After breaking up with my boyfriend, I made a fortune and rose rapidly in my career.

"Sorry to keep you waiting!"

Half an hour later, Xiao Yuhan, wearing tight jeans and a long trench coat, walked into the private room.

Clearly, she didn't want to be too conspicuous, so she changed her outfit before coming to the appointment.

Chen Pingfang quickly stood up: "Mayor Xiao, I just arrived too. Shall we order first?"

"Sure, order whatever you like!" Xiao Yuhan took off her coat and hung it in the corner.

"I'm a local from Yunzhou, and I can eat most of these things, but I don't know if they suit Mayor Xiao's taste. Why don't you order some, Mayor Xiao?" Chen Pingfang declined.

"Alright, pick out some Yunzhou specialties for me. I haven't had a proper chance to try the local specialties since I took office!" Xiao Yuhan said with a smile.

Chen Ping didn't stand on ceremony any longer and quickly ordered the dishes: "Mayor Xiao, our Yunzhou cuisine emphasizes freshness and aroma. It tastes even better with wine. Would you like some?"

"Okay, let's have some then!" Xiao Yuhan nodded in agreement.

Chen Ping ordered two more bottles of baijiu (Chinese liquor) and then called the waiter to serve the dishes.

Perhaps knowing that the people in the private room were extraordinary, the dishes were served very quickly, and everything was ready in no time.

Chen Ping put down the hot bowl, poured wine, and raised the first glass: "Mayor Xiao, this is my first toast to you! It's an honor to dine with you!"

Seeing him finish his drink in one gulp, Xiao Yuhan raised an eyebrow: "Your alcohol tolerance is pretty good!"

"I'd also like to raise a glass to you to thank you for your timely reminder, which prevented me from making a mistake!"

"Mayor Xiao, you're too kind. It's my duty to serve you! Mayor Xiao, please don't drink too much on an empty stomach. Have some food to fill your stomach first!" Chen Ping casually picked up a few pieces of food for her.

Xiao Yuhan was quite satisfied, but at the same time felt strange.

This seemingly naive young man behaved like a seasoned veteran at the dinner table, displaying impeccable manners.

If she hadn't specifically checked Chen Pingfang's background information before coming, and learned that he came from an ordinary poor family, she would have really thought he was some kind of son of a high-ranking official.

"Can you tell me how you know someone is trying to frame me?"

"Well... I just overheard it by chance!" Chen Ping looked embarrassed. He couldn't very well say it was because he was a reincarnated person, could he? "Mayor Xiao, I'll punish myself with three drinks, so please don't dwell on this! Anyway, I didn't mean to harm you!"

"Alright, then I won't ask anymore! Three cups are too much, one cup is enough!" Xiao Yuhan turned around and took out a bank card from her bag. "There's 100,000 in there, as a token of my gratitude. I also hope this matter won't be spread!"

"Mayor Xiao, I really only did a small favor and didn't expect any reward! Besides, giving money would change the nature of the matter and might complicate things further!" Chen Pingfang picked up the bank card and respectfully handed it back.

Xiao Yuhan looked at him with a half-smile: "You don't want money, so you want power?"

"If you have any thoughts, feel free to share them!"

"Within my authority, I will help if I can!"

Chen Ping's heart skipped a few beats.

To be personally promoted by the vice mayor is an opportunity that many people dream of.

If it were in his past life, he might have impulsively brought it up.

"Mayor Hsiao, as you probably know, I wouldn't have gotten a chance to be hired by the city government this time if four people hadn't already left! I'm already very satisfied with being accepted! Besides, I'm just a newcomer, and I'm only officially reporting for duty tomorrow. My only thought is to work hard and serve the Party and the people!"

Xiao Yuhan's lips unconsciously curled up slightly.

Clearly, this answer satisfied her.

Not greedy or impatient, and knows when to advance and retreat.

"Not too stupid!" Xiao Yuhan took the bank card back, then waved her hand. "There are no outsiders here, so stop calling me Mayor Xiao! In private, you can call me Sister Xiao or Sister Yuhan! Come sit closer, I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with you!"

Chen Ping quickly moved to a different spot: "Sister Yuhan, you go ahead!"

Xiao Yuhan rolled her eyes reproachfully: "How can I say anything from this far away? It makes me sound like a tigress ready to devour you! Come sit here!"

She patted the chair next to her.

Chen Ping had no choice but to sit down.

As he drew closer, a faint scent of alcohol mixed with his body fragrance wafted into his nostrils, making his throat involuntarily feel hot.

The white long shirt and skinny jeans underneath accentuated her toned figure.

Compared to her appearance in work clothes, Xiao Yuhan looked less serious and capable, but more charming, and even her tone of voice was much softer.

"Ping Fang, I've only been working in Yunzhou City for a short time, and I don't have many connections or a solid foundation. I haven't even finalized my secretary yet. Are you interested in working for me?" Xiao Yuhan turned slightly to the side, closing the distance between them again.

The neckline also slipped down slightly.

Add to that those last few provocative words, and it's hard not to have wild thoughts.

Chen Ping secretly swallowed: "Sister Yuhan, I'll do it!"

"However, I must warn you beforehand that I am in charge of investment promotion and economic work in Yunzhou City, which will inevitably affect the original economic structure and groups. Therefore, many people are dissatisfied with me and I am under a lot of work pressure! When that happens, you, as my secretary, cannot be a deserter!" Xiao Yuhan reminded him.

Chen Ping immediately straightened up and said, "Sister Yuhan, I'm not afraid of hardship, difficulty, or danger!"

"Thank you, Sister Yuhan, for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely work hard!"

"We are not only superiors and subordinates, but also comrades-in-arms. I hope we can cooperate happily!" Xiao Yuhan raised his wine glass.

"It's a pleasure to cooperate!" Chen Ping touched the glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"Alright, I'm busy with work, so I can't drink too much. That's all for today, see you tomorrow!" Xiao Yuhan smiled, got up and put on her coat.

Whether it was from drinking too much or from jumping too fast, she stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Sister Yuhan, be careful!" Chen Ping reacted quickly and reached out to help her.

"Eek..." Xiao Yuhan let out a soft moan, her whole body trembling. Her already slightly flushed face instantly turned crimson. "You..."

"Sister Yuhan, I..." Chen Pingfang felt the softness in her palm, her heart pounding with fear, and tears welled up in her eyes. "I didn't mean to!"

"Get it away now!" Xiao Yuhan was filled with shame and indignation. She glared at him fiercely and put on her trench coat.

"Take care, Sister Yuhan!" Chen Pingfang greeted her awkwardly.

"I just asked you to make a request. If you actually did, guess what I'll do?" Xiao Yuhan walked to the door and suddenly turned around to ask.

Chen Ping shook his head.

Xiao Yuhan placed her hand on her neck and wiped it: "You will personally sever your own career!"

Chen Ping laughed heartily and drank a cup of wine.

Steady!

He hadn't eaten much because he was busy keeping Xiao Yuhan company.

He decided to eat and drink his fill before leaving the private room.

As soon as I stepped outside, I saw that Wang Haocheng, Yu Jiaojiao, and the others had also left the banquet and were chatting and laughing in the hall.
