He Lingshi poured a cup of tea, lay down on the sofa, and lit a cigarette.
Looking at the tea on the table, Song Guanchao said, "Is this Mayor He's way of treating guests?"
Only then did He Lingshi look at him, examining him with his eyes, and turned to Lu Zhizhong: "Secretary Lu, who is this?"
"The secretary of Secretary Wu from Lingjiang, Song Guanchao."
He Lingshi was surprised. He had heard of this person's reputation, but it was the first time they met.
"So it's Secretary Song," He Lingshi nodded but still showed no intention of making tea.
Song Guanchao chuckled lightly.
A glimpse reveals the whole picture.
From just this, one could tell that He Lingshi was a typical bureaucrat, skilled at judging people and acting accordingly.
And in He Lingshi's view, no matter how capable Song Guanchao was, a secretary was just a secretary.
No matter how weak Tongzhou City was, it was still a prefecture-level city.
He was the mayor; how could he possibly pour tea for a secretary?
