Secretary Chen's expression suddenly lit up.

He wondered if there was something wrong with his ears.

"Do you drive for Mayor Su?"

He asked again, somewhat uncertain.

"Yes."

Wang Dahai nodded, assuring him that he wasn't speaking carelessly.

Secretary Chen stared at him for several seconds, wanting to ask how he managed that.

But after all, as the District Committee Secretary, it wasn't quite proper to question Wang Dahai, a young man.

He coughed lightly and said, "What did you say you were here for?"

Wang Dahai said, "Secretary Chen, would you like to be Deputy Mayor? If so, I can mention it to Mayor Su."

Secretary Chen's heart skipped a beat, unable to contain his excitement, he asked, "Can you really do that?"

Wang Dahai replied, "Secretary Chen has helped me before, I am a person who repays kindness."

"She said the standing committee meeting will start soon, I guess, the candidate for Deputy Mayor will be mentioned during the meeting."

"Of course, all I can do is mention it to Mayor Su."

"After all, I'm just a driver, I can't sway Mayor Su's opinion."

Wang Dahai spoke sincerely, making no promises.

As he said, he was just a driver, what promises could he make?

Even if he made promises, someone would have to believe him for it to matter.

Would Secretary Chen, such a shrewd person, really believe a driver's words?

That would be ridiculous.

Yet, despite this, Secretary Chen still felt a pleasant surprise and excitement.

"Wang, then I'll trouble you with this."

"It's my duty."

Wang Dahai picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then stood up, saying, "I won't disturb Secretary Chen's work anymore, I'm heading back."

"Okay."

Secretary Chen stood up to see him out.

After he left, Secretary Chen immediately grabbed his phone and dialed: "Check who Mayor Su's driver is."

A few minutes later, the call returned.

"It's someone named Wang Dahai."

Just as he thought!

He really became Mayor Su's driver.

But how had he managed that?

This question troubled Secretary Chen.

He suddenly remembered, last time he offered Wang Dahai a job, but he had turned it down.

At that time, he thought Wang Dahai wasn't interested.

Now it seems, he indeed wasn't interested.

Because he had better options and places to go.

Strange, too strange!

How on earth did this young man get connected with Mayor Su?

He was baffled.

He felt he knew Wang Dahai.

He had even investigated his background.

Just an utterly ordinary person.

But the more ordinary he was, the stranger Secretary Chen found it.

He shook his head and decided not to ponder over it.

Wang Dahai being able to drive for Mayor Su was also a good thing for him.

…

Wang Dahai returned to the municipal government.

After lunch, he stayed outside.

Suddenly, a phone call came, from another district's District Committee Secretary, who wanted to visit Su Nanzhi.

Wang Dahai hung up, knocked on the door, and entered the office.

Just as he was about to report, he saw Su Nanzhi resting with her head on the desk.

The knocking awakened Su Nanzhi, who looked up showing a somewhat tired face.

"What is it?"

She rearranged her hair and asked casually.

Wang Dahai said, "Secretary Zhao from Jianning District wants to visit in the afternoon."

"Alright, I understand."

Wang Dahai nodded and silently exited the room.

After gently closing the office door, he immediately sprinted downstairs and bought a folding recliner and a blanket from a nearby supermarket.

Then, holding the recliner and blanket, he rushed back.

The round trip took less than twenty minutes.

He gently knocked on the door again.

Su Nanzhi's tired face showed some dissatisfaction.

She felt that Wang Dahai wasn't quite suitable for secretary work.

What time is it now?

It was just after lunch, which was the time for a nap, yet he kept disturbing her.

As a secretary, the most important thing is to observe and understand.

But this Wang Dahai seemed a bit poor at reading situations and managing timing.

She was about to speak when she saw Wang Dahai carrying something over.

After he placed the items on the floor, she realized they were a recliner and a blanket.

"Mayor, the weather has gotten a bit chilly, it's easy to catch a cold lying on the office desk."

"You, as the mayor, handle all the work of the city government, and you absolutely must not fall ill."

Wang Dahai said these words with a smile, then left.

After he left, Su Nanzhi showed a hint of surprise on her face.

She admitted she might have misjudged him.

This young man had the courage to self-recommend, and it now seems, he has more than just courage.

His skills in observing and understanding are also very proficient.

Moreover, he bought a recliner for her without directly stating it, instead, he tactfully discussed her health, making it comfortable and appropriate.

Everything he did seemed reasonable and flawless.

She stood up, walked over to the recliner, and sat down.

The quality of the recliner was quite good.

Most importantly, lying down was indeed much more comfortable than leaning over the desk.

She covered herself with the blanket, closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep.

Wang Dahai sat by the door, focusing on the telephone.

Although a door separated the office, Wang Dahai tried to make as little noise as possible to avoid disturbing the resting Mayor Su.

Letting her have a peaceful nap to maintain her energy.

During this time, the phone rang several times, and he answered it immediately.

He then recorded the people who wanted to visit in the afternoon and the day after tomorrow.

After the nap period, he walked into the office.

Su Nanzhi had just sat up from the recliner.

He went over, folded the recliner, and placed it in the corner.

Then he poured out the old tea and replaced it with a new cup.

Finally, he handed over a list: "Secretary, these are the calls from this afternoon."

Su Nanzhi glanced at it.

Wang Dahai's handwriting was quite good, pleasing to the eye.

The call log not only recorded the full name and specific positions of the callers but even the exact time they called.

This allowed her to not exert much effort thinking, only needing to consider who needed to be seen and who didn't.

She marked a few names, Wang Dahai took the list, and silently exited the office.

After a few days of interaction, Su Nanzhi's impression of Wang Dahai was quite good.

This young man handled things very well.

Most importantly, he knew how to maintain a certain distance and sense of space with her.

Not too close, but also not making her feel he was unreliable.

Such ability is innate, you either have it or you don't, and it's hard to develop later on.

Wang Dahai's ability seemed almost naturally suited for navigating bureaucracies.

In the afternoon, after work.

Wang Dahai drove her home.

When they reached the government compound, Su Nanzhi suddenly said, "Contact Zhou Qian tomorrow, tell him to report to the city government."

Wang Dahai was surprised for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, Mayor."

The car stopped, Wang Dahai stood by the door, watching Su Nanzhi enter the house.

Then, he turned, got into the car, and dialed Zhou Qian's number.
