Chapter 952
Evening.
Restaurant.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, all the connections worth making had been made. Dong Xuebin had met quite a few officials from Lü'an City, and he had also hinted to Hou Qing about the matter Old Yang had asked him to handle. He called over a waiter to settle the bill, only to learn that Deputy Mayor Zhou, who had left earlier, had already paid it. The man was a deputy mayor, far higher in rank than Dong Xuebin.

Geng Yuehua asked coldly, "What for?"
"I have something to discuss with you. It has to be said in person."
"What is it?"
"Ah, I'll tell you
