Actually, the moment Song Jianguo started speaking, Song Ming immediately sensed something was wrong. He knew that Song Jianguo's visit today was not for any inspection work or to visit the grassroots; it was entirely a reinforcement brought out by Tang Yumeng.

Everyone listened very seriously. Some were even taking notes, summarizing the frameworks and jargon of Secretary Song's speech.

Then, Song Jianguo shifted the topic: "Although Tang Yumeng holds the prestigious position of the City Committee Secretary, she is after all a woman. And since she is a woman, why can't she have a romantic relationship? Although it's said that Lin Chuan is just a driver, who has decreed that the City Committee Secretary can't date a driver? I, on the contrary, admire this spirit and courage. Lin Chuan has no money, no house, no car, yet Tang Yumeng still fancies him. Why is that? It must be because Lin Chuan embodies the spirit and qualities that she values. That's what you need to learn from..."

Song Jianguo is adept at speaking, capable of talking for hours on end without giving you a chance to interject.

Suddenly, everyone felt relieved, and those who were taking notes also put down their pens. Clearly, Song Jianguo was the reinforcement that Tang Yumeng had brought in. All this talk was simply to support Tang Yumeng.

With Song Jianguo's support, Tang Yumeng was naturally free from any problems, and Song Ming naturally did not dare to say much more.

Not until Song Jianguo finished speaking did Song Ming quickly grab the microphone, saying, "I think Secretary Song's speech was truly excellent. Party and government officials are also human, and being human means having emotions and desires. It is perfectly justified for Secretary Tang to have a romantic relationship, right? This is a shining point for our government's image; moreover, it is conducive to the nation's harmony and stability, and beneficial for the work of the City Committee and City Government..."

Song Ming quickly added a few more words.

Applause...

The morning passed quickly, and as the meeting concluded, everyone clapped their hands vigorously, with a very enthusiastic applause.

Song Jianguo managed to clear the air for Tang Yumeng, estimating that from this meeting onward, probably no one would dare to gossip about Tang Yumeng and Lin Chuan anymore.

Song Ming returned to his office with a dark expression.

Just as he reached his office, his son Song Hao hurried in.

"Dad, what's going on?" Song Hao asked anxiously.

"Ah, I don't know how Tang Yumeng managed to bring out Song Jianguo," Song Ming said with a wry smile.

"I don't care about Tang Yumeng; I just want to deal with Lin Chuan," Song Hao said through clenched teeth.

Having seen Tang Yumeng today, Song Hao suddenly changed his mind. The beauty of Tang Yumeng completely captivated him; this stunning woman had already infatuated Song Hao. He had never seen Tang Yumeng before and had no idea what a beautiful woman was. Now, having seen Tang Yumeng, he immediately realized that she might be the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Therefore, Song Hao decided to make a move on Tang Yumeng.

Although knowing that Tang Yumeng and Lin Chuan were in a romantic relationship did not affect Song Hao's inner desire to pursue Tang Yumeng. What was Lin Chuan? What right did he have to pursue Tang Yumeng? He was nothing but a lousy driver. After a few days of investigation, Song Hao also found out that Lin Chuan had a bunch of useless buddies, and a few barely profitable projects. However, the money earned from those so-called projects was, for Song Hao, not even worth mentioning.

Suddenly, Song Ming asked: "Haozi, have you taken a fancy to Tang Yumeng?"

"Dad, how did you know?" Song Hao was startled and then suddenly grinned, saying, "I was just about to talk to you about that."

"No way!" Song Ming immediately shook his head.

"Why?" Song Hao was taken aback and pressed, "Although Tang Yumeng is older than me, she's not that much older. Plus, she's unmarried, and so am I. Why can't I pursue her?"

"I..." Song Ming was momentarily at a loss for words, but then gritted his teeth and said, "Just because it's not right."

"Dad, I can't listen to you on this one," Song Hao immediately shook his head, saying, "Anyway, I've made up my mind to pursue Tang Yumeng."

"You!" Song Ming was somewhat angry, but just as he was about to speak, Song Hao had already walked out. Song Ming hastily called out, "You scoundrel, come back here."

Song Hao wouldn't care about any of this; he walked out fuming with anger.

Once Song Hao set his mind on something, not even nine oxen could pull him back. He said he wanted to pursue Tang Yumeng, so he was determined to fight it out to the end. Just like the saying goes, he wouldn't turn back until he hit the south wall, wouldn't shed tears until he saw the coffin.

There were just a few tricks up Song Hao's sleeve when pursuing women: acting cool, giving flowers, striking up conversations…

Unfortunately, these moves were doomed to have no effect on Tang Yumeng.

As Tang Yumeng was walking back to her office from the meeting room, she was suddenly stopped by a man wearing a white hoodie with an odd hairstyle and even sporting a lip ring. The man deliberately acted cool, blocking Tang Yumeng's path.

"What's the meaning of this?" Tang Yumeng frowned and said, "How can just anyone walk into the City Committee's office?"

Facing Tang Yumeng's displeasure, everyone behind her dared not utter a sound.

At this moment, Xiao Xue hurriedly said, "Secretary Tang, he... he is the son of Vice-Secretary Song, called Song Hao."

"Song Ming's son?" Tang Yumeng was taken aback.

Right then, Song Hao spoke, "Hello Tang Yumeng, my name is Song Hao, nice to meet you."

While speaking, Song Hao extended his hand politely.

However, Tang Yumeng bluntly rejected him, "This is the City Committee building, not a place for you to act cool and show off."

Having said that, Tang Yumeng turned and left.

Watching Tang Yumeng's retreating figure, Song Hao was not only unangered but instead revealed a trace of excitement. Just like a starving wolf eyeing a challenging prey, he looked at Tang Yumeng's back with interest and said, "Interesting, Tang Yumeng... the name sounds pretty, and it suits her good looks. Heh heh... I like your icy cold demeanor."

After finishing, Song Hao turned and left.

At the junction on Huai Mountain South Road.

A black Audi slowly pulled to a stop. At the junction, a man in jeans with a white shirt tucked in, and sleeves rolled up, was holding a cigarette. Once the car had stopped, a man in a black suit got out of the car and hurriedly said, "Lin Chuan, Secretary Song invites you into the car for a talk."

Lin Chuan nodded his head, ready to get in.

At this moment, the man in the black suit awkwardly said, "Your... your cigarette…"

"Let him come up," Song Jianguo said.

"Yes!" The man in the black suit quickly nodded.

After Lin Chuan got in, Song Jianguo smiled and said, "I didn't expect that you would call me just to ask for this favor."

"Sorry for the trouble," Lin Chuan replied with a smile.

"Lin Chuan, there is something I want to ask you in person," Song Jianguo said solemnly, staring at Lin Chuan.
