Chapter 88: Be a Good Girl and I’ll Reward You When We Get Back

Everyone looked over and saw an old lady being helped in from the outside.

Mu Hui’s mind went blank for a moment. She then shuddered.

Was this not the old lady that she had met in the old district the last time?

The mayor was also a little confused by the situation. He asked, “Who are you?”

The old lady took a document from the people next to her and announced it to the entire jury, “The old district in the city center has now been recognized as a historical and cultural district by the central government. It is not allowed to be demolished.”

She looked quite old, but her words were firm.

Mu Hui looked at her and her heart skipped a beat.

The old lady that she had saved so casually could not be some kind of big shot, right?

The rest of the people had the same opinion and were discussing enthusiastically.

“What kind of background does this old lady have? She just came in with a document. She’s definitely not a simple figure.”

“Could she be from the higher-ups? But she’s so old, it doesn’t seem like it.”

“No matter how old she is, can she be older than the mayor?”

“That might not be the case…”

The mayor was humiliated in front of everyone and was instantly embarrassed. He said in a deep voice, “Where did this impostor come from? Where’s security? Hurry up and take her away!”

The security guard received the order and immediately asked the old lady to leave.

Mu Hui suddenly stood up.

At that moment, another person walked in from outside the door.

“The mayor sure has a big temper.”

The person was in his forties. He had a straight face. The familiar yet oppressive face made everyone gasp.

“Isn’t that Minister Zheng from the Urban and Rural Planning Department? I’ve seen him on television!”

“It’s actually him? Why is he here?”

“Could it be that he invited this old lady?”

“I don’t think it’s that simple.”

Even the mayor himself was so shocked that he could not speak.

Mu Hui and Fu Siye looked at the situation in front of them with interest, as if they were watching a good show.

Lu Yichen was so anxious that his head was covered in sweat. He did not care whether the person who came was the mayor or the minister. All he wanted to know was the final result.

Ye Zhi was so worried that her palms were sweating. She glanced at Lu Yichen and became even more flustered.

That old woman… Why would she suddenly appear here?

On the other hand, Mu Hui, Fu Siye, and the entire Fu Corporation team were unperturbed. The situation had been blown right open.

Minister Zheng carefully supported the old woman and called her, “Mother”, in front of everyone.

Mother?

In other words, the old lady, whom the mayor thought was crazy, was actually Minister Zheng’s mother.

Lu Yichen’s heart sank to the bottom. Old Madam Zheng had said that the old neighborhood was recognized by the central government as a historical and cultural district. Even if the mayor insisted, he would not go against the higher-ups.

If he could not demolish the old neighborhood, then would his bid be invalid?

All of this happened too suddenly. His face instantly turned ashen.

Fu Siye lowered his head to look at Mu Hui who was deep in thought. His gaze was unbridled as he leaned closer to her and asked, “You know her?”

Mu Hui turned her head and met his inquisitive gaze. She answered very calmly, “I’ve only met her once.”

Fu Siye’s lips curled. She was rather honest.

The mayor was already beginning to regret it and quickly went forward to apologize.

“Minister Zheng, I didn’t know this was your mother. If I knew…”

“Stop being so polite, mayor. I came here for the same reason. The old neighborhood must be preserved and cannot be demolished. Mayor, do you have anything else to say?”

The mayor was speechless. What else could he say?

He suppressed the depression in his heart and took the initiative to apologize.

“Minister Zheng, don’t worry. I will follow the rules of the higher-ups strictly. I will definitely not touch the old neighborhood. You can rest assured about that.”

As soon as he said this, everyone knew that the final winner would definitely be the Fu Corporation.

As expected, the jury finally announced that the winning bidder was the Fu Corporation, and Wan Cheng was taken down by them in one go.

The other teams looked at the Fu Corporation team cheering and felt a little envious.

“They really know how to pick up scraps.”

“That’s right, they’re really lucky. If it weren’t for Amy plagiarizing and Minister Zheng’s incident, this project wouldn’t have been theirs.”

Mu Hui glared coldly at the person who was being sarcastic and replied domineeringly, “Luck is also an ability. If you have the ability, why don’t you participate in the bid?”

“I…”

The person was speechless.

Mu Hui did not bother with that person anymore. She turned to look at Fu Siye and raised her eyebrows.

Fu Siye hooked the tip of Mu Hui’s exquisite nose and smiled dotingly. He teased, “Be good. I’ll reward you when I get back.”

Mu Hui thought to herself that she must ask Fu Siye for more dividends when they return home later. This was the result of her hard work.

While she was pleasantly surprised, her gaze happened to meet Old Madam Zheng’s.

Old Madam Zheng’s gaze was kind as she winked at her.

“Miss, I told you, your kindness is useful.”
