Chapter 472: Mind Control

Lai Changqing said, "I went to the town this afternoon for some errands, and when Secretary Wang saw me, he called me into his office and said that the transfer order from above had already come through. He asked me to keep it a secret for now, and I guess that Gu Xi probably doesn't know yet."

"Just pretend you know nothing."

Jiang Xiaobai had long known that Gu Xi couldn't stay in this remote, poor village much longer. The transfer order must have been arranged by Zhuo Lijun using her connections. With the Gu family's background, finding a decent job for Gu Xi in the provincial city was a piece of cake.

There was a bit of disappointment in his heart, but Jiang Xiaobai quickly came to terms with it. What was there to be sad about? He should be happy for Gu Xi instead. After all, Nanwan Village was too small a stage for her. With her abilities and background, she deserved to be on a much broader stage to showcase her talents.
