Chapter 314 Passing the Civil Service Exam (Cheng Yubai)

Outside the city government building, Shen Zhaoyi was no less surprised than when she saw Cheng Yubai at the airport.

What does this person want after going through all that trouble to bring me here?
An outrageous thought flashed through my mind.

"Haven't seen you for a few days, did you pass the civil service exam?"

"Your imagination is as rich as ever, but no matter how much I jump, I can't get into this place." Cheng Yubai was impressed by her thought process and led the people inside.

Originally, the award was to recognize the experimental project team, but it was ultimately changed to Shen Zhaoyi, the investor. Since she was difficult to meet, a compromise was reached, and the relevant person in charge presented the award directly in the office.

The director in charge of the liaison had received Cheng Yubai's message well in advance and was waiting in the office.

The reason was simple: I wanted to see who this generous female boss really was.

When the door was knocked open, the director was amazed by Shen Zhaoyi's face, yet had no recollection of it at all.

"Oh, this must be Miss Shen." He suppressed his doubts and greeted her politely.

Cheng Yubai acted as a middleman, introducing the two parties: "Zhaoyi, this is Qin Huai, Director Qin, who is in charge of project support."

Turning her head, she began to introduce today's main character.

"This is Ms. Shen Zhaoyi, the sole investor in our experimental project."

He emphasized the word "only" in his pronunciation.

The two shook hands politely and then sat down on the sofa.

Qin Huai was both curious and enthusiastic about Shen Zhaoyi.

After all, I was instructed from above to get to know Ms. Shen no matter what, so that she might be able to support any other government projects in the future.

No matter how well Shen Zhaoyi planned, she was still cunning.

She evaded Qin Huai's probing questions with reserved words until the final conversation turned to the development of S City.

"Miss Shen really has a keen eye, and she is both bold and meticulous. She immediately recognized the potential of this project."

"Just lucky," Shen Zhaoyi lied without blushing.

It wasn't luck; it was purely because they saw that investing would yield a large return.

If it weren't for Cheng Yubai's role, I wouldn't have entered this field.

Qin Huai then began to reveal his true purpose, his tone carrying an official encouragement:
“What we need right now are young people with the ability and willingness to invest in the future. Ms. Shen has really set a good example.”

"I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation on other projects in the future."

Shen Zhaoyi nodded with a smile on her face, but in her heart she was already thinking about when she could escape from this place.

She really didn't want to listen to people talking in official jargon.

Cheng Yubai guessed that her patience was almost exhausted, so he seized the opportunity to bring up the main purpose of his visit today.

Upon hearing this, Qin Huai quickly slapped his forehead and laughed self-deprecatingly.

"It was my oversight; once we got into the conversation, I completely forgot about the important matter!"

As he spoke, he got up, went to his desk and took a box, inside which was the commendation certificate that had just been stamped yesterday.

Shen Zhaoyi took it, opened it, and glanced at it.

You know what, government-made products are just different.

The texture, the weight!
The display case in my home is about to welcome a VIP guest.

After exchanging contact information with Qin Huai, Cheng Yubai said as they left the government building, "Although the department where Director Qin works doesn't seem to have much power, he is a very good person. He is tactful, has a wide network of connections, and can definitely get things done if you can't get things done through the official channels."

Shen Zhaoyi glanced at him sideways, keenly catching the deeper meaning in his words.

"Did you specifically introduce him to me?"

Cheng Yubai smiled noncommittally, not admitting it directly, but his eyes said it all.

Because of frequent searches, his Douyin (TikTok) profile often automatically recommends news about Shen Zhaoyi. He already knew about Pei Yan's affair the day after it broke.

Seeing that this person still has the mind to go out and have fun, they must have already thought of a plan, or they simply don't care.

I'll just consider it an unnecessary effort, but befriending Qin Huai is definitely not a bad thing; there will always be times when I can be of help.

Although Shen Zhaoyi didn't guess the real intention behind his paving the way, she could temporarily put aside what had just happened, given the newly awarded symbol of honor in her hand.

Can--

"It's just a government office visit; Old Wang knows the way."

"Do you really have to be this driver?"

“I’m your personal driver.” Cheng Yubai didn’t think there was anything wrong with this identity and stepped forward to open the car door for her very naturally. “Besides, we have things to do next, and it’s inconvenient to bring Lao Wang along.”

"what's up?"

Shen Zhaoyi truly couldn't tell which of this person's words were a joke and which were serious.

After a few days apart, the once serious and rigid Cheng Yubai seemed to have been possessed.

But it also became much more interesting.

After getting in the car, we still didn't use navigation. The car drove straight to our next destination after leaving the parking lot.

On the way, Shen Zhaoyi received a message from Xu Meng on her phone, asking how things were going.

Although she knew nothing bad would happen, Cheng Yubai's expression that day was too strange. She was always worried that if he was pushed to the limit, he might do something else.

[Zhaoyi, how about you send your location so Lao Wang can drive over and pick you up?]

[No need for all that trouble, he's not going to eat me, is he?]

Upon seeing this sentence, Xu Meng's heart skipped a beat.

Believe it or not, Cheng Yubai really did have this idea in mind.

Especially after discovering that Mumu, a newcomer, had surpassed them.

The car drove westward, and the buildings along the way were unfamiliar. Shen Zhaoyi had no idea where they were going next.

Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Cheng Yubai's profile. Despite spending all his time in the lab, he didn't seem listless at all; in fact, he seemed more energetic than before.

Weird.

Don't be using your own money to take advantage of others every day.

Otherwise, how do you explain having time to do a bunch of completely unrelated things during work hours?

If you stare for too long, the other person will notice your gaze.

Cheng Yubai didn't turn around, but instead curled the corners of his lips into a teasing smile: "Why have you been spying on me?"

"Why have you become even more narcissistic after just a few days?"

Shen Zhaoyi didn't stand on ceremony with him. In any case, every time the two met, they never let the other get the upper hand verbally.

If you have doubts, you should naturally ask them.

Otherwise, it would truly confirm Cheng Yubai's claim of "peeping".

"I'm just curious, doesn't Director Zhao have any objections to you running around so often?"

"will not."

Driver Cheng skillfully cut in and successfully switched to the right-turn lane.

After dealing with the car situation, he continued answering Shen Zhaoyi's questions.

"Although I am the main person in charge, Director Zhao is still in charge of the specifics."

"Besides, he's the one who sent me to find you."
