Chapter 2061: Chapter 1935: Mr. Song and I Are Just Good Friends_2

"Oh dear, after hearing Boss Yang, I suddenly feel like I shouldn’t have come today!" Qiao Yutong glanced around the room and said to everyone.

"Hey—Deputy Director Qiao, didn’t you say yourself that you are here accompanying Mr. Song, who is the representative of Minghe Company." Li Fanglan said to Qiao Yutong.

"Alright then, today there is no Deputy Director Qiao, only Mr. Song’s..." Qiao Yutong said halfway and didn’t know how to continue.

"What am I to Mr. Song? Wife? Girlfriend? Friend?" thought Qiao Yutong.

"Friend." Qiao Yutong paused and finished her sentence.

"Director Qiao, Mr. Song, why are you young people so secretive? Unlike us middle-aged folks who are more straightforward. Girlfriend is girlfriend, why say friends?" Li Fanglan glanced at Song Xiaodong and Qiao Yutong and said.

"Exactly, you two were so close just now, everyone saw it. So how come you’re just friends now." Yang Chao also remarked.

"You’ve misunderstood. Mr. Song and I are just good friends." Qiao Yutong calmly explained to everyone.

Chapter 1936: I Need to Go Back and Check

"How good is that?"

"Good friends? Don’t try to fool us."

"Come on, Director Qiao might just be shy."

"Alright, since Director Qiao has explained, let’s not ask anymore and make Director Qiao embarrassed." Wang Hongfei said, feeling suddenly better after hearing Qiao Yutong explain.

Everyone immediately stopped gossiping.

"Okay, okay, the food is all served, how about a toast everyone!" Yang Chao suggested, and everyone joined in for a toast.

This time, Director Qiao drank.

Song Xiaodong also drank.

"Let’s invite the highest-ranking leader present, Director Qiao, to say a few words." Yang Chao invited Qiao Yutong to speak.

Qiao Yutong waved her hand but was eventually called to stand up by Yang Chao.

Qiao Yutong lifted a glass of wine and said to everyone, "Deputy Mayor Han, and his former superior, both want to transform the shantytown in Beishan District into a development area. Deputy Mayor Han is completing the job his former superior couldn’t finish. Deputy Mayor Han has worked tirelessly for the construction of this development area. Everybody has seen this. As a deputy director, my contribution to economic development is indeed limited, but if anyone has any issues that I can help with, feel free to come to me. I will certainly maintain a good social security environment for your development area and ensure the production goes smoothly!"

"Great!"

"With Deputy Director Qiao’s words, we can rest assured!"

"Yes, we also heard before coming that the economic development area in Beishan District has poor security and rampant theft. A few days ago, I specifically went to the development area to inspect and found the security environment surprisingly good, completely different from what people said!"

"Yes, this must be credited to Deputy Director Qiao!"

"Thanks for Deputy Director Qiao’s hard work!"

Song Xiaodong chuckled silently on the side, thinking that Director Qiao was reaping the benefits while he did all the dirty and tiring work.

And then it was drinking and socializing. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Finding the right opportunity, Wang Hongfei approached Qiao Yutong again.

"Director Qiao, I didn’t expect you to come today, I am really happy to see Deputy Director Qiao again! Come, since Director Qiao drank today, can’t you honor me with a drink too?" Wang Hongfei said to Qiao Yutong.

"Alright, alright." Qiao Yutong was overwhelmed by Wang Hongfei’s enthusiasm and had no choice but to pour a glass of wine.

"Come, cheers!" They both drank it all in one go.

"Director Qiao has great drinking capacity!" Wang Hongfei said gleefully, leering at Qiao Yutong.

"No, no, I don’t hold my alcohol well, it’s famous in our police station!" Qiao Yutong replied.

"No problem, no problem, if you get drunk, I’ll send Director Qiao home!" Wang Hongfei said.

"No need to trouble Boss Wang, Director Qiao came with me, I’ll send Director Qiao back home." Song Xiaodong listened and coldly said to Wang Hongfei.

"Mr. Song, I know you are good friends with Director Qiao, but, still, you should ask Director Qiao’s opinion. She came with Mr. Song, can’t she leave with me? Isn’t Mr. Song being too greedy?" Wang Hongfei said to Song Xiaodong.

"Boss Wang, Director Qiao accompanied me here, naturally she should accompany me back. You keep pressing Director Qiao to drink, are you trying to get her drunk? Does Boss Wang have any ulterior motives?" Song Xiaodong said to Wang Hongfei.

"What are you implying? What motives could I have? I feel an instant connection with Director Qiao, what’s wrong with having a couple more drinks? Even if you’re Director Qiao’s good friend, you are meddling too much!" Wang Hongfei said, his expression turning dark, and his tone grew stronger.

"Hey, hey, Mr. Song, Mr. Wang, how about listening to Director Qiao’s opinion? Director Qiao is so beautiful, naturally, every man she meets will like her. If you both like Director Qiao, have a fair competition privately, don’t spoil the mood at the dining table!" Yang Chao quickly stood up to mediate.

"Exactly, you should listen to Director Qiao’s own opinion too." Li Fanglan said to Song Xiaodong, Wang Hongfei, and Qiao Yutong.

Qiao Yutong did not speak.

At this moment, Song Xiaodong’s phone rang, it was from Sun Yiyi, and Song Xiaodong naturally answered, "Hello? Honey? What’s up?"

"Xiaodong, has Su’er really been dismissed?" Sun Yiyi asked Song Xiaodong.

"Yes, she even said she won’t work in the medical field anymore." Song Xiaodong answered.

"You believe her? Su’er now locked herself in the room, we don’t know what she is doing, I’ve been knocking on the door for half an hour, and she hasn’t come out, what are you doing outside? Hurry back!" Sun Yiyi said to Song Xiaodong.
