Chapter 88 - Be a Good Girl and I’ll Reward You When We Get Back (2/2)

Minister Zheng carefully supported the old woman and called her, “Mother”, in front of everyone.

Mother?

In other words, the old lady, whom the mayor thought was crazy, was actually Minister Zheng’s mother.

Lu Yichen’s heart sank to the bottom. Old Madam Zheng had said that the old neighborhood was recognized by the central government as a historical and cultural district. Even if the mayor insisted, he would not go against the higher-ups.

If he could not demolish the old neighborhood, then would his bid be invalid?

All of this happened too suddenly. His face instantly turned ashen.

Fu Siye lowered his head to look at Mu Hui who was deep in thought. His gaze was unbridled as he leaned closer to her and asked, “You know her?”

Mu Hui turned her head and met his inquisitive gaze. She answered very calmly, “I’ve only met her once.”

Fu Siye’s lips curled. She was rather honest.

The mayor was already beginning to regret it and quickly went forward to apologize.

“Minister Zheng, I didn’t know this was your mother. If I knew…”

“Stop being so polite, mayor. I came here for the same reason. The old neighborhood must be preserved and cannot be demolished. Mayor, do you have anything else to say?”

The mayor was speechless. What else could he say?

He suppressed the depression in his heart and took the initiative to apologize.

“Minister Zheng, don’t worry. I will follow the rules of the higher-ups strictly. I will definitely not touch the old neighborhood. You can rest assured about that.”

As soon as he said this, everyone knew that the final winner would definitely be the Fu Corporation.

As expected, the jury finally announced that the winning bidder was the Fu Corporation, and Wan Cheng was taken down by them in one go.

The other teams looked at the Fu Corporation team cheering and felt a little envious.

“They really know how to pick up scraps.”

“That’s right, they’re really lucky. If it weren’t for Amy plagiarizing and Minister Zheng’s incident, this project wouldn’t have been theirs.”

Mu Hui glared coldly at the person who was being sarcastic and replied domineeringly, “Luck is also an ability. If you have the ability, why don’t you participate in the bid?”

“I…”

The person was speechless.

Mu Hui did not bother with that person anymore. She turned to look at Fu Siye and raised her eyebrows.

Fu Siye hooked the tip of Mu Hui’s exquisite nose and smiled dotingly. He teased, “Be good. I’ll reward you when I get back.”

Mu Hui thought to herself that she must ask Fu Siye for more dividends when they return home later. This was the result of her hard work.

While she was pleasantly surprised, her gaze happened to meet Old Madam Zheng’s.

Old Madam Zheng’s gaze was kind as she winked at her.

“Miss, I told you, your kindness is useful.”
