Chu Ning finally understood. Xu Xi’s uncle must be the Deputy Mayor to be able to sit next to the mayor.
These two people, who stood at the top of M City, were now sitting opposite her.

"Chu Ning, study hard and don’t slack off. Youngsters like you are the future of the country and the hope of the city’s development. I look forward to the day we can stand side-by-side for the betterment of the people." Chu Ning listened attentively, following the two men out of the tea house. The mayor’s secretary opened the car’s door and stood waiting for them.
"I’ll do my best to live up to these expectations," Chu Ning nodded. Mayor Li’s words were proof of his sincerity and clear desire to work with her in the future for the city’s sake. It was also a not-so-discrete method of pushing her toward politics as a possible path.
