Zhou Li waited for half an hour before she heard footsteps in the corridor, which came from the stairs. She guessed that Wan Zixuan might have come. Zhou Li couldn't help but look excited and was excited. No matter how anxious she was, she had to cheer up in front of Wan Zixuan.

Wan Zixuan walked over the stairs and saw Zhou Li. Wan Zixuan smiled slightly, "Master Zhou, please wait for a long time."

"No, I'm not sure. I'm not disturbing you so late." Zhou Li said hurriedly, observing Wan Zixuan calmly. Seeing Wan Zixuan's smiling face, Zhou Li felt unreasonable. If Wan Zixuan was in a good mood, she might be better at speaking later.

Wan Zixuan smiled at Zhou Li, opened the office door and walked in, turned on the light. Wan Zixuan signaled Zhou Li to sit down and asked casually, "What's the matter with Mayor Zhou so late?"

"County magistrate, I'm here to admit my mistake to you." Zhou Li said solemnly.

"What mistake is admitting?" Wan Zixuan glanced at Zhou Li, walked to the opposite Zhou Li to sit down.

"County magistrate, yesterday a serious safety accident occurred in a small stone mine in our town, killing five people and seriously injuring two people. The nature is very bad, but our town did not report it in time. As the mayor, I am responsible and feel guilty." Zhou Li lowered her head and acted as if she was frank and wrong.

"Since you know you have a responsibility, why not report it in time? Do you, the mayor, still have some organizational discipline?" Wan Zixuan suddenly scolded.

Zhou Li didn't expect that Wan Zixuan would change his face and flip the book quickly, and she was still laughing for a moment. In this blink of an eye, she changed her face and was scolded so violently by Wan Zixuan. Zhou Li was stunned and sat in a daze, not knowing how to answer Wan Zixuan.

Seeing that Zhou Li didn't say anything, Wan Zixuan continued, "Mayor Zhou, if the Provincial Daily reporter had not gone to your town, I think you wouldn't come to me to report this matter tonight, right?"

"County magistrate, after the accident yesterday, I thought about reporting to the county in time, but...but..." Zhou Li stammered.

"But what?" Wan Zixuan asked.

Zhou Li hesitated. She didn't know if Liu Lijie said something to Wan Zixuan first. If Liu Lijie had already shifted the blame first, then she would put the problem on Liu Lijie's head and would only have a worse impression in front of Wan Zixuan.

"You have come over and haven't thought about what to say yet?" Wan Zixuan glanced at Zhou Li, "If you haven't thought about it yet, then go back and think about it carefully, know what you are going to say, come over again."

"County magistrate, it's not like that. I just don't know if I should tell the truth, but I'm afraid that if I tell the truth, it will make you feel that you are shirking responsibility." Zhou Li had a bitter face.

"You haven't even said that, how do you know I think you are shirking responsibility?" Wan Zixuan said coldly.

Zhou Li gritted her teeth. Since she had already reached this point, she had nothing to hesitate. No matter whether Liu Lijie said anything, Zhou Li felt that she had to tell the truth, otherwise the blame might be on her.

"County magistrate, after the accident yesterday, I told Secretary Lijie that he wanted to report to the county, but Secretary Lijie disagreed. He said that you had visited our town a few days ago and praised the development and planning of the stone industry in the town. In a blink of an eye, a stone mine collapse accident occurred. Secretary Lijie felt that it would greatly reduce your impression of the town, so he asked to suppress the matter and not report it." Zhou Li told the truth, "Yesterday at the rescue site, Secretary Lijie and I argued about this matter once. After the rescue was over, in Secretary Lijie's office, Secretary Lijie and I communicated again. Secretary Lijie still insisted on not reporting it, so I also obeyed Secretary Lijie's words."

Zhou Li said at the end and lowered her head.

Zhou Li's words made Wan Zixuan very angry, "Liu Lijie told you not to report it, don't you, are you his followers?"

"County magistrate, Secretary Lijie is the top leader after all. As the mayor, I can only respect his opinions." Zhou Li said.

"Liu Lijie is the top leader, but what about you? You are also the top leader. Don't forget that you are the mayor and the government chief of a town. You also have your own responsibilities." Wan Zixuan scolded.

Zhou Li did not defend herself again this time. No matter what, she did have any faults. If she continued to explain, it would only make Wan Zixuan feel that she wanted to blindly shirk responsibility.

In fact, the words Zhou Li just now have a bit of ruling responsibility in Wan Zixuan's ears. Through Zhou Li's own narration and explanation, the image of a mayor who has no responsibility and opinions has already appeared in front of Wan Zixuan.

"Mayor, I do have a responsibility for this matter. I have not insisted on my own opinions and reported to the county. Therefore, no matter what the county does to me, I will obey and have no complaints." Zhou Li said again at this time.

"This is quite a bit responsible." Wan Zixuan's face was a little slower, and Zhou Li's words made him feel more comfortable.

After thinking for a while, Wan Zixuan said, "Master Zhou, you go back first. Let's not mention the matter of punishment now. The county will investigate the matter clearly. How to hold the accountable and who should be punished? The county will have a fair judgment."

"Okay, County Magistrate, then I won't bother you anymore." Zhou Li nodded, and didn't have the nerve to stay again. However, after talking about this, Zhou Li felt much more relaxed.

Leaving Wan Zixuan's office, Zhou Li pondered about her performance just now, thinking that she had come to confess her mistakes, and she would be punished in retrospect. Wan Zixuan would always consider this? But her performance just now was not perfect. Zhou Li calmed down and felt that she should not explain too much except for telling the truth.

When she returned to her car, Zhou Li thought of calling her elder brother. She was anxious when she came here, otherwise she should have a phone call with her elder brother first. At least the experienced brother in the officialdom could give her an idea to help her advise. She can get to this position now entirely because of the care of the elder brother who serves as deputy director in a certain place in the Provincial Finance Department.

Wan Zixuan waited for Zhou Li to leave, looked up at the wall clock on the wall. It was getting late, and Wan Zixuan also left.

When he returned to his residence, Wan Zixuan closed the door in vain and did not close.

Soon, a subtle sound of footsteps came from the stairs, and a light figure flashed in from the door and gently closed the door with his backhand.

Wan Zixuan, who was sitting in the living room, looked back and smiled, "Here you come."

"Hmph, I've put my movements so lightly, but you still hear them." He Jingwen carried her black backpack with her carry, wrinkled her delicate and cute nose, and looked charming.

"I know that there is someone coming to warm my bed later, so of course I have to pay more attention to the movement." Wan Zixuan laughed.

He Jingwen's face turned red, she gave Wan Zixuan a blank look, and still walked over.
