320: Chapter 320 Office of the Town Managent 320: Chapter 320 Office of the Town Managent The town wasn’t large, and it didn’t take long for Chen Yang to bring Wu Kexin to the mayor’s office.
The buildings here were rather old and shabby, much more so than the houses of ordinary folks around them.
Old as it was, the imposing air of the office was still palpable.
“Is this the place?”
Arriving at the entrance of the office, Chen Yang turned his head to look at Wu Kexin.
Wu Kexin lifted her gaze to the office building outside the window, nodded, and said, “That’s right, this is it.”
“Okay, then I’ll find a place to park.”
Chen Yang was driving a van now, not a tricycle.
Parking required finding an appropriate spot; he couldn’t just stop anywhere on the roadside like a tricycle, lock up, and be done with it.
Chen Yang hit the gas pedal and drove past the entrance to the office.
Then, not far away, he found a suitable parking space and parked the vehicle.
“Mayor, just how important is this person from the Gu Family?
It’s not like their head honcho has co, right?”
Chen Yang jumped out of the car, laughing as he spoke.
Wu Kexin, hearing this, couldn’t help but chuckle as well.
“You’re overthinking it.
The head of the Gu Family surely has their hands full, stationed in the provincial city.
How would they co to a small town like this?”
“That makes sense, but I’m really curious about who this important person from the Gu Family is.”
Chen Yang walked around the front of the car to join Wu Kexin.
“Why don’t we go and find out?”
Wu Kexin, carrying her bag, stood beside Chen Yang, looking very demure.
“Let’s go.”
Chen Yang glanced at Wu Kexin’s figure, then they both made their way toward the office building.
Although the town’s administrative office was sowhat rudintary, it had all the essentials.
Everything that should be there was there.
Approaching the entrance, an old man in his seventies or eighties was ready to register Chen Yang and Wu Kexin.
Chen Yang and Wu Kexin cooperated with the registration.
“All done, the registration is complete.
You can go in now.”
After taking down their information, the old man gestured for them to enter without even lifting his head.
The two exchanged smiles and then walked inside.
Even though this administrative office was the primary authority over Liuhé Village, it was Chen Yang’s first ti visiting the office complex.
As he entered, it was natural for Chen Yang to look around, aiming to familiarize himself with the various offices in the complex for future convenience.
Chen Yang followed Wu Kexin, looking around as he went.
Just as they were walking along the road inside the yard, they suddenly heard the roaring of car engines behind them.
Chen Yang and Wu Kexin both turned their heads to look and saw a convoy of five or six luxury cars entering the office complex in succession.
The old man at the door was registering each one.
In this town office, it wasn’t usual for very important figures or nobility to visit.
Now that they had arrived, Chen Yang knew that the people sitting in the convoy must be from the Gu Family.
“Quite the display.
Must be nice to have money,” he muttered quietly to himself.
Wu Kexin, who was by his side, overheard him.
She looked at Chen Yang with a profound expression and then said with a smile, “What’s so great about that?
In no ti, you can do the sa, and even more ostentatiously than them!”
Chen Yang’s face had been expressionless, but on hearing this, he couldn’t help but smile.
“I’ll take your word for it.”
Having said that, Chen Yang shifted his gaze away from the convoy and continued to walk forward, no longer paying it any attention.
Wu Kexin did likewise.
They headed toward the eting room in the heart of the town.
The convoy’s roaring was quite loud, attracting everyone from the many offices at the workplace.
They ca out to observe the situation with the convoy.
There were also so office staff who went up to et the convoy, looking as though soone had arranged this beforehand.
But this had nothing to do with Chen Yang, who just glanced at it, then casually followed Wu Kexin up to the second floor of the biggest building at the workplace.
And they arrived at the entrance of a large room.
The door was closed, with the words “eting Room” written on it.
Upon reaching there, Wu Kexin raised her arm and looked at her watch.
“We are just a few minutes away from two o’clock; the mayor should be arriving soon,”
Wu Kexin said.
“Mhm, let’s just stand and wait a bit then,”
Chen Yang nodded, and the two of them stood at the doorstep waiting.
About three or four minutes later, a group of more than ten people appeared from the stairwell.
The leader was a middle-aged man with a smiling face, making small talk with the ten or so people behind him.
The more than ten people following the middle-aged man were all dressed brightly and elegantly, exuding an extraordinary aura.
An aura that was vastly different from that of the rural folk.
Among these ten-plus individuals, leading them was a very beautiful high-class lady who was warmly chatting with the middle-aged man at the front.
She ca across as very approachable.
Chen Yang’s gaze lingered on the lady of high society and the middle-aged man for a few monts before sweeping over to the others behind them.
Following the lady were several n dressed like bodyguards, and the others who were dressed differently consisted of two n and one woman.
The woman was about the sa age as Wu Kexin and was very attractive, though she had the look of a an character from a TV drama.
One of the n, Chen Yang recognized; it was Gu Ming, who had been causing trouble for Chen Yang in recent tis.
The other was a man in his thirties, who had a fierce look and moved with the gait of soone well-practiced in martial arts.
“Mayor,”
As the group approached, Wu Kexin imdiately greeted the middle-aged leader with a smile.
“Ah, Kexin, you’ve co quite early,”
The middle-aged man turned around and seed surprised to see Wu Kexin.
“Hehe, yes, Mayor,”
Wu Kexin replied with a sweet smile, then introduced Chen Yang, “Mayor, this is the village na of Liuhe, Chen Yang.”
Upon hearing this, the mayor shifted his gaze from Wu Kexin and looked toward Chen Yang.
“Oh…
so you are Chen Yang!
Truly a young man of achievent.
I heard from Kexin that you contributed a lot when Liuhe Village faced the disaster, and lately, you’ve been making a significant economic contribution to the village too!”
The mayor looked at Chen Yang with admiration and offered generous praise.
This took Chen Yang sowhat by surprise.
“Hehe, it’s just doing my part to help out in my own village; there’s nothing much worth talking about,”
Chen Yang replied modestly with a smile.
“Even though you say that, I still have to give you credit.
If our town had more capable young people like you, the town’s economy would definitely be revitalized,”
The mayor reached out his hand and warmly shook Chen Yang’s, and he didn’t stop with his words of comndation.
This made Chen Yang a bit embarrassed, but his expression didn’t change much; he could handle such a situation quite steadily.
“Hehe, Mayor, you flatter .
I rely did what I should do,”
Chen Yang continued to be humble, then after exchanging a few more pleasantries with the mayor, the mayor didn’t linger on the subject but instead introduced the leading lady from the Gu Family to Chen Yang.
“Chen Yang, this is the General Manager from the Gu Family Group sent from the provincial city.
Today, she will represent the Gu Family to discuss the matter regarding your contracted land with you,”
The mayor said in introduction.
“Nice to et you, Chen Yang.”
“Hello,”
Although he had issues with the people from the Gu Family, in such a setting, Chen Yang still responded warmly to her.
After shaking hands with the lady and exchanging a few brief words, the mayor opened the door to the eting room and invited everyone to enter.
