Return of the King, Chapter 1231 - 1216: Building Good Relationships

Chapter 1231: Chapter 1216: Building Good Relationships

It’s just that...

Song Yun glanced at the trunk of his car, realizing that since the person had to attend a eting, this dinner was definitely off the table.

"Oh, I forgot I was supposed to treat you to dinner tonight!"

Liu Ruoxi suddenly stopped and said, "Oh my, look at , I just had sothing co up and completely forgot about it."

"It’s nothing, we can do it next ti." Song Yun smiled and said, "It’s not like we can’t eat together another ti."

"That’s not okay."

Liu Ruoxi shook her head and said, "I’ve already bought everything. How can we just say next ti? How about this, co with

to the eting, how about it?"

"This..." Song Yun genuinely wanted to say, we’re not that close, am I really supposed to sit there while you big shots have your eting?"

Maybe Liu Ruoxi thought of this too, frowning slightly, she said, "Or...umm, why don’t you head to my place first, I’ll try to finish the eting early and co back soon."

"That’s not really appropriate."

Song Yun didn’t expect Liu Ruoxi to suddenly be so informal, actually letting soone like him, an outsider, stay at her house alone. Is my protagonist aura kicking in again? Is Liu Ruoxi also starting to have feelings for ?

But then, thinking about it, Song Yun realized it didn’t make sense. He and Liu Ruoxi really were just plain friends, at most a little collaboration. Sure, his protagonist aura is strong, but it couldn’t possibly be strong enough to make a mayor have feelings for him so easily, right?

Actually, what Song Yun didn’t know is why Liu Ruoxi was so at ease with him? The main reason is Liu Ruoxi planned to build a good relationship with Song Yun.

Why build a good relationship? It’s simple. Now Song Yun’s status is gradually rising. Even though the process may take so ti, with the backing of the two main figures in the province, Song Yun’s status isn’t sothing an ordinary person can compare to. And Liu Ruoxi, mingling within the Guangzhou system, naturally needs her own partners, or rather friends, and of course, Song Yun is the most ideal friend.

This is why Liu Ruoxi is so casual with Song Yun now. When a person becos formidable, there will always be people being informal with you. Song Yun hasn’t yet co to this realization. When he truly becos the East South King, he will find that many people he wasn’t familiar with suddenly appear out of nowhere. This one calls him Brother Song Yun, that one brother, and if he doesn’t respond, they’ll say he’s putting on airs. If he does, they might just climb up the pole and act like they’re very familiar with him.

"It’s fine." Liu Ruoxi shook her head and said, "It’s rare that I want to treat you. Don’t waste it like this. You go to my house first, and I’ll explain to the security at the gate. As for the key... I’ll have my secretary bring it to you. Alright, it’s settled. You drive

to the eting first."

With that, Liu Ruoxi went directly into the car.

What on earth is going on?

Song Yun helplessly got into the car and asked, "Where to?"

"To the police station."

Song Yun drove Liu Ruoxi straight to the police station and then said, "What if I go up with you and sit in the back listening in? Otherwise, if I just take your stuff and go to your place and soone happens to visit, I really won’t be able to explain it."

"Seems like I’m at a disadvantage there!" Liu Ruoxi said with a smile, "Since you plan to stay and listen, then stay. But, when I’m speaking, don’t interrupt."

"Okay!"

Song Yun nodded and said, "I’ll just play on my phone, or worst-case, take a nap."

"Deal."

Just as Song Yun’s car drove out, a few police cars moved ahead of him, and similarly, a few police cars followed behind, sirens blaring, essentially clearing the way for Song Yun.

"Sigh."

Watching ordinary citizens making way on the road, Song Yun lanted, "I always feel like you people should serve the public, not be treated like this, having roads cleared, sotis even blocked off. I don’t get you people, it’s putting the cart before the horse."

"It’s like this everywhere in the country," Liu Ruoxi said, "As an individual, you can’t change much; it has already beco a habit."

"Haha, that’s why so many people want to be officials. Once you’re in power, you’re not the one being chased off the road, but the one sitting in the car, chasing others away." Song Yun laughed and said.

"I’ll take that as sarcasm," Liu Ruoxi said.

"You could say that."

With the police escort, the journey was remarkably smooth, running red lights because up ahead, the road had already been blocked off.

Soon, the car reached below the police station’s building.

After parking the car, Director Wang from the police station had already eagerly stepped forward to open the car door for Song Yun, then quickly went to the passenger seat to open the door for Liu Ruoxi.

This made it easy to see who the director valued more between the two.

Though Liu Ruoxi was his superior, she was only one level above, while Song Yun’s current status? Not to ntion the Song Family, just Song Yun’s relationship with Zheng Yun was enough to outshine all sub-departnt level officials throughout Guangdong.

Liu Ruoxi didn’t seem to mind Director Wang’s actions. Without a word, she entered the police station’s building.

In a previously arranged office, Liu Ruoxi directly said to Director Wang, "Bring all the leaders over."

"I’ve told them to co!" Director Wang said.

"Alright!" Liu Ruoxi nodded and asked, "Where’s the child snatcher?"

"Detained, waiting for your orders."

"Interrogate imdiately. There’s likely an organization behind this. I’ll have soone from the departnt oversee this case. You handle it as you see fit!" Liu Ruoxi said coldly, her authoritative aura slightly shocking Song Yun standing nearby, a stark contrast to the Liu Ruoxi who had just bought groceries with him monts before.

Soon, the police station staff gathered, and Liu Ruoxi sat at the head of the conference room, facing a large group of deputy directors, instructors, and the like. Song Yun sat behind them, close to the corner.

When almost everyone had arrived, Liu Ruoxi composedly said, "The reason I’ve called everyone here today is that there are so matters I need to discuss with you all."

While Liu Ruoxi spoke over the eting, Song Yun sat playing on his phone, sending ssages to his ladies, and both of them coexisted peacefully.
