Chapter 999: Chapter 1025: Very Discerning

"What’s the rush? We’ll deal with him later." The situation was tense, and before Huo Yi was rescued, Ye Ranran didn’t want to create any problems with Song Ze.

"Alright, I’ll handle this matter. Don’t overthink." Ye Ranran checked the time and stood up.

Today, she needed to pick someone up at the airport.

The transfer order had been issued, and Chu Ji had arrived today; he had messaged her about it yesterday.

Though he hadn’t asked her to come specially, since she was free today, she decided to make the trip anyway.

Jun Mochan was good to the people around him, and couldn’t she, after all, afford to not fall behind?

Chu Ji, dragging his luggage out of the lobby, was followed by two assistants whom he had brought over from the other place, and who had been with him for several years.

As soon as he stepped outside, he saw Ye Ranran not far away, wearing a light gray coat, a white sweater underneath, suit pants, and a pair of high heels—elegant and capable.

Surprise appeared in Chu Ji’s eyes as he quickly walked over, "Why are you here?"

"Didn’t you message me because you wanted me to come?" Ye Ranran teased.

The smile on her face was especially genuine and brilliant, dazzling Chu Ji into a moment of distraction.

"Indeed, but I didn’t expect you to actually come." He had hoped she would come but didn’t dare to hope too much.

Chu Ji’s feelings for Ye Ranran were complex; he viewed her both as a boss and as family because, apart from Ye Ranran, no one else would risk their life to rescue him.

He still didn’t understand why Ye Ranran had come at that time—just because he helped her with her work? But without Chu Ji, she could have wooed someone else.

However, this feeling of being valued was really nice.

"I was free today, so I came to see you. I’ll take you to the city’s family compound for officials today." Those at the level of mayor have their own designated courtyards.

It wasn’t far from the Jun family’s place, conveniently on the way, and having a car made it no big deal.

"Is that alright? He doesn’t mind?" Chu Ji asked hesitantly.

He remembered that Jun Mochan was very anxious about her, allowing her not to return home at night?

"He’s busy and not coming back, and since it’s your first time here, I thought I’d take you there to settle in—it’s no big deal." It’s not like we’re having an affair.

She just didn’t want him to feel uncomfortable arriving alone; as his boss, she felt it was necessary to show some concern, that was all.

"It’s just me overthinking," Chu Ji said with a smile curling upon his lips.

At high positions, warmth is rare, especially for high-ranking officials, where everywhere are hidden daggers and traps, and one misstep could lead to total devastation.

Such tangible warmth was exceedingly rare.

Chu Ji acknowledged that Jun Mochan had good taste.

In marrying such a woman.

With Chu Ji added, car number four could only sit in front, while car number three and Chu Ji joined Ye Ranran in the back.

In City B, naturally not comparable to A City, looking at the bustling streets outside, the colorful neon lights, the skyscrapers reaching into the clouds, the ubiquitous overpasses, the ceaseless flow of traffic.

A surge of bold ambition filled Chu Ji’s chest, as if his once dreams were about to be realized.

"You’re in charge of this city now. If you’re free tomorrow, take a look around, then meet up with Ah Xian." Ye Ranran wrote down Zhou Xian’s phone number for Chu Ji.

"He’s our man. You can talk to him if you need to, avoid contacting others; I don’t need to tell you the rest." Having been in the official circles for so many years, one ought to have the necessary shrewdness.
