Han Jinghong walked out the door with his two subordinates. All along the way, the villagers automatically cleared a path for them.
But no one dared to greet him, which he found incredibly frustrating.
He also felt a little regretful for not having said goodbye to Su Shuochi before leaving. 'But we probably won't cross paths again in the future,' he thought.
The thought made him feel a bit better. As they were nearing the village entrance,
Han Jinghong suddenly stopped and turned to look at the older man trailing behind them. "Mayor Zhang, why are you following us?"
"Heh heh, I was hoping to invite you to my office for a visit," Mayor Zhang said quickly, trying to curry favor.
He couldn't miss this opportunity to get acquainted with a junior member of the Han family. If his father found out he'd passed it up, he'd be skinned alive.
Han Jinghong's brow furrowed. 'This man is certainly persistent.' However, he had no intention of befriending someone like him.
