“There’s no need for you and President Zhou to come over for such a small matter. Just leave it to me.”

“Yes, yes. Don’t worry. I’ll definitely pay attention.”

“Alright, alright. Then go ahead. Please send my regards to President Zhou. Thank you!”

The mayor of S City, Han Lin, spoke respectfully to Zhou Xuan’s assistant on the other end of the line. From time to time, he would bow and flatter him, afraid that he would say something wrong and make the noble unhappy.

After the call ended, Han Lin heaved a sigh of relief. He wiped the sweat on his forehead from being too nervous and straightened his body.

Ten minutes ago, the assistant of the president of the Federation’s number one financial group, Zhou Xuan, actually called him and bluntly said that he wanted him to take special care of a family with the surname Shan. The other party even said that there would be benefits in working for President Zhou.

Although Han Lin wanted to curry favor with the Zhou family for a long time, this was the first time he had interacted with someone close to Zhou Xuan. He was so frightened that he quickly agreed in fear.

To him, this matter was like a huge sweet pie that had fallen from the sky. It smashed him until he was dizzy. He even began to imagine the comfortable days of being promoted to a noble in the future.

However, after hanging up the phone, he thought about it carefully. There didn’t seem to be any cadres or famous figures in S City with the surname Shan. He had been the mayor for ten years, but he knew nothing about this Shan family. It was really strange.

Han Lin took a closer look at the location where the Shan family lived. It was actually a residential building in a slum near the suburbs. It did not look like a rich and powerful family, making Han Lin even more confused.

Something was wrong. Han Lin touched his bald head.

The Shan family that Zhou Xuan had called to ask him to take care of was definitely not simple. They were either hidden great families or had countless connections with Zhou Xuan. He had to be careful.

“Why don’t I find an opportunity to give this Shan family a villa and arrange for a luxury car? I can’t let the people taken care of by the Zhou family live in that kind of slum, right?” Han Lin lit a cigarette and muttered worriedly.

Soon, he dismissed this thought and frowned. “Zhou Xuan’s assistant specially instructed me not to disturb the Shan family if there’s nothing important. What if the Shan family likes to live a hard life to train their mental state? Will I provoke them and make them angry if I do this?”

Han Lin racked his brains but could not think of a reasonable way to please the Shan family and use the Shan family to talk to Zhou Xuan. He could not help but smoke one cigarette after another and sigh.

“Yo, Dad, what are you worried about?” As soon as Han Ye returned home, he saw his father, who had always been the mayor of S City, sighing.

Although his father could not compare to those powerful officials in the central city of the Federation, he was a man of his word in this small S City. This was the first time he had seen his father so troubled. Could something have happened?

“Did something bad happen?” At the thought of this, Han Ye’s heart skipped a beat, and his voice trembled. He had such a good father and had not had enough of being domineering in S City. If something really happened, all his good days would be gone.

“Bastard, screw you!” Han Lin was interrupted by his son. A certain thought that he had vaguely thought of immediately dissipated. Looking at Han Ye’s ignorant and incompetent appearance, Han Lin wished he could kick him. “What bad thing? It’s a great thing!”

As long as he grasped the opportunity Zhou Xuan gave him and exchanged it for Zhou Xuan’s appreciation of him, he might be able to use the Zhou family to enter the central city of the Federation and rise all the way!

However, he had yet to figure out how to seize this opportunity. It seemed that he had to ask more about the Shan family so that he could treat the right illness.

Hearing that nothing bad had happened, Han Ye relaxed.

Seeing that Han Lin was in a bad temper, he wanted to slip away quickly. “That’s good, that’s good. Dad, go ahead. I’ll go upstairs.”

“Stop right there!” Han Lin glared at Han Ye’s fancy clothes and was instantly furious. “You’re already in your twenties and can’t do anything. Look at Zhou Xuan from the Zhou family. He’s not much older than you. He’s already taken over the Zhou Corporation and is doing well! Your father, I, has to chase after him to carry his shoes!”
