Official Career Storm

Chapter 1577 1577:

Dinner is over.

The three of them left the restaurant, Wei Zhou is not a local, so he doesn't have a car.

There was no drinking tonight, so Song Guanchao could drive.

After he left, Wei Zhou lit a cigarette and smoked silently.

Wu Qiangwei said, "You didn't use to smoke."

"The pressure is quite high." Wei Zhou laughed at himself, and then fell silent again.

After a long silence, he suddenly said, "I like you."

"I know." Wu Qiangwei was very calm.

Wei Zhou asked, "Why didn't you wait until after I started the job to express your feelings?"

Wu Qiangwei shook her head, "That wouldn't be fair to you."

"Of course, I hope you can stay in Jiangzhou, but I don't want to do it this way."

"We're friends, friends shouldn't be calculating with each other."

Wei Zhou was stunned for a moment, then suddenly relaxed and smiled, "Are we still friends?"

"Of course," Wu Qiangwei said, "If you don't want to be friends with me, you can tell me."

Wei Zhou shook his head, "I was worried that after confessing, we couldn't even be friends, so I never dared to confess."

Wu Qiangwei responded, "No, friends are friends, it doesn't matter if the confession fails."

Wei Zhou asked, "If I had confessed to you earlier, would you have accepted?"

"No."

"Why?"

"You're not my type."

"..." Wei Zhou felt as if a knife had stabbed his chest. He realized he shouldn't have asked.

He looked at Song Guanchao, who was getting into the car in the distance, "What do you like about him?"

Wu Qiangwei countered, "Why do you think I like him?"

"???" Wei Zhou wondered, "Then why did you bring him over..."

"Oh, I just used his identity to break your feelings for me. You kept holding back without saying anything, I was worried for you. Plus, I didn't want your feelings for me to influence your decision to stay or not."

"Okay..." Wei Zhou said, "At least that's good news."

"What good news?"

"You don't like him."

"But I do have someone I like."

"..." Wei Zhou felt stabbed in the chest again, "Can I ask who it is?"

"You wouldn't know even if I told you."

Wei Zhou smiled bitterly, "I never realized you were so sharp-tongued before."

"Am I?"

"Definitely," Wei Zhou said, "You never used to keep stabbing me like this."

"Maybe it's because there's someone I like now."

"I..." Wei Zhou almost cursed.

I just failed in confessing, and you're flaunting your love in front of me, isn't that a bit too much?

Couldn't you at least consider my feelings!

"Get in the car, I'll have him take you back."

Song Guanchao drove over.

Wu Qiangwei opened the car door and sat in the back seat, while Wei Zhou sat in the passenger seat.

He was staying at a hotel nearby, so it only took a few minutes to arrive.

Song Guanchao glanced at Wu Qiangwei in the rearview mirror and said, "I'll drop off Dr. Wei."

Wei Zhou felt puzzled; why are you seeing me off? We're not that familiar.

The two of them walked into the lobby, and Song Guanchao said, "Mayor Wu tonight..."

"I know."

Song Guanchao was confused. I haven't finished speaking; what do you know?

Wei Zhou patted his shoulder, "She already told me."

Seeing Wei Zhou's look of disappointment, Song Guanchao couldn't help but feel a bit sympathetic.

"Dr. Wei, don't be too upset..."

"Of course I'm upset, but I'll adjust myself; you don't need to comfort me. Aside from the sadness, I'm more curious."

"Curious about what?"

"I want to know who the man she likes is."

Song Guanchao was puzzled, didn't you just say you know everything?

Song Guanchao puffed out his chest, raised his chin, and kept using his eyes to signal. Look at me, look at me, I am that man.

"Director Song, is your neck uncomfortable?" Wei Zhou asked with concern.

"Cough, my neck is a bit stiff; just stretching it out."

As expected of someone in research, his mind isn't very clear.

Forget it, if he doesn't know, he doesn't know.

No need to add insult to injury or stab him in the chest.

"At first, I thought the one Qiangwei likes is you."

Yes, that's right, it's me, trust your intuitive judgment.

Song Guanchao raised his head again.

"But she said it's not."

Song Guanchao stiffened and looked at him sharply, "Not?"

"Of course not," Wei Zhou gave a bitter smile, "It seems that you two didn't coordinate your stories in advance, or maybe she didn't want to lie to me."

"..." Song Guanchao really wanted to know what exactly the two of them talked about while he went to get the car.

"What did Mayor Wu say to you?"

"Let's not mention it," Wei Zhou didn't want to keep rubbing salt in his wound.

Come on, I really want to know!

Song Guanchao pretended to contemplate, "Maybe I can help you analyze it from what Mayor Wu said."

Wei Zhou's curiosity was piqued, and he immediately relayed their conversation to him verbatim.

After hearing it, Song Guanchao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, Wu Qiangwei had actually learned to lie and fool people.

"Director Song, can you guess who Mayor Wu likes?" Wei Zhou really wanted to know the answer.

He wanted to know what kind of man Wu Qiangwei really liked.

Song Guanchao shook his head, "It's all useless information; it's impossible to determine."

"However..."

His tone suddenly changed.

Wei Zhou hurriedly asked, "However what?"

Song Guanchao's expression became serious, "However, I think that any man liked by Mayor Wu would definitely be a standout among men! Although I don't know who he is, he must be outstanding."

Wei Zhou was stunned for two seconds, instinctively nodded, then sighed with a hint of envy and jealousy, "I wonder what kind of man could win her favor."

Song Guanchao seized the opportunity, "It may not be that Mayor Wu favors him; it could be that the excellent man favors Mayor Wu."

That man favors Mayor Wu...Wei Zhou suddenly felt even more dejected.

"Dr. Wei, you should rest early; I have to take Mayor Wu home."

"Okay...Hey, wait." Wei Zhou held him back and pulled out his phone, "Director Song, let's add each other on WeChat. If you find out who Mayor Wu's boyfriend is, please be sure to tell me."

Song Guanchao blinked, "Dr. Wei, you are..."

Wei Zhou said, "I just want to know what kind of man is worthy of her, no other reason."

"Sure, sure."

After adding each other as friends, Song Guanchao said farewell amicably.

"Phew~"

"It's exciting to get away after showing off."

Song Guanchao wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead.

If one day he finds out that Wu Qiangwei actually likes him, who knows if he'll come after me with a knife.

Back in the car, Wu Qiangwei asked, "Why did it take so long?"

Song Guanchao looked at her with a grin, without saying anything.

Wu Qiangwei felt uncomfortable under his gaze, inexplicably a little guilty.

"Dr. Wei had me chat with him for a while."

Song Guanchao started the car and drove onto the road.

Wu Qiangwei asked, "What did you talk about?"

Song Guanchao smiled, "Dr. Wei said you have someone you like."

"Mayor Wu is hiding it so well; I didn't even know you have someone you like."

Wu Qiangwei's eyelids twitched urgently, and a hint of panic, like a fawn, flashed in her clear eyes. For a moment, she was at a loss for words.
