After Hu Yuan followed the town mayor to his mansion, the mayor began to treat Hu Yuan with great respect.
"I never imagined you were the famous Hu Yuan. If everyone knew it was you who caused such a stir for Mr. Thoros back then, I believe many people would want to know you!"
The mayor's words surprised Hu Yuan. He hadn't taken the matter seriously, but he never expected to actually encounter something like this today.
"Mayor, you've been here for far too long. I have no relatives or friends here, and it's very difficult for anyone to recognize me. I've kept my name hidden all these years not for any other reason than to gain a good reputation. If you're determined to expose me, that's fine with me!"
The mayor was actually quite skeptical, because he knew Eric Foods' reputation and would never joke about something like this.
"Since you say you're just hiding your identity, what exactly do you want to do at my factory?"
Hu Yuan's lips curled up slightly. He knew that he had now taken the initiative. If he could continue to communicate with him, his future would be limitless. So he immediately showed his sincerity, sat down in front of the mayor, and spoke to him cautiously.
"Actually, I didn't want to say much about these things, but since you asked me to, Mayor, I won't hold back. Over the years, thanks to your guidance, my food company hasn't collapsed so quickly. But now I hope you can help me out. After all, without your careful support over the years, I'm afraid I really wouldn't dare to act so recklessly."
When the town mayor heard Hu Yuan say this, he couldn't help but feel uneasy. He felt as if he was the one who was at fault. However, it was pointless for him to say anything more now, because no one was going to listen to his opinion. Therefore, many people still hated him.
However, Hu Yuan then took out another piece of paper. It turned out that when Hu Yuan entered this place, he already knew that this company must have a great relationship with Thoros, so he was determined to acquire this place, which is why he dared to appear here.
The mayor carefully examined the items he had just received, feeling a strange sense of relief, yet also realizing that these things didn't seem to have much to do with him.
But after he looked through the contract in his hand, he was quite surprised. It turned out that Hu Yuan wanted to buy the whole place.
"I didn't expect you to have such a big appetite! You actually want to buy out my town, which is really unbelievable to me!"
Although the town mayor knew that Hu Yuan had indeed made a name for himself in New Orleans, he was afraid that acquiring his town would be beyond his capabilities.
"I know you have indeed made great contributions outside, but it may not be easy for you to stay here. I suggest you be careful, otherwise if something really happens, I'm afraid even I won't be able to save you!"
Hearing the town mayor's words, Hu Yuan couldn't help but feel a little desolate, but he didn't hesitate at all about what the mayor said.
"Since you insist on taking over all these places, I won't make things difficult for you. However, you should also be aware that our current situation is quite dangerous. And you probably don't know that we are all Mr. Thoros's subordinates. If you really want to compete with us, I'm afraid you are still too green!"
Hu Yuan quietly looked at the town mayor, which completely crushed the mayor's previous arrogance and made him realize that this matter might not be so simple.
"It seems you're determined to acquire our entire company. But that's alright, we all know how talented and ambitious you are. There are some things we have to make clear to you now, otherwise I'm not afraid you'll have to come back to us if something goes wrong!"
The mayor also presented Hu Yuan with a contract, which made Hu Yuan feel somewhat conflicted. However, judging from the current situation, even for Hu Yuan, it would be difficult to get York Town to provide Eric Foods with a continuous supply of food ingredients. At the very least, Soros would not let the matter rest once he learned about it.
"Since you've all presented your contingency plans, I won't say anything more. After all, you've worked very hard over the years, so I won't say anything more either!"
Hu Yuan nodded slightly, then put the contract proposed by the town mayor into his briefcase. After carefully looking around and feeling that there were no problems, he stopped talking.
"I hope we can cooperate smoothly. After all these years, I haven't wanted to cause you any trouble. It's just that you've been pretending to be clever. But I also hope that we can think things through carefully in the future!"
Hu Yuan then left with the contract. As he stepped outside, he ran into the workshop director. Seeing Hu Yuan's relaxed expression, the director assumed that Hu Yuan had signed some kind of contract with the town mayor, which explained his cheerful demeanor. So, the director went up to Hu Yuan to curry favor, but Hu Yuan didn't take it seriously at all.
"I never expected you to be so secretive, having connections with the town mayor. It's truly unbelievable. But when you first came in, you didn't mention any of this. Are you hiding something from us?"
Hu Yuan sized up the profit-driven workshop director and sensed that the man was more resilient than he had imagined. When he first arrived, he thought the workshop director was alright, but now it seemed he had misjudged him.
“Sir, we don’t seem to know each other very well, and I didn’t come to York to work. You just mistook me for an ordinary worker. But you’ll soon pay the price for that, though you don’t realize it yourself. I hope our relationship ends here, or I might fire you if I see you again. If you think what I’m saying is a bit strange, go ask your mayor!”
