"Dongxu, you don't understand the officialdom. As the head of the Archives Bureau, far from the center of power, and nearly without any notable achievements, it's almost impossible for the leaders to notice Uncle Lu. For him to make a comeback, that's tough!" Lv Chongliang shook his head.

"It's tough, but not impossible," Ge Dongxu said.

"Thank you, boss, I appreciate your kindness. Actually, it's quite nice for my dad to be like this now. At least he has more time to spend with my mom, not like before when he didn't even have time to come home for meals," Lu Lei patted Ge Dongxu on the shoulder, gratefully.

He thought Ge Dongxu was trying to comfort him.

"It's good that you can think like that," Ge Dongxu smiled.

"Damn! It looks like I showed off to the wrong crowd!" Lv Chongliang scratched his head as he looked at Lu Lei and Ge Dongxu.

"Nonsense!" He Guizhong and Li Chenyu gave Lv Chongliang a disdainful look and then patted Lu Lei on the shoulder, "Don't mind Lv Semi-Immortal; this guy doesn't have much up his sleeves, just a bit of a slick talker."

"Yes, yes, I'm just babbling. Things in officialdom are indeed unpredictable," Lv Semi-Immortal nodded repeatedly.

"Haha, alright! What's all this about? It's not like I'm in trouble. Anyway, my dad is also an official, isn't he?" Lu Lei laughed.

"Damn, that's right, and my dad is still a worker. You guys should be comforting me instead," Li Chenyu suddenly slapped his head upon hearing this.

"Haha!" As the words fell, the five of them looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter.

...

"Wenjun, have you heard your dad mention anything about Deputy Governor Ren taking early retirement due to illness?" At the Golden Mountain Hotel, in a hotel room, Director Li handed Sun Wenjun a cigarette, lit it for him, then asked.

Sun Wenjun took a deep puff of smoke, then blew a smoke ring; he very much enjoyed the feeling of being flattered like this.

"Uncle Li, are you asking about the candidate my dad has in mind?" Sun Wenjun asked, trying to appear profound, after blowing a smoke ring.

"Hehe, Wenjun, now that you're at the university, you're indeed different from before. As soon as I mention it, you understand everything," Director Li's eyes lit up slightly, and he complimented with a smile.

Recently, a Deputy Governor Ren from Golden Mountain County suddenly fell ill and could not work normally, so he took early retirement due to illness.

With Deputy Governor Ren's retirement, naturally a position opened up in the county government.

In theory, all division-level officials in Golden Mountain County had a chance for the vacant deputy governor position.

Of course, that was in theory. For someone like Lu Ming, head of the County Archives Bureau and also a division-level official, it was virtually impossible to be considered for this position.

But it was different for Director Li. As the head of the county government office, also a division-level official, he worked closely with the governor, was the supervisor of the county office, and held significant power. Therefore, the likelihood of him being promoted to this position was relatively high, which is why Director Li was quite eager for this spot and had been networking these days.

An important figure in this networking was Sun Wenjun's father, the Secretary-General of Jinzhou City's government.

Because the position of deputy governor was under the jurisdiction of the city, even though Golden Mountain County's opinion was important, the real decision power lied with the city. Sun Yuncheng, hailing from Golden Mountain County and a close associate of the mayor, would surely be consulted by the mayor of Jinzhou City if he wanted to push his own candidate from the local officials in Golden Mountain County. At that moment, Sun Yuncheng's opinion would be very important.

"After going to university, one does slowly start to understand more and more. I don't know the specifics of this matter yet, but whenever my dad mentions Golden Mountain County at home, he always talks about you," Sun Wenjun said.

"Haha, that's good, that's good. Thanks, Wenjun. I won't disturb your rest any longer. Let me know if you need anything," Director Li said, feeling very pleased upon hearing this and politely made his exit from the room.

When Director Li left Sun Wenjun's room, Nico also stepped out of hers, the ends of her golden hair still carrying a few crystalline droplets of water. Her snow-white skin glowed with a tender pink hue after bathing, and her body exuded the enticing fragrance of a fresh bath.

She was wearing a Huaxia-style floral blouse paired with denim jeans.

The floral blouse actually looked quite rustic, and if worn by a girl from Huaxia, it would likely appear provincial; yet on Nico, it took on an alluring charm of exotic temptations, compelling one to take several more glances.

Having left her room, Nico approached Ge Dongxu's room door, took a deep breath, and then knocked.

It was Li Chenyu who answered the door.

Beholding Nico standing dignified at the door, her high peaks stretching the floral blouse taut, as if ready to burst through the fabric, several water droplets from her hair falling onto the blouse and moistening a small area, making the light fabric cling to her body in an indescribably enchanting and seductive manner, Li Chenyu's eyes practically popped out of their sockets, almost feeling like he was about to pass out.

"Ms. Nico, is, is there something you need?" Li Chenyu found his throat very dry.

"I'm looking for Ge Dongxu, is he here?" Nico flashed a slight smile at Li Chenyu.

Li Chenyu felt his heart racing, as if about to leap out of his chest.

"Oh, oh, Ge Dongxu!" As Li Chenyu said this, he scurried back into his room.

Indeed, as a greenhorn, he had never spoken face-to-face this closely with a beautiful woman fresh from a bath, let alone a blonde beauty like Miss Nico, and he simply did not know how to continue facing her.

"It's over! Completely messed up! I just couldn't speak properly in front of Ms. Nico!" As soon as Li Chenyu returned to his room, he held his head in his hands and moaned in dismay.

"You really chickened out, huh?" He Guizhong and the others teased.

"I chickened out? Then why don't you go? Let's see if you can still speak in front of Ms. Nico!" Li Chenyu retorted defensively.

"Fine, let's go. You lead the way, leader; Ms. Nico called for you!" He Guizhong and the others said, and then pushed Ge Dongxu forward.

Although Ge Dongxu did not wish to face Nico, with her knocking at the door and a group of classmates pushing him from behind, he had no choice but to steel himself and step out of the bedroom to the door, followed by He Guizhong and the others.

The moment he stepped out of the bedroom, not only did He Guizhong and the others gawk, but even Ge Dongxu, who was used to seeing beautiful women, had his eyes light up with a stunning impression.

"Dongxu!" Seeing Ge Dongxu come out, Nico exclaimed with delight.

"What is it?" Ge Dongxu asked.

"I feel like going out for a walk, would you accompany me?" Nico moved a bit closer and asked Ge Dongxu with her beautiful eyes on him.

As soon as Nico uttered these words, He Guizhong and the others were so shocked their jaws almost hit the floor.

"It's getting late, better to rest early. We can go out for a walk in the morning," Ge Dongxu said, feeling slightly tempted but still declined courteously without hesitation.

Hearing Ge Dongxu actually refusing Ms. Nico's invitation, everyone nearly raised their feet to kick him fiercely in the rear.

Damn it, this is Ms. Nico! This is the Nico who's driving countless students and faculty at Jiangnan University mad! And this guy just rejected her invitation! This is simply an affront to the heavens and the earth!
