"That's perfect, I have some in my car!" Gu Yu's dad slapped his thigh and swiftly took out a bag of tiger skin peanuts he had put in the car that morning.
Thus, the four people in the car happily spent two hours stuck on the highway, eating peanuts and playing cards.
That evening, after accompanying Mayor Cheng to X City for an inspection, Gu Yu's dad received a call from the municipal party committee's office, saying they were considering him for the position of the mayor's secretary.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Yu's dad was in a daze for quite a while.
It was Gu Yu's mom who, full of curiosity, looked at her husband and asked, "What's wrong? Who was that on the phone? Why are you looking so stunned?"
"It was a call from the municipal party committee's office," Gu Yu's dad came back to his senses and mechanically told his wife, "They said they want me to be Mayor Cheng's secretary."
