Return of the King, Dominating the City

Chapter 1227 - 1212: Wings Gradually Grow Stronger

Although Song Yun was grumbling internally, he said with a very humble look on his face, "Mr. Zheng, I just arrived, and I saw you were busy, so I didn’t want to disturb you."

"Oh!"

Zheng Yun responded with an "oh" and said, "There are quite a few things going on lately, as you know. I just took over the work, and there are some things I need to familiarize myself with slowly. By the way, how is your health now? Have you recovered completely?"

"Thanks to your blessing, I’ve completely recovered now. I can run and jump, and I’m ready to be at your service, Mr. Zheng! I’m really hoping to do more for you so you can relax a bit," Song Yun said with a smile while speaking words that even he found a bit nauseating. However, in the system, flattering words are the least thing to worry about.

The flattery made Zheng Yun very pleased, and he thought that this Xiao Song was indeed quite shrewd. If his daughter wasn’t already married, he might have introduced her to Song Yun.

"Well, since you’re well now, I’m relieved," Zheng Yun said. "By the way, how are you handling the things left behind by the Money Group?"

"Under your guidance, we’re currently methodically inventorying the items left by the Money Group," Song Yun said. "I think it won’t be long before we can restore a bright outlook for Guangdong Province."

"Hmm." Zheng Yun nodded and said, "You’ve done a pretty swift job with this task, giving me a bit of face. Conveniently, I lack a confidant on your side, so you can manage those things left by the Money Group for me. Of course, I hope you understand your role—you are merely a medium I use to control certain things, got it?"

Song Yun nodded and said, "I understand. This is your territory—Xiao Song is just here to make a living. Whatever Mr. Zheng says, Xiao Song agrees without saying a word more!"

"Good!"

After acting humble in the office for half an hour, Zheng Yun finally let Song Yun go, feeling satisfied. Song Yun, from his heart, was still not very willing to deal with them because these people were often more snobbish than anyone else. Of course, you could say they had a sense of the bigger picture, but it always felt a bit devoid of human touch.

Just as Song Yun was contemplating swallowing this juicy morsel.

In the Northeast.

SY.

"Dad, this time, I underestimated Song Yun."

Song Kunhu stood in front of Song Kunlun with a face full of shame.

Song Kunlun chuckled and said, "Now Song Yun is gradually maturing, so it’s normal that you can’t outplay him. Furthermore, Zhou Jin was too careless. Not only did he fail to take down Song Yun, but he also got stabbed right in the heart by him. Tsk, tsk, tsk, I guess he’s been idle for too long, making his limbs less agile."

"Dad, do you think we should immediately take people to the Pearl River Delta and catch Song Yun off guard now that he’s not yet stable?" Song Kunhu asked.

"No hurry." Song Kunlun shook his head and said, "Song Yun has now firmly established himself in Guangdong; this is where his luck is at its best. I would like to see what means Song Yun will use to deal with the Green Sect pressing down on him after being crowned. Now, I suppose the ones feeling more uncomfortable than us are the Wen Commerce Association and the Green Sect. We can just watch the show from the sidelines."

"Got it, Dad!" Song Kunhu nodded.

Time slowly passed.

After hanging out with Zhao Yan for over an hour, Song Yun decisively drove a Passat to the municipal administration building, not because Song Yun wanted to drive but because Liu Ruoxi asked him to come to pick her up.

Shortly after he arrived downstairs, Liu Ruoxi, wearing a business suit dress, came out of the municipal building. Song Yun didn’t get out of the car, of course; this was also Liu Ruoxi’s arrangement. Although she’s around thirty, as long as you’re single, whether you’re a mayor or an ordinary citizen, at this age, going out with any male can always spark gossip.

Liu Ruoxi naturally got into the passenger seat, then smiled at Song Yun and said, "Thank you."

"No problem." Song Yun shook his head and asked, "Where to?"

"Let’s go to my place first, so I can change clothes," Liu Ruoxi replied.

Song Yun nodded and drove away from the municipal building.

As usual, he drove to the courtyard, parked the car downstairs, and let Liu Ruoxi go upstairs to change. It wasn’t long before Liu Ruoxi came out from the courtyard wearing a white dress.

The upper part of the dress had a somewhat low neckline, exposing her entire collarbone area, but not too low at least. Song Yun didn’t see any cleavage or anything, and the hem of the skirt was also just right at knee-length, revealing Liu Ruoxi’s fair and tender calves. A pair of sandals were on her feet. This outfit made Liu Ruoxi seem ten years younger, giving her a girl-next-door kind of vibe.

Song Yun was surprised as he looked at Liu Ruoxi, not expecting her to transform her aura like this. It seems the saying about women being changeable, even more so for women in the system, is true.

"What are you staring at?" Liu Ruoxi looked at Song Yun with puzzlement and asked.

"Nothing, it just feels like you look younger than me now," Song Yun said. "Your aura has changed completely."

"Hehe, I also dress like this when I’m not at work; you just don’t see it often," Liu Ruoxi laughed and said. No matter what woman it is, being told they look young always makes them feel delighted.

"Then to catch you not working more often, I should come see you," Song Yun said with a smile. Although he meant sitting, combined with Song Yun’s expression, anyone would associate it with something else.

Liu Ruoxi’s expression remained unchanged, but there was a slight warmth under her skin.

Song Yun drove Liu Ruoxi directly to the market.

It wasn’t long before they arrived at the destination.

Liu Ruoxi took out a large pair of sunglasses from her bag and put them on, covering almost half of her face, much like the sunglasses celebrities often wear when going out.

"Why do you have to look like a thief buying groceries?" Song Yun got out of the car, looked at Liu Ruoxi’s sunglasses, and asked with a laugh.

"Just trying to avoid trouble," Liu Ruoxi said. "And now that I’m out alone with you, it wouldn’t be good if someone saw and misunderstood."

"Oh? What kind of misunderstanding? Old cow eating young grass?" Song Yun quipped.

Liu Ruoxi just smiled and wasn’t bothered by the "old cow" remark but said, "You aren’t that young anymore."

"You aren’t that old either, hahaha," Song Yun said. "Young grass is still chewable."
