The Schoolgirl Secret Agent

not reject him of course, as the initiative from Mayor Gu saved her a lot of trouble.
She nodded.
“Sure.”

She then gave Zhang Zhifan a look, signaling him to follow her into the bidding hall.

Zhang Zhifan was in a stupor.
An insignificant civilian like him had never expected to receive an invitation from the mayor in his life – all this was thanks to Yun Jian!

When Yun Jian was about to step into the bidding hall with Mayor Gu, Zhang Tiejun’s unabashed voice rang.
“Hold on!”

He ran over and blocked the mayor’s way.
Although he did not understand why Mayor Gu knew Yun Jian and viewed her highly, it was not the time for such consideration.

“Ma – mayor Gu, nice to meet you.
I’m Xiao Jian’s uncle.
You can call me Xiao Zhang,” Zhang Tiejun said, making use of his relationship with Yun Jian, and continued to say, “Um, this is the case.
I’ve been working with my friend recently and we’re applying for the permit of a…”

Zhang Tiejun was utilizing Yun Jian to speak to Mayor Gu in order to resolve his plight.
Before he could finish his words, Yun Jian cut him off.

She looked at Mayor Gu and helped to introduce Zhang Tiejun with a small smile.
“He’s indeed the husband to my mom’s elder sister.”

The detachment of their relationship was clear in her words.

One reply was all it took to seal Zhang Tiejun’s fate.

Mayor Gu obviously understood Yun Jian’s implicit meaning.
If they were relatives, how close could they be when she would not even call him “uncle”?

Mayor Gu flung his hand away at once.
Since Zhang Tiejun was not someone Yun Jian cared for, he had no qualms about not making the acquaintance.

“Mm, we’ll talk next time.
I have urgent matters to discuss with the girl!” Mayor Gu waved at Zhang Tiejun in dismissal before entering the hall with Yun Jian, leaving Zhang Tiejun who wore a long face.

He was doomed…

He resented himself, for not being able to discern earlier that his niece actually knew a public figure like Mayor Gu!
