“How did you know that there was such a thing between them?” Su Zhengxun asked in puzzlement.

Only then did Mu Tangchuan lean slightly against the back of the chair behind him and smile, “After I saw them appear together, I sent someone to investigate. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles. Coincidentally, Chief w.a.n.g’s female secretary applied for maternity leave. That woman had a past with Chief w.a.n.g in school. I was worried that I wouldn’t have a chance to catch him.”

“Hmph, now I’ve fulfilled your wish.”

Su Zhengxun’s low voice contained a hint of a smile.

“We’re going to the provincial office for a meeting at the beginning of the month. Don’t you have someone on your side? When the time comes, just make some arrangements and help cover your ears and eyes. You don’t have to worry about other things. Alright, we’ll talk about the rest when we meet. I’ll arrange for someone to invite Xie Jiajia over for you, don’t worry.”

Mu Tangchuan also said these last few words before hanging up.

The day’s work was naturally very busy. After hanging up the phone, Mu Tangchuan began to deal with government affairs. Once he got busy, another entire day would pa.s.s.

Similarly, Mu Tangchuan was not the only one who was busy.

Zhuang Shurong was also not at ease. Recently, she had a new boss. As the saying goes, a new broom sweeps clean. This boss of hers was no exception. Once she came over, she worked overtime. She flipped through many cases that had been piled up previously and familiarized herself with work. These days, she was also busy from morning to night.

It was not easy to look forward to the weekend. She could finally rest. Right now, she only wanted to go home and take a good bath before sleeping comfortably.

However, she did not expect to see a Jeep parked at the side from afar just as she walked out of the courthouse with her briefcase.

The person in the car seemed to have noticed her too, and quickly opened the door and got out of the car.

“Mu Tangchuan? Why is it you?”

Zhuang Shurong was naturally a little surprised.

Mu Tangchuan put his coat in the car and waved at her as he went forward.

“Why are you here?” Zhuang Shurong asked as she stopped in her tracks.

“Can’t I come?” Mu Tangchuan asked back.

“No, I’m just a little surprised by your appearance.”

Zhuang Shurong smiled faintly as she replied.

“Since that’s the case, then get in the car and I’ll treat you to a meal.”

Mu Tangchuan’s tone was filled with humility.

Zhuang Shurong tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying, “Then, what if I raise my dignity this time? Will you give me this opportunity?”

Mu Tangchuan raised his eyebrows. He did not expect this little girl to still be concerned about this matter?

He fixed his gaze on Zhuang Shurong, only to see that she had a serious expression on her face. Behind her, she smiled and said, “Since you’re so sincere, then I’ll thank Miss Zhuang for this meal first. As compensation, you won’t reject this concert, right, Miss Zhuang?”

As Mu Tangchuan spoke, he held two concert tickets between his slender fingers and handed them to Zhuang Shurong.

“What are these?”

Zhuang Shurong was a little curious and reached out to take them. When she saw them, her face lit up with surprise—

“Concert tickets! How did you get them? My friend queued for a long time but couldn’t get them!”

“I have my ways. Get in the car first, it’s getting late, we can go there after dinner.”

Mu Tangchuan said in a low voice as he opened the door of the pa.s.senger seat. He walked around and sat in the car.

Zhuang Shurong kept the tickets, then turned around and sat in the car.

However, before she could sit down in the car, she could smell a faint orchid fragrance. She subconsciously looked at the seat in front of her, only then did she realize that there was a bouquet of fresh and elegant magnolia flowers on the seat, decorated with some small flowers. It looked very beautiful.

“This…”

Zhuang Shurong was stunned.

“I bought it on the way. It’s for you.”

Mu Tangchuan picked up the bouquet and handed it to her. He reached out his long arm to take the briefcase in her hand and put it in the back seat.

“Thank you!”

Zhuang Shurong quickly reacted. She took the bouquet and sat down. She sniffed it and smiled. “Do you like orchids too?”

“It’s alright. I just think that it suits you.”

After she fastened her seatbelt, she started the car.

“I like its color and fragrance,” Zhuang Shurong said straightforwardly.

“It’s good that you like it. The owner of the flower shop said that if I didn’t know what someone liked, the orchid would be best. There’s nothing special about it, at least it has a pleasant fragrance.”

Mu Tangchuan rarely gave flowers to girls. His ex-girlfriend liked large red roses, so he always gave her roses. However, he himself did not necessarily like roses that were in full bloom, instead, this fresh and elegant white magnolia caught his eye.

“The owner of the flower shop must be experienced. I like it very much. Thank you.”

Zhuang Shurong smiled happily.

“Okay, then I’ll go to his place to buy flowers again next time,” Mu Tangchuan replied with the same sentence.

“You’ve been busy recently?”

He knew that she had been working overtime a lot recently.

“A new boss came in. He has stricter requirements, so he’s a little busy.”

Zhuang Shurong also said helplessly.

“Yeah, I went to the Discipline Inspection Commission before. I heard that the people who were transferred directly from the provincial department probably won’t be that easy to adapt to.”

Mu Tangchuan was relatively well-informed.

“It’s not too bad. Because I was used to being more casual in the past, there’s nothing wrong with having such a strict boss now. Being strict and serious in doing things has absolute benefits. It’s good as long as you get used to it. After this period of time, the rest of the work will be easier. You need to maintain your mental state.”

Zhuang Shurong shrugged her shoulders indifferently.

“Are you free tomorrow?”

Mu Tangchuan thought about it and asked.

“I plan to rest at home.”

“Let’s go hunting in the wilderness. The air in the suburbs is very good. You can also relax a little, hmm?”

Mu Tangchuan invited her sincerely.

“You’re in high spirits?” Zhuang Shurong said softly.

“As humans we have to know how to balance work and rest. If one is too tense, we’d break easily,” said Mu Tangchuan.

Hearing that, Zhuang Shurong smiled calmly. “Since you say so, if I don’t go, it’ll seem like I’m being too harsh on myself. Then let’s go.”

This time, Mu Tangchuan smiled cheerfully and turned to look at her. “Then tomorrow morning at eight o’clock, I’ll wait for you at the entrance of your residential area.”

“Okay,” Zhuang Shurong agreed.

Actually, she was a very straightforward person. Since she wanted to go, she would just agree to it. She knew Mu Tangchuan’s intentions, moreover she had promised her mother to get along well with Mu Tangchuan. Therefore, she should not be all pretentious now.

“Have you gone hunting before?”

There was a moment of silence in the car when Mu Tangchuan suddenly asked.
