"Alright!" Nodding, Qin Feili put away the chess pieces and stood up. "Let's call it a day. You all go about your business; I should head back!"
"Okay!" Following suit, Mu Tongzi stood up and led Gu Lvq Qi out of the private room behind Qin Feili.
From beginning to end, Green Qi had not heard the two mention anything about the Meihai Resort land, which left her somewhat puzzled.
Turning to glance at the man who remained calm as water, she noticed he showed no signs of anxiety, which eased her worries.
Upon exiting Taibai Pavilion, the mayor's driver was already waiting at the door beside the car. Qin Feili turned back to Mu Tongzi and said, "Alright, no need to see me off. I'm heading back. If you have time, come visit your aunt; she's been mentioning you a lot!"
"Yes, I will. I'll be back in a few days!" Nodding, Mu Tongzi replied softly, still elegant and polite.
After the black limousine disappeared around the corner, he finally turned to look at the woman who had been observing him intently. Meeting her inquiring gaze, he slightly curled his lips. "What's wrong?"
"Mu Shao, what is your relationship with Mayor Qin? You both seem quite familiar with each other, and he even mentioned your aunt. Could he be your uncle by marriage?!"
"Yes, it's exactly as you think; he is indeed my uncle by marriage." Mu Tongzi casually dropped this line and turned to open the car door for her. "Hurry up and get in."
"This... really? Then why were you both acting like strangers just now?" She frowned at him, realizing that their earlier politeness in front of others was merely a facade.
"What status does Mayor Qin hold, and what status do I hold? If we appear too familiar with each other, the Disciplinary Inspection might intervene. So it's necessary to maintain a proper appearance in public; this is a subtle practice in official circles. You're still young; you'll gradually understand these things."
Once they got into the car, he started the engine and drove away from Taibai Pavilion.
In the passenger seat, Green Qi couldn't contain his curiosity any longer. "When you were having dinner earlier, you and Mayor Qin talked so much, but how come you didn't mention anything about the Meihai Resort land?"
It seemed that both of them had an unspoken agreement not to bring it up. What was going on?
"There's nothing to discuss. The Meihai Resort land is being bid on by several companies based on their own merits. It's the right decision for the mayor not to intervene; otherwise, if someone with ulterior motives reports it to the Disciplinary Inspection, it would become a real problem."
"It's just a piece of land being bid on; how could it involve so many interests? It really is complicated!" Remembering what Mo Rushi had said, she increasingly felt that the competition for that land had become intense, with both the Jiang Family and the Mu Family involved. This situation probably wouldn't be simple.
Not only him, but also Jiang Group and her father's company had put in considerable effort for this piece of land.
She wasn't clear on what other interests were entangled among them, but it seemed that even though the bidding had just begun, there were already undercurrents beneath the calm surface. Regardless of who ultimately secured that land, there would likely be fierce business battles ahead.
Mu Tongzi was determined to acquire that land, but the Jiang Family wouldn't easily let go either. With such fierce competition between these two major enterprises, she wondered what the outcome would be.
"You think it's complicated already? It's not just the Mu Family and Jiang Family involved; now there's... an additional Xue Family!"
"What did you say?!" Upon hearing this, Green Qi suddenly looked up, his expression tense as he stared at him. "You mean the Xue Family?"
