Song Guanchao arrived at the restaurant early, and only when ordering did he suddenly realize he never seemed to know what Wu Qiangwei liked to eat.

But he remembered the few times he had meals at Wu Qiangwei's house.

After ordering, Song Guanchao felt a surge of inexplicable excitement.

When the second dish was served, Wu Qiangwei arrived.

Song Guanchao trotted over, naturally took her bag, and pulled out a chair: "Sit."

Wu Qiangwei reflexively rolled her eyes, and after realizing it, she immediately put on a serious face.

Her reaction was all caught in Song Guanchao's eyes.

He thought to himself, our mayor is deliberately putting on airs.

It seems she's still mindful of the situation with Qu Xiangru and me.

After the last dish was served, Song Guanchao asked the waiter to leave and poured her a glass of coconut juice.

"Mayor, was work smooth today?"

"Liang Jianfeng came to me today."

Song Guanchao was taken aback: "Mr. Liang spoke to you?"

Wu Qiangwei didn't answer but asked instead: "Why didn't you tell me?"

"..." Song Guanchao said, "This matter has been going on for almost a month now, back then you hadn't taken office yet."

This reason was impeccable, but Wu Qiangwei had already anticipated he would say this.

"Whether I had taken office or not, you are still the district head of Lingjiang City. The Provincial City needs your cooperation, whether it's Liang Jianfeng or you, you should have informed Lingjiang."

"..." Song Guanchao was now at a loss for words.

"Eat, eat, this yellow croaker is very fresh..."

"Song Guanchao!"

Wu Qiangwei lightly scolded: "Don't mess around with me! I'm talking to you!"

"Mayor, don't be so serious, it's not work hours now."

Song Guanchao felt helpless: "I know you care about me, but the incident happened suddenly, and it's an issue of the Provincial City, it has nothing to do with Lingjiang. It's just that I was a bit unlucky to stumble upon it."

Wu Qiangwei blushed slightly, softly snorted: "Who's caring about you, don't flatter yourself! I'm discussing work with you!"

"Yes, yes, we're discussing work, let's eat first, we can talk after we eat, I'm starving."

Song Guanchao said while rubbing his stomach.

Wu Qiangwei really wanted to keep a stern face, but they were too familiar with each other, no matter how cold and angry she pretended to be, she couldn't fool Song Guanchao.

"Eat."

She picked up her chopsticks and stopped looking at him.

"Mayor, did the City Government Office recommend a secretary for you?"

"It's not your business."

"Isn't it just showing concern for you."

"No need for your concern."

"Come on, if we talk like this, the conversation won't go anywhere."

Song Guanchao shamelessly said: "You are new here, especially with Zhang Yan around, you must choose the secretary carefully, thoroughly check their background, make sure it's not someone belonging to Zhang Yan."

Pa!

Suddenly, Wu Qiangwei threw the documents she brought in front of him.

"What's this?"

"A list of secretaries, aren't you concerned? Then you take care of the investigation."

After speaking, Wu Qiangwei continued to eat her meal.

From Song Guanchao's angle, he could just see her slightly blushing profile.

She had just said there was no need for his concern, but in the next second, she asked him to check it out, and even had the list of candidates for secretary prepared in advance.

This kind of insincerity made her feel a bit embarrassed.

Song Guanchao could naturally tell, she had long decided to let him check it out, she just didn't expect the conversation to lead to speaking too heavily.

This sudden change of mind left her a bit awkward.

"Hehehe."

"What are you laughing at?" Wu Qiangwei glared at him angrily.

"Not laughing, who's laughing? I have a sore throat, just clearing it."

"..." Wu Qiangwei viciously bit down on the pork rib in her mouth, and ended up using too much force, hitting her tooth, letting out an ouch while holding her cheek, in some pain.

"What's wrong?"

Song Guanchao reflexively grabbed her hand, holding her chin: "Open your mouth."

Wu Qiangwei's brain hadn't caught up yet, and she instinctively opened her mouth, following his rhythm.

Her lips were red and lively, her teeth were white and neat, with a bit of blood on her incisors.

"Wow, bit a bit hard, it's bleeding."

Song Guanchao spread his hand, said: "Spit out the rib."

"So dirty... ugh..."

Wu Qiangwei watched Song Guanchao's fingers reaching in, suddenly widening her eyes.

She even felt that Song Guanchao's fingers touched her tongue.

He took out the rib, picked up the tea, and handed it over: "Rinse your mouth."

Wu Qiangwei turned her little face to the side, rinsed her mouth.

When she turned back, a lingering hint of red remained on her face.

The faint blush tugged at Song Guanchao's heartstrings.

The atmosphere suddenly turned a bit ambiguous.

Song Guanchao also realized his actions earlier were a bit over the line, both of them knew, but neither mentioned it.

"Better not eat the ribs."

"I'm eating." Wu Qiangwei seemed to be deliberately going against him, with a tone like a pouting couple.

Song Guanchao smiled helplessly: "Then I'll help you remove the bone."

He asked the waiter for a knife and fork, separated the ribs meat from the bone, and placed it in her bowl.

Watching his meticulous actions, Wu Qiangwei couldn't help but think of him and Qu Xiangru, suddenly feeling a bit gloomy.

Noticing her mood change, Song Guanchao sighed inwardly, suddenly changing the topic, he asked: "Did you meet the director of the City Government Office today?"

"Hmm."

"What's his name?"

"Yao Guangsong."

"He came to see you of his own accord?"

"Hmm."

"He wants to cozy up to you?"

"Hmm."

"Get rid of him."

"???

Wu Qiangwei showed a moment of confusion, then belatedly realized, throughout the conversation, he had been leading her.

"What did you say?"

"Get rid of him."

"Why?"

"First, if today he can swiftly cut ties with Zhang Yan for his cap on his head, tomorrow he can sell you out. Such a person is not worth befriending."

"Second, if he doesn't roll out, how do I make progress?"

"???" Wu Qiangwei was even more confused.

She understood the first part, but what did the last part mean?

Song Guanchao looked at her seriously and solemnly, said: "I want to come to the Provincial City."

Wu Qiangwei's eyes flickered, she actually didn't dare to meet his gaze.

She slightly turned her head, trying to remain calm: "If you want to come to the Provincial City, figure it out yourself."

Song Guanchao said: "I have a backer and don't use it, there's a shortcut and don't take it, why should I figure it out myself?"

These words were shameless enough.

But Wu Qiangwei knew him, he wasn't the kind of person who likes using privileges.

And if he truly wanted, with his ability, it wouldn't be difficult.

He seemed to be saying this just for Wu Qiangwei to hear.

At this point, Song Guanchao suddenly grabbed her hand, his eyes, full of deep affection like looking at a puppy, fixed on Wu Qiangwei.

"Mayor, I really want to progress, get rid of him, transfer me to the Provincial City."

"The water in the Provincial City is so deep, with you alone in the City Government, I'm not at ease."

"You... you let go."

Wu Qiangwei's heart raced like a deer, her voice even trembled.

She wanted to withdraw her hand, but he held it tightly, she couldn't pull it out.

"If you don't agree, I won't let go." Song Guanchao fully exercised his rascal traits.

"I, I... I agree, just let go of my hand."

"Really?"

Song Guanchao was elated, suddenly tugged, pulling her into his arms, and while holding her tightly, said: "Thank you so much, Mayor, I'm really so happy."

In his heart he thought, Mayor really has a soft body.
