Kiss Me Goodnight, Mrs. CEO! Chapter 921 - The Cup of Tea

Chapter 921: The Cup of Tea

He was there only to act as the middleman after all.

Now that the matter had been settled, he had nothing more to do with it.

Of course, leaving at this time was part of his plan.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Mayor Xia hurriedly stood up and respectfully sent him off. Only s.h.i.+ Yuting remained seated on the sofa without glancing at Ke Zhengfeng. Instead, he nonchalantly picked up the cup of tea he had poured and brought it to his lips, about to take a sip.

However, just as the tea was about to reach his mouth, his movements suddenly stopped.

He seemed to feel a pair of familiar eyes sweeping over him from the dark.

His dark eyes focused, and he silently glanced at the tea in his hand.

Seeing that he had brought the cup of tea to his mouth, the bodyguard who was leaving with Ke Zhengfeng smirked, then turned around and disappeared around the corner.

s.h.i.+ Yuting put down the cup of tea and suddenly turned his head to look at the spot where Ke Zhengfeng had left, but the man had already disappeared.

Why did he feel that s.h.i.+ Tiannan was here? But he had scanned the people who were here just now, and did not see s.h.i.+ Tiannan’s figure.

Except for that bodyguard…

Suddenly, his eyes turned cold, and his gaze once again glanced at the spot where Ke Zhengfeng had left. His thin lips curled up slightly..

He put the cup back on the table.

“Mayor Xia, what do you think?” He looked at the mayor with a faint smile on his face.

The mayor looked at him. “I think it’s very good. If I can really count on your company to make A City flourish and prosper, I would naturally be more than happy to do so.”

Hearing this, s.h.i.+ Yuting chuckled and secretly glanced at the bureau chief sitting next to the mayor.

“Is that so? I had spent a lot of time and effort before this, but I still couldn’t negotiate for this land successfully.” Although he didn’t really spend a lot of time and effort, he only said this because he wanted to see how they would react. There was something he’d like to confirm. He wanted to put the bureau chief in a tight spot too.

As soon as he said this, Mayor Xia instantly frowned.

Had they discussed this previously? Why hadn’t he heard of it before?

As he thought about it, he couldn’t help but glance at the bureau chief beside him.

When he met his gaze, Bureau Chief Chen smiled unnaturally. “Oh, it must have been my subordinate’s negligence. I’ve never seen this proposal properly before either.”

“Is that so?”

s.h.i.+ Yuting turned his head and looked at Xiangyi.

Xiangyi looked momentarily at s.h.i.+ Yuting before turning back to Bureau Chief Chen. “I’m afraid that is not true. Previously, I had handed the entire proposal to Bureau Chief Chen and watched him read it. In fact, he even increased the price by 8%.”

8%?!

Hearing Xiangyi’s words, the mayor’s face immediately darkened, and he turned to Bureau Chief Chen, glaring at him.

Having been exposed, Bureau Chief Chen started to get anxiously uneasy.

“Well, I-I didn’t see the figures properly. I must have missed a ‘0’.”

“There weren’t any 0’s in the price I gave,” said s.h.i.+ Yuting.

This time, Bureau Chief Chen was completely fl.u.s.tered.

The mayor’s face turned ashen.

8% was not a small amount. He was obviously just trying to fill his own pockets!

“Go write a letter of apology and hand it over!” Mayor Xia insisted sternly to Bureau Chief Chen.

Bureau Chief Chen had no choice but to nod his head.

“Sorry for making a fool of myself,” said Mayor Xia to s.h.i.+ Yuting.

s.h.i.+ Yuting chuckled and was about to pick up the tea again because he was indeed a little thirsty.

However, he paused again when his hand touched the teacup.
