Xiang Yu chatted with Sun Bo for a while, then suddenly thought of something and said, "Since I’ve got nothing to do recently, how about I be your secretary?"

Sun Bo: "..."

"What, you don’t want me to?"

Seeing Sun Bo’s face full of awkwardness, Xiang Yu pursued the question.

"It’s not that, Brother Yu. Let me be your secretary instead." Sun Bo said with a bitter smile.

Xiang Yu chuckled and said, "I’m currently on a mission, something like a spy, and I’m sure someone is watching me. Our company is growing rapidly, and you’ll definitely have access to many high-level figures. I also need to seem like I’m gathering intelligence."

Sun Bo’s expression turned serious, and he nodded, "I understand, Brother Yu."

He didn’t know exactly what Xiang Yu was up to, but since Xiang Yu had decided, he could only comply.

"Then where are we going now?" Sun Bo asked.

"You’re the boss, I’m just the secretary. You decide where we go." Xiang Yu said with a smile.

Sun Bo felt a bit awkward and then said, "There are some issues in the South, let’s head there first."

Xiang Yu immediately stood up to grab Sun Bo’s water cup and made a gesture inviting him to proceed.

Sun Bo smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother Yu, you’re really overdoing it."

"Since I’m your secretary now, I must do a serious job." Xiang Yu said.

Sun Bo smiled wryly but said nothing, then strode out.

They were currently investing and developing in the South, and many matters required Sun Bo’s personal attention.

Outside, a car was already waiting.

Xiang Yu, holding Sun Bo’s water cup and briefcase, sat in the passenger seat. The driver gave Xiang Yu a suspicious glance.

"Drive." Sun Bo said from the back.

Sitting in the car, Xiang Yu couldn’t help but take another look around; this luxury car was indeed comfortable.

"Yu..." Sun Bo was about to speak when he suddenly thought of something and quickly said, "You don’t often ride in cars like this, do you?"

Xiang Yu quickly nodded, "That’s right, Mr. Sun, this car is really comfortable."

Sun Bo knew that Xiang Yu’s identity had to be kept secret, even from his driver, which made him feel odd inside, and he ended up saying nothing and just sat there.

At the airport, they directly boarded a plane to the South, with Xiang Yu continuing to play the role of secretary throughout the journey.

On the plane, Sun Bo chuckled, turned to Xiang Yu, and said, "Brother, are you hungry?"

"Mr. Sun, I’m not hungry. If you are, please help yourself." Xiang Yu replied earnestly.

Seeing Xiang Yu already getting into character, Sun Bo quickly nodded and leaned back.

When they arrived in the South, it was already 2 PM. As soon as they got to the airport, a crowd hurried over, with some media behind them snapping photos.

"Mr. Sun, where have you been? We waited for you all last night." a portly middle-aged man came over excitedly and shook hands with Sun Bo.

Sun Bo quickly stepped forward and said, "Hello, Secretary Li. There was an urgent matter last night, but now I’m back."

Sun Bo, holding Secretary Li’s hand, then turned to introduce Xiang Yu. But then he remembered Xiang Yu’s identity and said, "Let’s go, Secretary Li, let’s continue discussing the investment matters."

"Sure, please..." Secretary Li warmly responded.

Others around were busy attending to everything, while Xiang Yu, carrying the briefcase and water cup, played a small role, and no one paid him any mind.

The surrounding reporters kept taking pictures but did not come forward with questions.

They arrived at the provincial meeting room, where they took their respective seats. Since it was a discussion on important issues, most people consciously left the room.

Xiang Yu went to another office.

The office was spacious and bright, comfortable to sit in, certainly much better than casual coffee shop meetings.

Someone proactively approached Xiang Yu to network, even though they didn’t know him, since Xiang Yu was with Sun Bo, they figured he wasn’t simple.

Xiang Yu wasn’t familiar with business matters, so he casually chatted with other people.

Around 4 PM, Sun Bo exited the meeting room, having had a pleasant conversation.

Then everyone went to the internal dining hall; the provincial committee had its own dining facilities, and the food there was on par with that of top chefs.

Secretary Li sat in the primary host position, with Sun Bo next to him.

Although Sun Bo wasn’t a government official, his status allowed him to sit on par with Secretary Li, so their discussions were unhindered.

The surrounding dozen or so people were all side figures, earnestly listening to Sun Bo and Secretary Li talk, occasionally chuckling. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Xiang Yu wasn’t quite used to this environment; he sat alone quietly eating.

The dishes here really suited his taste.

Xiang Yu drank by himself and rotated the round table constantly.

Initially, no one noticed Xiang Yu, but gradually they realized a problem: many of the dishes had been significantly reduced, and some expensive ones were completely gone.

Everyone looked at Xiang Yu with embarrassment; Sun Bo also felt his face grow warm and gave Xiang Yu a signal.

Xiang Yu was eating heartily, and seeing everyone looking at him, he casually laughed and said, "Don’t just watch me, everyone please eat."

Even Secretary Li awkwardly laughed, "Seems I kept you all too long. You must be hungry, eat up."

The banquet concluded with Sun Bo happily shaking hands with Secretary Li, expressing strong interest in investing and indicating intentions to continue visiting.

Secretary Li warmly welcomed him and hoped Sun Bo would visit more often.

Everyone exchanged pleasantries and shook hands, while Xiang Yu had long been sitting in the car waiting, now acting as Sun Bo’s driver and secretary.

Finally, with a smile, Sun Bo got into the car, and as the door closed, his smile turned into weariness.

"Seems like your work isn’t easy either." Xiang Yu remarked.

Sun Bo smiled wryly, saying, "Brother Yu, maybe you shouldn’t be my secretary."

"Worried I embarrassed you?" Xiang Yu jokingly asked.

"A bit." Sun Bo honestly replied.

Xiang Yu laughed heartily, "That’s true feelings, all that other stuff is too fake."

Sun Bo didn’t know how to explain to Xiang Yu that the world is like this now: development requires a lot of socializing.

Xiang Yu asked while driving, "Does our company have any cooperation projects with the military?"

"Yes, we provide many of the military’s equipment." Sun Bo said without hiding anything.

"Arrange a meeting with the military people in the coming days, in a public place with journalists present." Xiang Yu said.

Sun Bo nodded, "I’ll arrange it in the next couple of days."

Xiang Yu nodded, then drove towards the airport...
