Chapter 880: Chapter 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?"

"You brat, you’re really something. Alright, I’m going to report it right now and see what the higher-ups think."

Watching Song Xiaodong talk and laugh freely, Shen Dongyang felt a mix of emotions. Song Xiaodong, at such a young age, had already reached a level where he could decide the promotion of a municipal official. It really makes one wonder what his future holds.

Sun Dongxiang, watching Song Xiaodong’s commanding presence, liked him more and more and said, "Little Song, you haven’t visited our house for so long. You must eat at our place tonight."

"This..." Song Xiaodong hesitated a bit. It was just past noon now, staying here for dinner meant staying here all day.

Sun Dongxiang said insistently, "Don’t be like this and that, it’s decided."

"Alright then," Song Xiaodong had to agree.

Shen Dongyang laughed and suggested, "Then let’s play a couple of rounds of chess first."

Sun Dongxiang glared at him and said, "What chess? Go grocery shopping with me, Little Yue, take good care of Little Song and don’t neglect him."

Shen Dongyang immediately understood, gave a wry smile towards Song Xiaodong, and said, "Looks like no chess then, I’m off to buy groceries."

The two quickly slipped out, creating an opportunity for Song Xiaodong and Shen Yue.

Shen Yue pouted and said, "My mom, really, it’s like I can’t get married, always trying to push us together."

Song Xiaodong chuckled and said, "It must be because I’m too outstanding."

"Pfft..." Shen Yue, initially feeling a bit awkward, burst into laughter at Song Xiaodong’s remark, and reprimanded, "Even if you really are excellent, you don’t have to say it yourself, do you?"

Song Xiaodong laughed and said, "Well, I am aware of my own virtues."

Smiling, Shen Yue said, "Big Brother Song, you’re getting more and more interesting. I thought the more prestigious you became, the harder it would be to approach you."

\"We are familiar with each other, why act so formally? By the way, how is your volunteer teaching program going?" Song Xiaodong changed the topic.

Upon mentioning this, Shen Yue’s spirits lifted, and she immediately said, "It’s almost all set. The money you gave me last time has already been invested. I expect by the time I get there, the new school will be ready."

Song Xiaodong nodded repeatedly, approvingly saying, "That’s really wonderful. If there’s anything you need money for, just tell me, I will fully support you."

Shen Yue’s eyes narrowed with a smile, saying, "Needless to say, if there’s such a thing, the first person I think of is you, the tycoon. By the way, Big Brother Song, I’m really curious now, what’s this about you being the family head?"

Song Xiaodong briefly explained to Shen Yue, who then suddenly grinned and said, "Does that mean you are very, very rich now?"

"Seems like it," Song Xiaodong smiled and nodded along.

"Is it like a billion?"

"Definitely more."

"Twenty billion?"

"About that."

"Whoa... that’s so much, how would you even spend all that money?"

"I’m talking about US dollars."

"Ah... you’re killing me," Shen Yue dramatically collapsed onto the sofa.

Song Xiaodong laughed out loud, "Is it that surprising?"

"I am overwhelmed by your wealth," Shen Yue sat up, shook her head, and then asked, "Is Feng Kexin with you in Minghe?"

"Mhm, he’s there with me now. If you ever come to Minghe... Oh, actually, you will need to come to Minghe, then you can always come over to my place to hang out with Kexin."

"That’s for sure, even if you don’t invite me, I must go and see what a real tycoon’s home is like."

"You’ll know once you visit."

The two paused briefly, then Shen Yue, looking slightly awkward, gazed into Song Xiaodong’s eyes and asked, "You and Sister Xiaoru..."

Song Xiaodong straightforwardly responded, "We’re together."

"Then congratulations to you. What about Miao Qingqing?"

"She’s also there, including Miao Xuanxuan and others. I have seven women now."

"What? You’re not bluffing, are you?" Shen Yue suddenly widened her eyes.

Song Xiaodong smilingly said, "What reason would I have to bluff you? In a while, you’ll be in Minghe, won’t you see for yourself?"

"I can only offer you a huge word of respect, managing seven women, aren’t you afraid of wearing yourself out?" Shen Yue’s mouth twitched, and there was a hint of desolation in her eyes.

"Little Yue, I have many women, but very few sisters," Song Xiaodong remarked.

Shen Yue narrowed her eyes slightly, then flashed a sweet smile, saying, "You make a good point. I’d better remain as a sister. I can’t handle competing for affection."

"Ha..." Song Xiaodong laughed and gently patted Shen Yue’s head. Shen Yue blushed and comfortably leaned on Song Xiaodong’s shoulder.
