There are no fools working in the Municipal Party Committee; they are all astute people.

Before confirming the other party's identity, it's not good to reveal any other emotions.

Although Wang Dahai lacks experience in such interactions, he is no longer the naive and fresh graduate he once was.

He could somewhat sense the meaning of the other party.

He smiled and said, "Director Song called to ask me over, but I'm not clear about the matter."

Before things are settled, one must avoid exposing themselves.

Seeing that he couldn't get anything out, the man smiled, saying nothing more.

Upon arriving at the office: "This is Director Song's office."

"Alright, thank you."

Wang Dahai knocked on the door, and a woman's voice from inside said, "Please come in."

Wang Dahai pushed open the door and entered the office.

He was somewhat surprised when he saw Director Song.

This woman, around twenty-eight or twenty-nine, tied her hair in a neat ponytail, had a petite oval face with big eyes, a straight nose, and moderately thick lips, looking crisp and refreshing.

Unexpectedly, there was such a beautiful woman in the city government.

He concealed his amazement quite well and approached her, saying, "Hello, Director Song, I am Wang Dahai."

"Mr. Wang, hello, please have a seat."

Song Ying did not show much emotion, revealing a professional smile.

After he sat down, she handed over a contract: "Take a look."

Wang Dahai took it and saw a monthly salary of 2,800, with bonuses and benefits for the holidays.

Though it was a contract position, the treatment could be considered very good.

Wang Dahai nodded and asked, "I just need to sign my name, right?"

"Yes, if you're sure about joining, give me your ID card."

"Okay."

Wang Dahai took out his ID card, then signed his name.

Afterward, Song Ying called someone in to handle Wang Dahai's induction procedures.

Song Ying, meanwhile, explained some things to note for his new job.

"This is Mayor Su's car key."

"Usually when you drive Mayor Su, pay attention to your conduct."

"Mayor Su starts work quite early, and the finishing time is not fixed."

"You may also not have days off over the weekend."

"Currently, you're the only driver, so work will be tight schedule-wise."

"Once we find other drivers, you will have plenty of rest time."

Wang Dahai listened quietly, without interrupting.

"Let's go, I'll take you to get familiar with the various departments."

"Also to meet Mayor Su."

"Okay."

They left the office.

The man who had brought Wang Dahai in was surprised to see Song Ying personally accompany him, wondering who this young man could be.

No sooner had they left than the men handling the induction returned, whispering, "He's Mayor Su's driver."

"Holy shit, what's the deal with this guy? He can drive Mayor Su's car!"

"He must be one of Mayor Su's people, since he's a contract worker, not on the administrative staff."

"A contract worker?"

"Tsks, even as a contract worker, it's impressive. Probably won't take long before he becomes an admin staff member."

"Envy him."

"Why envy? Mayor Su just arrived; of course, he'd want his own people. Let's not even dream of it."

"Say, the selection for Mayor Su's secretary hasn't been finalized, right? Maybe we have a chance."

"You're dreaming."

"A driver is recruited from outside, you think they'd consider us for the secretary?"

"There's nobody else to consider."

"Well, that's not for sure."

…

Song Ying took Wang Dahai to familiarize himself with the various departments.

"This is the General Affairs Department, this is the Personnel Department…"

"Over there is the office of the Secretary-General of the City Government Office."

"That is the office of the Executive Deputy Mayor."

"This is Mayor Su's office."

Song Ying approached, knocked on the door, to which Su Nanzhi's voice responded, "Please come in."

Song Ying pushed open the door and said, "Mayor Su, Wang Dahai has completed the induction process, and I've brought him to get to know the place."

"Alright, let him in, you go ahead with your work, Director Song."

"Okay." Song Ying turned and left.

Wang Dahai walked in and casually shut the door behind him.

The office was quite large, the decor rather old-fashioned.

There was a desk, a few potted plants by the window, as well as a tea table and several chairs.

Wang Dahai quickly scanned the room, then walked forward and took a seat.

"Mayor Su," he greeted with a smile.

Su Nanzhi said, "You'll start work tomorrow, any problems?"

"No problems."

"Good, then work for a period of time first. If you can adapt, then continue."

"Okay."

Wang Dahai understood her meaning.

It's not about whether he can adapt to the job.

It's Mayor Su's assessment of him.

To see if he can adapt to being the mayor's driver.

After all, as Song Ying had pointed out, driving is not just about skills.

It also requires being observant.

Speak when it's time to speak, keep silent when it's not the time to speak.

"You may go now."

"Okay."

Wang Dahai immediately departed without another word.

As he left the office, he was originally going to look for Song Ying to ask which car was Mayor Su's.

After thinking about it, he had seen the car Mayor Su used.

And he had the car keys.

Thus, he went straight downstairs to the parking lot, walking while pressing the car key.

Soon, he heard a beeping sound.

He walked over to see a black Audi A6 sedan, a standard official vehicle.

He checked, and the license plate read 0002, signifying Lingjiang No. 2.

In the entire Lingjiang, the only person ranking higher than Mayor Su resided in the city committee building—the city committee Secretary who mainly dealt with personnel and provided guiding thoughts.

The city government was the real place where things got done.

So, when it comes to power, it's not clear who holds more between the two.

Wang Dahai got into the car, checked the fuel level, and did a simple vehicle inspection.

Then, he departed directly.

Work only starts tomorrow, so he still had today.

It was a good opportunity to prepare some things for himself.

He called Wu Qiangwei, "I'm going to buy some things, see you in the evening."

"What are you buying?"

"Buying clothes." Wang Dahai said, "I've just completed the induction, there's quite a bit to prepare."

"I'll come with you."

Come with me?

"Sure."

Wang Dahai arrived at the company where Wu Qiangwei was already waiting downstairs.

After getting into the car, Wu Qiangwei named a shopping mall.

The two went to the mall, and walking together, Wu Qiangwei was like a mature mother accompanying a university student.

Their outfits were drastically different, not looking like they were on the same level.

One mature and dignified, the other, though handsome and tall, dressed like a college student.

They simply did not match at all.

Walking into a brand store that Wang Dahai didn't recognize, Wu Qiangwei, full of presence, said, "Put together a suit for him."

Then said, "Don't pick anything too expensive, within three thousand."

Immediately to Wang Dahai, she said, "With your current status, you can't buy suits that are too expensive, or it could overshadow the leader's presence. It's different inside the system compared to the business world; in the system, the most important thing is to keep a low profile."
