The day after class, Lin Xiao regretted not spending money on a massage; her entire body ached as if she had been beaten up. Resigned to her fate, she went to the nearby Yihe Nursing Station, where she could use her health insurance card without spending cash.
When Lin Xiao arrived, it was mealtime and there weren't many people. She took a number and called for a Female Technician. The technician laid out a fresh sheet and instructed Lin Xiao to take off her jacket and lie down.
The Female Technician's technique was vigorous, especially since she had heard that Lin Xiao practiced Sanda. She focused on the areas where Lin Xiao's muscles were tense, applying firm pressure. Lin Xiao was naturally sensitive to pain, and having been injured a few times during practice by her sparring partners, she found herself asking the technician to ease up every time she pressed down.
The technician explained that if she went easy, it wouldn't be effective. Lin Xiao gritted her teeth and endured the discomfort, occasionally letting out soft sounds of protest.
Meanwhile, Li Hao had just settled into his room at Yihe Nursing Station when he frowned. If there was anything about Yurou County that made him uncomfortable, it was this. Li Hao usually worked out and would get massages on weekends to relax, but in Yu Rao, which was economically underdeveloped, there weren't many leisure facilities.
For instance, the only massage places available were like this one; he wouldn’t step into the more dubious establishments associated with nightlife. Yihe Nursing Station was clean and tidy, but the space was too small. Although each room was separated by partitions, they didn’t block sound well. The muffled sounds from the woman next door were quite distracting.
After hearing her groan again, Li Hao impatiently asked what was happening next door. The male technician couldn’t help but chuckle and explained that the female customer had gone to learn Sanda yesterday and was here for some blood circulation therapy; her session would be over soon.
After listening for another ten minutes, Li Hao realized that the woman next door was clearly struggling; her sounds were not loud cries but rather muffled whimpers of endurance. To a man’s ears, her soft voice seemed somewhat inappropriate.
When the timer finally went off in the adjacent room, Lin Xiao felt as if she could hardly breathe from the pain. She let out a long sigh and called out to the technician, “Is it over? I need to lie here for a moment to catch my breath.”
The Female Technician smiled and advised her not to tense up but to relax instead. After giving a few more instructions, there was silence from next door.
Li Hao recognized the voice—Lin Xiao? She had gone to learn Sanda? Ever since she stopped being his secretary, he hadn’t seen her around on the fifth floor at all; in fact, he hadn’t run into her even once on any floor.
Thinking about their past working relationship made Li Hao’s head ache again. As the saying goes, comparison brings pain; when Lin Xiao had been his secretary, she would report her daily activities as soon as she arrived at work with a notebook in hand. If he suggested any new tasks or projects, she would jot them down immediately.
Even if he mentioned needing to spend a day in the Township researching the planting situation of Shan He Tao fruit, she would have already prepared all relevant information about Shan He Tao cultivation across the county ahead of time.
Then she actively contacted Luo Qianwei to finalize the route. If she couldn't go in the near future, she would remind herself of the original plan when he had time later that week.
As for Zhou Bin and Meng Kai, neither of them could compare to a single capable person. Zhou Bin had experience working in government offices but lacked a solid foundation in writing, while Meng Kai had some writing skills but no experience serving leaders. Moreover, their areas of expertise were not as meticulous as Lin Xiao's.
Lost in thought, Li Hao fell asleep from the comfort of the technician's massage.
After Lin Xiao returned from her massage, she indeed felt much better. On Monday morning, she woke up at seven and remembered what her coach had said, so she went for a run at Jiudu Park. In fact, Lin Xiao used to go to the park in the mornings primarily to memorize materials. She had memorized the entire county's directory, the three fixed plans, and reports for the central, provincial, municipal, and County Government almost word for word.
