Zhao Weili seemed to be able to guess what she was thinking. “After knowing that I will stay in Yan State for 5 years, are you thinking about leaving this city after graduation?”

‘Eh? This fellow is too terrifying. How does he know what I’m thinking? No, no, I have to stay away from him.’

“Did you call me here just for the proposal?”

Zhao Weili’s deep eyes fell on Ji Ying’s face. “Could it be that you think I called you here because I have selfish motives?”

Ji Ying was a little rattled. She did not want to talk about what happened that day.

“Our professor said that the leader wanted to talk to us about the proposals, so he called us here. If it’s not about that, then I’ll take my leave!”

Zhao Weili smiled and slowly stood up.

The moment he stood up, Ji Ying was so frightened that she took a few steps back. Her face was filled with vigilance. However, the door was already closed behind her, and she had nowhere to go.

Zhao Weili chuckled, “What? do you think I’m going to eat you up? Didn’t you want to talk about the planning project? Your attitude right now is really heartbreaking!”

When Ji Ying heard this, she suddenly felt trapped! Could it be that he really did not have any other intentions and it was just a coincidence that he called her over to discuss business?

Now that she recalled the whole thing, she could not believe it no matter what. She was just an ordinary student. How could the higher-ups be interested in her proposal? If the leader was not Zhao Weili, she would have been overjoyed. It was an affirmation of her own abilities. However, she could not believe Zhao Weili’s words.

“What do you mean by that?”

Ji Ying looked nervously at the approaching Zhao Weili. At the same time, a faint tobacco smell invaded her nose. She had never thought that an accidental indulgence would embarrass her so much and result in her completely losing her calm and peaceful life.

All she wanted to do now was to get as far away from Zhao Weili as possible. She did not want to have anything to do with him anymore, and she wanted her life to return to what it was before. How could she face the person she had slept with every day and live a peaceful life as if nothing had happened? If she had not forgotten that he was the mayor, she would not have stepped into this place today.

Zhao Weili observed the changes in Ji Ying’s expression, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. He did not say anything and just looked at her.

Ji Ying’s gaze was a little scattered, and she could not even meet his eyes. For a moment, all kinds of thoughts rose in her mind, and in the end, only one thought was left.

She mustered up the courage to look up and said, “What do you want? just say it!”

The atmosphere in the room instantly became tense.

“What were you thinking? I asked you to come because I’m really interested in your project.”

Zhao Weili said calmly, a faint smile on his lips. Coupled with his handsome appearance, he looked intoxicating.

Even Ji Ying could not help but swallow her saliva, becoming even more nervous.

She hurriedly lowered her head to avoid his gaze, but she still felt that the other party’s eyes were omnipresent.

After a while, she mustered up her courage and retorted, “I’m just an ordinary student with an ordinary proposal. No matter how you look at it, it’s not worth the mayor’s attention, much less an audience with him!”

This had always been a question in her heart. It just did not make sense!

“So, you don’t have any confidence in yourself?”

Ji Ying took a deep breath and raised her head to meet Zhao Weili’s eyes. “Do you really only care about our proposals?”

“Ha! If you want to talk about private matters, it’s not impossible, but it’s best to talk about it after work. It’s working hours now, even if I’m the mayor, I have to do my duties!” Zhao Weili’s tone was solemn. “Of course, I don’t mind talking to you about being my woman after work!”

Ji Ying’s heart skipped a beat, and her heart instantly rose to her throat. Her eyes flickered, and she pursed her cherry lips. Her hands clenched uneasily.

‘This guy said that he wanted to talk to me about the project, but he’s actually abusing his power!’

Things had developed too suddenly, and she was at a loss for what to do.

She gritted her teeth and said, “Alright!” Let’s talk about the proposal!”

Zhao Weili nodded and said, “Come and sit down. I’m very interested in your idea of a theme park. The issue regarding the ecosystem in the proposal is also worth taking a look at!”

‘This guy actually went through the proposal very carefully!”

Ji Ying’s mood relaxed slightly. In the end, she took a deep breath and walked over.
