Chapter 3: Deputy Director of the Education Bureau

A person, it is just like that

Xie Zhijing seemed to have discerned Ren Hao's thoughts and chose not to speak further. Instead, Director Ye expressed his astonishment, saying: "Young student, I saw through the telescope that the moment the gun slid in front of you, you picked it up and shot at the assailant. Your reaction speed and courage are truly remarkable; among your peers, you are undoubtedly outstanding. Haha, indeed, heroes emerge from youth." Director Ye's words were sincere. One must ask, in such a critical moment, even he would find it difficult to reach that level, let alone a sixteen-year-old high school student.

Just as she had just clamped the cigarette holder between her lips, the lighter made a sharp "pop" sound. Xie Zhijing held the lighter in one hand and shielded the flame with the other, preparing to light Ren Hao's cigarette.

A swarm of reporters blocked the entrance, cameras clicking away, capturing the scene in the bank lobby

"Uh, Aunt Jing." Ren Hao felt more nervous than ever. During his rebirth, he had actually touched her chest, oh my god, isn't this asking for my life?

Although it was somewhat strange, in the face of her savior's request, Xie Zhijing did not refuse. With suspicion, she slowly took off her blazer and handed it to him, asking, "What do you need it and the book for?"

"No, no, let me do it myself," Ren Hao said, surprised as he took the lighter. He lit it himself, for how could he dare to let the beautiful female director light a cigarette for him

Ren Hao casually fabricated a story, saying, "I saw him move his hand, so I made a random guess." Surely, one cannot claim to have experienced these things themselves

Recalling Ren Hao's request of "May I touch you for a moment," Xie Zhijing let out a soft giggle, finding it increasingly amusing. The more she thought about it, the more she laughed, holding her belly and chuckling incessantly. Her mature and voluptuous figure quivered repeatedly, exuding a unique allure.

After saying this, Ren Hao couldn't help but blush a little. From a certain perspective, at the age of twenty-five, he indeed had some suspicion of trying to appear younger.

Due to the need to take a statement, Ren Hao and the beautiful woman got into the police car waiting by the roadside

Xie Zhijing looked at Ren Hao, who had turned his head away, with great interest, a smile playing on her mature face: "Xie Zhijing, just call me Aunt Jing."

Touching that plump little hand, Ren Hao couldn't help but recall the texture of her bosom, and his heart began to race even faster

At this moment, Ren Hao, who had his firearm taken away by the police, finally regained his senses. He looked around at the surroundings and, almost instinctively, took a step back to hide behind Xie Zhijing. "Excuse me, could I borrow your suit for a moment?"

Upon exiting the Xuanwu Branch, Ren Hao saw a black Audi parked in front. A beautiful woman, Xie Zhijing, rolled down the window and waved at him, signaling him to get in the car

Ren Hao's expression subtly carried a hint of bitterness, "You flatter me. In fact, my legs were so weak with fear at that time that I can hardly remember what I did afterward. Hehe, I feel quite ashamed." In response to the man, Ren Hao managed to remain quite composed.

Xie Zhijing showed no signs of embarrassment, which made Ren Hao breathe a sigh of relief. He awkwardly scratched his head and then said to the driver, "Excuse me, could you give me a cigarette?" Yan Shun glanced at him, took out a pack of Yuxi cigarettes, and politely handed it to Ren Hao

To be honest, if possible, Ren Hao never wants to see Xie Zhijing again

"Director Xie, I apologize for the scare you experienced. We will certainly take action against that sniper and provide you with an explanation upon our return." Sitting in the passenger seat was Director Ye, who nodded apologetically at Xie Zhijing, "I also appreciate your assistance this time; I will make sure to mention it in my report to the higher-ups and in the library-level documentation."

Xie Zhijing's driver, Yan Shun, glanced at the two through the rearview mirror in a peculiar manner, not understanding what they were saying. Earlier, he had been anxiously waiting outside the bank and had missed the excitement happening inside.

What a shame

Xie Zhijing glanced at him in slight surprise and smiled approvingly, saying, "You are quite observant." She then followed him out.

Xie Zhijing was slightly taken aback: "Oh, is she the same age as my daughter?"

After completing the record, it was already 4 PM

If she is not married, having such an acquaintance as a wife is also quite good

Knowing that he would not die, he instead lost the courage he had before facing death. Ren Hao avoided the beautiful woman's piercing gaze and forced a smile: "My name is Ren Hao, I am sixteen years old, and in a few days I will be attending the Affiliated High School of Normal University."

Xie Zhijing took some paper and a pen, quickly wrote a few lines, and smilingly handed it to Ren Hao: "I would like to thank you once again. This is Aunt Jing's phone number. If you have any matters, you can contact me. Well, as long as it concerns school-related troubles, I can still be of assistance."

Ren Hao coughed lightly and nodded. He felt somewhat hesitant to engage in conversation with the beautiful woman, primarily due to his lack of experience in interacting with women from his previous life.

Xie Zhijing looked at him with a beaming smile, "Deputy Director of the Municipal Education Bureau." She extended her right hand towards Ren Hao.

Ren Hao understands basic etiquette. He quickly extinguishes the cigarette butt and shakes hands with her, saying, "It is a great fortune in three lifetimes, a great fortune in three lifetimes." When he gets nervous, he tends to repeat the same phrase.

Eliminating the distress of scars, returning to the year 2001, there seems to be quite a lot that can be done

This smoking habit is a bad one I picked up during my time as a publishing editor, and for the moment, I truly cannot quit it

After enduring various hardships, Ren Hao gradually matured, and his character became more composed. He was no longer as naive and innocent as before. His aspirations were not particularly high; earning a modest income and marrying a wife whom he found pleasing to the eye was sufficient for him

No, no, it was not that. Previously, I thought I was going to die, and I just did something to you. " Ren Hao's face flushed slightly, " I apologize to you. Please forgive my minor transgressions and do not hold it against me.

I know, I know

Xie Zhijing's beautiful cheeks lifted into a charming smile: "If there is anyone to thank, it should be this little brother. If it weren't for hetushu.com, I wouldn't even know if I would see the sun tomorrow." Not paying any attention to Director Ye's slightly awkward expression, she turned to gaze into Ren Hao's eyes, smiling seductively: "Thank you for saving me. What is your name and which school are you from?"

Ren Hao was taken aback. Director Xie? She is actually an official?

After hesitating for quite some time, Ren Haofang wiped his sweat and got into the Audi, saying, "Hello, Director Xie"

Ren Hao covered his head with a black suit before stepping out with the police. "What if the assailants have accomplices? If they see the reporters' photos, won't they come after me for revenge?" After all, Ren Hao had lived for twenty-five years, and he thought things through thoroughly and was very cautious.

Sitting in the back seat, Xie Zhijing blinked with a half-smile and asked, "Are you afraid of me?"

Ren Hao took the paper with a series of global communication numbers in his hands, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Are you from the Education Bureau?"

"Unfazed by praise or insult, good!" Director Ye nodded in approval. In fact, Yu Guang had been closely observing Director Xie's reaction. "How did you know at that time that the knife-wielding assailant was still alive? Haha, we all thought you were going to put Director Xie in a difficult position."

Ren Hao's expression became even more difficult to maintain, and he lightly cleared his throat: "I truly did not mean to."
