Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Sure Enough, There’s a Problem

They dined, shopped, watched movies—an entire afternoon, and the smile never once left Chu Shihan’s lips.

Her lively and outgoing nature was like that of a butterfly, fluttering around Lin Fan, who naturally found it inconvenient to start probing into her background. But on a weekday, for a newly appointed junior clerk to just take off from work was nearly impossible. However, where did she obtain such privilege? That needed no further explanation.

"Feng, you’re from Lotus Town, aren’t you?"

At dinner, the two of them sat in a Western restaurant, with Chu Shihan curiously blinking her big eyes while holding a knife and fork.

"Yeah, from Victory Village Team 2 of Lotus Town, what about it?"

Lin Fan looked at Chu Shihan with puzzlement—why had she suddenly brought up this subject?

"Nothing much, I just recently heard that there’s going to be a scenic tourism area developed in Lotus Town, and I heard they plan to select a Deputy Mayor from the agency to be stationed there. I also heard that this is a golden opportunity for career advancement. You’ve been a junior clerk in the agency for such a long time without a promotion. Don’t you want to strive for it? Become a Deputy Mayor, and once the tourism district is established, you could return to the agency and at least be promoted to a full-fledged department head."

Chu Shihan’s words almost made Lin Fan certain that she definitely had a powerful background; after all, this information hadn’t even reached Zhu Defu’s level yet, and those below hadn’t been informed. Not to mention that a junior clerk from the human resources department would never have access to such information without a strong background.

"Such a fast track is always reserved for those with connections, how could it be my turn."

Lin Fan was eyeing this opportunity as well, but he certainly couldn’t say that now. The only thing he could rely on, for the time being, was the pillow talk with Zhang Caini—a five percent chance was already pretty good.

"You’re so talented, and you’re a local from Lotus Town; you definitely know the place better. Why wouldn’t it be your turn? You have to have confidence in yourself. Your gold will surely shine."

Chu Shihan’s words, so certain, clearly had a special meaning, especially since these kinds of external assignments were not about self-nomination but entirely depended on leadership arrangements. If this was to be applied for from the bottom up, it would essentially require a request at Qu Liping’s level and then escalation to the leader in charge for submission up to the Deputy Mayor responsible for the issue—a process which was nearly as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
