He was there only to act as the middleman after all.
Now that the matter had been settled, he had nothing more to do with it.
Of course, leaving at this time was part of his plan.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Mayor Xia hurriedly stood up and respectfully sent him off. Only Shi Yuting remained seated on the sofa without glancing at Ke Zhengfeng. Instead, he nonchalantly picked up the cup of tea he had poured and brought it to his lips, about to take a sip.
However, just as the tea was about to reach his mouth, his movements suddenly stopped.
He seemed to feel a pair of familiar eyes sweeping over him from the dark.
His dark eyes focused, and he silently glanced at the tea in his hand.
Seeing that he had brought the cup of tea to his mouth, the bodyguard who was leaving with Ke Zhengfeng smirked, then turned around and disappeared around the corner.
Shi Yuting put down the cup of tea and suddenly turned his head to look at the spot where Ke Zhengfeng had left, but the man had already disappeared.
Why did he feel that Shi Tiannan was here? But he had scanned the people who were here just now, and did not see Shi Tiannanâs figure.
Except for that bodyguard...
Suddenly, his eyes turned cold, and his gaze once again glanced at the spot where Ke Zhengfeng had left. His thin lips curled up slightly..
He put the cup back on the table.
âMayor Xia, what do you think?â He looked at the mayor with a faint smile on his face.
The mayor looked at him. âI think itâs very good. If I can really count on your company to make A City flourish and prosper, I would naturally be more than happy to do so.â
Hearing this, Shi Yuting chuckled and secretly glanced at the bureau chief sitting next to the mayor.
âIs that so? I had spent a lot of time and effort before this, but I still couldnât negotiate for this land successfully.â Although he didnât really spend a lot of time and effort, he only said this because he wanted to see how they would react. There was something heâd like to confirm. He wanted to put the bureau chief in a tight spot too.
As soon as he said this, Mayor Xia instantly frowned.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Had they discussed this previously? Why hadnât he heard of it before?
As he thought about it, he couldnât help but glance at the bureau chief beside him.
When he met his gaze, Bureau Chief Chen smiled unnaturally. âOh, it must have been my subordinateâs negligence. Iâve never seen this proposal properly before either.â
âIs that so?â
Shi Yuting turned his head and looked at Xiangyi.
Xiangyi looked momentarily at Shi Yuting before turning back to Bureau Chief Chen. âIâm afraid that is not true. Previously, I had handed the entire proposal to Bureau Chief Chen and watched him read it. In fact, he even increased the price by 8%.â
8%?!
Hearing Xiangyiâs words, the mayorâs face immediately darkened, and he turned to Bureau Chief Chen, glaring at him.
Having been exposed, Bureau Chief Chen started to get anxiously uneasy.
âWell, I-I didnât see the figures properly. I must have missed a â0â.â
âThere werenât any 0âs in the price I gave,â said Shi Yuting.
This time, Bureau Chief Chen was completely flustered.
The mayorâs face turned ashen.
8% was not a small amount. He was obviously just trying to fill his own pockets!
âGo write a letter of apology and hand it over!â Mayor Xia insisted sternly to Bureau Chief Chen.
Bureau Chief Chen had no choice but to nod his head.
âSorry for making a fool of myself,â said Mayor Xia to Shi Yuting.
Shi Yuting chuckled and was about to pick up the tea again because he was indeed a little thirsty.
However, he paused again when his hand touched the teacup.
