"Young Master Qin, thank you!"
Yang Xin was the first to recover from the shock. After speaking, she was about to kneel down to Qin Ning.
Huang Ping and Yang Wenhua did the same.
The family of three directly bowed down to Qin Ning.
Seeing this, Qin Ning just gently raised his hand, and immediately a force lifted the three of them up. "There's no need for this, it was just a small effort."
Yang Wenhua and his wife were still in immense shock, because such a thing had completely overturned their understanding of the world.
Yang Xin, however, quickly calmed the surprise in her heart.
After all, she had witnessed Qin Ning's extraordinary side before.
"Uncle, when you go out in the future, it's best to wear long pants to cover your leg. If anyone asks, just say it's a prosthetic," Qin Ning smiled faintly.
Hearing this, Yang Wenhua nodded heavily.
"I, I... Young Master Qin, you all sit first, I'll go downstairs to buy some groceries!" Huang Ping said.
Although she knew last night that her daughter was coming back, so she took a leave of absence in advance, she didn't expect them to return so early, and she hadn't even had time to buy groceries.
"Auntie, don't bother, let's go out to eat," Qin Ning thought for a moment and said.
Mainly because there were quite a few people, they would naturally need to prepare a lot of dishes, and the living room wasn't big. Going out to eat would be much more convenient.
"Alright, alright, Auntie will call to book a private room right away."
Saying that, Huang Ping directly took out her phone.
She was an externally hired civilian clerk at the county government, and she was quite well-connected in terms of social networking.
As for the best restaurant in the county, Huang Ping had previously accompanied her leaders to social events there, so she was familiar with it.
Soon, they arrived downstairs.
The gatekeeper, Grandpa Li, was shocked on the spot when he saw that Yang Wenhua was actually able to come down and walk around, and even had an extra leg.
"It's a prosthetic," Yang Wenhua smiled and said very calmly.
Hard of hearing, Grandpa Li asked, "What prosthetic?"
"..."
Without paying much attention, Huang Ping hailed two taxis. After everyone got in, they headed straight to the best restaurant in Jiangling County.
Piaoxiang Pavilion.
Located in the center of the county, the commerce here was quite prosperous, not much inferior compared to the city.
In a private room, everyone ordered their food and then started chatting about daily family matters.
Yang Xin talked with the two elders about her current work, including the fact that she had already signed a contract with the Feiya Group.
The two elders didn't quite understand these things, but they also figured out that their daughter was now working at a company under Qin Fei's name.
Before the food was served, Huang Ping suddenly received a phone call.
Then she frowned slightly, stood up, and said with a smile, "When the food arrives later, you guys eat first. I need to step out for a bit. It just so happens that my leader is in the private room next door, so I'll go report on my work."
"Mom, didn't you take the day off today?" Yang Xin was puzzled.
"I did take a leave, and I handed over my work yesterday, but it seems there's a problem with some details. The leader wants to ask me about it, so I'll go take a look."
Leaving this sentence behind, Huang Ping directly left the private room.
The others didn't mind and continued their casual chat.
Not long after, a few curses could be heard from the hallway outside the private room door.
"Right now, there are so many things to do in the county and we are so busy. I can understand if you take a leave of absence for personal matters, but how come you came to a restaurant to eat? Do you really have something going on?"
"Moreover, yesterday's work was not completely handed over properly. I think you really don't want to work anymore!"
The speaker was a middle-aged man wearing glasses, Lin Zeliang, the director of the county office. There must have been a hiccup during his social event, and the guests in the same private room as him had just left directly.
Lin Zeliang couldn't hold back his anger, which was why he called Huang Ping. He didn't expect her to actually be eating here as well, and he instantly became even more furious.
"Director Lin, I already handed over the work properly yesterday. Duan Liqin is here too, if you don't believe me, ask her."
Huang Ping felt a bit innocent. Yesterday, she had done the handover with Duan Liqin. She had clearly explained everything thoroughly, including some details that needed attention, which she had repeatedly told Duan Liqin twice.
Hearing this, Duan Liqin, who was standing behind Lin Zeliang, immediately became displeased. "How did you hand it over properly to me? Yesterday you just casually said a few words and left in a hurry. There were some things I didn't understand, and when I called to ask you, I couldn't get through."
In fact, Huang Ping was indeed innocent. This social event failed because Duan Liqin herself remembered things wrong, but she didn't want to take the responsibility.
Most importantly, she didn't think she would receive any punishment, because she was Lin Zeliang's niece. Trouble definitely wouldn't find its way to her head; the whole matter had to be blamed on Huang Ping.
"You..."
Hearing this, Huang Ping was dumbfounded. She didn't expect this female colleague, who usually looked quite well-behaved, to actually say such things.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Just then, Qin Ning and the others in the private room were also alerted and came out. Yang Xin frowned and asked.
"Yang Xin?"
Duan Liqin was startled. She looked at Yang Xin, then at Huang Ping, "This is your mom?"
"You are... Duan Liqin?"
Yang Xin was also taken aback and recognized the other party. This was her former junior high school classmate. Both of them attended junior high in the county. Although they hadn't seen each other for some years, her appearance hadn't actually changed much.
As for Duan Liqin, Yang Xin didn't have a good impression of her, because back in school, the other party had targeted her quite often, so their relationship was very poor.
"Mom, what exactly is going on?" she asked with a frown.
Subsequently, Huang Ping carefully explained the whole matter from beginning to end.
After listening, Yang Xin also got a bit angry. She looked at Duan Liqin and Lin Zeliang and said, "How can this matter be blamed on my mom? She already did the handover with you, and since you all came to the social event, it means there was no problem with the handover."
"Just because you say there's no problem means there's no problem?"
Duan Liqin chuckled, "I handled the event according to the handover Huang Ping gave me. Now that there's a problem, your mom definitely has to take the main responsibility!"
"Huang Ping, after you go to work tomorrow, hand in a detailed report and self-criticism to me. Liqin is right, there's no escaping the fact that you bear the main responsibility for this," Lin Zeliang on the side also spoke up.
"You people!"
Hearing this, Huang Ping was so angry that she was left speechless.
But Duan Liqin and Lin Zeliang didn't care what she thought and turned around to leave the restaurant.
"It's fine, Auntie. I'll make a phone call. If it's truly not your problem, no one can make you take the blame," Qin Ning smiled faintly.
After saying that, without any nonsense, he directly took out his phone and dialed Guo Zhengwen's number.
Originally, he had thought about calling Zhou De, but Zhou De was a leader of Liu City, while Jiangling County belonged to Bin City.
So for convenience, he simply called the top leader of Xi Province, Guo Zhengwen, directly, because whether it was Liu City or Bin City, both were under the jurisdiction of Xi Province.

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
