"You're finally back," Yunmei said. "I've been so busy with government affairs these days that I haven't had time to go to school. I had to move my books and textbooks to the secretary's office and study while I work."
"Has anything big happened at the city government?" Wang Xiaohai asked. He seemed to have become a hands-off mayor, as if his predecessors had done what they should have done. If he wanted to leave his name in history, Qingliu City could just start a war. However, Qingliu City had no army, only a few thousand police officers. It seemed that with his current ability, one person could be as good as an army. Wang Xiaohai found that he had thought in the wrong way, so he pulled his thoughts back.
"It's nothing, just the heads of various banks came to ask you to pay back the money." Yunmei said, "But I said you were not in the government, you were on a business trip."
"What money should I pay back?" Wang Xiaohai wondered when he owed them money.
"It's the 20 billion that the former mayor and they borrowed." Yunmei reminded.
"Oh." Wang Xiaohai remembered that he had been practicing sword-concentrating and flying these days and had forgotten everything else.
"Why should we pay back the money the former mayor borrowed?" Wang Xiaohai said. "He didn't even use a single cent of the money he borrowed, yet he wants me to pay back 20 billion for him. Does that make sense?"
"But he borrowed it in the name of the municipal government for the sewer project," said Yunmei.
"But the sewer was built by the mayor ten years ago. He's just renovated it at best." Wang Xiaohai recalled reading the biographies and experiences of the previous thirty-two mayors of Qingliu City in his office. "It couldn't have cost a few hundred million. The rest went into his pocket. Ask the procuratorate to help investigate this sewer project. Even if he's dead, we'll recover the 20 billion from his family."
"Okay." Yunmei said.
"It's late today. We'll investigate tomorrow. Remember to ask the police and procuratorate to go with you to prevent any accidents," Wang Xiaohai said. "Your mission from now on is to recover the 20 billion yuan, every penny you can get back."
In the villa, Fang Fang was playing a console game produced by Alliance Technology Company. The game was called Rise of the Rogues. Fang Fang had been obsessed with this game recently.
"Fang Fang, stop playing games and go out to buy groceries," said Wang Xiaohai.
"Go buy it yourself. You're fast and can reach the vegetable market in seconds." Fang Fang held the handle without even turning her head.
Yunmei came over.
"It's okay, there are still a lot in the refrigerator, I bought some." Yunmei said.
Wang Xiaohai looked outside and it was already dark.
"Let's go out for dinner," Wang Xiaohai said. "No need to cook." He felt his pocket and found only three thousand yuan left.
The mayor of a city with a population of tens of millions is so poor!
Wang Xiaohai suddenly thought that he had no salary and was only spending money with no income, because all the previous mayors of Qingliu City had signed an annual salary agreement for the minimum of only one dollar. Of course, he could not make an exception, so he also signed an agreement to only receive an annual salary of one dollar.
However, as the mayor of a city with a population of tens of millions, he is not forced to feed people with steamed buns and porridge. If he has no money in his pocket, he can go to the city government cafeteria to eat for free every day. Wang Xiaohai is not only the youngest mayor in the history of Qingliu City, but also the poorest mayor in the history of Qingliu City.
"You bought all the vegetables at home. Have you received your salary?" Wang Xiaohai asked Yunmei.
"Yes, I get it. As the mayor's secretary, I get paid once a week. Don't you know?" Yunmei said.
Wang Xiaohai really doesn’t know.
"I'll give you some money when I have money, as food expenses," said Wang Xiaohai.
"You've given me millions, don't you know?" Yunmei said, "I haven't spent it all yet."
"Wait a moment, I'll go down and drive up." Wang Xiaohai went to the underground garage and drove out a car.
Unexpectedly, when Wang Xiaohai drove to the middle of the yard, Fang Fang opened the door and got in before Yunmei.
"Aren't you going to play games anymore?" Wang Xiaohai said.
"I'm hungry and don't want to eat instant noodles." Fang Fang replied.
"Can a magician get hungry too?" Wang Xiaohai asked sarcastically.
"Magicians are also human beings and need to replenish their energy and physical strength," said Fang Fang.
"When Yunmei went to work, did you eat instant noodles every day?" Wang Xiaohai said, "Every meal, right?"
"Without instant noodles every meal, I sometimes heat up bagged roast chicken in the microwave and eat it as a meal," said Fang Fang.
Yunmei came over and sat in the back seat of the car.
Wang Xiaohai immediately started the car and slowly drove out of the yard.
Originally, the government wanted to assign some servants to Wang Xiaohai to take care of the villa and manage the yard, but Yun Meici rejected them all. She said she didn't like being disturbed and liked quietness.
The car stopped at a roadside food stall where many people were staying. The three of them got out and went in to order some food.
When the three of them were halfway through their meal, Yunmei received a call asking if the mayor was free. The league was about to start, and the TV station invited him to the TV to encourage the students going to the game.
This time, Qingliu City has 100 recommended places, 20 of which are allocated to Qingliu University, 20 to the Martial Arts Academy and the Magic Academy, and 80 to all other schools, with an average of two to three places per school.
Wang Xiaohai thought to himself, since he was also a contestant, did he really need to go in front of the TV to cheer for himself? That wouldn't work, so he refused and said, "Just ask the TV station to invite Secretary Guan Lina, and I won't have to show up."
Yunmei conveyed Wang Xiaohai's intention to the TV station. The TV station did not dare to force it and turned to call the secretary Lina.
Halfway through the meal, Fang Fang drank too much beer and got up to go to the bathroom. Unexpectedly, she bumped into a young man with dyed yellow hair, pierced ears and earrings. The man fell to the ground instantly.
"Ouch, where are your eyes?" the man with earrings cursed. "You bumped into your grandfather, do you know who I am?"
