During the meal, Assistant Sun stood quietly by the side.

At the table, it was only him and Mr. Tang.

Mr. Tang was really busy, answering many calls during the time.

Although he didn't know who it was, anyone who could communicate with a big shot of this level was definitely not an ordinary person.

In fact, a few calls seemed to be from abroad.

He even heard Mr. Tang using fluent English to communicate with the other party.

It seemed that Mr. Tang noticed Secretary Sun's surprise and voluntarily explained a few words.

He told him that it was his daughter studying abroad.

His daughter had won an award at Harvard University, and he was very happy, planning to donate five hundred million dollars to Harvard.

Secretary Sun had already been hit with a lot of surprises today, but when he heard this news, he couldn't help but marvel at the disparity between people, which was even greater than the disparity between humans and dogs.

After several rounds of drinks, and as the meal was about to end, Mr. Tang casually asked, "When is the bidding for these lands?"

Secretary Sun immediately straightened up: "The bidding is on Wednesday."

Mr. Tang responded with a hum, saying, "If this project succeeds, Secretary Sun, you'll have made a significant contribution."

Secretary Sun modestly said: "It's Secretary Lu who's in charge, I'm just assisting Secretary Lu."

Mr. Tang frowned slightly, and Secretary Sun's heart skipped a beat, thinking he might have misspoken.

But on reflection, it seemed there was nothing wrong with what he said, right?

"I enjoyed this meal, I have a good impression of you, let's just call you Xiao Sun."

"It's my honor," said Secretary Sun. His adrenaline soared, Mr. Tang seemed to hold him in high regard.

Such a big figure seemed to have a pretty good impression of him!

Mr. Tang said: "Xiao Sun, do you know why I sought you, instead of Lu Zhizhong?"

Secretary Sun took a light breath, this Mr. Tang was really disrespectful to Secretary Lu, even addressing him directly by name.

But, on second thought, given Mr. Tang's status, addressing a City Secretary by name wasn't a big deal.

He shook his head: "I don't know."

Mr. Tang didn't answer directly. He naturally lifted his hand, and Assistant Sun handed over a prepared cigar to him, lighting it between his fingers.

Mr. Tang casually took a puff.

Watching his posture while smoking the cigar, Secretary Sun sensed that aristocratic noble aura.

This kind of aura wasn't something a person like him could clumsily imitate.

It takes three generations to nurture a noble.

The family behind Mr. Tang must have more than three generations!

Slowly exhaling the blue smoke, Mr. Tang said: "Lu Zhizhong is too narrow-minded and unfit for greater responsibilities."

"You're quite good, but you're following the wrong person."

Secretary Sun felt a bit nervous and a bit disappointed.

Secretary Lu unfit for greater responsibilities?

Doesn't this mean that following Secretary Lu leads nowhere?

Mr. Tang continued: "In the political arena, if you want to climb up, do you know, what is most important?"

"Please enlighten me, Mr. Tang!"

"Courage."

Mr. Tang said: "Courage has to be big enough!"

"If others don't dare to do something, and you dare and succeed, tell me, who else would they promote if not you?"

"There's someone in your city who's quite bold; is his name Song Guanchao?"

"I quite appreciate him."

Secretary Sun's heart sank, enveloped in a strong sense of disappointment.

He and Song Guanchao were sworn enemies.

Yet now, this big shot appreciates Song Guanchao.

"However."

Mr. Tang shifted his tone: "This Song Guanchao is bold enough but lacks intellect. Brave but not smart; he won't have a long future."

He looked at Secretary Sun: "You're pretty good in many ways, just lacking enough courage."

"Do you know how Secretary Gao got to his position back then?"

Secretary Sun shook his head.

Mr. Tang chuckled: "At that time, he was still a Deputy Governor, and he seized a project from the Governor, finishing it by force."

"Ah?" Secretary Sun was startled: "Didn't the Governor say anything?"

"What could he say?"

Mr. Tang said: "Whether in politics or in the workplace, only results matter, not the process."

"How you do it doesn't matter. What's important is whether you can succeed."

"If you complete this project, it will be Lu Zhizhong's achievement too."

"But if you directly connect with the Provincial Committee, then it can count as your achievement."

"With a performance record of hundreds of billions, whether you want to take the top position in a county or choose a deputy role in a Provincial Department, it's more than enough."

"Isn't that better than following Lu Zhizhong?"

Shaking his head, Mr. Tang said: "I've drunk too much, talking to you about all this."

"Everyone has their own fate. How you choose is up to you."

"Just keep this project for me."

Mr. Tang wasn't negotiating with him; he was informing him.

Secretary Sun nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I will definitely keep it for Mr. Tang."

"Hmm."

Mr. Tang didn't look at him again, stood up, and left.

Secretary Sun escorted him all the way to the door, and Mr. Tang stopped by the restroom on the way.

Outside, Assistant Sun, with a face full of envy, said: "Mr. Tang actually spoke so much to you."

Seeing his envious expression, Secretary Sun realized he had hit a stroke of luck.

Thinking back on Mr. Tang's evaluation of him, he couldn't help but feel elated.

He couldn't help but believe that he was a talent!

A talent more remarkable than Song Guanchao!

And only someone like Mr. Tang, with an aristocratic noble background, could see his brilliance!

The leaders in the city, one by one, are ignorant fools!

Assistant Sun took out his phone: "Secretary Sun, let's add each other as friends."

"Sure."

After adding each other as friends, Assistant Sun said: "Since Mr. Tang mentioned it, if you are interested in this, let me know. I'll help you arrange connections with the Province, so you can meet provincial leaders. This way, the achievement can be counted as yours."

"Of course, if you're afraid, then forget it."

Assistant Sun was deeply tempted.

The achievement as his own?

Thinking of Mr. Tang's proposal, he felt somewhat excited.

He bit his lip and said: "Then I'll trouble Brother Sun!"

Assistant Sun laughed and said: "Mr. Tang saw your potential and casually invested."

"Brother Sun, I look forward to the day you step up to the Provincial Committee ranks. At that time, I will personally invite you to Chuxi City, to visit Mr. Tang's home."

Go to Chuxi City!

Visit Mr. Tang's home!

Secretary Sun was internally excited, feeling a rush of heroic spirit breaking out.

His face flushed red, unsure if it was from the drink or his excitement.

"I believe there will surely be that day!"

At this moment, Mr. Tang came out.

Arriving at the door, Assistant Sun and Mr. Tang got in the car and left.

Once the car got on the road, Assistant Sun unbuttoned his shirt and laughed: "This Secretary Sun sure is easy to fool."

Tang Zhengqiang still had a gentle demeanor: "Yes, easy to fool, but still, you must be careful."

Assistant Sun said: "Brother Tang, the person who asked us to do this, what are they up to? Spending five million just to get us to bid? Isn't that a bit pointless?"

Tang Zhengqiang suddenly turned serious: "We just need to do what we're supposed to do; don't pry into the client's motives."

"I was just asking." Assistant Sun chuckled.
