Chapter 1907: Chapter 10: Sounding Out East and West
Yan Xiaoxi, "..."
This tone—
It’s as if she meant something to him. Was she mistaken? Or is the Mayor always this dramatic?
Jin Bo sat there, opened his laptop, and began handling work.
Yan Xiaoxi, sitting opposite, wanted to speak but felt embarrassed due to his overly focused and serious expression.
But why was she waiting for him to finish work?
It was quite baffling!
However, seeing someone working earnestly, she didn’t feel right interrupting.
Sitting there, bored, she picked up her phone and browsed through Weibo, stumbled upon his Weibo, the Mayor of Hong Kong. It had a lot of work-related photos.
Opening one, she glanced at the man opposite concentrating on his work. She originally thought they were staged, but unexpectedly, his way of working truly matched the photos, like a scenic view.
Indeed, descendants of aristocratic families carry an elegant aura.
Clicked into the comment section, the Mayor’s fans were quite obsessed, expressing affection, albeit not as vulgar as in the entertainment industry; it was purely various forms of admiration.
...
An hour later, Jin Bo finished his work, pushed his laptop away, shut it down, picked up his car keys, stood up, and looked in Yan Xiaoxi’s direction, "Let’s go."
Yan Xiaoxi stood up, "Mayor Jin, I should head back, there’s still work at the company."
Jin Bo opened the door and looked at Yan Xiaoxi, "Need me to call your superior for leave?"
"..."
What kind of logic is that!
Yan Xiaoxi quickly responded, "No need."
Jin Bo watched Yan Xiaoxi exit the room, closed the office door, and looked toward Fang Zheng, who was watching him and Yan Xiaoxi.
Fang Zheng hurriedly lowered his head.
Jin Bo glanced at Yan Xiaoxi, "My assistant is fine in every way, just a bit gossipy."
Fang Zheng, "..."
He was curious, not gossiping!
He was just worried about Miss Yan Xiaoxi, alright?
Such a pretty girl, he wondered how the Mayor could bear to revoke her press credentials last time. He even doubted the Mayor’s eyesight for not seeing clearly.
But now—
Jin Bo said, "Arrange my schedule for the next month, and give it to me this afternoon when work resumes."
Fang Zheng, "..."
The next month?
Does he still have time to eat lunch?
Skipping lunch would still be tight to make it by the afternoon, right?
Just for a bit of gossip, and retribution comes so soon!
Jin Bo looked at Yan Xiaoxi.
Yan Xiaoxi felt a bit sympathetic toward Fang Zheng.
The two of them entered the elevator together. Jin Bo pressed the B1 floor button and looked at Yan Xiaoxi, "What do you want to eat?"
Yan Xiaoxi, "..."
The Mayor wanted to treat her to lunch?
Wasn’t that improper?
Why did it feel like a grand banquet for betrayal?
Jin Bo observed her expression, "No need to be formal, you saved me last time, and I haven’t had the chance to thank you."
Yan Xiaoxi, "..."
She didn’t buy that!
Earlier, he hadn’t planned to thank her at all, right?
Haha, saying this nearly a year later, who would believe it?
But since he’s the Mayor, and she’s a citizen of Hong Kong, she couldn’t afford to offend him, relying on the Mayor’s goodwill to live in Hong Kong. Speaking too bluntly wouldn’t be wise.
"Mayor Jin had already treated my brother and me before."
Jin Bo, "That was for your brother, and you were just included. This time it is specifically for you."
Yan Xiaoxi, "..."
With the conversation reaching this point, she couldn’t argue further!
Even if she cursed him inwardly as a bastard, he was still the Mayor of Hong Kong, and offending him could mean losing her press credentials. How would she survive then?
Upon reaching the B1 floor, she was about to get to her car when she heard the man’s melt-your-bones voice, "Ride with me."
