Official Career Storm
Chapter 272

Chapter 272: Chapter 272

"I don’t want to be siblings with you!"

"I like you, I have always liked you!"

Zeng Li hugged him, her tears soaking his shirt.

"I know, but I’ve always seen you as a sister, I don’t have those kinds of feelings for you..."

"Feelings can be cultivated! You haven’t even tried, how would you know it wouldn’t work?"

Zeng Li said, "I originally planned to give you a surprise last night, but you treated me like this."

Surprise...

It was more like a scare.

Song Guanchao didn’t dare provoke her and played along, "What surprise?"

Zeng Li said, "I wanted to introduce you to a businessman from Hong Kong Island to help you boost your achievements."

A businessman from Hong Kong Island?

Song Guanchao’s heart stirred, and he asked, "The Gu Family from Hong Kong Island?"

"Uh-huh."

"You know the Gu Family?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, he realized he had asked something pointless.

After being rescued, the Gu Family surely had come to the mainland and personally thanked the old chief.

Probably, Zeng Li had made contact with the Gu Family at that time.

But because of the confidentiality agreement, Zeng Li didn’t know that she already knew the Gu Family.

She had learned that Cai Zixiang and Yang Jing had come to Lingjiang and wanted to introduce herself.

Song Guanchao felt a mix of emotions and suddenly thought he may have been too harsh earlier.

This girl had wholeheartedly been good to him, how could he deserve it?

Looking at the girl in his arms, sobbing uncontrollably, her eyes swollen like bulbs, Song Guanchao wanted to put an end to her hopes, but he couldn’t bring himself to utter those ruthless words.

"Let’s eat first, you need to have the strength to cry, okay?"

Hearing Song Guanchao’s gentle voice, Zeng Li looked up and saw compassion in his eyes.

Zeng Li’s aggrieved and sad heart felt like it had been touched by a ray of sunshine.

Song Guanchao wiped her tears, and Zeng Li said, "I want you to feed me."

"Okay, I’ll feed you."

Song Guanchao inserted a straw into the milk tea, gave her a sip, then lifted the food, alternating between a spoonful of white rice and a bite of the dish.

After eating most of the meal, Song Guanchao picked up a napkin and carefully wiped her lips.

As he did so, Zeng Li suddenly took his finger into her mouth and rolled it around with her tongue.

Song Guanchao laughed without a word, cleaned his finger, and asked, "Are you full?"

"I’m full."

"Then let’s talk."

Song Guanchao let her go and sat up straight, looking at her seriously, "I have a girlfriend, which you have seen."

Zeng Li remained silent.

Song Guanchao continued, "Moreover, I’m not a faithful man. You know, sitting in this position, there won’t be a lack of temptations around me. I’m not a paragon of virtue, if a woman throws herself at me and I happen to be interested, I’ll hardly refuse."

Zeng Li challenged, "Then why do you refuse me?"

The reason was quite simple; he wasn’t interested in her.

But he didn’t respond.

Because that would be too hurtful.

Song Guanchao said, "You are a good girl, there’s no need to waste your time on me, and after all, a coerced melon isn’t sweet."

Zeng Li was silent for a long time, then nodded, "Yes, you’re right, a coerced melon isn’t sweet."

Song Guanchao felt a release, but then he heard her say, "The melon isn’t sweet, but it’s hydrating!"

"..." So all my words, you didn’t listen to any of them?

"I know you don’t like me, so I’ll give you a chance to get rid of me."

Zeng Li suddenly stood up, unhooking her shoulder strap and pulling it off her arm.

The strap fell from her body, and her ample breasts gently jiggled right in front of him.

She bent down to pull off her underwear, exposing her most intimate parts to his view.

She stepped forward, sat on Song Guanchao’s lap, embraced him, her voice trembling, "Take me, and I won’t pester you ever again."

Song Guanchao steadied himself, lifted her off him, grabbed her strap, and hastily covered her.

"Quickly put this on."

"If you don’t want me, then I’ll keep pestering you."

"I’ve thought it through."

"I don’t care that you have a girlfriend. Anyway, I’m still young, I can wait!"

"Ali..."

"You don’t need to persuade me, because I won’t listen."

Zeng Li grabbed his arm, placing his hand on her chest, and said, "Either take me, or I’ll keep bothering you."

Song Guanchao removed his hand, turned, and headed toward the door. "You should rest well, I’m leaving now."

Watching his hurried retreat, Zeng Li pursed her lips but soon felt somewhat triumphant.

At least he had reacted to her body.

"Hmph, I don’t believe I can’t win you over!"

...

After having lunch nearby, Song Guanchao met with a few people from the project team.

That afternoon, he spent his time accompanying the engineer, He Songming, throughout various sites.

He didn’t understand the technical aspects, and he found the surveying process tedious.

The next day, when he arrived at the City Committee, Zeng Li was also there.

The young girl had returned to her usually quirky self.

After cleaning his office and preparing to leave, Wu Qiangwei stopped him.

"Did you find out if Zeng Li has a boyfriend?"

"No, she doesn’t seem like she has one."

"Keep an eye on her."

"Okay."

Upon leaving the office, Zeng Li said, "When do you have time? I want to introduce you to Uncle Gu’s secretary."

"Forget it," Song Guanchao shook his head. "Mayor Zheng invited him, it’s inappropriate for me to meet him through your introduction. If Mayor Zheng finds out, he might think it was Secretary Wu’s idea, which would look bad."

"Oh, it won’t be like that."

"I know you want to help me, but it’s not suitable. Such actions are taboo in official circles."

Hearing his serious tone, Zeng Li had to give up: "Alright then."

She then asked, "When will you take me out for a meal?"

"Let’s wait till I’m less busy."

"Are you very busy right now?"

"Extremely, I still have to go and assist the National Railway Bureau’s engineers with their project survey soon."

Just as he finished speaking, his phone rang – it was a call from He Songming.

"Look."

He shook his phone and answered, "Mr. He, alright, I’ll come over now."

After hanging up, Song Guanchao said, "I need to go."

Zeng Li pouted, and suddenly thought of Song Guanchao’s girlfriend.

She still didn’t know what that woman did.

Her impression of the woman was only based on her height and appearance.

"About my height, quite pretty..."

"Hmph, he has good taste."

"Bet she’s wild in bed."

Zeng Li wanted to investigate, but as soon as the thought emerged, she squashed it.

"No, Brother Song wouldn’t like it if I did that, he’d definitely get mad if he found out."

Zeng Li pouted again, feeling a bit distressed.

She really wanted to ask that woman whether she pursued Song Guanchao or if it was the other way around.

She was curious about getting some advice from her.

...

"These two days, let’s finalize the route in Lingbei District first," He Songming said while looking at his notebook.

Song Guanchao tilted his head and asked, "Are An County and Dujiang County also within the planning scope?"

"Yes," He Songming replied. "Let’s head out."

In a blink of an eye, three days passed.

New City Company.

Liu Lanzi hadn’t gone to Dujiang County these past few days; she was waiting for a call from Song Guanchao.

It had been almost a week since she returned from Dujiang County without any news.

There was no news from Song Guanchao, and Director Xu hadn’t called her to notify about the bidding.

It was as if the matter had never existed.

But she believed in Song Guanchao.

Since he said there would be a result in a few days, there definitely would be.

Finally.

On Saturday, there was news from Dujiang County.
