Chapter 2217: Chapter 2060: Do I Still Need to Teach You?

After listening, Song Xiaodong coldly said to the Deputy Director’s office secretary: "Sorry, I don’t have time."

"Uh..."

The female secretary was stunned, not knowing the background of this Mr. Song, because using "Mr." instead of an official title definitely means he’s not a superior, if not a superior, then he’s either a subordinate or a nobody.

Which nobody dares to be so presumptuous?

"Do you have anything else?" Song Xiaodong retorted to the Deputy Director’s office secretary.

The secretary was flustered, not knowing how to respond, because she didn’t know how to explain to the Deputy Director that even a nobody couldn’t be summoned.

However, the Deputy Director had not briefed the female secretary on the identity of the person they were inviting this time, so she didn’t know how to try harder. There was no other way, so she could only reply: "Alright, then that’s it, I’ll go notify the Deputy Director."

The secretary wanted to emphasize again the Deputy Director, hoping to make Mr. Song realize that it’s the Deputy Director of the provincial department inviting him, so he should reconsider.

But Song Xiaodong across did not appreciate it, and after saying "okay," he hung up the phone with a "click."

The female secretary sighed, hung up the phone, smoothed her hair, and walked into the Deputy Director’s office with her high heels "clicking" away.

Usually, the Deputy Director would definitely not have arrived at this time. But today, he came early and didn’t lazily enjoy a cup of tea as usual. Instead, after arriving, he immediately instructed the office secretary to call Song Xiaodong, and after that, he stood by the window, gazing outside in a daze, rather than sitting at his desk.

The office secretary gently called: "Deputy Director Zhou?"

The Deputy Director snapped back to reality and asked the office secretary: "How did it go?"

The office secretary whispered in response: "Deputy Director Zhou, it’s like this, I just called, and Mr. Song said he doesn’t have time."

The Deputy Director nodded, pinched his brow, and told the office secretary: "Got it, you may go."

Yet the office secretary did not move, glanced at the Deputy Director, and softly asked: "Deputy Director, who exactly is this person? Why are they so inconsiderate!"

The Deputy Director raised his head and said to the office secretary: "Don’t talk nonsense!"

"But it’s true. I nicely invited him, and he was particularly indifferent, most certainly impolite, telling me he doesn’t have time, then directly hanging up the phone." The office secretary said.

The Deputy Director sighed and waved his hand at the office secretary, saying: "Off you go, I will call you when there’s something."

"Okay." The office secretary then stepped out, closing the door, leaving the Deputy Director alone, sighing lamentably in the office.

After Song Xiaodong hung up, Song Xiaoru asked: "Who was that?"

"The Deputy Director." Song Xiaodong arrogantly glanced at Song Xiaoru and said.

"Which Deputy Director?" Song Xiaoru asked.

"Which other Deputy Director, the one who wants to catch me these nights." Song Xiaodong said.

"Why is he calling you again?" Miao Qingqing nervously asked Song Xiaodong.

Song Xiaodong looked at Miao Qingqing’s nervous expression and said: "It’s fine, he just wanted to invite me to his office."

"Is it some sort of Hongmen Banquet?" Miao Xuanxuan said from the side.

"What Hongmen Banquet, I have him by the tail, how dare he." Song Xiaodong said.

"What leverage do you have on him exactly?" Song Xiaoru asked.

"Sis, these matters really can’t be talked about." Song Xiaodong said looking at Song Xiaoru.

"Then why don’t you go just because he asked?" Miao Qingqing asked Song Xiaodong.

"I prefer to solve problems once and for all, going now wouldn’t highlight my importance." Song Xiaodong said.

"Such twisted logic."

The Deputy Director spent the entire morning pacing back and forth in his office, having the office secretary keep a close eye on all the Minghe newspapers.

The newspapers gradually reached their release time, but the headline did not feature the article Song Xiaodong displayed yesterday at the Su Family Courtyard.

In fact, the Deputy Director was quite sure that Song Xiaodong wouldn’t do something so foolish.

But if Song Xiaodong doesn’t do foolish things, then he’d do clever things, and Song Xiaodong doing clever things is even more unfavorable to him.

The Deputy Director had been pacing circles in his office for hours, his feet aching, finally stopping and resting on the sofa to catch his breath before calling his office secretary.

"Secretary Zhang?"

"Deputy Director Zhou?"

The office secretary gracefully walked over.

"Call Mr. Song, I will speak to him personally." The Deputy Director said to the office secretary.

"You’re calling personally?" The office secretary asked incredulously.

"Yes." The Deputy Director nodded.

"Who exactly is this Mr. Song? He’s just a company owner, what’s the big deal?" The office secretary asked the Deputy Director.

"Enough, stop asking, just make the call."

The office secretary then called Song Xiaodong, and handed the phone over to the Deputy Director once connected.

The Deputy Director waved his hand at the office secretary.

The office secretary then walked out, carefully closing the door.

Song Xiaodong picked up the phone as well, without speaking.

"Hello? Is this Mr. Song?" The Deputy Director respectfully addressed Song Xiaodong.

"It’s me." Song Xiaodong nodded and said, not intending to politely ask who was calling.

"Mr. Song, I am Deputy Director Zhou." The Deputy Director respectfully said to Song Xiaodong.

"Oh my, Deputy Director, you’re up so early, not sleeping at three in the morning, and now it’s just nine, you’re already at work? Such irregular hours are not good for your health." Song Xiaodong hinted with his words.
