After the leadership meeting, Zhou Yi returned to his office, took out his phone, and made a call.
"Mayor, do you have a moment? I'd like to brief you on my work."
Yes, Zhou Yi was calling the newly appointed mayor, Shan Wenxu. His choice of words showed all the respect due to a superior.
Shan Wenxu was somewhat surprised. They had only exchanged phone numbers that morning, and now the fellow was calling that afternoon to give him a work briefing. It seemed unusual, to say the least.
"Come over. I'll have my secretary meet you downstairs."
Despite his deep aversion to Zhou Yi, even hostility, he was no hotheaded youngster who would let romantic jealousy dictate his actions. Otherwise, he would never have exchanged contact information with him.
You could dislike Zhou Yi, but you could never underestimate him. Especially while they were still "allies," he had to be given the respect and courtesy he deserved.
Zhou Yi's thinking was exactly the same as Shan Wenxu's.
He didn't like Shan Wenxu either, but that didn't stop him from maintaining normal working relations with him. For a long time to come, he would need to draw on Shan Wenxu's power as mayor.
If he wanted to take on that White Bone Demon of a female Municipal Party Secretary, if he wanted to fight evil to the bitter end and restore justice for the people of Yangcheng, his position as Public Security Director alone wouldn't be enough. Success would only be possible with Mayor Shan's support.
Zhou Yi made another call on the internal line, asking command center chief Fu Zhigang to arrange a car.
When he went downstairs and saw the brand-new Audi A6 parked outside, he couldn't help smiling.
In Dongji County, Director Lei rode in a Santana.
