After finishing her meal, Su Yu glanced at the clock on the wall of the state-run restaurant. It was almost one o'clock. She quickly stood up. "Secretary Song, I have to go to work. Are you going back to your office too? What should I do? I have so much to say. Secretary Song, I really wanted to report to you on my work. I have so many ideas I wanted to share."
Secretary Song stood up calmly. "Then let's talk about it another time."
Su Yu agreed, "Okay, next time I'll bring the plan I made for Secretary Song to see. It took me a long time to make."
Secretary Song felt relieved upon hearing this. "Alright, then bring it next time." Then she said seriously, "Comrade Su, can you guarantee you can finish speaking in one go next time?"
"Sure, as long as the leader wants to hear it and supports our work, I will definitely tell you everything I know."
Secretary Song chuckled upon hearing this. This woman wouldn't give up until she got some information out of him.
"Comrade Su, if you want the leadership's support, you must do things well."
Su Yu smiled and said, "Then I need to know what the leader's standard of 'good' is. Secretary Song, don't worry, I promise to think according to the leader's wishes."
Secretary Song's lips twitched, then he glanced at the empty fish on the table. "I didn't taste anything in this fish today. Let's have another one tomorrow." He'd only heard half the story; how was he supposed to report it to his superior?
Su Yu smiled with delight, "Secretary Song, shall we continue the report tomorrow?"
"...Yes." Secretary Song walked straight outside. "Let's go back to work."
Upon arriving at the restaurant entrance, Secretary Song casually invited, "Would you like me to take you home?"
"I can't accept this. I'll take the car myself. Secretary Song, you still have to report to Mayor Qiu. Your work is much more important than mine." Su Yu flattered him in a subtle way.
She's also good at reading people's expressions. If she wants to befriend this person in the future, she can't rely on her intelligence to take advantage of him.
Secretary Song saw that Su Yu had refused, so he got on his bicycle and left. He needed to hurry back to the municipal government to calm down and sort out his thoughts for the day.
It seems that my interactions with Secretary Su can't be the same as before; I need to be more careful.
Su Yu looked at his retreating figure and curled her lips into a smirk.
Although Secretary Song hadn't made any explicit statements, she could still discern Secretary Song's attitude. And Secretary Song's attitude more or less represented Mayor Qiu's attitude.
The reason Secretary Song hasn't made a statement yet is probably because there's still some debate within the municipal party committee. We just don't know the specifics.
Well, to become the deputy mayor's secretary, he must have some skills. And he's quite good at keeping his mouth shut.
Thinking that she still needed to eat tomorrow, she couldn't let it go to waste. She quickly turned around and ran into the restaurant, finding the waiter at the window. "Comrade, Secretary Song and I are coming again tomorrow, the usual. By the way, I haven't seen Secretary Zhu here today. Secretary Song just asked about her." Secretary Zhu should treat everyone to dinner tomorrow.
The waiter nodded blankly.
After Su Yu left, the waiter told the head chef to reserve some food for her. Then, remembering something, he ran upstairs to his office to make a phone call.
When Su Yu returned to the textile factory, work had already started. Chairman Sun was already waiting in his office. When he saw Su Yu return, he quickly asked, "Su, how was lunch with Secretary Song?"
Su Yu put down her backpack, then picked up the thermos and poured herself some tea. "I ordered all of Secretary Song's favorite dishes. I treated him very well."
"How's it going with the thing I asked you to do?"
Su Yu smiled and said, "Chairman Sun, Secretary Song is a cautious person, but he has already hinted to me that many leaders support us. However, there are still some who are in a wait-and-see state. I think as long as everything goes smoothly in the later stages of housing allocation and the workers are satisfied, our employee housing project will really be promoted in the city. We are still in the provincial capital, so it might even be promoted in the province."
She felt quite melancholy about this. If only she could open a factory, she would definitely open a cement factory and a brick factory now, and she could definitely make a lot of money in the future.
However, nowadays cement is controlled by the work unit, and you need a permit from above to use it.
Chairman Sun tapped the table with slight excitement. If this could really be promoted throughout the province, his name, Sun Shuchun, would become widely known. With this achievement, he could at least be promoted to a higher position.
"Su, you must maintain your relationship with Secretary Song. You have a heavy responsibility for our textile factory and our trade union."
"Chairman Sun, don't worry, Secretary Song insisted on inviting me to dinner tomorrow. We're going out for a meal tomorrow."
Su Yu sipped her tea. Spending all her time eating and drinking was actually quite nice. As long as she wasn't paying.
Hearing Su Yu's words, Chairman Sun was indeed pleased. "Good, Su, you handled this matter very well."
Then he looked at Su Yu and said, "Su, you and Secretary Song seem to get along quite well... Are you two dating?" This guy and girl had dinner together and then went on a date. What else could it be but dating?
"Pfft—" Su Yu immediately spat out a mouthful of tea. "Chairman Sun, we have a purely comradely relationship, please don't. I'm wholeheartedly dedicated to my work and have absolutely no selfish motives. Secretary Song is a person of noble character."
She wouldn't date someone like Secretary Song. She'd choose someone gentle, understanding, and innocently charming. Playing mind games with a man was no fun.
Chairman Sun coughed and smiled, saying, "I'm overthinking it... but it's still worth a try."
