Chapter 880 - 881: Better to be a Younger Sister
Song Xiaodong said with a smile, "Right, otherwise how could you be able to act freely in Minghe?"
Excited, Shen Dongyang more realistically said, "This... isn’t this a bit too difficult? I’ve only just been promoted to executive position. Even if I get promoted quickly, it would still take two to three years before I could have the chance to become the mayor, and Minghe’s level is higher than our Tiannan. Directly becoming the mayor, that’s too big of a leap."
Song Xiaodong said, "On this point, rest assured, since I’ve mentioned this to you, I have such confidence."
Shen Dongyang clenched his fists, calmed his excited feelings, and said, "If that’s the case, what else can I say? I’ll take on this responsibility."
Song Xiaodong continued, "The forces in Minghe are intricate and complicated, our Su family will not be able to help you. We fear involving you in family matters, so other things, of course, will have to depend on your own efforts."
Shen Dongyang laughed heartily, saying boldly, "Once I get to that position, if I still don’t have the ability to stabilize it, then it would mean that my years as an official were in vain."
"Alright! Then it’s decided."
In front of Shen Dongyang, Song Xiaodong made a call to Lu Lang, discussing his thoughts and his intention for Shen Dongyang to become the mayor.
Lu Lang said, "I can’t guarantee this for you, after all, it involves the promotion and transfer of a municipal leader, which always requires balancing many aspects."
"Old Chief, this is a great opportunity to balance family power. Having someone from another family as the mayor would be more troublesome. If you disagree, then the Su family will have to compete for it. I’ve found someone completely uninvolved with family power, you can’t say it’s not possible, or it would be difficult for me."
"You rascal, becoming the family head really changes a person, learning to navigate through interests. Honestly, I don’t see a big problem, but I haven’t discussed it with the higher-ups yet, I naturally don’t know how they’ll react."
"Old Chief, aren’t you being tactful too?"
