Xu Shi finally understood what she meant. Good grief, I thought you had really let it go, but it turns out you were just waiting for this, to retaliate, huh?
"Don't forget, whether I was the governor or the director, before that, I was a woman."
Tang Shuang tightened her grip slightly, seemingly unintentionally. "Being petty is a woman's prerogative, you know. So, tell me, are you in or not?"
"...Fine, fine, I'm scared of you."
Xu Shi gasped, damn, that's some serious strength...
The disadvantage of not being a combatant is now becoming apparent; they can't defeat her...
"Hmph, that's more like it."
Hearing him say that, Tang Shuang finally let go of his hand with satisfaction.
You little brat, I finally got my revenge, didn't I?
Of course, she also knew that if Xu Shi really insisted on doing something that was dispensable, there was nothing she could do to him... You can't expect Yu Xingchuan to continue fulfilling his supervisory duties, can you? It was already a sign of her modesty that she didn't actively try to get close to Xu Shi.
So, this was just an excuse. Her main purpose was to put aside other things and spend some time with Xu Shi without a care in the world.
That's why she's conflicted. She can't fully agree with Xu Shi's values, but she also can't completely cut ties with him and just treat him as a business partner.
Under such circumstances, this was the only solution she could come up with.
But he actually agreed! It went much more smoothly than I expected... Should I say that he was being considerate of my feelings? Or, to go further, does he have similar feelings for me?
Anyway, Governor Tang, or rather, Director Tang who has temporarily reverted to his former self, is unlikely to reveal his true feelings at this critical juncture. Firstly, she herself is in a state of confusion regarding this matter, and secondly, if she were to do so, wouldn't all her previous words have been for nothing?
Hmm, shall we take this opportunity to test the waters?
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Xu Shi waved his hand and said that it was impossible for him to be completely innocent and without any guilt towards Tang Shuang. Besides, he was the one who forced her into this situation, so it wasn't unreasonable for her to have a few small requests. Otherwise, this matter would never end...
"Simple."
Tang Shuang smugly dragged him back to her office and threw him his old uniform from the inspection bureau.
"Report to the Inspection Bureau first thing tomorrow morning, wearing this uniform!"
Who told you to only wear it for a short while last time? Our stock is already depleted...
