Wang Dahai was puzzled; he didn't understand.

"Why would this woman suddenly ask such a question?"

It wasn't like her to ask something like that.

After all, there was no so-called affection between them.

But now, the question she asked was completely from the perspective of a girlfriend.

Wang Dahai didn't know how to choose for a moment.

After all, he had never even considered such questions.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhou Qian said, "I was just asking casually, don't take it too seriously."

"..."

Wang Dahai decided not to talk to this woman anymore.

Is it fun to tease oneself?

At this moment, a graceful figure walked towards them.

It was Director Song from the Secretary Division, Song Ying.

Wang Dahai stood up: "Director Song, are you looking for Mayor Su?"

Song Ying smiled and shook her head, looking at Zhou Qian: "Secretary Zhou, Mr. Wang, do you have time tonight?"

Zhou Qian was startled for a moment. Though she had only been at the municipal government for two days and was aware of various divisions, this was her first interaction with someone like Song Ying.

In terms of rank, she was just a low-level clerk.

And Song Ying from the Secretary Division was at the deputy director level.

She couldn't even see such high-level officials when she was working at the street office before.

But now, Director Song actually came over proactively.

Moreover, from her tone, it seemed she was inviting them for dinner.

Zhou Qian, who hadn't transitioned her identity for a short time, did not know how to respond.

Fortunately, Wang Dahai, with his abundant experience, said: "We're not sure yet."

"Director Song understands that we secretaries and drivers serve the leaders."

Song Ying nodded in understanding: "If you two have time later, I'll treat you to a casual dinner."

"Okay." Wang Dahai answered for Zhou Qian.

After Song Ying left, Wang Dahai said: "You're going to be very busy these next few days."

Zhou Qian asked, "You mean there will be many people inviting me to meals?"

Wang Dahai said, "On one hand, some people from the municipal government will use the name of inviting you to meals to establish a good relationship with you."

"On the other hand, it's from other bureaus and commissions."

"You just joined yesterday, not many people know your identity."

"But in a day or two at most, your name will be known throughout the whole bureaucratic circle."

"Then, you will get a lot of calls."

Zhou Qian frowned with a bit of a headache: "Do I have to attend these meal gatherings?"

Wang Dahai said with a smile: "Not necessarily."

"It depends."

"You have to learn to discern which invitations to accept and which ones to turn down."

Seeing her still in distress, Wang Dahai asked, "Do you need some advice from me?"

Zhou Qian nodded.

Wang Dahai smiled, then suddenly placed his hand on her thigh.

Zhou Qian gave him an annoyed glance, and Wang Dahai said: "I'm putting a lot of effort to make sure you do well as a secretary. A little indulgence of mine isn't too much to ask for, right?"

Zhou Qian bit her lip and did not utter a sound.

Wang Dahai got braver, touched her thigh, and said, "My advice is, regarding the meal invitations from the municipal government, you can be selective."

"For instance, you should attend a meal hosted by the Secretary Division, like one from Director Song."

"After all, she helped with your job transfer and placement."

"Even though it's her responsibility, sometimes you can't be too clear-cut about these things."

"Then there's, for example, the Secretaries-General and Deputy Secretaries-General of the Comprehensive Division and the Mayor's Office. If they ask you to a meal, try your best to attend."

"As for invitations from junior staff, you can reject them with an excuse."

Zhou Qian said, "Isn't this kind of preferential treatment somewhat inappropriate?"

Wang Dahai responded, "Now that you've entered the municipal government, you've stepped halfway into the bureaucratic scene. What's a bureaucratic scene? It's where a higher rank can crush you!"

"Your rank isn't high, but your status is."

"The title of Mayor's secretary inherently elevates your position."

"If you can stay with Mayor Su for a year and a half, then aside from Mayor Su, you'll be the second most important person in the municipal government."

"So, you must learn to cater to different individuals."

"Some might not understand this, but you must."

"And don't be afraid of offending people."

"Low-ranking staff, there's no harm in offending or not offending."

"Remember, never be too accommodating."

"The softer you are, the easier it is for others to manipulate you."

"The first lesson upon entering the bureaucratic circle is learning to reject people."

"As for other bureaus and commissions outside the municipal government, it also depends."

"Generally speaking, average clerks will not take the initiative to ask you out unless they lack self-awareness."

"As for the heads of bureaus and commissions, normally they wouldn't approach you as well."

"Of course, this can't be said for certain."

"They might happen to have business and need to talk to Mayor Su."

"In such cases, they may contact you and hope to leverage your position as a starting point."

"Normally, if this happens, there will certainly be gift-giving involved."

"I told you yesterday, since you're new, your foundation is weak, don't just accept gifts lightly. In terms of interests, you must resist temptation."

While saying this, Wang Dahai slipped his hand along the waist of her pants and grabbed her thigh.

Slowly, he inserted his hand between her thighs, the palm touching her underwear, playing with her garden.

Zhou Qian trembled under his touch, nervously looking towards the doorway.

From her position, she could see the corridor outside at a glance.

If anyone came, she could see them instantly and hear their footsteps.

Yet even so, she was still nervous.

Wang Dahai was too audacious.

However, she didn't feel repulsed in her heart.

On the contrary, she found it rather thrilling.

Since meeting Wang Dahai, she found that this aspect of her life seemed to have opened up a new world.

Wang Dahai moved aside her underwear and slid his finger inside.

"Ooh~"

She suddenly pursed her lips, her legs squeezed together, and said in a low voice, "Take it out."

Wang Dahai acted as if he didn't hear, continued to play, and then grabbed her hand, guiding it into his own pants.

Continuing to speak, he said, "In a couple of days, Mayor Su might go down for an inspection."

"It's your first time following Mayor Su on an inspection. Are you familiar with it?"

Inspection?

Zhou Qian shook her head: "What do I need to do?"

Wang Dahai made her grasp it, saying: "Move it."

Zhou Qian's face turned red, and though she glared at him angrily, she obediently moved her hand up and down.

Wang Dahai let out a sigh of relief, still fondling her: "There's not much to do for the inspection, but it's varied."

"First of all, you need to set the inspection schedule."

"Since Mayor Su is new here, she would probably want to visit the districts and counties first, to have a general understanding of the area and to get to know the district and county leaders."

"What you need to do is to arrange the vehicles and coordinate the timing with the district and county leaders."

"You have to learn to observe more, watch, memorize, and speak less."
