When Jiang Xiaobai arrived at the café, Gu Xi was already there. She was sitting by the window, having already ordered coffee, stirring the small spoon in her hand out of boredom.
"Sorry, I'm late."
Jiang Xiaobai sat down.
Gu Xi said, "No worries, I just got here myself."
"Why are you so busy these days?"
Ever since he returned, Jiang Xiaobai had tried to meet up with Gu Xi a few times, but she never had time.
Gu Xi replied, "I'm running a county now, how could I not be busy?"
Jiang Xiaobai looked at her in surprise, "So you're a county magistrate now?"
Gu Xi said, "What's wrong with that?"
Jiang Xiaobai said, "You're so young and already a county magistrate, how can I not be surprised? Many people work hard for two generations and only become a section chief."
Gu Xi laughed and said, "My whole family is in politics, it's my destined path."
