost at least two hundred gold coins! I was really flattered by the director that day. It was the first time in my life that I had such a high-end luxury banquet!"
Xing Peng seemed to be interested and started exercising again.
"Creak! Crack!"
The frequency of the sound was obviously faster than before.
It can be heard that this is a very hard-working young man!
A few minutes later.
Everything calmed down.
It seemed like the workout was over.
Fan Xiaoqian exclaimed "Yeah" and started mumbling words such as "it's leaking out", "it's so annoying", "a lot".
Xing Peng kept laughing "hehe".
And then.
The couple whispered again about the wishing monument.
"Dapeng, I heard that as long as you touch the wishing monument for a few seconds, you will enter a strange illusion, right?"
"That's right! Director Cheng actually has another purpose for doing this."
"What purpose?"
"Although the Dream Society has ceased, it has been operating secretly. In this way, the director proved to everyone that the so-called ancestral dream is just an extraordinary method."
"Director Cheng is so awesome!"
"Our sentry chief guesses that the director also has another purpose, which is to use this to conduct a thorough investigation of the thoughts of the lower-level civilians to prepare for the next policy."
"I really didn't expect that there are so many intentions behind a wishing monument."
"The most powerful chief consul in the history of Anhua City, is he living in vain?"
"On the first day after taking office, there was a bloodbath in the Council Hall. It is true that no great consul is stronger than this Excellency. My dad found out about this yesterday and was so shocked that he even dropped his chopsticks."
Although Cheng Han has only been in office for two days, many people can't wait to place the title of "the most powerful consul" on his head.
Not long after.
The couple came out of the bedroom fully dressed and affectionate.
There was a large blush on Fan Xiaoqian's face, and she looked particularly charming. Her big, watery eyes showed off the charm of a charming young woman.

after an hour.
Fan Xiaoqian and her two best friends, each with a maid, arrived at Dongshan Winter Garden in a crystal energy car.
In the past, because the financial situation of the Fan family was inferior to that of her best friends, Fan Xiaoqian was always overshadowed by them when getting along with them.
But now, this young woman is married to the youngest inspector general in the city and has been promoted by the director himself, and their attitudes have changed subtly.
Because of this, when the two best friends sent out an invitation, Fan Xiaoqian agreed immediately.
There is no other reason.
She just wanted to enjoy the envy and jealousy of her best friends.
soon.
The group of people followed the bustling flow of people and approached the place where the wishing monument was located.
Fan Xiaoqian immediately discovered that the situation here seemed different from what her husband said.
After a brief observation, I saw that the people queuing up to make wishes were actually divided into three lines.
A best friend named "Jiang Xiaoxiao" immediately ordered the maid: "Go and inquire about the situation and ask what is going on."
The maid responded: "Yes, ma'am!"
It didn't take long.
The maid came back and reported: "The Civil Affairs Bureau has arranged three passages, namely the 'ordinary passage', the 'deluxe passage' and the 'exclusive passage'.
“There is no fee for the general access, and you are only allowed to touch the wishing monument for fifteen seconds, but there are so many people in line. I heard that the line almost reached the outside of the park.
"You need to pay twenty silver coins for the luxurious passage, and then you can make a wish first, and the time for touching the stone tablet can be extended to thirty seconds.
"The exclusive channel charges an additional fifty silver coins. Not only can you make a wish as quickly as possible, but you can also make a wish for up to one minute."
Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but cursed: "The Civil Affairs Bureau really has money in its sights!"
Another bestie, Zhou Fangqiong, echoed: "Shameless!"
Even though they were wealthy and not short of money, the two young women felt that it was not worth it to touch the stone tablet for dozens of seconds after spending dozens of pieces.
Being crowded together with ordinary people and queuing up would easily make people laugh if word got around that they couldn't help but pay.
Fan Xiaoqian did not speak.
The young woman had a conversation with her husband in the morning and had different ideas about this.
She was almost certain that the strange names of ordinary, fast, and VIP were not like what the Civil Affairs Bureau had come up with, but more like the Grand Consul's style of conduct.
Fan Xiaoqian suddenly understood: "This must be your third purpose for setting up the monument, to take money from the pockets of the rich."
Yesterday, she heard her husband mention something. The Civil Affairs Bureau and the Charity Commission had a discussion, and there would be a big move in the near future.
Combined with today's events, the answer is readily apparent - raising funds.
The more Fan Xiaoqian thought about it, the more surprised she became: "A wishing monument is almost ruined. No wonder my father often said that real big shots often act with foresight."
The young woman looked at her best friend and said with a smile: "Since we are all here, let's go enjoy the exclusive passage."
Since this is the Director's strategy, as a die-hard supporter of the Director (who considers herself), she naturally has to try her best to support it.
The two best friends have already followed her lead, so they will naturally have no objections.

Winter Garden.
Xie You was wearing a close-fitting female secretary uniform, showing off the allure of an office uniform, and was reporting eloquently.
“...So far, the wishing monument has been open for three hours, and the total amount of funds raised has reached one hundred and twenty gold coins.
"After preliminary estimation by the senior accountant, the final amount of funds raised before the New Year should be between 1,830 gold coins and 1,960 gold coins."
Cheng Han nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad!"
He whispered again: "It seems that there are more wealthy people in Anhua City than I expected. If I had known, the price should be higher."
Miss Beauty immediately made a suggestion: "Your Excellency, in a few days, when the number of people in the queue decreases, we may be able to increase the wishing time, and then increase the price accordingly."
Cheng Han praised: "This is a good idea. You should be responsible for this."
Over the past few days, he has discovered that although this beauty is more utilitarian, it is indeed a very capable assistant.
To be fair, she is better than the other female secretary Ying Beibei.
Xie You showed a charming smile: "Okay!"
After talking for a while.
Miss Beauty said goodbye and left.
As the female secretary of the Grand Consul, she needs to take some time every day to go to the Council Hall to handle official business.
at this time.
Ying Beibei, the female secretary of the Inspection Department, knocked on the glass door of the garden office.
"Boom! Boom!"
Ying Beibei pushed the door open and met Xie You's eyes.
The two women nodded and smiled at each other, then quickly looked away.
Ying Beibei immediately greeted her boss: "Good morning, Director!"
Cheng Han replied: "Good morning!"
Xie You puffed up her chest intentionally or unintentionally, walked towards the glass door, and passed by Ying Beibei.
This moment.
From the corner of her eye, Ying Beibei glanced at Miss Beauty's curved body, and hummed in her heart: "You're so sexy!"
At the same time.
This petite girl couldn't help but have a series of thoughts in her mind:
Is it true that when men are young, they all like sexy things, but when they get older, they like pure things?
The Director is very young, so is that why he lets this slut be the female secretary to the Archon?
Ying Beibei lowered her head and glanced in front of her, feeling a strong sense of frustration suddenly well up in her heart.
too small!
Outside the glass door.
Xie You quickly glanced back, a trace of pride flashing across her charming face.
Xiaoping, you are too young!
