Meng Lu thought that this group of fish would leave after a while, but after waiting for five minutes, there was no sign of them dispersing.

Just as she was hesitating, something suddenly entangled her feet and her body fell sharply.

At that time, she was wondering if she had encountered some bad mermaids. She was already prepared for a fight, but suddenly she fell into the arms of a male. It was quite unexpected.

"Your name is Meng Lu?"

Did he know himself? Meng Lu didn't recognize him. Under the sea, wearing a diving suit, he could only distinguish his friends by their colors, and the only thing he could see was a pair of eyes.

Meng Lu did not reveal his own information first, but asked back.

"Who are you?"

"Adrian, the new mayor, you promoted him."

Meng Lu suddenly realized that it was him. What was his purpose in coming to him this time?

He then spoke first, "Why did you promote me? What do you want me to do?"

This question made her look confused. Does promotion require a reason? Can you just say that you like it?

"Are you going to let me go first?"

Adrian then realized that he was still holding her, and immediately let go of her and stepped back a meter.

Diya was completely stunned and didn't expect anyone to come out. He only reacted when he saw them separate. He immediately came to Meng Lu's side. He thought he was just a pervert who was attracted by her beauty, but she was wrapped so tightly. He must be a pervert. He thought she was easy to bully just because she was a female, right?

The two males were on the verge of a fight, so Meng Lu tried to mediate and decided to go ashore first and talk later.

It’s a pity to waste the money for the package, as it’s not even the stipulated time yet.

The three of them came to a pavilion nearby. Meng Lu took a sip of his drink and listened to their conversation.

Dia was very wary of this strange man who suddenly appeared because she had never seen him before.

"Tell the truth about who you are, or I'm going to call the police."

Adrian smiled. The little brat really believed in the guardian here.

"The new mayor—Adrian."

A new mayor? How come he didn't know about the mayoral change? Dia took out his phone to check, but there was no relevant information, which made him even more certain that the other party was lying.

Seeing his skeptical look, Adrian explained, "He just took office yesterday, and the relevant reports haven't been completed yet. I will update the mayor's information within three days."

Seeing that the other party was still skeptical of him, he looked at Meng Lu beside him, his eyes seemed to be able to speak, wanting her to help explain.

Seeing that she didn't even look at me, I had to give up and talk to the main character directly!

"Ms. Meng, I don't understand what you mean. Can you explain? There are many people who are better than me. Why did you choose me? Is it because of my humble family background that you think I can't resist temptation?"

At this time, Adrian was still very curious about her, and had some prejudices, just like when the old mayor bribed him to do those dirty things, she...maybe was the same.

Rich people just like to promote people with unremarkable family backgrounds. It is easier to control them if there is temptation.

Meng Qi, who had been drinking his drink seriously, finally looked up at him with a smile on his face. "Do you think I'd let you do anything sinister?"

The two of them chatted directly.

She could tell from his eyes that this was what he was thinking.

"Okay, it's normal for you to think that way, because some places are already rotten to the core. It was purely accidental that I chose you. You have a lot of advantages in terms of rapport, ability, and family background."

"Advantage?" Adrian couldn't see where his advantage was.

"I come from a poor family, I'm single, I don't have much savings, and I'm straightforward, which easily displeases my superiors. Although my abilities are considered high within the team, I've never been truly appreciated. I'm almost giving up on this career."

It was not difficult to hear the fatigue and confusion in his tone.

"On the contrary, I admire these things about you. Your humble family background gives you the confidence to climb the ladder, and you don't have the money to bribe anyone. You have good abilities, and your straightforward personality means you're not good at socializing and won't mingle with others. And most importantly, you're young, so you understand what the younger generation wants. That's how you can better create a better D City."

Adrian's hands under the table were trembling slightly. He finally met his mentor.

"Thank you for your trust, Miss Meng. I will definitely not let you down." He then stood up. "My doubts have been resolved. I will not disturb you any longer. Goodbye."

"goodbye."

After walking away, Adrian looked back at the female in the distance. He always felt that she was familiar. It turned out to be the ancient human girl who was in the hot news a few months ago.

Dia had been listening to their conversation the entire time. He wasn't stupid, and he'd already understood what they were saying. Good heavens, was he capable of hearing this? He was terrified and a little shocked. The ancient human girl before him could actually decide such an important matter, and her decision was so correct. No wonder everyone wanted her.

He instantly felt unworthy.

Such a beautiful and visionary ancient human girl should not have too much entanglement with the cowardly him. He would only drag her down. She should shine on Rose Star, and at the same time, people should have more admiration for her.

Seeing that he had been silent, Meng Qi wondered what was going on in his little head, so he asked.

Dia was a little embarrassed. "I... I really admire you. Not only are you successful in your career, but you're also so powerful internationally. I... I'm ashamed of myself and ashamed of confessing my feelings to you. You're such a wonderful person, and you deserve the best partner in the world."

Meng Qi smiled and said, "I have indeed found the best partner."

The two of them didn't say anything else, but just drank their drinks and looked at the people playing by the sea in the distance.

Dia refreshed his cognition. He thought his family was rich and the war did not affect their family's business. The money he earned was enough for him to spend for three lifetimes. He did not need to work anywhere. When he was bored, he would work in the hotel at home. When he didn't want to work, he would play games and find a partner he liked to marry in the future.

But now he doesn't think so. Everyone has his own role to play. He doesn't want to be a rich second-generation who knows nothing. It just so happens that it's not long before he graduates from college. He can also play his role like the new mayor.

Diya suddenly put the drink bottle on the table. Meng Lu had been concentrating on looking into the distance and did not notice his action, so he was startled.

"What's wrong?"

Dia stood up and said, "I suddenly have my own ideal."

"Oh? Tell me about it."

"Meng Shuo, you have your own business, and it has become so popular in just a few months. I should also play my role and be a useful person. I can't be idle all day. I just met the new mayor and I have an idea. I will take the exam for the position announced by the city. If the position is small, I will do small things. If the position is large, I will do big things."

Meng Lu was very happy with his idea and agreed with it.

The next day, Diya began to prepare for the exam seriously. The two met seldom. Meng Lu thought that they had seen enough delicious food and beautiful scenery, and it was time to leave.

But what she didn't expect was that she would have an intersection with Adrian.
