At this moment, Ji Ying took out her student ID and handed it over. “Hello, we have an appointment with the leader to talk about our proposals!”

The guard looked at their IDs seriously and crosschecked them before saying, “Go right ahead! You’ll want to head to the 18th floor. Secretary Yang will be there to receive you!”

“Alright, thank you!” Ji Ying and Shu Lanqing thanked him and quickly walked into the courtyard.

“The atmosphere here seems a little tense!”

“Yup! I’m really a little nervous! However, this is a government institution after all, so it’s only right for it to be heavily guarded!”

The two of them walked into the lobby, entered the elevator, and went straight to the 18th floor.

‘Ding! Ding!’

The elevator door opened, and Ji Ying and Shu Lanqing stepped out.

A young civil servant in a formal suit came over and asked with a smile, “May I ask who you are looking for?”

“Hello, we’re students from the architecture department of Yanzhou University. I’m Ji Ying and this is Shu Lanqing. We have an appointment with the higher-ups!”

“Oh? So, it was you guys! Secretary Yang has already informed us, please follow me!”

He walked down the corridor and arrived at the end.

The plate on the left of the door read “Mayor’s Office”, while the office of the mayor’s secretary was directly opposite of that.

“Shu Lanqing, go to the secretary’s office and meet Secretary Yang. Ji Ying, head into the mayor’s office opposite to meet the mayor!”

The two of them were slightly taken aback and somewhat confused.

Yet, before they could say anything, the man had already pushed open the door and entered the secretary’s office with Shu Lanqing.

When Ji Ying saw this, she snapped out of her stupor and went to knock on the door of the mayor’s office.

“Dong dong dong!”

“Please enter!” A deep and familiar voice came from inside the door, but she did not recognize it at first.

When Ji Ying pushed the door open and entered, she saw the person sitting behind the mahogany desk. She immediately exclaimed, “It’s actually you!”

At this moment, she finally remembered that Zhao Weili was the new mayor.

Previously, she had even posted a thread on the internet asking for help, asking what she should do if she slept with the mayor.

However, she still could not make the connection in her head that Zhao Weili was the new mayor. She felt that they were two different people, which was why she did not think of him.

At this moment, Zhao Weili was working with his head lowered. When he heard the door open, he looked up.

When he heard Ji Ying’s surprised cry, he said indifferently, “Why can’t it be me?”

When Ji Ying heard this, she was immediately speechless.

She did not expect that after hiding for so long, she still delivered herself to him in the end.

With such thoughts in her heart, she had already started to retreat, wanting to leave immediately.

“Bang!”

For some reason, the door suddenly slammed shut.

Zhao Weili’s expression was calm. He carefully sized up Ji Ying’s outfit and nodded. “Are you questioning my ability, or are you questioning the country’s decision in appointing me?”

She already knew that Zhao Weili was the most popular young man in Yanzhou City, the newly appointed mayor, and a potential rich son-in-law.

However, she did not understand why someone of his status would suddenly get engaged to someone like Jiang Ningxin. She did not see Zhao Weili’s family at the engagement party the other day, only his secretary.

Jiang Hong did not even mention anything, so there must be something else.

She wondered if the mother-daughter duo knew that Jiang Ningxin was engaged to the newly appointed mayor. If they did not, they would probably be filled with regret now. If he had not known that Jiang Ningxin was capable of such viciousness, his future would have been bleak!

Many thoughts flashed through Ji Ying’s mind, and she was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses. She now recognized Zhao Weili as the new mayor.

The layout of the office was simple yet sophisticated. Facing the door was a desk, on the left was a long bookshelf. On the right was a side door, which probably led to a lounge.

The decorations in the office were tasteful, but they were not luxurious. On the windowsill behind him, there were seven or eight pots of flowers and plants. It was unclear if they were left behind by the previous owner or Zhao Weili put them there himself.

However, no matter how she thought about it, she was certain that this was Zhao Weili’s office.

Ji Ying was dumbfounded. What should she do? She could not afford to offend the mayor.

Zhao Weili found Ji Ying’s constantly changing expressions and reactions very interesting, and a rare smile appeared on his face.

“Before the engagement, I was appointed as the mayor of Yanzhou City. If nothing unexpected happens, I will be working here for at least five years!”

“That long?”

Ji Ying exclaimed in shock, but immediately shut her mouth when she met Zhao Weili’s meaningful gaze.

She thought to herself, ‘This guy is staying for five years. Once I graduate, won’t I have to live and work in a territory under his jurisdiction? No, wherever this guy is, it’s a place of trouble. I might have to leave after graduation.’
