“Mayor Qin, long time no see!” Mu Tongzi politely extended a hand to shake with the mayor. His demeanor was that of a refined and humble young master from a prestigious family, showing neither flattery nor disrespect. There was a calmness and ease about him that transcended power; if one did not know their identities, they might think Mu Tongzi was the one mingling in official circles.
“Mu Zong, long time no see!” Qin Feili smiled politely and turned to look at Gu Lvq Qi, who was standing beside him, a fleeting look of surprise crossing his dark eyes.
Mu Tongzi turned slightly and introduced the woman next to him with a gentle smile, “This is Miss Gu Lvqie, our company’s Design Director.” He then turned to Qin Feili, “This is our city’s Mayor Qin!”
“Hello, Mayor Qin!” Gu Lvq Qi said politely, extending her hand for a handshake.
After some simple pleasantries among the three, they finally took their seats.
At this moment, the owner of Taibai Pavilion knocked and entered, shaking Mayor Qin’s hand with a courteous smile. “It’s truly an honor for us to have you at Taibai Pavilion! If there’s anything we’re lacking in our work, please do let us know!”
“Lu Boss, you are too modest. Taibai Pavilion is a century-old establishment in our city and can be considered the pioneer of our local culinary culture. You have not only preserved traditional cuisine but also innovated while maintaining quality. This is something worth learning from for others in the industry!”
“The mayor overestimates us. In the food industry, food safety is paramount, especially for an old establishment like ours. We cannot let our reputation suffer; we have always prioritized providing safe food for our customers, so please rest assured!”
“Hmm, I believe you!”
As it was a private banquet, the menu had been set in advance. Shortly after they sat down, the chef brought out several dishes one after another with the waitstaff.
Knowing they might have serious matters to discuss, the owner of Taibai Pavilion raised a glass to both the mayor and Mu Tongzi before leaving.
Since it was a private gathering rather than a formal banquet, the atmosphere during the meal was much more relaxed and casual than usual.
Two men were discussing the economic policies and development trends of City A while having a meal. Mu Tongzi occasionally shared his views on the economy of City A, speaking with humility and even offering several suggestions for economic reforms to the mayor, who nodded in agreement.
Their conversation had the tone of long-time friends, devoid of insincerity, and there was an unspoken harmony between them.
In City A, the relationship between officials and businesses is inseparable. They mutually support each other; the city's economic development relies heavily on large enterprises like Mu Group, while the group's growth is also supported by the policies of the Municipal Government of A City.
As this relationship developed, it naturally became one of mutual benefit.
Green Qi did not understand their discussion topics and could only lower her head to deal with her food. Having eaten too much for breakfast, she wasn't very hungry now. To avoid feeling too awkward, she occasionally looked up, pretending to listen attentively.
During this time, Mu Tongzi continued to talk with the mayor while occasionally serving her food. As soon as she finished some, he would immediately add more, specifically choosing dishes that she liked.
This method of feeding made her lower her head even more because every time she looked up, she would catch Mayor Qin's surprised gaze—his incredulous eyes filled with curiosity made her feel exposed.
