Wu Xinan put down his wine glass, looked at the table full of people with puzzled expressions, and smiled slightly. Without explaining, he picked up his chopsticks to eat.

Liang Jianfeng knew this old friend too well.

Not saying a word means he's hiding something to tease you. Even when you can't wait any longer, he still won't say a word, continuing to keep you in suspense.

Hey, I'm not falling for it today.

With a casual air, he raised his wine glass and glanced at Song Guanchao, "Xiao Song, go ahead."

Song Guanchao said, "Today, someone from the Provincial Organization Department came to ask me about Uncle Liang."

Hu Xing asked, "The Provincial Organization Department?"

"Yes."

Song Guanchao said, "The province likely has other plans for Uncle Liang; this is the routine inquiry by the organization."

Liang Jianfeng turned his head, "Old Wu, did people from the Organization Department come to ask you too?"

"Yes."

Wu Xinan wanted to tease him but couldn't because Song Guanchao was present.

Liang Jiajia held her bowl and chopsticks, but had no appetite at all.

No wonder Song Guanchao called her back tonight; it turned out to be such an important matter.

Dad is going to be promoted!

Liang Jianfeng's promotion made Hu Xing and the Liang family's mother-daughter pair happier than him.

The mother and daughter were quite familiar with Liang Jianfeng's temper; before Wu Qiangwei came, he almost retired to a secondary role.

Unexpectedly, this is what he encountered.

In just over half a year, he not only turned things around but secured his position in the City Bureau.

Now, he's also being recognized by the Provincial Committee.

Liang Jiajia asked, "Where does the province intend to transfer my dad?"

Song Guanchao shook his head, "The Organization Department only enquires; they won't tell us these things."

Liang Jianfeng tapped her hand with his chopsticks, saying, "Alright, don't ask too many questions."

"Perhaps, the Organization Department has other reasons for inquiring about me."

"It's not necessarily about a transfer."

He remained relatively calm.

Until everything is finalized, nothing is certain.

Only when the organization's appointment comes through will it be real.

If you're too happy now, what if it doesn't turn out that way?

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Wu Xinan chuckled, "It's definitely a transfer, but it's hard to say where."

"Secretary Song and I analyzed that it's more likely you'll go to the Provincial City."

He looked at Hu Xing, "Sister-in-law, if Old Wu goes to the Provincial City, you have to keep an eye on him. Make sure he doesn't act as impulsively as he did when he was younger."

"After all, being new there and it's the Provincial City. It's better not to achieve anything than to offend anyone."

Just as Liang Jianfeng was about to speak, Hu Xing patted his arm, "I'll keep an eye, but you know Liang's character better than I do."

This meal was delicious.

After eating, the three entered the study and talked for a long time.

Afterward, Wu Xinan led Wu Yun out. As they left, Wu Yun sneaked a look at Song Guanchao.

After they left, Liang Jianfeng sat down and suddenly said, "After I leave, pay more attention to Jiajia."

This was said to Song Guanchao.

"Don't worry, Uncle Liang, with me here, no one will bully her."

Liang Jianfeng thought to himself, as long as you don't bully her yourself.

"It's getting late, let's go back. Let Jiajia drive, you shouldn't."

"Okay."

As they left the house and got into the car, Liang Jiajia couldn't hold back the words she'd been holding in all night.

"Is my dad really going to the Provincial City?"

"Not necessarily," Song Guanchao said, "There haven't been any appointments from above, we're just guessing. But given your dad's qualifications, only the Provincial City is suitable."

After dinner, in the study, Song Guanchao discreetly asked Liang Jianfeng if anyone had discussed this matter with him beforehand.

But no, they hadn't.

Which means this appointment was very sudden.

Directly decided by the province.

Song Guanchao couldn't say whether it was Mayor Zheng and Secretary Lu pushing secretly.

He actually hoped it was Qu Xiangru's personal decision.

A personal decision by Qu Xiangru versus a suggestion by the two is a totally different nature.

After all, Qu Xiangru's purpose is simple: to insert his own people.

But if it's Secretary Lu's both acting, they're likely secretly plotting something bad.

"Hmph, not telling me in advance, I thought you came over for..."

"For what?"

"Nothing."

Liang Jiajia said, "Buckle your seat belt."

The car drove through the night in Lingjiang, past the high-rise buildings of downtown, with lights shining from thousands of homes.

Many white-collar workers had just finished working late and stood exhausted at the intersections waiting for traffic lights or at bus stops.

The traffic was bustling, and the dazzling car lights wove a bizarre city night scene.

The car turned a corner and suddenly got stuck in traffic ahead.

Red and blue police lights flashed in the distance, Liang Jiajia said, "They're checking for drunk driving."

Then she puzzled, "Why check for drunk driving here?"

This road intersection is one of Lingjiang's busiest areas, with countless hotels and clubs around.

Generally, there wouldn't be drunk driving checks here.

Not because of worrying about catching someone they shouldn't, but because at this time it might cause traffic jams.

There's enough trouble during rush hour already, and now there's a traffic jam.

They slowly approached and soon were queued up.

From the crowd of traffic police, Song Guanchao saw a familiar figure.

Jiang Yiren.

Why is she here?

Got caught drunk driving?

"Hello, please blow." The traffic police obviously didn't recognize the two and handed over the breathalyzer.

Liang Jiajia gave a blow, and just as the traffic police were about to let them go, Jiang Yiren suddenly walked over.

She passed by the vehicle, casually glanced through the window, and saw Song Guanchao in the passenger seat.

Jiang Yiren paused, stopped, looked at Song Guanchao twice.

Then continued to walk towards the rear.

Song Guanchao realized she wasn't caught drunk driving, rather, she was assisting in checking for it.

He guessed it might be related to the city's civilized construction initiative.

Who knew this girl's actions were quite fast.

The car resumed its journey, and Liang Jiajia asked, "Did you know that beauty?"

"Uh? What?"

"The beauty next to the traffic police," Liang Jiajia asked, looking straight ahead as if casually chatting.

Song Guanchao marveled at women's sharp intuition, though he had nothing to hide.

"She's the head of the Municipal Committee's Secretariat, from Secretary Lu's faction."

"Oh."

Liang Jiajia said, "No wonder, I thought she seemed a bit unhappy looking at you."

"You can see that?"

"So close, and her eyes are so big, her emotions were pretty obvious, of course, I could see."

"But she's indeed very pretty."

Liang Jiajia remarked, "Seems taller than me, and her skin's whiter too."

"She is indeed a bit taller, your skin's similar."

"How do you know?" Liang Jiajia's tone suddenly became serious, "Did you observe that closely?"

Song Guanchao answered calmly, "Know yourself, know your enemy, you can win a hundred battles."

"Humph."

As the car returned home and they got out, the air had noticeably chilled.

Back at home, as soon as Liang Jiajia put down her bag, she felt herself lift off; Song Guanchao lifted her up.

"What are you doing!"

"Doing you!"

Like a hungry wolf, Song Guanchao threw her onto the sofa, lifted her skirt and was about to kiss, then suddenly stopped.

He looked at Liang Jiajia's bulging lower abdomen and raised his head in surprise, "Is your period here?"

Seeing his confused expression, Liang Jiajia smiled mischievously, "Yep."

Song Guanchao's passion subsided instantly, and Liang Jiajia sat upright, smoothed her skirt, seeing his helpless face, she happily hummed a little tune, picked up some clothes from the room and walked into the bathroom.

A few minutes later, Liang Jiajia's voice came out, "Come in and soap me."

Song Guanchao's eyes suddenly lit up, sprang to his feet, "Coming!"
