Jiang Xueyan watched, dumbfounded, as Lin Ke danced with vivacious steps. Unlike Jiang’s affected and pretentious innocence, Lin Ke embodied the genuine sprightliness of youth. Jiang Xueyan’s exquisitely made-up face appeared nobly refined, but it was all artificial, whereas the young girl was naturally fresh and lovely without the need for makeup. In terms of dress sense too, the young girl seemed to possess an air of purity that surpassed hers. The loudspeakers could only play the most explosive and exciting pop songs of the moment. Highbrows sneered at them, but the masses adored them, especially for square dancing. As soon as the music started, the onlookers couldn’t help but sway and get excited along with the rhythm. Lin Ke was especially mischievous, dancing away merrily and beckoning bystanders to join with hand gestures. Sure enough, in the crowd, girls and young wives, aunties and moms, even old men and uncles, couldn’t help but dance along somewhat uncontrollably. It wasn’t

Mayor Ji Mingyang stared out of the window, his eyes filled with disbelief. They had just been discussing Bai Xiaosheng, asserting that there was no way he could show up. Yet now, Bai Xiaosheng was actually in Yunhai, just a few dozen meters away from him. It was like the saying: speak of the devil... and he appears right here! Mayor Ji Mingyang was at a loss for words. Noticing Mayor Ji Mingyang looking in that direction, Mayor Chu Xingyun also glanced over and immediately furrowed his brow. He could see there was a problem. Hundreds of people had gathered at the scene, with dozens more surrounding two individuals, their demeanor aggressive, as if ready to fight. Yunhai was known for being a peaceful city; under Mayor Chu’s governance, it had nearly achieved a state of peace where houses didn’t need to be locked at night and items found on the road were not picked up—a city selected as one of the "top ten most livable cities in the south." How could he take his old friend—a fellow ma

In Yunhai City, inside the mayor’s office, Bai Xiaosheng was having an animated conversation with Mayor Chu Xingyun. During the conversation, Bai Xiaosheng felt that Chu Xingyun was indeed a leader with great resolve, foresight, and the ability to heed constructive advice. Therefore, he did not hesitate to offer his suggestions. In fact, the development of a city is an extremely complex topic. From experts and scholars, down to the folks on the street, many have left their suggestions all over the internet. Of course, as a city mayor, Chu Xingyun was too busy to find the time, let alone the possibility of collecting all the vast information, sifting through it to distill the essence. Even if Chu Xingyun had established a special research team dedicated to this task around the clock, it would not have yielded immediate results. But Bai Xiaosheng was different. Whenever Chu Xingyun mentioned a certain point, Red Lotus could search the entire web for relevant views and comments, select t

Minghao was also being spiteful, clamoring for retaliation. When he heard Ji Mingyang say that the young man who had undermined him was named Bai Xiaosheng, he remembered the name. As soon as he spoke, his father abruptly slapped his hand on the coffee table, causing the teacup on it to jump, the lid askew, which showed how much force he had used. This sudden action startled both Han Dong and Han Minghao. "Damn it, are you crazy?!" Han Dong glared at Han Chengren and roared. Back when Han Dong was young, he also had a fiery temper, constantly using harsh language. Otherwise, how could Han Chengren repeatedly call him "donkey-raised"? It was clearly "like father, like son"... Such habits are hard to change. Decades of cultivation had elevated Han Dong to a new level, enabling him not to swear at others. Outside the home, Han Chengren managed to be cautious at all times, but at home, especially in front of his own son, he sometimes couldn’t help himself. The fright and the curse just no

In a Mercedes-Benz V-Class, Han Chengren explained the entire situation to Han Chengyi. "Oh, so something happened! Someone came to Yunhai and gave our local business second-generation a lesson!" Han Chengyi listened in surprise and found it amusing, even stealing a glance at Han Minghao. Han Minghao’s face was a bit awkward. "Uncle, if Mayor Chu hadn’t shown up, there’s no telling who would’ve ended up dealing with whom!" Han Minghao murmured softly. He still felt somewhat unconvinced and unwilling to accept the outcome. "You better shut up! Troublemaker!" Han Chengren glared at his son and scolded. "Big brother, don’t talk about Minghao like that," Han Chengyi defended, "Should we just let others trample over us without fighting back?" "Exactly." Minghao, seeing his uncle’s Enjoy reading on NovelHub - your free online novel platform. However, with a glare from Han Chengren, he didn’t dare make a peep. "The key point is that that guy is not ordinary at all!" Han Chengren recounted ev
