Chapter 146: Blocked in the small alley

It must be said that Ning Shu Yue was truly helpful. Although she didn't explicitly state this connection, Su Yang knew it clearly in his heart.

However, he still pretended to be surprised and said, "Are you kidding me? Mayor Gao hasn't been in Lancheng City for long, and I'm just a small town mayor. Would he see me?"

"Oh my, forget about Mayor Gao, would his secretary even look at me? I'm afraid even the County Magistrate might not be able to see him."

"Besides, if I really see Mayor Gao, what would I say?"

Ning Shu Yue said, "You were once the secretary to the Municipal Party Committee Secretary, look at your lack of ambition. Mayor Gao is also a person, is he going to eat you?"

"I was classmates with Mayor Gao's secretary, Secretary Gu, so it's normal for me to be able to get a line to him. But whether Mayor Gao is willing to see you, I don't know. Anyway, you should still make the necessary preparations."

"By the way, Mayor Gao came from the Provincial Transportation Department, you know that, right? So he is very concerned about road construction. If it were any other leader, I definitely wouldn't recommend you."

As she spoke, she took out her phone right in front of Su Yang, found a number in her contacts, and called it. Soon, the other end answered. "Secretary Gu, how are you? This is Ning Shu Yue."

"I have a matter here. There is a cadre from Jincheng County who wants to build a road in their town, but funds are short everywhere in the middle of the year. However, because they are developing an enterprise, building this road is urgent. So I was thinking, could we give him a chance to see Mayor Gao?"

Secretary Gu on the other end was completely stunned. What is this young lady doing? Calling me and being so polite. Usually, wouldn't she just notify me?

I remember last time she asked me to make an appointment with people from the Finance Bureau and Civil Affairs Bureau, saying it was also a cadre from Jincheng County. This time she wants to see the boss directly? Who exactly is this person? So much face?

Although he thought this in his heart, he said, "Okay, okay, I know. I'll go report to the boss right now."

"If I remember correctly, the boss has time at 4:30 this afternoon. Have the person come over early by then."

Of course, he knew that the boss would definitely see someone introduced by the young lady Ning. He knew that he had been following the boss from the Transportation Department, so he knew this young lady Ning very well. If it weren't for a particularly important person or matter, she wouldn't push it to the boss.

He had been in the Transportation Department for so many years and had never seen this young lady recommend anyone to handle matters. And given the boss's personality, he would definitely agree, so he stated the time in advance.

Ning Shu Yue said, "Then thank you. I'll wait for your news."

After the call, she said to Su Yang, "After you finish eating, find a place to rest for a while. Go to the Municipal Government around 4 o'clock. If Mayor Gao is willing to see you, the time will be around 4:30."

"But you must remember, you must state the key points, talk about your difficulties, talk about your... sigh, forget it, why am I wasting my breath on you? You should know these things better than I do."

"After all, you were once the number one secretary in Lancheng City that countless people wanted to curry favor with. Although it wasn't for long, you must have been influenced by how people below report their work."

Su Yang chuckled in his heart. Of course he knew. If he didn't even understand this, what kind of town mayor would he be?

However, he said, "Knowing is one thing, you telling me is another. These are two different things."

"You're being so good to me, do you have any ulterior motives? If you do, tell me in advance so I can be mentally prepared."

"Get over yourself. But I'll remember what you said. I'm helping you now, but you'll have to repay me in the future. You can't go back on your word then." Ning Shu Yue tilted her head and said.

Su Yang said, "Sure, the fact that you would ever need me to do something for you is something I dream about."

About 40 minutes later, they finished the spicy hot pot, but Su Yang had no intention of paying the bill yet. He kept looking outside from time to time.

After waiting for another two minutes, seeing a few shirtless men appear outside, he finally went to pay the bill.

Then he said to Ning Shu Yue, "It's still early before you have to go to work in the afternoon. Why don't I treat you to a movie?"

This left Ning Shu Yue confused. In her impression, Su Yang was just a straight man who only looked for her when he needed help; he didn't have these flowery tricks. And the time wasn't right either; it was noon. Normally, shouldn't movies be in the evening?

But Su Yang looked so sincere, would it be bad to refuse? She thought for a moment and said, "Sure, I don't have much to do this afternoon anyway. Going back at three or four is fine."

Although she said that, whether she went to the office or not didn't matter. Who would dare to manage her? Of course, in the current situation, many people just show up to sign in and then disappear; that's normal. The fact that she could insist on going to work was already commendable.

After going out, Su Yang saw Zhou Tai waiting outside and said, "Go find a place to rest. I'll call you when I'm done."

Zhou Tai looked at Ning Shu Yue, then at Su Yang, and suddenly realized something. He immediately said, "Okay, Mayor Su, I promise not to disturb you."

Then he disappeared in a flash, thinking to himself that Mayor Su is indeed Mayor Su, even his girlfriend looks like a fairy.

But compared to Liu Cai Xia, she was still a little bit lacking...

Saying this, he hid back in the car to chat with Liu Cai Xia.

Su Yang took Ning Shu Yue out to the main road, then ducked directly into an alley and walked toward a nearby movie theater.

Ning Shu Yue said, "Why are you taking this small path? Wouldn't we be there if we just walked through the pedestrian street next to us?"

Su Yang said, "This small path is closer. We'll be there once we walk through it. If we walk through the pedestrian street, it's sunny and a waste of time. What if you get tanned?"

Ning Shu Yue's heart skipped a beat. She thought, what's wrong with Su Yang today? Could it be that he really has some ideas? That shouldn't be, why didn't I see it before?

If he really wants to say something later, what should I do? For a moment, her heart was racing.

She was truly afraid that he wouldn't come, yet afraid that he would act recklessly.

However, Su Yang walked forward while secretly glancing back. Seeing a few people following behind, he felt relieved.

He thought to himself, sorry, Young Lady Ning. Actually, I'm not going to watch a movie at all. I'm doing this to lure these people out. Otherwise, if we kept walking on the main road, they wouldn't have had a chance.

Sure enough, just as they were about to reach the end of the small alley, the seven or eight people behind them quickened their pace and caught up.

Su Yang ignored them and kept walking forward, but several figures also rushed out from the corner ahead, completely blocking him and Ning Shu Yue in this alley. ===== CHAPTER 147 =====
