"Director Si, what's the matter?"

Ever since transferring Si Qingqing to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau as director, Song Guanchao had scarcely contacted her.

If not for Chu Xiao'e's connections, Si Qingqing would never have climbed to the director's position in this lifetime.

The only impression Song Guanchao had of her was just one word: "stupid"!

"Song... District Chief Song, is there anyone around you? Is it convenient to talk now?"

The overly formal address made Si Qingqing feel a bit awkward.

"It's convenient, go ahead."

"Mayor Jiang looked for me today."

Song Guanchao's heart stirred: "What did he want with you?"

"He wanted to buy me over."

Jiang Yuan met with Si Qingqing today, and although his words were somewhat vague and general, Si Qingqing wasn't a fool; she could tell he was trying to win her over.

Jiang Yuan's intention was simple: as long as Si Qingqing behaved, there would be future opportunities to earn money, and he'd bring her along.

Si Qingqing had no doubts about Jiang Yuan's promise.

She had once been the deputy secretary-general of the city government. Although she was later demoted to the administrative section director, she knew firsthand how powerful Jiang Yuan was in Lingjiang.

She didn't express her stance at the spot, and Jiang Yuan didn't force her.

After contemplating the whole afternoon, she ultimately decided to let Song Guanchao know.

She had already made a mistake once before, but Song Guanchao bore no grudge, helping her transfer from the Judicial Bureau to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.

If she made a mistake again this time, she had no doubt that Song Guanchao would give up on her completely.

As for Jiang Yuan's promise, to be honest, she was a bit afraid to accept it.

After all, she hadn't interacted with Jiang Yuan for long and didn't know him well enough.

Conversely, she knew and trusted Song Guanchao well enough.

"I understand. If Jiang Yuan meets you again, inform me promptly."

"Hmm, alright."

After hanging up the phone, Song Guanchao's gaze turned slightly cold.

Jiang Yuan was still unwilling to give up.

He couldn't snatch the mayor's position, so he was trying another method, attempting to control these already divided departments.

But he underestimated Si Qingqing's bottom line and overestimated his influence.

However, this incident also indirectly reflects that Jiang Yuan is a very unstable bomb.

Originally thought that after refusing Secretary Tian's request last time, he would see reason and be more honest.

But now it seems, I was too optimistic.

As the former actual decision-maker of the Lingjiang City Government, how could he possibly be willing to accept reality after a fall from grace?

"Giving face but not appreciating it."

Song Guanchao snorted coldly.

At six in the evening, the high-speed train arrived, and Song Guanchao took a taxi to the city center.

After getting off, he found a place to eat a bit, then returned home.

Not having returned for a long time, there was a layer of dust at home.

This rented apartment probably won't be lived in for long.

If nothing unexpected happens, after the party school training ends, he will likely be transferred to the Provincial City.

After taking a shower, just as he was about to rest, he suddenly received a call from Lin Min.

When he glanced at the time, it was already past eight.

He thought Lin Min wanted to report work, but upon opening her mouth, Song Guanchao was fully alert.

"Mayor Jiang invited me for dinner tonight."

"What did he want with you?"

"He..." Lin Min seemed at a loss for words, finding it hard to speak.

Song Guanchao roughly guessed that Jiang Yuan's purpose in meeting her was likely the same as meeting Si Qingqing at noon.

"Let's talk in person."

Lin Min was taken aback: "You're in Lingjiang?"

"Hmm, I just came back tonight."

Song Guanchao asked, "Where are you now? I'll come to you."

"I'm at home."

"Then I'll go to your building."

Half an hour later, he arrived at an upscale community and met Lin Min outside.

She seemed to have just taken a shower, coming out in just home apparel.

Usually, it's hard to notice in work clothes, but in her own clothes, her aura of a mature woman was overwhelming.

A home outfit, gentle in appearance, naturally drawing one closer to savor her charm.

"District Chief Song, have you eaten?"

"Yes, I have."

Song Guanchao replied, "I'm sorry to have you come out to meet me in the evening."

"It's okay."

Lin Min smiled slightly, saying, "Let's take a walk in the community."

"Sure."

As they walked through the community, chatting, hearing Lin Min's account, Song Guanchao thought, as expected, Jiang Yuan was indeed trying to win her over.

Compared to Si Qingqing, Lin Min was much more seasoned and handled things more smoothly.

After weighing the pros and cons post dinner, she eventually decided to side with Song Guanchao.

Curious, Song Guanchao said, "I'm surprised Director Lin chose me."

Lin Min tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, her profile exceptionally attractive under the street lamp.

Glancing at him, she replied smilingly, "I've always been yours."

At first glance, nothing special about those words, but in this setting, it felt slightly ambiguous.

Song Guanchao chuckled, choosing not to respond.

Lin Min was a smart person, with a strong ability to gauge the situation, and wasn't swayed by external temptations.

Such a person was worth trusting and nurturing.

Song Guanchao didn't make any promises, nor did he need to.

Many things, if stated too clearly, lose their charm.

When they reached the building entrance, Lin Min said, "Want to come up for a visit?"

Looking at the building in front of him, he thought that her husband and children were certainly home, then nodded.

After getting out of the elevator, Lin Min opened the apartment door.

Song Guanchao was surprised to find the lights weren't on.

This meant no one was home.

What was going on?

Upon entering, he deliberately checked the shoe rack.

No men's shoes on top.

This woman, could she be in the same divorced state as Chu Xiao'e?

"I don't usually drink tea, so I don't have any leaves at home."

Lin Min took a can of honey from the fridge, mixed it with warm water, and handed it to him.

Song Guanchao accepted it and asked, "Are you usually alone?"

Lin Min replied, "It's the weekend tomorrow, so I sent my daughter to my parents' place."

Saying "oh," Song Guanchao asked no further, but was almost certain she was indeed divorced.

He felt his role as district chief hadn't been thorough, not even knowing the family situation of the deputy district chief.

Drinking a sip of honey water, he suddenly noticed she was watching him.

They sat very close, with Lin Min leaning sideways on the sofa, her right arm against the sofa's backrest, one hand supporting her cheek.

Her eyes, mature and passionate, eyed him with a smile.

Being looked at like that made Song Guanchao a bit uneasy.

He finished the honey water in one go, intending to get up.

Lin Min, however, beat him to it, taking the glass and placing it on the coffee table.

Then, she gently leaned into his arms.

Her body smooth as a ripe peach, seemingly boneless, filled with affection.

"Be careful."

Song Guanchao supported her, saying, "I should go."

Lin Min extended a finger, lightly tapping his shoulder, and said, "I've always thought of you as a decisive man, not bothered by trivialities."

"Lin..."

"Shh!"

Lin Min's finger pressed against his lips, stopping him.

Her finger then traced down from his lips.

She adjusted her position, straddling his lap.

Guiding his right hand around her waist.

Taking his left hand and placing it over her chest.

After doing this, she wrapped her hands around his neck, her full hips starting to sway gently.

Each sway had her warm buttocks rubbing increasingly on the reacting Xiao Song.

The swaying grew more intense, and Xiao Song fully rose.

Lin Min reached one hand down, unzipped his fly, and pulled out Xiao Song.

She slowly raised herself, tugged down her soft sleep pants to her knees.

Then, guiding Xiao Song, amidst heavy breathing, bit her trembling lips, her hips slowly sinking to seat.
