Liu Lanzi was a very smart woman.
She knew what Wu Qiangwei, who had just taken office, needed most.
She had to stimulate the economy quickly, needed to increase employment rates, needed a beautiful political achievement!
She could fulfill all of these.
What she needed in return was to build a mutually trusting relationship with Wu Qiangwei.
This indirectly revealed that New City Company didn't seem to have very good connections within the government.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be thinking about connecting with Wu Qiangwei.
As for Secretary Sun...
Although they appeared to have a good relationship, Liu Lanzi, a mere woman, had grown her company to its current size; she was certainly not a fool.
She knew Secretary Sun was interested in her.
But she clearly was very repulsed by this.
That's why she was looking to make contact with her, seeking out another government connection.
What she wanted was a pure, healthy political and business relationship.
