Chapter 609 - 609 Shocking
609 Shocking
Chu Ning took the note and read it even faster; it only took her a few seconds.
However, the contents of the paper made her heart skip a beat. She subconsciously wanted to take a look at Xu Xi, but she held back and returned the note.
Xu Xi did not hesitate. He took the lighter that he had prepared beforehand and lit the paper. It turned into ashes and fell into the glass of water in front of him.
“Students! Lighters are prohibited in the convenience store!” After Xu Xi was done, the service staff walked over with a frown.
If she hadn’t caught a whiff of ash, she wouldn’t have even noticed the situation there. However, the warning was still very necessary.
Just as Xu Xi was about to explain his actions, Chu Ning beat him to it and said apologetically, “Yes, Miss. We won’t do it again. Can we have two more codfish burgers?”
“Let’s forget about it this time. I won’t allow it next time.” After hearing Chu Ning’s words, the staff’s tone became much more relaxed. She then turned to prepare the codfish burgers that Chu Ning wanted.
There were many types of burgers in the convenience store, but the codfish burger was the most expensive and profitable.
“This news…if true, it’s really shocking.” Chu Ning looked at Xu Xi and took a deep breath.
“Who knows, but at least I can guarantee that the information I got from my eldest uncle is absolutely correct.” After Xu Xi destroyed the ‘evidence’, he felt much more at ease.
“M City’s current annual gross domestic product is over 400 billion yuan. However, there was a time when Eldest Uncle drank too much and finally revealed his, or rather, the mayor’s, ambitions. They want M City’s gross domestic product to reach 500 billion yuan within three years. You know, this is very difficult, but it will affect whether the mayor can be promoted again. The deputy governor of Province A will retire in a few years. At that time, who will hold such great power?” Xu Xi lowered his voice even further.
“Whoever has good political achievements will get it,” Xu Xi concluded.
Hearing Xu Xi’s analysis, Wen An’s face appeared in Chu Ning’s mind.
She felt that Wen An, who was dedicated to serving the people, could continue to advance, but the gap between village chief and mayor was very likely to be a journey that he would not be able to complete in his lifetime.
“M City is going to have a big reshuffle.” Chu Ning sighed softly.
“It’s more suitable to call it a big purge.” Xu Xi corrected her.
“Seize the opportunity and rise up. Of course, this success is built on a bunch of failures,” Xu Xi said with a smile.
“I have to go.” Chu Ning thought for a moment and felt that she should leave immediately. She didn’t want to waste even a single minute.
“I’ll finish the burgers by myself?” Xu Xi asked feebly.
“If you like hamburgers, I’ll open a restaurant just for you in the future…” Chu Ning had already walked to the entrance of the convenience store, but her words still reached Xu Xi’s ears.
Xu Xi’s face instantly turned red.
The number of people on The Parade had gone up again.
As soon as Chu Ning got out of the car at the entrance of The Parade, the surging crowd in front of her caught her attention. At the same time, the air was filled with the fragrance of all kinds of mouth-watering delicacies, constantly stimulating her taste buds.
This was also the reason the number of people on The Parade had increased exponentially that day. With the arrival of delicious food, the reputation of The Parade had suddenly soared.
Chu Ning looked at everything in front of her with satisfaction. Things had gone far smoother than she had expected.
When she reached the residential area of The Parade, Chu Ning realized that Old Fang was still working with his men at that time. She looked at the time and saw that it was already past six in the evening.
“Old Fang, it’s time to rest. There’ll never be an end to the work that needs to be done.” Chu Ning walked up to Old Fang and said helplessly.
“I’ll be resting soon,” Old Fang replied with a simple smile.
“How is it? Are you used to living here?” Chu Ning beamed.
“Just like heaven,” Old Fang said after thinking for a moment.
“Don’t say that. It’s unlucky. If you have any other difficulties in life, you can tell me at any time,” Chu Ning said smilingly.
She only felt that these people really wouldn’t slack off at all. After the greenery in the residential area was completed, the next step was to repave the roads.
Chu Ning had a lot of ideas, but they were also very extravagant. She felt that cement or even asphalt roads were not suitable. Therefore, the roads in the residential area were paved with cobblestones and large pieces of marble. Additionally, they had to have matching environmental decorations. This required a lot of manpower and material resources. The rent that Chu Ning had just earned was gone in an instant, and she even had to top up more money.
