That surprised expression seemed to say...

Did I hear that right?!

Or did I misunderstand?

These fruit machines and slot machines are not the two types of gambling machines I was thinking of!

After pouring the wine for Gao Ren, Mayor Li noticed the surprise on Gao Ren's face and then explained with a smile,

General Gao,

"With your leading investment, many people from Hong Kong Island, Macau, and even the Golden Triangle are coming to Guangzhou to invest!"

"But with Guangzhou's economic boom, the problems that Hong Kong Island encountered are now also being encountered here,"

"All sorts of underground casinos and arcades have sprung up like mushrooms after rain!"

"Rather than letting these people earn this money, it would be better for General Gao and Miss Ruby to earn it!"

"At least you two will pay taxes on the money you earn..."

Gao Ren's first reaction upon hearing this was not that he had any special privileges.

But... this isn't some kind of trap you've set for me, is it?

"Mayor Li...you know me!"

"I am...."

Upon hearing Gao Ren's hesitant description, Mayor Li naturally knew what Gao Ren was worried about.

He then gave his secretary a look, and then...

The secretary took a document out of her briefcase and placed it in front of Gao Ren.

General Gao,

"You don't need to worry, your arcade's approval was specially granted by higher authorities!"

Mayor Li had barely finished speaking when Commander Xu chimed in.

"Xiao Gao, look at the signature on the document!"

"I had to risk my reputation and beg the higher-ups for that!"

Upon hearing Commander Xu's words, Gao Ren's gaze immediately fell upon the signature on the document.

There were three characters in the location of the red stamp.

This name, composed of just three characters, has single-handedly changed the current economic situation...
