“Rest assured, I’ve made contact with soone in Sunan.

Can you relay a ssage for ?

Tell him that Little Insect here has a few ancient paintings, but I’m not sure who the master behind them is.

I’m asking for his help in identifying them,” Da Long said in a low voice.

“No problem, but…” Deputy Mayor Chen paused, and Da Long imdiately knew what the man wanted, so he quickly added, “I also heard that Mayor Chen likes porcelain vases.

Little Insect, though not skilled, has a few blue and white porcelains at ho.

Could you assess them too?”

“Ah, we’re all family here, why say such things?” the other side replied with a smile.

“Since you’re so sincere, I’d be embarrassed not to help.

Send them to my house soti, but let’s make it clear, I’ll only help with the identification.”

“Alright, just wait at ho then,” Da Long said.

“Little Insect won’t take more of your ti, you’re busy.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, Da Long spit on the ground and cursed.

Damn, if it weren’t for the ergence of the Shura Alliance, would I have to speak so servilely to you?

In the past, I always connected directly with the top echelons, but now with this middleman, I’m always exploited whenever I try to pass goods.

Unbeknownst to him, on the other end of the phone, Deputy Mayor Chen also had a look of disdain.

What scum of society, rely insects in front of .

Anyone who violates the guidelines of socialist construction is an enemy of the state.

If it weren’t for the fact that you’re sowhat sensible, I’d have thrown you into the sewer long ago.

Deputy Mayor Chen sighed, relaxed into the sofa with a cup of tea brought by his secretary.

He felt very relaxed, thinking, today he could finally resolve this matter.

If things continued like this, higher-ups would surely send soone down, possibly impacting his own performance.

Damn, why can’t these people peacefully contribute to the society’s GDP growth instead of always creating conflicts without doing anything substantial?

Just as Deputy Mayor Chen was lost in his thoughts, there was suddenly a commotion in the courtyard.

“What’s going on?” Deputy Mayor Chen curiously walked to the floor-to-ceiling window to look outside and saw a military jeep parked in the courtyard.

“Who dares to be so arrogant?

Parking a jeep directly in our yard,” Deputy Mayor Chen frowned.

Originally, Deputy Mayor Chen was quite dissatisfied.

In his view, the municipal governnt building wasn’t a place that any Tom, Dick, or Harry could just waltz into.

This is our workplace and where we serve the people.

The people should stay at ho; their casual visits just disrupt our efficiency!

But when he saw his two highest superiors welcoming the group by the jeep, his years of experience told him that this vehicle was no ordinary one.

“Could it be that soone from the military’s higher-ups has arrived?” Deputy Mayor Chen muttered to himself, then quickly left his office.

“Hello, hello, hello!” As soon as Song Yun got out of the car, he saw a thin middle-aged man approaching him and vigorously shaking his hand, as if he were greeting money.

Seeing Song Yun’s puzzled expression, the middle-aged man smiled and said, “I’m Mayor Wang Bo of Tian Nan City.

Thank you for your hard work, comrade.

May I ask which commander has co to visit our area?”

Although civil and military authorities are separate, there are still hierarchical considerations in unseen places.

It’s not like you can have a general in this place and leaders not even bother, right?

Besides, such significant figures usually stay connected, and if soone were to speak ill of him to his superiors, how could he continue to mix here?

“Hello, Mayor Wang,” Song Yun smiled and nodded.

“May I ask which commander is personally inspecting our humble place?” Mayor Wang leaned in and looked inside, only noticing ng Ku sitting in the driver’s seat, which puzzled him sowhat.

“None of the commanders ca, just

here to discuss so matters with you,” Song Yun replied, noticing the other’s disappointed face.

“I trust my rank as a Major General is sufficient for you to host

without loss, right?”

“Of course not, of course not,” Mayor Wang quickly waved his hands, jokingly.

The person in front of him looked quite young.

Not even twenty-five?

At such a young age to be a Major General, enjoying the treatnt of a corps commander, wouldn’t he soon beco a general?

“Hehe, don’t worry Mayor Wang, I’m here just to discuss so matters, and the car belongs to an elder of mine,” Song Yun chuckled as he handed his Military District Major General credentials to him.

Although the other party hadn’t requested to check his credentials, better to avoid misunderstandings where possible.

Mayor Wang, having worked here for so long, naturally knew how to distinguish authenticity, and instantly verified the credentials were real.

If converted to civilian status, that also placed him on par with municipal leaders.

Besides, didn’t you hear what he said?

The car belonged to soone’s elder, and just the license plate alone indicated that the real owner of the car was definitely a Lieutenant General.

How many Lieutenant Generals were there in Sunan?

Only one, really—that being the commander of the forces stationed in Sunan City.

It seed that this young man before him had quite the impressive background.

“Hello, Colonel Song.

Please, co inside quickly, or else others might start gossiping,” Mayor Wang said humorously.

“Sure, after you, Mayor Wang,” Song Yun smiled in response.

The group proceeded to the mayor’s office, which was thankfully large enough to accommodate them all.

Only prominent senior officials were present; those with titles prefixed with ‘deputy’ were not qualified to be there.

“May I ask what brought Colonel Song to Tian Nan City today?” Mayor Wang asked as he had his secretary pour tea for everyone gathered.

“Hehe, I’ve just co to inspect the security situation in Tian Nan City briefly.

Over in the Sunan Military Region, we’ve been contemplating allocating a battalion’s force here after the New Year due to land scarcity and people abundance back ho, hence the scarcity of funds, which made us consider deploying locally,” Song Yun took a sip of tea.

“Oh, I see,” Mayor Wang nodded.

“I wonder, Colonel Song, how do you find the security situation in Tian Nan City so far?” a man wearing glasses asked slowly, prompting Song Yun to look towards Mayor Wang with a questioning gaze, as if asking, “Who is this man?”
