Airport.

Song Guanchao sat on a bench in the arrival hall, looking at the flight information on the big screen.

Sun Jiajun's flight was delayed for ten minutes.

At eleven-thirty, the flight landed.

At eleven forty-five, passengers orderly walked out from the exit.

A middle-aged man in his early forties, about 1.75 meters tall, with a decent appearance, pulled a suitcase out of the crowd.

Song Guanchao stood up and walked over.

When the other person walked out, he stepped forward and said, "Mayor Sun."

Sun Jiajun looked at him, smiled, and extended his hand: "Hello, Director Song."

Song Guanchao naturally took the suitcase from his hand: "Mayor Sun, have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet."

"Any dietary restrictions?"

"Anything is fine."

"I'll arrange it then."

"Okay."

Half an hour later, the car entered the city.

Sun Jiajun's gaze pierced through the window, assessing the city where he was about to take office.

The car stopped outside a restaurant, Song Guanchao unbuckled his seatbelt: "Mayor Sun, we're here."

Three dishes and a soup, the two of them ate more than four hundred yuan.

After the meal, Song Guanchao drove him to the City Government compound.

A provincial city deputy mayor can choose to live in the compound or rent or buy a house with corresponding subsidies.

Pushing open the aged small Western-style building on the second floor, Song Guanchao set down the suitcase: "Mayor Sun, is there anything else I can help you with?"

Sun Jiajun turned around and said, "No, thank you."

"You're welcome." Song Guanchao smiled slightly: "Call me if you need anything."

"Okay."

Watching Song Guanchao leave, Sun Jiajun sat down.

He stretched his arms, slightly tilted his head back, letting his body sink fully into the worn-out leather sofa with a sense of outdated charm.

"Deputy Mayor..."

He muttered to himself.

Opening his eyes to look at the ceiling, a faint smile appeared on his calm face.

From a deputy mayor of a regular prefecture-level city to becoming a provincial city deputy mayor, he never dared to imagine this before.

When he bravely contacted the Provincial Committee, gambling his future and fate, voluntarily asking to solve the Zhang Yan case, the top two leaders in Xuzhou thought he was crazy.

But when the matter was resolved, those two leaders completely changed their attitude, showing unprecedented respect and politeness.

Sun Jiajun knew clearly that all this was not due to his ability.

He was just lucky to be noticed by a big figure, that's all.

But he felt that luck was part of strength.

He never considered himself worse than others.

Without background connections, being able to become Xuzhou's deputy mayor already proved his capability.

What he lacked was just an opportunity!

"Knock, knock."

Suddenly, a knock on the door sounded.

Sun Jiajun thought Song Guanchao forgot something.

He walked over and opened the door, only to see a woman with a soft physique and mature aura standing by the door.

The woman wore a black dress, paired with a white vest, wine-red large waves accentuating her fair skin.

With an oval face, smoky brows, phoenix eyes, a high nose bridge, and bright red lips, she exuded a stunning and bold beauty.

Looking at her figure, although the dress did not highlight her body shape like tight clothing, it was a fitted style, her slender waist like a weak willow, her round hips pushing the skirt up slightly.

The fullness on her chest gathered into an impressive bust.

Sun Jiajun did not linger on her beauty, asking, "Looking for someone?"

"Hello Mayor Sun, I'm Shi Qin, Director of the City Government's Secretarial Division."

Shi Qin held her bag with both hands in front, appearing docile, with her eyes shy as she spoke.

Sun Jiajun was surprised: "So it's Director Shi, is there something you need?"

Shi Qin said: "I heard from Mayor Zhang that you arrived today. So I thought, as you're new to Jiangzhou, you might need a guide familiar with Jiangzhou. I hope Mayor Sun doesn't mind my self-recommendation."

She brought up Zhang Yan to let Sun Jiajun know she had a good relationship with him, akin to being half his own, lowering his guard.

It's known that seducing is a skill.

A normal man's first reaction to a stranger woman offering herself wouldn't be ecstatic, but frightened.

Moreover, the person she was trying to win over was a mayor.

Without sufficient trust, even if she stripped naked and flirtatiously showcased, Sun Jiajun wouldn't spare her a glance.

Sure enough, after listening to her, Sun Jiajun's stern demeanor softened slightly, gesturing aside: "Please come in."

Shi Qin smiled at the corner of her mouth, twisting her soft waist, brushing past him, entering the room.

"I just arrived and I'm not very familiar here." Sun Jiajun stood in the living room, smiling wryly: "Sit down for a moment, I'll find where the kettle is."

"Mayor Sun, rest for a while, leave this to me."

Shi Qin walked into the kitchen, found the kettle, and turned on the tap.

Soon, she boiled a pot of hot water.

She also found two teacups in the cupboard; without tea leaves, they could only drink plain water.

She carried the teacups over, placed them on the coffee table, and naturally walked toward the room, without looking back: "I'll help tidy up for you."

This small building hasn't been lived in for years, but people often came to clean, the ground was clean without dust.

The wardrobe had blankets and bed sheets; she was efficient at housework. By the time the water cooled, she had tidied up.

"All set." Shi Qin returned to the living room, a thin layer of fragrant sweat dotting her forehead, charmingly spirited.

"Thank you." Sun Jiajun glanced at the time: "I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

"Sure."

Shi Qin sat beside him, picking up the cup, sipping slowly.

Sun Jiajun turned his head to look at her; Shi Qin's water-drinking pose revealed her curves, her neck fair and slender, a few strands of hair damp with fragrant sweat sticking to her cheeks and neck.

She put down the teacup, and Sun Jiajun simultaneously withdrew his gaze.

"Mayor Sun, your home needs some items. Later, I'll accompany you to buy some, alright?"

"No rush." Sun Jiajun said: "I'm new and unfamiliar with the city's situation. Can you tell me about it?"

"What would Mayor Sun like to know?"

"Anything you want to share."

"Hmm..." Shi Qin pondered, thinking where to start.

"Most directors in City Government divisions were promoted by Secretary Zhou and Mayor Zhang. Uh, Secretary Zhou used to be the Mayor."

Sun Jiajun asked, "What changes occurred in City Government after Mayor Wu took office?"

Shi Qin replied: "The City Government Office Director was dismissed, and later Director Song was promoted."

"Additionally, the deputy director of the Secretarial Division was also a promotion by Mayor Wu."

Sun Jiajun understood.

No wonder Shi Qin wanted to curry favor with him.

She was affected too.

A whole afternoon, through her, Sun Jiajun gained a detailed understanding of the City Government's dynamics.

Wu Qiangwei's influence in City Government wasn't as great as imagined.

Apart from Song Guanchao, other division heads were promoted by previous leaders.

Additionally, the Vice Mayor and Public Security Bureau Chief Liang Jianfeng was under her.

Besides that, all direct city departments and district governments stayed the same prior to her arrival with no changes.

"It's five o'clock. Let's go have some food."

Sun Jiajun smiled: "What would you like to eat?"

Shi Qin tilted her head, thinking, "Hot pot."
