"It sounds like someone is knocking on the door."
In the living room, the woman sitting opposite Fang Qing looked towards the door.
Fang Qing also put down the teacup.
"My name is Luo Xiu, and I'm from the city."
He heard the noise outside the door and turned to look at the woman.
The woman couldn't help but frown.
"People from the lower city...what do they want to see you for?"
Fang Qing lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before standing up: "Let's take a look at the situation first."
The door opened.
Fang Qing saw a man about his age.
The other person had a kind expression. Although one could see some fatigue on his face, his eyes were surprisingly bright, and it was obvious that he had tidied himself up a bit before coming.
"Your Excellency is..."
"Luo Xiu."
Luo Xiu extended his hand and said politely, "Director of Lower City Internal Affairs."
When these words came out, Liang Ming, who was standing behind Luo Xiu, couldn't help but smile.
The Lower City Interior Minister...
He swore that this was the first time he had heard of this title.
Fang Qing quickly became polite and immediately shook hands with Luo Xiu: "Mr. Luo, nice to meet you! I'm sorry for not welcoming you..."
"Mr. Fang, you're welcome."
Luo Xiu shook hands with the other party cordially. "I'm new to Upper City. I heard that Mr. Fang is the most prestigious person in Jinfeng City, so I came to pay him a visit."
This made Fang Qing immediately cautious. He waved his hands repeatedly, "I don't deserve it! Everyone knows that Jinfeng City is under the jurisdiction of Master Xu Jiang. I'm just a local resident who's known to the neighbors. I don't have the reputation you're talking about!"
After just two sentences, Fang Qing felt that the man in front of him was a bit tricky.
A simple greeting is a big trap.
"Mr. Fang is really too modest."
Luo Xiu still had a smile on his face. "I heard that Mr. Fang was once the city lord of Jinfeng City. This prestige is more than just a familiar face, right?"
"Alas! That's just forcing the issue."
Fang Qing wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead: "The facts have proven that I really don't have the ability to be a city lord."
"It seems Mr. Fang is very concerned about Master Xu's decision to remove you from the position of City Lord!"
Fang Qing suddenly looked at Luo Xiu.
Luo Xiu's smile is warmer than the sun.
After a few seconds of pause, Fang Qing smiled bitterly.
“I do care.”
This time, before Luo Xiu could start his attack, Fang Qing sighed deeply, "It's all my fault. My abilities are limited, and I haven't been appreciated by Master Xu. If I were a little more capable, perhaps I'd have the chance to follow Master Xu on his campaigns! Sprinkle blood on the battlefield, and achieve great things!"
Luo Xiu raised his eyebrows.
This Fang Qing is very slippery!
He admitted that he cared a lot about the position of city lord.
But the emotions expressed were not resentment, but self-blame and regret.
Not to mention anything else, just the ability to respond on the spot was enough to make Luo Xiu start to find it interesting.
At the same time, this also allowed Luo Xiu to immediately judge some of Fang Qing's thoughts.
"Abilities can be cultivated, and with a sincere heart...anything is possible!"
Fang Qing responded sincerely to Luo Xiu's profound words: "Thank you, Chief Luo, for your guidance!"
Although what Luo Xiu said before made Fang Qing be quite cautious in his response, it was not too surprising.
Someone who had served as the mayor of Jinfeng City would not be fooled by just a few words.
But then, Luo Xiu's words caused Fang Qing's brain to crash briefly.
"Do you like my advice?"
"ah?"
Fang Qing thought he had misheard at first.
After a while, he finally confirmed that what he heard was correct.
It can be said that this way of conversation has completely disrupted the rhythm that Fang Qing perceived.
Therefore, he had to analyze carefully to see if there was any thunder waiting for him in these words...
"I like it, of course I like it..."
Fang Qing still felt something was wrong, but he answered anyway.
"Okay, since you like it, I'll come in and sit down with you and give you some pointers."
Luo Xiu fully demonstrated the "shameless" spirit of the people in the lower city. He walked into the room on his own without any invitation from Fang Qing.
Before Fang Qing could even stop them, Luo Xiu and his group had already walked in.
It was only when Lin Chuan passed by that Fang Qing came to his senses.
"Brother Chuan, this is..."
"Just saying hello, nothing more."
Lin Chuan smiled and patted Fang Qing's shoulder.
After the others went in, Fang Qing frowned and quickly followed them in.
When he followed in, he saw Luo Xiu's eyes were on the woman in front of him.
Originally, Fang Qing thought he could just send him away at the door, and never thought Luo Xiu would barge in like an unwelcome outsider.
But now...
Fang Qing's heart suddenly moved.
He found that there seemed to be something wrong with Luo Xiu's eyes.
No, to be exact, it's too right!
This is how a man should react when he sees an attractive woman.
Luo Xiu's eyes were almost falling on this woman.
I have to say that although this woman is not young and is already in her early thirties, her charm is no less than that of a young girl.
The woman's name is Xu Fei.
Doing happy business.
Xu Fei played an indispensable role in Fang Qing becoming the city lord.
