No matter how one heard it, the statement seemed entirely unreasonable.
He even suspected that Wang Dahai was simply toying with him.
Yet, Wang Dahai's tone did not suggest that.
As if guessing what Secretary Chen was thinking, Wang Dahai said, "I know Secretary Chen doesn't believe this, but it is indeed true."
"I don't understand why Mayor Su would ask me, a mere driver, for my opinion."
"In fact, when Mayor Su asked me, I was stunned, and it seemed unbelievable."
"But the fact is, it really happened."
"Of course, although Mayor Su did ask for my opinion, and I recommended Secretary Chen to her, whether or not Secretary Chen can be elected as Deputy Mayor at tomorrow's committee meeting remains an unknown."
Secretary Chen said, "I appreciate your thoughtfulness."
He didn't say that whether he was appointed or not, he would owe him a favor.
The purpose of Wang Dahai's phone call was very clear – to make him owe Dahai a favor.
But how could one be sure of such matters?
