"Thank you so much, sister-in-law," Su Yu said gratefully. The fact that Director Zhou's wife treated her this way showed she considered her one of her own. It was worth it for her past actions.
Once in the courtyard, Su Yu showered Grandma Zhou with compliments on her unfinished new clothes, making Grandma Zhou beam with joy.
"I refused to do it, but they insisted on doing it for me. They insisted on being filial, and I had no choice."
Director Zhou's wife: "..." I don't know who was staring at the fabric and kept saying that they never wore a floral dress when they were young.
Upstairs in Vice Mayor Xu's home, Vice Mayor Xu's wife was standing by the window looking down. When she saw them chatting and laughing, she turned around with a stern face.
Deceiving superiors and flattering subordinates.
I went to the bookstore with Secretary Song and bought some study materials. Then we took a walk under the shade of the trees in the park.
Taking the opportunity, Su Yu told Secretary Song about Director Zhou's wife's situation, warning him to be careful.
The mayor and deputy mayor are very influential members of the Standing Committee. If they really join forces, Secretary Qiu could be sidelined.
Secretary Song said, "He was only able to get this job because of his father-in-law's influence. There's nothing to worry about with that kind of person."
Who is his father-in-law?
"From the provincial level. But don't worry. Everyone knows a few people. It's just that nobody wants to pull strings. Otherwise, things would be in complete chaos!"
Su Yu nodded; she understood. For example, when she was a CEO, she had ties to the government. But for ordinary matters, she felt she wouldn't casually use connections. Often, relationships are intricately intertwined; one move can have far-reaching consequences. No one knows what the other party's bottom line is.
“I think this could be considered an opportunity,” Su Yu suddenly said.
Secretary Song raised an eyebrow. "What opportunity?"
"This is an opportunity for Secretary Qiu and Mayor Chen to work together. There are no permanent friends or permanent enemies. But what if they have a common enemy? A harmonious relationship between Secretary Qiu and Mayor Chen would be the best outcome for Jiangdong City."
Secretary Song stroked his chin and thought about it, then realized it might not be impossible.
“Li Mei and I have a good relationship. I can ask her for help when necessary,” Su Yu said.
Secretary Song smiled and took her hand. "Comrade Su, you're really something. You didn't plan this all along, did you?"
"Of course." Even if she goes back to school, she wants to make sure she doesn't completely leave her job. When she returns, she wants to be able to climb the ranks as quickly as possible.
Secretary Song bowed respectfully, saying, "Please guide me in the future."
Su Yu smiled and tugged at his ear, "Just be obedient."
Secretary Song smiled helplessly, took out a box, and handed it to her.
Su Yu glanced at it; it was a fountain pen.
"What are you doing?"
"This is a gift to celebrate your starting university," Secretary Song said, blushing. "I had someone bring it back from Shanghai for me. It's just before your classes officially begin."
Su Yu smiled and rubbed the pen, discovering that it had words engraved on it. There weren't the tools to do this right now, so it was clearly hand-engraved and then colored.
Song Su.
Wow, they even know about couples getting their names engraved on their names now.
When Secretary Song saw that she had discovered the writing, she looked to the side somewhat awkwardly, but was secretly overjoyed.
But Su Yu frowned, "Why not Su Song?"
"..."
Su Yu put the things into her schoolbag. "Never mind, I'll carve a Su-Song for you next time, then we'll be even."
Secretary Song silently made a note of it, intending to put Comrade Su first in the future.
After strolling around for a while, seeing that it was getting late, Secretary Song prepared to take Su Yu to school. Classes officially start tomorrow, so she had to return to school today.
Su Yu pulled him into the woods, saying, "I haven't settled accounts with you yet. You bullied me here last time. I just remembered."
He pulled Secretary Song's head down, opened his mouth and took a deep breath on his lips, then bit him before letting go.
We won't be able to see each other for another week, so we should at least try it out.
Having finally tasted the flavor, Su Yu was satisfied and pulled Secretary Song out, scolding her as they walked, "You're not allowed to bully me in the future, or I'll punish you severely."
Secretary Song touched his mouth, looking expectant. "How about you punish me again? Anything is fine with me, I won't budge."
"Go to hell!" Su Yu tapped his arm.
...
When I got back to the dorm, everyone was there, including Xu Lili and Li Ping. No, Li Ping hadn't gone home at all.
Although Su Yu had no connection with her, she still paid close attention to what was happening in the dormitory.
After she left, Li Ping lay down on the table to read, without packing her things. When she returned, Li Ping also didn't pack her things.
Unlike the others who had gone back and were rummaging through their belongings, Xu Lili had even made a mess of the bed.
However, Su Yu didn't pay much attention to it. She glanced at it casually and then started making the bed.
After working for a while, Su Yu felt her back and waist ache. She sighed inwardly. Everything was good in this day and age, except for the inability to hire help. What was she, someone so terrible at housework, supposed to do?
She'd rather use her brain than lift a finger.
No, no, I need to become a youth league cadre as soon as possible and go home early.
