Xiang Tianliang suddenly realized that he had unintentionally become a chess piece, "Following the old director, the big political direction", several deputy directors wanted to get something from him, as long as the new director's candidate was not finalized, they would continue to play with his mind.

  Happy to hook him, secretly promising the office director's position, Chen Wenyun scolded him, using the problem of turning regular to make things happen, has been directly resolved by the old bureau chief, and Yu Feilong doesn't need to be said, always taking advantage of him, once discovered that something hidden in "Qinghe City Chronicle" was lost, Yu Feilong will definitely look for him again.

  Now, Sun Zhanlu is setting him up, a trip of "official business", making Xiang Tianliang advance and retreat in embarrassment. Sun Zhanlu's set-up was quite vicious, but he had to admit that it was a beautiful and inescapable trap.

  After returning from the restroom, the card game had already ended.

  He glanced at the package in Sun Zhanlu's hand, which was bulging with a considerable amount of money. The "bill" should have been settled by now. He didn't make a sound and didn't sit down either.

  "It's dawn, we should go." Sun Zhanlu smiled slightly and lifted his right leg with the package, indicating that they had obtained the "victory fruit".

  Xiang Tianliang replied: "Director Sun, we should head back to work now."

  "However, General Zhu and General Huang have a suggestion, which I've already agreed to."

  Sun Zhanlu was smiling, Zhu Qin and Huang Ying were also smiling, they looked at Xiang Tianliang and smiled, with a thousand charms.

  "Director Sun, what advice?" Xiang Tianliang was at a loss.

  Sun Zhanlu smiled and said: "All the procedures for the Xianhe Hotel project have been completed, and it will start construction before and after New Year's Day. According to the municipal regulations, key projects require our Construction Bureau to assign a special person to follow up. Zhu and Huang suggested that you be in charge of this specifically, and I have agreed. Therefore, from now on, all matters related to the Xianhe Hotel project will be handled by you."

  At the sound of Tian Liang, he hastily said: "Director Sun, I'm not going to make it, I don't understand anything." He thought to himself, this is trouble, from now on, won't he have to deal with these two women every three days? This is going to be a big hassle.

  "What's going on? Does Director Sun's instruction not count?" Sun Zhanlu's triangular face immediately stiffened.

  "No, no, I didn't mean it like that."

  "Then give me a reason, so I can also explain it to the two bosses."

  Xiang Tianliang hesitated for a moment and said cautiously: "Director Sun, the follow-up project work is managed by the Construction Management Department. I...I am from the Bureau Office."

  Sun Zhanlu waved his hand and said seriously, "As for the Construction Management Bureau, I will make a call. The Xianhe Hotel project has its particularity, it is not a financial investment project, but a strong support from patriotic overseas Chinese to the country's construction. It would be beneficial to strengthen management and support by assigning someone from the bureau office to follow up."

  Zhu Qin looked at Xiang Tianliang and asked with a smile: "Little fellow countryman, are you unwilling to cooperate with us?"

  "It's not like that, don't get me wrong."

  Huang Ying also had an unhappy face, "Little countryman, you look down on us?"

  He looked up at the sky with a helpless expression and sighed: "I'll just follow Director Sun's instructions."

  Among the giggles, Sun Zhanlu got up and walked out.

  Toward the dawn, he hastily followed up, and didn't even say goodbye.

  It's actually unnecessary, as the other party has already taken the initiative to greet him, rushing up from left and right, causing his two arms to quickly become surrounded by soft and delicate breasts.

  Sun Zhanlu turned his head and looked back, laughing loudly towards the sky.

  Finally managed to escape the harassment of Wen Rou Xiang, and hastily got into the car at dawn, finally letting out a long sigh.

  "Haha... silly kid, you're quite lucky."

  Sun Zhanlu drove while still laughing wildly.

  "Director Sun, you're harming me!" Xiang Tianliang was extremely embarrassed.

  Sun Zhanlu slowly collected his smile, one hand holding the steering wheel, and the other hand took out a bundle from the bag and threw it to Xiang Tianliang on the passenger seat.

  "Here, this is your one thousand dollars."

  "Director Sun, I, I don't want to, okay?" Xiang Tianliang held the money as if it were a hot potato.

  "No way." Sun Zhanlu's triangular face immediately stiffened up.

  "I... but this..." Tian Liang didn't know what to say, a whole 10,000 yuan, equivalent to his annual salary.

  Sun Zhanlu slowed down the car and his tone also softened a lot, "Xiao Xiang, you can't be a professional criminal police officer, in the future you'll have to mix in official circles. As someone who's been through it, I want to use my seniority to teach you a few things, whether you listen or not is up to you."

  Xiang Tianliang hastily said: "Director Sun, you speak, I'm listening."

  "The officialdom is actually three circles: the circle of power, the circle of emotions and the circle of money. Everyone in it has to pass through the gates of power and money. The gate of power? As soon as you enter, it's said that 'the master leads you in, but your own practice depends on yourself.' How far you can go in the future depends on your own wisdom. I've said this before, but it's all in vain."

  He whispered to Tian Liang: "I'm just a small clerk, who would have thought of those things."

  "As for being popular, I don't have the right to speak, my parents gave me this face, which has saved me a lot of trouble. In this regard, the key is to grasp the degree and measure, it's all up to you, haha, who let you look so sunny, with a face that can kill all kinds of women, from young girls to middle-aged women?"

  Xiang Tianliang smiled wryly again, "Director Sun, you're teasing me again."

  "Finally, it's about money, and the key is also a matter of degree."

  "Director Sun, what kind of standard is this?" Xiang Tianliang calmed down and asked sincerely.

  After a pause, Sun Zhanlu said: "Let's discuss this issue from another angle. I'll ask you, on our business trip this time, others didn't give us red envelopes, but only won some prizes in the game. If you don't want it, will I bring you out next time?"

  "Definitely not."

  Sun Zhanlu smiled faintly and asked again, "What if you encounter this situation when following other leaders on a business trip in the future? If you say no to them, how will they treat you?"

  "Then, I won't bring arrows later for sure."

  "So, when all the leaders don't take you out to play, can you still stand firm in the organization? Do you want to be like Old Master Xu? Do you want to be another Old Liu?"

  Xiang Tianliang fell silent, he understood the truth that Sun Zhanlu had said, but the bend in his mind couldn't be turned around for a while.

  "A mountain too high has no immortals, water too clear has no fish. What is called clarity is just self-clarity, it's nothing but the bitter complaints of a scholar after drinking wine. Xiao Xiang, you think about it slowly."

  "Thank you for Director Sun's teachings."

  Sun Zhanlu glanced sideways at the money in Xiang Tianliang's hand, and smiled slightly: "If you don't want it, just throw it into the trash can and pretend nothing happened today."

  Facing the sky, he remained silent for a long time, then let out a soft sigh.

  "Director Sun, you're really something, just one move and I'm caught off guard."

  In his heart, he cursed loudly, "Damn you, you deceived me, I'll deceive you back."
